The development of the convenience food machinery industry should take a longer-term perspective and incorporate factors such as environmental protection into its new research and development process. In the research and development of convenience food machinery, the standards of food enterprises for various convenience food machinery should be mastered to produce mechanical equipment that meets the requirements of the convenience food industry.
In order to promote the healthy development of the convenience food industry, the "Twelfth Five-Year" plan for the food industry formulated by relevant government departments clearly mentions that the industry will develop in the direction of multiple varieties, nutrition, and high quality. In this regard, at the 13th China Convenience Food Conference and Exhibition in 2013, hosted by the China Institute of Food Science and Technology, experts suggested that technological innovation can be used to explore the direction of nutrition and high quality for the industry.
As a footnote to this suggestion, at this conference, Baixiang and Zhejiang Gongshang University, Master Kong and Tianjin University of Science and Technology, and Uni-President and the China Institute of Food Fermentation signed strategic cooperation agreements, and will establish research institutions such as the China Bone Soup Research Institute, to carry out full-industry chain cooperation in aspects such as product technology, product safety, and product research and development. In this regard, Yao Zhongliang, chairman of Baixiang Food Co., Ltd., said: "In fact, food technology is even more complex than electronic technology, and we can rely on advanced scientific research technology to improve food and convey the benefits of convenience food to consumers. This is also the initial intention of Baixiang's choice to jointly establish the Bone Soup Research Institute with Zhejiang Gongshang University."
For the above-mentioned model of industry-university-research cooperation to promote industrial development, Rao Pingfan, chairman of the International Food Alliance, Meng Suhe, chairman of the China Institute of Food Science and Technology, and others have all given their affirmation: This is a signal of the convenience noodle industry taking positive action and seeking industrial transformation through technological means. This is a realistic step for the industry to break the "junk food" spell and return to the path of growth.
In 2013, China's convenience food industry also faced many variables, and the survival and development of the industry still faced many difficulties, with the sword of food safety hanging high above its head. Chinese convenience food is gradually being recognized by the market, the media, and consumers, and enterprises are reflecting on their successes and failures, seeking their own correct and stable development path. Statistics show that in 2012, China's convenience food industry had already formed an output value of over 200 billion yuan, with a growth rate of 27.7%, exceeding the average growth rate of the food industry. With the integration and adjustment of the convenience food industry, the competitiveness of convenience food machinery has also become increasingly strong, gradually evolving from price competition to research and development competition in the past. Improving independent innovation capabilities will become an important support for improving the overall quality of convenience food machinery.
Currently, China's convenience food machinery industry is becoming increasingly large-scale, which is determined by the requirements for high production efficiency.
The mechanical equipment, including labeling machines, developed to improve production efficiency is not only used in the food industry, but also products involving labeling in other industries are topics worthy of attention. The development of the machinery industry should take a longer-term perspective. The demand for machinery such as labeling machines in various industries is also immeasurable. The problem of insufficient employees caused by the aging population can be solved through automated machinery. Labeling machine manufacturers should continuously research and introduce more and better technologies to make labeling machines more widely used, including solving the problem of products in the food industry that cannot be automatically labeled.Convenience food machinery will trend towards intelligence in the future.
In recent years, with the integration and adjustment of the convenience food industry, the competitiveness of convenience food machinery has also become increasingly strong, gradually evolving from price competition to research and development competition. Improving independent innovation capabilities will become an important support for improving the overall quality of convenience food machinery. Currently, China's convenience food machinery industry is becoming increasingly large-scale, which is determined by the requirements for high production efficiency. The multi-cavity technology developed to improve production efficiency is being applied more and more widely. Obviously, the same injection molding process can produce multiple products at the same time, and the production efficiency is naturally doubled. Another reason is that the components are also becoming increasingly large-scale, which directly leads to the need for large-scale molds.
The large-scale and digitalization of convenience food machinery has always been an important development trend. The application of stamping forming technology for high-strength plates and variable-thickness laser-welded plates has become increasingly common. The application of high-strength steel plate hot stamping forming and large aluminum alloy plate stamping forming technology in automobile production is also increasing. Due to the increasingly high operating speed of high-speed presses, the integrated circuit pin spacing is becoming increasingly dense, and the connector precision is becoming increasingly high and the volume is becoming smaller, so ultra-precision machining is further developing.
Energy saving and environmental protection become important development directions. With the changes of the times, the market is also changing. The inability to quickly adapt to the new market environment is a major problem for the convenience food machinery industry. Although the convenience food machinery industry has developed rapidly in recent years, the traditional market has been gradually replaced by the new network market. If enterprises cannot adapt quickly, convenience food machinery enterprises will face major challenges.
Therefore, only by allowing the convenience food machinery industry to continuously adapt to market changes and develop healthily can this be an important direction for the healthy development of convenience food machinery. Whether it is an enterprise or an individual's development, a specific development plan should be made in the near future, so as to continuously modify the development route, so as to maximize the reduction of the error rate. From a long-term perspective, green development is the future development path of the convenience food machinery industry. This is beneficial to the industry itself. The convenience food machinery industry has a high degree of dependence, and learning how to save resources is an important turning point for enterprises in the process of transformation.
