Food technology for the food and beverage industry
Here you will find new products and solutions for food technologists, engineers and other food technology professionals. In the field of the food industry, not only are ecological and economic resources converted into food and raw materials processed, but a high nutritional value and enjoyment value can also be achieved.
There are the following processes in food technology for the production of food ingredients: Mechanical processes like crushing, pressing, mixing; thermal processes such as heating and cooling; biological processes such as alcoholic fermentation or use of bacteria and fungi as well chemical processes how to coagulate proteins. This is implemented with specially approved machines. Drives, Machine Elements, Automation services, Materials etc. for food technology must therefore special and strict standards, regional, state or international. Food technology is next to that Medical Technology one of the industries with the highest circulation.
Brand new food technology
Below you will find components, systems and applications that washdown capable and FDA allowed are. The devices, machines and systems for processing raw materials for beverages and foodstuffs have to withstand the harsh cleaning processes.
Linear guide with lubrication and seal package
14.03.2024/XNUMX/XNUMX | On the Anuga Foodtec 2024 presents Schaeffler linear guides for food technology. Such profile rail guides are used in a variety of linear movements when processing and packaging food. An example is the four-row ball recirculating unit from the KUVE..B series.

The motor features a hardened, anodized aluminum surface and offers machine designers a cost-effective and hygienic alternative to stainless steel.
Industrial robot for the chocolate factory
At the Interpack booth of Mitsubishi Electric is all about the chocolate in a modular, open and fully integrated line. The advanced quality control of chocolate bars and their packaging will be demonstrated together with partners industrial robots.
Safety light barrier for milk and meat processing
Schmersal introduces the new Safety light barriers SLB440 series. This is particularly suitable for hygiene-sensitive applications in the packaging and food industries such as dairy farming and meat processing. A single-beam light barrier from the SLB series is very compact with a diameter of 62 mm and a height of 115 mm. They are therefore ideal for use on thermoforming machines for packaging.
Encoder compensation coupling for precise measuring tasks
When it needs to be extra precise in corrosive or special atmospheric operating conditions, you need ones designed for it Sensors and encoder reliable compensating couplings. The encoder coupling Sensorfit from Schmidt coupling meets this requirement, is resistant to high temperatures and designed for the requirements of the food industry.
Mini brewing system for your own anniversary beer
For his 75th company anniversary Jumo come up with something very special: a own anniversary beer brewed on a specially developed and manufactured highly efficient brewing system, in which the relevant for the brewing industry Jumo products are installed. The result is a golden yellow, tasty pilsner with a pleasant bitter note.
Detectable operating parts for the food industry
The new detectable keypads has Kipp for the food technology and pharmaceutical industry designed. Leave with them for contamination in the manufacturing process prevent major failures. When small splinters come loose from damaged components and get into the products, it is often the consumers who first discover the fault. Expensive product recalls are the result.
