🔁 Production Process Flow
Raw Material Preparation
Fresh chicken pieces are cleaned, trimmed, and weighed. Ingredients like vegetables, seasonings, or herbs are prepared simultaneously.Blanching and Precooking
Steam blanching removes impurities and excess fat from chicken meat while maintaining texture and tenderness.Soup Base Cooking & Mixing
Soup is prepared in steam-jacketed kettles or automatic soup cookers, ensuring uniform taste and temperature control.Filling and Ingredient Loading
Automatic filling machines portion solid chicken pieces first, followed by liquid soup base. High-precision dosing ensures accuracy for every can or jar.Seaming / Capping
Vacuum seamer or capping machine seals the containers hermetically to prevent contamination.Sterilization (Retort Process)
Cans or jars are sterilized in high-temperature retorts (autoclaves) to destroy microorganisms and extend shelf life.Cooling, Labeling & Packaging
Rapid cooling retains soup flavor and quality. Automatic labeling and date coding prepare the final retail-ready packaging.
