Client Answers
Four Production Problems Our Clients Solved
Meiteng clients fixed pellet cracking, high oil content, slow shape changes and raw material mismatch by matching each line section to the product. Plant managers report the results below.
How do you stop pellets cracking in storage?
Dry in stages, so the pellet loses moisture evenly before it goes to the warehouse.
“Drying was our biggest loss - pellets cracked after two weeks in the warehouse. With the multi-stage dryer, breakage dropped to almost none.”
How do you lower oil content in fried chips?
Add a de-oiling section directly after the fryer and before seasoning.
“Potato and cassava based chips at six points lower oil content than our old fryer line, thanks to the de-oiling section.”
Can one line make many shapes without slow changeovers?
Yes. Change the die set instead of building a separate mould for every shape.
“Papad and 3D pellets in different shapes without a mould per shape. Dies swap in 20 minutes and the shape stays crisp after frying.”
“Over 200 shapes from the die set, and the 3D pellet keeps its shape through frying without curling.”
Will the line work with our local flour?
Yes. Lines run on potato, cassava or wheat, and you can test your own raw material at our factory.
“They configured the line around our local cassava flour, not a generic recipe, and expansion is even across the whole belt.”
Complete Line Stories
Build One Line, Section by Section, from One Factory
Buying every section from one manufacturer keeps mixing, extrusion, drying, frying, de-oiling, seasoning and packaging aligned. Two owners show how that protected their investment as output and product range grew.
Single machine first, full line later
Start with one machine. Add sections when sales justify it.
“We bought a single machine first and later added the fryer and seasoning from the same factory, so every section lines up.”
A free process plan with CAD and 3D workshop layout shows how later sections will connect before you buy the first one.
2D pellets plus fried chips
Add fried chips without funding a second plant.
“Starch-based 2D pellets were our only product; now we also run fried chips on the same line. One investment instead of two.”
Output, dies, screw combination, heating method and recipe are configured to the product mix you plan to sell.
Clients can visit our 20,000 m² Shandong plant, run trials with their own raw material and arrange third-party inspection. Every line completes a full trial run before leaving the factory.
On-Site Commissioning
Our Engineers Install the Line and Train Your Operators
Meiteng engineers travel to your plant to install and commission the line, then train the people who will run it. Your team takes over a working line.
“Their engineer came for commissioning, trained our staff and left only after the line hit the agreed output.”
The complete line runs in our test workshop before shipment. Third-party inspection can be arranged.
Protected export packing
Export wooden cases with rust and moisture protection, shipped with full customs documents.
Installation and commissioning
Engineers install each section at your plant and commission the line from mixing to packaging.
Operator training
Your operators learn to run the PLC/MCC controls and the line on your own floor.
Long-Term Use
Support Continues Long After Commissioning Ends
Every Meiteng line carries a 12-month warranty, spare parts at cost price with priority shipping, parts supply for 10+ years and lifetime remote support. One chief engineer reports on year two.
12months
Warranty
Coverage starts with a line already proven in a full factory trial.
Year 2
“Two years later the die and screw are still in tolerance, and spare dies arrive at cost within a week.”
10+years
Spare parts supply
Parts ship at cost price with priority, so a worn component does not stop production for long.
Lifetime
Remote support
Reach engineers by video, WhatsApp or email. Preventive maintenance, emergency repair and staff training are available.
Customs Feedback
Complete CE Paperwork Speeds Customs Clearance
Meiteng lines ship with CE documents and food-grade stainless steel on material-contact parts, so importers can present a complete file at customs.
CE, Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
ISO 9001:2015 quality management system
CE certificate, packing list, invoice and customs documents
“Food-grade stainless and CE paperwork were in order, so customs clearance took days, not weeks.”
