Today, with the advancement of technology and technology, mankind has achieved significant knowledge and progress in all sciences, and as a result, industries have undergone great changes and transformations. One of the industries that has undergone extensive changes in the last few decades is the food industry. These changes have spread so much that not only the old methods of food production have given way to food industry machines, but we are also witnessing significant improvements in the construction of machines in this industry day by day. p>
Food industry is a global and complex network of various businesses that provides the most food consumed by the entire world population. This industry is considered as the largest and most active industry in the world. For this reason, a set of industrial activities that are involved in the production, distribution, conversion, preparation, storage, transportation, certification, processing and packaging of food is called food industry.
To set up a food manufacturing plant, it is necessary to go through a series of steps; Including:
Study about the place of implementation of the plan
At this stage, it is necessary to address issues such as; Where the factory will be built and how close it is to raw and important materials, pay attention and get the necessary information.
How to transport produced food
Another step in setting up a food factory is to pay attention to the distance of food transportation. For this reason, the necessary care and attention should be used in choosing the distance from the food production factory to the place of storage of the produced products so that the distance is the least and the food products are not damaged.
Close to main roads and gas transmission lines
One of the points that all factories should pay attention to before starting up; It is that the food factories are close to the main roads and gas transmission lines; Because factories have facilities and equipment such as; They need electricity, gas, water and telephone.
Paying attention to the sewage system and the green space of the factory
Another important step during the construction of the factory is to pay attention to the sewage system of the factory and how it should be managed to avoid harming the environment. do not On the other hand, the food factory must have a suitable green space. For this reason, the area intended for the construction of the factory must be large enough so that a part of it can be used for green space.
Introduction of food industry machinery
In general, in the food industry, a wide range of food industry machines are used, and in this article, we briefly mention a general division of them.
Blanche device
This device is used for the pasteurization of fruits and vegetables in industries such as jam making, compote making, etc. The blanching machine destroys natural enzymes.
Detailing device, corer and peeler
This part of food industry machinery is used for peeling, pitting, etc. in jam, compote, olive oil and other food industries.
Cut and Slicer
As their name suggests, these machines are used to chop food and fruits. The most important application of this type of food industry machinery is in chips production factories.
washing and sorting machine
Another more practical device in the food industry is the washing and sorting device. This process helps to organize and categorize products based on different parameters and is used in most food industries.
Crusher, grinder and mixer
This type of food industry machinery is used in food industry factories to powder and crush materials based on the desired product.
dryer or dryers
Some food factories use an industrial drying machine to dry the desired food.
Pasteurizer and sterilizer device
This type of food industry machinery is used for sterilization and pasteurization in the food industry, especially in the dairy industry.
Separator device
This device has various applications as a separator in different food industries. The separator is used in the dairy industry as a cream separator or in the meat products factories to separate the meat from the cartilage and bones.
Cooking machine
One of the most important food industry machines used in factories is the cooking machine. This device includes ovens used in bread and bulk materials industries, steam boilers in canning industries, etc.
