Industry Background
The baking and rice noodle/pasta industries have been experiencing rapid growth in recent years, with continuously expanding market sizes. With the upgrading of consumption, consumers have higher demands for the taste, healthiness, and innovation of products such as bread, cakes, rice noodles, and pasta. New business formats such as new retail, chain baking, and pre-made rice noodles/pasta are constantly emerging, driving companies to accelerate product development and process upgrades.
Facing the diverse market demands, production enterprises need not only to achieve efficient and stable mass production but also to have the ability to flexibly switch between multiple product categories and recipes. Automated and intelligent production lines have become key to improving efficiency, ensuring quality, and reducing labor costs. High standards for food safety and hygiene also prompt equipment to develop towards easy cleaning, easy maintenance, and full-process traceability.
Main Equipment Introduction
Pain Points & Solutions
Common Pain Points
- → Unstable Product Quality (Manual and semi-automated operations lead to variations in taste, size, and appearance, making it difficult to ensure brand consistency.)
- → High Labor Costs & Skilled Worker Shortage (Skilled workers are expensive and have high turnover rates, and production is overly reliant on manual experience.)
- → Low Production Efficiency (Traditional production lines have limited capacity and cannot meet the demands of large-scale orders or peak seasons.)
- → Food Safety and Hygiene Risks (Flour dust, dough residue, and increased manual contact increase the risk of cross-contamination.)
- → Lack of Production Line Flexibility (A single production line struggles to handle different products such as bread, pastries, cereals, and noodles.)
- → High Energy Consumption and Operating Costs (Ovens, steam, and drying processes consume significant energy, increasing long-term operational burdens.)
- → Complex Equipment Maintenance and High Downtime (Frequent breakdowns and complex structures affect production schedules and delivery cycles.)
Our Solutions
- → Intelligent Automated Quality Control (PLC precisely controls ratios, fermentation, and baking curves to ensure batch consistency.)
- → Fully Automated Production Process (Automatic mixing, dividing, proofing, baking, and packaging reduce reliance on manual labor.)
- → High-Efficiency Capacity Expansion (Continuous tunnel ovens, high-speed dividers, and high-capacity packaging lines significantly increase efficiency.)
- → Food-Grade Design and CIP Cleaning (Stainless steel materials with CIP cleaning, meeting HACCP, ISO22000, and FDA standards.)
- → Modular and Multi-Functional Equipment (Interchangeable molds, cutting tools, and recipe programs enable multi-category processing.)
- → Energy-Saving and Environmental Protection Systems (Equipped with heat recovery, optimized airflow design, and intelligent energy management to reduce energy consumption.)
- → Easy Maintenance and Predictive Maintenance (Modular structure design with easily replaceable parts, combined with predictive maintenance systems to reduce downtime.)
Multi-Product Line Solution
- → A single production line can handle multiple categories such as bread, cakes, rice noodles, and pasta, with flexible switching of process parameters.
- → High degree of automation reduces manual intervention, enhancing production efficiency and consistency.
- → Supports a variety of flours, recipes, and additives to meet diverse market demands.
- → Modular design facilitates expansion and maintenance, adapting to different production scales.
- → Smart monitoring system provides real-time insights into production status and ensures food safety.
- → Easy-to-clean equipment meets international food hygiene standards.
