Internship report – Semester 3 2018

HEINIKEN Vietnam is also planning to reduce the water consumption producing beer,

from 3.6 liters of water producing 1 liter of beer into 2.5 liters of water producing 1 liter

of beer based on the standards of Europe brewring industry.

- In HEINIKEN Vietnam, the A range waterwaste process systems were installed in 3

factories with expense up to 125,280,000,000 VND (equivalent to 6 million USD). With

the highest capacity of 6 million liters of waterwaste per day, the system ensures that all

the waterwaste of the factories will be processed in a closed loop before discharging into

the environment.

- Waterwaste process will produce biogas which contains about 70 to 85% Methane. This

biogas is now being recycled and consumed in the reactors, contributing to the reduction

of fuel and air pollution and also helping HEINIKEN Vietnam to save up an amount of 5

billion VND for the expense on gas.

- In addition, to become The Green Brewery Factory, HEINIKEN Vietnam has recycled

used materials, supervised the process of waste products as well as measured and reduced

the carbon footprint in the supply chain management. All of the forklifts in the factory are

operated by the non-contaminated, which also reduces the noise pollution in the

production area.

7
Internship report – Semester 3 2018

3. Production process

 Milling: The brewing process starts with grinding malt. Malt from the silo is

transferred to the brewhouse through conveyors.

 Mashing: Ground malt and water are heated in a mash ton allowing starch to be

converted into fermentable sugars

 Wort Filtration: The mixture of malt and water which is called mash is filtered

to separate spent grains to create wort.

 Boiling with hops: Hops are added to boiling wort to enhance the taste and aroma

and also to allow the foam head to develop.

 Wort clarification and cooling: The mixture of hops and wort is whirl to remove

hop sentiments. The wort is then cooled at 9 degrees Celsius and the air is added

in preparation for the fermentation process.

8
Internship report – Semester 3 2018

 Fermentation: At a low temperature, yeast is added to the wort.

 Maturation: Thus changing the wort to mature beer.

 Filtration: The mature beer is there a filter to remove the remaining traces of

yeast and protein to create a bright beer for packaging.

 Chemical – physical laboratory: Noodles are mainly made from wheat flour whilst

yellow color formed by turmeric extract. Ingredients of the seasoning sachets consist of

dried vegetables, spices, and refined oil. Instant cup noodles contain other dried

ingredients such as eggs, shrimp, chicken, pork, etc. Packets, cups, bowls, and trays are

made of materials which are safe for human health in accordance with Vietnamese and

14
Internship report – Semester 3 2018

international regulations. 100% of ingredients are strictly inspected, tested and meet the

quality standards before being put into production.

 Mixing: Via an enclosed pipe system, wheat flour and mixture fluid are pumped into the

mixer from the stainless steel container and mixed evenly by automatic equipment

 Rolling: After being mixed, the dough is transferred to the roller via the conveyor

system. The noodle belt is pressed gradually by pairs of rough and fined rollers until it

reaches the required elasticity and thickness according to the specification of each type of

product.

 Cutting: The noodle belt is slitted into large, small, round, flat shapes with different sizes

and the typical wavy-shape is formed by the slitter system.

 Steaming: The noodles are gelatinized and cooked in a sealed steam chamber. The

source of heat is generated from a modern heating system combined with standard

pressure setting and automatic adjustment.

 Quantitative cutting and shaping: Passing through the conveyor to the cutter and

cutting board, the noodles are cut into certain length and drop down to the feeder and put

into the mold to form the shape for the noodles. Depending on the types of product,

noodles are formed in a square shape, round shape, or other shapes for cups, bowls, trays,

etc.

 Drying: After being steamed, the noodles are conveyed through a modern drying system

to reduce the moisture of the noodles to the lowest level and to help preserving the

product for five or six months. There are two drying methods:

1. Hot air drying: for non-fried noodles

2. Oil-frying: for fried noodles

15
Internship report – Semester 3 2018

o The oil is heated indirectly by steam (similar to cooking in bain-marie) before

being put into sealed pans system

o New oil is added continuously with an automatic system

o Oxidation index of the oil is always controlled in accordance with TCVN

(Vietnamese standards) and Codex to ensure that the oil is always fresh.

 Cooling: With the automatic cooling system utilizing fresh air from the natural

environment which is filtered with modern devices, the temperature of noodles after

being dried quickly becomes normal for packing.

 Spice sachets adding: After cooling, seasoning packets of different flavors will be added

to the noodle block by an automatic system.

 Film packaging and expiry date printing: After adding sufficiently seasoning packets

for each product, the noodle block is packed in films to make a finished noodle packet.

The expiry date is printed on the package during the packing process.

 Quality checking: After packing, finished noodle packs shall go in turn through the

detectors and weighing instrument to check for metal and abnormal object and standard

weight. Unqualified packs will be removed from the line.

 Carton packaging and storaging: Finished products are packed in cases in accordance

with the requirements of each product. The case will be printed with manufacture date,

stored, and inspected by Quality Assurance Department one more time before being

distributed to the market.

* Different products will have a different formula and processes, other powder mixing

time, timer cooking varies, and this requires many parallel lines, many plants with only a

few types of manufactured products. This can cause enormous pressure on planning team.

16
Internship report – Semester 3 2018

* With manufacturing plants throughout the country, each just a few special products. An

underlying problem is logistics problem, how to ship products from a plant across the

country which at minimal cost

* Production time using 6 months from date of manufacture, the storage period of the

product up to 1 month (including shipping nationwide). In order to do this, logistic team

and planning team have to work hard.

4. Workers and working environment
