Food Processing, Canning & Packing Machinery

Food processing includes the methods and techniques used to transform raw ingredients into food for human consumption. Canning and packaging machinery are used to package and preserve processed food.

Food processing, canning & packing machinery and equipment covers a broad range of food processing equipment, packaging & weighing equipment, inspection systems, product handling equipment, and seasoning & coating systems. Food processing equipment is used to prepare and cook meat, poultry, seafood, vegetables and baked goods and can include fryers, ovens, branders and searers, breading machines and batter applicators.

Food packaging equipment is available in a number of different types, including canning machines, weighers, snack bag makers, tray sealers, fillers, vacuum packaging and seasoning systems. Vacuum packaging, which is also known as ‘cryovac-ing’, is used to preserve the fresh or processed food product’s appearance and quality. Cryovac packaging is particularly popular for all types of meat and seafood products.

Packaging equipment is often used in conjunction with combination weighers which can accurately fill bags, pouches, cans, jars, cartons, cases, bottles and trays with a wide variety of fresh, processed and frozen foods. Inspection and control systems include check weights, metal detectors for food, metal detectors, check seals and x-ray inspection systems.
