The development of packaging machinery is constrained by three major problems

The problems in the national packaging machinery manufacturing industry are: First, the lack of macro overall planning; Second, there is a lack of capital investment, and the investment in research and development accounts for less than 1% of the average sales; Third, there is a lack of professional and technical personnel.

Compared with developed countries, the product and technology gap of China's packaging machinery industry is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

From the perspective of product structure, there are only more than 1300 kinds of packaging machinery in China, such as beverage packaging machines, robot boxing machines and other models, which have a small number of supporting products, lack of high-precision and large-scale chemical products, and can not meet market demand: product quality gap is manifested in low product performance, poor stability and reliability, unsightly appearance, rough surface treatment, poor quality of many components, short life, low reliability, affecting the quality of the overall product; From the perspective of enterprise status, the domestic packaging machinery industry lacks leading enterprises, and there are not many enterprises with large production scale and high product grade; From the perspective of product development, China is still basically in the stage of testing and imitation, and its self-development ability is weak.

The technical level of China's packaging machinery is 20 years behind the overall level of branching technology in advanced countries, and it is at a disadvantage in the competition in product development, performance, quality, reliability, service and other aspects.

In terms of product structure, we should take the market as the guide, change the current situation of low-tech content and low-level competition, eliminate a number of low-efficiency and high-consumption, low-grade, low-value-added, labor-intensive products, and strive to develop large-scale complete sets of equipment and high-tech products with high efficiency and low consumption, and production and marketing. In terms of packaging function, industrial and agricultural products should tend to be refined and diversified, and packaging machinery products should develop in the direction of product multi-function and single high-speed polarization; For example, for the packaging of mineral water, beverages, dairy products, etc., it is necessary to consider special-shaped bottles, flat bottles, etc., and such products require a series of product packaging on a packaging machine.

In short, the level of the domestic packaging machinery industry is still in the low paper stage, and some high-content packaging equipment still relied on foreign imports to meet domestic demand. This phenomenon of excessive dependence has seriously restricted the sustainable and stable development of China's packaging industry, and has also put some uncompetitive packaging machinery enterprises in an endangered situation. Therefore, experts pointed out that the low-level development of packaging machinery will affect the rapid development of the entire packaging industry, so efforts must be made to change its backward situation.
