1️⃣ Equipment Stability & Reliability (Top Priority)   "Will the machine run stably for years?" Their biggest concerns aren't high price, but rather: Frequent downtime Inconsistent accuracy After-sales service issues. Key concerns include: Suitability for 24/7 continuous production Lifespan of key components Mature case studies (especially in developed countries)   2️⃣ Actual Capacity & Efficiency Overseas clients repeatedly confirm: Actual speed (not theoretical value) How many packs per minute? Does it affect weighing accuracy?   3️⃣ Food Safety & Certification (Especially in Europe and America) Frequently asked: Does it comply with CE/FDA/GMP/ISO? Are the materials in contact with the machine food-grade? Is it easy to clean (Hygienic design)?  

As a company deeply rooted in the packaging machinery industry, we understand the impact of equipment wear and tear on our customers' production. In previous articles, we've discussed the factors affecting the lifespan of packaging machines and various maintenance methods. Today, we'll systematically outline the types of materials that easily cause equipment corrosion, along with corresponding scientific maintenance strategies, hoping to help you reduce equipment wear and tear and ensure stable production efficiency.     01. Which Materials Easily Damage Equipment? In the food industry, common materials like vinegar and brine, as well as in the chemical industry, sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide solutions, are all acidic or alkaline substances with strong chemical properties. Once they come into contact with the metal parts of equipment, they easily react, causing oxidation and thinning of the surface, and in severe cases, even perforation. Seafood, pickled vegetables, and fresh fruits and vegetables, which contain salt and moisture, form electrolyte solutions when salt and water combine, greatly accelerating the electrochemical corrosion of stainless steel and cast iron components. Furthermore, organic solvents such as alcohol, ink, and paint cannot be ignored. They can dissolve rubber seals and plastic parts on the equipment, initially causing seal failure, and over time indirectly leading to corrosion of metal parts.   02. How to Maintain Equipment? To address the above risks, maintenance should focus on the following two aspects: Daily Maintenance: After operation, thoroughly wipe clean any areas that have come into contact with materials using a neutral detergent with a pH of 7-9 to remove any residual acids, alkalis, salts, or organic solvents. Regular maintenance involves weekly inspections of easily corroded parts such as the hopper, conveying pipes, and seals. If rust spots or signs of aging are found, treat them promptly with rust remover, followed by application of food-grade rust-preventive oil. Additionally, seals should be replaced quarterly to prevent material from seeping into the equipment and causing more serious malfunctions.   03. Other Maintenance Methods Of course, the most important is source control. If your material is corrosive, be sure to clearly inform the salesperson during the initial communication phase so that we can select more corrosion-resistant materials during the equipment design stage, such as 316L stainless steel or special alloys, and optimize the structural sealing scheme accordingly, reducing the risk of corrosion from the source. Furthermore, as we mentioned before: never buy used equipment indiscriminately. The material and usage history of used equipment are often unknown, and there may be hidden corrosion damage, structural fatigue, and material incompatibility with the machine. Putting it into use could lead to downtime or even safety accidents. In addition, environmental control is crucial. Production workshops must be kept well-ventilated and dry, with relative humidity controlled below 60%. Dehumidifiers or ventilation equipment should be installed when necessary to prevent equipment from being exposed to humid, high-temperature environments for extended periods, thus reducing the accelerating effect of environmental factors on corrosion. As a company specializing in packaging machinery, Longchuang always prioritizes the user experience of its customers. Regardless of the materials your production involves, we can provide customized material selection advice based on material characteristics and assist you in establishing standardized maintenance procedures.

This is precisely an excellent opportunity for strategic procurement, provided that your decisions adhere to a strict rule—investments must precisely address the most pressing current issues and deliver quantifiable returns in the short term. Please do not view it from a "yes or no" perspective, but rather consider "why now" and "how to operate safely." Core logic: Economic downturn is a window of opportunity for negotiation and upgrading You can view the current market environment as a buyer's market: Better Pricing and Terms: Equipment manufacturers, including ourselves, are facing increased competition and order pressure. You have the opportunity to secure deals at lower prices than usual, along with extended payment terms, more favorable financing options, or additional services. Shorter lead times: With supply chain bottlenecks alleviated, you can obtain and deploy equipment more quickly, reducing the investment cycle. Prepare for Recovery: When the economy rebounds and orders suddenly surge, your production capacity and efficiency are already ready to seize market opportunities instantly, while your competitors may still be hesitant. You are not purchasing for "today," but investing in the "tomorrow" recovery. The key to decision-making lies in whether your investment is "anti-fragile." A sound procurement decision should make your business more resilient, not more vulnerable, during economic downturns. Here is your decision checklist: You should take immediate action if any of the following conditions apply (one or more): Your customers are squeezing prices: You need to reduce unit costs through automation to maintain profit margins. You are facing severe "labor shortages" or excessively high labor costs: intelligent equipment can replace repetitive tasks, ensure stable quality, and reduce reliance on human labor. Your packaging material waste is severe: smart devices (such as visual positioning and precision cutting) can optimize material usage, directly saving substantial consumable costs. Your production line lacks flexibility: the current equipment takes too long to switch between products, while orders for small batches and multiple varieties are increasing. Intelligent equipment can switch quickly and adapt to market changes. A key client has raised new requirements: for instance, the need to add a "one product, one code" traceability feature to the product, which must be implemented through smart devices. You should suspend investment if any of the following conditions exist: Your cash flow is tight: equipment procurement can severely impact the daily operational safety of the business. Your return on investment (ROI) cycle exceeds 24 months: In times of high economic uncertainty, the ROI cycle must be shorter and more defined. Your question is unclear: You simply feel "it should be upgraded," but lack clear data (such as defect rates, labor cost percentages, or switching time) to support the decision. "Safe Landing" Procurement Strategy for You: Start from the "pain points," not from "technology": Don't ask "What is the most advanced equipment?" but instead ask "Where is my biggest cost waste? Which step is dragging down overall efficiency?" Then procure the most cost-effective solution that addresses this specific issue. Pursue modularity and flexibility: Avoid procuring large, dedicated production lines. Prioritize modular solutions that can be implemented in phases and easily reconfigured. For instance, upgrading the labeling and palletizing stages first yields more tangible returns on investment. Request a detailed, fact-based ROI analysis: Work with your team or vendor to calculate the specific savings per month/quarter (labor, materials, energy consumption, reduced returns, etc.). This serves as the foundation for your decision-making. Exploring innovative cooperation models: Inquire whether it is possible to use rental purchasing, pay by production, or adopt a trial before purchase model. This can significantly reduce your initial investment risk and cash flow pressure. Finally, please change your perspective During periods of economic prosperity, procurement is for expansion; During an economic downturn, procurement is for survival and to consolidate competitiveness. A smart packaging device that can immediately reduce your operating costs, improve quality consistency, and make you more flexible in responding to small batch orders is not a cost, but a strategic investment that can help you "survive the winter and lead in the spring". If you are willing to share your industry, factory size, or specific challenges you face (such as high labor costs or severe packaging material waste?), I can provide you with more targeted equipment solution evaluation ideas.
