Food packaging machinery to take the road of energy saving and environmental protection

According to the latest analysis report released by the China Environmental Protection Machinery Industry Association, the government will implement a series of policies to support the development of the environmental protection industry. The strategic opportunity for the energy-saving and environmentally friendly food and packaging machinery industry will be highlighted. It is expected that the industry-wide growth rate will exceed 25%.

The industrial development of food and packaging machinery is always accompanied by a cycle of input, output, and waste. In the pursuit of sustainable development, this waste is minimized or balanced. The current sustainable development of food and packaging machinery is to combine technological development, product development and environmental protection to create an environment-friendly and resource-efficient food industry. Through food and packaging machinery, a reasonable solution to waste emissions and wastewater treatment in food processing, promote clean production and comprehensive utilization of the food industry, energy conservation and emission reduction, reduce costs, reduce environmental pollution, and take the road of sustainable development.

The Twelfth Five-Year Plan requires vigorously developing energy-saving and emission-reducing technologies and equipment for food processing and packaging, and eliminating food and packaging machinery with high energy consumption and serious pollution. Encourage waste heat utilization and high-power motor energy conservation, encourage comprehensive utilization of food processing waste and industrial emission reduction, and actively develop food and packaging machinery with low cost, good energy-saving effect, and reduced emissions. It is estimated that by 2015, the energy consumption of China's food processing units will be reduced by 15%, and the water consumption per unit of industrial added value will be reduced by 30%. This is in line with the national requirements for energy saving and emission reduction. The discharge of major pollutants complies with relevant national standards.

In the food industry industry chain, some sectors of food and packaging machinery have high energy consumption and large amounts of waste, such as high-power motors, drying machinery, sterilization machinery, waste water treatment equipment, etc., which have high production costs and require energy conservation and emission reduction technologies. Equipment development. Analyze the energy consumption, emission status, technical level, and major problems, and study key energy consumption and emission indicators, and develop high-performance, low-consumption energy-saving emission reduction equipment. Research and development targets include container cleaning equipment, drying machinery, sterilization machinery, wastewater treatment equipment, dust treatment equipment, solid waste disposal and comprehensive utilization of technical equipment.

Because the traditional design of food and packaging machinery seldom considers the environmental attributes and the relationship with food safety, its industrial chain generally only considers the design, manufacture, and use links. Green design is based on system engineering and green concepts. It not only considers the design, manufacture and use of food and packaging machinery, but also considers scrapping and disposal. Therefore, it is necessary to formulate green design standards for food and packaging machinery, achieve reasonable matching of food and packaging machinery, effectively use resources, protect the environment, and improve the quality and safety of processed foods.

Now that people’s environmental awareness has been strengthened, green food will become the mainstream, and the pace of green food and packaging machinery will be overwhelming. In foreign countries, continuous technology research and development will improve the green performance of food and packaging machinery. It can be seen that the future of domestic food Energy-saving environmental protection and packaging machinery will be the inevitable development of science and technology.
