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.
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_th_definition_
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.
