People who pay attention to food-related prices can easily find that the milk at the end of last year, the beer, beverages, and some snack foods at the beginning of this year have quietly raised prices. The rising prices of raw materials such as packaging materials and sugar have become the price increase unanimously mentioned by these food companies. Reasons. The rise in raw material prices not only affects the food industry, but also further reduces the living space of China's food machinery equipment industry. For a long time, China's food machinery and equipment industry has adopted the 'good quality and low price' as the main competitive advantage of equipment. The rising price of bulk raw materials will inevitably lead to an increase in the production cost of food machinery and equipment, which in turn will weaken the low price advantage of China's food machinery and equipment, and bring certain difficulties to equipment sales.
With the lack of sufficient supply of raw materials due to de-capacity, the environmental protection facilities and equipment are not in place, causing many carton manufacturers to shut down. The phenomenon of rising raw materials is expected to exist for a long time. How to stabilize food machinery in this situation? Equipment production and sales has become a problem that many companies are thinking about. The author believes that the following three aspects can be used to resolve the impact of rising raw materials on the food machinery industry.
Change energy usage structure
Earlier, coal was widely used as a low-cost energy source in the manufacturing process. As people became more aware of energy conservation and environmental protection, coal was gradually restricted by the use of large amounts of waste. In the past two years, raw materials have risen, coal Resources as a basic energy increase is particularly large. In this form, changing the energy structure and seeking energy substitutes with less obvious increase can solve the pressure brought by the rising price of basic energy-based raw materials.
Changing the energy use structure includes changing the energy use structure of food machinery and equipment and changing the energy use structure when producing food machinery and equipment. Changing the energy use structure of food machinery and equipment, the boiler is the most obvious change of food machinery equipment. Increase, many areas have called out the password call for 'coal to electricity', the first change is the boiler equipment, the boiler energy structure in many regions is changing from coal-fired like gas, electricity, etc.; when changing the production of food machinery and equipment The energy use structure needs to adjust the energy of the food machinery equipment production process. At present, it is an ideal choice to promote coal to electricity.
Increase efficiency and reduce costs
The rising raw materials will lead to an increase in the production cost of food machinery equipment. However, the production cost of food machinery equipment is not only controlled by the price of raw materials, but the production efficiency of equipment can also reduce costs. At present, the most effective way to improve the production efficiency of food machinery equipment is Adopt automated, intelligent production line.
Earlier at an expo, a Foshan company developed a meat grinder assembly line that could assemble a small meat grinder in 12 seconds, speeding up the productivity of the meat grinder assembly by 8 seconds, and saving Nearly 20 personal workers, greatly reducing equipment production costs; a well-known microwave oven manufacturer in China is also equipped with microwave oven automatic assembly production line, electric steam oven automation machine and automatic cavity production line for the production of microwave oven. The application of these production lines makes the company's daily production capacity. Up to 5,000 units, the production efficiency has increased by nearly 40%... These examples are all intelligent, and the automated production line plays a huge role in improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.
Improve product competitiveness
Another way to diminish the impact of rising raw materials on the food machinery industry is to use scientific research to enhance product competitiveness. Arming food machinery and equipment with scientific research can make food machinery and equipment in a state of 'people without me' for a long time. bargaining power.
Although foreign food machinery and equipment are highly priced, the performance, efficiency and quality of equipment can be recognized by food companies. Therefore, there are still a large number of food enterprises that choose to introduce foreign food machinery and equipment for production. Some leading enterprises in China's food machinery equipment industry. We are increasing the productivity of equipment R&D, and gradually aligning with the internationally renowned food machinery equipment brands in terms of equipment production efficiency and performance. It is understood that the production capacity of small bottle blowing machines developed by food machinery equipment companies in China can reach 81,000 bottles/ Hours, the production capacity of small bottle blowing machine with international famous brands is almost the same.
At present, the crazy rise of raw materials in the market has brought many problems to food machinery and equipment enterprises. However, it is not difficult to see through careful analysis. There are many solutions to this problem. Relevant food machinery equipment manufacturers need to change their ideas as soon as possible. Flexible use of energy replacement, efficiency, and scientific research to solve problems.
