Biscuit and Bread Equipment Exported to Paraguay, Facilitating Brand Automation Upgrades
In South America’s baking industry, a Paraguayan company, leveraging its superior product quality, has not only secured a leading position in the local market but has also expanded into North America, establishing its own brand and a stable sales network.
As market demand continues to grow, traditional manual and semi-automated production methods can no longer meet its evolving needs. Seeking automation solutions, the client turned to Gondor Machinery. We successfully provided customized food machinery solutions for experienced Paraguayan bakery owners, including high-performance biscuit machines, bread slicers, and bread rollers.
Customer Needs: Quality Over Quantity
The customer’s main products are cookies and breadsticks. They currently face several production challenges:
- 1. Consistency in breadstick cutting size and length is difficult to maintain, affecting packaging and product stability.
- 2. The breadstick rolling process is highly dependent on operator skill; new employees learn slowly, leading to fluctuating yield rates.
- 3. Cookie forming and output rhythms are significantly affected by manual labor, resulting in substantial delivery pressure during peak seasons.
In initial communication, the customer exhibited typical “expert buyer” özellikler. They clearly stated, “Quantity isn’t my only pursuit; the product’s forming effect and the machine’s durability are key.” They then outlined their requirements:
- 1. Biscuit Production Diversity: The customer produces a wide variety of cookies, requiring machines that not only have precise extrusion capabilities but also adaptability to doughs of varying viscosities, ensuring consistent weight and appearance for each cookie to meet stringent North American export standards.
- 2. Breadstick Slicer: Needs precise cutting with clean, even edges, preserving the dough’s structure.
- 3. Breadstick Roller: Simulates hand-kneading pressure to ensure a smooth surface and appropriate internal density in the finished product.
Güven Oluşturmak: CE Certification and Professional Technical Support
For our Paraguayan client, the biggest concerns when purchasing large machinery internationally are quality compliance and after-sales service.
We provided the client with all the necessary certificates, and the client expressed their trust in us, deciding to visit our facility.
Eliminating Doubts: The Endorsement of CE Certification
Since the client’s products are sold in North America, their production environment and equipment must meet international safety and hygiene standards. Addressing the client’s concerns about quality, we provided CE certification (Conformité Européenne) documents for the entire production line.
Emniyet: The equipment’s design for circuit protection and mechanical safety complies with European safety regulations.
Hijyen Standartları: All food-contact parts of the machine are made of food-grade stainless steel (SUS304), facilitating cleaning and disinfection.
Factory and Showroom Visit, On-site Testing to Confirm Results
To ensure the equipment fully met their specific production processes, the client personally flew to China for an on-site inspection of Gondor Machinery. This visit became a crucial turning point in the project’s final implementation.
1. Transparent Production Process Demonstration
Accompanied by engineers, the client toured the workshop, gaining a detailed understanding of the manufacturing processes of two core machines. From raw material cutting and welding to the selection of core component brands, the client witnessed firsthand Gondor’s dedication to detail.
2. On-site Testing: Data and Finished Products Speak for Themselves
The client brought their brand-specific formula, and we conducted on-site testing in the showroom:
3. Cookie Machine Test: After adjusting the molds, the machine quickly produced perfectly shaped cookie dough pieces, with thickness errors controlled within a minimal range.
4. Dough Rolling Connection Test: The client focused on observing the smoothness of the dough entering the rolling machine after bread strips were cut. The test proved that automated connection effectively avoided dough deformation caused by manual movement.
Customer feedback: “I observed the machine’s stability during operation; the vibration was minimal, and the noise control was excellent. This indicates that the internal gears and motor are very precisely matched.”
Through the visit and trial run, the customer gained intuitive confidence in the equipment’s operating logic, istikrar, and controllability, further confirming their decision to purchase.
Follow-up Developments: Plans to Add Packaging Equipment
After visiting the factory and showroom, the client showed greater interest in overall automation upgrades, particularly drawn to our advanced yastık paketleme makinesi and automated packaging line. Previously, the client’s packaging process relied heavily on manual labor, but after seeing how seamlessly the Gondor packaging machine integrated with the biscuit production line, the client realized the potential for further cost reductions.
As their products are sold in the North American market, they have higher requirements for packaging consistency and efficiency. The client has expressed interest in further configuring packaging equipment, and both parties are currently discussing details such as specific packaging formats, bag type requirements, and integration methods.
Şu anda, both parties are in in-depth discussions regarding the customized specifications of the packaging machine, film material compatibility, and voltage compatibility in Paraguay.
