本期导读： 值此2021岁末、2022年初之际，我们先祝大家新年快乐、家人健康平安！我们将分两期和大家分享一篇ROVEMA公司公开发表的文章。这是一个芬兰的谷物生厂商使用ROVEMA包装机30年生产了7亿袋意大利面的故事，借此我们希望可以给国内的生产同类产品的同行做一个参考和借鉴。在过去的二十年里, 中国的包装机械行业有了飞速的发展, 但是相比较国外的百年甚至千年的包装设备制造厂家来相比, 还有很长的路要走。今年我们在国内接到了一些使用ROVEMA包装机超过20年的老客户来升级控制系统的订单，其中有一个客户有一台在广东的国内某食品工厂，该设备使用已经超过25年，预计升级后仍可以使用很长时间，这将为我们的客户节约大量的生产成本和机会成本。另外，我们在台湾的一个客户的ROVEMA包装机也已经有32年的历史，仍然在正常使用，客户于2019年也毫不犹豫地订购了另一台ROVEMA设备。
近年来伴随着工业4.0、人工智能等在包装机领域的推广, 把包装机械行业推向了一个崭新的阶段。但是作为传统的机械设备, 使用年限永远是一个永恒的话题，所以一位德国专家在回答一名记者关于设备性能的提问时，他毫不犹豫地回答：“德国人设计机器是根据使用年限400年来设计的, 客户需要的是一台可靠的、稳定的设备。”这也正是"德国制造"所谓的“物美价不廉”的原因，价格本应该就和质量成正比，这才应该是一种常态。但长久来看，稳定的设备是对于客户最大的生产效能和成本的保证。
Long and short cut pasta products are popular all over the world. They were probably invented independently of each other in China and the Mediterranean region. However, a 4000-year-old pasta pot found in China in 2005 gives the Asians the honour of being the first “pasta inventors”. Today, however, we associate pasta primarily with Italy. There are almost 600 types of pasta in the world, 200 of which come from Italy alone. The traditional Mediterranean food began its triumphal procession in Germany in the sixties of the last century. But pasta is also very popular further north.
长短切意大利面产品风靡全球，它们可能是在中国和地中海地区各自独立发明，然而，2005年在中国发现的一个有4000年历史的意大利面锅，却让亚洲人有了第一个“意大利面发明者”的荣耀。然而，今天，我们主要将意大利面与意大利联系起来。世界上有近 600 种意大利面，其中仅意大利就有200 种。上世纪六十年代，传统的地中海美食在德国开始了它的凯旋式游行，但意大利面也在更北的地方很受欢迎。

Myllyn Paras has been packaging products with Rovema Form Fill and Seal machines since 1989. Recently, a special milestone was reached: the 700th millionth pasta bag exited the production line of one of these veterans. Both customer and supplier are particularly proud of this, because 30 years of almost continuous production, around the clock, is an amazing achievement and there is no end in sight. The robust Rovema Form Fill and Seal machine is serviced regularly and gets high marks for this recurring activity as well: “The maintenance work on the Rovema VFFS machines is easy and quick to carry out” confirms the Myllyn Paras team.
Myllyn Paras公司自1989年以来一直使用Rovema成型灌装封口机器包装产品。最近达到了一个特殊的里程碑：第7亿个意大利面包装袋离开了这些“老兵”之一的生产线。客户和设备供应商都为此感到特别自豪，因为30年来几乎连续生产，昼夜不停，这是一个惊人的成就，而且看不到尽头。坚固耐用的Rovema成型灌装封口机器定期进行维护，并在这一经常性活动中也获得高分：“Rovema 立式灌装机的维护工作简单快捷，”Myllyn Paras团队这样确认。
The basis for such a solid performance is attributed to the good cooperation between the customer, the local representative in Finland and the machine builder Rovema, which manufactures the machines at the main production site in Fernwald, Germany, tailored specifically to customer specifications.
这种坚实性能的基础归功于客户、芬兰当地代表和机器制造商Rovema之间的良好合作。设备制造商Rovema公司的主要生产基地位于德国 费恩瓦尔德(Fernwald，德国城市，法兰克福以北80公里)，根据客户的规格需求为客户量身定制设备。

The customer emphasizes that, in addition to the positive experience with the first machines mentioned above, the good price-quality ratio and easy maintenance were also important reasons for their renewed decision in favour of Rovema. In addition to packing in pillow bags, the Rovema VPI 400 also allows the use of stand-up zip bags, another important criterion for Myllyn Paras.
客户强调，除了上述第一台机器的积极经验外，良好的性价比和易于维护也是他们重新决定选择 Rovema 的重要原因。除了采用枕袋包装外，Rovema VPI 400 还可以使用自立式拉链袋，这是 Myllyn Paras公司的另一个重要标准。
Conclusion of the customer: “To this day, the Rovema machines meet all our requirements in terms of performance, safety and comfort. The technicians who have looked after us over the years have provided advice and assistance to the local operators and continue to do so to this day.”
客户的结论：“时至今日，Rovema 机器满足我们在性能、安全性和舒适性方面的所有要求。多年来为我们提供服务的技术人员一直为当地的操作者提供建议和帮助，并持续到今天。”

The responsible Rovema Area Sales Manager, Lars Andersen, explains with a twinkle in his eye: “I tell many customers that unfortunately the Rovema machines all last a long time, so we often don’t see each other again immediately, but only after many years. Of course, I am all the more pleased when the packaging produced by our machines contributes to the customer’s success and a new investment becomes necessary due to an increase in capacity.”
负责的ROVEMA区域销售经理Lars Andersen，他眼睛充满光芒地解释道:“我告诉很多客户，不幸的是，ROVEMA的机器都很耐用，所以我们不会经常马上见面，只是在很多年以后才会见面。当然，我更高兴的是看见我们的机器生产的包装有助于客户的成功，客户由于产能的增加而需要新的投资。”
