FOOD PREPARATION EQUIPMENT
➤ Are employed to reduce, enlarge, homogenize, or otherwise change the physical form of solid, semi- solid, and liquid food matter.
MECHANICAL PROCESSING EQUIPMENT
➤ Can cause not only physical changes in the food material, but chemical, biochemical, and biological changes as well.
HEAT PROCESSING EQUIPMENT
➤Aims to prevent or inhibit the spoilage and increase the shelf life of food products.
PRESERVATION EQUIPMENT
➤ Available in several forms like boxes, jars, battles, cans, etc.
PACKAGING EQUIPMENT
