At present, the food packaging machinery used in China is a mechanized electronic device that integrates light, electricity, machinery, magnetism, and gas. In the future design, we should pay attention to improving the automation level of packaging machinery and the research and development of food packaging machinery. Combining computer technologies to achieve mechatronic control. With the advancement of global economic integration, the development of food packaging machinery in China is facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges. In the fierce market competition situation, technological innovation has become the biggest driving force for development.

Automation technology can effectively improve the domestic and international competitiveness of food packaging machinery, and it is of great significance to the development of food packaging in China. It is the only way for the development of food packaging machinery in China.

The automation technology used in food packaging machinery mainly includes robot technology, motion control, transmission control, control system, machine bus technology, human-machine interface and sensors. For example: in the food packaging, stacking, loading and unloading and stacking process application of different types of industrial robots; in the process of food processing and packaging, monitoring of food and beverage storage tanks, packaging, filling, heating, cooling, mixing, processing, etc. Sensors can be applied. Machine bus technology is widely used in large-scale food processing plants in China. It can realize the seamless link of unmanned operation, detection and transmission of the production line. Traditional food packaging machinery uses many mechanical controls, such as cam distribution shafts, and subsequently produces pneumatic control and photoelectric control.

In general, microcomputer technology will be gradually introduced into the field of food packaging machinery to improve the application level of electromechanical integration and develop intelligent packaging. The development direction of food packaging machinery is: According to the technological requirements of food packaging, combined with automatic packaging system, strengthen the control and detection of the production process, diagnosis of failure, troubleshooting, etc., in order to achieve high quality, high efficiency, low consumption, safe production. However, with the continuous improvement of food processing technology, there are more and more requirements for packaging parameters, and the original control standards can no longer meet the development needs, which puts new requirements on the application technology. Mechatronics mainly uses the system view as the core, and uses the entire process of control principle to realize the organic combination of machinery, electronics, information, and detection, and achieve the overall optimal configuration.

In the food packaging machinery industry, there are many occasions where sensors are used. In addition to basic functions, new breakthroughs have been made in the application of current sensor technologies.

At the same time, the market gap has become a must for the development of automation. As food safety issues have become increasingly prominent, China has paid more and more attention to food safety, and has put forward refined requirements for food inspection technology. In the past, China's food machinery manufacturers neglected the application of food testing technology. Compared with the improvement of the whole machine performance, food testing technology will have more room for development. Sensor technology plays an important role in food detection technology, including the collection of food temperature, location and so on.

By comparing the parameters of the standard database, the date of deterioration of the food can be detected within a short time, and the detection result is very accurate. Detection technology in food packaging machinery is no longer limited to the application of the production line. With the increasing importance of food testing in China, the application of detection technology will be further expanded. It is understood that the current integrated circuit detector has been widely used in foreign food processing plants, this technology can detect the deterioration of food time. Food quality detection and configuration is mainly composed of scanners and sensors. As long as the inspection personnel aim the scanner at the food to emit radio wave signals, it will cause the food to vibrate and form a music wave and send it to the sensor.


In machine vision products, color machine vision products have been applied in food inspection, and the maturity and quality grades are mainly determined by the color of the food. In addition, the application of wireless sensor networks has also been popularized rapidly. Large-scale food processing plants in foreign countries have applied this technology to systems for collecting food information and ensuring food safety. Through the wireless sensor's network function, consumers can better understand the entire process of food processing, food storage, and food transportation in food processing plants, making food processing more intuitive and transparent, which can effectively eliminate consumer concerns about food safety issues. . At the same time, in the event of problems, wireless sensor technology also facilitates the timely detection of problems by the regulatory authorities, and is well documented to curb food safety issues from the source.

Motion control system is the key to the development of China's food packaging machinery, and the technology is becoming more mature. The motion control technology mainly realizes the precise control of the position in the food packaging machinery, and strictly requires the synchronization of the speed, and is applied to the procedures of food transportation, loading and unloading, palletizing, depalletizing, and marking. Through the application of motion control technology, it can effectively divide high, medium and low-grade packaging machinery, which plays a crucial role in the upgrading of China's food packaging machinery. The mechanical assembly line of food packaging has continuity, so it puts forward higher requirements on its speed, accuracy, dynamics and torque and other indicators, which exactly matches the characteristics of the product.

Therefore, the bus-type motion controller proposed in the current automation technology has a very broad prospect in the food packaging industry. With high-speed bus communication, high-speed tracking, conversion of multiple position control modes, and exchange of multiple communication port data information can be achieved. In addition, China's food packaging machinery is facing a transition from labor-intensive to knowledge-intensive. Managers of all companies should also increase their attention to motion control technology to reduce production costs and improve food packaging quality.
