In bamboo skewers production, quality and safety control is crucial. Here are some key measures to ensure the quality and safety of bamboo skewers production:
1. Raw material selection and pretreatment
Material quality: Select high-quality, insect-free, and mildew-free bamboo as raw materials. Ensure that the bamboo is of uniform size for subsequent processing.
Pretreatment: Peel and remove the bamboo to improve the yield and quality of the bamboo sticks.
2. Production process control
Cutting accuracy: Use professional cutting tools (such as CNC cutting machines) to cut to ensure that the length, diameter and other dimensions of the bamboo sticks are accurate and consistent.
Grinding: There may be burrs on the edges of the cut bamboo sticks, which need to be polished to make the surface of the bamboo sticks smooth and burr-free to avoid scratching the skin or damaging other items during use.
Quality control: During the production process, the quality of the bamboo sticks should be checked regularly, including checking for cracks, breakage, bending and other problems. For unqualified bamboo sticks, they should be removed and processed in time to ensure the quality of the final product.
3. Safety and protection
Personal protection: Production personnel should wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves, masks, etc., to prevent injuries or inhalation of harmful dust during cutting, grinding, etc.
Operation specifications: Develop detailed production operation procedures and safety management systems to ensure that production personnel operate equipment and use tools in accordance with specifications.
Protective measures: Provide production personnel with necessary labor protection supplies to reduce the risk of occupational diseases.
4. Hygiene and disinfection
Cleanliness and hygiene: Bamboo sticks must be kept clean and hygienic during production, storage and transportation to avoid contamination by microorganisms such as bacteria and mold.
Disinfection: For bamboo sticks used domestically, although fumigation may not be required, it is also necessary to ensure that necessary disinfection work is carried out during the production process to kill harmful microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. For bamboo sticks exported abroad, fumigation treatment is required to kill possible harmful organisms to ensure compliance with the quarantine requirements of the destination country.
5. Packaging and storage
Packaging materials: Choose environmentally friendly, non-toxic and harmless packaging materials for packaging to protect the bamboo sticks from contamination and damage.
Storage environment: Store bamboo sticks in a dry, ventilated environment without direct sunlight to avoid moisture and high temperature that may cause the bamboo sticks to mold or deform.
6. Quality Inspection and Compliance
Quality Inspection: Establish a strict bamboo skewers inspection process, including appearance inspection, size measurement, microbial testing and other links. Only bamboo sticks that have been fully inspected and qualified can be put into use.
Compliance: Ensure that the production of bamboo sticks complies with relevant national or industry standards and regulatory requirements, such as food safety standards, environmental protection standards, etc.
