As people pay more and more attention to food safety issues, baked products featuring "pure handmade, no additives" are becoming more and more popular. Although expensive, they have not been able to resist the enthusiasm of "bakers". Whether enjoying the joy of making desserts at home or opening a personalized baking studio, "delicious and expensive" is redefining people's concept of baking.
When more and more handmade bakery shops appear in shopping malls, when the desserts and biscuits sold in WeChat stores on WeChat Moments become more and more tempting, and when your three-year-old child tells you that the children in kindergarten eat cakes made by their mothers, you may find that desserts are no longer as simple as spending 2 or 3 yuan to buy a pineapple bread for breakfast, buying a two-pound honey cake for 10 yuan at the entrance of the community, or buying a birthday cake at a street cake shop.
Disadvantages of the development of the baking industry
The product structure of baking machinery is unreasonable, small and medium-sized equipment is repeatedly produced at a low level, and supply exceeds demand; the development of large and complete equipment is slow, and a large number of repeated introductions are still needed; some energy-consuming and technologically backward products have not been eliminated in time, and baking food machinery is no exception. The oven has low thermal efficiency and high energy consumption; many manufacturers produce dough mixers, ovens and egg beaters in large quantities, resulting in product backlogs. Low scientific and technological development capabilities. Most of the baking food machinery manufacturing industry is small and medium-sized enterprises with weak scientific and technological development capabilities. In particular, many small manufacturers are accustomed to imitating products, and the design and manufacturing technology are often not up to standard.
How will my country's baking food machinery industry develop?
my country's baking machinery industry is a cross-departmental industry, each department acts independently, forming a fragmented situation, making it difficult to effectively carry out unified national industry management, and macro-control and micro-guidance are ineffective. According to statistics from relevant departments, in 1990, my country's food machinery had not yet formed an industrial system, and there were only 360 companies producing packaging machinery and food machinery. my country's food machinery industry has a short history of development, most companies have low technical levels, lack production and operation experience, pay too much attention to expanding production, and make slow progress in improving production technology. Developed food machinery companies have advanced machinery manufacturing equipment and enterprise management methods, which puts the company's production technology and management level in a leading position.
Future directions for improvement
Developed food machinery industries attach importance to information collection. Generally, companies have institutions that specialize in collecting, sorting and analyzing market information, and provide reliable and well-founded market forecasts and analyses for company decision-making in a timely manner. Small and medium-sized enterprises adopt the method of joining associations or groups to obtain the required information and promote their products. my country's food machinery enterprises are information-blocked, and the necessary information system has not yet been established. The source of information is single; there is a lack of communication between industries, within industries, and between enterprises and scientific research institutions; enterprises do not know much about the situation of domestic peers, and lack understanding of similar foreign products.
Actively apply new technologies in baking equipment manufacturing. The new technologies currently being promoted and applied in food machinery mainly include intelligent technology, nanotechnology, membrane separation technology, cold sterilization technology, extrusion expansion technology, ultrafine grinding technology and supercritical extraction technology. The advantages of nanotechnology and intelligent technology in baking food machinery are particularly prominent.
Nano ceramics have good wear resistance, high strength and strong toughness, so they can be used to make knives, as well as sealing rings and bearings of packaging and food machinery to improve their wear resistance and corrosion resistance. They have strong absorption capacity for infrared rays in a wide wavelength range and can be used as infrared absorbing and wave-transmitting materials. They can be made into functional films or fibers and can be used in infrared drying and infrared sterilization equipment of food machinery. After years of operation and development, the food recruitment baking machinery industry is transitioning from traditional simple models to automated models.
The control component system of intelligent technology has been widely used in the control system of food machinery. Programmable controllers and various new sensors and microcomputer technologies are applied to all aspects of the food machinery production process, especially in some large-scale food processing production lines. Intelligent electronic control components effectively connect the individual machines of food machinery, which not only fully improves the production efficiency, but also further exerts the potential of the machine. At the same time, the computer technology in intelligent technology makes the operation process of food machinery processing simpler and more convenient. The use of computers to control the process and processing degree, and equipped with various parameter metering devices, so that processing, metering and testing can be completed in one machine, can significantly improve the production efficiency of food machinery, improve working conditions, improve product quality, reduce processing costs, and enhance product competitiveness.
Development needs to be more comprehensive
my country's baking food machinery must work hard on technological research, the government must pay attention, companies must be willing to spend money, and teams must be organized to tackle key links in order to improve international competitiveness, increase exports, and expand domestic demand.
In addition, there are many kinds of baked goods besides bread, cakes and moon cakes, and many baked goods do not have dedicated production equipment. Therefore, baking machinery enterprises should adjust their product structure, strive to improve product quality and technical level; focus on the completeness of design, production and supply to enhance the competitiveness of products in the domestic and international markets. There are many Japanese food machinery manufacturers, but there are almost no manufacturers producing the same equipment. Each manufacturer's products have their own characteristics and advantages, and most Japanese manufacturers have a certain mutual interest relationship, and each owns a small part of each other's 5%-10% shares, which not only avoids vicious competition, but also promotes each other to improve production quality and management level. Food machinery manufacturers should strengthen quality management and establish a quality awareness management mechanism.
At present, the manufacturing of baking food machinery in my country is mostly concentrated on the equipment for baking food production. There is less development of equipment for raw materials, semi-finished products, and product inspection and evaluation, such as gluten testers, farinographs, extensometers, fermentation instruments, infrared analyzers, and texture analyzers, which mainly rely on imports. The baking food machinery market is vast and has great potential. We must make efforts in many aspects to catch up with the world's advanced level.
