Step into The TSY Canned Food Factory

Lock in the natural flavor of the sun - Step into the TSY Canned Food factory

In this fast-paced era, the significance of food has long transcended the mere purpose of filling one's stomach. It is a source of energy, a solace, and even more so, a yearning for one's homeland when far away from home. Among all the arts of food preservation, canned food is undoubtedly one of the greatest inventions - it uses iron sheets and glass to lock in the moment when crops are at their fullest and most brilliant on the branches.

In the beautiful city of Yunfu, Guangdong Province, there is a modern food factory dedicated to "preserving freshness" - the TSY Canned Food Factory. Since its establishment in 2000, TSY has been deeply engaged in the research and development and production of canned fruits and vegetables, especially the three core product systems of pineapple canned food, mushroom canned food and corn canned food. We are not only the "reserve force" of Chinese dining tables, but also the "Oriental flavor" in global kitchens.

This article will take you into the TSY canned food factory, decoding the craftsmanship story behind each can of TSY product from the source of raw materials, production processes, quality control to corporate culture in all aspects.

Chapter One: Company Profile - The "Canned Food Expert" for Steady Development

1. Factory silhouette

The full name of the TSY canned food factory is Guangdong Tasty food company. It is located in Guangdong Province, China, and the factory covers an area of 18,000 square meters. Since its establishment in 2000, TSY has gone through nearly 26 years of glorious journey. We are a comprehensive food processing enterprise integrating the planting, research and development, production and sales of agricultural products, with an annual comprehensive production capacity of up to 30,000 tons.

At present, the factory has 5 modern high-speed production lines and a total of 100 employees, among whom experienced technicians and quality control personnel account for more than 5%. With the geographical advantage of being located in the southeast coastal area, we radiate the national and even global markets, and are committed to becoming an internationally renowned supplier of canned fruits and vegetables.

2. Core positioning

TSY's positioning is clear and firm: to be a "trinity" expert in canned food.

Pineapple Expert: Focusing on tropical charm, from the sea of pineapples to your dining table;

Mushroom Expert: Carefully selected mid-temperate mushroom clusters, preserving the delicacies of the forest;

Corn expert: Lock in the sweet aroma freshly picked from the fields and create golden grain cans.

Chapter Two: Golden Production Areas and Raw Material Philosophy - Good Cans Are "Grown"

TSY firmly believes that high-quality canned food does not come from workshops but from the land. To ensure the high quality of our products from the source, we have broken away from the traditional role of food processing plants merely as "processors" and actively extended upstream, establishing an industrialized operation model of "enterprise + base + farmers".

1.Pineapple Base: A gift from the "Sea of Pineapples"

The raw materials for our canned pineapples are mainly selected from the famous tropical fruit-growing areas. The climate here is mild and rainy, and the soil is fertile and loose. The pineapples produced here have golden flesh, are juicy, sweet, have fine fibers and a rich aroma.

TSY has thousands of acres of standardized pineapple planting bases in its overseas bases in Leizhou Peninsula, Hainan and the Philippines. We strictly control the picking time and insist on manual picking of pineapples when they are 80% ripe to ensure that the fruits have the best sugar-acid ratio. This not only guarantees the sweet and smooth taste of the finished product but also retains the unique slightly sour flavor of pineapples, which is refreshing and appetizing.

2. Mushroom Base: The white fairies in the forest

Canned mushrooms are most particular about being "fresh and tender". All the mushroom raw materials of TSY are sourced from core production areas of edible fungi at high altitudes, such as Fujian, Jiangsu and Yunnan. We have established a strategic partnership with a local large-scale mushroom cultivation cooperative and adopt factory-style standard mushroom houses for cultivation, strictly controlling temperature, humidity and light.

This kind of mushroom grown in a standardized way has a round shape, a pure white color and thick flesh. From picking to processing in the factory, we promise no more than [X] hours to minimize the oxidation and Browning of mushrooms in the air, ensuring that each mushroom is as smooth as freshly picked after opening the can.

3. Corn base: Golden and sweet at 45° north latitude

For canned sweet corn, TSY only selects high-quality non-GMO sweet corn varieties. Our corn planting belt is located in the golden corn belt of Hebei/Heilongjiang/Guangxi. Here, there is abundant sunlight and a large temperature difference between day and night, which is conducive to the accumulation of sugar.

During the golden window period after corn pollination, TSY initiated large-scale harvesting. At this point, the corn kernels are full of water content and have reached their peak sugar content. When you take a bite, it seems as if you can feel the burst of corn juice overflowing in your mouth.

Chapter Three: Modern Production - The Integration of Technology and Craftsmanship

Entering the production workshop of TSY canned food factory, you will find that it is completely different from the traditional impression of a "smoke-filled" workshop. Instead, there are bright and clean floors, fully automatic assembly lines running at high speed, and skilled workers in sterile suits working intently.

The TSY workshop is strictly designed in accordance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and SSOP (Hygienic Standard Operating Procedures), with air cleanliness reaching the 100,000-level standard.

Core production process flow

Raw material screening (Strictly controlling the first step

All raw materials entering the factory must undergo a "triple physical examination" : The first one is rapid pesticide residue testing; The second step is the manual selection table, which removes substandard products that are infested with insects, mechanically damaged or moldy. The third level is hierarchical screening. For instance, pineapples are graded based on their size and maturity, while mushrooms are classified into whole mushrooms, sliced mushrooms and crushed mushrooms according to their diameter.

Pre-treatment (Ingenious design

Pineapple: Through an advanced computer-controlled directional slicer, the pineapple is peeled, perforated, and then cut into smooth and flat round slices, fan pieces or small pieces. The unique "trimming" process of TSY is carried out by skilled female workers holding small knives to remove any residual fruit fibers, ensuring a perfect appearance.

Mushrooms: A continuous spiral cleaning machine is used. Through the gentle tumbling of water flow, the mud and sand are gently washed away without damaging the surface of the mushrooms.

Corn: The corn silk and impurities are removed by a high-pressure blower and a blower cleaning machine. Then, the corn is precisely threshed by a scraper to ensure the integrity of the corn kernels.

Filling and liquid injection (Precise measurement)

The fully automatic weighing and filling machine fills solid substances into the tank with extremely high precision. Then, the machine injects the pre-prepared soup. For pineapples, filtered sugar water is injected. For mushrooms, it is clear salt water with added salt and citric acid. For corn, a light sugar water is used to enhance its original flavor.

Vacuum sealing (Key to freshness retention

This is the core of the canning process. TSY uses a high-speed fully automatic vacuum can sealer to complete the sealing the moment the air inside the can is removed. This step creates a vacuum state inside the tank, not only blocking the entry of external bacteria but also preventing the oxidation and discoloration of the fruit flesh during high-temperature steaming.

High-temperature sterilization (commercial sterility)

The sealed cans enter a huge horizontal high-pressure sterilizer. TSY adopts an advanced PLC fully automatic sterilization control system, setting different sterilization formulas (temperature, time, back pressure) according to the material characteristics of each product. For instance, canned meat or low-acid mushrooms require higher temperatures and longer durations. At a high temperature of 121℃, all pathogenic bacteria and their spores in the can are completely eliminated. Meanwhile, as the vacuum isolates the external air, the food in the can can be preserved for a long time without adding any preservatives.

Drying, packaging and storage

After sterilization, the cans are cooled and dried to remove moisture. The automatic inkjet printer sprays the production date and batch number on the bottom of the cans (ensuring full traceability throughout the process). Subsequently, it is packaged, palletized and sent to the finished product warehouse to wait for leaving the factory.
