This machine uses rotating blades or paddles to combine ingredients uniformly in large-scale food production.
What is a food mixer?
Industrial ovens are used to apply controlled heat for processes like drying, curing, or this common baking process.
What is baking?
Liquid nitrogen freezers rapidly freeze food by lowering the temperature to around this ultra-low value.
What is –196°C?
The primary function of a vacuum packing machine is to remove this gas from the package.
What is air?
This type of machine packages food products in a continuous, horizontal format.
What is a horizontal flow pack machine?
In food mixers, this process involves breaking down fat and liquid particles to form a stable mixture, which is crucial in making products like mayonnaise.
What is emulsification?
This type of oven processes materials in individual batches, making it ideal for small-scale production.
What is a batch oven?
Rapid freezing in these freezers helps prevent the formation of these damaging structures in the product.
What are large ice crystals?
Removing air from packaging helps limit the growth of these oxygen-dependent microorganisms.
What are aerobic bacteria?
The process starts by unwinding a roll of this type of film, which is food-grade and flexible.
What is food-grade packaging film?
Food mixers are used in bakeries to ensure uniform texture and aeration in dough for this product.
What is bread?
Ovens that incorporate a conveyor system for continuous production are known by this name.
What are conveyor (or continuous) ovens?
By minimizing cell damage during freezing, liquid nitrogen freezers help maintain the sensory and nutritional qualities of food at this level.
What is quality preservation?
After food items are loaded into the packaging, this component evacuates air from the package.
What is a vacuum pump?
After the food product is deposited into the film, it is sealed around the product using either heat sealing or this alternative method.
What is ultrasonic sealing?
In addition to mixing, these plants often perform heat treatment processes—such as pasteurization—to ensure food safety.
What is heat treatment?
In electronics manufacturing, industrial ovens are used for soldering components onto circuit boards using this reflow process.
What is reflow soldering?
To ensure even cooling, these freezers often incorporate a system that circulates cold air throughout the chamber.
What is forced-air circulation?
Once air is removed, this process permanently seals the package to protect the food.
What is heat sealing?
The continuous film tube is eventually divided into individual packages by this process.
What is cutting?
According to the HACCP analysis, one preventive measure for chemical hazards in food mixers is the use of this type of lubricant.
What is a food-grade lubricant?
A key operational feature of industrial ovens is the maintenance of uniform temperature distribution, often aided by these devices.
What are fans?
Safety mechanisms in liquid nitrogen freezers include oxygen monitors and proper ventilation to prevent this dangerous phenomenon.
What is oxygen displacement?
Automated vacuum packing machines use these types of controllers to monitor and adjust vacuum levels and sealing temperatures.
What are programmable controllers?
Some horizontal flow pack machines feature this process, which flushes the package with a protective gas like N₂ or a N₂/CO₂ mixture.
What is gas flushing?
