The only approved stainless steel material for US food safety standards
The material used for stainless steel cutlery is roughly divided into three grades: 304 (18-8), 430 (18-0), and 201 (18-3). The number in front of the code indicates the amount of chromium, the latter number represents the nickel content, chromium is the material that makes the product less prone to rust, and nickel is a corrosion-resistant material. For example, "18-0" contains 18% chromium and contains no nickel.

304 stainless steel cutlery has good corrosion resistance, heat resistance, low temperature strength and mechanical properties, and is suitable for processing, storage and transportation of food. It is also a nationally certified food grade stainless steel with significantly better corrosion resistance, acid and alkali resistance and product toughness than 201 and 430 stainless steel.
Global food packaging machinery industry is optimistic about the Chinese market
First, internationally renowned food packaging machinery manufacturers continue to promote advanced products to China, coupled with the continuous innovation and development of domestic packaging machinery enterprises, the products launched are more and more advanced in technology, complete in categories, and cheap, which is to expand the industry. The Chinese market has laid a material foundation.
Second, the Chinese government has placed food safety at an unprecedentedly important position and has strong control through government actions, legal measures, market access, etc., which inevitably leads food production and processing enterprises to significantly improve equipment quality by ensuring product quality. To achieve the standard; more intense market competition will inevitably lead to continuous innovation in product development and product packaging. In the historical period of the transformation and upgrading of China's food production and processing enterprises, the huge business opportunities of the food packaging machinery industry are self-evident.
Third, China has already determined its urbanization development strategy for 20 years. As China's urban population increases, the traditional food supply chain will be broken. Retail formats such as supermarkets and chain stores will inevitably replace the fragmented retail method; food packaging will be more standardized. Standardized, bulk foods in the farmer's market will gradually be replaced by pre-packaged foods; these need the support of developed food packaging machinery and equipment technology, which will bring continuous and huge development opportunities for the food charter industry.
Fourth, as the national income, especially the wages of industrial workers, continues to grow, China's labor costs will continue to increase; the rise in labor costs will inevitably force food manufacturers to use more automated equipment to reduce human resource costs. Bringing room for development in the food packaging machinery industry.
How can domestic packaging machinery go out of the country and go to the world?
At present, China's packaging machinery is in a process of rapid development. As a free and open market, the door of the United States has always been open to Chinese pharmaceutical packaging companies. The capabilities of pharmaceutical machinery and equipment are only constantly updated and improved. The ability to develop, go out of China, go to the world, the question is, in what way does the packaging machinery enterprise go abroad to be truly successful?!
Whether China's packaging machinery can open the US market is related to the technical level of China's packaging machinery, and on the other hand to the shape of the US packaging machinery market.
It is understood that the current "polarization" phenomenon of pharmaceutical packaging machinery manufacturers in the United States is obvious. In order to test electronic products, the coding device is representative of the compact development of the United States; with the heat shrink packaging machine, the packaging machine seals the packaging machine to occupy a considerable proportion of the machine; large packaging machinery production line filling machine, labeling machine, Capping machine, the United States has basically no production, almost all imported equipment market, especially in Germany, the equipment of Italian manufacturers.
China's pharmaceutical packaging machinery manufacturing level and industrial design level through imitation, the introduction of technology and capital and the rapid development of global procurement. Today, packaging machinery manufacturing companies, China is easy to global procurement of key components, improve the technical level of equipment reliability.
If the automatic packaging machine, labeling machine, sealing machine and robot equipment, pharmaceutical machinery in China manufacture different German, Italian, Japanese products, so in some low-tech products, many packaging machinery is currently produced in China, must meet market demand The United States, and most likely to make breakthroughs in the short term.
