This text covers the design of food processing equipment based on key unit operations, such as heating, cooling, and drying. In addition, mechanical processing operations such as separations, transport, storage, and packaging of food materials, as well as an introduction to food processes and food processing plants are discussed. Handbook of Food Processing Equipment is an essential reference for food engineers and food technologists working in the food process industries, as well as for designers of process plants. The book also serves as a basic reference for food process engineering students.The chapters cover engineering and economic issues for all important steps in food processing. This research is based on the physical properties of food, the analytical expressions of transport phenomena, and the description of typical equipment used in food processing. Illustrations that explain the structure and operation of industrial food processing equipment are presented. style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">The materials of construction and fabrication of food processing equipment are covered here, as well as the selection of the appropriate equipment for various food processing operations. Mechanical processing equipment such as size reduction, size enlargement, homogenization, and mixing are discussed. Mechanical separations equipment such as filters, centrifuges, presses, and solids/air systems, plus equipment for industrial food processing such as heat transfer, evaporation, dehydration, refrigeration, freezing, thermal processing, and dehydration, are presented. Equipment for novel food processes such as high pressure processing, are discussed. The appendices include conversion of units, selected thermophysical properties, plant utilities, and an extensive list of manufacturers and suppliers of food equipment.

Handbook of Agricultural and Farm Machinery, Third Edition, is the essential reference for understanding the food industry, from farm machinery, to dairy processing, food storage facilities and the machinery that processes and packages foods. Effective and efficient food delivery systems are built around processes that maximize efforts while minimizing cost and time. This comprehensive reference is for engineers who design and build machinery and processing equipment, shipping containers, and packaging and storage equipment. It includes coverage of microwave vacuum applications in grain processing, cacao processing, fruit and vegetable processing, ohmic heating of meat, facility design, closures for glass containers, double seaming, and more. The book's chapters include an excellent overview of food engineering, but also regulation and safety information, machinery design for the various stages of food production, from tillage, to processing and packaging. Each chapter includes the state-of-the art in technology for each subject and numerous illustrations, tables and references to guide the reader through key concepts. - Describes the latest breakthroughs in food production machinery - Features new chapters on engineering properties of food materials, UAS applications, and microwave processing of foods - Provides efficient access to fundamental information and presents real-world applications - Includes design of machinery and facilities as well as theoretical bases for determining and predicting behavior of foods as they are handled and processed

Finally, a comprehensive book about packaging machinery. The Packaging Machinery Handbook is the first book covering the range of packaging machinery in common use. It includes chapters on filling, capping, labeling, cartoning, inspecting and more. The chapter on packaging line design provides a framework for developing a new packaging line from initial idea to production. More than 120 illustrations allow readers to see inside the machines and what makes them tick. A companion website at www.packmachbook.com includes links to hundreds of videos of these machines in action. The book is designed for the newcomer who wants to learn about machinery, for the package designer who needs to understand how their package will be produced and for the seasoned professional who wants a handy reference. What the experts are saying: Experience is the best teacher. But if you can't wait 10 years and don't want to learn the hard way, read John Henry's Packaging Machinery Handbook Through a fast-moving conversational writing style - from big-picture "here's why it's done" to nitty-gritty "here's how it's done" - John transfers his extensive packaging knowledge nearly as effortlessly as a Vulcan mind-meld. Lisa McTigue Pierce, packaging journalist since 1982 From his wealth of practical experience, John has put together a great resource for anyone who is thinking about buying a piece of packaging machinery or who is engaged in putting together a packaging operation. It will help even the most seasoned veterans avoid some common pitfalls. Larry Luciano, President, Luciano Packaging Technology John Henry's Packaging Machinery Handbook will be the definitive work he day it is published. This is the book we in the field will reach for when we need insight into packaging machinery. His technical integrity gives us a book of great utility.This book is first rate and badly needed. Bravo to John Henry! Iver Phallen, President, Oden Corporation

The first edition of Food processing technology was quickly adopted as the standard text by many food science and technology courses. This completely revised and updated third edition consolidates the position of this textbook as the best single-volume introduction to food manufacturing technologies available. This edition has been updated and extended to include the many developments that have taken place since the second edition was published. In particular, advances in microprocessor control of equipment, 'minimal' processing technologies, functional foods, developments in 'active' or 'intelligent' packaging, and storage and distribution logistics are described. Technologies that relate to cost savings, environmental improvement or enhanced product quality are highlighted. Additionally, sections in each chapter on the impact of processing on food-borne micro-organisms are included for the first time. - Introduces a range of processing techniques that are used in food manufacturing - Explains the key principles of each process, including the equipment used and the effects of processing on micro-organisms that contaminate foods - Describes post-processing operations, including packaging and distribution logistics
