Chapter 443 The Potato Chip Processing Factory Was Built

In mid-November, the potato chip production workshop in charge of Yang Song took two and a half months to be basically completed. Yang Zhenyu received the news and drove to visit the vermicelli factory.

The car stopped at the door, and Yang Song came up to greet him with a smile on his face. This potato chip production workshop was basically delegated by Yang Zhenyu to let him take full responsibility. There will be more.

"Director Yang!" Seeing Yang Zhenyu get off the car, Yang Song took a step up and helped close the car door.

Yang Zhenyu stood outside the factory and took a look, "Is it a thousand square meters?"

"Director Yang is right. A full dozen is a thousand square meters." Yang Song responded.

"How much did it cost in total?"

Yang Songdao: "I inquired about the prices of many steel companies. If it was last year, five or six hundred per square meter would be enough, but this year's steel prices have indeed increased too much. The company that contracted the factory building has a minimum of eight hundred and one hundred. square meters, plus basic facilities such as disinfection equipment in the production workshop, the total cost is nearly 150 million.”

Yang Zhenyu nodded. He didn't think it was too expensive. He also knew the price of steel this year. Compared with the production workshop of the winery, it was reasonable to spend 150 million to build a [-]-square-meter potato chip processing plant.

"Director Yang, I'll show you inside." Yang Song said.

Yang Zhenyu followed into the workshop, where several workers were cleaning. What attracted Yang Zhenyu's attention most were the two potato chip production lines placed on both sides of the workshop.

There are technicians debugging.

Yang Song quickly waved to the technician. The technician understood, put down the tools in his hand and walked up.

"This is the general manager of our company, Mr. Yang." Yang Song introduced, "Mr. Yang, these two production lines are multi-functional automatic production lines customized by the manufacturer in Shandong. French fries, potato chips, etc. Similar products can be produced."

"Hello, Mr. Yang!" The technician took off his gloves and shook hands with Yang Zhenyu.

"Thank you, master." Yang Zhenyu replied politely.

"Master, please introduce this production line to Mr. Yang in detail!" Yang Song ordered.

The technician replied: "Mr. Yang, please, the production process of potato chips can be divided into cleaning and peeling, slicing, rinsing, color protection, blanching, dehydration, frying, deoiling, seasoning, and packaging."

Walking to the end of the production line, the technician introduced: "Mr. Yang, this is the elevator, which is responsible for lifting the materials into the peeling machine. Next is the cleaning and peeling machine, which cleans and peels the potatoes. It is continuous when feeding and discharging. Next is the picking line, where the cleaned and peeled potatoes will be picked, and if there are any bad ones, they will be picked out. Then there is an elevator, which is responsible for lifting the cleaned and peeled potatoes into the slicer.

This is the most critical machine in the entire production line, the potato chips and fries machine. Put the peeled and clean potatoes into the feeding port continuously, and the potato chips and fries will be automatically cut out. The size of the knife edge can be adjusted and used flexibly.

Next is the rinsing line, which washes the cut potato chips and French fries and filters the starch.Then there is the blanching line, where the potato chips and fries are blanched to fix the color and add additives.

Next, the dehydrator is air-cooled, and the moisture on the surface of the blanched potato chips is dried for frying.Then there is the frying line, which can be operated manually or by robots.

This is the degreasing line, which is responsible for removing the oil on the surface of the fried potato chips.Enter the seasoning line, where fried potato chips and French fries are seasoned.

Next is the air-cooled picking line, which is responsible for cooling the potato chips and fries for packaging, and at the same time picking out unqualified potato chips and fries.

Finally, there is the packaging machine, and the finished product can be launched after packaging! "

After hearing this, Yang Zhenyu was quite satisfied. The automation of the entire production line is very high and does not require too high labor costs. He asked the technician, "What is the price of this production line?"

The technician turned his head to look at Yang Song, and Yang Song responded with a smile, "Director Yang, one piece costs 25 yuan, and two pieces cost 47 yuan, which is equivalent to a multi-functional packaging machine sent by the manufacturer."

The technician echoed: "Mr. Yang, as you know, the manufacturing industry in Shandong is relatively developed. Our company is a subsidiary of a state-owned enterprise. Compared with the price of the same type of production line on the market, we are cheaper. And the company promises Lifetime warranty business."

The introduction of two fully automatic potato chip production lines for 47 yuan was within the scope of Yang Zhenyu's acceptance. Yang Zhenyu told Yang Song, "Recruit all workers before the end of the month, and give priority to villagers in the village, preferably between 30 and 40 years old. The female comrades in the workplace, those who are ingenious and handy are given priority. After the workers are recruited, a complete training will be given to let them familiarize themselves with the production line as soon as possible, and they will wait for the news from the marketing department to prepare for production.”

"I'm already in touch." Yang Song said.

Yang Zhenyu said in a serious tone: "I will give you full responsibility for the vermicelli factory. All the work must be done properly. If there is a problem, just replace it. You know my style of work. How many young people are there in the company now? They performed well, but I am worried that there is no suitable position for them to train."

Yang Song was extremely excited, and said: "Director Yang, if there are safety and hygiene problems at the vermicelli factory, I will resign myself and give up my position to a capable person."

A military order was issued in front of Yang Zhenyu.

Yang Zhenyu nodded, came out of the workshop and returned to the car, "I'll go back and chat with the marketing department, and first decide on the name and taste of the product."

"Okay, Director Yang, go slowly." Yang Song laughed and waved to Yang Zhenyu.

Once the potato chip factory is put into operation, it will become another high-profit industry of Pentium Agricultural Products Co., Ltd. Yang Zhenyu counted the profits before deciding to plant super potatoes this year.

Generally speaking, there are two production modes for potato chip forming. One is to mash potatoes and then shape them for production, and the other is to directly cut them. In the process of making mud, the loss of starch is serious.

The two fully automatic production lines introduced by Yangjiawan Village both adopt the method of overall cutting.

Under normal circumstances, a catty of potatoes can produce about three taels of potato chips, and super potatoes have a high starch content, which can be produced at about four taels or even five taels. Most of the potato chips on the market are packaged in two types, one is about one tael , usually in a 70-gram package, with a market price of 2 to 3 yuan.There is also a package of about three or two, which is divided into two types: bagged and barreled, and the price ranges from 6 to 9 yuan.It means that a catty of Super Potatoes can produce 4 to 5 packs of small-package potato chips, and the price is more than a dozen yuan.

The same catty of super potatoes can produce 2 to 3 barrels of large-packed potato chips, which costs more than [-] yuan.

And the retail price of a catty of super potatoes is only one yuan and two, because the company owns the land to grow, and the production cost is even lower, which is about seventy or eighty cents.

Counting labor costs, water and electricity, etc., the profit of producing potato chips from a catty of potatoes is nearly [-] yuan.

This profit is very considerable. Of course, the cost of advertising and marketing must be included in the later stage, but it can also guarantee a minimum profit of more than five yuan.
