Recently, the 2400 kg freeze dried rose production project designed and manufactured by our company successfully completed all production and commissioning, and has passed the user's acceptance test. The project has officially been launched and put into production. The successful implementation of this project will effectively improve the industrialization and standardization level of rose deep processing, fill the gap in freeze dried rose production capacity, and inject new momentum into improving the quality and efficiency of the freeze dried rose industry and extending the industrial chain.
Early Project Stage - Precise Communication to Align Client Needs
The company team engaged in in-depth communication with the buyer, gaining a thorough understanding of the freeze dried rose production capacity requirements and the entire production process. They focused on addressing common issues encountered during the vacuum low-temperature drying of roses, such as petal discoloration, petal deformation and shrinkage, and high energy consumption, proposing solutions. Through repeated discussions, both parties finalized the overall factory construction plan, workshop layout, equipment technical parameters, construction schedule, and acceptance standards, in accordance with industry standards for freeze dried flowers. This laid a solid foundation for the orderly progress of subsequent equipment design, production, installation, and commissioning.
Mid-Project Stage - Detailed Solution Design to Resolve Technical Challenges
Based on prior communication to determine the equipment's technical parameters, the design team conducted a comprehensive and meticulous solution design. The focus was on addressing common problems encountered during the vacuum low-temperature drying of roses, such as petal discoloration, petal deformation and shrinkage, and high energy consumption. The design scheme ensured equipment reliability while also incorporating automated operation, with electrical controls implemented via computer. Once the product is loaded into the freeze-drying chamber, the freeze-drying process runs fully automatically. All operational data can be monitored, stored in files, and reused. This approach ensures high-quality freeze-dried roses while reducing production energy consumption and labor costs. After completion, the solution underwent extensive review and evaluation, optimization, and final implementation.
Late Project Stage - Strict Control over Freeze-drying Equipment Installation and Commissioning to Ensure Stable Operation
The team strictly adhered to the design plan and industry construction standards, rigorously controlling equipment installation and pipeline projects. During the installation phase, the installation team and on-site technical supervisors collaborated closely, strictly following the design and construction plan, and ensuring quality control. The location of on-site pipelines, valves, and equipment, as well as the insulation of refrigeration and heating equipment, complied with relevant industry standards. Simultaneously, optimizations and improvements were made based on site conditions to enhance equipment performance. During the commissioning phase, deviations in the installation process were corrected. Pressure tests were conducted on the on-site vacuum, hot water, and refrigeration pipelines according to industry standards. Valves were repeatedly tested on-site, and the pneumatic, heating, and refrigeration systems underwent multiple trial runs. The electrical system and various pressure, vacuum, and temperature sensors in the freeze-drying system were repeatedly tested to ensure accurate measurements. After allhardware equipment tests were completed, the entire freeze-drying system underwent a pre-test using water as the material. Following the water test's approval, three rounds of testing were conducted using rose petals. Throughout the testing process, the production process was continuously improved, and the freeze-drying technology (freeze-drying vacuum degree, heating temperature, freeze-drying time, etc.) was refined. The freeze-drying equipment is now fully operational, capable of processing 2,400 kilograms of roses per day in both chambers. All performance indicators of the equipment fully meet the design requirements.
