Innovative Grinding Systems for the Food Industry at the Anuga FoodTec 2018 The area of fine-grinding has a special role within the process chain in food production, as here the product determines the technology to be used as in no other processing step. The processes of grinding basically differ depending on the required final finenesses and the material structure. Whereas when processing gelatine, it is often possible to obtain the desired fineness of around 600 µm (d97) using an Impact Mill, the Chlorella algae with final finenesses of down to approx. 7.5 µm (d50) for which demand is steadily increasing in Europe, can only be obtained using High-Density Bed Jet Mills. On the other hand, for example, when sugar is ground to obtain confectioner´s sugar, which has an average final fineness of 100 µm (d90), in this case the particular focus is on the further processing of the product. This means that the grinding systems used must be particularly reliable so as not to delay the downstream processes. To meet these diverse demands the NETZSCH…

Glatt at Anuga FoodTec 2018, hall 04.2, booth A068 At Anuga FoodTec 2018 the leading global trade fair for the food and beverage industry, plant manufacturer Glatt Ingenieurtechnik will present established processes that help manufacturers to rapidly develop marketable products. From delicious instant drinks to essential oils or vitamins for sports nutrition or dietary supplements, Glatt works closely with its customers to engineer bespoke solutions to produce product samples, scale-up processes and construct economically designed, energy efficient production facilities. According to the latest trend report from market research agency Mintel, global demand for products containing natural or health-promoting ingredients continues to rise, whereas sugar, salt and fat are still on the negative list. In addition, more and more consumers are taking a closer look at whether their favorite brands offer transparency, environmentally friendly manufacturing and a sustainable supply chain. Sophisticated processes such as fluidized…
