Liquid filling packaging charm

At present, the higher the level of liquid food packaging machinery beverage countries based mainly Germany, France, Japan, Italy and Sweden, several major international giants such as Germany Krones Group, France Sidel, KHS company still occupy worldwide most of the market share.

    However, China's export volume and the amount of nearly three years of steady growth trend has emerged, also illustrates the technical part of the domestic liquid food packaging equipment is relatively mature, in part to meet the domestic demand, the more the support of other countries and regions, equipment needs.

    Situation liquid food packaging

    Areas covered by more liquid foods, including dairy products, beverages, edible oil, spices and the like. Benefit from the rapid growth of China's macro economy, China's liquid food industry has shown rapid development trend. According to Freedonia report classification of liquid foods are divided into beer and wine, dairy products, carbonated drinks, water, juice, tea and coffee and other beverages. Freedonia statistics, in 2001 China's liquid food packaging machinery demand of 1.25 billion yuan, 2.66 billion yuan in 2006, 2011 was 5.62 billion yuan; 2016 total demand of liquid food packaging machinery will reach 8.24 billion yuan, 2021 reached 11.5 billion yuan, 2001--2021 average annual compound growth rate of 11.74%.

    Today, filling machinery, especially drinks, beer filling machinery and food packaging machinery, high-speed, complete, high degree of automation and reliability is good, is currently the industry trends toward filling machinery. Multifunction same device can be tea drinks, coffee drinks, soy milk and fruit drinks, and other beverages hot filling, can be glass and PET bottles filling of liquid filling and packaging industry to meet rapidly confidential development needs, and actively participate in international competition, we must break the small and scattered industry trend to continue moving forward in the direction of sophisticated.

    In the dairy industry, acidic milk drink dairy market in China for three consecutive years maintained a more than 30% growth, to become the dairy industry category greatest potential for development. Plastic bottles is an acidic milk drink containers used by the fastest-growing type of packaging, its growth rate even more than the growth rate of the product.

    Liquid Packaging Development Direction

    China's domestic liquid food packaging machinery market competition is manifested in high, medium and low three levels: the low-end market is dominated by a large number of small and medium enterprises, producing a large number of low-level, low-level, low-price products, a large number of these companies located in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong and Shandong and other regions; the mid-market is a certain economic strength and new product development capacity of enterprises, but their products are generic, less innovation and overall technical level is not high, and the level of automation products lower, unable to enter the high-end market; and high-end market, there have been able to produce high-end products of enterprises, they produced some of the products has reached the international advanced level, can be large multinational companies with similar products in the domestic market and some overseas markets direct competition. Overall, China is still in the low-end market competition, the high-end market is still importing more, with the continuous development of new domestic products, continue to break new technologies and domestic equipment significant cost advantages, imported equipment in our liquid food packaging machinery market share will reduce gradually replaced by domestic equipment to enhance export capacity.

    Future roadmap: Green into the high-tech, intelligent

    Market matures, new products appear also raised new demands, it is learned, automatic liquid packaging machine in the production of liquid commodities, the high speed automatic filling packaging speed for enterprises greatly reduce production costs. In some large liquid drug and beverage manufacturers, the vast majority of production processes are completed by modern machinery, automatic liquid packaging machine is one of them. Automatic liquid filling machine packaging machinery industry as the main leader for the rapid development of China's packaging to improve a strong protection, and some have to make up for gaps in China's commodity technology, automatic packaging machines made in China have met the basic needs of the market. Machinery increased automation, automation technology, mechatronics control is widely used in packaging, these devices not only improve productivity, but also to ensure the quality of packaging is the industry enterprises the necessary equipment.

    Currently, automatic liquid packaging machine automation rely on technology to achieve a portable production, but also to achieve a high efficiency of production, which for businesses and markets are very important, so that the liquid products can also rely on automatic liquid packaging machine come any time to adjust production tasks to be synchronized with the development of the market.

    Insiders on the future development of the beverage packaging industry confidence

    First, the packaging industry to promote technological progress in the development of the beverage industry. Beverage packaging market in the future, consumption of raw materials, low cost, easy to carry unique advantages must decide the beverage packaging innovation in technology, in order to keep pace with the development of the beverage, the usual cans or beer glass as a packaging material, red wine, liquor, coffee, honey and carbonated drinks and other beverages, with the continuous improvement of the functional film, plastic flexible container to replace bottled been widely used is an inevitable trend. Packaging materials and production processes of green, marking the solvent-free compound and extrusion lamination of multi-layer coextrusion functional film will get more applications in the beverage packaging.

Second, product packaging requirements for differentiation. A greater variety of products, requires a more differentiated packaging has become a trend in the development of the beverage industry, beverage packaging machinery technology development will be the ultimate driving force behind this trend. Next 3--5-year beverage market in the development of the existing fruit juice, tea, bottled water, functional drinks, and carbonated beverages and other products, will be the low-sugar or sugar-free drinks, as well as natural, milky category and other healthy drinks direction. Product development trend will further promote the development of differentiated packaging, such as PET aseptic cold filling packaging, HDPE milk packaging and aseptic carton packaging. Beverage diversity of product development will ultimately drive innovation in beverage packaging materials and structures.
