PROCESSING & PACKAGING
 Intelligent packaging solutions from Mitsubishi
Located in the beautiful coastal city of Qingdao, Golden Pak (Golden Packaging) has many years of rich ser- vice experience in the ice cream in- dustry, as well as providing all kinds of packaging equipment for many lead- ing enterprises in the cold beverage industry such as Meiji, Wall’s, Nestle, Yili, Mengniu, Bright Dairy, Hongbao- lai, and Baxi. Golden Pak’s equipment is also exported to more than 60 coun- tries and regions including the United States, Germany, Japan and Russia. With the support of Mitsubishi Elec- tric and Qingdao Keling, they not only develop and upgrade special equip- ment for horizontal feeding, organiz- ing, packaging, sorting and palletizing for many industries such as food and medicine industries, but also create a comprehensive solution for the pack- aging process by using the e-Fctory framework.
In such a highly competitive market, Golden Pak has always maintained their excellent product quality, reason- able prices, stylish design and compre- hensive services. To support its export, Golden Pak has opened a joint venture manufacturing plant in Indonesia to
manufacture, sell and provide services locally and globally. In order to have a place in China’s packaging machinery industry, Golden Pak associated with Mitsubishi Electric and Keling.
Jin Weijian, General Manager of Qingdao Golden Packaging Machin- ery Co. Ltd. said, “Mitsubishi Electric’s products are stable in quality but with high prices, and end users want to buy inexpensive equipment. As a pack- aging equipment manufacturer, it is extremely hard to balance this con- tradiction, while obtaining reasonable profits, and ensuring the quality of the equipment. Fortunately, Mitsubi- shi Electric and Keling help us control costs through reasonable configura- tion and solve problems using their technology, so we have a strong base for competing.”
The technical support from Keling and Mitsubishi Electric was an impor- tant foundation for Golden Pak’s trans- formation and a critical factor in help- ing users to upgrade their processes. “Golden Pak design the machines, while Mitsubishi Electric and Keling provide electrical and system design support. This collaboration enhances
the co-operation between both the electrical and mechanical areas, with a future focus to add sorting equipment and box filling machines thus provid- ing solutions for the entire back-end packaging.” In this way, Golden Pak has transformed from a single equipment supplier to a packaging engineering provider. The installation of an au- tomatic Baumkuchen packaging line at a customer’s site illustrates the ef- fectiveness of these joint solutions by Golden Pak, Mitsubishi Electric and Keling.
Automatic Baumkuchen packaging production line project
Mitsubishi Electric not only has a full factory automation product line (from PLCs to industrial robots and process- ing machines, etc.), but it also has created the e-F@ctory digital manu- facturing concept based on nearly a hundred years of manufacturing ex- perience, built on a system framework and standards for creating intelligent factories.
“I hope that Mitsubishi Electric will strengthen its understanding of the in- dustry and invest in science and tech-

nology, at the cutting edge of the packaging process, to support the needs of end users and promote the applica- tion and expansion of production lines, pro- duction workshops, and even the application of products and solutions for the whole plant.”, says Weijian. He has extremely high expec- tations for Mitsubishi Electric. He said that once all production lines start to use Mitsubishi Electric’s technology, the stability of the pack- aging equipment will be better guaranteed.
