Upgrading China's Food Packaging Machinery: Innovation, Standards and Talent
China's food machinery sector still has considerable room to grow. A key reason is that a large share of food consumed in the country comes from agriculture and remains unprocessed. Without adequate food processing machinery, food resources cannot be promptly processed, stored or preserved, causing annual losses of several billion yuan; the waste from missed deep processing and comprehensive utilization is even larger. On this basis, food machinery in China has promising market prospects.
In terms of products, quite a few Chinese food machinery products can match advanced levels, yet products with independent intellectual property rights and genuine technological innovation remain scarce. “Keeping up” often means following or even imitation, with little original innovation. Manufacturers therefore need to take innovation as their guide, develop new products around independent IP, and introduce advanced equipment, so that domestic food machinery manufacturing can truly upgrade. A fundamental part of that upgrade is raising the overall quality of people in the industry—both their ideological quality and technical quality.
Ideological quality covers concepts, ways of thinking, decision-making level and innovative thinking. On January 23, 2009, the Standardization Administration of China (SAC) issued the national standard Food Machinery Safety and Hygiene. It sets out safety and hygiene requirements for food machinery and equipment in material selection, design, manufacturing and configuration. The standard applies to food machinery and equipment, as well as food packaging machinery for liquid, solid and semi-solid foods with product contact surfaces. As a result, food packaging machinery development now rests on a firmer foundation.
