The classification of sunflower seeds changes according to the pattern of its shell or hull. If the shell is solid black, it is an oilseed sunflower. With these, you produce sunflower oil. If the shell is striped, it is a non-oil sunflower seed or confectionery sunflower seed. These usually become snack food products. Whether to make them as snacks or oil, processing sunflower seeds include steps like drying, screening and cleaning, grading, roasting and de-hulling, flavoring, grinding, pressing, refining, and packing.

Although primarily used as food for animals, recent studies have found that dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) could reduce heart disease risk in humans. Dried distillers grains are a cereal byproduct of the distillation process  - a mix of corn, rice, and other grains dried to 10–12% moisture. DDGS production entails processes from cleaning the grains over cooking to fermentation and drying.

A juicy piece of fruit evokes images of sunlight and warmth. But manufacturers take the reverse route and freeze the harvested products to keep their nutritious mix of minerals, fibers, and vitamins intact. Frozen fruit processing equipment takes temperatures down to around -18 °C, giving the foods an extended lease of life. Many smoothies, jams, and purees we consume are the fruit of frozen labor.

Bag filling equipment is a crucial component in many industries where products need to be packaged efficiently and quickly. Whether you're filling bags with powder, granules, or other materials, automated bag fillers can streamline the process and save time and labor costs. Bag fillers often come with additional features, such as stickers or other labeling equipment, to add branding or product information to the bags. This can save time and money by eliminating the need for separate labeling equipment.

Bag Filling

Form, fill, and seal machines complete the packaging, filling, and sealing in one continuous process and eliminate the need for three separate machines. Most form, fill and seal systems use flexible films to form the primary package. Vertical machines are simpler and faster whereas horizontal systems are better suited to the packaging of solid products that do not flow well. Form, fill, and seal machines are widely used in the food industry for packaging snack foods, powdered products, liquids, and pastes and in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of IV bags, powder sachets, and stick packs.

Bagging is the process of packaging measured portions of a product into bags that protect it from spoilage, enable easy and safe transportation, and secure the product against tampering and pilferage. The choice of bagging equipment depends on the desired mass or volume per bag, the flow characteristics of the product, and bag construction and design. Bags vary in size from small sachets to bulk flexible containers. Bagging systems are often the last processing step that is generally integrated into a production line.

<span style="font-weight: 400">At last, you reached the final stage of processing your product - welcome to the packing world! Packing preserves and protects a product from damage, spoilage, and contamination while it makes its way from the production line to the consumer or further production. Depending on which industry your products belong to, the type of primary packaging equipment can change drastically. You need to pay careful attention to products with </span><span style="font-weight: 400">chemicals or hazardous substances since they can be potentially dangerous to human health. </span>

A beverage is any kind of liquid or drink, usually other than water, made for human consumption. Beverages are further classified into two categories: alcoholic beverages and non-alcoholic beverages. Alcoholic beverages refer to liquids that contain 1% to 75% of liquor and are produced by fermentation such as wine, beer, or distillation such as vodka, rum, tequila. Non-alcoholic beverages are drinks that don’t have any liquor such as tea, coffee, fruit juices, soft drinks, and carbonated beverages. They can be produced premix or postmix, depending on the setup of your production line.

Due to their potential hazardous nature, chemicals are classified for proper identification and safety during production. Chemical classification depends on their properties, structures and functions. In the chemical industry, you can regard them as basic chemicals such as acids, chemical products to produce plastic materials and finished chemicals for use in cosmetology. As a manufacturer or engineer, you want to know their reactivity when using chemical processing equipment.

Our food chain starts in the soil, growing crops and livestock. But between the fields and the stores, there is a line of industrial food processing equipment. Processes may be as minimalistic as cleaning fruit and as complex as homogenizing milk alternatives made from pressed legumes. In each case, processing technology is an important link in the food production chain.

Fruit pulp is a mass of pressed fresh fruit not meant for immediate consumption. Production of fruit pulp avoids wasting food and preserves the flavors and nutrient value of the fruit product. Processed fruit pulp is an ingredient in beverages, sauces, baby foods, jellies, smoothies, and bakery products.

Tradition and manufacturing procedures dictate the distinction between fruit juice, puree, and pulp. Still, naming and labeling are complex and depend on regulations, type of fruit, texture, consistency, preservation methods, and sugar or solid content (measured in Degrees Brix). Depending on your desired output, there are various fruit pulper machines for different stages of production that make the process quicker and more efficient.

Pharmaceutical developments walk side by side with health advances to provide new medicines, treatments, and therapies that have increased life quality and extended life expectancy by years. Pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment helps deliver products to a great deal of the population, but there’s a significant share that doesn’t benefit from them yet. Over 2 billion people cannot get the medicines they need, according to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, and local production might be a way to provide for these people.

Pharmaceuticals

The building blocks of matter have driven the imagination of philosophers, scientists, and artists for millennia. But, for manufacturers, these elements have a more concrete existence as powders. Powder processing technology conditions these primary materials to create a vast range of products, from chemicals and foods to pharmaceuticals and ceramics.

During the Middle Ages, sugar sweets were a delicacy only for the rich due to the high cost of sugar. Thankfully, the discovery that sugar could be extracted from sugar beets made sweets affordable for everyone. The sweet category is broad, covering chocolates, chewing gums, sugar candies, and candied/glazed products with sugar. To make these confections, sugar manufacturing equipment needs to cover different steps within the production line such as sugar dissolution, syrup cooking and cooling.
