The 'Alliance Leader' raises a question and the 'Alliance' attacks together

This is an intelligent aseptic cheese filling machine developed by us relying on Dalian University of Technology. " On November 22, Zhang Zhicheng, the head of the planning department of Liaoning Chunguang Pharmaceutical Equipment Co., Ltd., happily introduced to the reporter that "it can not only disinfection and sterilization the packaging materials and handles of cheese sticks, but also ensure the sterility of the filling environment."

As a leading enterprise in the domestic pharmaceutical packaging machinery industry, in 2018, Liaoning Chunguang seized business opportunities and began developing cheese filling equipment, successfully signing agreements with multiple domestic enterprises. The deeper the cooperation, the higher the customer's requirements for aseptic filling of cheese. We tried using hydrogen peroxide for space sterilization, but the customer believed that there would be residues and it did not meet the requirements for carbon neutrality development, "said Zhang Zhicheng.

Is the plan rejected and there is no alternative technical solution? What should we do next?

Find allies! "Zhang Zhicheng believes that technical support needs to be sought from outside.

In March of this year, our province announced the first batch of 200 substantive industry university research alliances, with Liaoning Chunguang as the "leader" on the list. Our alliance has 5 universities and institutions with technological resource advantages and 4 upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain. Zhang Zhicheng introduced that the alliance is currently driven by the technological needs of enterprises and adopts a contractual benefit distribution mechanism mainly based on technology transfer or cooperation. The cooperation model has basically established the cooperation unit as the main supplier of the alliance.

With the support of the alliance, the key technology of sterilization in the cheese filling space was quickly conquered. Liu Dongping, a member of the Alliance and professor of Dalian University of Technology, was inspired by the scientific research achievements previously used for sterilization of ICU ward space, and "grafted" the low-temperature atmosphere and other in vitro sterilization technologies to the needs of Liaoning Chunguang, solving the problem of hydrogen peroxide residue. The application of this technology in cheese stick food packaging is an international initiative, "Liu Dongping said." Currently, utility model patents have been authorized for protection, and multiple technologies have been applied for national invention patents

Zhang Zhicheng candidly said, "In the past, when encountering technical problems, one had to 'figure out' the answers themselves. The results purchased from suppliers did not fully match the needs of the enterprise, and there was a lot of innovation pressure. Now, the needs can be accurately solved within the alliance

At present, Liaoning Chunguang and members of the alliance jointly carry out multiple projects such as the "Intelligent Production Line for Key Equipment and Storage of Pharmaceutical Packaging" and the "Semi fluid (Cheese) Efficient Sterile Packaging Intelligent Flexible Production Line". There have been 4 national invention patents, 1 EU invention patent, and 3 software copyrights are currently being applied for.

We will continue to increase research funding and accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological innovation achievements, so that all "allies" can benefit from it Zhang Zhicheng is full of expectations.

Link substantive academic research alliance refers to a technological innovation consortium composed of enterprises, universities, research institutions, or other organizations, based on the development needs of the enterprise and the common interests of all parties, guaranteed by legally binding contracts, with clear market goals. Our province has announced the first batch of 200 substantive industry university research alliance lists and 100 "unveiling and commanding" lists, and will allocate 500 million yuan to support alliance construction and implement major science and technology projects "unveiling and commanding". At the same time, our province has made it clear that the alliance should be led by enterprises, completing the joint research and development of mechanisms such as "unveiling and leading", promoting the integration and innovation of large and small enterprises, and accelerating the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements.
