Commissioning: Q1 2024
Linyi, Shandong is China��s largest garlic & ginger export base, accounting for 1/3 of global trade volume. J***Y Group is a leading local enterprise, exporting to the US, EU, Japan, and Southeast Asia. However, rising international standards for cleanliness and pesticide residues created severe challenges:
Garlic Skin Damage Devalues Products: Export dry garlic requires intact outer skin. Traditional brush washing caused 15% damage, forcing downgrade to low-value cloves.
Hidden Mud in Ginger Grooves: Uneven ginger surfaces trap deep mud, impossible to remove with traditional washing, leading to Japanese customer complaints.
Root Residues Ruin Appearance: Dense garlic roots required inefficient manual trimming, still leaving mud, causing high US supermarket returns.
Drying & Storage Issues: Fresh ginger molds within 2 days without fast drying; dry garlic sprouts if not fully dried.
Client requirements: Keep dry garlic skin INTACT; fully clean ginger grooves; remove all roots; fast drying for ocean shipping.
After comparing Japanese & German equipment, they chose HADOF. Our advantage: **deep customization for garlic/ginger characteristics**, not generic machines.
