China's food industry is developing rapidly. The development rate during the "10th Five-Year Plan" reached 18%-21%. The issue of food safety concerns the whole country. During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, we will pay more attention to improving the level of science and technology and equipment in the field of food safety, developing technologies and equipment for rapidly and accurately identifying hazard factors in food, and further developing preventive technologies and storage technologies such as resistance to pathogenic microorganisms and control of pathogens. equipment.

The retort pot machinery has been formed in the industry for more than 20 years and is still a new industry compared to the food industry. This is the period in which the world's technology has developed fastest over the past 20 years. New technologies are continuously applied in the industry. The weak foundation of the domestic industry and the lack of technical and scientific research forces have lags behind in its development and have dragged the food and retort pot industry to a certain extent. Although overall development is faster, the food and sterilizer industry has developed faster. In 2005, the total output value of the food and retort pot machinery industry was approximately RMB 62.0 billion, and the domestic market demand reached RMB 85 billion. It is estimated that by 2010, the total industrial output value of the domestic industry could reach RMB 130 billion (current price), and the market demand may reach 2000. 100 million yuan. The space of this market will attract foreign equipment to fill. The goal of the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” is to narrow this space, catch up with the world advanced level for the food industry, move forward from the “large sterilizer country” to the “powerful sterilizer country,” and provide advanced technology and equipment to allow imported equipment to be used in the domestic market. It only plays a role in supplementing the shortages. This requires the annual growth rate of domestic food and retort pot machinery to exceed 18%, and the output rate of new products will reach 25%.

The development of sterilization pots and food machinery in the world is based on the requirements of large customers. The requirements for driving the development of related machinery are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

One: The higher the production efficiency, the better. This can reduce the cost of the product and meet the delivery date. The requirements for high-speed retort pot must be related to the previous process, and there is no need for handling steps, including control connection. The entire production line should be arranged in reverse order according to production and sterilizing pot processes, and the sequence should be shut down. Such as the cold filling production line, from automatic plastic raw materials to beverage filling and large retort pots, all automatically in the closed workshop.

Two: It is adaptable to product changes. The retort pot machinery needs to have high flexibility and flexibility, and the production line allows the sterilization pot size to vary within a certain size range. Because the life cycle of the product is much shorter than the service life of the equipment, changing the product and the sterilizer will not replace the expensive sterilization pot production line.

Three: Quick troubleshooting of common equipment failures. The solution is entered into the computer in advance. When a common fault occurs in the equipment, it can be self-diagnosed. It can also perform remote diagnosis and troubleshooting.

Four: It is required to have automatic recognition function. On the one hand, it can realize the automatic recognition of the thickness, hardness, rebound force, etc. of the sterilizing pan, and feedback to the robot through the computer to adjust the movement range to ensure no rebound; on the other hand, to allow various products, such as chocolates of various shapes or Snacks, etc., are packed in the same box and their arrangement is regular. The product delivered by the production line is disorderly, and can be scanned by the probe to determine the position of different shapes of the material, and then fed back to different manipulators. It will accurately and accurately put the articles in the tray according to the accurate position and direction. It is quick and accurate. Manually operated vision and finger fatigue.
