Chopsticks are our Chinese dietary tools, usually made of bamboo, wood, bone, porcelain, ivory, metal, plastic and other materials.
It is one of the most commonly used tableware in the world and one of the symbols of the Chinese catering culture.
It was invented in China and spread to the Korean Peninsula, Japan, Vietnam, and other Chinese character cultural circles.
Food Chinese are used to chopsticks, while people in Africa, the Middle East, Indonesia, and the Indian subcontinent grab it with their fingers. Most people respect such eating habits.
With the continuous development of China's economy, chopsticks have changed from "long-lived chopsticks" to disposable chopsticks in restaurants.
Use disposable chopsticks once, also known as "convenient chopsticks"
Disposable chopsticks bring convenience, but also cause many problems.
For example forest destruction, unsanitary low-quality wood, etc.
Chopsticks Today I'm going to show you how factories produce disposable chopsticks.
Forests, these strong trees, will be cut down one after another with the footsteps of early spring.
Do you notice the love of trees?
High-temperature cooking is the first way to cut woodblocks.
High-temperature cooking of wood in brine to remove impurities and degrease
The soaking temperature can be controlled in the range of 70-90 C and the soaking time is about 8 hours. Besides degreasing, it also has a bleaching effect. After degreasing, wood needs to be rinsed with clear water to avoid yellowing of the board surface.
Make the wood stronger, prevent cracking, and facilitate the treatment of the later process.
Polishing slices place the high-temperature cooked wood on the conveyor belt in turn and grind at the bottom.
After the bottom of the polishing is finished, the wood is fixed to the cutting machine. The cutting machine cuts the wood into regular sheets.
Before chopsticks are formed, the cut blocks need to be placed regularly on the assembly line.
After the rule placement is completed, the wood will go into the stamping stage along with the assembly line, that is, the forming stage of chopsticks.
Punching directly has the mold forming, the mold casually punching iron, punching wood board is more skillful.
After the punching is finished, the worker picks out the defective and burr parts by hand.
Every hundred pairs of chopsticks are tied together in the packaging process
How to tie up a pair of 100 pairs? Someone must have said that you can weigh, or use the most clumsy way to count. In fact, otherwise, today we will show you the anti-dull tooling in the factory. Anti-dull means to prevent mistakes, and workers can not make mistakes.
Firstly, the worker puts the chopsticks into the designed die, and the width of each cell of the die is the same as that of the chopsticks.
A pair of chopsticks were rubbed into each passage by hand
The number of rubbing die designs is 100 sets.
Then the worker will lift the mold.
Pick up the chopsticks and tie them with rubber bands.
