Chapter 261: Canned Production
【 】,No pop-ups,Fast update,Free to read!
"How's the production going today?" Zhang Yuan asked loudly, but the director of the naturalized factory beside him obviously couldn't hear clearly, his face was full of question marks, and he looked at Zhang Yuan with a confused expression.
Sun does not enmity Keku, and Sun Cha is a lone owner
They were now in a large workshop, where rows of equipment were neatly arranged, the steam engine in the distance was snorting and steaming, and the flywheel was spinning rapidly, driving a transmission shaft, directly driving a huge cylinder at the top to rotate in idle.
If it is in the old world factory, the drive machine tool and assembly line often only need to be electrified, and other things naturally have circuits and motors to deal with, but now the industrial system of the Senate can manufacture more than 100 kilograms of electric motor, want to use to drive the machine tool is not only not efficient, but also consumes electricity, and it cannot be promoted at all in terms of the existing power generation level of Dongfang Port. Therefore, now the machine tool and assembly line drive can only use the most primitive method, directly through the transmission shaft to drive the large transmission shaft of the plant empty, and then use the belt to transmit the rotating power of the transmission shaft to the mechanical equipment. The advantage of this is that the propeller shaft can be arranged longitudinally through the empty space of the plant to ensure less power transmission loss, but there is also a threat, that is, the heavy propeller shaft may fall off, and if it hits the bottom, an accident will inevitably occur.
In order to prevent the transmission shaft from falling off and causing casualties, the fixed steel nails used to erect the main transmission shaft are divided into seven groups, which are fixed in seven reinforced concrete brackets respectively, and each bracket has a large bearing to fix the transmission shaft, which can effectively reduce the lateral deflection force brought by rotation and ensure safety. In addition, in the direction of rotation of the transmission shaft near the fixed support, there is also a sliding groove that is fixed on the wall, so as to ensure that in the case of the transmission shaft sliding down, it will not fall directly below the personnel set in the plant because of the sliding groove, but slide to the raw material area where no one will generally be active.
At this moment, the plant is full of machine tools, punches, milling machines and other mechanical processing equipment made by noise, whether it is Zhang Yuan or the cadres and workers present, each head is wearing a small earmuff to ensure that the huge noise will not affect the hearing of the staff. Of course, these earmuffs also brought another problem, that is, what Zhang Yuan said now is completely inaudible to the factory director. The factory director had no choice but to lean over and shout at Zhang Yuan, "What did you say, chief?" ”
Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly, no one was interested in talking in such a noisy noise.
At the far inlet, a piece of glittering silver iron sheet is fed into the inlet, these are the galvanized iron plates known as tinplate, which are sent from the iron plate produced by the Oriental Iron and Steel Plant to the electroplating department for galvanizing operation. The pieces of iron were quite large, but very thin, about 0.5 millimeters thick, and they were being fed into the gaping machinery by rolling conveyor rollers.
There was a screeching sound of metal cutting from several huge machines, and soon the iron sheets were cut into rectangular strips, which were then sent to the next process with the conveyor rollers.
A steel roller moved over, crushed the rectangular iron sheets into a ring shell, and then swept them out and threw them into the basket of the outfeed on the side. Workers waited by the side, and when a basket was filled, some workers dragged the basket away with a trailer, while others dropped an empty basket and continued to pick up the next batch of shells.
These ring-shaped shells are sent to the next workbench, and workers skillfully place the ring-shaped shells on the steel piles of the conveyor belt, with the open side facing the same direction. These shells are encased in steel piles and do not move. Then two cylindrical thin rollers are pressed down from the surface, and they move around the annular shell, pressing the shell tightly against the steel pile. Then a flame-spewing nozzle stretched out from the front, and with a slight movement downward, the white iron shell was welded into a cylindrical hollow.
Continuing forward, some workers took off these empty cylinders and put them on the conveyor belt steel piles behind them, these steel piles are obviously different from those similar steel piles before, the empty cylinders are placed on the steel piles that completely cover the height of the steel piles, and slowly move towards the roaring punch in front.
There are also several punches next to it, there are workers sitting in front of the punch, and they are using pliers to clamp a piece of white iron sheet to push the punch, and every time the punch press impacts, it will cut a small piece of round iron sheet, and the diameter of these iron sheets is the same as the diameter of the white iron sheet empty cylinder of the conveyor belt. The round pieces of iron fall down the slide groove under the punch press to the baskets below, and when they are filled, the baskets are transported to the punch press on the conveyor belt.
At the edge of the conveyor belt, workers nervously put the round iron pieces in the basket into the empty cylinder of the conveyor belt that was slowly moving. Because the height of the empty barrel is slightly higher than the steel pile below, the round iron sheet falls almost perfectly on the steel pile below, and then enters the punch, and then with the rumbling impact, the round iron sheet is firmly pressed on the top of the empty cylinder by the punch, and then after leaving the punch, the workers quickly take out the empty cylinder with their hands and feet.
These are the most important components of the canned food production process of the Senate's important export material, and these empty cans will be inspected and cleaned in the next process to prevent the mechanical lubricating oil from remaining on the surface and causing the canned food to taste poor. In addition, these empty cans are cleaned and sent to a steam sterilization workshop to sterilize them with steam at 300 degrees Celsius before being sealed, basically faithfully enforcing the old world food safety standards.
The canning boxes are washed and sent directly to the cannery, which now has multiple production lines capable of producing a variety of different cans, and because the cans are vacuumed when they are sealed, they are stored for a considerable period of time, of course, only under the concept of the plane.
There are several kinds of canned food in the Senate, and the canned minced fish is a new type of canned food that has just been launched recently, the fish in this canned food is first cut off the internal organs at the processing table, and then sent to the deboner for automatic tumbling and deboning and scaling, and the fish meat has become a paste after the deboner comes out, and then it is sent to be crushed into minced fish, and then it is divided into empty cans through automatic filling equipment, and sent to the processing workshop through a conveyor belt. The processing workshop will arrange these cans and send them to the steam room for five minutes of steaming to ensure that the minced fish inside is cooked and can be eaten directly after opening the can, and spices and condiments will be added to increase the deliciousness of the minced fish. This is followed by a final process, which is sent to the vacuum chamber in the packaging workshop for packaging.
The vacuum chamber of the vacuum workshop is a large glass room, the glass itself is isolated from the air, and the glass of the glass room is bonded with fish gelatin, although these fish gelatin can not be guaranteed to be used for a long time, but it can still maintain an airtight effect of about one month to two months in a near-vacuum environment.
At the top of the vacuum chamber is a large pumping machine, driven by an independent steam engine, which uses steel pistons and cylinders to pump air, although the effect is not similar in the old world, but the pumping effect is still quite strong. There are no workers in the vacuum chamber, and the workers send the cans to be sealed to the automatic capping machine through the conveyor belt, and the automatic capping machine completes the packaging of the cans very mechanically and accurately through the set mechanical action, and then sends them to the outlet of the vacuum chamber.
Since it is a glass house, the workers waiting outside can clearly see what is going on inside, and if there is a malfunction, they will turn off the extractor and open the closed door to enter for processing, and in the same way, if the cans that have been sealed are full or the cans that need to be sealed are empty, they will also open the vacuum chamber for handling.
Looking at such a canning factory from the perspective of the old world, the production efficiency is absolutely low, and the output of a day is only more than 1,000 to 2,000 cans, but this kind of production efficiency has formed a sense of deterrence among the naturalized people, for them, even if they can't make a few cans a day, but the factory's automated assembly line can make a few workers produce such high efficiency, which makes them surprised.
The shape of these canned foods varies, the canned minced fish is low and low, and it can hold about 500 grams of minced fish; And there are a lot more canned eight-treasure rice, which is basically about one kilogram, which can meet the needs of several people for one meal.
The so-called eight-treasure rice was originally steamed glutinous rice, mixed with sugar, oil, osmanthus, poured into a utensil containing red dates, barley, lotus seeds, longan, and other fruits, and then poured sugar marinade after steaming. In the north, these materials are not easy to get together, but in the port of the East, these ingredients have become a common product at your fingertips, and sugar is directly a product that the Senate can provide in large quantities, especially in the past two years, the Maidno merchants have transported a large number of bagasse to "feed the pigs", and after the re-squeezing of sugar through the factory, they can still get about 30% of the sugar harvest, and the barley chain longan is not a problem. It is the trouble of jujube, because the current jujube species are not good, and they are basically not high-yield jujubes, and they can only have better taste jujubes after grafting.
However, this is not difficult for the food factory, the lack of enough red dates, then with some other fruits with better taste, such as pineapple and other fruits, anyway, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade said that this is eight treasure rice, that is eight treasure rice, who is not happy to make it themselves. However, these eight-treasure rice is obviously sought after by buyers, you must know that although this kind of eight-treasure rice that can be eaten when opened is a bit hard, the taste is simply not good after direct heating. And it adds a large amount of sugar, so that the natives who usually regard sugar as a luxury product rush to it, and the production is not enough to sell.
In addition to these, the food factory also has ready-to-eat canned corn kernels and canned mashed potatoes, as well as canned pork with potatoes, which is a luxury, and canned fruits, which are valued by the indigenous people. The Medeno people have been adrift at sea for hundreds of years, and have long enjoyed the pain of inconvenient plant cultivation, and often have to choose poultry and meat as their staple food in terms of food. They have been craving fruits and vegetables for a long time, but because they are not storable, they are extremely difficult to eat in Haicheng.
But now the Department of Commerce and Trade of the Senate is able to provide the sale of canned fruits, which perfectly solve the weakness of the fruit's inability to store, and can make the fruit inside enter thousands of households and sell it as a very affordable price, so the sales of canned fruit have been high.
The ship is far from cool, and the ball catches the sun and makes a cold hate
The production efficiency is absolutely low, and the output of a day is only more than 1,000 to 2,000 cans, but this kind of production efficiency has formed a sense of deterrence among the naturalized people, for them, they can't make a few cans a day, but the factory's automated assembly line can make a few workers produce such high efficiency, which makes them surprised.
The increase in sales of canned fruit made Sun Bin a little embarrassed, and there are generally only three fixed types of local canned fruit, namely canned pineapple, canned lychee and canned longan, which are filled with a lot of sugar water to increase the taste, but it does not reduce the fact that the fruit yield is low. The highest yield of the three cans is pineapple, because it is the only one that is best cultivated. Lychee and longan are completely dependent on the growth of mature trees, and in the absence of large-scale cultivation orchards, these two fruits can only be obtained by collecting the fruits of wild trees, and the yields are not only unstable, but also the total amount is low.
Sun Bin had to open up a large area north of Shabak by the river to grow lychees and longan, but fortunately, there was a lot of land and seeds to plant, and as long as the trees grew into mature trees, the yield would increase steadily, and until then, he could only rely on collecting wild fruits.
Another best-selling product of the food factory is the legendary "stone-killing" compressed dry food, which is made by breaking up many different grains, then stirring them with water and then dehydrating them, and most dry foods are added with spices and sugar to increase the taste. However, some time ago, the representatives of the army reported that many compressed dry foods were a little sweet and greasy, and eating too much of them affected the taste, so the compressed dry food produced during this period reduced the sugar and increased the salt.
The dry food is dried from the paste through six steam dries, eventually losing most of its moisture, and then wrapped in oiled paper by the packaging department and sent for encapsulation. Compressed dry food in the Old World was packaged in vacuum plastic, but there is no plastic in the New World, and although the chemical department has been working plastics, there has been no significant melee until now, so the packaging is now very primitive with oiled paper and wooden boxes.
The industrial products of the Senate are very particular about packaging, only some cans with high liquid content will be packaged in cylindrical shapes, and cans with more solids are basically all square. The advantage of the square shape is that it can be placed in the box in its entirety, so that it will not be damaged by the shaking of the hull during transportation. Not only cans, but also various alcoholic beverages such as rum provided by Port Orient are installed in bottles with a square cross-section, which ensures that these square bottles can be stored in one box to the greatest extent.
"Okay," Zhang Yuan said helplessly, "Now no one here can hear clearly, so I still don't ask." After speaking, he shouted to the naturalized factory chief behind him, "It's okay, you guys are busy, I'm going to the dry dock!" ”
Sun Yuan is not a ghost, and the battle is cool
