Positive consumers perceptions of high quality, taste and health value combine with ease of preparation of fresh filled pasta. In fact, the appeal of this product on nowadays consumers is based on many assets: easy and very quick to cook (from 1 to 5 minutes); long shelf life (up to 2-3 months); variety of shapes and stuffings; original recipes that combine authenticity, tradition, and regional origin; more recently, healthy options are available (variety of vegetables and fish based stuffings, wholemeal grain pasta, etc.). For these reasons consumers are willing to pay premium prices for fresh filled pasta, starting from around 4 €/kg for the bottom range products (3-4 times more than dry pasta) up to 20 €/kg, with average supermarket prices around 10 €/kg.
新鲜面食,shaping consumers needs
Cleaning in place units
Progema Engineeringis specialized in the production of CIP Units, fully automatic, tailor sized to cope with any customer’s needs either on existing and new plants of the customer. The plus of this innovative product lies in its initial project and in the modular PLC software which makes it possible to fit preassembled skids to guest either two or more tanks, one or two detergents.
UHT white milk production
TetraPakshowcases Tetra Lactenso Aseptic with OneStep technology, a practice line that incorporates UHT white milk production within a single, high-throughput process. This technology eliminates the need for pasteurisation pre-treatment and intermediate storage of raw milk. In one unbroken step, raw milk is preheated, clarified, separated, standardised and homogenised before undergoing UHT treatment and regenerative cooling. It is then transferred to two aseptic buffer tanks. This shortens processing time from as much as two days to just a few hours. In essence, the innovation of OneStep technology is that it combines heat treatment, separation and standardisation into a single step, which simplifies and accelerates the production process. In addition to shortening the time it takes to process raw milk, technology also incorporates aseptic buffering. This enables completely automated and continuous UHT operations, with fewer process steps and smaller hold-up volumes in the line.
Dry and chemical free sterilization
I
n 2012,Claranorinstall the first industrial equipment of pulsed light sterilization designed for lids. It will complete its cups and caps sterilizer range. Thus Claranor solutions can advantageously replace chemical sterilization systems for sensitive products that require ultra-clean filling environment. They present significant benefits in terms of running costs and compacity, for similar decontamination performance.
Vacuum generator
With integrated air-saving function, theOVEMvacuum generator fromFestois an energy-efficient solution. A vacuum sensor adds preventive maintenance to the vacuum system and greatly reduces the risk of machine downtime. Continuous status monitoring of the entire vacuum system is made possible thanks to an LCD with additional bar graphs. If a leak develops, either gradually or abruptly, or in the event that vacuum evacuation time becomes longer, the situation is detected automatically by the vacuum generator. This is how the vacuum generator facilitates preventive maintenance and enables users to prevent potential machine downtime. The vacuum generator and the ejector pulse are controlled by two integrated solenoid valves. Short distances and the resultant short cycle times ensure quick and reliable placing of the workpiece.
Skin thermoforming machines
TheTFS(400/500/600/700) sanitized thermoforming machines for flexible or rigid film, made byUlma Packaging,提供皮肤包装任何切的可能性ese. Its configurable structure offers total adaptability for size and packaging production. The design of the closed profile frame gives strength. The structure is in AISI 304 stainless steel with inclined surfaces to facilitate the evacuation of the wash water.
Automatic tray sealer
Vacuum Pumphas been designing and manufacturing vacuum packaging machines and shrink film packaging machines for more than 40 years and thanks to the long experience gained, it can be considered one of the leading companies in this field. Regarding vacuum packaging machines has developed a wide range of solutions for packing products into pouches and trays, with both automatic and semi-automatic units, addressed in particular to the dairy and meat industry.
Thermoforming machines
The thermoforming machinesFreedomare made of stainless steel and designed fromVeripackfor easy cleaning, to prevent the buildup of working residues and to grant durability. The possibility to use different types of films, the simple operation, the different fields of application together with easy and limited maintenance, make the form-fill-seal machine the right choice many companies. Freedom is equipped with plc and programming keyboard. Up to 99 programs can be stored, thus defining all parameters of the technological cycle (times, temperatures, vacuum level required for packages, drive pitch, chain speed and input of the various machine functions). For flexible films the user can choose between compressed air and/or vacuum forming. With rigid film compressed air is often used with plug assistance to ensure a high quality of forming. Different shaped trays can be easily and quickly obtained by simply changing the inner part of the die. This machine are manual or automatic, depending on product and quantities. The sealing plate can be designed for easy-opening of the tray.
Immersion machinery
Priamo Food Technologiesoffers “turnkey” equipment and provides complete lines for salting all types of cheese by immersion. Over the years, the company from Treviso has joined its systems for heat treatment and heat exchange with a series of automated processes, first for small plants and later for more and more important systems in the food sector. The new system plans the salting of molds by immersion inside steel salting tanks containing solutions of sodium chloride (brine) at a constant temperature, according to the technological requirements of the cheese to be treated.
Dry salting machines
Facchinettiproposes a dry salting machine in two versions: for gorgonzola and similar blue cheese; for pecorino. Both versions are made of stainless steel (including the engine) and food polyzene tested for contact with food. The version for gorgonzola is U-shaped: the infeed conveyor is parallel to that of output, allowing the machine to be single-operated.
