Huashi Exhibition - Yudong booth

　　Deeply cultivate the field of automated packaging and build a comprehensive solution for food packaging

Shanghai Yudong Automation Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Yudong) is an automated packaging equipment enterprise that integrates research and development, manufacturing, sales, and service. It has long focused on the research and development of packaging equipment for industries such as food, medicine, and daily chemical products. Enterprises provide automated packaging solutions for food enterprises through production line equipment such as automatic bagging, sealing, and vacuum packaging.

In an interview with Food Machinery Equipment Network, Zhang Wei, the manager of Yudong East China Region, stated that one of the important reasons why the company chose to participate in the Huashi Exhibition is that the exhibition can cover the core customer group of the food industry chain.

Huashi Exhibition covers the entire industry chain from food supply to food processing and packaging, and can accurately reach food production enterprises, catering chain brands, and food supply chain enterprises, which are our core customer groups, "said Zhang Wei.

In the food industry production system, packaging is not only the last link for products to enter the market, but also directly related to food preservation, safety, and brand image. Therefore, the stability and automation level of packaging equipment are increasingly becoming the focus of attention for food enterprises.

Yudong has been continuously promoting the upgrading of automated packaging technology in recent years, gradually forming packaging solutions covering various food categories through equipment modular design and integrated capabilities.

　　Flexible production design to meet the packaging needs of multiple categories of food

At this year's Huashi Exhibition, Yudong showcased a variety of automated packaging equipment, among which the fully automatic high-speed stretch film vacuum packaging machine became one of the products with high attention on the booth.

This device can complete multiple processes such as stretching, forming, vacuuming, sealing, coding, and cutting, achieving an integrated automatic packaging process. By replacing the mold, the equipment can adapt to the packaging requirements of different specifications of products.

Zhang Wei introduced that this kind of equipment can be widely used in food packaging scenarios such as meat products, seafood, conditioned food, flour products and Pickled vegetables, and also suitable for packaging of shaped products.

Compared with traditional packaging methods, stretch film packaging can reduce the use of roll film materials instead of pre made bagspackaging materialThe cost can also be increased by implementing continuous automation during the production process, thereby improving production efficiency.

In recent years, with the development of pre packaged meals and new retail channels, the demand for food packaging has shown the characteristics of multiple specifications and small batches. In response to this trend, Yudong has introduced a modular changeover system in equipment design.

We can control the equipment changeover time within ten minutes through the fast loading buckle structure and modular design, "Zhang Wei introduced. Through the intelligent formula management system, the equipment can call the packaging parameters of different products, achieving rapid switching of multi specification products.

This flexible production mode can help food enterprises better adapt to the production needs of multiple varieties and small batches.

　　Parallel intelligentization and greenization promote the upgrading of packaging equipment

Against the backdrop of rapid development in the food packaging equipment industry, customer demands are also constantly changing. Zhang Wei believes that the significant changes in the current packaging equipment field are mainly reflected in three aspects: intelligence, greenness, and flexibility.

In terms of intelligence, enterprises are trying to integrate visual inspection systems, IoT monitoring and other technologies into packaging equipment to achieve real-time monitoring and remote maintenance of the packaging process.

In the future, packaging equipment will not only be production tools, but also an important source of production data, "said Zhang Wei. By recording packaging parameters through a data system, the production process can be traced, thereby meeting food safety regulatory requirements.

In terms of greening, packaging equipment is gradually adapting to the needs of environmentally friendly materials and energy-saving production. For example, by optimizing equipment structure design and control systems, material loss can be reduced and energy consumption can be lowered.

For the pre packaged food industry, packaging technology also plays an important role in extending the shelf life of food. By using vacuum or modified atmosphere packaging technology, the gas ratio inside the packaging can be effectively controlled, thereby improving the preservation effect of food.

In Zhang Wei's view, as the pre packaged food and new retail markets continue to expand, the demand for automated packaging equipment will continue to grow.

The food industry is accelerating its upgrading, placing higher demands on equipment performance, efficiency, and customization capabilities. Enterprises need to continuously increase their research and development investment to provide customers with smarter and more environmentally friendly packaging solutions

The development path of Yudong Technology from automated packaging equipment to whole line solutions also reflects the upgrading trend of the food packaging equipment industry. With the continuous improvement of food industrialization, technological innovation around packaging efficiency, food safety, and flexible production will still become an important direction for industry development.
