In recent years, the biscuit industry in China's rapid development and its market potential should not be underestimated. According to the Chinese Bakery Sugar Products Industry Association Nianlin Zhu, according to figures provided by the National Bureau of Statistics, in 1999 and 2003 the overall biscuit production doubled, increasing by 100%, sales increased by 80%, the production of five years an average annual increase of more than 15% year-on-year sales increase of more than 10%, showing that the whole industry is thriving. Especially in 2003 the biscuit production 100% more than in 2002. The domestic biscuit backbone enterprise development by leaps and bounds, in the context of last year, the prices of raw materials, or to obtain a better performance.
According to statistics, from January to October this year, the domestic biscuit production compared to the same period last year increased by 16.4%, 18.7% increase in sales revenue. It is understood that the biscuit industry in China in recent years, rapid development, on the one hand, some foreign companies have entered the Chinese biscuit market, accounting for most of the high-end domestic biscuit market share, and has a strong market advantage; On the other hand, in 10 years before the domestic biscuit market-based, state-owned enterprises in recent years as corporate restructuring, the development of state-owned enterprises subject to different degrees, and private enterprises have sprung up everywhere in the biscuit industry, rapid development, has been the emergence of a number of annual output in the tens of thousands of tons of The above quite powerful private enterprises rookie, on behalf of the new trends of the industry. However, the biscuit industry in rapid development, compared with foreign enterprises there is a big gap. This should cause the domestic enterprises attach great importance biscuits.
At present, the domestic biscuit market, most of the cookies or mainly to middle and low product. Has developed to a certain scale enterprises are in the transition stage, biscuits market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, profit margins shrink. Some companies have reduced the amount of low-grade production of biscuits, began to enter the field of high-end products, rising biscuits grade. Therefore, the critical period of development in the domestic biscuit industry, through face-to-face exchanges with foreign counterparts learn about the latest developments of the foreign biscuit industry, international famous brand products of advanced production equipment, production technology, the further development of China's biscuit industry. play a catalytic role. The latest integrated biscuit packaging production line http://www2.soofan.com Chinese meal Network 2005-12-9 19:50:52 United Kingdom United Biscuits (United Biscuits, hereinafter referred to as ub) company invested ￡ 5 million for the purchase of new The production and packaging Ginger nuts biscuits device, which will carlisle City, United Kingdom plant most of the manual conversion has become a highly automated operation. Although there are a small part of the investment is for the purchase of a new mixer and oven controller upgrade, most of the new equipment and packaging. Since the new production line put into operation in June last year, the production efficiency greatly improved. Now, the yield of the five Packer nearly 40% more than the yield of the 25 workers in the useless automation equipment before. This production line is mainly used in the production of McVitie's brand ginger nuts biscuits (in the UK called cookies called cookies) in the United States, per day, five days a week, running 24 hours a day using new production line after a additional benefit is to improve the packaging shelf display sexual Packing by roll changed the flow. "packaging machine, a triangular support plate, can the bottom sealing promotion go," said Peter scott, department manager, "in the traditional flow packaging machine, bottom seal portion than the packaging itself. Formed by the flow packaging machine packaging becomes even many neat. New packaging material is provided by Alcan Packaging Company, which is a 20 micron transparent pp 28 micron white pp by adhesive composite made of bilayers, at the graphics are transparent pp substrate reverse gravure six-color printing. in select packaging equipment for Ginger nuts biscuit production line, ub using an integrated system cooling conveyor belt from the starting end of the production line to the end of the robot packing machine production line Most of the equipment is provided by Sigpack Systems, Inc. (now part of the Bosch Packaging technology company). "We have chosen is generally recognized, best-of-breed solutions. Carlisle factory's chief engineer Glenn Allison said parts of the device is managed by a rockwell contrologix controller, both responsible for the logic is also responsible for the movement. Another prominent feature of the production lines as it is based on sigpack systems systegra concept design, based on this concept, all the machines via a communication network (PROFIBUS) tightly integrated together like Scott said: "The whole production line is very intelligent, each part of other portions communicate with each other through the communication network. Flexibility and rapid product changeover is also designed this production line is a very important goal, partly because ub both produces its own brand products, also OEM production for other customers. "With rapid product conversion ability allows us to maximize the seize the opportunity, "Allison said," Replacing a thin film may take 2-3 minutes, if you want to change the size and outer packaging of the product, that the time required for more than 45 minutes. Scratch when the biscuits being transferred from the first floor of the mixing and baking workshop on the packaging line on the second floor of the cooling belt, the packaging operation is started. Separation track biscuits will be sent to two separate belt, these two belt leading to a packaging line in 2 packaging line, biscuits after finishing, flow packs, accumulate, packing, sealing and other operations. vivid pattern printed on the packaging film sometimes McVitie's brand, Sometimes other customers. No. 1 packing line packaging line is basically the same, except that it also has an option to install the trackwheel, which can be packaged cookies sent to a rotating carousel at, and then sent to the second flow packaging machine place, so that the two packet of biscuits and then packed into a large bag. If you know the biscuits are fed by hand packaging machine, and then by the artificial packaged cookies loaded into the carton, then the operation of the packaging line will leave a deep impression. Packaging, the first task is to make these biscuits to stand up to the supine state of ginger nut biscuits. Reduce the vibration channel of the feed conveyor behind a few inches, to easily solve the problem. This small decline will make cookies that overlap like tiles, With the constant vibration, they will gradually and gently adjust to the upright position, arranged in 10 rows. Followed by a 10-channel vibratory feeder device is a 10-row sigpack zhg biscuits into any packaging the required number of copies, and specific measurement method. For example, a 200 gram packs and packaging usually takes 20 cookies. Measured after a predetermined number of cookies, a mechanical member will immediately prevent the entry of subsequent biscuits. Then the the ten assigned number of cookies will be sent to a feeding tray, and then into a right angles to the continuous operation of the air conveyor, followed by a right angle conveyor, and finally into hss flow packaging machine. Flow packaging machine at speeds up to 140 bags / min, and install a markem smart-date thermal transfer coder. Typically use a clear, cold seal film packaging machine, the flow packaging opportunities in the downstream packaging line, 1 secondary packaging printed packaging film immediately. Far behind the flow packaging machine is the one provided by the heat and Control Branch the ishida weighing / metal detector. Because we all know, to let all of Ginger nuts biscuits remain completely consistent is very difficult, so often there will be 20 a pack of biscuits too heavy or too light. Weighing machine can be found in this case, to send a feedback signal to the the hss flow on the packing machine contologix controller. The controller then sends a signal to upstream feeder the zhg 10 channel, and notify it to increase or decrease a number of biscuits on each channel. "Due to the help of the communication network, the finger on the machine is automatically adjusted," Allison said. This integrated control is so precise that only five workers will be able to operate two finishing machines, three flow packaging machine, a rotating carousel, two accumulation system, the two out-of-the-box machine, two loaded box and two sealing machine, these make up the two packaging lines. The rotating carousel responsible for biscuit packets transmitted to the the hbm packaging machine from HSM flow packaging machine is a rotating carousel. Sick continuous laser sensors help avoid transparent packaging film can be accurately determine the distal end edge of the biscuit, and then transmitted for rent on the vacuum pickup head may be packaged biscuits packet transmission to the one air conveyor, which in turn is connected with a right angle conveyors. Subsequently, biscuit packet is sent to a group of two Department of the hbm packaging machine. Background suppression provided by sick photoelectric sensor stainless steel conveyor track of the the following packaging bag can be ignored, and two packets of biscuits can be recognized in the correct location, and then the secondary packaging. Twin Pack cookies to be sent directly to the left also installed markem smart-date coder secondary packaging machine, a sigpack ttl automatic top-in at the packing machine. If the packing is not ready for some reason, a sigpack fs store FIFO vertical buffer system will receive a packet of biscuits, until the packing machine ready. "Packing machine need to remove the obstruction, biscuit package will stop like a car into a multi-storey car park as temporarily stored in the fs store buffer system," Scott said, "If fs store buffer system does not have the extra space, it will issued a pause signal to the packaging machine, followed by finishing zhg machine / feeder will be suspended. biscuits will continue to accumulate in the 10-channel vibration feeder, until the downstream equipment is working properly again. production line is tightly integrated. Auxiliary TTL automatic packing machine work is a sigpack automatic box, it can be adapted to 13 different carton or pallet form. Boxes or trays in whatever form, it will be on the top into position. If you are replacing a different form of cartons, just on the HMI touch screen menu to a few minutes to complete. Packed carton sealing tape, and then the same Markem ink jet coder coding, and finally was sent to a little far palletizing area. This production line since its installation in June last year, has been running a good day, can handle about 7 million biscuits. The other UB Our factory is also assessing the performance of this production line, may also choose this integrated system. Engineering Manager Allison no surprise. "We buy packaging line, we know it quality." He said.
