Ishida Solutions support Danish Crown’s China expansion Ishida Europe has designed and installed a series of bespoke packing lines for specialist meat producer Danish Crown’s new greenfield factory in China. Working in close partnership with the customer, Ishida has supplied its own and ancillary equipment for the four lines, which are handling a variety of products including minced and diced pork, ribs and steaks, as well as quality control for thermoformed packs of pork. The factory is now in operation and will have a capacity for 14,000 tonnes of meat to be processed and packed each year when it is up to full speed. Ishida’s ability to devise complete solutions in line with customer requirements and efficiency and throughput targets, along with the excellent performance and reliability of its equipment, were key reasons for the company’s selection by Danish Crown. 32 FDPP - www.fdpp.co.uk
