[China Packaging Network News] At present, the research on common technologies in my country's packaging machinery industry lags behind and has not formed a scale. , and lacks systematicity and continuity, the results achieved are also very limited, and need to be strengthened urgently.
Looking at my country's packaging machinery companies, about one of the nearly 100 companies is not stable enough. Nearly % of companies change production or go bankrupt every year. At the same time, about the same number of new companies enter this industry. There is a lack of leading companies and annual sales. There are only a dozen companies with sales exceeding 100 million yuan, and there are about three companies with annual sales exceeding 10,000 yuan. From the perspective of scientific research product development, it is still basically in the testing and imitation stage, with weak self-development capabilities and low investment in scientific research. Funds only account for % of sales, while in developed countries it is as high as %~%.
It can be seen that there is still a big gap between the technical level of my country's packaging machinery and foreign products. In the future, efforts must be made to increase the scientific and technological content. With the development of the economy, the following five major new technologies and developments may appear in packaging machinery.
Shorter delivery time
After the economy recovers, packaging workers will have to manage more production lines, projects and orders. They require filling machine suppliers to deliver a complete production line in the shortest manufacturing time. Budgets need to be considered, but the growing demands of various industries, especially the food and beverage industry, determine that they need highly integrated solutions within tight deadlines to cope with the current fierce market competition.
Flexibility and adaptability
Packaging machines have always been seeking to improve flexibility, because higher flexibility means that it can choose more different containers to accommodate hats, stickers, gloves and other products. Packaging staff want packaging machines that can accommodate containers of different sizes/shapes as a standard feature, without the need for additional accessories or custom solutions.
Fast changeover
In recent years, the increase in the value of stock keeping units and the order of retailers to avoid inventory as much as possible have prompted demands for faster changeover speeds in packaging machines. Market demand drives technological progress. During cleaning, the piston should be removed, the cylinder cleaned and the valves reset. Now, components like the piston, cylinder and valves can be cleaned by passing hot water or steam directly through the oil filling plug. For in-line filling machines, there is also a trend to support the reduction of common modification parts. Sometimes, in order to change the size of the in-line filling machine, no modification parts are needed.
Compliance with the Food Safety Modernization Act
For filling machines, any regulation in the bill that requires dust removal is a big deal. Filling machines tend to have multiple fluid paths because they are designed to retain inherent pistons, pumps, and check valves. The dust removal goal is to be able to quickly disassemble hoses, etc. without necessary tools, and there are no hidden fluid pathways.
Multi-Function Equipment
Packagers require machines with multiple functions, not just traditional single-group filler/sealers. For example, bottles and caps are packaged in the final step as if they were on a professional machine. The central pattern generator also hopes that the device will be flexible enough to accept more different packaging forms, involving shape, size, material structure and closure structure, etc.
Now that the direction of development is clear, what should we do?
First, cultivate and develop high-end equipment manufacturing industry and create well-known brands in the industry. The packaging machinery industry must give top priority to the cultivation and development of high-end equipment manufacturing, strengthen the research and development of core key technologies, break through weak links in key product areas, and create necessary conditions to seize the commanding heights of future industrial development, maintain sustainable development, and become bigger and stronger.
Secondly, improving the quality and efficiency of industrial development is an inherent requirement for transforming the mode of economic development. At present, the export volume of domestic packaging machinery is still very small, with a deficit of 100 million US dollars last year, which shows that a considerable part of the industry is still at the low end of the industry that relies on simple processing and cheap labor to increase efficiency, and there is still a long way to go. Product profit levels are very low. Coupled with multiple pressures such as rising prices, relative energy shortages, and high environmental protection requirements, the original comparative advantages of products have gradually weakened, while comparative disadvantages have become increasingly prominent.
Finally, strengthening research on common industrial technologies is a strong guarantee for improving the innovation capabilities of my country's packaging machinery industry. At present, the research on common technologies in my country's packaging machinery industry lags behind, has not formed a scale, and lacks systematicity and continuity. The results achieved are also very limited and need to be strengthened urgently.
