Three major contradictions in food packaging machinery

At present, domestic food packaging and processing machinery, although it has formed a relatively complete product system in terms of general technology and conventional equipment, it is still unsatisfactory in key equipment and key technologies. In the process of rapid development of Chinese food packaging machinery, people have neglected the development of an integral part of the packaging and processing machinery technology industry chain, leading to several major contradictions in the development stage of food packaging machinery in China:

1. The contradiction between the low level of primary products and the high safety requirements of the end product. Food is a highly time-sensitive food. During processing and packaging, it is necessary to ensure that the various microbial indicators of the end product meet the requirements for food safety. There is a large gap between the microbial indicators of food in China and those of developed countries. This requires that in the food processing process, the technical performance of the processing and packaging equipment used has higher requirements in terms of guaranteeing the safety of the end product. However, various food companies competed for the market in order to make a difference in their own products, artificially thickened and flavored raw materials, changed the original processing technology of raw materials, and thus further magnified the technology of processing and packaging equipment. responsibility.

2. To break through key technologies, in addition to the need for sufficient R&D financial support, it is more important to be able to digest and absorb relevant foreign advanced technologies, and to integrate breakthrough and integration innovations to enhance the overall reliability of the equipment. Sex and high security. This requires highly qualified and talented people with the ability to integrate technology and innovation.

3. The contradiction between the industry's special requirements and the lack of compound technical talents is a comprehensive achievement of related technical disciplines in food processing and packaging equipment, and also a key technology and equipment that needs to be broken through at home.

Therefore, the contradiction between the industry's development pattern and the lack of macro-orientation is the particularity of the food packaging machinery industry: wide-ranging technology, comprehensiveness, and large market development space. However, the industry’s capital composition is relatively simple, the structure is relatively decentralized, and companies are locked up between each other, technological monopolies, and behind closed doors, the phenomenon is more serious. At the technical level, most of them are low-level general-purpose conventional equipment production, and highly-qualified talents are extremely lacking. There are only a handful of manufacturers with independent innovation and R&D capabilities.
