As the demand for instant rice noodles continues to surge, Smart Weigh has developed a comprehensive and automated solution to streamline the production and packaging of rice noodles. This blog post explores one of our latest projects, showcasing the substantial improvements brought about by our innovative Rice Noodle Automatic Feeding, Weighing, Bowl Filling, Shaping, and Drying System.

Project Background:

One of our clients, previously reliant on manual labor for weighing rice noodles, faced challenges related to efficiency, hygiene, and consistency. Their existing system required 22 workers, which not only made the process labor-intensive but also prone to errors and inconsistencies due to worker fatigue.

Smart Weigh’s Innovative Solution:

To address these issues, Smart Weigh implemented a multi-faceted solution:

• Rice Noodles Multihead Weigher: Streamlines the weighing process with high precision.
• Infeed Conveyor: Facilitates the automatic feeding of rice noodles into the system.
• Integration with Existing Equipment: Seamlessly connects with the client’s current shaping and drying machines, enhancing the existing setup without the need for complete overhaul.

Key Improvements and Benefits:

• Enhanced Efficiency and Capacity: The system achieves an impressive output of 210 parts per minute, translating to a daily production of 270,000 parts across two shifts in a 22-hour operation period.
• Significant Labor Reduction: The automation reduces the workforce requirement from 22 to just three employees needed for adding ingredients, thereby cutting labor costs dramatically.
• Precision and Quality Control: The Smart Weigh system ensures an accuracy of +/-3.0g of wet rice flour, with mechanisms in place to re-feed and re-weigh any unqualified products, maintaining consistent quality.
• Customized Distributing Mechanism: Each project features a bespoke distributing mechanism that aligns perfectly with customer-specific packaging styles, ensuring optimal placement and pre-shaping of noodles.
• Refined Shaping and Drying: Post-weighing, additional shaping mechanisms give the noodles their ideal form before they are dried into a cake shape, ready for final packaging.

Conclusion:

The implementation of Smart Weigh’s Rice Noodle Automatic Feeding, Weighing, Bowl Filling, Shaping, and Drying System represents a transformative leap in food packaging technology. By tackling critical aspects like labor efficiency, precision, and hygiene, this system not only boosts productivity but also guarantees the highest quality of the final product. It exemplifies Smart Weigh’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions in the packaging industry.
