In recent years, the beverage machinery industry has developed rapidly. The varieties of carbonated drinks, fruit juice drinks, vegetable juice drinks, milk drinks, bottled drinking water, tea drinks, etc. have been constantly enriched. The red output has also led to a bull market in the demand for equipment market.

Foreign filling and sealing equipment is developing in the direction of high-speed, multi-purpose and high-precision. At present, some filling production lines can function in different requirements and environments, such as glass bottles and plastic containers (polyester bottles), carbonated drinks and non-carbonated drinks, hot filling and cold filling.

At present, the filling speed of the carbonated beverage filling machine has reached up to 2000 cans/minute. There are 178 filling valves in the filling machinery of foreign companies. The diameter of the filling machine is up to 5 meters, and the filling accuracy is less than ± 0.5ml.

Domestic beverage equipment tends to be large-scale

In order to meet the needs of large-scale production of beverage industry and obtain high-quality economic benefits, beverage equipment is becoming more and more large-scale. For example, the filling speed of carbonated beverage filling equipment can reach up to 2000 cans/min. Mechanical and electrical integration is an important trend in the development of beverage machinery and equipment. Programmable controller is widely used in the control system of beverage machinery and equipment.

Large equipment adopts computer control, fault self-diagnosis, signal display and intelligence. The production equipment has high technical content, high reliability, high automatic control level and high efficiency of the whole production line. The online detection device and metering device are complete and can automatically detect various parameters and measure accurately. High-tech products integrating machinery, electricity, gas, light and magnetism are constantly emerging. The reliability of beverage packaging equipment and the coordination of the packaging line directly affect the work efficiency, production cost and product quality of the entire production line.

Development trend of juice production line in the future

First of all, high speed, high quality, high precision and large-scale development are the main trend of the development of juice production lines in the future. In order to meet the needs of large-scale production of beverage industry and obtain high-quality economic benefits, beverage equipment is becoming more and more large-scale. For example, the filling speed of carbonated beverage filling equipment can reach up to 2000 cans/minute, the number of filling valve heads of non-carbonated beverage equipment can reach 50-100, and the filling speed can reach up to 1500 cans/minute.

Secondly, the equipment is more multifunctional, all-in-one and multi-purpose, which is suitable for filling and sealing of various liquids and bottles. It can be used for hot filling of tea drinks, coffee drinks, soymilk drinks, juice drinks and other drinks, as well as glass bottles and polyester bottles.

Third, mechatronics. This is an important trend in the development of beverage machinery and equipment. Programmable controllers are widely used in the control system of beverage machinery and equipment. Large equipment adopts computer control, fault self-diagnosis, signal display and intelligence.

The production equipment has high technical content, high reliability, high automatic control level and high efficiency of the whole production line. The online detection device and metering device are complete and can automatically detect various parameters and measure accurately. High-tech products integrating machinery, electricity, gas, light and magnetism are constantly emerging. The reliability of beverage packaging equipment and the coordination of the packaging line directly affect the work efficiency, production cost and product quality of the entire production line.

The scientific research strength of domestic juice beverage packaging industry is weak and needs to be strengthened

Although there are many enterprises producing fruit juice in China, some small and medium-sized enterprises generally have the problem of backward technology and equipment. Small and medium-sized enterprises of domestic food equipment generally have low technical level.

Some food enterprises have to spend a lot of money to introduce some complete sets of food packaging production lines with advanced technology, high production efficiency and high packaging accuracy from abroad in order to achieve technical transformation, resulting in a large part of domestic market share being occupied by foreign brands. The development space of filling machinery in China is still broad, and the level of packaging technology of juice beverage production line needs to be urgently developed.

According to the Institute of Internal Medicine, there are few related majors in universities, and there is a lack of talents. The scientific research force in the juice and beverage industry is weak. Some cutting-edge technologies in the industry, such as ultra-low temperature, ultra-high pressure, membrane separation, supercritical extraction, radiation, vacuum, etc., cannot be completed by only one institute, and it is urgent for enterprises to invest funds.

The research and development model of combining production, learning and research advocated in the past has not been successful in the industry, and the limited scientific research force has not fully played its role. The fruit juice production line strongly needs scientific research support.
