Integrating Automation in Food Processing Solutions

It is possible to bridge the gap between mixing and forming food products by reducing waste and energy consumption in food processing technology.

FREMONT, CA: Modern consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the industry's impact on the planet, so manufacturers are under increasing pressure to reduce emissions and waste generated by their machines and production processes. Consumers ultimately dictate this – so it's more important than ever. There has been considerable progress in reducing emissions and carbon footprints across the industry, but some manufacturers have encountered difficulty implementing these ideas in automated food processing while maintaining quality.

By reducing energy consumption while also eliminating hygienic risks associated with manual operations, companies can eliminate hygienic risks associated with manual operations.

Quality: Preparing food like nuggets has always been done in batches, while the final process, beginning with the forming, has always been automated, in line. It improves product quality, reduces labor and human error, improves process control, and reduces carbon footprint, making it the missing link between mixing and forming. It is designed for global food manufacturers, innovative processors, and medium-to-large-scale producers to increase their capacity, quality, and applications for meat replacements.

Customer feedback: It reduces the amount of cold room space to be maintained, cleaned, and power, as well as water, cleaning chemicals, and waste, and guarantees a consistent product, along with additional benefits for food safety. By investing in its technology, you can also save a significant amount of money. Direct savings on operator costs appeal to many – not just because operators save money on their day, evening, and night shifts – but also because finding workers willing to work in such a way is a huge challenge in many places today. Using CO2 or N2, operators can precisely cool to the required temperature and viscosity and adjust the settings downstream of your forming machine and thermal equipment. This may result in significant savings and process benefits, such as forming with fewer giveaways and better consistency, coating with fewer doubles, cooking without overcooking and maximizing yield, frying with optimal loading, and freezing with less energy. When your product throughput is consistent, your heat and cooling processes can be more efficient, leading to lower energy consumption and less giveaway during forming.
