Semi Automatic Packing Machine, Rolled Rice Noodles, Production ProcessAbstract
The project team conducted a study of the rice noodle production process at Sinthawee Roi Et Limited Partnership and found that there were issues with the current production method. The existing process relied on manual labor for filling and sealing the bags, which caused production delays, resulting in products that lacked the desired quality and efficiency, and were insufficient to meet customer demand. Therefore, the team proposed the design and construction of a semi–automatic noodle packaging machine to assist in the packaging process, aiming to increase production to meet market needs. The results showed that the evaluation of the seal quality from the developed machine revealed that 98% of the seals were of good quality, and 96% were of proper size. The machine also showed improved performance: while the standard time for the original manual process was 44.44 seconds per bag equivalent to 650 bags per day. the new machine reduced the packaging time to 31.15 seconds per bag, allowing for 880 bags per day. The number of process steps was reduced by five, a reduction of 55.56%. The production rate increased by 230 bags per day. Therefore, compared to the original method, the production rate increased by 35.38%.
