Development of confectionery industry for complete chocolate equipment

In the traditional Chinese wedding customs, wedding candy has become an indispensable part of the new people's gift, survey data show that in the Jiangnan area, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Anhui led by several provinces and cities, there will be more than 8 million couples into the marriage hall every year, according to the average purchase of 2,000 yuan of wedding candy for each couple. The sugar market alone has a market share of nearly 16 billion yuan per year. At present, the development of China's confectionery industry is increasingly hungry for scientific and technological innovation, but the development level of domestic confectionery equipment manufacturing industry can not keep up with the demand for new product development of confectionery manufacturers, equipment manufacturers need to have a big breakthrough, big innovation courage and courage to support the development of the confectionery industry.

Huge market capacity

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, consumers' requirements for sugar are also increasing, and they pay more attention to the intrinsic value of products. In this context, many manufacturers have begun to consider new business models while paying attention to the mainstream channels of sugar, and have set their sights on Xipu.

Zuo Delin, a senior expert in the candy industry, believes that with the rapid development of the candy industry, the capacity of the sugar market is also increasing year by year, and the difference between consumers in other provinces is that consumers in Jiangnan are more inclined to buy gift box products than candy weighed in bulk by the weight of the weight. A gift box package 6-8 candy, milk candy, chocolate, hard candy, soft candy, etc., in their view only beautifully packaged products can be enough to express their happy mood. Due to the good living conditions in recent years, people's quality requirements for candy have naturally improved, at this time, brand products with quality safety and guaranteed quality have begun to sell hot in the market.

High-end numerical control technology is the future direction of candy equipment development

At present, the development of China's confectionery industry is increasingly hungry for scientific and technological innovation, but the development level of domestic confectionery equipment manufacturing industry can not keep up with the demand for new product development of confectionery manufacturers, equipment manufacturers need to have a big breakthrough, big innovation courage and courage to support the development of the confectionery industry. The application of high-end CNC technology in complete sets of candy production equipment will be the mainstream direction of the development of candy equipment in the future.

High-end numerical control technology will first be widely used in pouring equipment, chocolate equipment has taken the lead in realizing the application of this technology. Before discussing the second generation of pouring equipment with numerical control as the core technology, it is necessary to take a look at the development process of the first generation of candy pouring equipment: China's first generation of pouring production line has been born for more than ten years, to promote China's pouring candy ten years of vigorous development played an important role, when the equipment only four rows of lines, because the equipment is large, expensive, many small factories can not afford to buy, later the set of equipment was miniaturized, launched two rows and three rows of lines, gradually by many domestic candy manufacturers widely used. Now, the functional limitations of the first generation pouring equipment have become more and more unable to meet the requirements of the confectionery industry for diversity and high-end development, although some equipment manufacturers are trying to constantly improve, but it is difficult to have a big breakthrough.

The outstanding feature of the second generation CNC casting production equipment is that the pouring mouth will dance. It promotes the pouring nozzle from a point to a three-dimensional space that can be moved arbitrarily by high-end numerical control, so that the equipment has extraordinary functions and broad application space: First, there is a very large improvement in the sandwich technology, which can accurately realize the positioning and quantitative control of the sandwich, and the maximum amount of the sandwich can reach 70%. The skin material on the surface of the filled chocolate and the inner core material are very uniform, and there will be no blasting or leakage during pouring, and the two kinds of materials with little difference in concentration can be combined and filled accurately with high quality. The second is to be able to write and spiral, which allows users to write and draw text, pattern, Logo, etc. directly on the surface of chocolate, and produce monochrome, two-color plane spiral or three-dimensional spiral pattern; The third is to replace manual, to achieve multi-color fine mounting and pouring.

The emergence of domestic fine mounting and pouring equipment has greatly reduced the industry threshold and development barriers, and solved many problems such as manual mounting personnel, waste, large area, low efficiency, quality and health control difficulties, etc. Its arbitrary moving pouring mouth, accurate positioning and quantification, can produce extremely rich multi-color decorating candy through the series pouring of one or several pouring machines. Chocolate machine

In Europe and the United States, such equipment has developed more mature, the technology represents the mainstream trend of future industry development. The reason why foreign countries have controlled CNC casting technology for so many years is that the key technology on the equipment - hydraulic servo control system, China has been unable to break through, so despite the development of foreign countries for so many years, some large domestic manufacturers have also imported some equipment. However, the price is very expensive (only the casting head, excluding the tunnel equipment price is very large Switzerland is 2 million yuan, the lowest Italy is 1.2 million yuan), so the market has been too high and few, can not be widely used and promoted.
