Gray: Seizing the High-End Market of Intelligent Packaging


On March 15, the reporter visited Liaoning Gree Automation Equipment Co., Ltd. and learned about the story behind the packaging machine manufacturing company under the guidance of General Manager Zhang Ruoxi. In a spacious workshop, samples of packaging machines for different purposes were displayed. Zhang Ruoxi introduced that each piece of equipment here is "highly skilled." Next to a small packaging machine, a box of corn starch was packaged neatly and cleanly. Zhang Ruoxi told the reporter that such packaging machines are indispensable equipment for some fine powder production and processing enterprises. In the past, some fine powder production and processing enterprises generated dust during production and processing, which not only polluted the environment but also harmed the health of workers.

  Inside a spacious workshop, samples of packaging machines for different purposes are displayed. Zhang Ruoxi introduced that each piece of equipment here is "highly skilled." Next to a small packaging machine, a box of corn starch is packaged neatly and cleanly. Zhang Ruoxi told the reporter that such packaging machines are indispensable equipment for some fine powder production and processing enterprises. In the past, some fine powder production and processing enterprises generated dust during production, which not only polluted the environment but also harmed workers' health. This powder packaging machine can directly bag the product, solving the environmental pollution problem, protecting workers' health, and reducing their labor intensity.

  The domestically pioneered fully automated packaging production line for refined white sugar displayed here integrates multiple patents and proprietary technologies of Gree in feeding technology, weighing technology, and bag-making technology, standing out uniquely in China's sugar processing and packaging production field. Gree's products are not only used here but are also widely applied in food, chemical, non-ferrous metals, and other industries for post-packaging, inspection, palletizing, loading, warehousing, and can achieve unmanned and intelligent processing and monitoring. Currently, Gree's users span many industries including food, chemical, metallurgy, and pharmaceuticals, with products sold to many provinces such as Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei, and Henan.

  Gree was established in 1996 and has maintained an upward development trend despite several market tests. From producing semi-automatic small and medium packaging machines to large ton-bag fully automatic packaging machines, it has been continuously advancing. Gree has a professional research team that independently develops two to three new projects every year.

  Entering Gree's production workshop, equipment tailored for a grain processing enterprise belonging to a certain Xinjiang corps, with a total price of about 40 million yuan, is being successively completed, mostly shipped to Xinjiang, with a small portion being packed and waiting for transportation. Workers in the workshop are rushing to complete the next contract. Workers are busy at their respective posts, with the sounds of machine tools and loading and unloading filling the air. Next to a machine tool, 60-year-old Li Shengli is busy processing a 1.5-meter-long conveyor drum. He carefully compares the drawings and operates strictly according to the specifications on the drawings. Li Shengli told the reporter that he has worked at Gree for 4 years and deeply feels the company's rigor in product quality and technology. "For the parts I am processing now, from rough machining to fine machining, several processes are required, taking six to seven hours." Li Shengli said that details determine success or failure; if each part is slightly off, the entire machine assembly may be significantly affected, so he tries to keep errors to a minimum during processing.

  Recently, Gree has been mainly busy preparing two things: cooperating with the country's largest corn deep processing production base to provide packaging machines capable of completing post-packaging, inspection, palletizing, and other tasks; relocating to the Shenyang-Fushun New City Robot Industry Base to leverage geographical advantages for further development. Zhang Ruoxi expressed his full confidence in the company's future prospects.
