Many old customers have come to visit the factory, and they always like to point to the row of silver-white equipment in the workshop and ask: "Is this the 'packaging artifact' you are talking about?" Yes, this is the third-generation automatic packaging machine for bakery developed by our factory for equipment upgrade in the baking industry. Just last month, this equipment was installed for a popular bakery in Hangzhou. Their chef joked: "In the past, it took the apprentice time to wrap ten dirty buns, but now the machine can wrap three plates without rubbing the chocolate powder!"
Pain points become desserts, and special-shaped bread is no longer "naked"
After 20 years of equipment debugging, I know the hardship of bakeries best - baguettes with pointed ends, twisted dough sticks, and bagels with hollow middles. When these special-shaped breads are placed on traditional equipment, the seals may be crooked at best, or the machine may be jammed and stopped. Our factory's automatic bakery packaging machine just competes with these "thorns". Last year, when debugging a time-honored brand in Xi'an, their master brought twisted dough sticks to "challenge", and the machine recognized, adjusted, and packaged them in one go. The master stared at the outlet for five minutes.
The secret lies in the visual system that can "think". Unlike the old equipment that sticks to fixed parameters, our automatic bakery packaging machine can judge the curvature of bread like the human eye. When encountering products with layers such as croissants, it automatically switches to spiral wrapping to ensure that the puff pastry does not fall off. Some customers have reported that since they switched to our equipment, creative products that were originally packaged manually can now be automated.
Save manpower and worry, the kitchen is no longer in chaos at 4 a.m.
I remember that last year, we provided a food packaging solution for a chain store in Guangdong. Their manager did a calculation: 20 branches had to work three shifts just in the early morning, and they had to add people temporarily during the peak season. Since the deployment of our automatic bakery packaging machine, now only one inspector is left on the night shift, and the machine can complete the entire process from material sorting to coding.
What makes the baking masters even more comfortable is that this equipment "understands" the temper of bread. For example, when whole wheat bread is just out of the oven, the surface humidity is high, and ordinary packaging machines easily cause the film to stick together, but our machine can adjust the heat sealing temperature according to the real-time temperature and humidity. When I visited a customer last month, a baker pulled me aside and said, "Your machine is much more reliable than the new apprentice. At least it won't seal the toast into 'vacuum compressed biscuits' because of sleepiness!"
From the workshop to the kitchen, intelligence is not cold
Customers often ask, "Will the optimization of intelligent production lines make the kitchen lose its human touch?" What our debugging team is most proud of is that the automatic packaging machine for bakeries retains the precision of machinery and adds the delicacy of a master. For example, according to the needs of different stores, the equipment can memorize more than ten packaging modes, and switching is as smooth as changing a rolling pin.
The energy-saving mode that has just been developed recently is even more eye-catching for small and medium-sized bakeries. Traditional equipment consumes electricity as usual when idling, but our machine can "take a breath" like a human, and the energy consumption in standby mode drops by 70%. Although the specific data is not convenient to disclose, looking at the number of additional orders added by buyers when repurchasing, you can see how much this function touches the hearts of bakery bosses.
Your pain point, our starting line
Last week, I accompanied an engineer to Suzhou to debug the equipment. The customer pointed to the mugwort green rice balls being packaged and sighed: "This kind of soft seasonal snack, in previous years, we had to find temporary workers to pack them one by one." Now, watching the bakery's automatic packaging machine steadily hold the green rice balls, without squashing the skin and perfectly fitting the plastic wrap, even the master who has been making pastries for 30 years couldn't help but take pictures and send them to Moments.
From baguettes to mochi, from standardized production to personalized customization, our factory always believes that a good food packaging solution should not be a cold link on the assembly line, but should give each piece of dough temperature. If you are still worried about the problem of packaging special-shaped bread, or want to reduce the burden on the back kitchen in the early morning, please feel free to chat. Maybe the next "mechanical baker" that saves you worry and effort will be in your back kitchen tomorrow!
