Project Background
The customer planned to establish a modern central kitchen capable of handling large volumes of fresh ingredients while maintaining strict food safety and quality standards.
To improve production efficiency and support standardized meal preparation, the project required an integrated solution covering food preprocessing, packaging, and refrigerated storage.
KONEX provided a one-stop solution including equipment manufacturing, on-site installation, production line layout, and cold chain engineering, ensuring every processing area worked together efficiently.
Phase 1 – Equipment Delivery
Every successful project begins with reliable logistics.
All food processing equipment was professionally packaged and transported to the project site before installation. Forklifts and unloading equipment were used to safely position the machinery according to the installation schedule, ensuring efficient project execution from the first day.
Delivery Highlights
- Professional transportation planning
- Secure export-grade packaging
- Safe unloading procedures
- Organized equipment positioning
- Ready for installation upon arrival
Phase 2 – Food Processing Equipment Installation
Following equipment delivery, the KONEX engineering team completed the installation of the central kitchen’s food preprocessing area.
The workshop was designed with wide operating spaces, hygienic flooring, stainless steel equipment, and efficient drainage systems, creating a clean processing environment suitable for continuous production.
Based on the project documentation, the production area includes multiple food preparation lines, conveyor systems, vegetable washing and cutting equipment, meat processing machines, and auxiliary workstations arranged to optimize workflow and reduce unnecessary handling.
Main Processing Equipment
The installed production system includes equipment such as:
- Vegetable Washing Lines
- Vegetable Cutting Machines
- Conveyor Systems
- Meat Processing Equipment
- Stainless Steel Work Tables
- Material Transfer Systems
- Auxiliary Processing Equipment
The modular equipment layout allows different processing zones to operate independently while maintaining a smooth production flow.
Hygienic Production Layout
One of the most important features of this project is its clean and organized workshop design.
The processing area was planned to improve food safety, simplify cleaning, and maximize production efficiency.
Workshop Features
- Food-grade stainless steel machinery
- Spacious processing layout
- Non-slip hygienic flooring
- Efficient drainage channels
- Easy-to-clean production environment
- Optimized material flow
- Convenient equipment maintenance
These design principles help reduce cross-contamination while improving operator efficiency.
Phase 3 – Vacuum Packaging System Installation
To extend product shelf life and improve packaging quality, KONEX also supplied a complete vacuum packaging area.
The project includes multiple commercial vacuum packaging machines connected through stainless steel conveyor systems, creating a streamlined packaging workflow for processed food products.
Advantages of Vacuum Packaging
- Extended shelf life
- Better product freshness
- Reduced oxidation
- Improved transportation stability
- Enhanced product presentation
- Reduced food waste
By integrating the packaging system directly into the production line, the customer benefits from higher efficiency and reduced manual handling.
Phase 4 – Cold Storage System Installation
An efficient cold chain is essential for every modern central kitchen.
KONEX designed and installed a complete cold storage system to support raw material storage, semi-finished product preservation, and finished product distribution.
The cold rooms feature insulated panels, high-efficiency evaporators, sliding cold room doors, and outdoor condensing units, providing reliable refrigeration performance for continuous operation.
Cold Storage Features
- Modular insulated cold rooms
- High-efficiency evaporators
- Commercial condensing units
- Sliding insulated doors
- Stable temperature control
- Energy-efficient refrigeration
- Easy maintenance
The refrigeration system helps maintain product quality while supporting a complete cold chain from production to distribution.
