Talking about the development and application analysis of cartoning machine in ice cream industry
1. Basic overview of the industry
Ice cream is made of drinking water, milk, milk powder, cream (or vegetable oil), sugar, etc. as the main raw materials, adding appropriate amount of food additives, and is made by mixing, sterilizing, homogenizing, aging, freezing, hardening and other processes. frozen food.

2. Analysis of consumer preference characteristics
At present, with the growth of people's incomes and the endless variety of ice cream flavors on the market, which continue to attract consumers' attention and taste buds, consumers' love for ice cream has always been high, and the seasonal attributes have gradually weakened, and the number of consumers continues to increase. . Relevant surveys show that 98.9% of consumers in my country currently like to eat ice cream. Among them, women are the main force in ice cream consumption, accounting for 62.8%, and men account for 37.2%.
Judging from the age of consumers, my country's ice cream consumers are mainly young and middle-aged people, accounting for more than 80%. Relevant surveys show that among ice cream consumers in 2022, those aged 30-39 will account for the largest proportion, reaching 42.7%; followed by those aged 18-29, accounting for 40.2%.
Ice cream is so popular in our country, so it is undoubtedly a business opportunity for us as a cartoning machine supplier, but also a challenge. There is a very broad market for business opportunities in this industry. The challenge is that ice cream suppliers will also have higher and higher requirements for cartoning machines.
3. Application of cartoning machine in ice cream industry
With the improvement of people's health awareness, the packaging requirements for ice cream are getting higher and higher. The ice cream will first be packaged with food-grade packaging film using a pillow packaging machine, and then transported to the cartoning machine using a conveyor belt for cartoning. More and more ice cream will also use automatic spray glue to seal the carton, in order to better protect people's health.
The cartoning machine can realize linkage production with automatic pillow packaging machine, automatic box packing machine, automatic inkjet printer, automatic weighing machine, automatic X-ray inspection machine and other equipment. In order to better detect the entire testing process of ice cream during the packaging process, traceability online testing can be implemented, and three-level supervision code supervision can be implemented to detect different packaging processes such as ice cream bags, cartoning, and case packing.
4. The development of cartoning machines in the ice cream industry
As ice cream manufacturers have changed from the vulgar cartoning machines they originally used to the high-speed cartoning machines they are now pursuing, it illustrates the change in ice cream cartoning machines from low-end cartoning machines to high-end cartoning machines. Our company not only has entry-level ice cream cartoning machines, but also high-end cartoning machines for continuous production to meet the needs of different friends.
Therefore, the development prospects of cartoning machines in the ice cream industry are very bright, and life will be better and better in the future.
