Wuhan Liangzhilong Catering Expo 2025: Addressing Customer Pain Points & Engineering Productivity — A Review by Zhucheng Qiangda Machinery

Zhucheng Qiangda Machinery Factory, a leading name in food processing equipment, successfully concluded its participation in the Wuhan Liangzhilong Catering Expo (Liangzhilong China Food Festival) in March 2025.
As one of the most influential events for the prepared-food, central kitchen, and food supply chain industries in China, this expo allowed Qiangda Machinery to pursue a clear mission: not merely showcasing machinery, but delivering real, practical solutions that enhance efficiency, ensure batch consistency, and elevate production reliability.

The User Perspective: Understanding Real Production Challenges

The Liangzhilong Expo attracts tens of thousands of professional visitors—operators of central kitchens, ready-meal manufacturers, frozen-food plants, and ingredient suppliers.
From our conversations at the booth, it became clear that visitors were not simply looking for equipment specifications. They came seeking solutions to urgent operational challenges:

• Labor Strain
  How can rising labor costs and workforce instability be effectively mitigated?

• Consistency Bottlenecks
  How can factories guarantee absolute flavor and quality uniformity across batches?

• Efficiency Breakthroughs
  How to significantly boost production output without compromising quality or safety?

• Compliance & Modernization
  How to transition safely from manual production to automated, compliant operations?

To answer these needs, Qiangda designed its booth as a “miniature factory workshop”—a visualized workflow where visitors could see how individual machines form a complete processing line, covering raw material handling, cutting, cooking, cooling, mixing, and packaging.
This helped customers understand the true meaning of a total solution provider.

Exhibition Highlights: Star Equipment That Solves Real Industrial Problems

Among the full range of equipment we showcased, several machines stood out due to their strong ability to solve real-world manufacturing pain points:

1. Vacuum Cooking Kettle

Core Insight:
For sauce, filling, and prepared-food manufacturers, flavor consistency is a top priority—requiring highly precise temperature and mixing control.

Customer Value:

• Vacuum environment enables accurate temperature management

• Ensures uniform heating and faster, deeper flavor development

• Greatly reduces inconsistencies caused by manual stirring

• Ideal for large-scale, repeated-batch production

2. Integrated Vegetable Washing & Cutting Line

Core Insight:
Customers often struggle with manual washing hygiene risks and inconsistent cutting sizes, which affect visual quality and cost control.

Customer Value:

• Combines bubble washing, high-pressure rinsing, and multi-functional cutting

• Delivers high-volume, high-hygiene processing

• Ensures uniform product size

• Meets stringent food safety standards

• Perfect for central kitchens and frozen-vegetable plants

3. High-Efficiency Air-Drying / Dewatering Machine

Core Insight:
Excess surface moisture increases microbial risk and slows down frying or packaging steps.

Customer Value:

• Air-knife technology removes surface water quickly and safely

• Reduces contamination risks

• Boosts downstream production speed

• Essential for frying, drying, and freezing workflows

4. Automatic Seasoning / Mixing Machine (Tumbler)

Core Insight:
Even seasoning is crucial for prepared meats and mixed vegetables, but manual mixing may damage product texture and cause uneven flavor.

Customer Value:

• Achieves perfect seasoning distribution

• Protects delicate product structures

• Enhances batch flavor consistency

• Reduces labor intensity and improves efficiency
