In recent years, with the development and growth of pharmaceutical industry and consumer’s raising demand for medicines and their quality, more and more types of medicines are appearing on the market. Also innovations are achieved in the cartoning of medicines. For medicine packaging machine, this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for development, especially when all kinds of multi-functional automatic medicine cartoning machine have begun to be accepted and applied by more and more medicine enterprises.
In the mid-1970s
The earliest automatic Cartoner used in China are full-automatic Cartoner imported from Italy in mid-1970s, however, at that time, the quality of package material and the process and manufacture of medicine cartoning cannot meet the standard of Cartoner, so the machine could not work properly. It’s until 1980s, the quality of the medicines package materials and the technology of medicine package manufacture have achieved notable progress that the full-automatic Cartoner begun to be fully applied. Since the 1990s, domestic-manufactured automatic Cartoner began to be used by some enterprises in China and broke the situation that foreign products monopolized the market. In particular, domestic automatic Cartoner have been on the road of development.
Encasing speed rapid development of domestic production
In recent decades, domestic-manufactured Cartoner is developing at a rapid speed, however, the research and development still lag behind the international advanced level. Especially, there are few high-end products. At present, the market share of domestic medicine cartoning machine is only about 30% with the rest market being devoured by the imported products. Many domestic larger-scale medicine manufacturers mainly adopt imported medicine Cartoner The main reason for the phenomenon is that the rather low technical content of domestic-manufactured Cartoner cannot meet pharmaceutical enterprises’ requirement. In the perspective of the whole industry, the reason is that with small scale, low scientific research investment, weak research and development power, this industry has produced products of high repeatability, and most of them are low-end products. This situation will inevitably influence the development of the overall industry. Therefore some enterprises have already realized the importance of technical innovation and product innovation. Besides, some universities and research institutions in China also take part in the development and production of the automatic Cartoner.
We should strengthen bonds of various pharmaceutical enterprises, increase the scientific research investment in this industry, enhance the scientific research capability, and actively introduce foreign mature technical principles, as well as develop advanced forward-looking equipment. In the meantime, through the macro-control policy, the nation should supervise the market, and promote healthy competition. On one aspect, we should based on ourselves work hard to improve ourselves and increase the added value of our product and make it meet more requirements of our clients. On the other aspect, we should strengthen the industrial cooperation, promote good industrial environment construction. Through efforts both internally and externally, we can change market position of domestic-manufactured medicine cartoning machine.
