One of the Highlights China's Beverage Machinery Industry Aimed at Personalization Cai Yu, general manager of China National Light Industry Machinery Corporation beer and beverage machinery company, pointed out that China's beverage machinery industry already has certain strength to participate in fierce competition in foreign markets. The advanced processing centers, CNC plasma cutting machines, CNC laser cutting machines, CNC bending machines, and high-precision detection instruments purchased by key enterprises have a large number of advanced equipment, research and development and application of key technologies and practical technologies, and continuous improvements. The research and development and application of factory computer integrated manufacturing systems, CAD, CAPP, and CAM systems all actively promoted the technological transformation of enterprises. After years of efforts, the Chinese beverage machinery industry has been able to provide the market with more comprehensive beverage production equipment.
The Chinese beverage machinery industry started from the beginning of the industry and followed several strong foreign competitors. Today, the international competition in the domestic market is even more intense. Krones of Germany, KHS, Sasibu of Italy, Bogoma and other companies have won the favor of many domestic big-name beverage companies with their advanced technology, good service, high-quality products and serialized varieties. These pose tremendous pressure on Chinese beverage machinery manufacturers. There are still many needs for Chinese beverage machinery manufacturers to do. If they want to develop in the competition, they must constantly develop new products and new technologies, and they must constantly improve product quality and service quality. Take self-development and self-design research as the foundation of enterprise development.
For the whole industry, the development of China's beverage machinery industry needs to be improved. Due to the variety of raw materials and varieties of beverages produced, raw material composition varies greatly, and the processing technology varies, making the beverage machinery have many product varieties and strong specificity. Looking at the beverage machinery market in China, Cai believes that the problems still need to be solved in China's beverage machinery industry are: First, emphasis on the beverage filling equipment, only pay attention to the provision of large-scale equipment, do not pay attention to the development of small equipment; Second, the quality of China's beverage machinery products And the quality of service needs to be further improved; Third, lack of market competition rules, disorderly competition phenomenon.
The development direction of China's beverage machinery industry should try to meet the diversified market demands of different types and levels, and provide users with technical equipment that can improve taste and enrich the connotation. It is the goal of today's beverage machinery industry enterprises. The goal of "individual design" of products proposed by Nanjing Light Industry Machinery Factory represents the development direction of enterprises in the beverage machinery industry.
Intensify the technological renewal to make the products more advanced, more practical, and more in line with health requirements and environmental protection requirements. Taking the PET bottled beverage filling production line as an example, the existing low-temperature filling can be developed to normal temperature filling, which can greatly save energy. As far as filling equipment is concerned, the technical characteristics of current domestic beverage production lines are low-temperature filling, filling temperatures of 0°C to 4°C, sugar to water ratios of 1:3 to 1:6, and CO2 gas-bearing multiples of up to 4 times or more. The advantage is that the CO2 gas-bearing multiple is accurate and the beverage temperature is low, which is particularly beneficial for the subsequent filling process. However, in recent years, the normal temperature filling production line has been gradually introduced abroad, the filling temperature is 15 °C, and other parameters are the same as the low temperature filling parameters. Normal temperature filling imposes higher requirements on mixers, especially filling machines. Filling process is best to achieve fast, slow filling, the biggest advantage of ambient temperature filling is energy saving. For the mixer, it is not necessary to cool the water at 25°C to about 0°C, and it is not necessary for the bottle warmer to heat the beverage from about 8°C to 40°C, and its energy-saving effect is very significant.
Packing diversity. In the packaging of beverages and beverages and other products, diversified packaging is a requirement for the development of market economy for commodities. Therefore, diversification of commodity packaging is the development task of the industry's products. At the same time, the green packaging program should be fully reflected in accordance with the sustainable development strategy. For example, a variety of finished product packaging labeler, diversified product packaging machine. Production of various types of boxing equipment such as plastic boxes, cartons, heat shrinkable films, etc., are available to users.
Widely used robotics, electromechanical integration technology, intelligent computer control technology. In developed countries, these are very mature technologies that can make traditional mechanical equipment simple and reliable. In the packaging of beverages and beverages and other products, diversified packaging is a requirement for the development of the market economy. In the process of realizing its complex packaging functions, it is almost impossible to manufacture and control it out of electromechanical integration. Specifically, it is to go on the line of packaging materials - demolition, depalletizing and unstacking machines, off-the-shelf off-line - packing (carton and plastic box) machines and palletizing machines, labeling machines for diversified finished packaging, online Inspection and control, automatic detection of packaging materials and finished products, inspection and display of working condition parameters, automatic control, diversification of finished product packaging, automatic control and monitoring of conveying systems, automatic control of saccharification and fermentation, etc. apply advanced technologies. Promote the use of CAD (Computer Aided Design), CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing), FMS flexible processing systems, computerized MIS systems under the management of solid warehouses and logistics systems, marketing services system based on information integration, premise of energy conservation and environmental protection Advanced technologies such as research and development of new packaging materials, automated production line monitoring, management, and fault diagnosis systems have enabled our country's beverage machinery manufacturing industry to reach a higher level.
Highlights of the second tea beverage to promote hot filling PET bottle development PET (polyester) beverage bottle development in China has only 10 years, while the history of hot filling PET beverage bottle in China is even shorter, only about 4 years time However, the momentum of development has surpassed that of most other packaging containers. This rapid momentum is mainly due to the rapid development of tea beverages. As we all know, tea beverages, fruit juice beverages, etc. are the hot spots for beverage development. In China, the output of tea beverages exceeded 1,500,000 tons in 2000. Most of the packaging containers use PET hot-filling bottles, and the proportion is increasing.
Lu Huancheng, deputy general manager of Zhuhai Zhongfu Industry Group Co., Ltd., explained that the principle of production of PET hot-filled bottles is: PET beverage bottles (usually injection-molded into preforms) → heated preforms are stretched in the machine direction → stretched horizontally → blown bottles forming. The final molding in this production process uses mechanical cold set. Therefore, once the PET bottle is used in the temperature of PET glass transition temperature (78°C), the molecular chain will relax and the bottle will have a severe shrinkage. Bottles are only suitable for cold filling drinks.
Lu believes that hot-fill bottles are always at a relatively high temperature (around 140°C) during the above-mentioned process of drawing and setting. PET molecular chains are set at a high temperature in a relaxed state. Finally, the bottle body has a lot of neat and dense. The crystallinity, crystallinity up to 30% to 45%, so that the bottle has a higher heat resistance, and has become a practical hot filling bottle.
Blow once. That is, during the bottle from the preform to the molding process, only one blow molding process is performed by heating the mold to 100 to 180°C. When the preform is stretched and blown into the shape of a bottle mold, the heat setting crystallization process will continue for several seconds to more than 10 seconds. This method is characterized by: the equipment is relatively simple, the cost is low, and after replacing the parts, The production of ordinary PET bottles; small footprint; because the bottle will be directly heated on the mold, so the heat energy consumption is smaller. Disadvantages are that the temperature of the heating treatment is lower than that of the secondary blowing method, the degree of crystallization is slightly lower, the heat resistance is also slightly inferior, and the heat-resistant temperature is 85° C. to 90° C.; the bottle is subjected to processes such as heat treatment and cooling, and the production is increased. Cycle time. The production equipment of the primary blowing method is currently the equipment of the French Sidel company in France and Xipa company in Italy.
Secondary blowing method. The secondary blowing method is to first blow the preform to a larger volume (about twice the capacity of the bottle), then heat it to about 200°C, and then let it shrink, blow again into the final bottle shape, and blow it twice. The characteristics are as follows: The advantage is that due to the higher temperature of the heating treatment, the ratio of crystallization correspondingly increases, and the heat resistance can reach 90° C. to 95° C.; since the heating process can be independently performed, the higher production can be achieved. effectiveness. The disadvantage is that the machine is bulky and complex, the price is high, the area is large, and the energy consumption is high. The secondary blowing equipment is currently mainly supplied by Japan's Nissei ASB Machinery Co., Ltd.
Lu Zong pointed out that in the past for fruit and vegetable beverages and tea drinks, in order to achieve a longer storage time, first, add appropriate amounts of preservatives, but in the era of advocacy of green food, it is obviously more and more outdated; second is the use of Glass and metal containers are used to hold these beverages and then sterilized using a high-temperature cooking process to achieve a longer shelf life. However, due to the bottle-shaped design, safety, transportation, and other issues of the glass containers, the shape design, opaqueness, and other issues of the metal containers have greatly limited their popularization. The emergence of PET hot-fill bottles and corresponding hot-filling technologies has solved these problems. Therefore, PET hot-fill bottles have been rapidly applied.
The third highlight is the revolution in aseptic filling: Instant filling of tea, juices, liqueurs, dairy products, sauces, vegetables, seasonings, and other products that are sensitive to microorganisms is a challenge for traditional bottled technology because of possible microorganisms It can lead to the growth of bacteria and mold, which can cause damage to the color and taste of the product. The traditional method to solve this problem is to use hot filling, but the hot filling technology has many disadvantages, such as high cost of the container, loss of flavor caused by exposure of the product to high temperature for a long time, and high energy consumption.
In recent years, cold aseptic filling has been considered as a viable alternative to hot filling. This method uses standard lightweight bottles rather than heavy thermoforming containers. Unlike hot filling, no The use of hot fillings is required to ensure the hygiene of the containers, but it is ensured by controlling the sanitary conditions of the filling environment. However, although these aseptic measures can maintain the nutrition of beverages or foods, they still need to sterilize the containers themselves, so they still require high investment and operating costs. Typical aseptic filling lines require washing, connecting channels, and Bacterial water rinsing machines, sterile water generators, and equipment for removing cleaning agents and sterilizing agents also require a relatively expensive clean room to contain these devices, which may cause inconvenience to the operator.
The most innovative PET bottle filling technology is the direct integration of SIPAç‰'s resin integrated bottle manufacturing system and aseptic filling and capping system in Italy. Jia Ziyou, the Chinese market and sales manager of the company's Beijing representative office, said that this integrated device (ASIS for short) has been jointly developed by SIPA and Procomac. The Del Monte factory in Italy is one of the first factories to install this equipment.
The ASIS Aseptic Filling Integration concept is based on the direct connection of a specially designed SIPA ECS integrated bottle manufacturing system with Promomac's aseptic filling equipment. Simplicity is the main feature of this concept. PET bottles are in aseptic conditions. After being produced from the ECS integrated equipment, it is immediately sent to the aseptic filling equipment in the control room. ASIS system work is divided into three basic steps: First, the production of containers on precision integrated equipment, directly with the production of resin particles. Second, the blown containers will be sent to the filling equipment in a sterile environment. Third, aseptic filling.
Jia Jia believes that aseptic filling and filling equipment cold filling products completely eliminate the bottle sterilization process, thus shortening the cold filling production line and reducing costs. In traditional factories, the production of containers is done outside the clean area. Therefore, the containers must be cleaned and sterilized before filling. This requires the installation and maintenance of sterilizers, sterile water generators and washing machines. The cost is very high. Big. A large amount of sterilant will also be used. The effectiveness of sterilization depends on the initial level of contamination of the container, and the initial level of contamination of the container will change with changes in storage conditions.
The ASIS system reduces the space occupied by the equipment, consumes energy, and eliminates the use of sterilizing agents, thus greatly reducing waste generation. The production of the system from the bottle to the final gland is performed in a controlled environment rather than an expensive sterile room, thus reducing costs and increasing operator comfort.
According to Gabriele Sommi, technical director of Del Monte in Italy, we just want to produce a PET bottle beverage in a sterile environment while minimizing the consumption of thermal energy to maintain the best product quality. Generally speaking, aseptic filling is better than hot filling, because aseptic filling greatly reduces the time of the product at high temperature, so as to better maintain the nutrition and taste of the product. Prior to using this aseptic filling device, DelMonte purchased thermoformed containers for hot filling. After using ASIS, you only need to buy resin pellets.
