Opening Message by HE Mr Alongkorn Ponlaboot, Deputy Minister of Commerce

O

n behalf of the Royal Thai Government, I would like to welcome all participants to ProPak Asia 2011 and extend our full support to this important international exhibition and conference.

The event has developed in Thailand to become not only the leading international processing and packaging event in Asia, but also one of Thailand’s most professional and prestigious exhibitions across all sectors.

Thailand’s processing and packaging industries have experienced tremendous growth over the past decade. The country is now the second largest food exporter in Asia, with about half of all production being sold to overseas markets.

The rapid expansion of Thailand’s food manufacturing industry would not be possible without its high level investment in standards, technology and production.

ProPak Asia 2011 enables the region’s

manufacturers to access world leading technology ensuring the highest possible standards of production are achieved for our expanding industry. The event, however, is not limited to only food manufacturing.

With much of the technology and developments embracing a wide range of industries for which Thailand is fast becoming the production hub, the fair also involves industries such as pharmaceutical, cosmetic, consumer goods, automotive and various other industrial applications.

As an event representing the regional hub, ProPak Asia 2011 also hosts the ASEAN Food Conference that will serve as a meeting point for Asia’s leading international experts and industry representatives, to share information, identify the trends and develop the industry’s production, quality and standards.

I would like to congratulate the organisers, Bangkok Exhibition Services on their successful organisation of the event, and for their professionalism in bringing together ProPak Asia 2011 with the support from various associations, institutes and governments agencies.

I would also like to wish all participants a successful and prosperous event.

HE Mr Alongkorn Ponlaboot Deputy Minister of Commerce

World Class Efficiency Message From Ms Pitchya Vajarodaya CEO of GS1 Thailand

B

eing aware that international trade is becoming increasingly competitive, Thai entrepreneurs find it necessary to upgrade their management system to at tain efficiencies levelled with the rest of the world.

Weaimtomaintaincompetitiveness of Thai industries and to sustain our share in the world market. The effectiveness of a management system relies very much on the tools employed.

GS1 Thailand of the Federation of Thai Industries has assumed a major role in promoting the GS1 global standard barcode into effect in supply

chain management.

Its implementation has resulted in higher efficiencies in many areas.

Complexity reduced and time saved in inventory control as well as pointof-sale trading. It has contributed to the country’s potential to compete in the world markets as Thai products are now of higher standard than before. It has also made product traceability possible.

GS1 Thailand is the registrar of Electronic Product Code or EPC, which combines with Radio Frequency Identification or RFID technology to provide a tool for storing product data on a microchip within the EPC tag. Its

implementation is aimed to enhance product management efficiencies even further. We pride ourselves on being able to contribute stronger existence of Thai industries in the global trade.

On behalf of GS1 Thailand, I appreciate the executives and exhibitors who realise the importance of GS1 global standard barcode, one of the tools that will drive Thai industries to be internationalisation. I wish the organiser, Bangkok Exhibition Services as well as other concerned organisations a successful and productive ‘ProPak Asia 2011’. n

n 2010, the 18th edition of ProPak Asia welcomed over thirty thousand trade buyers from 59 countries across the world. This resulted in revenues of approximately 30 billion Baht, which is a success for Thailand’s exhibitions industry.

As a public organisation operating directly under the PM’s Office, TCEB is responsible for promoting meetings, incentives, conventions, and exhibitions, known by the acronym ‘MICE’.

ProPak Asia was selected as part of TCEB’s ‘Better the Best’ campaign last year. This campaign selects leading industry tradeshows to become a ‘Champion Show’—an award that given to ProPak Asia again this year.

TCEB has suppor ted Bangkok Exhibition Services (BES) by promoting this event through marketing and public relations efforts, including a series of road shows in many countries, in order to increase business opportunities.

Opportunities were created for the event organisers to meet with targeted groups and to persuade trade buyers to participate in the event.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the organisers for their professionalism and contribution in bringing together ProPak Asia 2011, which has support from both private sectors and government agencies. I would also like to congratulate everyone involved with this effort for such a successful project.

Finally, I would like to also wish every participant success in their endeavours. n

Product Tracking:

From Pasture To Plate Effective management of perishable goods in a supply chain requires mechanisms that ensure safety and accountability to all parties. By Jeff Baum, senior VP, Manhattan Associates International (Asia Pacific)

F

ood industry faces challenges especially with regards to cold chain management, where companies operating in this space must continually comply with regulatory standards, and adhere to industry best practice.

StePS oF imPRovement The food industry is responding to these challenges by developing and introducing food safety measures and legal requirements to track and control the sourcing and distribution of food goods.

In 2009 for example, the US Department of Agriculture’s Country of Origin Labelling (COOL) programme went into effect. This requires that most meats, wild and farm-raised fish and shellfish, fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables, macadamia nuts, pecans, ginseng and

peanuts clearly indicate the countries where they were produced, processed and manufactured.

On the surface, the COOL mandate may seem simple and straightforward.

However, the US food chain is quite complex and was even called ‘antiquated’ when it comes to dealing with food safety, in a report from the Trust for American’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Ground meats, for example, may contain commodities that were born, raised and processed in three different countries. Further complicating this example is the fact that different products from multiple suppliers may also be combined to create the final item offered for sale to consumers.

imPlementinG iDeaS As a result, there are numerous challenges

Tel: 66 2 681 9990 - 3

• Lack of electronic tracking The majority of systems in place are manual processes with paper documentation that must be physically forwarded.

• Electronic solutions No government standards have been established as to how data is to be collected, so companies are hesitant to risk creating the infrastructure needed to serve multiple-user supply chains that may not meet future guidelines.

• Tracking historic product movement Each participant in the chain may have different tracking systems that are not able to communicate with each other.

• Limited functionality of manual systems Paper-based systems provide only discrete snapshots as a product makes its way through the supply chain. This is a disadvantage in the event of a recall or quality-control issue, when time is of the essence and the retrieval of detailed data is critical.

faced by processors, suppliers and retailers as they attempt to comply with the requirements. These include:

In spite of the challenges, COOL could bring advantages to both consumers and businesses.

If all participants in the supply chain adopted technologies that enable the electronic tracking of commodities, like bar coding, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags and Advance Shipping Notices (ASN), numerous advantages would be realised for both food safety and efficiency: Aside from clear labelling at the time of purchase, consumers could use product serial numbers, lot numbers or other unique identifiers to find online data pertaining to product origin, its path to the retailer or to verify its authenticity.

Capturing electronic data as close to the source as possible will streamline operations for ‘downstream’ processing.

In the event of a recall, comprehensive electronic data tracking enables companies to be proactive and immediately accountable.

In the event of quality-control issues,

manufacturers would be able to isolate and identify problem sources even in products containing commodities from multiple points of origin.

SoFtwaRe aPPRoach There are software solutions that ensure companies have full product visibility throughout the entire supply chain.

Among the developments in warehouse management over recent years is the introduction of RFID (or smart tags) to capture constant temperature readings and feed them back into a centralised system. This allows cool chain operators to track temperature readings and also detect if a flaw has occurred at some stage throughout their supply chain.

In terms of end-to-end traceability, software vendors are developing warehouse management solutions dedicated to achieving this. An example of this can be demonstrated in the Extended Enterprise Management (EEM) solution.

PRoBlem SolvinG Subsequently, it will be interesting to see if the US COOL programme will become the ‘poster child’ for other nations or regions that are struggling to keep abreast of this pertinent but complex issue.

Many countries have investigated the viability of introducing similar programmes; however most have not delved into it to the extent of the US. For example, in 2007, Singapore launched TR 24: 2007 Technical Reference on Cold Chain Management for Vegetables—the first such national standard of its kind for the ASEAN region.

The standard, which sets guidelines for temperature and humidity, for the storage and handling of the vegetables throughout the entire cold chain is probably the most significant of its type to date in the region. As the name suggests however, this standard only covers vegetables.

Given that a large volume of food produce is sourced from Asia by the US, it is inevitable the US COOL Program will eventually have some impact on the food and cold chain industries throughout the Asia Pacific region.

Only time will tell if the US COOL program is replicated at a country or regional level. However it is likely that the food industry is probably not the only segment that will face increased safeguards and monitoring. n

Case-Study:

Automation For Packaging Pies & Cakes A range of automation equipment made a major contribution to a packaging line at a bakery in the UK. By Annalisa Belante, marketing & communication manager, Cama Image allgemein, Propak Show Daily, ��� x ��� mm, CC-en��-AZ��� ��/��

D

esigned to increase output and improve flexibility, the packing machines replace manual hand-packing systems and allow the use of wrap-around cases. The result is a more flexible system, allowing a changeover of product size and variety in less than 10 minutes, by using a system of moving guides and a series of PLC sequencing programs.

Intelligent merging from two flow-wrapping lines is also possible. An additional benefit is that the machines have a smaller footprint, replacing toploading machines that require more floor space.

The final stage of each complete packing line consists of a wrap-around case packer and ancillary equipment.

These systems are capable of packing different product types in various configurations. The wraparound case packer for sponge cakes reaches a maximum speed of 25 cases per minute, while the system loads sponge cake trays at about 200 trays per minute, in a wrap-around case.

Another significant change involves the replacement of pre-printed labels by case coding. This not only saves on label stocks, but also allows the cartons to be printed on both ends, making identification much easier when the cartons are stacked on a trolley or pallet.

Solution For automation control on its systems, the machine builder uses the Rockwell Automation Allen-Bradley controller and operator interface. The controller controls the machine cycle and its functions, utilising the basic functionalities of the Allen-Bradley software, while the dedicated application software is developed in-house.

Other equipment used includes the company’s HMI, motor control, inverters, servomotors and drives, and CPU access control.

The controller’s software includes standard program modules for motors, valves, alarms and analogue I/O scaling, standard program modules for PID loops, programs and tasks structures, I/O mapping configuration, process control sequence examples, and safety/process interlock structures.

Results Due to the integration between the axis control and the PLC, there are no networks to manage, no languages to resolve, no duplication of variables or problems with compatibility or timing and no data to exchange.

In addition, the individual components have all been specifically engineered to work together, and each can operate at its maximum potential at all times.

While the individual machine components can communicate via Sercos, the Ethernet protocol is used to manage the settings and to communicate with the corporate supervision system. This way, the parameters can be recalled directly from a special menu via the operator panel, and so simplifying work for operators.

Depending on this setting, all other operating parameters are automatically updated. This means that a single person can control the entire packing line, eliminating the time normally needed for specialist personnel to set all the parameters. n

Vertical Bagging:

Cost Cutting opportunities

Progress through innovation

Vertical baggers lower the cost of labor and materials plus boost sustainability. By Robin Thurgood, VP & GM, Rennco LLC

F

or a wide range of products, automating the bagging process with a vertical bagging machine offers the advantages of lowering operating costs, while improving productivity and sustainability.

Vertical bagging machines form the bag around the product. As the film travels vertically around and down over the product, vertical equipment is ideal for bagging items that are longer than they are wide, have irregular shapes, or are pieces and parts for a kit.

Products most often packed with this method include: • Food service items – cups, lids, knives, forks, and spoons • Bulk packaging – bottle caps • Irregularly shaped products

Vertical bagging machines can make bags from 2 inches square (0.8 cm) to 65 inches by 24 inches (1.7 m by 0.6 m). Vertical bagging machines come in semi-automatic for hand loading and fully automated. Typical throughput in automated mode ranges from 10 to 35 bags a minute depending upon product size.

incReaSeD thRouGhPut In both automated and semi-automatic configurations, vertical bagging machines offer throughput advantages over hand packing of pre-made bags.

SuStainaBilitY Shipping rolls of film requires fewer trucks for the equivalent amount of pre-made bags. This means less oil consumed and reduced greenhouse gas generation.

Vertical bagging machines provide the organisation with the ability to specify the lightest gauge film for the application because the weight of the product pulls the film, giving it additional stiffness.

mateRial coSt SavinGS For many organisations, investing in vertical bagging technology can be cost justified on material savings alone. The bagging machine can use one roll to make many different bags. This means the organisation is not tying up funds in excessive inventory.

Depending on the volume of the application and the type and sizes of pre-made bags used, organisations can experience a 40 to 70 percent decrease in material costs in the transition from pre-made bags to centrefolded roll stock.

keY attRiButeS In terms of control technology, the machines should feature the latest PLCs, human machine interface (HMI) devices, and communications technology.

All machine functions, such as bag length, seal opening, heater setting, dwell time, and other parameters, should be controlled from the HMI. The interface should be easy to use and intuitive for employees, especially entry-level personnel.

Look for film feed and seal assembly controlled by servomotors for fast, precise operation. Also look for a constantly heated, coated ‘seal bar’, which helps ensure high-throughput, smokeless, and odourless sealing. n

BUHLER:

BAKed not fried

Buhler’s Aeroglide hot air impingement technology is producing ‘baked not fried’ snacks. The AeroExpander provides snack and cracker producers working from a half pellet base, the option of using hot air expansion on a true continuous production system—at capacities comparable with traditional oil fried or sand roasted pellets.

The equipment allows the flexibility of running a variety of pellet ingredient bases, shapes and sizes. Oil for taste enhancement and seasoning application can be added after hot air expansion, resulting in a low oil content product and reduced production costs when compared to traditional fried products.

HEAT AND CONTROL:

HigH cApAcity BAtcH fryer

Heat and Control’s MasterTherm batch fryer can produce just over 225 kg/hr of batch fried potato chips of almost any style. Cooking oil is heated gently and uniformly throughout the fryer by a thermal fluid heat exchanger, which is immersed in the oil.

Features include a continuous fines removal system, an oil mist eliminator that removes oil droplets from exhaust emissions, and a screw jack hoist system that safely raises the hood and heat exchanger for complete access inside the fryer.

Potato slices are automatically agitated and removed from the fryer by the Chip-Stirr paddle system. PLC control maintains a consistent temperature profile from batch to batch, and stores multiple product profiles for quick changeovers and repeatable product quality.

As liquid food packaging companies strive to give consumers more choices, the need for quick format changeovers becomes increasingly important. In response to these productivity needs, Sidel presents its Modulomold technology. It allows several bottles of the same size (up to 0.7 ltr) to be produced in a single mould using removable mould inserts.

The bottles have two shared parts, the labelling area and the base, and can be customised using the inserts. It takes less than 30 seconds to change a set of inserts, from opening the first mould to opening the second. No tools are required to perform the changeover.

Developed by CombiScale, the 360 Online Support eliminates delays and costs associated with site visits. All PrimoWeigher 360 combination scales are equipped with bundled software that allows the service technicians to connect to the equipment through the 360 Operating System.

The online support uses name-brand software including Skype and LogMeIn. With wireless or landline connectivity, the system requires a pin code and the customer’s consent for the technicians to access the system.

Market Report:

Asian Consumption Drives Future Closure Demand Asia accounts for the largest share of total annual closure volumes at 36 percent, equivalent to around 375 billion units. By Dominic Cakebread, director of packaging services, Canadean Global Beverage Closures By Type, 2010 % Share By Volume

Global Beverage Closures By Sector, 2010 % Share By Volume

Rest of World 2% Others 3% North America 23%

Asia 36%

East Europe 7%

West Europe 17%

Latin America 15%

I

n spite of the economic slowdown in many markets over the last two years, beverage closure demand has continued to grow strongly. The growth is driven partly by the sustained shift towards pre-packaged beverage consumption in many developing markets, and partly by the continuing growth in popularity of the plastic ‘bottle plus cap’ format — especially PET bottles in smaller ‘on-the-go’ sizes.

Growth Drivers & Demands Understandably perhaps in the more austere commercial climate, the overwhelming theme has been improved efficiency and cost/weight reduction, linked to growing environmental awareness and marketing focused on more efficient use of increasingly scarce and expensive resources.

This does not mean that the market has lacked innovation, however. Rising use of sports caps, dosing caps and similar ‘added value’ features is testament to the fact that the underlying demographic changes that are driving demand for greater convenience in closure design remain in place.

It means that these ‘added value’ technical and performance features need to be achieved at similar or lower price and reduced closure weight, creating more pressure on beverage closures manufacturers to come up with creative solutions.

Asia As Largest Market On a regional basis, Asia already accounts for the largest share of total annual closure volumes at 36 percent,

Ring-pull 24% Plastic 42% Metal 31%

equivalent to around 375 billion units.

Collectively, the Americas combine for just under 400 billion, Europe for around 250 billion, and the rest of the world around one tenth of that.

Not only is Asia already the largest market for closure sales, it is also the fastest growing, with annual growth rate for the period 2003 to 2015 at above seven percent — double the global average.

Plastics Take The Lead Looking at the global beverage closures market in detail, total demand across soft drinks, dairy drinks and beer markets under review amounted to around 1,055 billion closures in 2010.

Of this, ring-pull can ends accounted for 24 percent or about 250 billion closures. Plastic closures took a 42 percent share at 440 billion units and metal closures 31 percent or 325 billion.

In the years between 2003 and 2010, plastic closures saw their volumes increase at around 6.5 percent per annum, a combination of rising beverage consumption (in the 2003-2008 particularly), more beverages being sold in plastic bottles and the conversion from other closures to plastic.

Since 2008, the growth rate of plastic closures has dropped, but remained positive and is still forecasted to remain fairly robust in the years to 2015.

Metal closure usage on the other hand is only expected to increase by a single percentage in coming years to maintain growth of three to four percent throughout the period to 2015.

End-Use Sectors Finally, looking at end-use sectors, of the

Beer 31%

Dairy Drinks 11%

Soft Drinks 58%

1,055 billion beverage closures sold in 2010, 58 percent were for soft drinks, 31 percent for beer and just 11 percent for dairy drinks.

In each sector, a significant proportion of product is sold without a closure — in soft

drinks and beer, on-trade dispense plays an important role and in dairy, sachets and the informal milk are prominent in the developing world.

Look Ahead In terms of closures demand, each sector has exhibited positive overall growth in the period 2003 to 2010 and is expected to continue to do so going forward, beer at the same rate, a CAGR of 2.7 percent, dairy at a slightly reduced average — 4.1 percent per year against 4.7 percent in the years to 2010 — and soft drinks at a slightly enhanced rate — 4.1 percent against 3.9 percent.

While it is difficult to generalise at macro level because of regional and even national distinctions, for each sector, the factors underpinning these trends are different.

In milk, a conversion of pouch to carton and plastic bottle has an impact in creating a shift to larger sizes. In soft drinks a continuing desire for greater convenience will see more smaller packs appear. In beer, the bottle and can size expectations are well understood by consumers — 330ml, 500ml, 660ml being the most common — and changes to closure demand may be more associated with conversion between pack types than changes in the pack sizes offered to consumers. n
