Kitchen Appliance Factory Tour: 9 Stations<\/h1>\n

Walk the plant in Shipai, Dongguan \u2014 mould shop, injection, motor winding, five assembly lines,
\nthe QC lab and the loading bay \u2014 with the export and QC managers alongside you. If you cannot fly in, the same
\nkitchen appliance factory tour runs as a live video walk-through.<\/p>\n

25,000 m\u00b2 plant<\/span>5 production lines<\/span>62 machines<\/span>~300 staff<\/span>600,000 units per month<\/span>since 2012<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Nine stations you can inspect on the day<\/h2>\n

A kitchen appliance factory tour only tells you something if you see the stations where defects are created, not just the finished units. This is the route we walk, in this order, with the record available at each stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Station<\/th>\nWhat you will see<\/th>\nRecord you can ask for<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
1. Raw material warehouse<\/td>\nWhere motors, ABS granules, stainless strip and packaging are received and held per lot \u2014 the point where incoming inspection starts.<\/td>\nIQC sample area, material certificates on file<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2. Mould workshop<\/td>\nIn-house mould storage and maintenance. Ask how many sets are held for the models you buy and how a mould change is verified.<\/td>\nMould register, change-over record<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3. CNC machining<\/td>\nMachining of inserts and fixtures used on the assembly line, so a worn fixture is replaced rather than compensated for.<\/td>\nFixture maintenance log<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4. Injection workshop<\/td>\nMachine list and tonnage, cycle times and the shell colour check against the approved sample.<\/td>\nInjection parameter sheet, colour sample<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5. Motor winding<\/td>\nWinding, armature assembly and the motor test bench \u2014 the station that decides whether a unit survives a year of kitchen use.<\/td>\nMotor test data per batch<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
6. Electronic workshop<\/td>\nPCB assembly and switch assemblies, with functional test before the boards go to the line.<\/td>\nBoard test record<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
7. Assembly lines<\/td>\nFive lines running to a BOM per model, torque-fixed stations and the hourly pull for function testing.<\/td>\nLine check sheet, torque settings<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
8. QA and QC test lab<\/td>\nHipot, power, torque, life-cycle, salt-spray, drop test and moisture checks \u2014 the equipment behind the inspection reports.<\/td>\nTest reports per model<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
9. Loading and shipping<\/td>\nPacking, carton drop test, quantity check against the packing list and container loading photos before sealing.<\/td>\nPre-shipment inspection report<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

How a container order runs after the visit<\/h2>\n

The visit is the start of a process, not a sales appointment. These are the six steps a bulk order follows from the first brief to the sealed container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Step<\/th>\nWhat happens<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
1. Brief<\/td>\nMarket, volume, target retail price, branding and certification scope agreed in writing.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2. Sampling<\/td>\nSamples in 5-7 working days; the sample fee is credited against the bulk order.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3. Tooling and artwork<\/td>\nShell colour, logo position, rating label, carton artwork and manual language proofed and signed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4. Production<\/td>\n30-35 days after deposit and approved artwork, with in-line inspection throughout the run.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5. Final inspection<\/td>\nAQL sampling to MIL-STD-105E, plus third-party inspection if you appoint an agency.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
6. Loading<\/td>\nContainer loading, photos shared, documents issued and the shipment booked on your terms.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Three ways to do the visit<\/h2>\n
