A method of producing a bioproduct from a sea cucumber wherein the steps of weighing the sea cucumbers, cleaning the sea cucumber, and milling the sea cucumber in a milling machine for creating a sea cucumber pulp may be performed. Further, the processing of the sea cucumber pulp in a multi-step hydrolysis membrane reactor may be completed for the formation of an unfiltered bioproduct. Such a product may need filtering through an ultrafiltration membrane system to obtain a filtered bioproduct. Followed by inactivation of the protease to create a filtered bioproduct, to which drying may then be needed. The final step may be the application of the filtered bioproduct to a relevant industrial use may be described herein.

An emulsion system is provided. The system includes a shaft that supports a plurality of cutting assemblies and plates in alternating order, wherein the cutting assembly rotates with respect to an in close proximity to the plate. The plurality of cutting plates each on their circumferential edge have an identification system to memorialize the diameter of the emulsion holes.

A mincing drum for a cutting and separating device, at the first end section of which there is an inlet opening and at the second end section of which there is an outlet opening, a plurality of cutting openings being arranged in a pressure housing section of the mincing drum and passing continuously through the pressure housing section from an inner wall to an outer wall, each cutting opening having, on the inner wall, a cutting opening edge facing the outlet opening and a drawing-in opening edge facing the inlet opening. The cutting performance of the cutting and separating device and the quality of the desired food component is significantly improved as a feed channel which is recessed relative to the inner wall is situated between the cutting opening edge and the drawing-in opening edge.

A rotor is shown with an asymmetrical structure for a pump, wherein the rotor includes at least one cutting edge and at least one rounded edge, as well as the pump as such including one or more rotor(s). The rotor (1) has a first circular element (4) where a material-moving cavity (5) is provided in the first circular element (4).

A shredding drum for a cutting and separating device, including a pressure housing, on a first end portion of which an inlet opening is formed and on a second end portion of which an outlet opening is formed, wherein a multiplicity of cutting openings are arranged in a pressure housing portion of the pressure housing and pass right through the pressure housing portion from an inner wall to an outer wall, wherein the cutting openings are oriented with hole axes inclined at an angle (α.sub.O1, α.sub.O2) in relation to the inner wall. The underlying object was therefore to improve a shredding drum in such a way that the cutting performance of the cutting and separating device and the quality of the desired food ingredient are significantly improved. The object is achieved in that the inclination of the hole axes being chosen such that they are facing the inlet opening on the inner wall.

A food processing device includes a feeding structure arranged for the transport of food objects downstream from an inlet to an outflow of a flow path. The feeding structure has a first feeder with a transport auger arranged upstream a knife, and a second feeder arranged downstream a knife, a knife configured to cut the food objects in the flow path to provide a substance of sliced lumps. The flow path defines an unhindered passage between the knife and the outflow to facilitate a free flow of the substance of sliced lumps away from the knife. An inspection unit is configured to detect undesired objects in the substance of sliced lumps. The food object could be meat, fruit, or vegetables. The processing device provides an unhindered flow of the sliced lumps away from the knife, facilitating an easier inspection and removal of undesired objects from the lumps.

A cutting device, a separator and a method for separating food components using a separator compensates the effects which an increasing wear on a cutting tool arranged on a rotating body have on comminuting a foodstuff by movably arranging the cutting tool on the rotating body.

An emulsion system is provided. The system includes a shaft that supports a plurality of cutting assemblies and screens in alternating order, wherein the cutting assembly rotates with respect to an in close proximity to the screen. The cutting assemblies include a plurality of cutting elements that extend radially outward from a hub and are positioned at consistent radial spacing along the perimeter of the hub. Each cutting element includes front and back edges that cut food particles in conjunction with holes within the screen, wherein the front and back edges are substantially perpendicular.

A crushing machine for a vegetable food product frozen in blocks, or in IQF form, the machine having a box-like body defining a crushing chamber. The box-like body has an inlet port through which the frozen food product is put in the crushing chamber, and an outlet port through which a frozen crushed product is discharged from the crushing chamber. In the crushing chamber a crushing unit is mounted, having a plurality of crushing rollers, each of which is arranged to rotate about a rotation axis and has, peripherally, teeth arranged to cut the frozen product into blocks, or IQF form, for splitting it into the above described fragments of predetermined size. The rotation axes of the crushing rollers are parallel to each other. The outlet port is associated with a distribution valve arranged to adjust the amount of crushed product discharged from the machine through the outlet port.

A system for forming all variants of hamburger steaks, without being dedicated to a single variant, from a mass of meat comprises a mold including at least one cavity for forming hamburger steak, a channel for supplying the meat mass to the mold, and an element for forming an interface between the channel for supplying the meat mass and the mold. The element for forming an interface includes a pipe length having a first end connected to an outlet of the channel for supplying the meat mass and an opposite second end connected to an inlet of the mold, a grinding plate, and edges for holding the grinding plate in a cross section of the pipe length, the edges for holding the grinding plate being discretely distributed along the pipe length.
