Food packaging is a component of food products. One of the main projects in the food industry. It protect the food, make food to consumers' hands in leave factory circulation process, prevent biological, chemical, and physical external factors of the damage, it also can keep the food itself stable quality function, its edible convenience food, food is the first performance appearance, attract consumer's image, with the value beyond the material cost. Therefore, food packaging process is also an inseparable part of food manufacturing systems engineering. At present, China's packaging machinery industry maintains a growth of about 16% per year, and has become the world's largest commodity producer and exporter. The deep processing of agricultural products in our country not only desires the quantity, but also the technology level and the performance, the quality. Many countries in the world of packaging machinery and equipment, production lines, manufacturing group and multinational companies, large sums of money in and organize professional staff to develop research, strive to accelerate the packaging machinery and equipment mechanical and electrical integration. Under such fierce competition, China's food processing enterprises should actively explore new technologies and seize the huge market opportunities brought by food packaging. There are a lot of packing new technology based on the above new thinking, new packaging thinking means that the detachment of the existing packaging technology and products, to other related technology combined to form a new packaging technology applied to the packaging, this aspect including packing cutting molding technology, curing technology, packaging function protection technology, packaging and processing technology, packaging function use technology. There are other techniques, such as packaging technology for living things. With the advent of packaging new materials, some packaging process technology has also changed. If the appearance of the dry stretch wrapping film, the wrapping, shrinking, binding and other processes are integrated, the operation can be simplified and fast. This kind of packaging processing integration solves a lot of processing technology, directly borrows the packaging mechanism, realizes the packaging processing integration, makes the packaging more potential and effective. The essence of electromechanical integration is to use the process control principle from the viewpoint of the system to combine mechanical, electronic and information, detection and other related technologies to achieve the overall optimization. Traditional food packaging machinery USES mechanical control, such as CAM distribution shaft, and then the control of photoelectric control and pneumatic control. But with the increasing of food processing process, parameters to the rising number of requirements on packing, the original control system has been difficult to meet the needs of the development of new technology should be adopted to change the appearance of food packaging machinery. Today's food filling machine is set machine, electricity, gas, light, magnetism in the integration of machinery and electronics equipment, when the design, should focus on improving the automation of packaging machinery, packaging machinery research and development and combining with computer, electromechanical integration control. With the rapid development of modern industrial technology, the development of foreign packaging and food machinery equipment presents a new trend. Process automation degree more and more high, heavy use of computer design and electromechanical integration control, each manipulator are controlled by a single computer, camera monitoring packing action and feedback the information to the computer to adjust the movement range, ensure the high quality packaging. At the same time, the packaging material and the thickness have automatic recognition function, and then the computer is calculated to control the mechanical action, which is a "adaptive" system, ensuring the system works in the optimal state. Improve production efficiency, reduce process cost and meet production requirements. As people living standard unceasing enhancement, also boost demand for a variety of convenience foods, the pull of the rapid development of the food packaging industry in our country, food packaging machinery industry in China has begun to enter the mature stage, can well meet the practical requirement of each domain users, given the food packaging machinery processing mechanical and electrical integration advantages of cheap, is increasingly widely used. With the expansion of the food industry, the demand for mechatronics packaging machinery will gradually increase and the development potential is huge.
