Cooperation with US Client for Garlic Powder Production Line

We recently finalized a partnership with a US-based client and successfully signed a contract for the procurement of a garlic powder production line. This project will enable the client to upgrade from processing fresh garlic to producing high-value-added garlic powder products, thereby enhancing their market competitiveness and product value.

The US client is an established player in the processing and sales of fresh peeled garlic, boasting a mature raw material supply network and a stable customer base in the local market. With the steadily rising demand for further-processed garlic products—such as garlic powder and granules—the client aims to expand its product portfolio beyond its existing operations, improve raw material utilization, and enter the broader food processing market.

Taking into account current market demand and future expansion plans, the client wishes to adopt a semi-automated garlic powder production line. Compared to a fully automated line, the semi-automated solution not only effectively controls initial investment costs but also leaves room for future capacity expansion, facilitating the subsequent addition of equipment and upgrades to the production process.

Addressing the client's specific requirements, our engineering and technical team conducted an in-depth analysis and—taking into account the U.S. client's existing production conditions—formulated a tailored garlic powder processing solution.

During the production of garlic powder, the drying process significantly impacts the quality of the final product. While traditional high-temperature drying shortens processing time, it tends to cause the garlic slices to turn yellow, thereby compromising the product's appearance and market value. To meet customer requirements regarding product quality, our company has specifically designed a low-temperature drying process solution.

By precisely controlling the drying temperature, airflow velocity, and duration, moisture is evenly removed from the garlic while the natural color and flavor of the garlic slices are maximally preserved. Garlic slices processed via low-temperature drying exhibit a whiter color, facilitating the production of high-quality garlic powder that meets consumer expectations for product quality.

In addition to process design, equipment layout planning is a crucial aspect of this project. The U.S. client plans to build a new garlic powder processing plant and has provided our company with the floor plan for the new facility.

Upon receiving the drawings, our engineers optimized the design of the entire production line based on the factory's actual dimensions, logistics routes, workspace requirements for personnel, and future capacity expansion needs. By strategically arranging the raw material processing, slicing, drying, grinding, and packaging areas, we not only enhanced production efficiency but also effectively reduced material transport distances and the physical strain on operators.

Furthermore, during the equipment layout design process, our engineers fully accounted for the possibility of future equipment additions by reserving the necessary installation space and interface provisions, thereby facilitating subsequent capacity expansion.

Following multiple rounds of technical discussions and design optimizations, the comprehensive solution we provided earned high praise from the client. The client expressed strong approval of the equipment configuration, process design, and our professional service capabilities, ultimately confirming the partnership.
