The rapid development of food packaging machinery in China has led to many large-scale and effective leading enterprises. At present, the output value of China's food packaging machinery is about 30 billion yuan, while the annual import of food packaging machinery is about 1 billion US dollars. Food processing and packaging machinery manufacturing is an important industry that provides technical equipment for the food industry. In recent years, it has gradually developed into one of China's fastest-growing and most dynamic pillar industries in the national economy. However, due to the late start, lack of technical resources and other reasons, China's food processing and packaging machinery manufacturing technology innovation capability is very weak.

The development prospects of packaging machinery are broad. In the past 20 years, the food processing industry, which is characterized by a large number of transformed agricultural products, has been developing at an alarming rate. It has become one of the fastest growing industries in China's national economy. From the early 1980s to the present, the national food industry The average annual growth rate reached 13% to 14%. The agricultural product processing industry first provided a broad space for development for the packaging industry. Any processed food can not be separated from packaging, including sales packaging and transport packaging. The first to benefit from this is packaging machinery.

China's food packaging machinery industry started in the early 1980s. Since its establishment, there are nearly 6,000 food and packaging machinery manufacturers in China, but about 2,000 of them are not stable enough. Nearly 15% of companies turn or close down each year. About the same number of new companies enter the industry. On the one hand, it illustrates the fierce competition in this industry. On the other hand, it shows the attractiveness and vitality of the industry, and everyone's preference for the future. In this industry, only a dozen or more companies have annual sales of more than 100 million yuan, and 50 companies have annual sales of more than 30 million yuan. 75% of the industry’s export products are produced by these 50 companies. This shows that large enterprises have a relatively high level of technology and production capacity, and they have an absolute advantage in market competition.

According to the prediction of authoritative experts, the current global demand for mechanical equipment is growing rapidly at an annual growth rate of 5.2%, and it is expected to reach 39.8 billion U.S. dollars by 2012. In the next few years, the sales volume of packaging equipment in developing countries will exceed that of Japan, the United States and other developed countries. In 2010, China’s demand for packaging machinery and equipment was approximately US$3.3 billion. According to the prediction of China Machinery Industry Federation, during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, China's packaging machinery industry is expected to exceed 600 billion yuan in size, and the average annual growth rate will reach 16%.

China's food packaging machinery development control points With the rapid development of society, the prosperity of the commodity economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, more and more attention has been paid to the packaging of goods, and the related packaging machinery industry has also been developing rapidly. China's packaging machinery started late as a whole. After rapid development in recent years, it has become one of the ten industries in the machinery industry. With the continuous development of science and technology and the continuous improvement of packaging machinery technology, China's packaging machinery industry will usher in Rapid development period.

China's food packaging machinery and equipment are not only on the scale, but are also accelerating the advancement of electro-opto-mechanical integration and automation. Great progress has been made in filling equipment, packaging equipment, and packaging material production equipment. However, the export value of packaging machinery in China is still less than 5% of the total output value, but the import amount is roughly the same as the total output value. This shows that China's demand for packaging machinery gap is very large, compared with foreign products, domestic packaging machinery, the gap between the level of science and technology is still relatively large, far from meeting domestic demand.

In addition, there are about 1,300 varieties of packaging machinery in China, lacking high-tech, high-precision, high-quality accessory products, low product performance, poor stability and reliability, short life span, rough surface treatment, and unattractive appearance. The technology of packaging machinery in China The overall level is about 20 years behind the advanced countries. From the perspective of the enterprise, there are few leading enterprises in the domestic packaging machinery industry, and there are not many companies with high technological level, large production scale, and product quality that meets international standards; from the development of scientific research products Look, still basically remain in the test imitation stage, self-development ability is not strong, scientific research investment is small, the funds only account for 1% of sales, and developed countries up to 8 to 10%.

High-end technology helps packaging machinery products upgrade The development potential of China's packaging machinery industry is huge. With the continuous development and progress of science and technology, future microelectronics, computers, industrial robots, image sensing technologies and new materials will be increasingly available in packaging machinery. With more extensive applications, companies do not need to learn and introduce new technologies, and they will enter into packaging equipment with high production efficiency, high degree of automation, reliability, flexibility, and high technology content. Create a new type of packaging machinery, lead the packaging machinery to the direction of integration, high efficiency, and intelligent development.

The highly efficient efficiency of food processing is mainly achieved through the use of electromechanical integration technology and optical, electrical, hydraulic and automation control technologies. Continuous production equipment replaces intermittent production equipment, and specialized production equipment replaces general production. Equipment, instead of small and medium-sized production equipment by human-type production equipment. The production line can realize continuous production, professional operation, automatic adjustment, large-scale operation, etc., which can significantly increase production efficiency and economic benefits. At present, many large-scale manufacturers of food machinery or multinational corporations have mostly developed production facilities with highly automated production lines and large-scale production facilities, and have won the competitiveness of the market with high-efficiency production.

Since the beginning of automation in the 21st century, compared with traditional packaging machinery and equipment, the new food packaging machine has the characteristics of simplification, high productivity, better matching and automation. The future packaging machinery will cooperate with the trend of industrial automation and promote the overall level of packaging equipment. For example, high-intelligence digital control systems, encoders and digital control components, and power load control devices have been commonly used in packaging machinery and equipment to make equipment users more independent, flexible, accurate, and high in operation. Efficiency and compatibility.

It is understood that the countries with high levels of foreign packaging and food machinery are mainly the United States, Germany, Japan, Italy and the United Kingdom. Germany's packaging machinery is leading in design, manufacturing and technical performance. In recent years, there has been a new trend in the development of packaging and food machinery equipment in these countries.

Process automation is getting higher and higher. At present, automation technology has accounted for more than 50% of the packaging production lines. China's Zhengzhou Spark Packaging Machinery Co., Ltd. has extensively used computer design and electromechanical integration control to increase productivity, flexibility and flexibility of the equipment, and to increase robots to complete complex packaging actions. Each robot is controlled by a separate computer. The camera monitors the packaging action and feeds the information back to the computer to adjust the range of motion to ensure the quality of the package.
