Development Background of packaging machinery industry

Packaging is a necessary condition for commodities to enter the circulation field, and packaging equipment is the main means to realize commodity packaging. Packaging equipment manufacturing enterprises provide diversified packaging equipment to meet the needs of automatic production according to the personalized needs of customers' packaging technology. The packaging equipment integrates multi-field technologies such as mechanical processing, electrical control, information system control, industrial robots, image sensing technology, microelectronics, etc. , and combines the production processes of downstream industries, realize the automation of a series of packaging processes such as molding, filling, sealing, labeling, coding, bundling, palletizing, winding, etc, it has become one of the key factors for enterprises to improve production efficiency, reduce labor intensity, improve working environment, save labor costs, optimize production technology and realize large-scale production. Since 1960s, with the continuous emergence of new packaging materials, new processes and new technologies, as well as the updating of packaging requirements in downstream industries, the global packaging machinery industry has been developing continuously. From a domestic perspective, in the 1970s S, through the introduction, digestion and absorption of foreign technologies, made in China completed the first- Taiwan packaging machine, after more than 30 years of technological innovation, the packaging machinery industry has now become one of the top ten industries in the machinery industry. At the beginning of the development of the packaging machinery industry, manual and semi-automatic traditional packaging equipment were the main ones. The degree of product automation was low, the industry adaptability was poor, and the market promotion was greatly limited. With the rapid development of the national economy and the improvement of production automation requirements in various industries, the packaging machinery industry has developed rapidly, packaging equipment is widely used in food, beverage, medicine, chemical industry, machinery manufacturing, warehousing and logistics and other industries. Especially in recent years, due to the increasingly fierce market competition in downstream industries, the trend of large-scale and intensive production, and the rising cost of human resources, packaging equipment is playing an increasingly important role in production and logistics, highly automated, efficient, intelligent and energy-saving packaging equipment is gradually favored by downstream industries, traditional packaging equipment is gradually combined with fieldbus technology, transmission control technology, motion control technology, automatic identification technology and safety detection technology, which leads to the emergence of modern intelligent packaging equipment.
