Development direction and equipment research and development of high-quality puffed snacks

From childhood to adulthood, all kinds of snacks have always been an indispensable part of our daily life. At present, with the "main force" of consumption after the 1990s and 1900s, the leisure snack industry has also undergone tremendous changes, and the scale of the industry has continued to expand. The snack industry, which is considered to be junk food, has gradually improved its quality with the help of automatic processing equipment, packaging equipment and other equipment.

According to data released by a research institute, from 2012 to 2019, the domestic snack market increased from more than 300 billion won to more than 570 billion won, with an average annual compound growth rate of more than 6%. It is expected that the market size will exceed 600 billion in 2020. won. For consumers, food quality and food safety have always been the factors that consumers pay attention to when buying snacks, and are the key to determining whether snack brands can continue to develop in the market competition.

Today, the quality of snack products has been greatly improved compared with previous years, which is closely related to the research and development and application of automatic production and packaging equipment. After years of development, my country's food processing equipment manufacturing industry has achieved great development, and there are many equipment suitable for food production, including various cleaning, transportation, line dividing, crushing, separation, mixing, concentration, uniformity, sterilization, Drying, molding, baking, freezer preservation and other machines.

The application of automated processing equipment can reduce manual participation to a certain extent, naturally reduce food safety risks caused by manual labor, and use automatic management systems to manage food production lines. In the production process, the supervision ability can be greatly improved and the instability in the production process can be reduced. In recent years, snack manufacturers have continuously upgraded product quality while increasing investment in automated production lines and expanding production capacity.

For example, a domestic snack manufacturer invested 500 million won in an intelligent manufacturing project to set up a bakery intelligent manufacturing center this year. It has a 70,000-level clean factory and 15 domestic advanced intelligent production lines. It precisely controls each production process and reduces food consumption. Contact with people saves 70% of manpower. It is expected that the company's smart manufacturing production lines will expand to dozens in the future.

In addition, packaging equipment is also the key to improving food quality. Packaging equipment is a device that can complete the process (including charging, packaging, sealing, etc.), automatic packaging equipment can package food according to the required form and size, and food packaging can meet the requirements of standardization and standardization. In addition, some packaging forms such as vacuum packaging, expansion packaging, and sticker packaging cannot be achieved by manual packaging.

It can be seen that there are various packaging forms on the market at present, and the types of packaging equipment are naturally very rich. According to the different packaging processes, it can be divided into keynote packaging machine, vacuum packaging machine, nitrogen packaging machine, sticker packaging machine, stamp film packaging machine, etc. At present, the competition of food packaging machines in my country is becoming increasingly fierce. In the future, food packaging machines will cooperate with industrial automation to promote the improvement of the overall level of packaging equipment, and develop multi-functional, efficient and low-consumption food packaging equipment. With the development of modern society, people's concept of food that day is not only what food to eat, but also more healthy or leisure. High quality has become one of the mainstream directions of the development of the snack food industry. Then enterprises should complete the automation and intelligent upgrade of production lines as soon as possible to realize automatic production and ensure food safety. It is also necessary to choose high-quality packaging equipment, and use high-quality packaging to ensure the quality of food.
