New development trends of food industry packaging machinery industry

With the development of the domestic food industry, the continuous expansion of production scale and the need for a significant increase in production efficiency have spawned the rapid development of various types of automated and highly intelligent* production lines, especially those in the labor-intensive packaging field. As an industry of automation and intelligent trends in the packaging field, the emergence of fully automatic packaging lines has greatly improved the packaging machinery to meet the needs of automated production, improved the security, accuracy of the packaging field, and further liberated the packaging labor force in many ways to improve production efficiency.

China's food and packaging machinery enterprises are small in scale and large in number; many product models and small batches; small associations between enterprises and poor supporting facilities; a serious lack of competitiveness and development strength; enterprises mainly focus on traditional manufacturing equipment and few modern CNC equipment The low level of machinery manufacturing and informatization makes it difficult to ensure product quality; the product lacks independent intellectual property rights, fewer original products, low product technology content, and short life cycle; lack of engineering and technical personnel, domestic universities do not specifically set up food machinery, packaging Mechanical undergraduates are mostly set up in the direction of mechanical design and manufacturing, automation, and packaging engineering. The number of talents trained is insufficient, and there is also a lack of engineering talents with cross-disciplinary backgrounds and systematic mastering of science and technology in this field; modern mechanical design methods are not commonly used. The product development cycle is long, and the comprehensive design, manufacturing, engineering, and supporting capabilities are poor, which seriously affects the company's technological innovation and the development of new products, restricting the company's leap-forward development; traditional food processing technology does not meet the requirements of food industrialization, mechanization, and intelligence. The disconnection between the development of food processing technology and the design of equipment restricts the development of the food processing industry; equipment and production lines suitable for large-scale industrial food production have low technical content and small production scale. It cannot be adapted to the needs of the food industry and can only be imported from abroad.

The main general equipment for food processing has higher energy consumption, lower production rate, lower production capacity and lower technical content. Not suitable for the needs of large-scale industrial food production; online quality inspection of food processing equipment and packaging machinery, product safety measures, coordination of people and machines and the environment are not paid enough attention; the processing accuracy of main parts is low, the quality and technology of main general parts The level is not high, which seriously affects the working speed and quality of the machinery; servo motors, stepper motors, PLCs, sensors and other key components also rely on foreign technology and imports; the technological innovation conditions and capabilities are insufficient, and the company’s investment in research and development funds is small, according to statistics Less than 1% severely restricts the development of enterprises; the application of new technologies, new materials and informatization lags behind, and lacks the support of technology integration, interdisciplinarity, and technology integration in new product development, technological innovation, and major equipment research and development.

Compared with foreign packaging line production enterprises, there is still a certain gap between domestic manufacturers and production line supporting performance consistency, equipment stability, service life and other aspects. Therefore, enterprises must increase the technical research of new packaging lines and the innovation of new products. Only in this way can they meet the rapidly growing packaging needs in China.
