The current situation and development trend of packaging machinery in China

According to estimates by China Machinery Industry Federation, the average annual growth rate is maintained at approximately 16%. However, behind the rapid development of China's packaging industry, it is startling that a large number of high-tech equipment still rely on imports. A large amount of foreign exchange is used every year to import high-end equipment. Experts in the industry believe that China’s packaging machinery is overly dependent on foreign high-end technology. It has severely restricted the sustained and stable development of China's packaging industry.

Compared with foreign countries, the gap in China's machinery manufacturing level is mainly reflected in the technology. The technological power of the company itself is dependent on production, so the development of research is faced with the limitations of scientific research technology and laboratory equipment, and a new technology cannot be directly applied to production without the prior development of the institute. The development of cutting-edge technologies requires both intellectual input and equipment investment, companies are reluctant to invest, and scientific research institutions have no power. In the long run, the gap between China and the international advanced level will become increasingly wide. The Chinese packaging industry should proceed from reality and take the path of introducing technology and combining it with independent innovation. It is difficult to rely solely on independent innovation to develop. China's packaging industry is relying on comparative advantages to embark on the road of development. There are many disciplines involved in automatic packaging machinery technology. “Some companies can solve it on their own, and some must be solved jointly with relevant professional companies or research institutes. As for environmental protection products, the issues involved are broader, so in these areas, our awareness of independent innovation is still very good. Not enough!” said the expert.

Mechatronics is a general trend. At present, the competition for food packaging machinery is becoming increasingly fierce. In the future, food packaging machinery will cooperate with industry automation to promote the overall level of packaging equipment and develop multifunctional, high-efficiency and low-consumption food packaging equipment. A complete mechatronic system that eliminates the tedious and unreasonable parts of conventional packaging machinery and integrates the advanced technologies of various disciplines, bringing deep to the packaging machinery in terms of design, manufacture and control Changes have fundamentally changed the status quo of packaging machinery.

Emphasis on green packaging to eliminate pollution and attach importance to environmental protection, healthy and orderly development of food packaging industry, based on scientific and technological innovation, increase the degree of independent innovation; gradually promote the "big strong and special" production and business model, the formation of "differentiated" market competition system.
