Reacting to Increasing South Korean Standards within the Egg Industry

Investing in an advanced, high-quality grader allowed NH Pocheon to meet high biosecurity demands in South Korea, while still increasing production speed.

About NH Pocheon
NH Pocheon was established and supported by government funding in order to grade and pack more than 1.000.000 million eggs per day as one of the EPC (egg processing centers) within the country. As a member of NACF, they support stable egg production as well as sales for their members of layer farmers. Providing fresh and safe eggs fast to the end consumer is of utmost importance to the company.

Due to the fact that they are located in South Korea, where there are extremely high egg production standards, mainly in terms of biosecurity, finding a machine that can comply completely with these regulations, while simultaneously not slowing down production time was a requirement from NH Pocheon when looking for a new grader and packing system.

Decision of Machinery
“It was important to us that not only was the grading and packing system user friendly, but also hygienic, in order to comply with biosecurity regulations. The SANOVO Grader was all these things and also extendable for future technicians to work on, making it a safe long-term investment. More specifically, the grader is supplied with more precise and reliable detectors and consumes less water, ensuring an extremely optimized operation. It is also easy to manage the data of each farm.

The machinery is one thing, but the service aspect serves as an addition, which led to our decision being finalized. The official SANOVO distributor K.I system provides a much better service than competitors with a consistent service program and high-quality personnel. We were considering several different machines from various companies, some more popular than others, however, due to the SANOVO Grader’s advanced quality and performance, combined with a better service through K.I system, we chose SANOVO TECHNOLOGY GROUP as our egg equipment supplier.”

Result
“After having operated with a SANOVO Grader and packing system for a period, we can so far conclude that we are very satisfied with its performance and especially the speed of the packing. We feel confident that we made the right decision for this long-term investment. This is an advanced machine with a strong focus on biosecurity, and we are confident that we will always receive the high-quality maintenance we need.”
