Short description: The subject concerns principles of technology, materials used in the construction of machines and equipment used in the food industry, basic calculations in the field of mechanics and strength of materials and flow of fluids, machine parts, compression machines, fundamentals of electrical engineering, as well as measurement devices.
Full description: Content of the course unit covers basic technical issues including the proper use of physical units. Attention is paid to the proper selection of materials used in the construction of machinery and equipment in the food industry. This is achieved by presenting basic calculations in the field of technical mechanics and strength of materials as well as discussion on joint systems and machine parts in terms of classification, design and purpose. Particular emphasis is placed on training covering the basics of electrical engineering and the principles of safe use of electrical machines. The theory of flow is considered in relation to compression machines and pumps. An important item is to teach the proper operation of equipment used to measure the basic physical quantities occurring in the processing and storage of food.
