Domestic and international beverage filling production line status

In recent years, the beverage industry has developed rapidly, and varieties such as carbonated beverages, fruit juice beverages, vegetable juice beverages, milk-containing beverages, bottled drinking water, and tea beverages have been continuously enriched, and the “floating red” in production has made the demand for the equipment market a “bull market”. .
The foreign filling and sealing equipment has developed towards high-speed, multi-purpose and high-precision development of high-speed world filling machines. Currently, some filling production lines are available in glass bottles and plastic containers (polyester bottles), carbonated drinks and non-carbonated drinks, and heat. Different requirements and environments such as filling and cold filling. At present, the filling speed of carbonated beverage filling machines has reached a maximum of 2,000 cans per minute. The number of filling valves of German H&K filling machines is 165, 144 of SEN, 178 of Krones, and the filling machine is up to 5 meters in diameter. Filling accuracy is less than ±0.5ml.
Non-carbonated beverage filling machine filling valve 50 ~ 100, filling speed up to 1500 cans / min, filling machine feed trough speed 20 ~ 25 rev / min, the speed increased by 1 times. It can be used for the hot filling of various beverages such as tea beverages, coffee beverages, soy milk and fruit juice beverages, and no secondary sterilization is required after the closure of foreign hot-filled beverages.
Carbonated beverages have been brewed for more than 20 years at room temperature. Normal temperature carbonation can reduce the cost of beverages and is environmentally friendly. Non-carbonated beverage nitrogen filling system uses pressurized method or liquid nitrogen drip method to inject liquid nitrogen inert gas into aluminum cans or PET bottles, which can protect the contents and reduce the loss of nutrients.
At present, PET bottled tea beverages are usually hot-filled. To reduce the filling temperature, improve the flavor of tea beverages, and ensure product hygiene and safety, PET resin molding has been developed to use simple sterilization at 130°C steam sterilization and special filling head filling. The packaging machine is also developing aseptic packaging technology for two thin-walled cans of low-acid beverages, such as ice coffee, to achieve aseptic packaging of thin-walled cans.
All-round development of domestic filling production lines China's beverage filling equipment is basically based on the introduction of equipment and technology. In the 1980s, more than 300 beverage filling lines were introduced, including more than 500 beer filling lines. . The introduction of filling production lines is mainly divided into the following categories:
The glass bottle beverage filling line introduced 116 glass bottle beverage filling lines in the 1980s, mainly used for carbonated drinks, of which more than 80 were imported from Eastern European countries by bookkeeping trade, including 35 in Romania and 30 in West Germany. Poland, Czech Republic 8. The bottling lines introduced in foreign exchange include 23 West Germany, 3 Japan, 6 U.S., and 1 Italian. The main equipments of the production line include box unloader, bottle washing machine, filling machine, capping machine, labeling machine, inkjet printer, air-water mixer and case packing machine. The on-line testing equipment includes a vacuum detector, a liquid surface detector, and a filling capacity of 150, 200, 300 to 400 bottles/min.

In 1984, Guangdong Light Machine Factory introduced the German SEN company and the H&K company's beer bottling line manufacturing technology to manufacture bottled beer bottling lines of 20,000 bottles per hour. The Nanjing light machine factory and the Hefei light machine factory use Mitsubishi Heavy Industries technology to manufacture each Hours 18,000 bottles/minute soda filling line. Others are the Chongqing light machine factory (mirror Mitsubishi heavy 32/8 equipment, 14000 bottles / min) and the Langfang Packaging Equipment Manufacturing Corporation (Map Germany SEN company 24/6 equipment, 6000 ~ 8000 bottles / hour) of the filling line.
During the "Eighth Five-Year Plan" of the can filling line for cans, China imported 15 cans of beverage filling lines for cans and at the same time introduced 14 cans of beer filling lines for cans. Mainly the equipments of Germany SEN and Meyer Inc., including unloader, tank washer, filling machine, can sealing machine, thermostat machine, palletizer, and other mixers, inkjet printers, and film shrinking machines. , liquid level detector and so on. Filling capacity is 150, 300, 400, 500 cans/min and up to 575 cans/min. At present, Guangdong Light Engine Factory, Nanjing Light Engine Factory, and Hefei Light Machine Factory all have their own can filling lines.
The polyester bottle filling production line has introduced 6 to 7 PET bottle beverage filling lines, including box-stripping machines, carton-unloading machines, bottle-washing machines, filling machines, capping machines, warm bottle machines, packing machines, etc. . The filling capacity is 400-500 bottles/minute for 250 ml bottles and 50-280 bottles/minute for 1250 ml bottles. Major equipment manufacturers Meyer USA and Germany SEN company. Hefei light machine factory uses German Krones company technology to manufacture PET bottle beverage filling line. At present, Hefei light machine factory and Nanjing light machine factory can both manufacture glass bottle and PET bottle dual-purpose beverage filling line.
Soft Packaging Beverage Filling Lines Our country has introduced flexible packaging beverage filling lines from Sweden, the United States, Germany, France and other countries, mainly including: Sweden's Tetra Pak aseptic packaging machines introduced more than 40 during the “Eighth Five Year Plan”, and now there are more than 160 in the country. Article, while Tetra Pak has a composite board manufacturing line in Beijing, Guangdong, Foshan, Guangdong, and Kunshan, Jiangsu. The current capacity of the various Leroy cartons, AB-type maximum filling capacity of 7500 boxes / hour. U.S. roof carton aseptic packaging machine, filling capacity 4500 pcs/h; French bag, filling capacity 80 bags/min; stand bag beverage filling machine, Germany BOSCH, Japan Toyo, Japan printing and other manufacturing; Germany Zupack carton forming - filling - sealing beverage hot filling line; Germany PKL, using pre-formed carton, including open box, filling, sealing. Filling capacity 6300 boxes/hour. The first three are aseptic filling, the latter three are hot filling, and after filling and sealing, they are cooled with spraying cold water. The German zupack horizontal composite carton forming hot filling machine has been established by Hefei General Machinery and Nanjing No.2. The commercial machinery factory was successfully developed and mass produced. After the introduction and digestion and absorption of carbonated beverage filling lines, the level of China's beverage equipment has been greatly improved. In particular, the filling production line of 150 bottles (cans) per minute or more can basically be supplied in packages. Currently, Nanjing Light Industry Machinery Plant, Hefei Light Industry Machinery Factory and Guangdong Light Industry Machinery Factory have been able to provide glass bottles with a production capacity of up to 600 bottles/minute and 600 cans/minute cans of beverages or beer bottling lines. The main equipment includes semi-automatic destackers and cans (washing machines). Bottle machine), filling machine, can sealing machine (capping machine, capping machine), thermostat machine (warm bottle machine), mixer, carton packing machine and sterilizing machine, filling capacity are as follows: filling machine / sealing Number of cans: 18/430/640/660/8 Filling speed (cans or bottles/minutes) The PET bottle filling production line is basically the same as the glass bottle filling machine. After adjustment, it can be used for both machine and irrigation. The loading capacity is 24000 bottles/hour for 250ml bottles and 720 bottles/hour for 1250ml bottles.
The level of small and medium-sized beverage filling production lines is not high, and the complete sets of capacity are poor. There are many manufacturing factories, mainly including filling equipment manufacturers in Zhangjiagang, Jingjiang, Shanghai, Fengxian, Huqiao, Haimen, Shenyang, Henan Xinxiang and Beijing. Some only provide bottle washing (washing), filling gland (sealing) equipment. Langfang Packaging Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. forms a group company with water treatment, refrigeration, saccharification, ingredients, and piping system manufacturers to supply complete sets of beverage filling equipment.
Bottled drinking water production lines mainly include flushing, filling and sealing, as well as water treatment and disinfection equipment. Shandong Anqiu light machine factory, Langfang packaging equipment manufacturing company, and Zhangjiagang Meixing can supply complete sets.
The small and medium-sized non-inflatable beverage filling lines for fruit juice beverage filling lines include glass bottle filling production lines and can-open can filling production lines with a production capacity of 40 to 200 bottles (cans)/minute. The filling tea machine with low filling speed is the product of Baoli Packaging Factory. In recent years, the filling machines with piston-type dosing have Mingrui, Lehui and Huangyan Feiyun Machinery Plant. Anqiu Light Machine Factory is a fixed-point factory of non-inflatable beverage filling machines of the former Ministry of Light Industry. It has high processing precision, but mainly produces glass bottle capping type glass bottle filling equipment.
The can manufacturing line of cans filling production line covers factories in Wenzhou, Hangzhou, Shantou, etc., with a production capacity of 4,000 to 12,000 cans per minute. It mainly provides equipment for can washing, filling and sealing, and has poor ability to complete sets.
Concentrated fruit juice equipment In addition to the imported concentrated fruit juice production line, China has basically been able to produce juice concentrate equipment. The first domestic juice production line was born at the end of 1994. The use plant was the Shandong Plain Baoyuan Fruit & Drink Co., Ltd. The main equipment at that time was a horizontal screw decanter centrifuge and a falling film tube type three-effect evaporator. The traditional method was used to produce juice concentrates. . In addition to falling film evaporators, there are plate evaporators from Lanzhou Petrochemical Equipment Engineering Corporation. At present, 606 companies have been able to provide concentrated fruit juice equipment. The ultrafiltration device for juice clarification currently depends on imports. It is believed that in the near future, there will be domestically-manufactured juice ultrafiltration equipment with a high degree of automation.
