Through the resources at this pilot plant at UMaine, Orono, innovative development of ways to process, package and distribute food to reach larger markets, will enable Maine's agriculture and aquaculture industries to grow.
Rob will show some examples of products from the equipment via photos from previous operations. Also part of the presentation are details on Combi oven technology, Lyophilisers (freeze-driers), Smokehouse, Cheese Vat and Press, DeSinewer, and Pasta Extruders.
