How much does a 5kg packaging scale cost? Advanced technology has brought more development opportunities for it
Driven by the rapid development of industries such as food and optoelectronics, the 5-kilogram packaging scale has become a key equipment in modern production lines. Currently, the mainstream models in the market are priced within the range of 3,000 USD to 11,000 USD, depending on the technical configuration. For instance, the basic semi-automatic model costs approximately 20,000 RMB and is suitable for small workshops; while the high-end equipment with intelligent temperature control and vacuum packaging functions can cost up to 11,000 USD and has a daily processing capacity of over 10 tons. Data from Henan Yuheng Technology Publicity shows that the new 7,000 USD mid-range model has a packaging efficiency that is three times higher than the previous model, and the product leakage rate has dropped from 1.5% to 0.3%.
The development of packaging equipment in China has accumulated over several decades and has formed a complete industrial chain. The global technologies introduced earlier have been modified through localization in China, giving rise to a wide variety of equipment models. Taking the 5-kilogram packaging scale produced by Zhengzhou Yuheng Technology as an example, its core components adopt self-developed sensing technology, and the overall cost of the equipment is only 60% of that of imported equipment.
Intelligent upgrading is changing the industry landscape. Zhengzhou Yuheng Technology has newly launched a 5-kilogram intelligent scale. Through IoT technology, it enables remote monitoring. Managers can view data such as packaging speed and fault codes in real time via mobile phones. The equipment is equipped with an adaptive temperature control system that can operate stably in an environment ranging from -10℃ to 40℃, making it particularly suitable for packaging of cold-chain foods. The 2024 industry report shows that enterprises that introduce AI visual inspection technology have increased product quality inspection efficiency by 40% and reduced labor costs by 55%.
In the field of international trade, the export of equipment manufactured in China shows a structural characteristic. According to data from the General Administration of Customs of China, in 2023, packaging machinery accounted for 62% of the exports to Africa, mainly targeting basic industries such as flour and feed; Zhengzhou Yuheng Technology successfully entered the Spanish ham processing market with its 5-kilogram vacuum packaging machine that has obtained CE certification from the European Union, and the selling price per unit was 30% lower than the similar products in the EU market. In the future, the industry needs to make breakthroughs in standardization, such as establishing a packaging accuracy grading system. Currently, domestic equipment generally reaches an accuracy of ±0.05%, which is already at the global leading position.
The current development path clearly reflects three directions: in the food sector, deepening the application of intelligent packaging; in the photovoltaic industry, promoting anti-static packaging solutions; in the export market, focusing on breaking through in emerging economies in Southeast Asia. In 2023, Vietnam’s imports of packaging machinery from China increased by 37%, with the main demand concentrated on medium-sized equipment ranging from 5 to 10 kilograms. These trends indicate that the combination of technological innovation and market adaptation is reshaping the industrial value of 5-kilogram packaging scales.
Price is a matter that users are concerned about. Generally speaking, the price of a 5-kilogram packaging scale ranges from 3,000 to 11,000 USD. Due to the differences in model specifications and production technical parameters, it is difficult to give users a definite price figure. Advanced technologies have brought it more development opportunities.
