According to statistics, the global packaging machinery reached 29 billion U.S. dollars in 2005 and is expected to grow at an annual rate of 5.3%. The fastest growing packaging machinery production is in developing countries and regions. Developed countries will benefit from stimulating domestic demand and seek suitable local manufacturers in developing countries, especially investment in food processing plants to provide packaging machinery and equipment. At present, the United States, Germany, Switzerland, Italy packaging machinery will cooperate with the trend of industrial automation, toward the development of R & D technical personnel and higher speed packaging machines and other direction, and now introduce the United States and Germany's development trends are as follows.
New Trends in the Development of Packaging Machinery in the United States The US packaging industry started in the early 20th century and has developed rapidly since World War II. It has gradually established and formed a complete and independent industrial system including packaging materials, packaging technology, and packaging machinery. The total output value of its packaging industry accounts for 3% of the national economic output value. According to the US industry survey, the largest use of packaging machinery is the food industry, followed by the household cleaning products and cosmetics industry, medical supplies and the tobacco industry.
The speed of innovation has always been the first in the food industry as the largest use of the United States packaging machinery, almost all models, models are used in the food industry. Among them, soft drinks have the largest annual demand for packaging machinery, accounting for 50% in 2005; the food industry's demand for packaging machinery grew at an average annual rate of 7% between 1994 and 2005. It is precisely because the US food industry launches thousands of new products every year, thereby speeding up the replacement of packaging machinery, so the packaging machinery innovation speed required by the US food industry is always at the top.
Paying attention to the brand brand is the soul of the company. From the market share of packaging machinery, the top ten packaging machinery companies in the US are: Barry- Wehmillre, Beinis, SA-SIBSPA, Avery Deeison, Bosch, CrownCork&ha, DougalsMachine, RAJoues Cohpany, Kliklk, and Krones. Their success in business depends on three aspects: First, they strive to improve the brand awareness of the company's packaging machinery; Second, attach importance to the company's sales performance; Third, attach great importance to the company's product after-sales service.
Automation, efficiency, and energy saving of packaging machinery The current promising packaging machinery in the United States is a horizontal pillow microcomputer-controlled packaging machine equipped with a servo motor and a power control device with a good film tension. In the future, microelectronics, computers, and industrial robots Smart, image sensor technology and new materials will be used more and more widely in packaging machinery. Packaging machinery will tend to be automated, high-efficiency, and energy-saving.
Automated operating procedures have been applied to more advanced packaging systems, such as the application of PLG equipment and data collection systems to represent the trend of advanced packaging systems. To ensure a high level of productivity, automatic inspection systems and highly efficient automation systems are essential.
The packaging industry uses lighter materials to reduce shipping costs, uses specially designed components and systems to reduce production time, and works with suppliers and manufacturers to provide multiple packaging operations with minimal use of materials.
The application of new technology to the packaging automation process has been widely used. To cater to consumers, the US packaging industry is increasingly using information labeling systems. Due to government requirements for packaging products labeled with nutrients, instructions for use, and bar codes, the labeling system is oriented toward multi-functional information development.
American scientists have developed a brand new integrated circuit detector that can measure the time of deterioration of a certain food or certain kind of beverage. This new device for food quality assurance consists of a sensor and a scanner. Its energy comes from the radio waves emitted by the scanner. The main material of the sensor is lead. When you package the food, place it in a food box. When testing, the inspector only needs to point the scanner at the radio wave of food, and the radio wave signal from the scanner will cause the food to vibrate. At the same time, the music wave will be emitted. The music wave will be reflected on the box wall of the food box first, and then Conducted to the sensor, by using a standard database to calibrate the vibration level, the time of the vibration conduction and the conduction speed of the music score, the time of the detected food deterioration can be determined instantaneously, and the detection result is quite accurate.
Packaging tends to be diversified, multi-purpose development The packaging industry is rapidly adapting to changes in consumer demand, and production tends to diversify. Taking the food industry as an example, due to the fact that today's American consumer demand for food has changed in the direction of multiple specifications, diversification, and specialization, the food processing industry has invested its expenses in developing packaging lines that are more flexible and mobile. It usually takes 2-3 years to develop a new packaging product in the past few years, and now it takes only half a year to get new products to market. This fully shows that the U.S. packaging industry is fast and short in developing new varieties and new products.
As the packaging industry is pursuing a combination, simplicity, and portable packaging equipment, packaging machinery manufacturers are increasingly focusing on the development of highly efficient, versatile, smaller, more flexible and flexible packaging equipment.
Providing more convenient and safe packaging According to the US Census Bureau's forecast, the United States will enter an aging society by 2025, and the US packaging community will fully consider the potential needs of elderly consumers for packaging products and begin to develop social characteristics suitable for the aging of the future. Packaging, such as with a zipper cover, easy to open the metal top cover double-finger pull ring, the packaging industry is committed to providing consumers with more convenient packaging.
Packaging Design Moves in Accordance with International Standards U.S. companies are committed to seeking attractive packaging that is unique to the global market in terms of packaging materials, equipment, and sales. In order to compete in the global market, manufacturers are working to develop a policy that will allow them to meet the development trends of international standards that designers emphasize.
As Mr. Charles Yuska, President of the American Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Association, said: "We are entering a new world of mechatronics, laser scanning, radio frequency transmission, nanotechnology and simplified systems."
New trends in the development of German packaging machinery The design of German packaging machinery is based on market research and market analysis, and strives to serve customers, especially large companies. With the development of science and technology and the intensification of market competition, the requirements of customers on mechanical properties are also getting higher and higher. There are mainly the following requirements: 1. Improve productivity to meet the requirements of delivery and reduce process costs. The need for some products, but also requires packaging machinery and production machinery convergence. 2, to meet the needs of product updates, packaging machinery to have a higher flexibility and flexibility. 3, less equipment failure, out of the fault can carry out remote diagnostic services. 4. Little pollution to the environment, including noise, dust and waste pollution. 5. The investment in equipment purchase should be as low as possible and the price should be as low as possible.
German packaging machinery manufacturers and design departments have taken the following measures to meet customer requirements:
A few years ago, automation technology only accounted for 30% of the packaging machinery design. Now it accounts for more than 50%. It uses a lot of microcomputer design and mechatronics control to improve the degree of automation of packaging machinery. Its purpose: First, to increase productivity. The second is to improve the flexibility and flexibility of the equipment; the third is to improve the packaging machine's ability to complete complex actions, that is, the use of robots to complete the packaging process.
Packaging machine automation design has the following two main features:
1 Each robot is controlled by a separate computer to a single packaging machine. In order to complete the complex packaging operations, it needs to be completed by multiple robots. Under the computer-controlled camera capture information and monitoring, the robotic manipulator completes the prescribed actions according to the instructions of the computer program to ensure the quality of the package.
2 has a high resolution of the material and thickness in the packaging process, the thickness of the packaging material and material changes are not easy to distinguish the human eye, so when designing the packaging machine often use computer-controlled cameras and detectors to distinguish packaging material thickness and material The change. Cameras have now been developed to self-check and discern images of the camera and display it on the screen. At present, the rotational speed of the machine during processing cannot be changed. In the future, the rotational speed should be changed according to the change of the material, so that the work can be controlled in an optimized state, the packaging process can be completed in the shortest time, and the automatic cleaning, automatic disinfection and automatic can be realized. clean.
Increase productivity, reduce costs, and maximize production requirements German packaging machinery, especially food packaging machinery, features high-speed packaging, high degree of automation, and high reliability. Increasing the rotational speed of the machine is a complex issue. The faster the speed, the lower the production cost of the single piece, but the area of ​​use of the plant will increase. In addition, the motor speed is also limited, so you can't think how fast it is. In general, increasing the speed by 15% to 20% will bring a series of complicated problems.
To increase productivity, in addition to increasing the speed, we can also try to solve it from other sources:
1 using continuous work or multi-headed work. There are intermittent and continuous working methods for packaging machinery. When designing, they should strive to design continuous work and increase productivity. There can also be multiple production lines in a single device to produce the same product or several different products. Must improve reliability.
2 Reduce scrap rate and provide fault analysis system. The damage caused by waste to production is enormous, not only the loss of the product, but also the loss of material. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the scrap rate as much as possible; when the packaging machinery is sold, it is also necessary to provide a fault analysis system for the maintenance service, that is, perform modal analysis to find faults, or perform remote diagnosis through the Internal network to satisfy the customer's needs as much as possible. In the future, the packaging machinery should be further intelligentized, that is, the equipment should find its own faults and solve the faults by itself in order to reduce the scrap rate and the failure rate so that the normal productivity can be improved.
3 Integrate product production machinery and packaging machinery. Many products are then packaged at the end of production, which also helps improve product productivity. For example, German-made chocolate production equipment and packaging equipment are controlled by a single system. The key to the integration between the two is to solve the problem of productivity matching. Packaging machinery is often the bottleneck of production. Therefore, equipment with different productivity must be provided.
Adapting to product changes, designing devices with good flexibility and flexibility To make packaging machines with good flexibility and flexibility, and to increase the degree of automation, a large number of microcomputer technologies, module technologies, and unit combinations must be used. In order to adapt to the variety of packaging products and packaging types, the flexibility and flexibility of packaging machinery and equipment are often manifested in the following three aspects:
1 amount of flexibility. It can not only pack a single product, but also adapt to the flexibility of the packaging 2 of different batch products. The entire unit is made up of units that can be adapted to changes in the product by using one or more units.
3 supply flexibility.
Units are combined to supply each unit together, such as a candy packer, on a common basis, combining different units, three feed inlets, and four different folding packaging formats so that one machine can be simultaneously Pack 8 to 10 different kinds of candy. Operated by multiple robots, under the supervision of a video camera, directing their movements and packaging different types of candy in different ways according to instructions. If the product changes, simply change the program in the camera, so that the device has a good flexibility and flexibility.
Provide packaging equipment Germany's packaging machinery design, based on user requirements, provide production companies with a structural and economical integrity of the system program, and use computer simulation technology demonstration operations to the user to see, solicit the views of users to modify. When providing production lines or production line equipment for users, we pay special attention to the integrity of complete sets of equipment. No matter whether it is high-tech, high-value-added equipment or simpler equipment, it is provided according to the matching requirements.
German packaging machinery manufacturers will also provide complete sets of equipment as their own efforts. Such as a beverage filling line, there are more than 200 microcomputer parts, there are many pipeline displays, there are more than 100 kinds of software programs to control various packaging actions. To meet the productivity of 1200 bottles/minute, two lines must work together. Therefore, the production of the entire beverage filling line needs to occupy half the area of ​​the football field, and all the equipments are required to be installed in one manufacturer. Associating with the current weakness in the production of packaging machinery in China is that there are many single production machines, and there are few assembly lines; there are many mainframes, few auxiliary devices, and poor matching. This approach of Germany is worthy of our reference.
Universal use of computer simulation design technology With the constant acceleration of new product development speeds, the German packaging machinery design has generally adopted computer simulation technology, which means that various machine elements are stored in a computer in the form of a database. After the drawings are digitized and entered into the computer, the computer can automatically Synthesized as a three-dimensional model. Then input the actual production data and indicators, and input all kinds of possible failures. The computer three-dimensional model can be modeled on the actual work situation, demonstrate how much productivity can be achieved, how much waste products, the various aspects of the production line Whether it can match production, where the bottleneck is, the customer can see the curve displayed on the display at a glance, and can modify the model according to the customer's opinion. Computer synthesis is fast, so modification work is quick and easy until the customer or designer is satisfied. The use of computer simulation design technology has greatly shortened the development cycle of packaging machinery.
Packaging machinery design should not only pay attention to its function and efficiency, but also pay attention to its economy. However, the economy is not entirely the cost of the machinery and equipment itself, and more importantly, the operating cost, because equipment depreciation costs only 6% to 8% of the cost, and the rest is the operating cost.
Throughout the development trends of the United States and Germany, although they have their own characteristics, automation, high efficiency, and energy saving will be the common pursuit of packaging machinery manufacturers.
