4.Development status of Japan packaging machinery    

Japan since the 1960s. Demand for packaging machinery has soared and production has grown rapidly. At present, it has occupied the leading position in the world packaging machinery industry. Packaging machinery sales ranked second in the world, second only to the United States. Japan divides packaging machinery into three categories, namely small and inner packaging, outer packaging and packaging machinery, and supporting machines (such as feeders). Japan's food packaging machinery, although small and medium-sized single machine. However, the device is small in size, high in precision, easy to install, convenient to operate, and high in automation.    

Japanese packaging machinery is mainly to seize two core technologies. First, computer technology entered the field of packaging machinery, and second, the development of servo motor driven packaging machinery. Successfully developed a microcomputer-controlled horizontal forming filling and sealing machine, and realized practical use. As a trigger, various packaging machines began to load microcomputers in just a short time. after that. In addition, the heat sealing machine equipped with a heat pipe was successfully developed and put into practical use.

Since the 1980s, with the prosperity of China's commodity economy and the improvement of the people's livelihood, the prospects of packaging machinery packaging technology are very optimistic. At present, China is mainly used for food packaging. In recent years, the state has increased the supervision of the quality and safety of food and medicine, and has put forward new requirements for the production, processing and packaging technology of food.     

Although the level of packaging machinery packaging technology in China has improved, China's packaging machinery packaging technology is obviously in a weak position in competition compared with developed gardens. About 30% of China's packaging machinery industry has a low level of repeated construction. It is mainly based on a single machine, with low technology content and low degree of automation. It is less used in new technologies, new processes and new materials, and cannot meet the requirements of the current development of food enterprises in China. 

Problems facing the packaging and food machinery industry 

1.R&D funding is low and technical strength is weak. National R&D expenditures only account for 0.2%-0.3% of the company's sales revenue, and R&D personnel account for 3.3%-4% of the employees. Some enterprises mainly copy and imitate similar products at home and abroad. They do not have their own research and development strength, and their research investment is small. Low price competition.

2. Low level of repetition is too much, product technology content is low, manufacturing process is simple, processing equipment accuracy requirements are not high, most enterprises rely on this product to start, some enterprises rely on low-level products to accumulate funds and experience, close to medium and high-end products, some enterprises Stagnant, small rich can.3. The industry has insufficient scientific and technological strength. The industry is not big. Although there are more than 130 professional and research institutes in universities and colleges, it should be said that the strength is not weak. However, the current situation is that the institute is busy creating income-saving bowls, some are in the same factory, only busy in production and sales, some want to do research and no funds, some have technology but can not find intermediate experimental users, production companies do not I am willing to pay for the risks, so that the production, learning, and research are out of touch, and the technical power that is not strong has not played its due role. Relatively speaking, the combination of production, study and research in Guangdong Province is at the forefront. Guangdong Kenwei Intellectualized Machinery Co.,Ltd. has always had the tradition of cooperation with scientific research institutions. In 2011, the company obtained Guangdong with a combination of “multiple materials and mixed materials”. The “Production, Learning, and Research” science and technology project combination award issued by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the province has a great influence in the field of combination scales. Through the combination of production, study and research of “Mixing multiple materials”, Kenwei has a high market share in the field of compounding.
