Food and packaging machinery market create tremendous business opportunities
China Investment Consulting’s latest analysis shows that in 2008 China Food and Packaging Machinery Industry sales output value reached 126.2 billion yuan. Among them, food machinery product sales revenue of 62.066 billion yuan, growing 23.28% over 2007; packaging machinery product sales revenue of 64.134 billion yuan, growing 32.59% over 2007. 2009 1-5 months, China’s food and packaging machinery manufacturing industry sales output value of 23.264 billion yuan, compared with growth of 7.36% over the same period in 2008. Is estimated that from 2011 to 2015, food and packaging machinery industry total output value is expected to breach 6000 billion yuan, an average annual growth rate of approximately maintained at 16% level.
According to the report, domestic food and packaging machinery market seems to be promising. However, some experts advise, we should note the rapid development of China’s packaging industry implicit in the technology behind the crisis. It is reported that every year a large number of China’s imports of complete sets of high-tech high-end equipment. 70 years from the last century began, so far, China’s import of only a two-way stretch is similar to plastic film production line equipment, as many as 110, which can reach nearly million per production line. Industry experts believe that China’s food and packaging machinery for over-reliance on foreign high-end technology has been severely hampered China’s food and packaging industry. On the other hand, especially since the financial crisis, China’s machinery manufacturing industry has accelerated the industrial upgrading, product upgrading, including the application of automation products have become indispensable step. China’s food and packaging machinery industries have also recognized the gap in this area, is stepping up the introduction of automation technology and products, to improve their technological competitiveness at the same time, but also for automation has brought a huge market.
Then, in the food and packaging machinery industry enterprises in the end What are the automation products, they are how to choose automation products for?
Automation products in the food and packaging industry, application and market
As the packaging process, including filling, wrapping, sealing and other major processes, as well as before and after the associated operations (such as cleaning, stacking and demolition, etc.), measurement, testing and many other processes. Therefore applied to the relatively broad automation products. To sum up, mainly mounted main control system, drive control, motion control, man-machine interface, and these types of sensors. Among them, there are embedded control systems, PLC, IPC, on-site bus; transmission controlling the inverter, DC drive motor; motion control with servo, stepper, exercise control; man-machine interface are mainly text display, touch screen, flat panel computer electrical components, etc.; sensors include electro-optic switches, temperature sensors, pressure sensors, trip switches. Which, like PLC, inverter and the application of human-machine interface, the main focus on beer and beverage packaging equipment, convenience food production lines, automatic packaging machine, corrugated cardboard (boxes) production equipment, dairy packaging equipment.
In the recovery of 66 valid questionnaires, 60 readers said that the enterprise is located or the department will in the coming year the purchase of new automation products, involving 28 food and packaging machinery enterprises, accounting for 93% of enterprises involved in the investigation.
With the food and packaging industries, upgrade, food packaging business-to-use gradually reduced labor costs, automation products in the food and packaging machinery applications continue to broaden. The survey shows that the recent food and packaging machinery manufacturers are considering purchasing automation products, man-machine interface, the highest proportion of products, a total of 30 readers involved 18 companies have chosen this option. As the food and packaging machinery products of high middle and low level of automation gap between the large, high profile food and packaging machinery in the general application of PLC, frequency converter, a joint venture low-voltage electrical products, part of the application of human-machine interface. Therefore, man-machine interface, the food and packaging machinery companies the option to purchase the highest intentions, but also can be seen that food and packaging machinery companies want to achieve industrial upgrading aspirations.
Purchase intention survey of users occupying the second position, respectively yes yes servo and inverter products, there are 24 readers have chosen these two, enterprises involved in the home, respectively 15,12. Investigations revealed that motor is still mainly made in ordinary motor and inverter motor-based, and only a small amount of imported. For the inverter, despite a growing number of packaging machinery manufacturers to design the drive inverter-based programs, but for the majority of packaging machinery, the converter will not necessarily selected electrical products, due to rate is still low, in large standard gauge machine and packaging production line may be a larger space for development. PLC to buy the product and sensor products for 21 with the intention of the number of people involved in the enterprise, respectively 12, 10, which may be related to PLC and the sensor itself is in the machinery industry, the application has been relatively mature.
