Many people have thought about starting a production business in the food industry. Cannot blame them at all, as it is well known as the fastest growing industry after technologies sector in respect. The significance of food industry growth also initiated higher sales and production of food industry related machinery. At the point when you eventually decide what you would like to be producing and have appropriate licensing to start your business you need to find the best merchandiser on a market to purchase the machinery. Well, maybe not the best, but definitely need to consider and take into account price and quality before investing huge amounts of money.
There is a sea of options to consider and so daunting and confusing when it comes to making a choice of buying an appropriate machinery. Many merchandisers import machinery from overseas. However, they definitely do not forget to get themselves high commissions for trading imported goods. Therefore, the price is much higher than it would be if buying directly from manufacturers. Though, sometimes we refuse this idea merely due to the thought it might be too complicated finding and arranging transportation from overseas manufacturers. Taking a step into the world of food industry may not be easy to accomplish, but surely highly rewarding.
Choosing the product
It is very important to choose the production line which would be capable of producing product which is in high demand on today’s market. One of an eye catching options I recently spotted on a market is bread crumbs production. Bread crumbs demand is higher than supply at the moment making it a great option for new starters in production line business. It is only a question of time who will be quick enough to take a hold on this very rewarding market.
Competition
In order to succeed in food industry production business it is crucial to establish company producing only the highest quality and variety bread crumbs. Also in order to keep competitive price, production expenses must be taken into account. As you are choosing the machinery, it is a must to choose the modern equipment which would allow to produce bread crumbs with as little waste as possible. In turn making your profit much higher on a long run than the any outdated equipment.
Constructing a bread crumbs production line
In order to construct a bread crumbs production line you have to acknowledge the whole production process. First step is to install flour mixing unit which would mix wheat, water and any other materials you would like. Second step in production is to set a screw conveyor responsible for conveying mixed materials to the next stage. Since the material already passed the first two steps on a production line the mixture travels to twin-screw extruder. In a twin-screw extruder the material gets cooked to the point of gelatinization state. Within the following step, the material gets shaped into extrudates using shaping machine. When the material moves on conveyor belt and gets to the grinding machine where it gets grind into the shapes and pieces you require. Following the grinding procedure, the crumbs get moves on a conveyor belt to vibrating sifter which sifts and removes crumbs which do not satisfy quality norms. Since the bread crumbs are already sifted and the unsatisfactory crumbs have been removed, the material gets moved to the oven dryer and reaches the last stage of production.
Usually the bread crumbs production line requires two manual workers to operate the line. The temperature setting and the speed of rotation can be easily adapted to production needs.
Bread crumbs machines
Bread crumbs machine manufacturers usually are able to provide several different options to satisfy their potential client needs. However, some of them also provide option to place a custom order. Which means you can actively participate in designing what you want to buy in regard of your preferences. Do not take me wrong, it does not actually mean you will need to design the whole equipment rather becoming an active participant in choosing extra options and adding some necessary qualities for the product you would like to get.
Choosing the merchandiser
The golden rule is to choose the well established manufacturer who has been in business for several years. Even though, the new manufacturers might offer cheaper options, however, there is no guarantee this company can give you the quality item you require. Better be cautions than sorry, as equipment prices are high. Also in case your equipment would get damaged it is more cost effective to cooperate with old companies which often have their own offices all over the world and can offer good deal on your machinery warranty. As well as choosing the well established company in case of any malfunction your line would not be disabled for extensive amount of time. Time is money and it is a must to take it into account very carefully.
Shipping and Price
The most popular way to deliver big and heavy equipment is by sea or land. Usually deliveries from low price countries such as China, India or Bangladesh takes around 2-3 months to reach the destination. It is getting sealed into containers and in order to avoid any damage to your goods it is a good idea to tell seller to pack it up securely. It seems as a common sense, but trust me, it is better to ask extra precautions rather than wait and receive scratched of bumped equipment.
Buying expensive and heavy equipment it is really advisable to get your goods insured before it takes off. It really does not pay off to save money on insurance, it just must be done. Insurance price depends on the container size and equipment price. Usually delivery services also have their own insurance options to choose from. Give it a go, compare to the other insurance providers. However, never forget to fully read terms and conditions of your potential insurance policy.
The machinery price is usually negotiated depending on your need and options required. The best option to get the price is to directly contact sellers and ask what deal you can get in regard to your requirements. Do not be shy to bargain as they often see you as a potential long term client and may offer a better deal.
