Food Processing Industry

The importance of gears in the food processing industry can be ascertained from the fact that the power transmission industry of which gears are an integral part provides to the tune of $750 million annually in terms of products to food and beverage producers in United States of America.


The entire line of Gear Assembly that includes Speed reducers, open gearing, couplings and shafts are a part and parcel of the food processing industry. Here are given few of the core areas of food processing industry where the gears are needed:

• Beverages : Brewing of beer, bottling of soft drinks, or for that matter packaging an energy drink, Speed reducers are there at work.
  
  
• Bakery And Snack : Snack makers around the world use Speed reducers in their plants. These are applied in conveyors, driving, mixers etc.

Gear Pumps
Internal Gear pumps are very suitable for the Food processing plants. A wide variety of food items are produced by using the internal gear pumps. The internal pumps that are used in the food processing industry are judged on the following parameters:

• Metal construction to reduce the chances of contamination.
• Choice of various speed ratios, enabling the internal gear pumps to handle viscous products.
