The advantages of flexible packaging are prominent, and the stand-up pouch packaging equipment has attracted attention
In the food sector, bottles and cans have always been the main forms of packaging for fluids and semi-fluids. In the past two years, consumers have paid more and more attention to the portability of packaging, and the packaging of fluid food has gradually developed towards flexibility, and stand-up pouches have become a more popular form of packaging. With the expansion of market demand, the market potential of stand-up pouches is considerable, which will also drive the development of stand-up pouch filling and capping packaging machines.
In the field of food packaging, stand-up pouch packaging is a relatively new form of packaging. Compared with glass bottles and aluminum cans, stand-up pouches have the advantages of soft material, easy portability and convenience while maintaining standing. In addition, the stand-up pouch laminated with PET, foil, PET or PE material structure also has a higher cost advantage.
Nowadays, the application range of stand-up pouch packaging in the food field is getting larger and larger, and stand-up pouches can be seen in industries such as fruit juice, beverages, drinking water, jelly, and condiments. According to a person from a packaging consulting company, in recent years, more than billions of stand-up pouches have entered the food packaging market, and the growth rate has remained at around 7%. It is foreseeable that, driven by market demand and cost advantages, the market size of stand-up pouch packaging will continue to grow in the next few years.
At the same time, the manufacturing industry of stand-up pouch filling and capping packaging machines suitable for stand-up pouch packaging will also usher in favorable market conditions. Food stand-up pouches on the market generally have a suction nozzle, which is convenient for users to pour or suck, and the design of the cover suction nozzle can also enable the package to be repeatedly closed and opened, making storage more convenient. In order to meet the requirements of use, the self-supporting bag filling and capping packaging equipment usually has the functions of automatic bag transportation, vacuuming, automatic positioning and filling, automatic capping, capping, capping, and automatic bag return.
With the development of automation technology, most of the self-supporting bag filling and capping packaging equipment adopts the combination of pneumatic mechanical transmission and electric control, which realizes automatic control and has high production efficiency. The automatic capping device of some equipment also has an automatic slipping function, which makes the tightness of the capping easier to control. As a market segment of the packaging equipment industry, the self-supporting pouch filling and capping packaging machine will also affect the development of the overall packaging equipment market.
In order to promote the standardization and sustainable development of the self-supporting pouch filling and capping packaging equipment industry, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology approved and issued the machinery industry standard of “Self-supporting pouch filling and capping packaging machine” a few years ago. The standard clarifies the definition, model, basic parameters, etc. of the stand-up pouch filling and capping packaging machine, and puts forward requirements for the convenience of inspection methods, packaging, and transportation of the equipment. However, in addition to the constraints of industry standards, equipment manufacturers should also speed up the research and development and implementation of new technologies to enhance the market competitiveness of equipment.
Enterprises can be equipped with air purification systems, lid cleaning systems, packaging cleaning systems, etc. on the equipment, so that the equipment can be packaged in a sterile environment, so that the equipment has a high and stable filling speed, and also has aseptic filling functions. Production enterprises bring high-quality production. In addition, allowing the equipment to be connected to the CIP cleaning system is also one of the development trends of stand-up pouch filling and capping packaging machines, which can bring better cleaning effects to the equipment, improve cleaning speed, and further optimize production quality.
Nowadays, stand-up pouch packaging is constantly replacing some glass bottles and cans packaging with its huge advantages, and the industry has a lot of room for growth. The stand-up pouch filling and capping packaging machine is the technical support for stand-up pouch packaging, and its industry is also developing continuously. With the improvement of industry standards and the increase in market demand, the “walls” of market competition are increasingly stacked. Enterprises in the industry also need to improve their research and development capabilities, make up for the shortcomings of equipment, and manufacture high-precision and high-efficiency packaging equipment to achieve market share expansion.
