Instant meals like soup, noodle or rice dishes are enjoying increasing popularity. This type of catering has become especially prominent in Asian countries, where people eat a lot of small meals each day. An enormous industry has grown up around the production and sale of the most diverse dishes. A huge market has also developed for the paper cups and paper bowls needed for this. Tai Bao Paper Co. Ltd. in Chogquing is this sector's largest company in Western China. It supplies China's most important producer of instant noodles, Master Kong Food Group. Besides this though, Tai Bao also produces for the international market.

Automation ensures consistent quality and saves personnel costs. For example, one plastics technician could be saved for each injection moulding machine thanks to automated hot air deburring of thermoplastic parts. The hot air components from Leister Process Technologies automatically regulate process parameters, such as temperatures and application time of the hot air jet – precisely and comprehensibly. This shows a positive effect in the profitability calculation.
The new filling plant of the established Swiss drinks producer «Elmer Citro» achieves a capacity of up to 20000 bottles per hour.

The Achievement
A Tier 2 supplier to the automotive industry improved their production line with a STANMECH deflashing system. The Challenge A company providing parts to a firm that serves an auto assembly plant had a short area of flash that had to be taken off their product. The flash had been manually removed by propane torch, but the company wanted to replicate the deflashing system their sister facility had set up in Europe. They wanted the product to be deflashed as it left the moulding machine, still being held by the robot arm. The deflash control had to be interfaced into their existing line process. The Achievement
