Hello! Welcome to our
channel. In today's episode, we will take you behind the scenes to
discover how field-harvested carrots are processed in the factory.
Let's dive right in!
Carrots thrive in loose, well-drained soil.
A carrot planter machine typically prepares the ground by removing rocks and debris and then
tilling the land to create a fine texture.
Carrot seeds are sown in rows, ensuring proper spacing to allow room
for growth and easy harvesting.
Once the carrots have reached maturity, they
are ready to be harvested. Harvesting equipment, such as carrot harvesters, is used to
collect the crops efficiently.
These machines are specifically designed
to gently lift the carrots from the soil without causing damage.
The carrot harvesters are equipped with picking mechanisms, typically rotating
belts or blades with rubber flanges. As the machine moves forward, these belts gently lift
the carrots from the ground, while the flanges prevent them from rolling back. This process
ensures a clean and efficient harvest.
After the carrots are lifted from the soil, the
machine employs various separation techniques to remove excess soil and any green
parts, such as leaves or stems.
Conveyor belts and vibrating screens
are used to shake off the loose soil, while air blowers effectively
remove lighter debris.
Once the carrots are separated from the soil and
plant debris, they are carefully transferred from the harvesting machine to the tractors.
These tractors transport the freshly harvested carrots from the field to the
factory for further processing.
Upon arrival at the factory, the trucks carrying the harvested carrots
are unloaded outside the Factory.
The carrots are then stored in designated
containers that are positioned along a conveyor belt, forming an organized
line for efficient processing.
Forklifts are utilized to transport
the containers filled with carrots to the washing room of the factory.
This ensures a smooth and timely flow of the product through various
stages of the processing line.
In the washing room, the carrots undergo
a thorough cleaning process.
Carrots are removed from their containers
and placed in a tank filled with water to remove sand and soil layers and clean them.
Specialized machines are used, which employ
a combination of water jets and rotating brushes to remove dirt, debris, and any remaining
traces of soil from the carrots' surface.
These specialized machines are
highly efficient and ensure that the carrots are thoroughly cleaned.
The water jets create a powerful force that dislodges any stubborn dirt particles,
while the rotating brushes gently scrub away any remaining traces of soil.
This meticulous cleaning process guarantees that the carrots are free from any impurities.
The use of these advanced machines not only saves time and effort but also maintains the
quality and freshness of the carrots.
To maintain the freshness and extend the shelf
life of the carrots, they are treated with a warm water and medicine mixture.
This treatment helps to release any remaining bacteria, ensuring that the
carrots stay fresh for longer.
Additionally, the warm water and medicine
mixture also aids in preserving the vibrant color and crisp texture of the carrots.
Eliminating harmful bacteria minimizes the risk of spoilage and maintains
their nutritional value.
This innovative technology not only enhances
the overall quality of the carrots but also provides consumers with a longer window to enjoy
their natural sweetness and earthy flavor.
Moreover, this treatment process aligns
with modern food safety standards, ensuring that the carrots reach consumers
in a safe and healthy condition.
Then the carrots are put on the line of
the sorting room through the steel net conveyor where the carrots pass through
the line in front of the workers.
The workers separate the carrots
according to their size and place them in individual containers.
Skilled workers meticulously remove any damaged or discolored carrots, ensuring only
the finest specimens make it to market.
This meticulous process guarantees that
only the best carrots reach our tables, providing us with a fresh and flavorful
addition to our meals.
Then, the carrots are sent to the cutting
line. In the cutting line, a special machine is used to cut the tops of carrots.
Additionally, the green part of carrots, such as the top of the leaf, is
removed by this machine.
The machine efficiently separates the green
parts from the edible parts of the carrot, resulting in a clean and ready-to-use product.
After cutting the carrots, they are
transported to the washing station.
Then these carrots are put inside
a water tank through a conveyor.
Here, they undergo a thorough cleaning
process to remove any dirt or impurities. Carrots are care washed and rinsed multiple
times to ensure optimal cleanliness.
Once cleaned, the carrots move to the
cutting area. Where Carrots are further processed based on their intended use.
They are cut by machine into specific pieces, such as sticks or cubes. This process
adds versatility to the final product, as the carrots can be conveniently used in
a variety of culinary applications.
On the other hand, some cleaned carrots
are directed to a different process. They are fed into a grinding machine, which
grinds them to a fine consistency.
The resulting minced carrots
are then placed in large bowls, ready to be used in dishes where a fine
texture is desired, such as salads or sauces. After that, the packaging starts.
In the factory packing room, the whole carrots are carefully inspected for
quality and sorted according to size.
Each worker diligently places the carrots
into sturdy paper boxes, ensuring that they are neatly arranged and properly aligned.
The workers handle each carrot with precision and care, making sure to avoid any damage or
bruising during the packing process.
Once a box is filled, it is sealed securely to
maintain freshness and prevent any contamination, and they are labeled with essential
information such as the type of carrots packed, their weight, and expiration dates.
Some carrots are packed in polythene packets and the air is removed from the polythene
by machine so that the carrots stay fresh for a long time and no bacteria can grow.
This packaging method ensures that the carrots remain crisp and flavorful, maintaining
their natural color and texture.
By removing the air, the polythene packets create
a protective barrier against moisture and oxygen, preventing spoilage and extending
the shelf life of the carrots.
Now all the carrots are ready
for sale in the market.
And there you have it! We hope you enjoyed
