　　 Food and packaging machinery industry as the food industry to provide equipment industry, formed in the late nineteen seventies and early 80's, after 80years of rapid development, the high speed of 90 time growth, through introducing, digest the lessons, domestic production, at present already entered structural adjustment, product quality upgrading, improve the innovation ability of critical period.
　　Automatic packaging machine is generally divided into semi automatic packing machines and automatic machine two.
　　By the artificial supply packaging materials ( container ) and fillings, but can automatically accomplish other packaging machine called semi-automatic packaging machine; automatic complete packing process and other ancillary packaging machine, called the full automatic packaging machine.
Come nearly 5 years of food packaging machinery industry by 11%~12% a year average growth rate of development, in 2005 the food and packaging machinery industry total production value of nearly 40000000000 yuan, already became machinery industry system the 14 major industries, primarily to meet our country's need of food industry.

　　At present our country existing packaging equipment manufacturers of more than 5000, with an annual output of about 200000 sets, more than 3700 varieties of products, in addition to meet the domestic needs, there is a certain amount of export. The 2002 national food and packaging machinery import and export amount 2140000000 dollar, import 1540000000 dollar among them, exports 600000000 U.S. dollars, is still higher than the export import.

　　Food packaging machinery with the main problems:
　　The difference with foreign product in. The food packaging machinery in our country in recent years has made great achievements, but compared with foreign products still has20 years of technology gap. More than stand-alone, complete sets of small; host, auxiliary equipment; low technology content of products, high technology, high added value, high productivity of the product is little; GM models, special requirements, special materials processing models less.
