Henan Shangpin Food, recognized for its robust presence in the Chinese meat processing industry, has embarked on a pivotal upgrade by partnering with Quintus Technologies to implement a cutting-edge high pressure processing system. This technological advancement underscores Shangpin's commitment to enhancing food safety protocols and product quality in its facilities located in Zhumadian City, Henan Province.
Shangpin Food's production facility is renowned for its diverse portfolio of low-temperature meat products, catering to diverse culinary preferences worldwide. Marketed under the esteemed SunLife brand and through private labels, these products serve a discerning clientele including major retailers such as Yonghui Superstores, Walmart, and Ito-Yokado, adhering strictly to stringent food safety standards set by Japan and Europe.
The decision to adopt Quintus Technologies' HPP system aligns with Shangpin's strategy to integrate state-of-the-art technologies that preserve the nutritional integrity and freshness of their products. Unlike conventional methods, HPP employs cold pasteurization using pressure rather than chemicals or heat, thereby maintaining the original taste and nutritional value of refrigerated foods.
Yalei Su, Quality Assurance Director at Shangpin, highlights the distinctive advantages of the Quintus HPP system: "The high pressure cold pasteurization method ensures that our products retain maximum freshness and nutrients, setting it apart in terms of quality and innovation."
The Quintus QIF 400L-4000 model, chosen by Shangpin, features a sizable vessel diameter of 18.5 inches (47 cm), optimized for cost-efficiency per unit. It incorporates advanced features such as energy-saving frequency-controlled motor drives, "SmartPress" cloud-based management software for operational efficiency, and streamlined maintenance accessibility to minimize downtime.
Additionally, Shangpin has enrolled in Quintus Technologies' comprehensive five-year Quintus Care Program. This program guarantees ongoing operational support, including spare parts availability, technical assistance, annual press inspections, and continuous training for Shangpin personnel. Such initiatives underscore Shangpin's dedication to upholding industry-leading standards and nurturing continuous improvement in their operational capabilities.
Jan Söderström, CEO and President of Quintus Technologies, emphasizes the company's commitment to supporting Shangpin's ambitions: "As a global leader in high pressure technology, Quintus is proud to extend our footprint in the Chinese market, ensuring robust service operations across the Asia-Pacific region to meet the evolving needs of our valued customers."
