Demand for hardware packaging machinery is increasing year by year

In recent years, the demand for packaging machinery in various industries in China has been increasing year by year. Although there are a lot of domestic packaging industries, relatively few of our country's nearly 100 types of hardware packaging machinery can not meet the needs of many industries. At the same time, the world's packaging machinery has entered a new phase. According to the forecast of the United States Census Bureau, the United States will enter an aging society by 2025. The US packaging community has fully considered the potential demand of older consumers for packaging products and began to develop a packaging that adapts to the characteristics of the aging society in the future, such as with a zipper. Covers, easy-to-open metal lids, two-finger pull rings, etc. The packaging community is committed to providing consumers with more convenient packaging. In fact, hardware packaging machinery still lacks.

In recent years, China still has a big gap compared with the advanced level in other countries and urgently needs to be improved. When the investment for research and development accounts for 1% of the company's sales, it is difficult for the company to survive. It can barely maintain 2% of the company's sales, and only 5% of the company's competitiveness, while the investment of China's food packaging equipment companies for research and development is also average. Less than 1%. According to statistics, the national R&D expenditure only accounts for 0.3% – 0.5% of the company’s sales revenue, R&D personnel only account for 3.4% – 4% of the employees, and the experimental conditions of the institutes and institutions of higher education are behind.

Compared with the level of scientific research investment abroad, China’s scientific research investment is seriously insufficient, which leads to a low degree of automation in China's food equipment industry, and poor market satisfaction capability. There are many stand-alone products and complete sets of equipment; there are many mainframes and few auxiliary devices; Many, high-tech, high value-added, high-productivity products; less primary processing equipment, deep processing equipment; common models, special requirements, special materials processing models less. Product performance compared with similar foreign products, low production capacity, high energy consumption, average energy consumption is 4-6 times that of developed countries. In particular, the performance gap of large-scale complete sets of equipment is even larger. The production capacity of domestically advanced models is about 1/2 that of foreign advanced levels, and the overall technological level of China's food equipment is about 20 years behind developed countries. In fact, it is not anxious that hardware packaging is behind the rapid development of China's packaging industry. A large number of complete sets of equipment with high technological content still rely on imports. A large amount of foreign exchange is used annually to import high-end equipment. For example, a two-way stretching device for plastic films, a production line of nearly 100 million yuan, has been introduced since the 1970s. So far, 110 lines of such production lines have been imported. In addition, aseptic packaging boxes and filling equipment, which are used in large quantities in the dairy industry, are almost all supplied to a foreign company. The problem that machinery needs to solve is not China's only.
