Recently, there has been a new development in the field of domestic packaging equipment - Ply-Pack Factory announced that its independently developed seventh-generation intelligent vacuum packaging machine has officially gone into production. With its modular design and energy consumption optimization technology, this equipment directly hits the "double pain points" of packaging efficiency and cost control for food and pharmaceutical companies, and has attracted widespread attention in the industry.
From "usable" to "easy to use", how can vacuum packaging machines break through?
"In the past, the production line was most afraid of changing models. It took two hours to adjust the equipment once. Now it can be done with a few clicks on the screen." The person in charge of a frozen food company said with emotion after trying the new Ply-Pack equipment. As the consumer market's requirements for freshness and shelf life become increasingly stringent, traditional vacuum packaging machines have gradually become a shortcoming that restricts the company's production capacity due to complex operations and poor compatibility.
In this regard, the technical director of ply-pack revealed in an interview: "The research and development direction of the new generation of vacuum packaging machines is very clear-making the equipment more "smart" and more "durable". We add intelligent sensing modules to allow the machine to automatically identify the thickness of the packaging material and adjust the vacuum strength to avoid damage to brittle ingredients; at the same time, the optimized dual-circulation heat dissipation system can support the equipment to operate at high intensity for 12 hours continuously, and the stability is 30% higher than the previous generation."
A technological innovation about "breathing"
The core function of the vacuum packaging machine is to "draw away air and lock in freshness", but the needs of different industries vary significantly. For example, marinated product companies require rapid vacuuming to prevent soup splashing, while Chinese herbal medicine companies need to accurately control the residual oxygen rate to retain the efficacy.
"This is our breakthrough point." The head of the ply-pack production department pointed to the equipment being assembled and introduced, "The new model adopts a compartment design. Food companies can choose the high-speed pulse mode to complete single-bag packaging in 15 seconds; pharmaceutical customers can turn on the precision mode to control the residual oxygen rate below 0.5%. One set of equipment meets the needs of multiple scenarios, and the customer's investment return cycle is shortened by at least 6 months." It is worth mentioning that the vacuum packaging machine has outstanding performance in energy saving. By recycling and reusing the residual pressure generated during vacuuming, energy consumption is reduced by 22% compared with the industry average. For companies with a daily output of more than 10,000 pieces, it is equivalent to saving the electricity cost of one device every year. Customer Case: From "making do" to "exquisite" A seafood processing company in Zhejiang was once troubled by packaging leakage. "During the peak season, 3% of returns are due to substandard vacuum, resulting in losses of up to six figures." The company's production manager said that after switching to the ply-pack vacuum packaging machine, not only did the leakage rate drop to 0.3%, but another problem was unexpectedly solved. "The data analysis function of the equipment can automatically mark the period of vacuum fluctuation. We followed the clues and found the hidden danger of unstable temperature in the cold storage." Similar feedback is increasing. A mushroom cooperative in Yunnan originally used ordinary food packaging equipment. After upgrading the vacuum packaging machine at the suggestion of ply-pack engineers, the shelf life of the product was extended from 3 months to 8 months, and the supermarket channel outside the province was successfully opened. "I used to think that vacuum packaging was the icing on the cake, but now I know it is the life and death line." The head of the cooperative said frankly. Future layout: Let smart devices "understand the industry better" In the face of heated discussions in the industry, the head of the ply-pack marketing department revealed that the next step will be to develop special modules for emerging fields such as pre-prepared dishes and functional foods. "For example, we can customize the anti-overflow vacuuming program for instant soups, or add the QR code synchronization function for health foods. Our goal is not only to provide vacuum packaging machines, but also to create an intelligent packaging ecosystem that adapts to the Chinese industrial chain." According to industry observers, with the implementation of new regulations such as the "Requirements for Restricting Excessive Packaging of Goods", efficient and environmentally friendly vacuum packaging machines will become a rigid demand for manufacturers. The technological upgrade of ply-pack may push the entire food packaging equipment industry into the "precision and efficiency era".
