Waste oil, poisonous cowpea, poisonous leeks... Wires, screws are eaten in food... Food safety incidents are endless. How to detect metals mixed in products? The metal detector can solve this problem.
Metal detectors are used in food industry production, and there are legal requirements in the United States, Japan and other countries. In recent years, although domestic companies have gradually realized its important role, the lack of enforcement of relevant laws and regulations has slowed their market penetration.
Equipment companies are optimistic about the market
The market potential of domestic metal detectors is favored by many equipment companies. The Star of Zhonglu in Jinan is one of them.
"We have introduced the metal detector to the market in the last three years. Although the current domestic sales are not large, there will be good progress in the next few years." Zhonglu Star General Manager Si Jianmin told reporters that the company Have years of experience in the production of coding machines before. The reason why I chose to enter the metal detector industry is because I saw the huge market potential.
China's food safety issues have attracted more and more attention from the industry. Our sales manager Fu Yanhui is also optimistic about the future market development. "The domestic market is basically in a state of being developed. Compared with foreign machines, Keyang's machines have a cost-effective advantage. I believe that our production and sales will be further improved in the future."
Production companies want to save money
Since the metal detector can well reduce the probability of metal impurities being mixed into food and meet the food safety requirements, why don't domestic manufacturers use the metal detector as a necessary equipment for the production line?
The German Shuangshi company, which has a history of producing metal detectors for more than 30 years, is somewhat helpless in the development of the metal detector market in China's domestic food industry.
"Domestic food manufacturers often only look at the price of the equipment, not the performance and efficiency of the equipment. So so far, our share of the domestic food market is relatively low." The company's marketing assistant Yan Qi told reporters.
A person familiar with the matter calculated an account: A small quick-frozen food manufacturer needs at least 3 or more metal detectors to meet the actual testing needs, while a large manufacturer needs hundreds of them, based on the domestic equipment of 30,000 yuan per unit. It takes a lot of money to purchase equipment, and it costs more to operate.
"It's not that the production companies are unscrupulous profiteers and don't care about the safety of the products. It's that the psychology of saving money and saving money is at work." The person familiar with the matter said that the issue of funds directly affected the domestic market of metal detectors. Penetration rate.
