Quality Standard: AQL 2.5 / 4.0 | BRC Grade A Certified

The Technical Process

Step 1: Log Selection & Boiling Process: We strictly select high-density Birch/Bamboo (Density > 0.65g/cm³). Raw logs undergo 8-10 hours of high-temperature boiling (95°C - 100°C). Degreasing: Removes natural fats/sugars to prevent future mold. Sterilization: Kills dormant insect eggs or bacteria deep in the wood fiber. Softening: Ensures the wood is pliable for precision peeling without cracking.
	Step 2: Rotary Peeling & Precision Cutting Process: Logs are peeled into veneers with a thickness tolerance of ±0.05mm. Automated punching presses create clean-edged shapes using laser-calibrated molds. Consistency: Ensures every fork fits perfectly into automated cutlery dispensers . Structural Integrity: Precise grain alignment prevents the cutlery from snapping during use.
Step 3: 4-Stage Tumbling & Polishing Process: Semi-finished products undergo 4-6 hours of friction polishing in industrial tumblers. No chemical coatings are used. Smooth Mouthfeel: This is the critical step to eliminate burrs and splinters. Edge Treatment: Ensures the edges of spoons and forks are rounded, safe for children and elderly diners.
	Step 4: High-Temperature Drying & Moisture Lock We utilize High-Temperature Drying Tunnels to strictly control the wood's moisture content below 12%. Unlike traditional air drying, this intensive thermal treatment creates a 'Dry-Lock' state. It effectively prevents mold risks during long ocean freight across humid climates, while simultaneously enhancing the structural stability of the cutlery.
Step 5:Technology ensures standard; Humans ensure perfection. Process:Our quality control combines the best of both worlds. Level 1 (Mechanical Sorting): Automated sorters first remove any broken, bent, or misshaped items to ensure strict dimensional consistency for automated dispensers. Level 2 (100% Visual Inspection): Unlike factories that rely solely on random sampling, we employ a dedicated QC team to visually inspect every single piece under high-intensity lighting. Experienced inspectors catch subtle natural defects—like dark knots or rough grain—that machines often miss.
	Step 6: High-Temperature Heat Pressing Process: Cutlery is shaped under high pressure at 160°C - 180°C. Shape Stability: Prevents the spoon from rebounding or flattening over time. Secondary Sterilization: Another round of heat treatment to ensure absolute hygiene.
Step 7: Metal Detection Process: 100% of finished packs pass through industrial metal detectors before boxing. Sensitivity Standards: Fe Ø ≥ 1.0mm, Non-Fe Ø ≥ 1.5mm, SS Ø ≥ 2.0mm. Zero Contamination: Specifically targets broken machine needles or blades—a zero-tolerance issue for global catering brands.
	Step 8: GMP Packing Environment Process: Final packing takes place in a dust-free workshop requiring full protective gear (hairnets, masks, gloves). Hygiene: Prevents human contamination (hair, saliva) in the final stage.
