High Pressure Processing Is Key Component of Meat Processor's
Growth Plan
VÄSTERÅS, Sweden, June 20,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The installation of a High
Pressure Processing (HPP) system from Quintus Technologies
brings Chinese meat processor Henan Shangpin Food Co., Ltd. several
steps closer to its ultimate goal of becoming an industry leader in
the mid- to high-end animal protein sector. The dynamic young
company is following a carefully crafted growth strategy that
focuses on building cooperative upstream and downstream
relationships and then integrating global supply chain resources
and expertise into its own production protocols.
We chose to work with Quintus for its long
history in high pressure production, in-depth experience in meat
and other food categories, and strong sense of collaboration, among
other reasons.--Shangpin Quality Assurance Director Mr.
Yalei Su
Shangpin's processing facility in Zhumadian City, Henan Province, produces an assortment of
low-temperature meat products to suit a variety of global tastes.
The products are marketed under the processor's own brand, SunLife,
and private label to a customer base that includes Yonghui
Superststores, Walmart, and the Japanese chain Ito-Yokado. All
output conforms to the internal food safety control standards of
Japan and Europe.
In response to burgeoning consumer demand for fresh-tasting,
preservative-free products, Shangpin is upgrading its refrigerated
meat product category with the addition of High Pressure Processing
to its production line. HPP is the ground-breaking food safety
technology that uses pressure instead of chemicals and heat to
inactivate dangerous foodborne pathogens in refrigerated foods and
beverages. Allowing the resulting products to retain their original
nutritional benefits and taste, HPP has become the go-to method for
brand protection while facilitating the development of profitable
new products with extended shelf life and strong consumer
appeal.
Shangpin's selection of the Quintus high pressure press reflects
its commitment to learn from the most advanced technology providers
at the forefront of the global food industry. As the originator of
high pressure technology, Quintus is recognized worldwide for its
expertise, innovation, and high level of customer support.
"We chose to work with Quintus for several reasons," says
Shangpin Quality Assurance Director Mr. Yalei Su, pointing first to the company's long
history in high pressure production and in-depth experience in meat
and other food categories. "Due to its unique high pressure cold
pasteurization method, HPP allows the pasteurized products to
retain their fresh taste and nutrients to the maximum extent,
making it stand out among the current methods," he explains.
Mr. Yalei Su also cites the
benefits of Quintus's strong sense of collaboration, which was
evident from its early assistance choosing the right equipment
model and packaging materials all the way through its ability to
provide a turnkey project and after-sales services. "This
assistance will make the machine installation much more efficient
and less costly," he comments.
The HPP system on order is the Quintus model QIF 400L-4000,
which offers a large vessel diameter of 18.5 inches (47 cm) for
lower per unit cost. The high capacity QIF 400L press family
incorporates advanced features like frequency-controlled motor
drives for energy conservation; "SmartPress" cloud-based press
management software; fewer moving parts for reduced downtime; and
easy access to all components requiring regular maintenance or
inspection.
Shangpin also elected to participate in a five-year Quintus®
Care Program to protect its investment. Quintus Care ensures flawless press operation
and equipment maintenance by providing application support, high
availability of spare and wear parts, and guaranteed and
prioritized technical support. It also includes annual press
inspections, training, and recertification of Shangpin personnel to
maintain and elevate their skills.
"As the global leader in high pressure technology, Quintus has
long been active in the Chinese market, and we have a
well-established service operation across the APAC region to
support our customers," states Jan Söderström, CEO and President of
Quintus Technologies. "We are very pleased to work with the bright,
dedicated personnel at Shangpin Food and contribute to their
success."
The Quintus HPP system will be installed in the Zhumadian City
plant later this year.
