Currently, in the United States, Germany and the packaging industry will be coordinated with industrial automation trend towards R & D and technical personnel training and the development of more high-speed packaging machine direction, in technological development is moving in these directions. 
First, the development of new trends in U.S. packaging machinery
U.S. packaging industry started in the early 20th century, since World War II has been rapid development, and gradually establish and form, including packaging materials, packaging technology and packaging machinery complete and independent industrial system. Its packaging, industrial output value accounted for 3 percent of national economic output. According to the U.S. industry survey analysis, the use of packaging machinery industry is the largest food industry, followed by the beverage industry, household cleaning products and cosmetics industry, pharmaceutical products and tobacco industries. 
Specifically, the food industry as the largest use of U.S. packaging machinery industry, almost all models, models are used in the food industry. Among them, the annual demand for fruits and vegetables packaging machinery largest share, from 1985 to 2005 showed an increasing trend, demand in 1985 was 1.2 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for the year required for the food industry packaging machinery worth $ 7.3 billion 16.4% to 18.4% in 1994 to 2005 will account for 20.3%; meat packing machinery required for the second; dairy for the third, fourth bread, candy fifth place, with the exception of meat were flat , dairy products, candy packaging machinery food industry's share of annual demand for the proportion of total demand tended to decrease. Food industry packaging machinery demand in 1994 to 2000 the average annual growth rate of 7%. It is because of the U.S. food industry each year thousands of new products, thereby speeding up the upgrading of packaging machinery, so the U.S. food industry packaging machinery required rate of innovation is always in the first place. 
Than food and beverage industry is the second largest use of packaging machinery industry. Soft drinks for the maximum annual demand for packaging machinery in 1985 to 2005, the demand for soft drinks accounted for beverage industry packaging machinery annual demand for the largest proportion, 36.1 percent from 1985 to 1994 to 43.5% in 2000 to 47.6 %, by 2005 will account for 50%; while beer and alcoholic beverages annual demand for packaging machinery, although a slight increase in value, but in the beverage industry demand for packaging machinery in the proportion of GDP accounted for showing declining trend, from 1985 36.4% in 1994 to 31.3% in 2000 to 27% in 2005 will account for 24.2%, the reason is the growing emphasis on the health of consumers. 1994 ~ 2000 years of beverage industry packaging machinery demand value for average annual growth rate of 4%. 
Other industries mainly by household cleaning products and cosmetics, tobacco products, pharmaceutical products, household products composed of four sectors, other industries demand for packaging machinery in the total demand accounted for 1/3 or so.
From the packaging machinery market share, the U.S. top ten packaging machinery companies were: Barry  wehmiller company Beinis Company, SA-SIBsPA company, AveryDennison company, Bosch company, CrOwn Cork & ha company, DougalsMachine company, RAJoues B Cohpany company, Kliklk companies and Krones company. They succeed in the business, generally depends on three aspects: First, efforts to improve the corporate packaging machinery brand awareness; Second, pay attention to the enterprise sales performance; Third, attach great importance to the enterprise product after-sales service. 
Current U.S. packaging machinery is promising: Horizontal Pillow microcomputer control and is equipped with servo motor and a good film tension power control device packaging machinery, future microelectronics, computers, industrial robots, intelligent, image sensor technology and new materials such as in the packaging machinery will be more widely used to make packaging machinery increasingly automated, high-efficiency, energy-saving direction. 
Second, the German packaging machinery development of new trends 
German packaging machinery design based on market research and market analysis, and strive to provide customers, especially large enterprises. As science and technology development and market competition, customer demands on the mechanical properties are also increasing, mainly in the following aspects: 1, increase productivity, in order to meet delivery requirements and reduce process costs needs; For some products, but also requires packaging machinery and production machinery convergence. 2, to adapt to the needs of product updates, packaging machinery to have higher flexibility and agility. 3, less equipment failure, a failure can carry out remote diagnostic services. 4, environmental pollution, including noise, dust and waste pollution have to be small. 5, the purchase of equipment investment as little as possible, the price to be as low as possible.
German packaging machinery manufacturers and design departments, to meet the requirements of the customers to take the following measures: 
1 to improve process automation 
A few years ago, only packaging machinery design automation technology for 30%, and now accounts for more than 50%, extensive use of microcomputer design and mechatronics control to achieve improved packaging machinery automation purposes: First, to increase productivity; Second, in order improve the flexibility and agility equipment; three is to improve packaging machinery ability to complete complex movements that use mechanical hand to complete the packaging process. Such as chocolate packaging has been achieved with a mechanical hand to replace the original manual. 
Packaging machinery automation design has the following two main features: 
① Each robot controlled by a separate computer 
Packaging machinery for the completion of a complex package action, to be completed by a number of robots. Computer-controlled camera in uptake of information and monitoring, robotic computer program according to the provisions of the instructions to complete the action, to ensure the quality of packaging. 
② with the material and the thickness of the high-resolution capability 
In the packaging process, packaging materials and material changes in the thickness of the human eye is not easy to discern, so often used in the design of packaging machinery controlled by computers cameras and detectors to distinguish packaging material thickness and material changes. Camera has been developed to identify the camera on their own inspection and pictures, and in the display. Currently, the machine is in the processing speed is not changed, the future should be resolved according to the material after change after change speed to control the optimum mode of operation in the shortest time to complete the packaging process, and to achieve automatic cleaning, automatic and automatic disinfection clean. 
(2) improve productivity, reduce process costs and maximize meet production requirements 
German packaging machinery, especially beer beverage filling machinery and food packaging machinery, complete with high-speed, high degree of automation and reliability is good. Its beverage filling speeds of up to 1200 bottles / hour, cigarette packaging 12,000 / min. Increase machine speed is a complex issue, the faster, single-piece production cost is lower, but the plant area increases. 
In addition, the motor speed is limited, it is not as fast as many would like. In general, the speed increased by 15% to 20%, it will bring a range of complex issues. 
In addition to improving the speed increase productivity, but also from other sources to address: 
1). Use of continuous work or long work 
Packaging Machinery Works intermittent and continuous, the design should be designed as a continuous fight for work, they will improve productivity; a single device can also be a number of production line, producing the same product or several different products, but to improve reliability.
2) Reduce the rejection rate, provides fault analysis system 
To the production losses caused by waste is enormous, not only product loss, but also loss of material. So try to strongly reduce the rejection rate; packaging machinery for sale should also provide maintenance services for the failure analysis system, namely the modal analysis to find fault, or by Internal network for remote diagnostics, to best meet customer needs. For further future intelligent packaging machinery, namely equipment find their own fault of their own to solve the problem, in order to reduce the rejection rate and failure rate, so that the normal to increased productivity. 
3). Makes production machinery and packaging machinery integration 
Many went on to the end product packaging, which would also help to improve the productivity of products, such as the German production of chocolate production equipment and packaging equipment is controlled by a system completed. The key is to solve the integration of both productivity and good match with each other, including the production of packaging machinery often becomes a bottleneck, and therefore provide different productivity devices. 
3. Adapt product changes, designed with good flexibility and agility equipment 
Many of the packaged products to meet market competition, replacement cycles are getting shorter. Such as cosmetics production, three years for a change, or even a quarter of a change in production and are large, thus requiring packaging machinery has good flexibility and agility, so much larger than life packaging machinery product life cycle, in order to meet production requirements. 
To make packaging machinery has good flexibility and agility, improve the degree of automation, need for a substantial use of microcomputer technology, module technology and modular forms. Variety of packaging products to adapt to changes in the type and packaging, flexible packaging machinery and equipment and flexibility often manifested in the following three aspects: 
Amount of flexibility 
①Both packing single product, but also to adapt to different quantities of product packaging.  ② structural flexibility
The entire device using units and replace it with one or several units can adapt to changes in the product. 
Supply flexibility 
③The use of modular, each unit will combine to supply, such as candy packing machine, on a common basis, the combination of different units, three inlet, four different folding packaging, such a machine can simultaneously Package 8 to 10 different candy. A plurality of robot operation, a surveillance camera, the command of its action, according to instructions in different ways for different types of sweets for packaging. If the product has changed, as long as the program can change the camera, so that the device has good flexibility and agility. 4 to provide complete sets of equipment 
German packaging machinery design to user needs as a precondition for the production of structural and economic enterprises to provide complete system solutions, and use computer simulation technology demonstration operation to the user, modifications solicit user opinions. To provide users with automatic production line or production line equipment, with particular emphasis on the integrity of equipment, whether it is high-tech, high value-added equipment, or relatively simple equipment are provided by matching requirements. 
German packaging machinery manufacturers will also provide equipment as their efforts to target. As a beverage filling lines, more than 200 micro parts, there are many pipelines display, there are more than 100 kinds of motion control various packaging software programs. To meet the 1200 bottles / h productivity of two lines must work together, so the entire beverage filling production line must occupy an area of ??half a football field, and requires all devices within the device can in a factory. Think of our current packaging machinery production is the production of a large single multi vulnerable, and complete line of less; hosts more auxiliary less, supporting the poor. Germany, this practice is worth learning.
5. Widespread use of computer simulation design technology 
With the pace of new product development continues to accelerate, the German packaging machinery design commonly used by the computer simulation technology, various machine elements will be deposited into a computer database, the digitized drawings entered into the computer, the computer can automatically synthesized into 3D models. Then the actual production data and indicators input into, the various possible faults input into the three-dimensional computer model can be modeled on the real work to operate, demonstrate the ability to achieve productivity is how much waste there are many, various aspects of the production line whether it can match the production bottlenecks where customers based on the display of the curve at a glance, and can modify the model based on customer feedback. Computer-synthesized quickly, so quickly and easily modify the work until the customer or designer satisfaction. Using computer simulation design technology, greatly reducing the development of packaging machinery design cycle. 
Packaging machinery design should not only focus on its functionality and efficiency, but also to focus on its economy. However, economy is not entirely mechanical equipment itself, the running cost is more important, since the cost of equipment depreciation only 6% to 8%, the other is the running cost. 
Third, China's packaging machinery development of new trends 
The rapid development of China's packaging industry and food processing industry, the need to import a large number of high quality packaging machinery and food processing machinery, which gives foreign machinery manufacturing industry has brought great business opportunities. Parties are expected by 2005, China's food processing industry and packaging industry output will reach 44 billion yuan, an average annual growth rate of up to 10%. At present, the development of China's packaging machinery market showed the following characteristics: 
1. The increasing technological content of mechanical loading.
Some of our existing packaging machinery products technical content is not high, and has a lot of foreign advanced technology used in packaging machinery, such as long-distance remote control technology (including monitoring), stepper motor technology, automatic flexible compensation technology, laser cutting technology, information processing technology. 
2 packaging machinery market has become increasingly monopolized.
At present, China in addition to corrugated packaging machinery, and some small packing machine has a certain scale and advantages, Other Packaging Machinery almost fragmentation and scale, particularly in high demand on the market of some complete packaging lines, such as liquid filling production line, beverage containers equipment, aseptic packaging production line, cigarette packaging production lines in the world packaging market are several large packaging machinery companies (Group) monopoly. According to the forecast, as foreign enterprises to enter the Chinese market, some of which are not competitive domestic packaging machinery companies will be foreign companies acquisition, merger or bankruptcy, some packaging products will be monopolized by a few large enterprises, and gradually the scope of the monopoly from cigarettes, beverage packaging machinery packaging machinery products to expand into other products.
3 packaging machinery parts production specialization.
International packaging industry attaches great importance to improve the packaging machinery and packaging systems throughout the general ability. So packaging machinery parts production specialization is inevitable trend of development. Many parts are no longer produced by the Packaging Machinery Factory, but by some common standard factory production, some special parts from the highly specialized production factories. Really famous Packaging Machinery Factory assembly plant will likely be, it is because a lot of control parts packaging machinery and general equipment or structural components the same, you can borrow. China's current packaging industry "small", "large" pattern and professional development trend is incompatible, as soon as possible to adjust the overall structure of this irrational enterprise. 
4 Towards a multi-speed with a single polarization.
The ultimate purpose of packaging machinery to improve productivity and product diversification. This makes packaging machinery Product Specifications toward polarization direction, ie, with a single high-speed multi-function. Some large companies, such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi products to be sold around the world continuously, in the packaging products requires very high efficiency, emphasizing speed and quality. With China's accession to WTO, such products and enterprises in China will be more and more, and is versatile to adapt to changing market demands and development, such as candy, there pillow, triangle (shaped) and even asanas, etc. These products packaging requirements can be completed in a packaging equipment, but only in local control or operation can be completed in a little different structural transformation forms of packaging. 
In addition to the several trends, the variety of new packaging materials and technologies will continue to be used in packaging machinery. 
1 corrugated cardboard, cardboard (box), printing equipment 
Corrugated cardboard, cardboard packaging refers to the large cartons, fast food boxes, disposable cups, molded paper packaging, such products can be regarded as the leader in the packaging industry in the country nearly ten thousand cartons (boxes) packaging plant, a dozen years, the field of domestic circulation corrugated cardboard (box), printing equipment demand focused, in short supply. In addition to a large number of daily necessities in cartons, the present, motorcycles, bicycles are also extensive use of carton packaging. Especially indispensable in daily life by the willow baskets of fruit also use cardboard boxes for packaging. According to industry forecasts, soon, vegetables will also make extensive use of cardboard packaging. With further economic development, carton packaging enterprises renovation faster than the urgent need to 2000mm wide five, seven, nine and a variety of high-strength corrugated cardboard, cardboard (box) equipment. 
2 pharmaceutical processing and packaging machinery 
A variety of Chinese and Western medicine processing equipment, especially important in today's modern processing machinery and equipment industry is an important issue to address medicine slice, producer, injection, cream scattered pills packaging, urgently need a variety of pharmaceutical processing and packaging equipment, solutions product adaptability, and reliability of supporting, in particular, high-speed, automated, multi-functional packaging machinery and corresponding sets of composite packaging materials. 
3 convenient food production equipment 
Mainly instant noodles instant porridge and dumplings, steamed buns and other production machinery as the representative of convenience food processing equipment, increasing demand for its products. According to the domestic market survey, people demand for convenience foods direction are: nutritional value, high-end products and delicious. Traditional food processing and food processing equipment elderly and infants equally optimistic about market prospects, the relevant enterprises should focus on development. 
4 beer, beverage filling equipment 
Currently about 800 more than the nation's major breweries, beverage plants more than 2,000 major. Focus on the development of beer filling machinery produce 50,000 tons of medium-sized filling equipment, appropriate development of 100,000 tons / year of large-scale beer filling equipment. Insiders particularly stressed the need to develop high-speed, low-loss, measurement precision, automatic detection and other multi-functional automatic equipment. Beverage machinery to adapt to "concentrate on the production master agent, dispersing filling beverage" direction of development. Development site deployment of beer and beverage technology and equipment. 
5 fruits and vegetable processing and preservation, and packaging equipment 
For fruits and vegetables for processing, preservation is an important trend of its development, the urgent need fruits and vegetables grading techniques and equipment, high-efficiency juicing technology and equipment, energy-saving technologies and equipment enrichment, after cleaning and selection of fruits, frozen vegetables and dehydrated vegetables technology and equipment. A significant reduction in the development of fruits and vegetables, grains, meat (fish) eggs and other food ingredients losses processing machinery, packaging equipment, in particular, currently mostly adopt a modified atmosphere, Co60 radiation technology and equipment.
