After more than a month of picking, 150,000 acres of honeysuckle in Tongwei County have been harvested. At present, Tongwei County Qingliangyuan Honeysuckle Industry Poverty Alleviation and Development Co., Ltd. is drying, screening and extracting more than 10 million tons of honeysuckle flowers purchased to further extend the honeysuckle industry chain and improve the added value and scale efficiency of the honeysuckle industry.
Honeysuckle not only has a short flowering period, but also tends to deteriorate, and if the freshly picked honeysuckle is not dried in time, it will quickly rot due to moisture. In order to prevent honeysuckle from being damp and rotting, Tongwei County has built 12 drying and processing workshops in honeysuckle planting towns. The township processing workshop will send the dried honeysuckle to Tongwei County Honeysuckle Health Industrial Park for the next step of color sorting and extraction.
Since the beginning of large-scale harvesting of honeysuckle, the color sorting workshop of Tongwei County Honeysuckle Health Industrial Park has been in a working state, the color sorter is running continuously, and five or six workers are busy around the machine.
Screening is the second process in the primary processing of honeysuckle, which is extremely crucial. Honeysuckle color sorter is a special equipment for honeysuckle sorting, which accurately and quickly sorts out the yellow stripes, leaves, impurities, etc. in honeysuckle through photoelectric color sorting technology, and finally screens out different grades of honeysuckle. The color sorting workshop of Tongwei County Honeysuckle Health Industrial Park can screen about 10 tons of dried flowers every day.
Chen Yao, executive deputy general manager of Tongwei Qingliangyuan Honeysuckle Industry Poverty Alleviation and Development Co., Ltd., said: "After color selection, the special grade and first grade in the dried flowers will be sold as raw materials for Chinese herbal medicine for direct use by pharmaceutical factories; The second and third grades will be directly entered into the extraction workshop for the processing of deep products, and the extracted raw solution will be canned by the daily chemical plant according to the proportion. ”
The daily chemical production workshop is to carry out canning production after the extracted stock solution is proportioned according to the proportion. At present, the daily chemical production workshop is producing 50ml deodorant spray. A bottle of deodorant spray is completed after multiple processes such as bottle blowing, dispensing, canning, capping, labeling, cartoning, coding, packaging, and packing. Guo Jinxia, an employee, is mainly responsible for the operation of the cartoning machine, she stays on the assembly line, her eyes are glued to the products that slide over the assembly line, and if she finds a problematic box, she quickly takes it out, so as not to block the production behind.
Guo Jinxia said: "I used to work in China Telecom, but I couldn't take care of my children because I had to go to the countryside. You can commute to work here normally, you can watch the doll do your homework, the treatment is also better, and the five insurances and one housing fund are paid, which is very good. ”
Honeysuckle has become the leading industry in Tongwei County to help farmers increase income. In order to promote the development and growth of the honeysuckle industry, Tongwei County seized the opportunity of cooperation between the east and the west, built the Jiaozhou Tongwei Honeysuckle Health Industrial Park, built a color sorting plant, a refinery, a daily chemical plant, a scientific research building, and a comprehensive warehouse, and supported 1 honeysuckle refining production line and 1 lotion production line, developed 18 honeysuckle series derivative products, registered 5 "Qingliangyuan" trademarks, formulated 10 local standards, and gradually developed and formed upstream scientific research institutions stationed in R&D and cultivation of seedlings, cooperatives to drive farmers to plant and pick. The leading enterprises in the midstream drive the drying and processing of cooperatives, and the leading enterprises in the downstream connect with the integrated development chain of market research and development and production of new products, so as to realize the deep integration and mutual development of the "three industries".
At present, the county's planting area has reached 150,000 mu, with an annual output of more than 15,000 tons of flowers, and the whole industrial chain form of "one base and two parks" integrating seedling breeding, standardized planting, township primary processing and industrial park deep processing has been built.
