2) To meet the needs of product updates, packaging machinery should have higher flexibility and flexibility.
3) There are few equipment failures, and there is a failure to perform remote diagnostic services.
4) Less pollution to the environment, including noise, dust, and waste.
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 adopted the following measures to meet the above requirements:
1. Improve the automation of the process. Extensive use of microcomputer design and mechanical and electrical integration control to improve the degree of automation of packaging machinery.
2, improve the high resolution of the material and thickness. In the packaging process, because the thickness of the packaging material and the change of the material are not easily discernible to the human eye, computer-controlled cameras and detectors are often used to design the packaging machine to distinguish the thickness of the packaging material from the material. Cameras have now been developed to self-check and discern images of the camera and display it on the screen. The speed of the machine is constant during processing, and the speed can be changed according to the change of the material so as to control the operation in the optimum state, complete the packaging process in the shortest time, and realize automatic cleaning, automatic disinfection and automatic cleaning.
3, increase productivity, reduce process costs and maximize production requirements. German packaging machinery, especially beverages, beer filling machines and food packaging machines, are characterized by high speed, complete sets, high degree of automation and good reliability. Increasing the speed of the machine is a complex issue. The faster the speed, the lower the production cost of a single piece. . In addition to increasing the speed, but also: 1) using continuous work or multi-head work. There are batch-type and continuous-type working methods for packaging machines. They should strive to design continuous working methods, which will increase productivity and 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 conduct remote diagnosis through the Internet to meet customer needs as much as possible. The trend is to further intelligentize the packaging machinery, that is, to find faults on its own and to solve the faults on its own, so as to reduce the scrap rate and failure rate, so that the normal productivity can be improved.
4, the integration of machinery. Many products are packaged at the end of production, which also helps improve product productivity. The German chocolate production equipment and packaging equipment are controlled by a system. The key to the integration is to solve the problem of productivity matching. Packaging machinery is often the bottleneck of production. Therefore, it is necessary to provide equipment with different productivities and productivity.
Forecast of Development Trend of Packaging Machinery Equipment Market in Germany
1) High productivity in order to meet the requirements of delivery time and the need to reduce the cost of process circulation. At the same time, for some products, it also requires the convergence of packaging machinery and production machinery.
