China Machinery Industry Federation is expected, from 2011 to 2015, China’s food and packaging machinery industry output value is expected to exceed 6,000 billion yuan, an annual average growth rate of approximately maintained at 16% level. However, China packaging machinery for over-reliance on foreign high-end technology has been seriously constrained China’s packaging industry sustained and stable development.

It is reported that China’s packaging industry behind the rapid development of a large number of complete sets of equipment with high technological content still rely on imports, a year in foreign exchange for imports of complete sets of high-end equipment. If a two-way stretch plastic film equipment, a production line near 100 million yuan,from the age of 70 introduced into the last century, so far, have import of such domestic production line 110. In addition, there are a large number of dairy industry, use of aseptic packaging boxes, filling equipment, packaging machines almost all for foreign companies.

Compared with foreign countries, China’s machinery manufacturing is mainly reflected in the gap between the level of technology. Such as high-pressure sterilization and other cutting-edge technology in the world, we are no one to develop this cutting-edge technology development requires both knowledge of the investment also need equipment, investment, enterprises are unwilling to invest, research institutes and no power, the long run, will be China and

the international advanced level will make the gap between the larger and larger. So called for the domestic packaging machine manufacturers can look to the future, take the road of Chinese-made packaging machine. Spark (Zhengzhou) Packaging machinery is working with the domestic packaging machinery manufacturers to jointly develop domestic and industrialization of packaging production line system. To revitalize national industry to make its own ontribution.

To face the future development trend of food packaging machines, domestic enterprises should be based on technological innovation, increase the intensity of independent innovation; step by step implementation of the “big strong small specialized” production and business model, the formation of “difference” competition in the market system; attention to green packaging, eliminate pollution and attach importance to environmental protection.

With the restructuring of the food industry, food manufacturers the urgent need for a variety of packaging machinery

1, packaging machine. Automatically measuring, bag making, filling, sealing, printing batch number, cutting and counting, and all other work; automated particle type, fluid and semi-liquid, powder type, film type, and capsule type packaging. There are bulk packaging pillow packaging machine, which is against the solids of the Pillow packaging design, suitable for packaging various types of solid rules-based objects such as food biscuits, bread, moon cake, candy and so on. For the bulk separation of tilting or the individual objects, package material shall be placed in the first box, or the tying swept up in a one, so that the formation of a whole only after the packaging on this machine.

2, filling machine. For mineral water, beer, milk and other beverage packaging liquid filling machine and sesame, fermented flour paste, tomato sauce, butter and other materials, filling paste filling machine groups.

3, sealing machine. This is mainly aimed at packaged food products. Sealing machine is filling a packaging container sealing machinery, in the product into containers, and in order to enable products to be kept under seal to maintain product quality and avoid product loss, the need for sealing packaging containers, which are sealing machine completed.

4, shrink machine. Shrink packaging is currently on the market, one of the more advanced packaging methods, which is the use of shrink film wrapped in the outside of the product or packaging, and heat, so that packing material shrinkage during cooling and thus bind tightly the product or packaging, fully shows the appearance of objects, improve product exhibitions, so as to increase the sense of beauty and value, while, through the shrinking machine packaged items can be sealed, moisture, pollution prevention, and to protect the goods from external shocks, has a certain buffer capacity, especially when used glassware packaging, to prevent broken glass container when flying, in addition, can reduce the product are demolished, the possibility of theft, shrink film shrink machine shrink by generated when a certain tension,, they can be to a group of items to be packaged bind tightly played rope a binding role, especially for more than a collection of articles and tray packaging. Therefore, this product can be widely used in a variety of commodity packaging.

In addition, as people’s awareness of environmental protection and social progress, food vendors are increasingly focusing on quality and stability, lower-cost packaging equipment, packaging machinery manufacturers also gradually machinery are small, flexible, multi-purpose, high-efficiency direction. This trend also includes saving time, reducing costs, by pursuit of a modularized, simple, then it can move packaging machinery.

The 21st century is the century environmental protection, environmental issues become increasingly important as more strained resources and energy to build a recycling economy and society, take the road of sustainable development has become the focus of global concern, and urgent tasks, and become a business strategy and human activities criteria. In order to meet the new demands of the times, plastic packaging materials In addition to asking the market to meet the quality and quantity of packaging such as the increasing requirements, its development must be to save resources, energy saving, easy to be recycled after use, easy to dispose of the environment or vulnerable consumers na or degradation as a technology development point of departure. China’s plastics industry has entered into energy-saving environmental protection era, plastic packaging, new materials, new techniques, new technologies and new products are emerging, and being high-performance, multi-function, actively adopt new materials, new technologies and broaden the application areas, as well as plastic packaging and coordinated development of environmentally friendly direction.

The development of recycling economy is the construction of a resource-saving and environment-friendly society and an important way to achieve sustainable development. Has insisted on developing equal emphasis on conservation, conservation priority, according to reduction, re-use, resource-oriented principle, vigorously promote energy-saving and land and materials to strengthen the comprehensive utilization of resources, improve the utilization of renewable resource recycling system, and the full implementation of clean production, the formation of low-input , low-cost, low emissions and high efficiency of conservation-oriented growth. Actively develop and promote resource conservation, substitution and recycling technologies, accelerate the pace of energy saving technological transformation of the high rate of consumption, heavy pollution and technological backwardness of the process and product implementation of the mandatory phase-out system with a price conducive to resource saving and fiscal policy.

Impedance permeability plastic packaging materials, as can be given good quality, freshness, flavor and extend shelf-life insurance functions by the rapid development and wide application, in addition to the widely used polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH), the recent years, the development of environmentally appropriate materials, promoting polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyethylene terephthalate (PEN), a total of polyamide (MXD6), silicon or aluminum oxide steam film (soft glass), nano-inorganic materials, such as the development of more compelling.

Functional packaging materials, such as functional preservation of film, sheet, microporous breathable film preservation, choose to packaging films, multi-functional heat shrinkable packaging film, as well as a special function, convenience (easy to Kaifeng, easy to re-seal) packaging materials and products, etc. will be even greater development. Aseptic packaging materials and technology The biggest advantage is the sterile conditions, without preservatives, no refrigeration, it can maximally retain the original nutrients of food and flavor, can significantly extend shelf life, convenient storage and transport, market development very quickly, use expanded, in addition to the dairy, fruit Khan, accounting for a larger share of the beverage, the will be further extended to pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and condiment areas.

Nano-composite packaging materials will be with the rapid development of nano-technology and rapid industrialization, due to its wear resistance, hardness, strength, resistance permeability, plasticity were significantly enhanced and improved, except for food packaging can be used for special packaging such as anti-static, anti-electromagnetic, explosion-proof and invisible, dangerous goods, packaging, etc. It is expected to promote the traditional plastic packaging materials, a huge change.

Environmentally friendly (environmental fitness) plastic packaging materials (or green plastic packaging materials), with the series of environmental management standards ISl4000 the implementation of a global hot spot of concern, including easy recycling of plastic packaging materials such as PET, PEN, easy to environmental degradation plastics (EDP) in the bio-degradable plastics, have become hot in the hot, others, such as zero pollution foam, thin-walled bottles and biodegradable material is also cause for concern.

Heat canned plastic bottles of juice and tea drinks packaging, with the traditional sterile paper packaging, three-piece metal cans, glass bottles has more ability to lower costs, material and transparent, light weight, easy to damage, environmental protection and good adaptability advantages, it has been more and more widely used, use of accounts for the entire city of more than half of canned heat. In addition to heat canned PET plastic bottles, the bottles are subject to greater attention in recent years, BOPP. BOPP bottle has the following advantages: the improvement of heat resistance, stretching through the PP process, canned temperature can be increased to 100 degrees Celsius, does not require special equipment, bottle handling, and to greatly improve the oxygen barrier: BOPP bottle does not absorb moisture, longer term storage, easy recovery: PET bottle production costs lower than 20%.

Packaging technology is an important symbol of modern civilization, while the packaging machinery to achieve the material guarantee of modern civilization. Packaging machinery and the close relationship between national economic development. The higher the level of national economic development, the higher the requirements of the packaging require the development of high speed packaging machinery, technology high level of species diversity, product quality is stable.

China’s packaging machinery industry in 2008 is still in good growth in the state: production and sales rise, profit growth rapidly increased exports in the machinery industry, outstanding performance in a “bright spots” in the industry. 2008 packaging machinery industry-wide main business income of 13.18 billion yuan, up 10.9% year on year in 2007; of these, major packaging machinery industry as the main revenue growth 24.39% compared to 31.70 percent during the same period in 2007 decreased by 7.31 percentage points, to become Machinery industry profits, one of the fastest growing industries.

Founding 60 years ago, our people’s living standards and people’s income has undergone tremendous changes in packaging machinery thus widely used in food, pharmaceutical, chemical and other various industries.

Food and other light industrial products only from the point of view, in China’s total exports account for 1 / 3 or more, are required to improve packaging grades, which for the development of packaging machinery has brought many opportunities, food packaging needs of a wide range of packaging machinery With the continuous improvement of people’s living standard, people’s consumption patterns from subsistence-based to enjoy the change, so packaging machinery industry is a sunrise industry.

Comprehensive upgrading of packaging machinery and equipment in China and the world packaging machinery development trend. Replacement of the main features are: a large number of transplants using a variety of civilian and military industrial modern high-precision technology, electronic technology, microelectronic technology, Edge Technology, fuzzy technology to accelerate and further improve the packaging machinery and equipment and production lines of the reliability, security, no job, etc. level of automation. Intelligent packaging will enter the field of machinery and equipment and production lines.

Many countries in the world of packaging machinery and equipment, production lines manufacturing groups and multinational companies are spending huge sums of money and organizational professionals in research and development, and strive to speed up the packaging machinery equipment, mechanical and electrical integration process. Packaging machinery development involves a variety of industries, China’s packaging machinery industry should mobilize all forces took over more technical issues, so that China’s packaging machinery and equipment to the world advanced level.

It is predicted that by 2013 U.S. demand for green plastic packaging will grow 3.4%. Statistics informed that the fastest growth is taking place is a bio-degradable plastic packaging and recyclable plastic packaging.

Bio-degradable plastic packaging is expected to rise in 2013 annual growth rate of nearly 13%, will promote the traditional bio-degradable plastic resin price competitiveness increased, the rapid expansion of production capacity, and reduce the price volatility of biodegradable plastics and petroleum-based plastic packaging materials.

In the recyclable plastic packaging and is expected to increase the overall average growth rate of joint green plastic packaging around the 3.3% annual growth rate, strong growth for the recycled plastic, plastic packaging content for more funding to work together to enhance the cycle collect the amount of recycled content. Reusable plastic packaging number predicted to be more slowly, 2.7% per year.

At present, China has become the largest plastic consumer, a huge market demand of plastic raw materials led to a huge gap. Further enhance the processing of waste plastics recycling production of renewable materials, can not only fill about 25% of plastic raw materials shortage, but also effective in reducing environmental pollution and energy consumption of resources. The news was announced by the end of October from Baotou City in Inner Mongolia, the inaugural China Plastics Industry Forum and the 2009 Plastic new technologies, new materials, new results on the exchange of the General Assembly learned information. Experts also pointed out that China’s current development of plastics recycling industry is still there are many bottlenecks, must be taken to break the five measures to enable them to truly embark on the track of scientific development.

According to the China Plastics Processing Industry Association, Liao genuine, China’s recycling of waste plastics over the past 30 years of development, has become a resource-based environmental protection industry, full of potential. At present, waste plastics recycling enterprises have more than 20000, in which small and medium-sized enterprises in the country there are dozens of plastic waste are located in parts of the professional market, which is characterized by intensive processing of transactions, and the supporting process integration, professional fine of clear division of labor. Recycling of waste plastics from production of 20 billion yuan in 2000 to the present 1,000 billion yuan.

China’s waste plastic recycling of domestic and imported sources include two parts. In 2008, the total amount of waste plastics recycling is about more than 1600 million tons, of which domestic recycling capacity of 900 million tons, imports more than 700 million tons. In 2009, the domestic plastics recycling industry, despite the financial crisis, but still achieved an overall growth in the whole year is expected to recycling waste plastics will be larger than 2008 levels.

As the waste plastics recycling industry, mergers and acquisitions, restructuring, mergers, holding and other forms of structural adjustment Damulakai, domestic and foreign industrial capital and financial capital, will compete in China’s vast waste plastics industry. Waste plastics recycling companies will split and strong comprehensive strength of enterprises will grow stronger, some small and medium enterprises will wither away. Waste plastic recycling into high-end products will also be low, the market will be more standardized, large-scale conditions for the development industry as a whole will become increasingly sophisticated.

CPPIA plastics recycling special committees the Secretary-General Ma Zhanfeng analysis showed that currently, the domestic waste plastics recycling industry are seven major bottleneck problems: one is our lack of macro-level of waste plastics recycling industry, the development of integrated planning, lack of waste plastics recycling industry and re-processing enterprises to support specific policies, in particular the lack of plastic source analysis and monitoring, consumers will be the same as low-quality recycled plastic products, misunderstanding, largely restricted waste plastics recycling industry’s healthy development; The second is to the existing waste plastics is specialized in processing, lack of management trading market, resulting in widespread confusion in management, lack of standards for recycled products, lack of technical research and development support, and poor quality of personnel situation, the urgent need for policy guidance and standards; the same industry price cut-throat competition among enterprises intensified, waste plastic processing enterprises in order to obtain raw materials have to increase the purchase price, the profitability of the existing fragile balance can easily be broken, resulting in large losses.

In addition, the domestic waste plastic import market confusion, the risk of foreign waste imports continue to grow. As China’s plastics recycling industry, the rise of unscrupulous foreign businessmen can not be readily processed or can not re-use of waste plastic garbage shoddy or non-normal channels, exports to China, not only seriously polluted the domestic environment but also to domestic plastics recycling industry, caused no small loss. Although the domestic environment continuously strengthen the supervision, but many small-scale waste plastics recycling enterprises are concentrated in rural areas, technical inputs, lack of advanced process equipment, resulting in secondary pollution is widespread, in order to make a profit at the expense of environmental pollution of the phenomenon is difficult to stop. In addition, the amount of waste plastics in China an increasingly large source of waste plastics are still no reliable survey data, as well as guide the development of the industry classification of technical specifications, thus affecting the industry, technological progress and level of treatment improved.

In view of this, the participating experts, nearly 300 scholars and business representatives put forward five measures to crack these problems. One is to increase the added value of waste plastic recycling. At present, many enterprises are still using the traditional techniques of waste plastics recycling, difficult to completely remove all contaminants, resulting in greatly reduced value-added products. The realization of this goal, under the conditions of the existing process is entirely possible. Related enterprises should seek strong technical force with professional bodies, select t profit of 1,000 yuan or more processing projects and the corresponding technical, and only way for companies to withstand market risks. Second is to improve the conditions of process technology. Take the path of large-scale introduction of new process line is the most effective way to reduce costs, but also waste plastics recycling company an important means to achieve competitive advantage. Third, focus on cleaner production. Waste plastics industry should continue to improve the design, improve management, from the source to reduce pollution and improve the comprehensive utilization of resources. The fourth is an extension of the promotion of industrial development. Domestic waste plastic recycling industry chain of points, sorting, cleaning, granulation, or modified, molding, meticulous division of labor, but it is so that each part of the cost of recycling waste plastic overlay makes the final cost of a significant increase in terms of maturity Enterprises can extend the industrial chain from top to bottom, this can be significant cost savings. Fifth, the state economic policies pursued by recycling of waste plastics recycling industry should be inclined to encourage its path toward recycling economy.

This new packaging product development company spokesman that the water-soluble packaging products will bring about another industry, market opportunities, describe such a diversity and flexibility of biodegradable plastic materials would be extremely welcomed by the modern man. The spokesman said: “Just think, this plastic packaging products can be of any use of biological decomposition of the ink color, pattern printing, but also to meet the demand made of a different size and shape. Not to mention the general retail market, it shipped the army, air , pharmaceutical, automotive and other industries need to use plastic bags. all walks of life can play a creative, arbitrary design distinctive packaging style, breaking the old tradition of enterprise products bring a new look. “

Weakness in the European market, prompting UPM-Kymmene Group and other European paper makers will be focused on Latin America and the Chinese market, UPM-Kymmene, said Chairman of the Board Bjoern Wahlroos.

“These districts have a new competitive raw materials, as well as the final product demand is rising markets, expansion of the forces in these areas is right,” Wahlroos 4 in Helsinki said in an interview. “Most of the global paper manufacturer in Latin America to expand pulp business expansion in China and India, paper business, because this is where you can play a role.”

UPM-Kymmene in July last year, took over the Uruguay pulp mill and a eucalyptus plantation in order to South American countries to expand production and reduce production capacity in Finland. This transaction will help to UPM-Kymmene paper mill in China to provide low-cost pulp supply. In Latin America, eucalyptus in 7 to 10 years time you can start logging, while the spruce and birch in Finland will have to 60 years. Although the closure of UPM-Kymmene of Finland region can not be any other major paper mills, Wahlroos said he was convinced that UPM will be similar with the plywood business reorganization and other businesses to continue to take effective measures.

UPM-Kymmene plywood sector in January said it would dismiss 830 employees. UPM-Kymmene and Stora Enso are in Finland to reduce their employees and reduce capacity, to cope with falling demand.

Vacuum packaging technology originated in the 20th century, 40 years. Since 1950, polyester, polyethylene plastic film packaging has been successfully applied to the vacuum packaging machine will be a rapid development, its technical development trend is mainly reflected in high productivity, automation, stand-alone multi-function, the composition of production lines, using new technologies related to these 5 categories.

1, high productivity. Vacuum packaging machine’s productivity has developed into several pieces per minute, the number 10, thermoforming – filling – sealing machine productivity up to 500 / min or more.

2, automation. Such as Zhengzhou Spark 500 pairs of chamber vacuum packaging machine with a vacuum, sealing, printing, cooling off the completion of the function, mainly used for tea, peanut, shrimp, corn and other food packaging.

3, stand-alone multi-functional. The stand-alone to achieve multi-functional, can be easily expand the scope of use. Multi-function must be used to achieve stand-alone modular design, through the transformation and combination of function modules, to be applied to different packaging materials, packaging materials, packaging requirements of the different types of vacuum packaging machine. Representative products are owned by BOSCH Germany HESSER plant in spindle wheel multi-station bag vacuum packing machine, its bag, weighing, filling, vacuuming, sealing and other features on a single machine to complete the .

4 to form a production line. When you need to become more functional for a long time, will all of the features will focus on a single machine on a very complex structure, operation and maintenance is not easy, when can the different functions, efficiency, matching the success of several machines can be a more complete portfolio of production lines.

5, using the relevant new technologies. Extensive use in packaging methods to replace the inflatable packaging vacuum packaging, the inflatable component, packaging materials and inflatable packaging machine to the study closely integrated; in control technology, greater use of computer technology and microelectronics technology; in the application of heat pipe sealing and cold sealing technology, an advanced device can also be directly installed in the vacuum packaging machine, such as the installation of a computer-controlled combination of coarse-grained materials, high-precision scales; in rotation or vacuum packaging machine, the application of advanced high-speed circular surface cam indexing machinery.

Reported that China Machinery Industry Federation, said that at present, production-oriented enterprises to the urgent need for automated packaging machinery and domestic packaging machinery industry is relatively undeveloped contradictions become increasingly prominent, foreign packaging equipment suppliers inroads into China’s various production sectors, and is still in Among the expansion of domestic packaging machinery industry caused by pressure.

To enhance the development level of China’s packaging machinery industry, should focus on two aspects: One is to increase the generic technology R & D investment, to enhance independent innovation capability. Second, is to create to strive for excellence and enhance the level design. Grasp the idea of packaging machinery industry, the design flexibility, and space for domestic customers short distance, you can get more information on the advantages of customerdemand, research and development designed for domestic and international customer demand products.
