China's earliest coffee industry appeared in Hainan. Lishen coffee in Hainan has built a production line with an annual output of 325 tons of instant coffee powder. More three in one coffee brands in China use Lishen's instant coffee powder raw materials; Due to limited production capacity and relatively backward production technology, Lishen coffee stopped production;
Since 2004, Hougu coffee has invested tens of millions of yuan in R & D funds to start the independent R & D of instant powder production line, and finally completed the instant powder production line with an annual output of 3000 tons on August 8, 2008; In 2010, Hougu coffee built another 10000 ton instant powder production line, broke through the production technology of coffee freeze-dried powder, and became the only two enterprises in the world that can produce coffee freeze-dried powder; In 2015, Hougu coffee built another 20000 tons of instant powder production line, which is expected to be put into operation by the end of 2016. The new 20000 tons of instant powder production line has realized full intelligent control.
It is understood that the instant powder production line, which will be completed and put into operation at the end of this year, has achieved fully automated and intelligent production in the production process and realized system integration. Its numerical control degree is more than 95%. The production equipment is networked through fieldbus control and network information technology control. The production efficiency can be increased by more than 20% and the energy consumption can be reduced by 30%, China's coffee industry has achieved zero breakthrough in fully intelligent production.
Intelligent industry opens up the road of manufacturing innovation in China
To some extent, Yunnan coffee is the representative of Chinese coffee, and advanced manufacturing represents the level of coffee production and processing technology in China. In the list of 2016 China's intelligent manufacturing pilot demonstration projects released by the Ministry of industry and information technology,
From coffee planting, processing, production and brand building, to technological breakthrough, better production line and intelligent upgrading, it has grown into a microcosm of China's coffee industry. Then, how do enterprises do it? "For more than 10 years, we have devoted ourselves to the independent research and development of the instant powder production line of intelligent manufacturing, which is not only the need of enterprises, but also the need of the industry. Intelligent manufacturing is to fundamentally speed up the development of the coffee industry, which is the inevitable trend of the in-depth development of China's coffee industry chain." Xiong Xiangren, chairman of Hougu coffee, said.
The actual survey also further shows that "made in China". It is understood that the self-developed instant coffee production line continuously integrates various equipment terminals into all links of coffee deep processing industry based on computing mode, mobile communication and other technologies, greatly improves manufacturing efficiency, improves product quality, reduces product cost and resource consumption, and is committed to upgrading the traditional industry to a new stage of intelligence.
