The Chinese company extends over an area of about 100,000m2, of which 68,000m2 are occupied by bottling plants. The warehouse area alone occupies an area of 36,000m2 and allows Huihuang United (Tianjin) Food Co. to store more than 1.5 million packs of C’estbon-branded water, while ensuring its customers a daily delivery of 250,000 packs. Within the production area, six complete lines are currently installed for bottling and packaging various products in various pack formats. The new Ecobloc Ergon integrated system supplied by SMI, is part of a 6,000bph production line for 4.5 and 6 l PET containers branded C’estbon; the new plant is therefore added to the first stretch-blow moulder supplied by SMI in 2015 (in partnership with Sacmi), intended to produce the same bottle. While the SK 600 F shrinkwrapper supplied in 2013, dedicated to the packaging of 0.35 and 0.55 l PET bottles in film-only, is installed inside the 36,000bph line. Huang Gang, Plant Manager of Huihuang United (Tianjin) Food Co. Ltd. about the food & beverages market in the future: “I believe that in this sector there is a lot of room for development and innovation in China, given the constant growth of social well-being of increasingly large sections of the population and the improvement to people’s lifestyle. Companies operating in the food and beverage sector must pay more and more attention to the new needs of consumers, creating a wide and diversified offer of products made with advanced and sustainable processes for the well-being of the planet.” Huihuang United (Tianjin) Food and Zhuai Zhongfu are two industrial companies particularly attentive to the environment. Consequently, energy saving, and the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions have become one of the pillars of corporate social responsibility, which requires the increasingly massive use of new equipment and technologies designed to combine business efficiency and ecosystem protection. www.smigroup.it
