Food processing and packaging machinery manufacturing industry is the provision of technical equipment for the food industry an important industry, and gradually developed into China's national economy in recent years, the fastest growing, most dynamic pillar industries. However, late start, not enough technical resources to focus on other reasons, China's food processing and packaging machinery manufacturing technology innovation is very weak. National living standard of the food industry to promote the role of clear, food machinery industry is generally optimistic about market prospects, but the domestic food machinery factory operators, this market in the end a piece of cake or a delicious hot potato it? China Food and Packaging Machinery Industry Association executive vice president of what the south in an interview, said: "At present, many domestic food processing and packaging machinery manufacturing enterprises in the development of passive, many technical improvements are also helplessness give. "
Ho, chairman pointed out that from the perspective of automation technology, China's food machinery industry and the gap is more evident in developed countries. In recent years, local enterprises to enhance competitiveness in this area, but improvements in technology also changes with the market acceptance and gradually expanded. Abroad of more mature technologies can be more easily adopted by domestic firms, but it also restricted the local food machinery industry development initiative. So, change the development model in need of advanced technology in the reference, while local changes in business philosophy.
Gradually expanding the scope of sensing technology
At present, food processing and packaging process of detection is not limited to detection of impurities in the production line, with the food inspection by the emphasis has gradually increased, detection technology applications to further expand. ?? Ho south
In the food processing and packaging machinery industry, many applications the sensor in the food and beverage storage tank monitoring, filling and packaging, mixing and processing, cooling and heating, cleaning, packaging and other procedures must be used in sensors. In recent years, sensor technology have appeared many new highlights gaps in the market has become a battleground of many automation vendors.
With the increasing importance of food safety issues, national emphasis on food security has gradually increased, which made the food more refined detection technology requirements. Ho, chairman, said: "We used food machinery factory less concern for food detection, performance improvements relative to the machine, plenty of room for food testing technology." Sensing technology is undoubtedly promoting food detection an important factor in temperature, physical location of the collection, the sensor technology and have higher requirements. It is understood that a new integrated circuit detector has been used in food processing plants abroad, it can detect a deterioration of food or a beverage of time. This food shelf life testing device consists of sensors and scanners form, the inspector simply targeting food scanner radio waves, scanner radio waves signal will produce vibration of food, music issued at the same time wave, and then transfer to sensor. The database through the use of standard calibration parameters, and instantly detect food spoilage can be determined by the time the test results are quite accurate.
Ho, chairman pointed out that the process of food processing and packaging testing technology is not limited to detection of impurities in the production line, with the food inspection by the gradually increasing importance attached to the detection technology in the field further. In the machine vision products, color machine vision products in food testing application of the more prominent, we can determine the color of food quality and grade of maturity and other parameters. In addition, in recent years, wireless sensor network applications with the increasing popularity of foreign large-scale food processing plant, has applied to the food safety of food information collection system. Wireless sensor networks, food processing plants to allow consumers to fully understand the food production, transport, storage and other process related information, so intuitive and transparent information greatly eliminate their concerns about food safety. At the same time, it also help regulators to detect problems and well documented, to stop the food safety problems.
