Food & Confectionery Processing Equipment
Particle size plays a crucial role in food and confectionery processing, influencing the solubility, flowability, texture, and mouthfeel of the final products. This makes it a key factor in determining consumers’ perception of the food or beverage overall. In particular, ingredients such as coffee, sugar, salt, flour, chocolate, milk powder, spices, and various flavors rely heavily on precise particle size and size distribution, since texture is closely tied to taste. The particle size reduction process can be a lengthy one, so optimizing this process offers the potential for both cost savings and better product quality for businesses in the food and beverage industry.
