As one of the earliest technicians to participate in the Quanzhou pilot project, I have witnessed the magic of the green packaging production line in the workshop for the past three months. I remember that on the day the project started, the factory manager pointed to the ceiling of the warehouse and said: "In the future, our production line will not only package products, but also be able to 'produce' sunlight." Now looking at the rooftop photovoltaic panels glowing blue in the morning light, I really understand the weight of this sentence.
The core secret of our green packaging production line is hidden in those energy storage devices that can "breathe". In the past, when it was rainy, the traditional photovoltaic system would fail. Now, through intelligent energy storage buffering, the production line can run stably for more than ten hours. Last week, it rained for three consecutive days in Quanzhou. The workshop director Lao Lin came to the monitoring room to watch. As a result, the production line speed did not drop below the industry average. I can remember his surprised expression for a whole year.
Speaking of the changes brought about by the application of clean energy, the temperature control system of the packaging process is the most obvious. In the past, when using the mains electricity, the temperature fluctuation of the heat sealer always hovered around ±5¡æ. Now, with the direct supply of photovoltaic power and energy storage regulation, the temperature difference control is directly reduced to within ±1¡æ. Operator Xiao Chen joked: "This machine is more obedient than my air conditioner, and the seals are so neat that they can be used as a ruler." What's more, the surplus electricity can also replenish the factory lighting system, and the row of old fluorescent lamps in the warehouse have finally retired.
At the key node of the transformation of the packaging industry, our factory's solution hides a lot of clever ideas. For example, the energy storage equipment is integrated into the foundation of the packaging line, which saves space and is earthquake-resistant; another example is the development of an energy-adaptive conveyor belt system that automatically switches to energy-saving mode when unloaded. Last month, I was impressed by a piece of data from the industry forum - the overall energy consumption reduction of enterprises adopting similar green packaging production lines generally reached more than 30% of the industry baseline.
What impressed me most was the change in concepts brought about by the practice of carbon neutrality. I used to think that environmental protection would increase costs. Now, looking at the real-time updated carbon footprint monitoring screen, I found that each packaging box is "accumulating" environmental protection points. When receiving the inspection team last week, a customer took the structural diagram of photovoltaic energy storage integration and looked at it repeatedly. Finally, he decided to transfer one-third of the orders for next year to this production line for production, saying that he wanted to "let the products leave the factory with sunshine."
Standing in front of the intelligent monitoring screen, watching the curve representing photovoltaic power generation jumping happily, I suddenly remembered the various doubts encountered in the early stage of debugging. Today, this green packaging production line is not only running stably, but also has become a model project for industry observation. The leap from traditional manufacturing to clean energy application may be like what our factory director often says: "How can transformation be easy? But when the sun shines on the workshop, you will know it is worth it." Quanzhou, a hot land of private economy, is using the spirit of daring to be the first to write a vivid footnote to the transformation of the packaging industry.
