As an old employee who has been working on the production line for more than ten years, I have witnessed four iterations of automatic packaging machines for bakery. I remember that the earliest customers always complained that traditional equipment was "stubborn" and would go on strike when they encountered products with holes in the middle, such as bagels. Now our equipment is equipped with an intelligent recognition system. Not to mention bagels, twisted doughnuts and other special-shaped breads, even donuts sprinkled with icing can be wrapped with packaging film.
The most proud thing about this bakery automatic packaging machine is the change it has brought to small and medium-sized bakeries. In the past, many shop owners thought that automated equipment was a "toy for big companies" until they saw the solution we made for a husband-and-wife shop in Hebei Province - three machines replaced six packers, saving more than half of the labor costs every day. Not to mention that when the machine starts working at four in the morning, it is much more energetic than people, and there will be no leakage of the seal.
Last month, the young people in the technical department came up with a new function. Now this bakery automatic packaging machine can "learn" the expansion coefficient of different doughs by itself, and can automatically adjust the packaging size when encountering whole wheat bread and Japanese soft buns. Some customers reported that they had to reserve 3% of packaging loss when using old equipment before, but now this number is directly reduced to zero. Although the specific data is not convenient to disclose, looking at the recent surge in orders from the purchasing department, we can see how much the market recognizes our innovation.
Some colleagues may ask: There are so many similar equipment on the market, why are our bakery automatic packaging machines so popular? When I accompanied the sales to Shanghai last week, I heard a very vivid metaphor - a Taiwanese baker said that our equipment is like a "thinking packager", not only is it quick and skillful, but it can also change its techniques according to the characteristics of the product. This sounds exaggerated, but it does make sense when you think about it. After all, we have equipped each machine with an environmental sensing module. When the temperature and humidity in the workshop change, the sealing parameters will be automatically fine-tuned, which is a unique skill that other companies do not have.
These two days, the factory is debugging orders sent to Southeast Asia, and has specially made moisture-proof upgrades for tropical climates. Looking at these bakery automatic packaging machines that are about to travel across the ocean, I suddenly remembered the days when I followed the master to repair the first generation of packaging machines 20 years ago. Who would have thought at that time that food machinery made in China would one day become a star product at an international baking exhibition?
From kneading dough to packaging, intelligence is reshaping the entire baking industry chain. Our factory has been convinced of one principle over the years: good equipment should not be a cold piece of iron, but should be as precise and flexible as the craftsmanship of a master craftsman. If you are also worried about packaging efficiency, you may want to visit the workshop and see how our bakery automatic packaging machine can make each piece of dough wear a "custom coat". Who knows, next month, your kitchen will have fewer guys working overtime and more tireless "mechanical bakers"!
