In the heart of France's sophisticated food processing landscape, a remarkable innovation in culinary convenience has emerged. Bonduelle, a world-renowned leader in vegetable products, has pioneered a unique single-serve canned vegetable series named "Touche de," designed to be enjoyed either hot or cold, catering to modern demands for quality, versatility, and portion control. This groundbreaking product line features four distinct varieties: red beans, mushrooms, chickpeas, and sweet corn. To bring this vision to life, Bonduelle partnered with Crown Holdings, a global leader in packaging technology, to develop the specialized single-serve packaging line. At the core of this line's success lies the critical sterilization process, for which ZLPH was selected as the technology provider. ZLPH supplied a comprehensive sterilization system comprising five advanced, rotation-capable steam retort machine units. This high-performance retort machine configuration is integral to ensuring the delicate textures and nutritional integrity of the gourmet vegetable varieties are preserved flawlessly.
The selection of ZLPH's equipment was a strategic decision rooted in the need for precision, flexibility, and uncompromising food safety. Each food retort machine in this installation is engineered to utilize a combination of steam and water spray, a method chosen specifically for the Bonduelle "Touche de" line. This hybrid thermal processing approach within the retort food machine allows for exceptionally uniform heat distribution and precise temperature control, which is paramount when dealing with diverse ingredients like tender mushrooms and hearty chickpeas in the same production cycle. The rotation function of the retort canning machine gently agitates the single-serve containers, preventing overcooking and ensuring that every small can receives identical thermal treatment, resulting in consistently perfect product quality from the first can to the last.
Beyond the sterilization vessels themselves, ZLPH's turnkey solution included a fully automated loading and unloading system, synchronized with two sets of electric trolleys. This automation seamlessly integrates each steam retort machine into the high-speed packaging flow established by Crown. The automated handling minimizes human intervention, enhances throughput, and upholds the highest hygienic standards from the filling stage through retorting and final packaging. The reliability and precision of the retort machine automation are crucial for maintaining the line's efficiency and ensuring the sterility of each convenient "Touche de" portion.
This project with Bonduelle and Crown stands as a testament to ZLPH's capability to deliver sophisticated food retort machine solutions for premium, innovative food products in the demanding European market. The successful deployment of these five retort canning machine ipinapakita ng mga unit kung paano natutugunan ng teknolohiya ng ZLPH ang mga mahigpit na kinakailangan ng mga nangungunang pandaigdigang tatak. Binibigyang-diin nito ang isang pangako sa pagpapagana ng culinary innovation sa pamamagitan ng sterilization technology na nagpoprotekta sa lasa, texture, at kaligtasan. Sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng kritikal makina ng steam retort system para sa pangunguna ng linya ng Bonduelle, ang ZLPH ay hindi lamang nag-ambag sa paglikha ng isang natatanging produkto sa merkado ngunit pinalakas din nito ang posisyon nito bilang isang pinagkakatiwalaang kasosyo para sa mga advanced na solusyon sa pagproseso ng thermal sa buong mundo, kung saan ang retort food machine ay kinikilala bilang isang pundasyon ng moderno, ligtas, at mataas na kalidad na produksyon ng pagkain.
