Recently, Zhucheng Cookimech Co., Ltd. in Shandong Province (hereinafter referred to as "Cookimech") has successfully implemented and stably operated a full - set of sterilization solutions tailored for a well - known Malaysian sauce - producing enterprise. This solution not only includes a high - performance sterilization pot specifically designed for sauces but also, with the help of Cookimech's professional technical team, enables the client to successfully pass the ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) certification and DOSH (Department of Occupational Safety and Health, Malaysia) audit. This provides a solid guarantee for the local sauce enterprise to achieve large - scale and standardized production, winning high praise from the client.
As an important food - producing and exporting country in Southeast Asia, Malaysia's sauce industry is renowned for its rich variety and unique flavors, covering numerous categories such as chili sauce, curry sauce, and peanut butter. However, due to the high content of oil, spices, and moisture in sauce products, they are prone to microbial growth in the hot and humid tropical environment, posing stringent requirements for the precision and stability of the sterilization process. Previously, when this Malaysian sauce enterprise was expanding its production scale, it faced issues such as low - efficiency of traditional sterilization equipment, uneven sterilization resulting in a short product shelf - life and large batch - to - batch quality differences. Moreover, the original equipment did not meet international certification standards, making it difficult to meet the access requirements of the export market.
After in - depth research on the client's production needs and local market standards, Cookimech customized a fully - automatic sterilization pot for sauces. Given the high viscosity and complex composition of sauces, this equipment adopts the "three - dimensional cyclic sterilization technology". Through a specially designed diversion device and stirring system, it ensures that every part of the sauce in the pot is heated evenly, with the sterilization temperature deviation controlled within ±0.5°C, effectively solving the problems of "local overheating damaging the flavor and local incomplete sterilization" of traditional equipment. At the same time, the equipment is made of food - grade 316L stainless steel, which can withstand the long - term corrosion of acidic substances and salts in the sauce, and its service life is extended by more than 50% compared to ordinary equipment.
Considering the continuous production requirements of sauce production, this sterilization pot is equipped with an intelligent control system that can preset over 100 sterilization process parameters. Operators only need to select the corresponding sauce category, and the equipment can automatically complete the entire process of heating, heat - preservation, and pressure - reduction, and display key data in real - time. The system also has a fault self - diagnosis and alarm function, which can promptly detect problems such as abnormal temperature and pressure fluctuations and automatically stop to protect the equipment, minimizing production risks. According to the client's feedback, after using this equipment, the sterilization pass rate of sauce products has increased from the original 92% to 99.8%, the shelf - life has been extended from 6 months to 12 months, and the color, aroma, and taste of the products have been effectively preserved.
In addition to the performance advantages of the equipment itself, Cookimech's professional performance in certification services is a key highlight of this cooperation. The ASME certification, as an internationally recognized safety standard for pressure vessels, has extremely strict requirements for the design, materials, and manufacturing processes of equipment. The DOSH certification, on the other hand, is a mandatory audit by the Malaysian government for the safe operation of industrial equipment. To help the client successfully pass the dual certifications, Cookimech has strictly adhered to the ASME BPVC code since the equipment design stage and dispatched senior engineers to communicate with the client's technical team throughout the process:
Ultimately, this sterilization pot completed the ASME certification and DOSH registration in only 45 days, which is 30% shorter than the industry - average cycle, saving the client a significant amount of time and cost. "Cookimech not only provides equipment with excellent performance but also uses professional certification services to help us clear the market - access barriers," said the person in charge of the Malaysian sauce enterprise. "Now our products can not only meet the strict requirements of the local market but also give us the confidence to enter international markets such as Singapore and Australia, which have higher food - safety standards."
Cosen Zhang, the general manager of Cookimech, emphasized: "The value of food machinery and equipment lies not only in improving production efficiency but also in building a compliant production system for clients. We have been deeply engaged in the food machinery field for many years and understand the importance of international certifications for enterprises to expand their markets. In the future, Cookimech will continue to strengthen its capabilities in international certification services such as ASME, CE, and DOSH, and provide more overseas clients with a one - stop solution of 'equipment + certification + service' to contribute to the high - quality development of the global food industry."
The success of this cooperation not only demonstrates Cookimech's technical strength in the field of food sterilization equipment but also reflects its deep understanding of overseas market standards and local - service capabilities. With the continuous growth of the food industry in Southeast Asia, Cookimech will further increase its investment in this region and provide more clients like the Malaysian sauce enterprise with customized, cost - effective food machinery and equipment and services.
