Packaging Machinery Technology Innovation and Development Trend Analysis

With the prosperity of China’s commodity economy and the improvement of people’s living standards, the prospects for food packaging machinery packaging technology are very optimistic. In recent years, the state has increased its supervision over the quality and safety of foods and medicines, and has put forward new requirements for the production, processing, and packaging of foods. A batch of food production enterprises have invested funds for technological transformation of packaging equipment and innovation of production technology, which has, to some extent, improved the level of China's food industry and market competitiveness. Although the level of China's food packaging machinery packaging technology has improved, but China's food packaging machinery packaging technology compared with developed countries is still in a weak position. About 30% of enterprises in China's packaging machinery industry have low-level redundant construction. This situation has not only wasted important resources such as limited funds and manpower, but also caused chaos in the packaging machinery market, hindered the healthy development of the industry, and restricted the upgrading of packaging machinery and innovation of packaging technology in China's small and medium-sized food enterprises.

China's food packaging machinery is mostly based on stand-alone machines, with low scientific and technological content and automation. It is less applicable to new technologies, new processes, and new materials, and it cannot meet the requirements of China's current food enterprise development. Some food companies have had to spend large sums of money to import some advanced food packaging production lines with advanced technology, high production efficiency, and high packaging precision for a technological transformation, resulting in a large part of the domestic market share being occupied by foreign brands. The development space for food packaging machinery in China is still vast, and the level of food packaging machinery packaging technology needs to be improved.

Looking for the gap between domestic machinery and international technology

The production efficiency is low, the energy consumption is high, the stability and reliability are poor, the product shape is backward, the appearance is rough, the life of the base parts and the accessory parts is low, and the quality of the domestically produced pneumatic parts and electrical components is poor. For example, Henan Xinghuo Packing Machinery Co., Ltd. is based on the advanced foreign packaging machinery technology, based on the transformation and innovation products, the pneumatic parts of the Spark series of filling machine are using pneumatic components of Germany FESTO and Taiwan AirTac.

Control technology is used infrequently. Such as remote control technology, stepper motor technology, information processing technology. Experts pointed out that the world's packaging machinery in Germany, Italy, the United States and Japan are in a leading position. Among them, the technology for molding, filling, and sealing three kinds of mechanical equipment in the United States has been updated very quickly. For example, the liquid filling machine produced by EJF can realize gravity filling, pressure filling and positive pressure mobile pump filling. That is to say, any viscous liquid can be realized by changing the filling method by microcomputer control. In recent years, this technology has emerged in China, such as Jiangsu Qunjie Packaging Machinery Factory and Guangzhou Ote Packaging Machinery Company.

Learn from the advanced methods of foreign packaging machinery

Germany's packaging machinery is world-class in terms of measurement, manufacturing, and technical performance. The beer and beverage filling equipment produced in the country has a fast production speed, a high degree of automation and good reliability. Mainly reflected in: the automation of the process, high production efficiency, to meet the short delivery time and reduce the cost requirements of the process; equipment has a higher flexibility and flexibility. Mainly reflected in the flexibility of production, flexibility of construction and flexibility of supply to meet the needs of product upgrading; and the use of computers and simulation technology to provide complete sets of equipment, low failure rate, remote diagnostic services; Less environmental pollution, mainly including noise, dust and waste pollution.

Of the packaging machinery produced in Italy, 40% are food packaging machines such as candy packaging machines, tea packaging machines, and filling machines. The product features elegant appearance, excellent performance and low price. The biggest advantage of the Italian packaging machinery industry is that it can be designed and produced in accordance with the requirements of users, and it can ensure that the design, production and testing can be completed well, and that supervision, inspection, assembly, adjustment and user demand analysis can be achieved.

Japan's food packaging machinery, although based on small and medium-sized single machine, but the device is small, high precision, easy to install, easy operation, high degree of automation.

With the development of world science and technology, developed countries have integrated nuclear energy technology, microelectronics technology, laser technology, biotechnology and systems engineering into traditional machinery manufacturing technologies. New alloy materials, polymer materials, composite materials, inorganic non-metallic materials and other new materials have also been promoted. The integration, intelligence, networking, and flexibility of food packaging machinery will become the mainstream of future development.
