HG-Built Japanese Rice Cracker Production Line Technology Enters Commercial Operation in Yangiyo'l District, Uzbekistan

Tashkent Region, Uzbekistan — A fully automated snack production line built on HG's Japanese rice cracker production line technology has been engineered, manufactured, installed, and commissioned at a food enterprise in Yangiyo'l District, Tashkent Region, Uzbekistan. The project and its operating results were reported by the Yangiyo'l District Administration Information Service, the local government's official information channel.

What the local government reported

According to the official report from the Yangiyo'l District Administration Information Service (source), the project involves the following, as stated by the district administration:

• The line is operated by Rice Snack Food, a food enterprise based in Yangiyo'l District, Tashkent Region.
• The district administration describes the line as the first fully automated production line of its kind in Central Asia.
• Design annual capacity is reported at 1,000 tons.
• Total planned investment for the project is reported at US$4 million, with US$3 millionalready invested in the first phase.
• The project is expected to create 70 jobs, of which 28 local employeeshave already been hired.
• Around 80% of the riceused in production is planned to be sourced from the local Uzbek market.
• Local operators and technical staff travel to HG's Shanghai factoryfor training on equipment operation and commissioning.
• The administration notes the line uses an automated, enclosed production process, and describes the equipment as incorporating Japanese-origin technology.
• District officials stated the project supports local food manufacturing capacity, employment, use of domestic raw materials, and the region's export potential.

HG's role in the project

While the local government's report documents the operating results, the underlying engineering and delivery work — from concept to commissioning — was carried out by HG. For this project, HG's scope covered:

• Production line design tailored to the customer's target product range and target output, drawing on the same Japanese rice cracker equipment platform used across HG's snack food division.
• Equipment manufacturing at HG's own facilities.
• Installation and on-site commissioning at the Yangiyo'l facility.
• Operator and technical staff training, including sessions conducted at HG's Shanghai factory referenced in the district's report.
• Ongoing after-sales support, covering spare parts and continued technical assistance as the line ramps up production.

This combination — a government-verified, operating facility paired with HG's full delivery scope — is what distinguishes this project from a standard equipment sale: it is a documented, third-party-confirmed example of a complete HG production line, built on Japanese rice cracker technology, running in commercial use.

About the Production Line: Japanese Rice Cracker Technology Platform

The equipment supplied for this project falls under HG's Rice Snack Production Line family, which shares its core processing technology with HG's dedicated Japanese Rice Cracker Production Line and is also applied to related product lines including Rice Cracker Production Lines, Senbei Production Lines, and Snow Rice Cake Production Lines. Across this equipment family, HG applies the same Japanese-origin baking and forming technology referenced in the district administration's report — automated, enclosed processing from raw material handling through baking or frying and final packaging.

For customers evaluating a Japanese rice cracker production line specifically, this Uzbekistan installation serves as a real-world, government-documented reference for line performance, automation level, and commissioning support — the same standard HG applies to its Japanese rice cracker equipment worldwide.

Global Case Studies

This Uzbekistan project is one of several government- and customer-verified installations documented in HG's Global Case Studies library, which includes additional references for Japanese rice cracker, rice snack, and related extruded and baked snack production lines across multiple regions.
