Shuanghui Group

Shuanghui Group is a large-scale food group mainly engaged in meat processing, headquartered in Luohe City, Henan Province, the "China Food City". The group adheres to the development of modern meat industry with the idea of large-scale industry, and has formed an industry group with slaughter and meat processing industry as the main industry, breeding industry, feed industry, slaughter industry, meat processing industry and other prominent main industries and supporting industries. The series of hot dog sausages and sausages under the Shuanghui brand are not only well-known to every household, but also loved by consumers. They are always in the forefront of hot-selling products in major supermarkets across the country. At the same time, Shuanghui Group continues to introduce new flavors of products to cater to the different needs of consumers from all walks of life.

face the challenge

China is a big meat producer and a big meat consumer. The two advantages of resources and market provide favorable conditions for the development of Shuanghui. Shuanghui, as a national leader in meat sausage manufacturing and processing enterprises, has continuously expanded, refined and strengthened the meat industry, and continuously launched new products in response to changing markets. As early as 2005, Shuanghui launched corn hot dog sausages, which became a hit product of Shuanghui Group's high-end meat products, accounting for 1/5 of the total sales of high-end meat products. Subsequently, consumer favorite products such as "Shuanghui Ham Sausage", "Shuanghui King Zhongwang" and "Shuanghui Fish Sausage" came into being.

With more products, the production line naturally needs to be expanded. In order to respond to market demand, Shuanghui Group has continuously improved its production capacity, and the type of product packaging has also changed from the original single product packaging to the multi-product packaging exclusively for supermarkets. At the end of the production line, workers will be arranged to conduct manual sampling inspections on the packaged products, and pick out products with substandard weights or lack of support. Such repetitive work and manual demand are far from meeting the current production capacity requirements. Once there is a problem of substandard weight in the production process, it is likely to cause customer complaints. The brand image and reputation of Shuanghui must be affected in the end.

Automatic checkweigher-economical online weighing solution. With the hot sale of products, a series of problems such as cost and labor have gradually brought trouble to Shuanghui. After being informed of this situation, Fengling Automation took the initiative to put forward a request to investigate the production site of Shuanghui. Since we have been cooperating with Shuanghui before, we also have a basic understanding of Shuanghui's production situation. Therefore, this investigation is based on the original basis, and has investigated the entire production process of the product production line from raw material processing to filling and product packaging. By recording the weight of the product over a period of time, the weight deviation displayed on the screen, and the speed of the production line, combined with the weight requirements of Shuanghui Group, Fengling Automation provides integrated weighing solutions for multiple products of Shuanghui .

Since supermarket packaging products are multi-packs, according to the current production capacity, the speed of the production line is 120 bags/min, and the weight of the bagged products is controlled at about 100-300g (different products vary in weight). Shuanghui hopes to reduce as much as possible. The phenomenon of shortage of finished products in the production process caused by various reasons. Considering that Shuanghui has many production lines, after integrating the actual situation on site, we recommend Shuanghui to use economical automatic checkweigher. The economical automatic checkweigher has a weighing range of 3kg-6kg and a theoretical accuracy of less than 1g, which fully meets the requirements of Shuanghui Group, and does not need to make a big effort to the existing production line. The simple and hygienic structure design can be easily integrated into the existing production line. ; In addition, the data storage function of the economical automatic checkweigher facilitates the conversion of different products during the detection process. At the same time, the economical automatic checkweigher can not only meet the customer's requirements for checking the lack of expenditure, but also can effectively control the total weight of the product, reduce unnecessary cost and waste, help Shuanghui maximize profits while avoiding consumer complaints, thereby affecting the brand Image.

Additional benefits of online weighing

At present, Shuanghui Group has gradually put into use multiple Fengling automatic checkweighers on more than 20 production lines, which not only greatly improves the production efficiency of meat sausage products, but also effectively controls products with substandard weights. From the statistical data of the automatic checkweigher, Shuanghui's investment in raw materials has also been reasonably controlled. From the past in order to avoid the phenomenon of substandard weight, it blindly increased the raw materials of the products, to the scientific management of the production process. In the process, labor is allocated reasonably, which reduces labor and management costs.

From a long-term perspective, the commercial returns brought by the investment of economical checkweighers are huge. Shuanghui Group has also tasted the sweetness in the process of continuous innovation.
