Key Purchasing Considerations for Used Food Processing Machinery

• Material and Sanitary Design: Ensure all product-contact surfaces are made of food-grade stainless steel (typically 304 or 316L) and the machine is designed for easy cleaning and sanitation (CIP-capable if applicable).
• Production Capacity: Verify that the machine's throughput (e.g., kg/hour or pieces/minute) meets your production targets.
• Condition of Wear Parts: Inspect components like blades, seals, gaskets, and conveyor belts, as they often require regular replacement and can be costly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Food Equipment

What is the difference between a planetary mixer and a spiral mixer?

A planetary mixer has an agitator that rotates on an offset shaft while the bowl remains stationary, making it versatile for mixing a variety of products like batters, creams, and doughs. A spiral mixer has a rotating spiral hook and a rotating bowl, which is ideal for gently developing gluten in bread doughs, resulting in a superior texture.

How do I ensure a used machine is safe for food production?

Request documentation on the machine's previous use to avoid allergen cross-contamination. Thoroughly inspect all surfaces for cracks or crevices where bacteria could grow. It's essential to have the machine professionally cleaned and sanitized before putting it into service in your facility.
