How was the beautiful ham sausage born?

The Sixth Plenary Session of the 15th District Committee pointed out that it is necessary to accelerate the promotion of new industrialization, continue to expand the scale of the industrial economy, and provide solid industrial support for high-quality development. It is necessary to promote the green food, new energy, and rail transit industries to become bigger and stronger, actively cultivate and develop emerging industries and future industries, and focus on promoting the high-end leap of the manufacturing system.

Meihao Food Factory is located in Hope Road, Wujin Street, Xinjin District, Chengdu, which is the origin of the well-known beautiful ham sausage, every day, hundreds of tons of ham sausage produced here are exported to the whole country and even all over the world.

Entering the factory, the clean and fresh environment is eye-catching, under the leadership of Zhang Qiang, assistant general manager of Chengdu Hope Food Co., Ltd., the reporter came to a visual production line about 200 meters long and three meters wide to visit the channel, along the channel all the way forward, through the glass window on the left, you can clearly see every link of ham sausage production.

How is ham sausage produced?

The production line of beautiful ham sausage is divided into five steps: minced meat production, filling and ligation, maturation and sterilization, cleaning and drying, testing and packaging, which are interlocking.

Zhang Qiang

As I walked, I could see through the giant glass window that the freshly produced minced meat was being transported to each station by a large hopper truck, and then loaded into the hopper of the ligator through the vacuum adsorption pipe for filling, ligation and forming, and then transported to a closed tank for maturation and sterilization.

This is our double-layer water bath type high temperature and high pressure sterilization kettle, the whole system adopts hot water immersion circulation, through the heating, constant temperature, cooling technology to achieve uniform heat distribution to ensure the sterilization effect, at the same time improve the overall sterilization efficiency, save energy and water resources.

Zhang Qiang

Walking to the window of maturation and sterilization, the passage has already been halfway, and at this time, the aroma of ham sausage can already be smelled in the air.

Continuing forward, I came to the next window, and saw that the ham sausages that had been cooked and sterilized were inspected by the workers and put into a "cauldron" for cleaning.

This is to clean and dry the sterilized product to avoid residual nutrients on the surface of the intestine that affect food safety.

Zhang Qiang

Finally, the cleaned ham sausage is ready to be boxed!

Boxes of beautiful ham sausages shuttled back and forth on the conveyor belt, and two mechanical arms operated methodically in the air, stacking each box of ham sausages and putting them neatly in one go, and we came to the end of the passage.

Xiaoxin

Looking at it all the way, from the input of raw materials to the packaging and warehousing, almost all of them are automated and intelligent equipment, and the conveyor belts connect the processes one by one, and the scene is very spectacular!

Zhang Qiang told us that the entire production process of beautiful ham sausage is operated by automated machines, from raw material input to product packaging and warehousing, it usually takes 3 hours to produce a ham sausage, and the factory can produce 200 tons of ham sausage a day.

"The people take food as the sky, and food is the first thing." Food safety is closely related to people's lives, how to ensure the health and safety of the production of beautiful ham sausages?

Hand washing, sanitizing, changing clothes...... Putting on white dust-free clothes and boots, bringing inner hats and masks, we walked into the product packaging workshop.

The environment in the workshop is clean and bright, and the staff are wearing a full set of cleaning work clothes and hats, and they are producing in an orderly manner.

All employees will go through the spray room before taking up their posts, and can only enter the production workshop after strict disinfection, and during the production process, workers also need to standardize their attire and wear masks and gloves throughout the process to ensure product safety.

Zhang Qiang

In the product packaging workshop, the automatic quality inspection machine on the production line "kicks" the unqualified products into the basket next to them, and then the products screened by it continue along the conveyor belt, and the workers carry out a second screening.

These screened ham sausages are unqualified products such as bending, deformation, and damage generated in the production process, which are automatically rejected after being identified by intelligent detection equipment, so as to avoid mixing into the qualified products and entering the market.

Zhang Qiang

"Whether the product can pass the customs and go on the market must be strictly inspected by the factory!" Zhang Qiang introduced that Meihao Food has established a strict testing system, and all products need to be inspected in strict accordance with national standards and enterprise internal control standards.

Zhang Qiang said, "We will test the bubbles, color, and taste in the ham sausage, and also test the microorganisms, fat content, moisture content and other indicators. ”

Xiaoxin

The export quality and safety of the products are guaranteed, how to control the quality of raw materials before entering the factory?

Relying on the whole industry chain ecosystem of the parent company New Hope, Chengdu Hope Food Factory has completed a controllable and traceable quality management system and testing system from breeding to factory and from factory to table.

Zhang Qiang

In the chat with Zhang Qiang, he revealed that in addition to the self-supervision and management within the factory, every month, the Xinjin District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau will also come to the factory to randomly select some products for inspection, and will also trace the products from time to time to ensure that the entire production chain from the front end to the factory all meet the relevant requirements.

Xinjin on the tip of the tongue, a happy water city in the fireworks.

Xinjin, as the main carrier of Chengdu's green food industry chain, has gathered a large number of green food upstream and downstream chain owners and chain affiliated enterprises, such as Meimei, Baixiang, Taoli, Master Shen, Wutian, COFCO, Huazhonghua, Jule, Yinlu, etc. Relying on the cluster effect of the green food industry chain, Xinjin continues to strengthen, supplement and extend the chain to promote the development of the whole industrial chain.

Nowadays, "green food industry" has become one of the keywords for the high-quality development of Xinjin District's industry, and Xinjin is continuously increasing its support for the green food industry, building a whole green food industry chain of "field-workshop-tip of the tongue", and promoting the sustainable development of the regional economy.
