Food processing plants use various machines such as slicers, shredders, peelers, seaming machines, metal detectors, screw capping devices, tray wrapping machines, meat and poultry dicers, can openers, crushers, extractors, presses, lettuce choppers, chip slicers, and peanut butter mills.
Numerous types of food processing machines and beverage processing equipment are used in food processing plants. Some of the equipment used for food processing are slicers, shredders and pumps. Peelers, used to peel fruits and vegetables, are another type of food processing machinery. Seaming machines used to close and seal cans are another type of equipment. Metal detectors are often considered to be another variant of food processing equipment used in industry.
Food processing machines can consist of equipment that seals and secures cans and jars. One such piece is called a screw capping device. These fixtures secure bottle caps to beverage or other containers.
Tray wrapping machines are used in food processing plants. This equipment mainly wraps cling film around food. Most of these machines are used with another piece of equipment called an extruder or wrapping tunnel, which helps feed the wrapper through the machine.
Industrial food processing machines, such as meat and poultry dicers, are used for large-volume cutting and dicing. These are often used for dicing small pieces of meat for items such as canned stews and soups. Safety regulations and other policies aimed at preventing the risk of cross-contamination mean that dicing machines for meat must be kept separate from those intended for poultry or seafood.
Industrial-sized can openers are a type of food processing machinery used in nearly all food processing plants. Can crushers are a kind of equipment that can minimize the space of discarded aluminum cans. Can extractors are another type of food processing machines.
Juice extractors are a common food processing equipment used to extract fruit juice, which can be used for fruit juices. Vegetable extractors are a variant of this type of machine used for vegetables. A juice or vegetable press can be used in food processing plants to separate the pulp from certain fruits or vegetables.
Many miscellaneous pieces of food processing equipment are used in everyday production and manufacturing. One of these machines is the lettuce chopper, used to make salads or vegetable mixes. Chip slicers slice potatoes evenly and to the right texture before they are packaged in bags. Whole peanuts will be fed through a machine known as a peanut butter mill, which is used for making peanut butter.
