Abstract
The present global scenario of energy crisis has forced food processing industry to become more energy conscious. With liberalisation of industrial policy, the food processing industry is facing challenges both in terms of quality and plant performance. As operations performed in food processing plants especially in snack processing line are quite energy intensive, the check on energy usage is in priority concern. Engineering services in food plants is considered as the area where simple plant optimization measures can lead to substantial and almost immediate savings. In snack processing line, electricity was the main energy utilized for operation of machineries, such as prime movers and lighting while the thermal energy was used for frying of snacks.
