Motion system designs run millions of automated food-manufacturing designs worldwide — including those in employed in grain milling, pasta making, and baking; fish and poultry processing; beer, wine, and spirit production; slaughtering and meatpacking; fruit, vegetable, and baby-food packaging, canning, jarring, and freezing; candy making; dairy and cheese making; and oils and fat extraction and rendering.

In this Tech Toolbox, the editors of Design World review technologies common in machinery for food manufacturing. While the software and motion programming resemble that of machines used in any number of industries, the motion components of food-manufacturing equipment sport an array of features to prioritize durability, worker safety, and prevention of contamination — whether biological or chemical.
