Food Machinery Should Stick to Localization

The food machinery industry is facing an important moment of a new round of structural adjustments, technology upgrades, and product replacements. In fact, the spring of food machinery is quietly coming in the field of food processing. We believe that the domestic high-end automated food machinery industry has entered a golden period. As a surprise by-product of the rapid rise in labor costs and the adjustment and upgrading of industrial structure, the replacement of artificial labor by food machinery has become a catalyst for the rapid development of the industry.

At present, the cost of a simple food machinery item is equivalent to a worker's three-year salary and its life span is more than 10 years. Statistics show that the cost of domestic food machinery is declining at a rate of 4% per year, and cost-oriented technology upgrades have a huge market space in China.

The status quo of the domestic food machinery industry is mutual imitation - mutual imitation, counterfeiting in the country, also known as internal imitation. The level is probably the same, and today someone you have tomorrow will follow. Of course, the food machinery industry has so many companies that have their own mechanical design capabilities to develop new products. However, once the products are exposed, other manufacturers follow. So on the Internet we look for food machinery and we see a lot of products, but most of them are similar.

In comparison, some foreign food manufacturers are inspected abroad and their products are quite different in appearance and design principles. This is the reason why many domestic manufacturers who want to innovate are striving to learn about foreign products. The operation method is to attend exhibitions abroad, take some equipment pictures or directly purchase a sample of equipment, and use them for imitation. This is outside imitation, imitating foreign.

It should be noted that domestic still rely on imports in some key core technology areas. Therefore, the development of some precision machinery parts will become the focus of government policy support in the future, and companies that master core technologies will benefit.

Whether it is imitation or imitation is imitation, there is not much innovation and design. The product will always follow and follow others. To surpass and innovate must have its own mechanical design capabilities. Mechanical design and R&D are fundamental prerequisites for the localization of food machinery.

The capability of independent innovation is not only an important foundation for the food machinery industry to accelerate the transformation of development methods and achieve transformation and upgrading, but also an important guarantee for the quality and safety of food machinery. With the development of society and economy, increasing quality requirements are bound to prompt the food machinery industry to accelerate innovation. Although it is a relatively long process to achieve accelerated innovation, no major technological breakthroughs have been achieved at present, and the growth is relatively stable, while high-end equipment manufacturing The rise of the industry strategy will certainly contribute to the localization of food machinery.
