Development of Machinery and Equipment for the Processing of Fast-moving Consumer Bamboo Goods
With the successive introduction of plastic restrictions policies by some countries,as well as the"Bamboo as a Substitute for Plastic"initiative launched by China,the fast-moving consumer goods(FMCGs)made of bamboo,represented by bamboo tableware,have received increasing attention in the market.Sawing,splitting,opening,cutting,shaping,and hot pressing are the main processes of mechanical processing of bamboo FMCGs,and the development of processing machinery directly affects the development of the bamboo FMCGs industry.Therefore,the research on bamboo processing machinery at home and abroad is confronted with new opportunities and challenges.In view of the processing process,this paper divides the mechanical processing of bamboo FMCGs into cutting machinery,splitting machinery,shaping machinery,and hot pressing machinery,and analyzes the current research and development of processing machinery and equipment for bamboo FMCGs at home and abroad with the focus on the representative products such as bamboo knives,bamboo forks,bamboo spoons,and bamboo straws.In order to solve the problems like heavy use of single machine and poor production continuity in current research on bamboo machinery,it is proposed that future bamboo machinery should develop towards automation,continuity and intelligence.
