As a globally renowned giant in the grain, oil, and food processing industry, Wilmar International has been deeply rooted in the Chinese market for many years. It has established a comprehensive industrial layout covering a wide range of product categories, including rice, flour, edible oils, coarse grains, and seasonings, and enjoys absolute advantages in quality control, large-scale production, and channel development. In recent years, as the concept of healthy consumption has taken deep root in people’s minds, buckwheat—rich in dietary fiber and highly nutritious—has become a popular choice in the coarse-grain market. Seizing this trend, Wilmar International has stepped up its investment in the deep-processing segment of buckwheat and urgently needed specialized processing equipment capable of handling a daily capacity of 80 tons while ensuring precise quality control and efficient operation. With nearly three decades of experience in R&D of coarse-grain processing equipment, more than 100 large-scale production line construction projects under its belt, and profound technical expertise in buckwheat processing, Lushan Win Tone Engineering Technology Co., Ltd stood out from numerous bidding companies and was selected as the core equipment supplier and general contractor for this project.
This 80-ton-per-day buckwheat production line is specially tailored to Yihai Kerry’s high-end mixed-grain product strategy. It integrates multiple core patented technologies from Lushan Win Tone Engineering Technology Co., Ltd and features a fully automated control system that combines “intelligent grading pre-processing, precise hulling and impurity removal, and diversified advanced processing.” The line covers the entire process—from buckwheat cleaning and grading to stone removal, hulling, skin removal, grinding, finished-product sorting, aseptic packaging, and byproduct recovery. The production line can flexibly accommodate both sweet and bitter buckwheat varieties, producing a diverse range of products—including buckwheat rice, buckwheat flour, and buckwheat flakes—according to demand. It meets the needs of various applications, such as ready-to-eat foods, baking ingredients, and culinary toppings. With just 4–5 operators, the line can run continuously for 24 hours, reducing labor costs by more than 60% compared to traditional processing methods and boosting overall production efficiency threefold. This perfectly aligns with Yihai Kerry’s requirements for large-scale, standardized production management and control.

Addressing the industry’s key challenges—such as the fragility of buckwheat during hulling and the difficulty of achieving both high product purity and excellent taste—this production line is equipped with a custom-designed YQT-8 buckwheat-specific hulling unit developed by Lushan Win Tone Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. The line employs a scientifically optimized process that first sorts the buckwheat by size before hulling, followed by gentle low-temperature milling. Even under full-load operation at 80 tons per day, the hulling rate remains consistently above 98%, the whole-grain yield exceeds 85%, and the yield of buckwheat flour can be precisely controlled between 65% and 70%. Moreover, the impurity content is kept below 0.3%. This process not only maximizes the preservation of buckwheat’s natural nutrients and original flavor but also rigorously meets Yihai Kerry’s stringent quality control standards for premium products. Additionally, the production line features flexible upgrade capabilities, enabling rapid adjustments to product specifications in response to market demands and providing robust support for Yihai Kerry’s ability to adapt swiftly to changes in consumer preferences.

In terms of process design, the production line fully aligns with Wilmar International’s core principles of green manufacturing and intelligent management. It adopts an integrated solution featuring “intelligent temperature control + closed-loop dust removal + by-product recycling,” effectively addressing issues such as dust pollution and nutrient loss during large-scale processing. The line fully complies with national green factory standards and food processing hygiene regulations. Moreover, the production line can seamlessly integrate into Wilmar International Group’s intelligent production management system, enabling data visualization and traceability throughout the entire processing workflow, thereby helping the company achieve precise control over production processes and enhance quality-control efficiency. “Lushan Win Tone Engineering Technology Co., Ltd’s customized solution precisely matched our requirements for capacity and product quality for an 80-ton-per-day buckwheat processing line,” said a relevant official from Wilmar International’s Coarse Grains Division. After the project goes into operation, the annual buckwheat processing capacity will reach 24,000 tons, further perfecting the group’s layout of the coarse grains industry chain. The resulting products will be available through supermarkets, e-commerce platforms, and catering channels nationwide.
As a high-tech enterprise integrating engineering design, R&D, manufacturing, installation and commissioning, and after-sales maintenance services, Lushan Win Tone Engineering Technology Co., Ltd leverages the Henan Province Corn and Coarse Grain Complete Sets Engineering Technology Research Center to build a comprehensive R&D and service system for high-end equipment. The company holds 32 national patents, and its equipment has been widely adopted in major coarse grain production areas across China as well as in more than 40 countries and regions overseas. In this collaboration with Yihai Kerry, Lushan Win Tone Engineering Technology Co., Ltd has established a dedicated service team to provide end-to-end coordination covering equipment R&D and manufacturing, site layout optimization, inter-regional transportation, installation and commissioning, technical training, and after-sales maintenance. Strictly adhering to Yihai Kerry’s global production standards, the team has efficiently advanced the project’s implementation and earned high recognition from its partner.
The successful collaboration between Lushan Win Tone Engineering Technology Co., Ltd and Yihai Kerry, which has resulted in an 80-ton-per-day buckwheat processing line, represents a powerful partnership between China’s grain-processing equipment manufacturers and leading food companies. This collaboration sets a benchmark for the mixed-grain processing industry by emphasizing “high-end, intelligent, and large-scale” cooperation. Looking ahead, Lushan Win Tone Engineering Technology Co., Ltd will take this partnership as an opportunity to continue deepening its expertise in high-end mixed-grain processing equipment, focusing on the needs of leading enterprises and industrial upgrades.
