Automated Rice Snack Production Line in Uzbekistan: A Government-Verified HG Case Study


HG designed, manufactured, installed, and commissioned a fully automated rice snack production line for Rice Snack Food in Yangiyo'l District, Tashkent Region, Uzbekistan. The line is now in commercial operation, turning out extruded rice snacks on an enclosed, automated production line — and unlike most overseas equipment case studies, the results here weren't just reported by the supplier.

They were independently confirmed by the Yangiyo'l District Administration Information Service, the local government's official information channel, in a public report

HG's delivery, stage by stage

As a turnkey rice snack machinery supplier, HG's scope on this project covered the full lifecycle — from process engineering to after-sales support — giving the customer a single point of accountability for the entire automated production line.

1.Production Line Design & Process Engineering

HG's engineering team designed the line around the customer's target product, required output, and site conditions in Yangiyo'l — covering process flow, equipment configuration, and factory layout. The result is the enclosed, automated rice snack production line that the district administration's report later described as the first fully automated line of its kind in Central Asia

This regional distinction matters for buyers evaluating automated snack food equipment in Central Asia and neighboring markets: it's an independent characterization of a system HG designed and built, not a claim HG makes about itself.

2.Equipment Manufacturing

The line's core equipment — extrusion, forming, drying, and packaging systems — was manufactured at HG's own facilities in Shanghai, built to the design capacity the district administration's report later confirmed at 1,000 tons/year

3.Installation and Commissioning

HG's technical team completed on-site installation and commissioning at the Yangiyo'l facility, taking the project from delivered equipment to running production. This is the stage the district administration's report confirms as complete, describing the line as installed, commissioned, and in operation

4.Operator and Technical Training

HG trained local operators and technical staff on equipment operation, process control, and commissioning procedures, including dedicated sessions at HG's Shanghai factory — the same training program referenced in the district administration's report

The government's account of local hiring — 28 employees in place against a target of 70 jobs — reflects the workforce HG's training program has been building toward

5.After-Sales Support

Following commissioning, HG continues to provide after-sales support for the line — spare parts and ongoing technical assistance — as the customer scales toward the investment and capacity levels the district administration reported: US$4 million in total planned investment (US$3 million already committed in phase one) and the line's 1,000 tons/year design capacity

Why This Automated Rice Snack Line Stands Out Technically

For buyers researching rice snack, rice cracker, or extruded snack production equipment, the technical profile of this line illustrates the core design principles HG applies across its snack food machinery range:

  • Enclosed, automated process flow — reducing manual handling and contamination risk from raw material intake through final packaging.
  • Configurable output — the line's process parameters can be adjusted for different rice-based snack formats and recipes.
  • Scalable design capacity — engineered around a 1,000 tons/year target, with the customer's investment structured in phases (US$3 million phase one of a US$4 million total plan) to match capacity growth to market demand.
  • Local technical capability — on-site training plus factory-based training in Shanghai builds an in-country team capable of running and maintaining automated equipment, reducing long-term dependency on the supplier for routine operation.

Why the Government Report Matters Here

Most claims about a completed overseas project rest entirely on the supplier's own account. This one doesn't have to.

The Yangiyo'l District Administration Information Service — a local government body with no commercial relationship to HG — independently reported that the line is operating, at what capacity, at what investment level, and with what local hiring and sourcing results

For companies evaluating international rice snack production line suppliers, third-party government verification is a meaningfully different category of evidence from a supplier's own project write-up — it's an independent confirmation of scope, capacity, and operational status.
