Food Processing Machinery: Why is it essential in the food processing industry?
First of all, what is Food Processing? Turning fresh food into Food products is Food Processing. Now, there are many combinations of processes to which this food undergoes. Food undergoes processes like Washing, Purification, Chopping, Freezing, Souring, Cooking, etc. This helps to improve convenience, availability, Food Safety, etc. On the other hand, there are some disadvantages too like it removes the nutrients, fiber present in the food. So, let’s see what Food Processing Machinery is and why is it so important.
What
is Food Processing Machinery?
So, above you see the
idea behind Food Processing and what are the processes the food goes through.
But all of that is not possible by manpower, we need to use machines to do
this. Generally, the equipment that are used in Food Processing is what we
called machines. So, what exactly this machine is doing is that it rinses, chops, and
harvests to make it attractive to customers and marketable food products. There’s
a wide variety of machines and equipment used in this industry. Over the few
years, Food Engineer department has become so important.
Every Food Processing
industry has evolved and become complex. But innovation is needed to satisfy
the consumer demands because what consumer sees in food products is its value,
genuineness, and safety. The machines are aimed towards consumability, conservation,
and also perform important functions such as construction, handling, and
packaging.
Processes
involving in Preparation
1. Proper Washing
First of all, it
properly cleans. Now cleaning is done in two ways, both wet and dry to remove
dirt from the surface of the food.
2. Assessment
Next is assessment of
the food to obtain its overall quality. This is done by the trained operators.
3. Removing Skin
For improving more quality,
it undergoes in process of removing the outer surface or non-needed substance
from the food.
4. Classifying
It is basically to
separates the foreign substance from the raw food.
Automatic
Processing
After preparation
equipment, the next step is Automatic processing or Mechanical Processing. This
also includes numerous amounts of processes.
1. Cutting the
Proportion
The first process is
to reduce the size of food substance through force or compression like Grinding
and Cutting.
2. Increase the size
This method used to
increase the standard size of food matter. The equipment that is involved in
These processes are Extrusion, Agglomeration or Rotating Pans and Forming for
molding.
3. Unifying
In this process the
particle size decreases and the consistency of liquid substance increases. The
equipment that is used in Unifying are Mixers, Mills, etc.
4. Blending
In this method, they
have to maintain a constant mixture. By mixing and dispersing more than two
components into one another.
As the consumer demand
increases the food processing industry will exponentially rise and evolve and
only improve in the future.
