Food Processing Equipment/Equipment design:The complexity of the food processing and packaging equipment industryshould be seen in relation to the vast, multi-dimensional food industry. Thenumber of food products available across the world (including processed) isvery high. New food products with an estimated figure of 50,000 have been introducedin the US itself since 1983. Such is the complexity of the food processing industry. Hence,it is very difficult to give a comprehensive definition to the food processing equipmentsector. It is however understood that in todays scenario, where food processing hasbecome very important, it is imminent to understand, classify and promote the foodprocessing equipment sector, worldwide.The food processing equipment industry is even now very much predominant in thedeveloped countries. Most of the equipment manufacturers cater to the domesticmarkets. Major equipment manufacturing countries in the world are Germany, Italy,Netherlands, Denmark, US, Japan and Australia. These countries are also the majorexporters of food processing equipment. The reason for this dominance is due to thetechnology development in these countries. The contribution of the developing countriesto the world trade is negligible, the prominent reason being the non-availability oftechnology and dependence on the developed world for these technologies

Food equipment is anything that is used in the

preparation, cooking and serving of food.

That includes saucepans, chopping boards,

knives, whisks, food processors, cooker, grill, fryer

the list is endless.

of_food_equipment

The food processingequipment industry maybe grouped as

Processing machineryand equipment - Are equipments/machines generally usedin processing food according to its chronological order ofmaking the product.

Packaging machineryand equipments Are equipments/machines generally

used in making packaging solutions for food depending onthe materials being used to maintain the freshness of theproduct by covering and help in selling the said processedfood product.

Utilities Are things that supports the pre-processingto post-processing equipments that provide efficiency tothe machines effectiveness.

Examples : Universal sieving and mixing machines Sheet metal box manufacturing machines Food processing machines Dryers Other machines Components and parts

*The equipment industry is also dependent on the natureand degree of processing and also the stage of processingof food. The above grouping of the sector gives a broad

outline about the sector. Most of the technologicallyadvanced countries have categorised this sectordependingon the industries existing in these countries. Given beloware two examples of categorisation of equipment:

Manlift is a device consisting of a power driven endless belt moving in

one direction only, and provided with steps or platforms and handholds

attached to it for the transportation of personnel from floor to floor

Motorized hand trucks (pallet jacks) are classified as powered

industrial trucks

Dumpbin and blender is the part of the flour handling system where the

containers of flour are emptied

Approximately 50 percentof the packagingmachinery and materials

produced is absorbed bythe food processing sector.

As packaging becomes animportant link in the foodprocessing chain, so doesthe need for properpackaging machinery andsystems for foodprocessing.

History of Basic Appliances in Food

processing

Large Kitchen Appliances

Dishwasher

In 1850, Joel Houghton patented a wooden

machine with a hand-turned wheel that

splashed water on dishes, it was hardly aworkable machine, but it was the first patent.

Garbage Disposer

Architect, inventor John W. Hammes built his

wife the world's first kitchen garbage disposer

in 1927. After ten years of design

improvement, Hammes went into business

selling his appliance to the public. His

company was called the In-Sink-Erator

Manufacturing Company.

Ovens or Stoves

The first historical record of a stove beingbuilt refers to a stove built in 1490 in Alsace,

France.

Microwave Ovens

The microwave oven was invented by Percy L.

Spencer.

Refrigerator

Before mechanical refrigeration systems were

introduced, people cooled their food with ice

and snow, either found locally or brought

down from the mountains.

Small Kitchen Appliances

Apple Parer

On February 14, 1803, the apple parer was

patented by Moses Coates.

Blender

In 1922, Stephen Poplawski invented the

blender.

Cheese-Slicer

The cheese-slicer is a Norwegian invention.

CorkscrewsCorkscrew inventors were inspired by a tool

called the bulletscrew or gun worm, a device

that extracted stuck bullets from rifles.

Cuisinart

Carl Sontheimer invented the Cuisinart food

processor.

Green Garbage Bags

The familiar green plastic garbage bag (made

from polyethylene) was invented by Harry

Wasylyk in 1950.

Electric Kettle

Arthur Leslie Large invented the electric kettle

in 1922. General Electric introduced the

electric kettle with an automatic cut-out in

1930.

Weber Kettle Grill

George Stephen invented the original Weber

Kettle Grill in 1951.

Mason Jar

John Mason patented the screw neck bottle or

the "Mason Jar" on November 30, 1858.

Electric Mixers

The first patent that can claim to be for an

electric mixer was issued on November 17,

1885 to Rufus M. Eastman.Lillian Moller

Gilbreth(1878-1972), the mother of 12

children, also patented an electric food mixer(at a later date).

Mixmaster

Ivar Jepson invented Sunbeam Mixmaster,

which he patented in 1928, and first mass

marketed in 1930.

Paper Towels

The Scott Paper Company was founded in

Philadelphia by Irvin and Clarence Scott in

1879. Brothers Seymour and Irvin Scott ran a

paper commission business for twelve years,

but the poor economy in the 1870s forcedthem out of business. Irvin and his younger

brother, Clarence, then decided to form their

own company out of the remains of the first.

Irvin reportedly borrowed $2,000 from his

father-in-law and added it to the $300 the two

brothers had to form the capital of Scott Paper

Company. In 1907, Scott Paper introduced the

Sani-Towels paper towel, the first paper

towels. They were invented for use in

Philadelphia classrooms to help prevent the

spread of the common cold from child to

child.

Peelers

The nineteenth-century created numerous

kitchen use inventions: toasters, potato

mashers, apple/potato peelers, food choppers

and sausage stuffers were all invented. Over

185 patents for coffee grinders and over 500

patents for apple/potato peelers were patented

in the 1800s. Early peelers were made of iron

and the patent number and other information

was included in the casting. Peelers ranged

from the familiar and simple round swiveling

rod with a knife blade that peeled skin, to

contraptions full of gears and wheels that

could peel, core, slice and section. There were

separate peelers designed for different fruits

and vegetables; there were even peelers that

removed the kernels from ears of corn.

Pressure Cooker

In 1679, French physicist Denis Papin

invented the pressure cooker, called Papin's

Digester, this airtight cooker produced a hot

steam that cooked food more quickly while

preserving nutrients.

Saran Wrap

Saran polyvinylidene chloride or Saran resins

and films (called PVDC) have been wrappingproducts for more than 50 years.

Soap and Detergents

The history of soaps and detergents

Squeegee

The single blade window cleaning squeegee

was invented by Ettore Sceccone in 1936.

ToasterToasting bread began as a method of

prolonging the life of bread. It was very

common activity in Roman times, 'tostum' is

the latin word for scorching or burning.

TupperwareTupperware, plastic containers with airtight

lids, was invented by Earl Silas Tupper.

Waffle Iron

The waffle iron was patented on August 24,

1869, invented by Cornelius Swarthout of

Troy, New York. The patent (United States

#94,xxx) described the invention as a "device

to bake waffles.
