All about
sardine production line packing methods
Once the sardine fishes are harvested right
out of the ocean, they will be delivered to the factory plant using sardine
truck or carrier or vessels. After that, the fish are going to be pumped by
using large vacuum pumps into the plant. After the fish in the plant, they will
be transferred into grading room. In this room the fish will be graded
according to their size and then stored in ice and brine to ensure that the
fish is as fresh as when they were caught even after placed in the cans. During
this time inspection control is also conducted to make sure the sardine production line follows the set up
standards of the factory.
Next, we are going to share about the
packing methods which usually used by most of sardine manufacturers. There are
3 different methods that can be applied in the sardine
production line factory plant which are:
-

The semi-automatic method
packing line
-
The full-automatic method
packing line
The tree methods used in sardine packing
line are equally can handle the sardines properly, although it is just a matter
of time and efficiency. With traditional method the factory workers by hands
remove the heads and tails of sardines using scissors and then place the fish
into the cans while with both semi and full automatic method packing line, the
sardines will be placed in pockets and then the machine will work to remove the
heads and tails. After that, the beheaded fish are stored into the cans.
Usually the heads and tails of the sardine’s fish will not be thrown away by
the factory and instead they will be used to make other sardine products
including fish oil and fish meal.
The cans are not be sealed yet in the canned sardine production line since they are
still need to go through pre-cooking process where the fish are going to be
placed in racks then put in the carts. And then with steam, the fish are
pre-cooked to reduce the moisture plus make them firmer. The water will be
drained off then the fish will be cooled.
The next process is seaming and retorting
where the fish are given with sauces or extra ingredients to make sure they
have richer flavor. Some of the fish will be packed in oils and water. After
that the cans are sealed tightly and transferred to the can washer where the
cans are going to be cleaned. The last step is the retorting process and in
this line, the sardine cans are cooked in high pressure for about one hour more
or less depending on the products. When done, the cans are removed then drained
once again. After the staff let the cans cooled down they will start to package
the products to be ready distributed to various areas and exported to other
countries as well.
Sardine production

The staff should basically follow the set up standards made by the
manufacturers to make sure the end products are in great condition. Even after
all the process is done to be conducted, the inspection still needs to be done
to check the canned fish before they are being distributed. They will repeat
these processes again and again to make their canned sardines fish and of
course they will upgrade and give some improvement to make the sardine production line better. In
