One of the most important stages of opening your own production is the selection and, most importantly, the selection of equipment for the workshop. It is necessary to clearly distinguish between the concepts of choice and selection. In fact, these are different stages, because speaking of choice, we mean a specific manufacturer and model, and speaking of selection, we are talking about the necessary kit for the technological cycle itself.

Actually, this specificity is inherent in any business idea related to production. Today we will analyze specific example in the form of selection of the minimum set of equipment. There are two options for implementing a startup.

The first option is minimalism.

As in any other business idea, a seed business can be started with a relatively small start-up capital, or “deployed in full”, which implies an order of magnitude higher costs. In the first option, we mean that in order to open our own production, we use a minimum set of equipment, which will include only the most necessary units.

This kit includes:

• seed roaster,
• packaging machine
• cooler-purifier.

We choose a frying oven in the equipment option for a small seed business.

Let's start with the oven for roasting seeds, I want to clarify right away that such a unit can be used not only for roasting sunflower seeds, but also other products, for example, nuts, coffee, spices, and so on.

As you can see, the price range is quite large, units with a capacity of 100 kg are quite suitable for starting with, the price is 112 thousand for electric and 165 thousand rubles. for gas. Both options refer to devices with periodic loading and unloading carried out by the operator, there are also automatic devices, but for a mini-shop at the initial stage it is too expensive, and not reasonable. Remember, you can always increase the working time of the workshop or transfer it to two shift work, ensuring the growth of production finished products and increased staffing costs. But buying a device with high power and not having the proper load level will not reduce costs.

Choosing a cooler-cleaner for a small workshop.

Second on the list necessary equipment for a small business that decides to open the production of fried seeds, there will be a cooler-purifier. It is noteworthy that for two technological stages:

• At the initial stage of cleaning, before frying the seeds, removing small debris and dust;
• At the stage of cooling and post-treatment after roasting.

Such a double cleaning allows, firstly, to reduce the time spent on frying, seeds without impurities enter the brazier, which saves energy resources, and secondly, after frying, it cleans the finished product from “soot” (the so-called dirty hands effect). True pleasure is quite expensive and so:

When choosing a cooler-purifier for a small production, you should pay attention to the real power. What is the point of buying a Cyclone with a capacity of up to 1 ton of seeds per hour and spending 135 thousand if the maximum capacity of the installed roaster is 100 kg. at one o'clock. In such cases, it is optimal to look for cheaper options with lower productivity, but also lower cost, a power reserve is good, but in a small workshop it is optimal to buy 2 units of small power than one, but large. In the case of two, we have both the necessary stock and a reserve for the time of repairs.

Choosing a packaging machine for a small workshop.

A packaging machine is the most expensive purchase in a set of equipment for a seed business, its average cost is about 300 thousand, along with additional "chips". This is what the spread actually looks like:

It is worth noting that when opening your own small production, you should pay attention to the following nuances:

• First, the maximum packaging in the machine must be at least 500 grams. At the same time, a mini-workshop dealing with family, nuts, does not need large volumes of more than 1 kg.
• Secondly, the functions of applying the date are definitely needed;
• Thirdly, the notch function for opening the pack is very desirable, a trifle, but buyers like it.
• Fourth, the line must be automatic. The use of semi-automatic or manual lines for packaging does not justify itself due to the additional costs for hired personnel. Practice shows that an automatic line pays off additional investments (compared to a semiautomatic device) in half a year of work.

The price of 250 thousand is not final, as a rule, another 30-50 thousand will have to be spent on the purchase of additional units for automatic line. Speaking of the necessary equipment for small business ideas, you can read and.

Actually, this is the entire minimum set of equipment for a small business for roasting seeds, in general, its purchase will cost 507 thousand rubles, plus delivery and installation, investments will grow to 550 thousand rubles.

The second option is maximalism in opening a small own production.

If you have free money and you decide to do business seriously, then in addition to the above equipment for a small workshop, you will need to purchase:

• - vibrating table. Performs cleaning and sorting by size;
• - sunflower hydrotreating equipment. In such cases, at the primary cleaning stage, they do not use a conventional cleaner-cooler, but fully wash the sunflower and serve them for frying. In such cases, the brazier should be taken in large volumes, the wet seed is fried longer and loaded in a smaller volume.
• - units for cleaning and peeling. As they themselves understand, in such cases, the mini-workshop will be able to produce and fry pure sunflower kernels.

An additional set will cost another 600-800 thousand rubles, and the whole set for a full-fledged workshop in the VIP version will cost at least 1,300,000 rubles. Which, from my point of view, does not quite fit into the concept of a small business, at least when we are talking about purchasing only equipment.

In the next article, we will talk about the business plan for a small seed frying production, do not forget to subscribe to the resource.

Fried sunflower seeds are a popular product in our country. It is bought with pleasure by young people and the older generation. This delicacy is not only tasty, but also healthy. The demand for such snacks is stable, so it is realistic to create a profitable and promising business in this area.

Business concept and target audience

Everyone knows the taste of roasted sunflower seeds. The following factors make them popular:

• there are no age restrictions: they are eaten by children, adults and the elderly;
• seeds can be eaten anywhere - at work, on the street, sitting at home in front of the TV;
• with moderate consumption, the effect on health is only positive.

The seeds contain many valuable elements: vitamins, zinc, magnesium, polyunsaturated fatty acids. The active components of the seeds are useful for hair, skin, nervous system. They help lower cholesterol levels, help get rid of nicotine addiction.

Potential buyers can be individual entrepreneurs- owners of small shops and stalls, as well as wholesale customers.

What is required for implementation?

When selecting a production hall, it is important to consider compliance with the hygienic requirements for production rooms. food products. The area of ​​the workshop and two warehouses must be at least 60 square meters.

To avoid the penetration of mice and rats, which are also not indifferent to seeds, a concrete floor and metal doors will help.

What other features of the business should be taken into account:

• It is better to locate a shop for the production of roasted seeds on the outskirts of the city: it is cheaper even taking into account transportation costs.
• The line for the production of snacks includes frying, cooling and packaging equipment. It can be operated by two workers in the workshop. If you plan to work in two shifts, you will have to hire four employees.
• Due to the high competition, you will have to spend money on developing an unusual packaging design, an advertising campaign with promotions and lotteries, and creating a website. It is also worth calling potential wholesale customers and offering your products.

Have you purchased everything you need for production? It's time to find a supplier of raw materials. Remember the quality of the seeds, the taste of your products depends on it. Saving is inappropriate. It is worth buying a small amount of seeds from different suppliers, tasting and choosing the one you like.

Step-by-step instructions for starting production

The first step is to draw up a business plan and formalize the enterprise. One registration of an individual entrepreneur with the OKVED code 15.33 is not enough. Certificates of quality and permits from sanitary authorities - you produce food products. It is better to choose the taxation system of the USN "Income" or "Income minus expenses", depending on the region.

After you have rented a room, purchased raw materials and equipment, hired workers, you can start manufacturing products. The technology is simple:

1. Sort raw seeds by size using a sieve with a vibrator, discard poor quality ones.
2. Remove dirt, rinse, salt.
3. Roast and let cool.
4. Pack in bags of the desired size.

If you intend to flavor your product, you will need a panning machine.

Financial calculations

Starting capital and monthly expenses

In the column of initial expenses, first of all, you need to enter the purchase of equipment (prices in rubles):

• roasting oven - 33,000;
• cooling apparatus with anti-scale filters - 32,000;
• packaging machine - 45,000.

Also start-up capital includes the cost of raw materials and transport - 50,000, wages workers for the first month - 48,000, rent for the same period - 6,000. cash register- 18,000, for the execution of all documents - 10,000, for online accounting - 8,000 (annual payment). Advertising campaign and the creation of the site will cost 40,000, and the iron doors in the workshop - 10,000.

In total, at the start of the business, you will need 300,000 rubles.

The monthly expenses will include the cost of raw materials and transport, wages and rent. The figure comes out quite modest - 104,000 rubles.

How much can you earn and payback periods

A kilogram of raw seeds for wholesale purchases will cost 22 rubles. The cost of a 50-gram package: 1.1 rubles for raw materials and 30 kopecks for packaging. If we include here the wages of the worker, communal payments, it turns out 2.5 rubles. The cost of a 50-gram pack in the store is about 25 rubles. Without value added tax, this figure is 20 rubles. As a result, the yield of one pack is 17.5 rubles.

The production line is capable of producing 45,000 packs per month (25 shifts). We multiply this figure by 17.5 and get a profit without paying taxes - 787,500 rubles. But this is if you have your own store, and all the seeds are sold out.

If you sell seeds in bulk, then the price per pack starts from 6 rubles. In this case, the profit without taxes is 157,500.

If you subtract 6% tax, you get 148,050 net profit, which is also not bad.

Full payback in this case - in three months.

Benefits and possible risks

The production of roasted seeds has its own advantages and "pitfalls". Let's consider them in more detail:

The technological line can be easily reconfigured for roasting pumpkin seeds, coffee beans, peanuts.

If in the future you decide to purchase optional equipment, you can produce oil, spread, drying oil, and other products.

It can be concluded that the production of fried sunflower seeds is a profitable, promising, highly efficient and quickly payback type of business.

Fried sunflower seeds are a very popular product in our country. Moreover, everyone buys it with pleasure: not only young people, but also older people. Demand this product snack category is stable, so in this niche there is an opportunity to build a profitable and promising business. We will talk today about how to organize the production of seeds and their sale.

Product group characteristics

If we compare roasted seeds with other products from the snack category (crackers, chips, etc.), then they compare favorably in that the target audience their consumer base is the widest. The popularity of sunflower seeds can be explained by the following factors:

The absence of age restrictions, they are allowed to be used by children, adults, and the elderly;

The absence of restrictions on the place of use, you can eat seeds at home, on the street, and indoors (for example, some people enjoy husking them in the office);

The absence of a negative effect on the human body with moderate use of this product.

In addition, seeds contain a lot of substances useful for humans, such as vitamins of groups A, B, D and E, zinc, magnesium, and unsaturated fatty acids. Eating this product helps to lower blood cholesterol levels, accelerates the regeneration process. skin, improves the condition of the hair, and also has a calming effect on the human nervous system, which makes it easier, for example, to cope with quitting smoking. Therefore, by organizing the production of roasted sunflower seeds, you can be sure that your products will not only not harm anyone's health, but will also be useful.

Business Highlights

The production of roasted sunflower seeds, like any other enterprise, has a number of its own characteristics. These include the following:

1. Availability of raw materials, as well as its relatively low cost.
2. Opportunity to buy an inexpensive machine for the production of seeds.
3. Quick return on initial investment.

In addition, the prospect of further business development can be called very tempting. Thus, the equipment used is easily reconfigured for roasting coffee beans, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, etc. If you decide to purchase additional units in the future, you can start making butter, margarine, drying oil, fodder cake and a host of other products.

All of the above makes this enterprise very successful and promising idea. To begin with, it is necessary to draw up a business plan for production.

Seeds as a business: consumers and marketing of finished products

As a rule, manufacturers of roasted sunflower seeds do not sell them in retail sales, preferring wholesale deliveries. To do this, it is necessary to establish contractual relations both with large trading networks, and with a number of small shops, stalls and kiosks, as well as, if possible, with distributors and wholesale buyers.

Do not underestimate the activity of competitors in this segment, which makes it necessary to carefully plan all activities aimed at expanding the distribution channels for your products.

How are roasted sunflower seeds made?

Seed production technology includes the following stages: calibration, washing, salting, frying, cooling, polishing, packing and packaging. We propose to consider each of the points in more detail.

Calibration

At this stage, large grains are separated from small ones, as well as their cleaning from debris. For this, calibration units or vibrating screens are used, which have the function of separating the product into several fractions.

Washing

At this stage, the product is purified. Washing units have a tunnel, through-type design and are divided into the following types:

With top watering;

With bottom and top watering, which provides a more thorough washing of the product;

With one heater at the outlet;

With two heaters, which allows you to better dry the seeds, thereby reducing their frying time.

Product salting

This stage is used in the production of products with a salty taste. To do this, use a machine for making additives (coating drum). As a rule, units of this type are used in large industries.

frying

This is the most important stage in seed production. The quality of the finished product will directly depend on the quality of the equipment used for frying. Most often, electric drum furnaces are used for this purpose, equipped with a stainless steel drum, toppers, a thermostat, windows for removing moisture and a spatula for sampling. Sometimes this equipment also includes coolers.

In addition to electric, gas-fired drum ovens are also widely used. They keep everything specifications First, however, they can significantly save on electricity.

Cooling

Since after roasting the seeds are stored for a very long time high temperature inside their shell, in order to exclude the possibility of overcooking, they are cooled with the help of special units. This equipment is of two types: a conveyor or open design of a round shape, equipped with agitators and a directed air flow.

Polishing

At this stage, the process of fine cleaning of products from debris and soot takes place. For this purpose, cleaning and polishing machines are used. By the way, if the production line includes such equipment, then there is no need for the initial washing of raw materials.

Packing and packaging

As is known, appearance product is very important in the process of marketing a product. Roasted seeds are no exception. Therefore, it is necessary not only to develop a suitable packaging design, but also to purchase high-quality equipment.

Seed production equipment

The main investments for the manufacture of such products will be associated with the purchase of the necessary equipment. As a rule, it includes the following names:

Units for washing and drying (at the initial stage, in order to minimize costs, this procedure can be performed manually);

Units for calibration of seeds;

Brazier;

cooler;

Packing machine.

Of course, you can purchase the equipment separately, but the best option would be to purchase a finished production line.

If the size of your business investment is limited, then you can purchase a mini-line for the production of roasted sunflower seeds. It is based on an electric oven capable of producing 60-100 kilograms of finished products per hour. It is envisaged that washing and drying will be carried out manually. Two people are required to operate such a production line. Its cost will be about 450-500 thousand rubles. This equipment is designed for a workshop area of ​​30-35 square meters.

If you decide to purchase a fully automated production line, then you will need to spend at least 1.2 million rubles on its purchase. In this case, you will need a workshop with an area of ​​at least 50 square meters.

room

If you decide to start the production of roasted seeds, then you will need to rent a suitable room for this purpose. First of all, it must have enough space to accommodate all the equipment. It must also comply with all the requirements of the sanitary and epidemiological station and the fire service and have access to the main communications. It is best to choose a room on the outskirts of the city in the industrial zone, which will save on its rent.

Business in the production of fried seeds: the financial side of the issue

To begin with, we propose to evaluate the approximate initial investment. So, if you decide to organize the production of fried sunflower seeds with the purchase of a mini-line for their production, then to start such a business you will have to invest about 1 million rubles (including the purchase of raw materials, renting premises and hiring workers).

As for income, the monthly revenue will be about 800 thousand rubles. Wherein net profit will be at the level of 110 thousand rubles. Thus, the initial investment will be able to pay off after 10-12 months of active work.

So, we can conclude that roasted seeds as a business is a very profitable, promising, highly profitable and quickly payback business.
