Analysis of Market Trends of Global Pharmaceutical Packaging Machinery Market

The gap between the high-end level of China's pharmaceutical packaging machinery and foreign countries is not large, and some of the equipment has been synchronized with the current world's latest technological progress, but there is still a big gap between the overall level and the foreign advanced level.

At present, China's pharmaceutical packaging machinery has filled gaps in the basic categories and basic technologies, but there are still gaps in the sources of funds for product R&D, test conditions, product stability, and automatic control. In the aspect of self-control technology, foreign pharmaceutical packaging machinery and equipment have basically realized the design of intelligence and humanization, and China's pharmaceutical packaging machinery is relatively backward in PLC control and interface control. In addition to using PLC control technology, it is necessary to make matching choices in materials, design, and all relevant links at the same time, so that intelligent control can be realized. At the same time, China's pharmaceutical packaging machinery is still relatively lacking in stability, which may lead to product quality problems and affect the entire packaging line.

The outstanding stability of pharmaceutical packaging machinery is a key requirement for pharmaceutical production companies with large production capacities and a wide variety of products, because unstable equipment can easily lead to production interruptions and affect production. Factors that affect the stability of pharmaceutical packaging machinery are materials, components, and basic transmissions. First of all, the low-level configuration of materials and components will seriously affect the stability of the equipment, but at present some companies in our country purchase low-grade or even inferior materials and components for cost considerations. Second, the basic transmission on the packaging machine is also one of the factors that affect the stability of the packaging machinery. At present, China's pharmaceutical packaging equipment mainly consists of basic transmission devices such as chains, tugs, and stalks. This will bring hidden dangers to the stability of the machinery, and foreign pharmaceutical packaging machines basically use servo drive systems. It should be said that choosing a servo motor is not a difficult task, but companies often consider the potential cost pressure of introducing a servo motor. Enterprises from the traditional transmission mode to the application of servo motor, and then need to provide other institutions or equipment also supporting servo motor, so that, along with the improvement of control accuracy, the cost will also increase, so that many pharmaceutical manufacturers can not afford.

Taking the packaging machine as an example, the production capacity of the earliest domestic packaging machines was 40 bottles per minute, followed by 60 bottles per minute until it reached 120 bottles per minute. The same equipment in foreign countries reached 300 bottles/minute when we achieved a production speed of 60 bottles/minute. China's Hafei Group's products, which are independently developed by the packaging machine, have no difference in production per minute and function of equipment from foreign equipment, but their stability is not outstanding. If the same foreign packaging equipment can achieve stable production at a production rate of 300 bottles/minute, the production speed of similar equipment in the country can only be stabilized at 280 bottles/minute.

Taking aluminum-plastic packaging machines as an example, China's domestic aluminum-plastic packaging machines have a large gap with foreign countries, reflecting each specific work link. For example, the textured lines of aluminum-plastic packaging machines produced in China are deep and uneven. For example, the feeding process is a very critical and weak link in all types of packaging machines at home and abroad, but compared with foreign countries, the feeding process of our country's pharmaceutical packaging machines is even weaker. China also has a roller brush type aluminum-plastic packaging machine, which is a special machine that uses a special feeding process. For the production capacity of the feeding process, taking capsules as an example, the output of domestic equipment is 600 capsules per minute, tablets are from 700 to 800 capsules per minute, and the loading process of foreign aluminum packaging machines can achieve 2000 Grain/minute production speed.

The use of materials, processing methods, and coordination and other factors of the organization directly affect the production speed and operating conditions of the aluminum-plastic packaging machine.

Currently, global pharmaceutical packaging machinery is moving in a direction that is more in line with GMP certification. For pharmaceutical packaging machinery, the direction of in-depth development is faster, more stable, higher level of automation control, more humane operation, more convenient, more convenient cleaning and so on. How to go along with the GMP certification in the depth direction and the development strategy in the middle requires the Chinese pharmaceutical packaging machinery industry to carry out in-depth thinking.
