Food Processing Equipment

A wide range of instruments, gages, machinery and equipment is used in the food
processing industry. In many cases, this equipment must meet vigorous quality
standards to ensure manufacturers meet proper food handling procedures.
Generally, equipment used in food processing applications serves one of the
following purposes: measurement, preparation, storage, packaging or cooking.

Measurement devices include scales and weighing systems, thermometers, pressure

gages, timers and other precision control components. These instruments are used
to analyze ingredients and machines, and to allow manufacturers to perform and
duplicate processing procedures without complications. They are also used to
monitor existing systems and machinery, whether to log data during product testing
or to quantify typical performance statistics. Measurement devices are particularly
important during food manufacture, as minor changes in cooking temperature,
ingredient ratios and operation times can lead to drastic changes in the finished
product.

Preparation and cooking equipment includes conveyor systems, ovens, dispensing

machines, mixing and cutting machines, and transport hoses, pipes and tubes. Each
food preparation facility is unique, and many preparation systems are custom
designed for the required application. However, a wide variety of standard systems
are incorporated into the final design, allowing manufacturers to minimize the
expense of full-scale customization. Preparation and cooking components require
regular maintenance and cleaning to meet accepted industry standards.

Storage and packaging equipment used for the food industry ranges from simple
plastic wrapping to vacuum sealing and bottling. Freezers, coolers and chillers help
maintain delicate ingredients and temperature sensitive products for future use or
sale. Various sealing and packing techniques are used by manufacturers, including
shrink wrap, tamper-proof caps, air-tight bags and cardboard boxes. Pallets, racks,
bins and drums are also available for large shipments.
 Oven Systems
Twin Drum Spiral Oven

Separate cylindrical enclosures give you independent control of

temperature and moisture around each spiral drum for True Two-
Zone™ uniform cooking. 360° airflow cooks uniformly across all belts
for faster cooking, higher yields and production output.
 Fryer System
Unitized Vacuum Fryer

Frying without external vacuum chamber, excess floor space and labor! Creates its own internal vacuum
and boils off product moisture at a lower temperature to produce snacks from high-sugar products
without browning, and at less than 248 Mussel minimizes formation of acrylamide.
 Washing & Dewatering
Potato Slice Pre-Washer

Quickly remove surface starch and scraps from potato slices. Compact design reduces water
consumption.
 Oil Heating
Horizontal Heat Exchanger

Fast, uniform heating of cooking oil with no hot spots. Compact, horizontal design features easily
inspectable stainless steel oil tubing and high thermal efficiency. Completely assembled, ready
for operation and available with burner systems for natural gas, light oil, LPG or combination
fuels.
 Peeling / Inspection / Slicing
Batch Peelers

Get excellent peeling control and high yields of potatoes. Batch size and dwell time are
programmable. Multi-stage Batch Peelers deliver polished peeled potatoes to reduce peel loss
and cleaning requirements of your fryer.
