Indonesia is one of the fastest-growing snack markets in Southeast Asia. To keep pace with market developments, many traditional manufacturers are upgrading from manual seasoning and frying methods to automated food-processing equipment.
This case study focuses on how an Indonesian snack manufacturer improved production efficiency and expanded its production line by investing in a high-performance drum seasoning machine.
The client is a medium-sized snack factory located on Java Island, Indonesia. The company mainly produces fried snacks, including cassava chips, banana chips, flavored potato chips, and spicy peanuts.
Initially, seasoning was done manually after frying, which resulted in:
Frequent oil changes due to oil contamination issues increase costs. With increasing export orders, the factory needed a more efficient and standardized production system.
In addition to the drum seasoning machine, the customer also purchased a vacuum oil filter system.
It not only helps remove food residue from frying oil, thus extending its lifespan and reducing oil consumption costs, but also improves the taste of the final product, reduces greasiness, and facilitates subsequent seasoning.
For fried food factories operating daily, oil management is crucial for maintaining product quality and profit margins.
After installation and testing, the factory successfully integrated these two machines with its existing production line, achieving remarkable success:
The upgraded production line enabled the company to secure larger distribution contracts in Indonesia and Malaysia, and our clients have already begun planning new production initiatives.
This upgrade of an Indonesian snack factory demonstrates that suitable food processing equipment can transform traditional fried snack production into a standardized, scalable, and profitable model.
