The freeze-drying technology emerging in the market can greatly maintain the material activity and nutrition, and can achieve the function of super long fresh-keeping while better maintaining the original physical properties and flavor of the product. The quality of freeze-dried food is superior to other drying technology products, which can meet the demand of consumers for seasonal products throughout the year. With the development of freeze-drying technology, besides fruit snacks, freeze-drying instant foods of brewing type are also emerging in the market. Relevant data show that fruits account for about 40% of all kinds of freeze-dried foods; Vegetables and convenient food account for about 20% respectively; There is also a large market demand for meat, aquatic products, soup and beverage, and pets. “At present, the freeze-dried food market in China is far from saturated.” Experts predict that by 2025, the output of freeze-dried food in China will reach more than 150000 tons and the market scale will reach more than 22 billion yuan.

In fact, the rapid development of freeze-dried food industry is closely related to the prevalence of residential economy. The young generation of consumers have an increasingly strong demand for fast and convenient food. Freeze dried food can be eaten immediately, meeting the young people’s dual requirements for convenience and nutrition. For young consumers, freeze-dried fast food is more convenient and fast than frozen food that needs to be cooked generally. Hot water brewing can restore a bowl of delicious food. It also saves time for cleaning dishes, which perfectly matches the living habits of young people today.

At the moment when such new products are so popular, Hengli Packaging has helped relevant customers to complete the automatic packaging of brewed freeze-dried wonton, seize the market opportunity and greatly improve the market competitiveness of relevant products.

• Vigorous market demand

As mentioned above, the convenience, comprehensiveness and storage suitability of freeze-dried food are very close to the lifestyle of the post-90s, the mainstream consumer group in the current consumer market. In addition, in the context of frequent outbreaks, “hoarding” seems to have become a necessary measure for most consumers to deal with the epidemic, which further increases the demand for freeze-dried food. The growth of demand is corresponding to the improvement of the speed of production links. If manual packaging is still implemented, it is completely unable to meet the demand of tens of thousands of orders. Therefore, it is a wise move for freeze-dried food enterprises to choose intelligent automatic packaging to conform to the trend of market development.

• Mature automatic packaging technology for freeze-dried food

In fact, not only is the freeze-drying technology becoming mature, but also the automatic intelligent equipment for packaging freeze-drying food is showing a new look. Stainless steel materials that meet the food safety standards, free circulation, accurate counting and identification, and flexible and gentle packaging are no longer a problem. For food, too much manual participation will increase the safety risk. Spending money on a set of equipment to offset the large cost of hiring labor can also solve the problem of packaging efficiency, killing two birds with one stone.

According to the practical experience of Hengli Packaging, the texture of freeze-dried food is mostly very thin and crisp, and it is possible to damage the product shape by manual picking. For automatic equipment, this is a major difficulty to overcome. In addition, take the instant boiled wonton as an example. The shape is not regular, and it takes a lot of effort to achieve accurate photoelectric eye recognition and counting. After repeated debugging and testing of Hengli Packaging, it runs smoothly from material handling, counting to subpackaging, and the damage rate is also controlled within the qualified line, so that “everything can be counted and everything can be loaded.

• Fully automatic and intelligent, only one person can complete the operation
• For irregular materials, it can also achieve fast and accurate counting
• Easily form a complete production line with other equipment to achieve continuous and stable output
• Compact shape, saving more space
