In the food industry, bottled and canned products have always been the main packaging forms for fluids and semi-fluids. However, in the past two years, consumers have paid more and more attention to the portability of packaging, and the packaging of fluid foods has gradually developed towards flexibility, and stand-up pouches have become a more popular form of flexible packaging. With the expansion of market demand, the market potential of stand-up pouches is considerable, which will also drive the development of stand-up pouch filling and capping packaging machines.

In the food industry, stand-up pouch packaging is a relatively new form of packaging. Compared with glass bottles and aluminum cans, stand-up pouches have the advantages of soft material, convenient carrying, and convenient use while remaining standing. In addition, the self-supporting bag made of PET, foil, PET or PE material structure laminated also has a higher cost advantage.

Nowadays, the application range of stand-up pouch packaging in the food field is increasing. Stand-up pouches can be seen in the juice, beverage, drinking water, jelly, condiment and other industries. According to personnel from a packaging consulting company, in recent years, more than billions of self-supporting bags have entered the food packaging market, and its growth rate has remained at around 7%. It is foreseeable that, driven by market demand and cost advantages, the market scale of self-supporting pouch packaging will continue to grow in the next few years.

At the same time, the manufacturing industry of stand-up pouch filling and capping packaging machines suitable for stand-up pouch packaging will also welcome the market. The food stand-up pouches on the market generally have a suction nozzle, which is convenient for users to pour or suck, and the design of the cover suction nozzle also enables the packaging to be closed and opened repeatedly, making storage more convenient. In order to meet the requirements of use, self-supporting pouch filling and capping packaging equipment usually has functions such as automatic bag transport, vacuuming, automatic positioning and filling, automatic cap sorting, capping, capping, and automatic bag withdrawal.

With the development of automation technology, most of the stand-up pouch filling and capping packaging equipment adopts a combination of pneumatic mechanical transmission and electric control, which realizes automatic control and high production efficiency. The automatic capping device of some equipment also has an automatic sliding function, which makes the tightness of capping easier to control. Stand-up pouch filling and capping packaging machine is a market segment of the packaging equipment industry, and the development of its industry will also affect the development of the overall packaging equipment market.

In order to promote the standardization and sustainable development of the stand-up pouch filling and capping packaging equipment industry, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology approved and issued the mechanical industry standard for the "Stand-up pouch filling and capping packaging machine" several years ago. This standard clarifies the definition, model, and basic parameters of the stand-up pouch filling and capping packaging machine, and puts forward requirements for the convenience of equipment inspection methods, packaging, and transportation. However, in addition to the constraints of industry standards, equipment manufacturers must also accelerate the development and implementation of new technologies to enhance the market competitiveness of equipment.

Companies can equip the equipment with air purification systems, lid cleaning systems, packaging cleaning systems, etc., so that the equipment can be packaged in an aseptic environment, so that the equipment has a high and stable filling speed and an aseptic filling function. Production enterprises bring high-quality production. In addition, allowing the equipment to be connected to the CIP cleaning system is also one of the development trends of the stand-up pouch filling and capping packaging machine, which can bring better cleaning effects to the equipment, increase the cleaning speed, and further optimize the production quality.

Nowadays, with its huge advantages, self-supporting pouch packaging is constantly replacing some glass bottles and can packaging, and the industry has a huge room for growth. Stand-up pouch filling and capping packaging machine is the technical support of stand-up pouch packaging, and its industry is also under continuous development. With the improvement of industry standards and the increase in market demand, the "walls" of market competition are gradually increasing. Enterprises within the industry also need to improve their R&D capabilities, make up for equipment shortcomings, and manufacture high-precision and high-efficiency packaging equipment to achieve market share expansion.
