The development status of the packaging machinery industry

China's vacuum packaging machine industry has only been formed for 20 years, with a relatively weak foundation, insufficient technology and scientific research capabilities, and its relatively lagging development, which has dragged the food and packaging industry to a certain extent. It is predicted that by 2010, the total output value of the domestic industry may reach 130 billion yuan (current price), and the market demand may reach 200 billion yuan. How to catch up and seize this huge market as soon as possible is a problem that we urgently need to solve. The development status of my country's vacuum packaging machine industry. China's vacuum packaging machine started in the late 1970s, with an annual output value of only 70 or 80 million yuan. There are only more than 100 varieties. The total sales increased from 15 billion yuan in 1994 to 2000. The annual value of 30 billion yuan, the variety of products has grown from 270 in 1994 to 3,700 in 2000. The product level has reached a new level, and the trend of large-scale, complete set and automation has begun to appear, and the equipment with complex transmission and high technical content has begun to appear. It can be said that my country’s machinery production has met the basic domestic needs and started to export to Southeast Asia and the third world countries. For example, my country’s total import and export volume in 2000 was 2.737 billion US dollars, of which exports were 1.29 billion US dollars, an increase from 1999. That’s 22.2%. Among the exported machinery varieties, food (dairy, pastry, meat, fruit) processing machines, ovens, packaging, labeling machines, paper-plastic-aluminum composite can production equipment and other machinery are mostly exported. Food machinery such as sugar, wine, and beverages , Vacuum packaging machines and other equipment have begun to export complete sets. Current status of development As far as food packaging is concerned, the most commonly used and most basic packaging techniques today are divided into two categories, namely filling and wrapping. The filling method is suitable for almost all materials and all kinds of packaging containers. Specifically, for liquids, powders, and granular materials with good fluidity, the packaging process can be completed mainly by relying on its own gravity, and it must be supplemented by a certain mechanical action. For the semi-fluid with strong viscosity or the single and combined parts with larger body, corresponding compulsory measures such as squeezing, pushing in, picking and placing are required. As for the wrapping method, it is different from this. It is mainly suitable for single or combined parts with regular appearance, sufficient rigidity, and tighter packaging. Flexible plastics and their composite materials (some additional Lightweight pallets, liners), wrapped by mechanical action. In the past ten years, the international packaging industry has attached great importance to improving the general capabilities and multi-functional integration capabilities of packaging machinery and the entire packaging system, providing timely and flexible production methods for diversified products that are developing rapidly in the market. At the same time, based on the actual needs of rationally simplifying packaging and superior packaging technology, continuous exploration has significantly accelerated the pace of its own technological innovation. Especially in response to the synchronous development of modern automatic machine tools, it is gradually clear. In order to establish a new system of packaging machinery that is diversified, universal, and multifunctional, it is necessary to first focus on solving the major problems of combination and electromechanical integration, which is undoubtedly an important development direction in the future. Mechanical packaging instead of manual packaging has greatly improved the efficiency of packaging, but the proliferation of packaging has also become a vice. In the future, not only packaging, but also packaging machinery will develop towards environmental protection. Green environmental protection is the main theme of the future. The development of packaging machinery industry China's packaging machinery started late, starting in the 1970s. After studying Japanese packaging machinery, the Beijing Institute of Commercial Machinery completed the manufacture of China's first packaging machine. After more than 20 years of development , China's packaging machinery has become one of the top ten industries in the machinery industry, providing a strong guarantee for the rapid development of China's packaging industry. Some packaging machinery has filled the domestic gap and can basically meet the needs of the domestic market. Some products are also exported. China's packaging machinery imports are roughly equivalent to the total output value, which is far from developed countries. With the rapid development of the industry, there are also a series of problems. At this stage, the level of China's packaging machinery industry is not high enough. The packaging machinery market is becoming increasingly monopolized. Except for corrugated packaging machinery and some small packaging machines that have certain scale and advantages, other packaging machinery is almost out of system and scale, especially some complete packaging production lines with high demand on the market, such as liquid filling production lines , Beverage packaging container complete sets of equipment, aseptic packaging production lines, etc., are monopolized by several large packaging machinery enterprise groups in the world packaging machinery market, and domestic enterprises should take active countermeasures in the face of the strong impact of foreign brands. Judging from the current situation, the global demand for packaging machinery is growing at an annual rate of 5.3%. The United States has the largest packaging equipment manufacturer, followed by Japan, and other major manufacturers include Germany, Italy and China. However, the fastest growth of packaging equipment production in the future will be in developing countries and regions. Developed countries will benefit from stimulating domestic demand, and find suitable local manufacturers in developing countries, especially investing in food processing plants and providing packaging machinery and equipment. China has made great progress since its accession to the WTO. The level of China's packaging machinery has improved very quickly, and the gap with the world's advanced level has gradually narrowed. With China's increasing opening up, China's packaging machinery will also further open up the international market.
