It’s time to discuss the importance of healthy eating and the advancements in food production that make nutritious options more accessible. At MTC, we are dedicated to enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of food production through state-of-the-art food-handling equipment. Our innovations play a significant role in ensuring that healthy food reaches family tables.
Stages of the Fresh Food Journey
The food journey from farm to table involves multiple stages, including harvesting, processing, packaging, and distribution. Each step requires precision and efficiency to maintain the quality and nutritional value of the produce. Processing is where our advanced food-handling equipment becomes part of the journey.
Over the past few decades, modern machinery, equipped with cutting-edge technology, has changed traditional agricultural practices. Automated harvesters, for example, can quickly and gently collect fruits and vegetables, minimizing damage and reducing the number of manual laborers needed. The equipment speed helps the produce retain its freshness and nutritional content.
Processing equipment also plays a vital role in preserving the health benefits of food, such as Breakers used in conjunction with IQF (Individual Quick Freeze). IQF allows for the rapid freezing of individual pieces of food, ensuring that each piece retains its nutritional value, texture, and taste.
Our Breaking Equipment includes innovative solutions designed to complement IQF technology by breaking up frozen clusters of food without damaging the individual pieces. This ensures that frozen products maintain their quality and are easy for the consumer to use. For more information about the advantages of IQF and our Cluster Breaker, check out our recent article.
Choices of Food Handling Equipment for Processing
At MTC, we offer a wide range of food processing equipment designed to enhance efficiency and safety in food production. Our product lineup includes:
- Blending Equipment: State-of-the-art blenders with unique designs and stainless-steel construction for consistent and high-quality blending.
- Breaking Equipment: Built-to-last breakers that provide high yields on a consistent basis.
- Conveying Equipment: High-performance conveyors designed to move products efficiently.
- Cooking Equipment: Highly customizable cookers for a wide variety of products.
- Dumping Equipment: Heavy-duty dumpers that meet strict food safety standards.
- Lifting Equipment: High-quality devices for hand-picking and loading operations.
Innovative Food Packaging Solutions Means Efficiency
Packaging is another critical aspect of food production where machinery has made significant strides. Vacuum sealing machines, for example, remove air from packaging to prevent oxidation and spoilage, keeping food fresh for longer periods. Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) technology, introduced in the 1960s, adjusts the gas composition inside the package, further extending the shelf life of perishable items.
We don’t design packaging solutions, however our machinery can support the process with our MTC dumpers and conveyors.
Empowering Consumers with Healthy Choices through Efficient Distribution
Efficient distribution is essential to ensure that healthy food reaches consumers in a timely manner. Advanced logistics and handling machinery streamline the transportation process, reducing delays and maintaining the quality of perishable goods. Cold chain technology, for example, ensures that temperature-sensitive items are kept at optimal conditions throughout their journey.
While our equipment doesn’t touch every aspect of food production, we are strongly committed to driving innovation and sustainability in the food industry. Together, we can make nutritious food accessible to all, supporting healthier lifestyles and a brighter future for generations.
