A

s a meaningful and defining movement, sustainability is too often like motherhood and world peace—generally beyond criticism and full of warm fuzzy sentiment to soothe over any lingering doubts or misgivings about de facto reality with high-brow lip service about saving the planet from its ungrateful human inhabitants.

But now that sustainability has become such a well-entrenched part of the modern-day packaging lexicon over the last decade, there is nothing wrong with a little scrutiny to determine just how far CPG (consumer packaged goods) companies and everyday consumers have come along in their understanding, and execution, of high-minded ideals in the numerous instances of self-serving “greenwashing” unfolding both in corporate boardrooms and in the shopping aisles.

And there are more than enough surprising findings and observations contained in the 2012 Tork Report of leading global paper and tissue products group SCA North America—aptly titled The Sustainability Gap—to raise some eyebrows and suggest some sobering reassessment of how far we have progressed in reducing the industry’s carbon footprint to date.

Good news first.

“The good news is that we are making a steady march forward where sustainability initiatives have taken root,” the Tork Report states.

“Companies seek vendors that state their sustainability practices, offices are filled with recycling stations, and consumers visit restaurants that promote healthy living.

“In general, consumers want to know what companies are doing in terms of sustainability.

“People don’t necessarily care how they hear about a company’s sustainability practices—they just want to know,” asserts the report, based on a general adult survey of 2,114 consumers across

the U.S. and a complementary business professional survey of 1,005 U.S. professionals and 555 Canadian professionals, both conducted in late August of 2012.

Despite the keen interest in green issues by consumers, only 31 per cent of surveyed U.S. firms and 30 per cent of Canadian companies report that their sustainability plans had a positive effect on their bottom line, leading them to “question if consumers are giving them credit for these initiatives, [since] 57 per cent of Canadian companies and 60 per cent of Canadian companies say their sustainability initiatives had no impact on the bottom line,” according to the Tork Report.

“One reason might be that consumers have adopted a new set of values in how or why they purchase: they no longer classify these decisions as green but rather as the new normal,” the report suggests. “Just as sustainability is in constant evolution, their definition of green has also evolved.”

While this explanation seems to be letting the consumer off the hook rather easily, the report also makes a valid point about a “double standard” on the corporate side.

“Most businesses—77 per cent in the U.S. and 84 per cent in Canada—consider a vendor’s commitment to sustainability a ‘somewhat important’ factor in deciding whether to purchase products or services from a company,” the report points out.

“Still, the pace of adding a sustainability program into a company significantly lags the pace of seeking suppliers who have taken the step, with only 54 per cent of U.S. companies and 64 per cent of Canadian companies saying they have sustainability programs in place.

“Is this a double standard? Or do companies realize it is an important expectation for business but much more difficult to execute when it comes to their own operations?”

Valid questions, and definitely deserving some enlightening answers sooner rather than later.

SWEET NEW HONEY PACKAGE DESIGN READY TO SET GROCERY AISLES ABUZZ

NOVA PLANT BACK TO FULL CAPACITY

Citing growing North American market demand for packaging plastics, Calgary-headquartered petrochemicals group NOVA Chemicals Corporation has revved up the operations of its LDPE (low-density polyethylene) manufacturing plant in Moore, Ont., back to full commercial output capacity last month—just over a year after a reactor failure idled the plant for the first half of 2012.

“We are pleased to have our LDPE facility fully restored—allowing us to return to the LDPE market,” says NOVA Chemicals senior vice-president of polyethylene business Chris Bezaire.

“During the period between the incident in late 2011 and now, we committed resources and capital to not only rebuild the reactor, but also enhance our ability to operate more safely and reliably, with a streamlined product slate to better serve our customers,” Bezaire states.

Estimated to have cost the company over $40 million in damages and lost production, the reactor breakdown prompted a full shutdown of the Moore facility—manufacturer of both highdensity and low-density polyethylene resins that are used to make shrinkwrap films, food packaging, drums, heavyduty sacks, protective packaging, gas containers, and caps and closures—for the first six months of 2012, resuming some production in the second half of the year at significantly reduced levels.

According to NOVA Chemicals, capitalizing on growth opportunities in the LDPE markets is a key part of the company’s NOVA 2020 long-term business strategy developed to respond effectively to “emerging feedstock opportunities and growing North American demand.

“Restoring the Moore facility is the first step in NOVA Chemicals’ plan to strengthen its commitment to the LDPE market to better meet the needs of customers.”

“The new website also includes key product and honey information, and an interactive Billy Bee Kid’s Club,” says Kristen Heleniak, Billy Bee’s product manager with McCormick Canada. “The Kid’s Club offers fun Billy Bee wallpapers, coloring pages, and a section where children can create their own personalized story to go on an adventure with Billy Bee. “The clean, crisp, fresh new look includes

an updated logo with arms added to Billy Bee to give him even more personality,” says Heleniak, complimenting the expert prepress and label printing services provided by Toronto-based Deco Labels & Tags, ASL Print FX of Vaughan, Ont., and the nearby London-based Jones Packaging Inc. “The new 375-gram bottle really brings the lovable Billy Bee character to life,” says Heleniak, “and is sure to be loved by kids.”

Launched across Canada last month, the new 375-ml containers of the Koshercertified honey are shipped to Canadian grocery retailers in colorful, attention-grabbing merchandising displays designed by Londonbased Branton Advertising and assembled by Harding Displays in Toronto.

INNOVATIVE PACKAGING TRANSFORMS POPCORN BAGS INTO POP-UP SERVING BOWLS Since taking the consumer marketplace by storm more than 25 years ago, microwavable popcorn has not really seen much change or innovation in the way it is packaged, purchased, made and enjoyed at home, whereby consumers pour the popped corn from bags into bowls—creating more dishes to wash—or eat it from the bags and risk having greasy residue from the side of the bags spilling on their hands or furniture.

But no longer—thanks to a bold new “bowl bag” package design developed for ConAgra Foods Canada Inc.’s Orville Redenbacher’s brand’s new Pop Up Bowl microwavable popcorn products packaged in uniquely-designed bags that reshape themselves into stand-alone serving bowls while the kernels are being ‘popped’ in the microwave.

Consumers simply peel back the see-through lid of the bowl to enjoy one of the world’s most famous and iconic popcorn products.

“When it comes to snacking, consumers are looking for something easy, delicious and convenient,” says Harminder Singh, Canadian brand manager for the Orville Redenbacher’s product family. “Popcorn is a yummy, whole-grain snack, but it’s not always the most conducive to easy sharing.

“With the launch of the Pop Up Bowl, grabbing a snack and sharing it with family and friends is a breeze,” says

Singh, calling the Pop Up Bowl the “biggest innovation in popcorn snacking since the invention of the microwave bag.”

Singh says ConAgra is planning to transition all current varieties of its existing regular-size microwave popcorn bags— retailing in three-, six- and 10-packs—to the Pop Up Bowl packaging format in the near future, with the popular Buttery and low-fat Smart Pop! f lavors already hitting Canadian retail shelves last month, to be followed soon with pending release of the Extra Buttery, Light Buttery and Select White f lavors.

While the new packaging format is all about making it easy for Canadian consumers to enjoy their favorite microwavable popcorn brand, there was nothing easy about making it a reality, says Singh, citing “years of development” to make the concept technically and commercially feasible.

Singh explains: “The construction of the bowl is extremely complex—unlike any structure ever produced before by Orville Redenbacher’s—which resulted in a great deal of trial, error, and research in order to get the structure just right.

“We also required construction of a completely new opening system using a laser score,” Singh relates. “The development of a brand new adhesive system also meant a great deal of

research was needed to ensure that all materials were safe for use of this product in the microwave.

“Finally, our filling equipment needed to be modified a great deal in order to actually fill the Pop Up Bowl with popcorn kernels.”

According to Singh, “The biggest challenge was the creation of the new complex lamination at high speeds.

“Whereas traditional microwave popcorn bags have two layers of paper with a susceptor patch and adhesive, the Pop Up Bowl has almost three times the number of different elements going into it, and it is also much more difficult to put together due to dimensional issues.”

The Pop Up Bowl construction comprises a layer of microwave-safe PET (polyethylene terephthalate)—combined with virgin-paper sidewalls to accommodate printed graphics—as well as teartape with a pressure-sensitive adhesive on the outside of the bag, which is used in conjunction with a laser score to facilitate easy removal of the top of the bag.

“There is also a susceptor patch that works to turn microwave energy into radiant heat in order to pop the corn,” says Singh, adding consumers can see a fully-interactive video presentation of the bowl taking shape inside a microwave at www.facebook.com/OrvilleCanada

PACKAGE DESIGN

THE ART OF PERSUASION Shopper insight reveals the eight simple rules of persuasive packaging

BY MARK BALTAZAR

I

t has often been said that the only constant is change. In an environment where media fragmentation is increasingly a concern for marketers, it should be no surprise to many in the marketing community that brands are having a difficult time breaking through to consumers with a motivating message. Which is why the discipline of shopper marketing has become a hot topic in marketing circles around the world in recent years.

One important component of a brand’s shopper marketing program is its packaging strategy, with packaging finally being rightfully treated as a strategic asset and managed as a valuable component of a brand’s portfolio of assets.

In a recent BrandSpark International study, we found that only one-third of consumers knew exactly which brands they were going to buy on their next visit to the grocery store. While alarming for some, this statistic points to the importance of winning the on-shelf battle.

A product’s packaging is, in most cases, the last opportunity a marketer has to convince the shopper that their product is superior and worth buying, compared to the many options stocked right beside it. Packaging can make a difference in whether a shopper considers your product, buys it, and even whether they are willing to pay a premium for it.

So what are the keys to success in the on-shelf battle?

For over 10 years, we have been testing packaging with consumer packaged goods shoppers through custom studies, as well as our company’s high-profile annual Best New Product Awards national competition. This global database of insights spans nearly every product category—providing us with a keen understanding of what truly makes packaging a persuasive form of marketing.

While close-up analysis of our global database reveals many packaging design ‘best practices’ for each major category, we have identified eight ‘universal truths’ that are applicable to any CPG (consumer packaged goods) category: 1. Less is More.

Despite most of us hearing this countless times, it is fascinating today to still see thousands of product packages jam-packed with the entire brand story, all the features, some benefits, and all sorts of other product info.

Believe me, the shoppers are not attracted by this.

In fact, because shoppers are typically looking to complete their shopping trips as quickly as possible, packaging that is able to communicate the product benefits and the brand’s point-of-differentiation, without having to be picked up, will win the sale.

2. Benefits over Features.

It never fails: every time we test packaging con-

8 • WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

cepts, the ones that highlight the product’s consumer benefit outperforms those that highlight only the features of the product.

As marketers, we sometimes have the tendency to tell consumers and shoppers alike as much as possible about the product.

But let’s face it: most shoppers don’t care. What they really want to know is how the product will help and benefit them.

Therefore, leverage the back of the package to outline any key features relevant to your differentiated product story, but keep the front of the package clean and clutter-free.

3. Benefit-driven Design.

The packaging design—shape, color, packaging features, etc.—must be able to clearly communicate and emphasize the product and brand benefit.

In laundry care, for example, the main consumer benefits are to remove stains, brighten the colors, and whitens the whites. This would suggest packaging that is clean—being free of design and copy clutter—and bright with vibrant colors, which also visually ladders up the ‘whitening’ benefit.

The packaging for the Schneiders brand line of Country Naturals all-natural meats (see picture) was recently evaluated by shoppers in our study, which revealed its shelf-appeal strength stemming from its simplicity and the use of ‘natural’ colors to provide a clear connection to the product’s benefits.

One shopper summarized it in a nutshell: “Simple label on package: Not the multicolored ‘in your face!’ pitch.”

4. Bright and Vibrant.

Think of your packaging as a billboard in Times Square: How is it going to stand out in the sea of billboards vying for your attention and dollars?

Packages with bright colors tend to perform better than dull-colored packages more often than not. This is your product’s chance to put its best foot forward, so don’t fall f lat with dull, boring colors.

One of the top performing food packages in our database for 2012 was Nestle’s Drumstick Bigger Nugget product, which proved to be highly successful in persuading shoppers in large part because of its vibrant colors. Not only do the colors make the package stand out in the frozen-foods aisle, its colorful vibrancy espouses associations of a fun and great-tasting dessert. As one shopper claimed, “I can practically taste it!”

5. Brand Breakthrough.

If you were to f lash your package in front of shoppers for less than a second, how many would be able to correctly recall your brand?

Design packages so that your brand clearly stands out, which is especially true if you are launching

new products under a brand with strong equity in the marketplace.

Your brand asset needs to be leveraged to its full extent because you will need all the leverage you can get in this crowded marketplace.

Imagine your target shopper in the aisle of a store being bombarded by thousands of packages, shelftalkers, merchandising displays and everything else being thrown at them. Your brand needs to be able to break through the clutter and attract the attention of your target.

6. Attract your Target.

This may seem like a ‘no-brainer,’ but what a marketer thinks is attractive may not be what the target market thinks is attractive. Make sure to test packaging with your core target and those of your expanded target before making significant investments in packaging production. The degree of attractiveness is a strong contributor to a package’s performance in the marketplace.

7. Transparency.

Keep in mind that shoppers operate with a healthy dose of skepticism when they are in the buying mindset.

They don’t easily forget the disappointment of opening a bag of chips only to find out that they are half-full, so offering a glimpse of what’s inside the package goes a long way to reassure the shopper that they’re getting what they are paying for.

Whether it’s a small knockout window or a fullytransparent package, you are more likely to persuade shoppers to buy your product by showing them what’s inside.

8. Multi-use Packaging.

While this is not the primary reason shoppers will buy your product, it definitely will tip the balance in your favor if your packaging can be used long after the product inside has been consumed.

In general, packages that are able to apply each of these principles listed above will perform better than those that apply only a few, as compellingly illustrated by the Tide Pods packaging (see picture) that proved to be one of the best-performing packages we recently tested.

While these principles may seem straight forward to some, after testing over 400 packages in North America in 2012 alone, we know that these principles are only being applied to some consumer package goods—still leaving plenty of room for improvement and a significant opportunity for brand leaders and their packaging agencies to leverage these persuasive techniques to win the in-store battle for a larger share of shoppers’ wallets.

MIXING THINGS UP Jointly developed by KUKA Systems GmbH and RSW, the new MXRP (Mixed Case Row Palletizing) cell combines the latter’s innovative adjustablefinger gripper and KUKA’s advanced robotics and control system to streamline the building of pallets with mixed products and/or packaging at distribution centers by allowing users to stack up to four cases at a time using the system’s four adjustable fingers. According to KUKA, this combination enables a single-robot MXRP workcell to handle up to 1,400 cases per hour, compared to conventional cells operated by two robots at maximum speeds of about 1,000 cases per hour. Boasting patented Flex Strap technology that makes it possible to position adjustable fingers at different levels to grip, stock and load cases on top of uneven layers, the cell’s control system can adjust each finger independently, horizontally or vertically, and move the forks left or right for optimal spacing to accommodate up to six forks. The end result is a denser, more store-friendly mixed pallet that can be wheeled right off the truck into the store aisles for overnight reshelving.

PURE POWDER TRIP Designed for filling up to 33 plastic bags per minute, the new ADAMS 12 powder filling machine from Haver Filling Systems, Inc. is equipped with 12 filling spouts that synchronize bag operations with the specified filling speed to ensure continuous high-speed production. The film reel begins the cycle by feeding a plastic film tube inside ADAMS 12 to form the empty bags, which are then continuously placed onto the rotating filling spouts that fill the bags to selected capacity from 10 up to 94 pounds of product, after which a vibrating unit compacts the product for a tight fit and brick-like load stability

FORM AND FUNCTION The new XPdius i-130 vertical form-and-seal machine from WeighPack Systems, Inc. boasts a host of toolless features designed to save a lot of valuable time when loading film, replacing pull belts and doing bag width changeovers, according to the company, while facilitating easy access to the front, back and inside of the frame for maintenance and servicing. Incorporating two Panasonic servomotors and drives on the pull belt assembly and horizontal seal jaws to ensure total control over acceleration, deceleration and positioning—with the horizontal seal jaw speed fully-adjustable to travel in and out from as little as one up to 6.5 inches—the stroke opening of the seal jaws can be quickly recalled as a storable parameter from the machine’s PLC (programmable logic controller) when running a broad range of bag thicknesses. Handling bags from 2.5- to 13-inches-wide, and bag lengths from two to 18 inches, the XPdius i-130 machine offers a range of performance-enhancing standard features such as a cantilevered air film shaft, which eliminates side chucks to hold film in place and facilitates fast film roll reloading, as well as a splicing table with a special film-clamping mechanism to eliminate the need to thread new rolls of film through the rollers.

EZ DOES IT! The new model EZx 465 Touchless X-ray inspection system from Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. has been engineered to eliminate the need for using shielding curtains, according to the company, while still complying with all the global food safety standards.

Offered with a 400-mm-wide belt, the new EZx 465 Touchless model eliminates the need for heavy lead or no-lead curtains that can frequently prevent lightweight product from passing through the X-ray chamber— resulting in production line jams and downtime—by conveying product through the chamber via a series of small slopes. The high-speed system’s reducedheight aperture helps ensure that the X-ray scatter does not escape from the inlet or outlet areas of the system when detecting foreign objects such as metal, glass, stone, plastic, bone, etc.—at speeds up to 100 meters per minute—across a broad range of lightweight and open-container products.

ECO-PACK NOW

U.S. GROCER MAPS OUT A CLEAR VISION FOR SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING While some consumer packaging may admittedly be more difficult to recycle than others, such obstacles are really an opportunity in disguise for companies like Clearly Clean Products, LLC, which has recently developed what it claims to be the world’s first recyclable MAP (modifiedatmosphere packaging) tray for fresh meat, poultry, entrées and kebobs.

Already approved for food-contact use by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) in the U.S., the new MAP trays—made from the same rPET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate) plastic material as water bottles—use a special patented, printed liner that provides sufficient barrier protection to help packaged meats maintain effective shelf-life, which is then easily peeled off the tray after use at home to make the tray ready to go into the recycling bin.

A few months ago, Sunbury, Penn.-headquartered supermarket chain Weis Markets Inc. replaced the traditional lid-sealed plastic meat trays with the Clearly Clean MAP trays (see picture) across all of the 162 grocery stores it operates in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and West Virginia as part of its companywide sustainability drive.

“This new packaging program underscores our strong commitment to adopting sustainable practices to minimize our impact on the environment,” says Weis Markets sustainability manager Patti Olenick, adding the recyclability of the new trays make them far preferable to traditional foam and lid-sealed plastic trays.

“We are continually increasing our conservation efforts, providing recycling opportunities for

both our associates and customers, and evaluating our store designs to meet with our standards for environmental leadership and stewardship,” Olenick states.

“We strive to lead by example, helping to make a significant difference in our communities.”

According to the South Windsor, Conn.-based Clearly Clean, the new trays are simple for most processors to seal using existing sealing equipment.

Says Clearly Clean president Jeff Maguire: “Clearly Clean is proud to be able to help companies extend their sustainability focus from the farm to the store to the home, and Weis Markets is a great example of a company that has embraced this concept.”

ECO-LABELED TETRA PAK CARTONS TAKING OFF ACROSS GLOBAL MARKETS Leading aseptic packaging products manufacturer Tetra Pak estimates that more than 20 billion of its signature paperboard beverage and liquid-food cartons sold worldwide last year carried the universally recognized FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) eco-labels indicating the paperboard used to make those boxes comes from responsibly managed forestlands—more than double the 8.5 billion FSC-certified Tetra Pak cartons sold in 2010.

“With more consumers and retailers demanding environmentally-sound and ethically-produced products, brands that carry the FSC label can attest that their products are packaged using material that has passed the toughest standards of responsible forest management,” says Tetra Pak’s vice-president of marketing and product management Charles Brand.

Since the launch of the very first FSCcertified Tetra Paks in 2007 by the U.K.based supermarket chain Sainsbury’s (see picture), the company’s eco-labeled drink boxes have been embraced by retailers and brand-owners in 39

countries, including Canada and the U.S., China, and across Europe and South America.

Last year, for example, about 1.8 billion Tetra Pak cartons sold in Argentina carried the FSC label—representing over 70 per cent of all Tetra Pak packages shipped to the country—while the Benelux countries of Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg sold a total of 1.2 FSC-labeled Tetra Pak boxes, or about 60 per cent of the total.

“More and more customers express concerns about the environment every day, hence the inclusion of the FSC logo on our milk packages contributes positively both to the brand image of our products and to public environmental awareness,” says Marcelo Magni, marketing and business development manager with prominent Argentinian dairy producer Williner.

“The FSC label provides proof that our packages meet the highest industry standards in terms of the use of renewable raw materials, which allows our customers to choose responsibly.”

Taco Kingma, manager of sustainable busi-

ness with the Dutch-based dairy cooperative FrieslandCampina, agrees.

“Consumers are increasingly looking at the environmental profile of the products they purchase,” Kingma states, “and we have set clear goals on making our packaging more sustainable.

“The FSC certification for our paperboard packaging is a major step in this development.”

According to a recent survey of 6,600 consumers in 10 countries conducted by Euromonitor for Tetra Pak, nearly half of respondents said the absence of information about the environmental profile of a packaged product was an issue in their purchasing behavior, with about the same number saying they find on-pack eco-logos helpful in understanding the environmental impact of beverage packages.

Says FSC business development director Marcelle Peuckert: “By displaying FSC labelling on their packages, Tetra Pak is helping raise awareness of the important role that responsible forest management plays in ensuring the economic, social and environmental viability of one of the earth’s richest resources.”

UNIQUE FILM OFFERS A NATURAL WAY TO HIT THE PACKAGING SWEET SPOT Few foods are as universally loved around the globe as chocolate, which unfortunately makes chocolate bar wrappers one of the most commonplace pieces of trash at landfills all over the world.

But it doesn’t have to be that way if more leading chocolate producers follow in the steps of the Italian organic foods consortium Alce Nero Mielizia SpA, which has recently switched the packaging for its Alce Nero brand of fair-trade chocolate bars to the compostable NatureFlex metallized film developed by U.K.-based Innovia Films.

Manufactured from wood pulp sourced from certified managed plantations, the cellulose-based NatureFlex film is engineered to break down at the end of its life-cycle in either home compost bins or industrial compost environment within a matter of weeks.

According to Innovia, NatureFlex also provides good packaging and converting attributes such as

12 • WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

inherent deadfold and anti-static properties, high gloss, superior resistance to grease and oil, a good barrier to gases, aromas and mineral oils, and a wide heat-seal range.

For Alce Nero, which sources its cocoa from organically-grown plants in Costa Rica and harvested there by the COOP Sin Fronteras network of independent fair-trade producers, switching to the compostable wrapper is a logical expression of the company’s earnest commitment to organic farming and fair-trade principles it has championed right since its 1978 startup.

“The metallized NatureFlex from Innovia Films was a perfect fit for us due not only to its environmental attributes, but also its excellent barrier properties that keep our organic Fair Trade chocolate in premium condition,” says Alce Nero’s marketing manager Nicoletta Maffini.

“That’s why we decided to move from standard plastic to a biodegradable and compostable alterna-

tive to wrap our chocolate bars.”

Boasting about 95-percent renewable bio-based content, the NatureFlex films are certified to meet the U.S. ASTM D6400, European EN13432 and Australian AS4736 stan- The Alce Nero brand dards for compostable chocolate bars wrapped packaging, according to in compostable metalInnovia, and are also suit- lized NatureFlex film. able for emerging ‘wasteto-energy’ techniques such as anaerobic digestion.

“Our metallized NatureFlex film is used to good effect by Alce Nero because it fits in with their brand image, protects the product, and is fully compostable,” adds Innovia Films technical service and development specialist Giorgio Berton.

SOUP KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL Iconic soupmaker blazing a hot new trail in the comfort foods marketplace with cutting-edge aseptic packaging competencies

BY GEORGE GUIDONI, EDITOR PHOTOS BY COLE GARSIDE

I

f a good soup is really a natural product of a pure heart, as musical genius Ludwig Van Beethoven once eulogized for the ages, then you can rest assured that people at the Campbell Company of Canada plant in west-end Toronto have their hearts in the right place in a big way indeed.

First opening its doors in 1931 as the first foreign subsidiary of Camden, N.J.-headquartered canned soup giant Campbell Soup Company, the venerable soupmaker not only boasts a rich history of product innovation, cooking expertise and iconic brands that have virtually made it the country’s unofficial national soup kitchen, but also a keen competitive mindset combined with a formidable grasp of cutting-edge modern production and packaging technologies that help maintain its status as one of Canada’s most successful and progressive food manufacturers on a daily basis.

Which is no small feat when you’re shipping about a billion cans of a broad variety of condensed and read-to-serve soups each year to Canadian

consumers coast-to-coast, along with fueling a growing export business at a healthy pace thanks to the plant’s unique manufacturing competencies and relentless focus on product development and packaging innovation.

“We make a million cans of mushroom soup daily, one day a week, 50 weeks a year—so that’s a total 50 million cans per year for the Canadian consumers, just the mushroom soup alone,” says Campbell’s youthful 45-year-old Toronto plant manager David Schelter, who joined the company in 1999 as a maintenance engineer after obtaining a mechanical engineering degree from Ryerson University in Toronto.

Full Fill “And we do that by still using a 35-year-old filler, which we have upgraded over the years to enable it to run the Cream of Mushrooms soup brand at 1,200 cans per minute,” Schelter told Canadian Packaging on a recent visit to the company’s 550,000-squarefoot multibuilding production and warehousing complex near the Lake Ontario shoreline in the city’s mostly residential west-end neighborhood of

upscale houses, neat tree-lined streets, and pockets of glitzy newly-built condo towers.

One of five soup canning plants operated by Campbell Soup Company in North America, the sole Canadian production facility produces all the popular 7.5-, 10-, 14-, 19-, 28- and 48-ounce can sizes of f lagship Campbell’s brand family of soups for the entire Canadian market, explains Schelter, with about 20 per cent of its output currently exported to the U.S. and some other niche foreign markets such as Hong Kong and, until recently, Great Britain.

“There is now a brand new line being tooled up at the Campbell’s plant in Germany which will supply the important U.K. market,” says Schelter, “but until recently all the production for the U.K. was done here.

“Being able to produce unique sizes and unique product recipes is very important for a plant like ours because we are by far the smallest of Campbell Soup Company’s thermal plants, with our U.S. plants producing at least twice the volume of our production capacity,” says Schelter, explaining the “healthy competition for volume” between the different therContinues on page 16

mal facilities, also comprising canning operations in Maxton, N.C., Paris, Tex., and Napoleon, Ohio.

“Because the U.S. plants enjoy volume capacities two to four times our size, faster-running lines and lower labor costs compared to ours, having unique capabilities like shorter runs, faster changeovers and unique specialty products are key for us in obtaining and maintaining a competitive advantage of our own,” Schelter explains.

“For example, we are the only plant to produce the vending machine-size 7.5-ounce cans, which are sold in both Canadian and the U.S. markets,” he points out. “We are also pretty unique in having the marketing, product development, and the R&D kitchen all done under one roof, so that the chefs can share tips and info with R&D team to develop new product quickly and effectively.

“And naturally, there have been a lot of incremental improvements implemented over the years to improve efficiencies, reduce liabilities, rationalize production, and do all those other things we need to do to keep our costs competitive here in Canada.”

Running a busy three-shift, 24-hour, six-days-aweek operating schedule, the landmark complex— situated on a dozen acres of urban real estate—has undergone a series of major upgrades and expansions over the years: most recently a 1985 completion of a brand new building originally designed and

tooled for the production of Campbell’s bestselling V8 brand of vegetable juice and Prego pasta sauces.

But after that juice production was transferred to the Napoleon plant in early 1990s, the new building suddenly found itself desperately lacking for work, Schelter relates: “When I started here in 1999, the whole area was mostly just a storage and warehouse space.”

That all changed dramatically in 2003, when Schelter led a team through the opening stage of the building’s multimillion-dollar conversion into a dedicated aseptic processing and packaging facility—opening up vast new market opportunities for the Toronto plant in the growing global marketplace for shelf-stable, aseptically-packaged beverages and liquid foods.

While aseptic packaging was not an entirely new notion to the globally-operating Campbell Soup Company worldwide at the time—having already operated successful aseptic packaging lines in Australia and France for a number of years—the 2003 installation of the first high-speed Combibloc aseptic filling line at the Toronto facility was a major game-changer for Campbell’s North American business traditionally associated with metal cans, as immortalized by Andy Warhol’s famed 1962 painting of the enduringly iconic Campbell’s Tomato Soup can.

Leap of Faith “Our aseptic business has been growing in leaps and bounds ever since we started out on our aseptic journey in 2003,” says Schelter, relating that the line was originally intended for a relatively lowvolume, limited production of liquid broth products for the Canadian market.

“But in less than 10 years, this small f ledgling project became a fast-growing business that just took off big-time,” says Schelter, describing the subsequent phased-in installations of a high-speed Tetra Pak TBA 3 Flex Brik aseptic filler and three more state-of-the art aseptic fillers manufactured in Germany by aseptic packaging specialists SIG Combibloc.

“Our first line ran well but we only ran it in season, one shift, three-days-a-week, with about six

to seven people,” Schelter recalls. “Today we have two full production lines running 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week” to produce aseptic cartons of soups, broths, stocks, purées, and a fast-growing range of other innovative and specialty products packed in attractive aseptic paperboard cartons that Canadian are proving to be very fond of.

Nowadays fully living up to its formal ACC (Aseptic Centre of Canada) moniker adopted from employee suggestions, the state-of-the-art, climate-controlled, HEPA-filtered and fully airconditioned aseptic operation also operates its own dedicated R&D and lab to accelerate the product development of bold new innovative products such as the recently-launched Campbell’s Stock First line of premium-quality stocks.

and product development skills, along with great new manufacturing skills,” says Schelter, “while also creating dozens of new jobs at the plant.

“There are about 70 to 80 full-time employees who would not be here today if we didn’t make these aseptic products,” says Schelter, “and at the moment we are the only Campbell facility in North America able to make them.

“To my knowledge, we are the also the first, and possibly the only plant in Canada to be able to do aseptic particulate products with half-inch and three-quarter-inch food chunks in them, thanks to our Combibloc equipment.”

States Schelter: “The multimillion-dollar investment made in 2003 and 2006 in both Combi and Tetra Pak packaging equipment has kept the plant modernized and supported the launch of many exciting aseptic products, including the latest—our 900-ml V8 Splash juice and 480-ml Campbell’s Stock First.

“Stock First is an amazing product that makes it easy even for me to make simple sauces,” he chuckles. “I just add grated cheese to our Stock First Cream sauce and voilà—a great cheese sauce to pour over broccoli.”

Acknowledging the high level of competition in the aseptic markets between Tetra Pak and

One of several high-speed Mettler-Toledo Safeline metal detection systems employed in the plant’s vegetable preparation area to remove any foreign particles and impurities from the freshly-sliced produce headed towards the cooking kettles.

SIG Combibloc, the ACC operation keeps the two company’s respective filling lines in separate rooms, Schelter explains, adding that he is equally impressed with the production capabilities and final product quality delivered by both.

The key, according to Schelter, is using each of the two technologies for the right product—as determined by market needs and processing efficiencies.

Hence, the high-speed Tetra Pack filling line— running at robust filling rate of 7,000 cartons per minute—is used primarily for long-run production of 32- and 48-ounce Tetra Brik cartons of broth products for the vast U.S. market, where this packaging format is showing very promising demand growth.

Time Change On the other hand, the Tetra Pak line is less wellsuited for short- and mid-volume run production because of the time-consuming changeovers required to switch from one carton size to another.

“It takes about a week to do a changeover between the two sizes,” says Schelter. “It really is a major conversion, almost like doing a full equipment overhaul.

“Just completing the CIP (clean-in-place) procedures takes about five hours, and even after the changeover is done, it usually takes about a week of production to get back to full production speed.”

In contrast, switching between 500-ml and 250ml drink cartons on Combibloc equipment—

typically running at 6,000 cartons per hour—is done in about an hour with a few straightforward mechanical adjustments on the filling machine to accommodate the selected carton heights.

To maximize this f lexibility, the ACC typically runs two of the three Combibloc CB606 fillers to produce various broths, and thicker food-particulate products like purées, for both Canada and the U.S. Situated at the far end of the Combi room, the higher-speed Combibloc CB510 model filler is used primarily for long-run production of broth products.

While both Tetra Pak and Combibloc cartons effectively guarantee at least one-year shelf life for the shelf-stable contents inside them, there is a significant difference in the way that the packaging material is formed, filled and capped, Schelter explains.

“With Tetra Pak, the paperboard stock comes in continuous rolls that are loaded onto the machine and formed into a continuous tube, which is then washed in hydrogen-peroxide to sterilize the package, filled inside the machine’s aseptic zone, and sealed ultrasonically via special jaws right through the liquid inside the package.

“It’s a great, highly-efficient machine for liquid operations,” he states, “but the way it seals makes it unusable for large particulate products because if any solid gets in the way of sealing, you are risking a bridged seal.”

Conversely, the Combibloc cartons are supplied as pre-printed paperboard sleeves that are formed into their square-bottom shapes and filled with product “like an open container to the right level, making sure that no particulate gets in the way of the seal.

“The filler has two stages, so that you can fill it with the heavy garnish and liquid separately or mix it up if you need to, and the filled sleeve goes on to the aseptic stone, which seals and forms the top of the box,” he explains.

As for capping, the Tetra Pak plastic caps are applied after the filled cartons emerge from the machine with a thin tear-off aluminum foil layer positioned right where the cap is to be attached directly on top of it, whereas the Combi pressthrough plastic enclosures are attached onto the tops of filled cartons inline at the filler.

The high-volume Tegra model optical sorter from Key Technology is equipped with a series of powerful machine vision camera to detect and remove all produce particles showing visible blemishes from the product flow.

COVER STORY

The high-speed conveyor lines at the soup canning plant are powered by high-efficiency SEW-Eurodrive motors.

Manufactured by Intelligrated, the fully-automatic Alvey 800 series palletizers use the signature-blue CHEP pallets to form high and stable product loads of Campbell’s soup cans tightly packed inside corrugated shipping trays.

But for all their subtle differences, Schelter prefers to emphasize the common benefits that Tetra Pak and Combibloc aseptic systems jointly offer to the consumer marketplace—one-year product shelf-life without refrigeration until after opening the pack—and significant reductions in product preparation time, compared to the traditional canning methods.

Schelter explains: “The heat-based thermal process takes about 20 to 40 minutes to make a can of soup, whereby you blend the soup, fill that can, put the lid on it, and then cook it under pressure.

“For aseptic packaging, the blending is almost the same, but you sterilize the product and heat it first, and then you fill it in a clean aseptic environment in one step that takes about a minute to 90 seconds, depending on the product,” he says.

“So you have really fast cook time, a much more energy-efficient process and fresher-tasting soup.”

That said, aseptic packages still account for a relatively smallish portion of the Toronto plant’s total output, with the shiny new steel cans—manufactured by Silgan Container Corporation—arriv-

ing in massive palletized stacks from the Napoleon and Paris sister-plants in regular JIT (just-in-time) rotation to keep the canning operations running smoothly around-the-clock.

“All of our U.S. plants have a canmaking plant attached to them, operated by Silgan, but we don’t have that here,” says Schelter.

“So we quickly depalletize the cans and send them to the production f loor via an overhead bridge to be readied for filling on one of the seven high-speed packaging lines on the second f loor.”

At any given time, there are at least four different soup recipes being “cooked” and filled in the plant’s expansive blending area equipped with nine massive fillers and 10 large cooking kettles coupled side-by-side in five cooking stations that simultaneously dispense the finished product from one kettle to the fillers while stating the cooking cycle in the other.

This operation is meticulously monitored by well-trained line operators, called ‘cooks,’ who keep a close eye on the kettles and control the entire process via a swing-arm HMI (human-

machine interface) touchscreen terminal.

“The cooks are there to monitor the mixing of ingredients, cook time, and all the other preprogrammed steps and recipes to make sure our sequenced batching process, going back-and-forth between the two kettles, is running as it should at all times,” says Schelter.

“We make four different soups at a time in the can plant, and changing the product over five times a day makes that 20 different soups being produced here daily,” says Schelter.

“But our real big sellers, like the Cream of Mushroom soup, just run all day long.”

Such fast-paced production environment naturally requires daily morning deliveries of key raw ingredients—fresh bulk potatoes, carrots, celery, mushrooms, etc.—from select domestic farmers to the plant’s vegetable preparation area, where the bulk veggies are visually inspected and properly spaced out on the conveying belt by a pair of plant employees positioned on either side of the conveyor, where they also remove any obviously unfit or deformed pieces of produce off the line before they reach automatic slicers that peel and dice bulk product to the preprogrammed size and shape.

COVER STORY

Finished pallets are transferred by heavy-duty rollers inside the rotary-ring Octopus stretchwrapping system.

“The metal detector also keeps a log of all product passing through the piping on the way to the fillers, including time and date, in the system to give us perfect, logged-in product traceability in case of any problems.”

Even after the product has been filled, canned and labeled, all the cans still go through a highspeed X-Ray inspection system manufactured

by Eagle Product Inspection—distributed in Canada by PLAN Automation—as part of the plant’s uncompromising food safety and quality assurance regimen.

This meticulous attention to detail and quality control is well-displayed on the canning facility’s seven packaging lines and their respective and labeling stations—each outfitted with Cognex visual inspection systems to verify that the filled cans are in perfect shape and properly labeled, and that each can is marked with a proper product code applied by an inkjet coder onto the bottom of each can.

“Every can gets a special code, intended for our internal use, which tells what blending systems and kettles the product ran on, which filler and which packaging line,” he explains. “Knowing exactly when it was made at the plant, and so that we can easily trace the can right back to the exact piece of equipment for full traceability for each can.

“The vision equipment is used to double-check each can code to make sure that we have the right code on the right can and that it matches the barcode label applied to it, so that each can of Cream of Mushroom has a Cream of Mushroom label on it, with the matching barcode.”

All this proactive diligence is suitably rewarded with top-level quality control performance, according to Schelter.

“About 95 per cent of rejects identified by the Cognex system actually turn out to be ‘false rejects,’ with the biggest single issue being slightly damaged cans,” he relates. “In those cases, we puncture the can, it goes through a shredder, the metal is recycled, and the contents are used for organic waste.

“If it’s a mild reject and the product is still fit for consumption but not quite right for consumers at the store level, say a crooked label or some other mild visual defect, those are donated to the Food Bank collection depot next door, says Schelter, adding the Campbell is one of the largest donors to the Food Banks Canada organization—donating over one million pounds of product annually.

While such strict quality control may seem overthe-top, Schelter asserts it’s an integral part of the company’s overall ethos to provide consumers with the highest-quality nutritious product possible.

“Since this vision equipment has been put in we find maybe one wrong can a year on average,” he says, “but that’s still important to us because it means one less dissatisfied customer out there.”

This strict quality control regime even extends into the end-of-line packaging area, where every palletized load has one case randomly removed for further close-up inspection.

“We then put these ‘set-asides’ into the incubator at a high temperature and open it up after five days to determine if there’s any kind of a challenge to the system we should be addressing,” Schelter relates, “and we do it for every single product.”

The plant’s highly-automated end-of-line packaging area is an imposing sight, with seven fullyautomatic Alvey 800 palletizing systems constantly creating a wide assortment of palletizing patterns to erect highly-stacked pallet loads of Norampacmade corrugated shipping cartons of canned product on the signature-blue CHEP pallets—in both Canadian and U.S. specs.

The finished pallets are then secured in place for transport by the towering, fully-automatic, highperformance Octopus rotary-ring stretchwrapping system manufactured by ITW Muller, and swiftly

whisked to the shipping area by one of the multitude of all-electric Yale and Caterpillar forklifts buzzing around the busy facility operating in classic JIT mode.

“Everything made here gets shipped out the same day,” says Schelter. “We have a distribution center in Brampton that stores product for the eastern market and one in Calgary for the western market, and we ship product there all day long because we really don’t have much space for storage here.

“So if there is some kind of a serious problem to prevent us from shipping the product from here, like a big ice storm, we would literally have to shut our production in about six hours—that’s how much of a buffer we have due to the sheer volume of product that we pump out each day.”

Supplied by Charles Downer & Co., the Euroimpianti robotic palletizing workcell erects stable pallet loads of filled aseptic cartons packed into corrugated trays.

And with that volume more than likely to expand in coming years thanks to the plant’s fast-growing aseptic business unit, the Toronto facility—already producing over 240 SKUs (stock-keeping units) in six can sizes and three aseptic formats—seems to be well-poised to continue solidifying its unofficial de facto status as the country’s largest soup kitchen for years to come.

New tray-packing and labeling equipment help Toronto chicken processor optimize production line efficiencies and uptime ANDREW JOSEPH, FEATURES EDITOR PHOTOS BY COLE GARSIDE

W

hen former U.S. president Herbert Hoover once famously promised “a chicken in every pot” during his winning election campaign back in 1928, he may well have been far ahead of his time—especially in light of the looming Great Depression that made his promise ring tragically hollow in the years to follow.

But with the benefit of more than seven decades of continuous advances and innovation in the farming, processing and packaging industries, the ready availability of chicken meat as an easy-tocook, tasty and affordable meal option across much of the modern world is a matter-of-fact that most modern-day consumers tend to take for granted.

According to the recent biennial Food Outlook report from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (UN), worldwide production of poultry meat was expected to reach 103.5 million metric tonnes in 2012—a 1.8-percent increase from the year before.

While historical evidence suggests that domesticated chicken has been a part of mankind’s diet for the past 7,000 to 10,000 years, its widelyembraced role as a commodity dinner staple is in fact a fairly recent development in the broader historical context.

Aside from North America’s historically high consumption of eggs, it wasn’t really until the middle of the 20th century that large-scale chicken farming and processing eventually replaced what was until then a largely casual enterprise.

Advances in science and technology helped bring chicken production and industrial-scale chicken farms to the forefront with development of better feed, infused with antibiotics and vitamins, that allowed the chicks to be raised indoors—away from predators and inclement weather—while being fed a controlled diet to create a pluckier, protein-rich bird.

This evolution in turn laid solid foundations for a massive and intensely competitive poultry processing industry pitting multinational agrifood conglomerates against countless small-sized operators in direct competition for the consumers’ grocery budgets, especially in North America.

24 • WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

And while conventional wisdom suggests that size and economies of scale should easily favor the industry’s big boys, there are still many small and adaptive companies—like the Toronto-based York Chicken Products Limited—who happily defy that logic on a daily basis.

Founded 22 years ago, York Chicken primarily focuses on supplying retail grocery customers with bone-in and boneless chicken thighs, drumsticks, breasts and other portioned cuts packaged and sealed in foam trays, as well as whole birds.

Chicken Run Also supplying vacuum-sealed whole turkeys for seasonal holidays and special occasions, the company processes and packages an estimated 4.6 million kilograms of poultry per year, according to president and owner Rui Rocha.

Nowadays employing 37 full-time people on a one-shift, five-days-a-week production schedule, York Chicken has come a long way since its fairly auspicious beginnings. Although it was originally

conceived as a partnership, Rocha found himself to be its sole owner within three months of startup.

“While it’s unfortunate that this partnership wasn’t able to work out, once the other partner sold me his ownership stake, I found myself in a position of being able to make every one of my ideas a reality,” Rocha relates.

“But before I could even do that, a truckload of my chicken was stolen on what was to be my first day of business as a sole owner, so I was off to a really ‘great start’ from the outset,” he chuckles.

Despite early startup pains, Rocha’s perseverance and commitment paid off handsomely over the years, as evidenced by a series of moves and expansions to accommodate steady growth in production volumes.

“When we first started out, we only had a tiny 1,400-square-foot facility that we actually shared with another company,” recounts Rocha.

“Soon after that, we moved to an 18,000-squarefoot rented plant, before purchasing our own 10,500-square-foot production facility.

“We moved into our current 40,000-square-foot home in the west-end of Toronto five years ago,” Rocha told Canadian Packaging on a recent visit to the spanking clean, HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points)-recognized facility in westend Toronto that earned full SQF (Safe Quality Food) 2000 certification earlier this year.

“We are very pleased with the recent SQF achievement at our plant,” says general manager Brian Smith.

“We realize that this is something customers are definitely going to expect from their food processors.

“For us, obtaining the SQF certification provides a good way to assure grocery retailers that all the food we pack is processed and handled in full com-

pliance with the highest food safety standards in the industry,” says Smith, adding that all products processed at York Chicken are sourced exclusively from Canadian farms.

“Part of our SQF certification means knowing where our chickens are coming from, as well as knowing exactly how we are handling them from the point-of-entry, portioning, packing and storage right until we deliver them to our customers,” Smith explains.

“Along with providing us with a measure of confidence in our product, we know it also does the same for our customers and consumers—making sure they can trust York Chicken to supply them with a quality product every time.”

Double Act The York Chicken plant currently operates two production lines to package its products—one for tray-packs and the other for sealed plastic bags—which are continuously upgraded with modern production and packaging systems to optimize the company’s production efficiencies and cost-competitiveness.

Earlier this year, Smith relates, York Chicken turned to the Burlington, Ont.-based Reiser Canada—Canadian subsidiary of leading U.S.headquartered meat-processing and packaging machine-builder Reiser—to improve production f low on the company’s tray-packing line.

The signature blue wood pallets supplied to the plant by CHEP Canada are used by York Chicken to transport packed product to its retail customers.

Having spent decades working in the food business, York Chicken operations manager Paul Rutherford says his knowledge of Reiser equipment goes way back.

“While it is true that Reiser puts out really highquality machines, what really sealed the deal for us was their ability to provide prompt after-sales service,” relates Rutherford.

“We really cannot afford to have too much downtime in our business,” he states, “so Reiser’s speedy ability to provide us with a service technician to help us out whenever we require one was definitely an important factor in selecting their equipment.”

Installed by Reiser last summer, the new Gruppo Fabbri Model 55 Plus stretch film wrapper provides the York Chicken plant with an effective means to produce tightly-wrapped tray-packs that keep the chicken products looking fresh and attractive on retail shelves.

“Using film supplied by Bunzl Canada, the Fabbri 55 Plus adds an overwrap of stretchfilm over the product and the pre-formed trays we purchase from Packpro Systems,” Rutherford reveals.

Although York Chicken runs the high-speed Fabbri 55 Plus at a rate of 50 trays per minute, the system it is capable of wrapping 55 packs a minute—hence the machine’s moniker.

Employees hand-place portioned chicken pieces onto a foam tray and move it onto a conveyor line, which transports the trays a short distance to the Fabbri 55 Plus tray-packer.

“It really is quite simple to use,” Rutherford extols. “An operator-friendly control panel with a full-size screen allows us to select a pre-programmed operation and away it goes.

“It’s just that simple,” says Rutherford, pointing out that the machine’s noncontinuous mode of operation means that it only moves when there is an actual tray on the line to be wrapped—translating in energy savings and reduced noise levels.

“It also utilizes advanced electronics that ensure optimal reliability and performance, while eliminating cams and chains in its design—meaning that the machine parts aren’t liable to wear out easily,” explains Rutherford. “And its large reel of film is easily swapped out—resulting in minimal downtime.”

FRESH PICKS OF THE FLOCK Continued from page 26

Along with the Fabbri wrapper, York Chicken recently purchased a Reiser Loader VI-B column dumper, which Rutherford hopes to have up-andrunning in early 2013.

After the packed trays are heat-sealed by the Fabbri 55 Plus, they move along a conveyor past a Bizerba model GV weigher-labeler, which quickly applies a thermal label to the face of the pack.

“We retail-price everything here,” explains Rutherford. “We check the weight of the product and, based on the specified pricing per kilogram, the Bizerba GV adds the price to the label, as well as the net weight, price per kilogram, best-before date, our company information and the product description—all in English and French.

“To avoid bottlenecks in the production line, the Bizerba GV has to do it at a very fast speed, which it does very, very well.

“It’s a very impressive machine, which is why we have two of them—one for each line,” he notes.

According to Rutherford, 80 per cent of York Chicken’s output is packaged in tray-packs, with the remainder bagged by the plant’s Emplex MPS 7000 bagger, manufactured by PlexPack, and labeled by the second GV model weigher-labeler with the same product info as the tray-packs.

For product going directly to retail stores, Smith says York Chicken “prices the product with our white label with our establishment number, weight, best-before date, etc.

“For product going to a customer’s warehouse, we do not price the product because that’s done later at the store, but we must stamp the film of the product with the best-before date and our Federal Establishment number,” he explains, noting that the film is coded by a Markem-Imaje S8 Classic small-character inkjet printer.

Smith says that a lot number is placed onto every corrugated master carton which, depending on the product, can contain between eight to 12 traypacks inside. While individual packages do not contain a lot number, Smith says the production date is fully traceable by its best-before date.

After labeling, both the tray and bagged lines feed product to a master carton room to be hand-

As part of York Chicken’s SQF certification, ensuring the equipment and facility are kept clean and sanitized is of paramount importance, which is why it has set up eight recently purchased Diversey cleaning stations.

“The Diversey cleaners do a great job in helping us sanitize our machines and tables—providing us with gentle but effective cleaning detergents and tools to ensure our products are being processed in a safe and secure manner for our customers,” Smith notes.

Fresh Outlook Smith says that unlike in the frozen-food segment, the fresh chicken business moves at a very high pace, and that the speed of business makes keeping track of the f low of product a very important requirement.

“Full traceability of our products is something we are quite proud of,” asserts Smith. “We utilize an ERP (enterprise resource planning) system to provide real-time production data.”

Developed by the Brampton, Ont.-based Minotaur Software, the robust ERP software provides York Chicken with full seamless control over its own external and internal systems, including processing, packaging, picking, transportation, Workers loading eight tray-packs of chicken cuts inside the protective corrugated master cartons from Rock-Tenn.

sales, finance, administration, and even customer relationship management.

“In addition to a full-time CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) officer on our premises, the ERP is full of checks and balances that help us ensure that we process and pack safe and tasty meat for the consumers,” relates Smith.

“Because York Chicken is primarily in the fresh business, both speed and safety are important factors, as we have to receive the product, process it, pack it and ship it on a very tight schedule,” sums up Smith.

“That’s why high-quality production machinery, like Reiser’s Fabbri 55 Plus stretchfilm wrapper and the Bizerba weigher-labelers—combined with our sanitizing equipment—are all key performers to our continued success and growth,” he concludes.

“We are confident that York Chicken’s due diligence will ensure that we continuously prepare our poultry products in a clean and safe environment.”

L

ike it or not, the issue of food safety continues to be a hot-button topic with consumers around the world concerned about just what exactly ends up on their dinner plates on their table at dinnertime and, for better worse, it is likely to continue as such for the foreseeable future.

To that extent, the packaging and processing industry as a whole tends to look at every aspect of a food product as it makes its way into the hands of the consumer—making sure the proper safety protocols are in place and followed to the letter to avoid embarrassing, costly or deadly product recalls on the account of allergies, contaminants, irradiation, or poor packaging and product handling practices.

And while most Canadians consumers tend to have faith that the products they eat are prepared within a safe environment, from time to time that faith has been severely tested.

Although last year’s highly-publicized E. coli (Escherichia coli) outbreak traced to the XL Foods meat-processing plant in Brooks, Alta., was directly linked to ‘only’ 18 confirmed illnesses, its other unintended consequences were staggering in their impact—leading to temporary loss of employment for thousands of workers throughout the beef industry’s supply chain, an all-out vilification of the Canadian meat-processing sector,

having more than 2,000 products being pulled off the retail shelves across Canada, and another black eye for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).

As XL Foods is responsible for the slaughter of some 40 per cent of all Canadian cattle, the cow manure did indeed hit the fan.

With XL Foods accounting for such a large percentage of the cattle slaughtered in Canada at the time, the widespread panic gripping the meatloving consumer public over the outbreak overwhelmed both the meat-processing industry and the retail sector—despite their lightning-quick response—to such extent that not even bargainpricing of beef products was enough to stem the tide of heavy financial losses unleashed by the high-profile scandal ultimately traced to poor handling of meat at the Brooks facility.

Collective Cost To protect the consumer as much as to protect themselves, food processors everywhere have taken a step back to examine all aspects of food safety within their control in an attempt to mitigate future concerns—including how packaging is produced and handled.

“Even though none of our customers were a part of the XL Foods recall, the whole industry suffered for it,” explains Kruger Packaging’s vicepresident containerboard division Rob Latter.

“And because a recall can have a devastating

effect on the food processor industry as a whole, it is up to everyone involved in the processing and packaging industry to take a keen interest in helping ensure the consumer gets a safe, quality product in a quality package,” Latter told the Canadian Packaging magazine during a recent interview.

As part of the 109-year-old Montreal-based Kruger Inc. corporate entity that has business units servicing publication papers, tissue, forest and wood products, energy, recycling, and wines-and-spirits markets, Kruger Packaging focuses on the manufacture and processing of corrugated packaging.

Pizza Pizzazz “Kruger has a deep-rooted culture of workplace safety, which is something we take great pride in,” Latter asserts.

supporting promotional materials and displays, along with a broad range of everyday protective packaging products.

“As of 2013, about half of our business is foodrelated, and that is still growing,” states Latter. “So as a company, we have taken great pains to ensure we focus on manufacturing product following proactive food safety initiatives.”

While continuing to produce containers for the chemicals, textiles and clothing industry, Latter says that over the past four years Kruger has continued to expand its market share within the foodpacking segment with such well-respected clientele as Olymel L.P. and McCain Foods Limited.

But it’s the remarkable success within the pizza delivery sector that had Kruger commit to a recent capital expenditure, purchasing equipment to help protect pizza boxes.

“Our business relating to the pizza industry has certainly increased over the last little while, with customers realizing Kruger provides not only a

quality product at a fair price, but also goes that extra mile to ensure the product remains a quality product all the way to the consumer,” Latter mentions.

While custom-sizing is, of course, offered by Kruger, Latter says the single-tray standard pizza box sizes for customers like 241 Pizza, Pizzaville and Little Caesar’s account for the vast majority of its pizza carton business.

Safety Initiative

Kruger’s Brampton plant production manager Paul Domachevski says that for the pizza boxes, E-Flute is the most used grade, although it still does produce the previous more industry-common B-Flute.

“The E-f lute is half as thick as the B-f lute,” explains Domachevski, “but pizza boxes nowadays utilize a plastic insert on the actual pizza to prevent crushing, so stackability isn’t a factor any more.”

Domachevski says that while the stackability strength of the pizza box isn’t as great an issue for pizza makers, the use of the thinner Domino Canada Welcomes a New General Manager E-f lute does play a role As a next step in achieving the ambitious growth goals outlined in Domino’s in sustainability.

says Domachevski, “which will mean fewer vehicles on the road to deliver the cartons to the customer.

“Of course, we want to ensure those cartons arrive safely at our customer’s door.”

For Kruger and its pizza-making customers, safety implies a perfectly clean corrugated product.

After the corrugated is printed on the five-color press, it is diecut, stacked and then bundled.

Until recently, all the pizza cartons made at the plant were bound by a strapping machine.

But, in November of 2011, Kruger installed a brand new, high-capacity inline shrinkwrap system from PlexPack Corporation, which produces a clear protective film to be placed over the corrugated pizza cartons in order to keep them clean and dust-free.

Headquartered in Toronto with an office in Palm Harbor, Fla., PlexPack manufactures the Emplex bag-sealing equipment and the Damark shrink packing machines.

SAFETY As a means of adhering to its food safety protocols, the Kruger Packaging facility in Brampton shrinkwraps flats of pizza boxes with a protective layer of film supplied by Unisource Canada.

“All (pizza) boxes we run are shrinkwrapped by the Instawrap,” states Domachevski. “It does a great job with the wrapping and the removing of excess film.”

Although Kruger’s new Instawrap machinery has some customized features built into it by PlexPack, Domachevski says he was very impressed with the system prior to the purchase, noting that “it provides a quality film wrap that we hadn’t seen anywhere else.”

Even long after the install, Domachevski continues to sing the praises of the Instawrap equipment.

ReiserPkg_Food_v2012_CP_J_Reiser “This large, high-capacity machine has the capacity to handle 15 bundles per minute, and it has other features we care about that help the wrap look clean,” says Domachevski, noting the Instawrap provides a perfect cut along the stretchwrap so that the pizza bundles do not get any excess film applied to them.

As well, Kruger machine operators enjoy the fact that when it comes time to load film rolls onto the Instawrap, it is easily added on the side of the machine, rather than on top of it.

“It’s a simple thing,” admits Domachevski, “but it’s a nice safety feature for the operators.”

In addition, the excess film trim is rewound through a pair of rewinders also located on the side of the machine allowing safe and easy access for the operators.

Other features of the Kruger custom Instawrap include: • a GOT1000 programmable logic controller with graphics manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric; • Festo multi-stroke cylinders; • SEW-Eurodrive motors; • 48-inch-wide shrinkwrap film manufactured by AEP Industries Inc. and purchased via Unisource Canada Inc. of St. Laurent, Que.

Motor-vation According to PlexPack, the company chose to utilize SEW-Eurodrive motors on the Instawrap because it determined the motor’s rugged design would work well in the harsh, dusty environment created by Kruger’s corrugated production lines.

Each of the SEW-Eurodrive motors is paired with a Mitsubishi D720 adjustable frequency drive that constantly monitors the motor’s performance to ensure years of maintenance-free operation.

The Instawrap has three one-horsepower R27 series SEW-Eurodrive motors to power its conveyors and another two half-horsepower K37 series motors to spool the film into the twin side-seal system.

As for its use of Festo products, PlexPack employs the pneumatic specialist’s new line of multi-stroke

SAFETY

As the bundles of film-wrapped corrugated are cut, the edges are heat-sealed within the Damark Instawrap.

A Mitsubishi Electric GOT1000 touchscreen programmable logic controller makes programming and operating the Damark Instawrap shrinkwrap system a snap for Kruger employees.

Within the Damark Instawrap, a Festo multi-stroke cylinder aids in the process to automatically adjust shrinkwrap seal height based on the incoming package’s height.

cylinders that, when combined with the Instawrap’s built-in logic, will adjust the seal height automatically based upon the incoming package’s height.

PlexPack notes that because the Instawrap seals in the center of the package every time, it allows the wrapper to minimize film consumption by decreasing the spacing between products, which is automatically adjusted by the SEW-Eurodrive powered conveyors.

According to PlexPack, the Instawrap combines the best qualities of a side-sealer and a sleeve-wrapper.

The Instawrap utilizes two rolls of f lat film— so that no PFU (power film unwind) system

with an inverting head is required. Its removal means the overall length of the machine is reduced when compared to standard side-sealers, while providing an easier job for the operator.

“Because there is no PFU, operators do not need to thread film through an inverting head,” Domachevski asserts.

“That can be tricky even for an experienced operator, but this way, any downtime is greatly reduced.”

The use of two rolls of f lat film—as opposed to a more standard single center-folded roll—also means less downtime to change film, cutting the arduous job by half.

“We didn’t want to go to a center-folded film roll at all,” says Domachevski. “We wanted a side-reel, the film trimmed and the excess rewound—which we send out for recycling—all to be near the operator, and we definitely wanted a side film load.

“PlexPack has delivered exactly what we required, while helping us provide an excellent level of product safety for our customers.”

With Kruger doing well with its corrugated business, its nine production lines are a constant hive of activity.

“Since December of 2012, we’ve been running the shrink tunnel line 24/7,” admits Latter.

The Brampton facility currently has two f latbed die-cutters, one Jumbo press, four f lexo folder/ gluers, but only two rotary die-cutters, which is why it is awaiting delivery and installation of a new rotary Hycorr die-cutter, which Latter expects to be running f lat-out out by April 2013.

Latter feels Kruger’s commitment to food safety is self-evident in all of the company’s processes.

“Food safety is a critical issue for the food industry, and Kruger will most certainly do its part in ensuring that all consumers remain safe.”

AUTOMATE NOW

AUTOMATIC REACTIONS Line flexibility, modularity and product safety key drivers in the fast-paced global packaging automation market

BY GEORGE GUIDONI, EDITOR

A

fully-automated, smooth-running packaging line operating at ultra-fast speeds with minimal human supervision or machine stoppages is something that tends to be taken for granted in today’s increasingly technologyobsessed modern consumer society.

But for those closer to the action, implementing that vision into everyday reality at busy CPG (consumer packaged goods) manufacturing operations is a daily workplace challenge arguably requiring more human brainpower, technical ingenuity and highly-specialized skills than ever before—especially in the context of the fiercely-competitive global economy and emerging new market opportunities worldwide.

Whereas mass-scale manufacturing and packaging automation was once a luxury reserved for the elite few multibillion-dollar CPG powerhouses, nowadays investment in packaging line automation is more of a prerequisite for competing in global markets that can also be served by a multitude of upstart offshore competitors with unbeatable advantages in labor costs—making continuous automation in manufacturing industries of all sorts an everyday fact of life.

According to last year’s report by leading market research services group Global Industry Analysts, Inc. (GIA), the global market for packaging machinery is estimated to reach a hefty US$52.9 billion by 2018.

This forecast growth presents innovative manufacturers of automated packaging machinery and suppliers of automation components, devices and systems with a wealth of incentives and opportunities to benefit from the emergence of new populous CPG markets, along with a new imperative to continue making their equipment better, faster, safer, more productive, more f lexible and, more recently, better attuned to the public imperative for a more environmentally-sustainable manufacturing model.

“Despite the tight grip of worldwide economic uncertainty on the broader packaging industry, the

high-performance packaging machinery market continues to f lourish, driven by the need for convenient, innovative and smart packaging solutions,” say the authors of the comprehensive study titled Packaging Machinery: A Global Strategic Business Report.

“Major growth is likely to stem from lucrative end-use industries such as food-and-beverage, pharmaceuticals, personal-care products, printers, converters and others,” the reports states.

“Increasing production capacity and robust growth from developing BRIC economies of China, India, Brazil and Russia will fuel demand in the future.”

But because a healthy market is no guarantee of sustained long-term success and longevity in itself, North American packaging machine-builders and their automation suppliers are continuing to commit large financial and human resources to proactive engineering and research-and-development (R&D) to gain a meaningful competitive edge over their current and future competition, as revealed in an informal recent survey of packaging OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) and their automation suppliers conducted by Canadian Packaging.

Winds of Change Manufacturing industrial conveyors since 1905, the Mason, Ohio-headquartered end-of-line packaging and material handling systems manufacturer Intelligrated has seen its share of trends and marketplace changes over the years—meeting the everevolving new challenges by continuously upgrading its engineering competence and technological know-how, as exemplified by the broad installation base of its popular Alvey range of automated, robotics-assisted palletizing systems. (Picture Above) “Our Alvey palletizers lead the industry in speed (more than 220 cases per minute), f lexibility and dependability for supporting around-the-clock 24/7 operations,” says Intelligrated’s senior director of international operations Martin Clark.

“Our Alvey palletizers can be configured for virtually any layer pattern, product packaging or container—including cases, shrinkpacks, totes, bales Continues on page 36

AUTOMATE NOW AUTOMATIC REACTIONS Continued from page 34

and trays—while our engineers work with clients to fully integrate our palletizers or palletizing systems their with existing conveyors or other material handling equipment.”

Having entered the palletizing market during the 1950s, Intelligrated made significant marketplace gains since the mid-1990s by integrating many of its existing conventional palletizing technologies with modern industrial robotics to develop complete, fully-integrated automatic turnkey systems for its fast-growing base of major CPG end-users.

According to the aforementioned GIA market study, “Packaging and palletizing robotic system witnessed a healthy increase of 100 per cent in the past decade”—a market windfall that helped Intelligrated build up an unrivaled knowledge base by working with the different robotic systems from by the world’s leading robot manufacturers.

Clark says the company’s ability to provide fullyintegrated, well-tested systems to its CPG customers, along with full after-sales technical support, helped it evolve into one of the world’s foremost end-of-line packaging system developers and integrators.

“We have the ability to integrate a wide variety of material handling components, including robotic arms from multiple manufacturers, as well as a variety of standard and custom end-of-arm tooling, innovative and proven software and controls such as PLCs (programmable logic controllers), operator interfaces, vision systems, and our now-standard IntelliGen pattern template software to provide the highest levels of functionality.

“We take full responsibility for our integrated robotic material handling systems, including system design, fabrication, installation, commissioning, and after-sales customer support,” says Clark, listing speed, throughput, reliability, quick changeovers and safety as key performance attributes demanded

by Intelligrated’s growing customer base.

States Clark: “Above all, we offer our customer a real ‘peace of mind’ that comes by working with the market leader in palletizing and robotic integration businesses, so that our customers can remain leaders in their respective industries.”

Mike Wilcox, vice-president of AMS (after-market sales) and marketing with the St. Paul, Minn.based Delkor Systems, a renowned manufacturer of automatic cartoning, case- and tray-packing systems and retail-ready packaging solutions, cites machine uptime and reliability as key issues among the company’s CPG end-users.

“The importance of optimizing line operation

36 • WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

for maximum efficiencies, fast and tool-less changeover, vertical startups, servo technology and further automation will continue to be the central theme in the CPG industry circles.” Wilcox says.

Grand Vision “From our perspective, another key development is the use of scanning and machine vision to monitor packaging f low, configuration, quality and location during operation, and managing out defects, or f lawed packages, without shutting the line down.

“This not only manages out defective packaging while running; it also detects problems that cause line downtime before they become downtime,” he says, stressing the importance of precisely understanding not only the current customer needs, but also the future requirements as well.

“From the perspective of packaging equipment design, it is all about managing the balance between modular design demands with monoblock design interests, which often creates a tug-of-war between competing needs.”

For Pierre-Jean Lajoie-Michaud, marketing coordinator of the Industrial Equipment Group unit of the Rivière-du-Loup, Que.-based machinebuilder and integrator Premier Tech, packaging line f lexibility is one of the biggest single capabilities demanded by his company’s end-use customers in the food-and-beverage industry sectors.

“With the rapid growth of multiple SKUs (stockkeeping units) and an accelerated fragmentation of product offerings to meet the needs of increasingly fragmented markets, f lexibility is a central consideration in the design of new packaging lines,” he says.

“Product types that offer a wide variety of f lavors and sizes—such as yogurt, cheese, cakes, cookies, cereals and rice—naturally necessitates increased f lexibility on packaging lines, which results in a

greater level of complexity requiring technologically-advanced solutions.

“That is exactly the sort of capability that Premier Tech Systems has to offer to the marketplace, says Lajoie-Michaud, citing the company’s recentlylaunched AR-200 Series robotic case-packer, operating with single or dual robots “to pick up different kinds of products (multipick) and randomly-oriented items before packing them into cases or any other rigid container. (Picture on page 38) “It a great way to allow customers improve their packaging efficiency and increase their ROI (return-on-investment),” he says, also citing workplace health-and-safety issues as an important factor in the drive to increased automation of packaging lines across more industries.

Paul Irvine, chief executive officer of the Torontobased packaging machinery manufacturer Plexpack Corporation, agrees. (Picture on right page 39) “Some of the important trends in customer requirements include increased safety features for the supplied equipment, value-added services from their suppliers, and standardization over common communication protocols,” he says.

so that every automated machine supplied by us includes a risk assessment and as minimum a Category 2 safety control system,” says Irvine.

“We are able to customize not only the size of the equipment, but also the automation solution to ensure that the new equipment ties into other stages of the production line easily, and provides familiar hardware to ease troubleshooting down the road.”

As Irvine explains: “The most common trend we have noted in the packaging industry today is the move from manual production methods to fullyautomatic processes and the need for increased safety protocols.

“Although these automatic processes are not new by any means, with the price-point of automation hardware decreasing drastically over the past years, we now see many smaller firms interested in the possible cost-savings that can be achieved through automation.”

Irvine says Plexpack has committed significant resources to expand its in-house engineering and maintenance expertise to respond to this promising new market niche.

“Our team will provide on-site training, integration and maintenance if required, reducing the risk most companies assume when installing equipment of this nature,” he says, “and our machinery is debugged-in-house and subjected to hours of continuous operation to evaluate its performance and reduce potential downtime at the customer’s site.”

Says Irvine: “Our company has changed from being a machine manufacturer to a supplier of turnkey production processes, as new market trends have driven us to design our machinery around the fact that companies want to use less human interaction in their processes, while increasing the safety measures taken to protect the operators they do still need.”

Because the finished packaging machine or line is ultimately only as good as the collective sum of its parts, using the right high-performance components, parts and subsystems to their maximum advantage early in machine design and building stages is key to successful and optimized machine operation, as well a improved TCO (total cost of ownership) performance.

“Given today’s economic challenges, reducing the ‘total cost of ownership’ has become a high priority for many manufacturers,” says John Danesh, national account manager with motion control specialists SEW-Eurodrive of Canada Ltd. in Brampton, Ont. “This means increases in operating efficiency, reduced changeover times, lower energy consumption, reduced overhead costs, reduced waste and increased productivity,” he explains.

Higher Aims “As the result of global competition, there has been more pressure on manufacturers to increase their level of automation in order to stay competitive with emerging countries.

“The increase in global competition has also forced manufacturers to become more innovative with their packaging,” says Danesh, citing rising

38 • WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

popularity of single-serve and ‘green’ packaging formats with better sustainability footprint.

“In the past, due to the complexity and cost, most packaging machines did not utilize robots or servo drives,” Danesh ref lects, “but control electronics and servo systems have come down significantly in price to open up many new application niches.

“Sophisticated electronic controllers are considerably more economical than they were in the past, and are also easier to use.”

One of Canada’s leading suppliers of industrial drives and motors to the Canadian packaging industry for over 20 years, the company’s comprehensive motion control portfolio—boasting the renowned SEW helical gearmotors, drive systems, motors and controls—has been widely embraced by leading manufacturers of packaging and labeling machines, conveyors, palletizers, automatic case-erectors and case-packers. (Pictures bottom of page 36) “Field-mounted electronics is the route for reducing total cost of ownership for end-users,” says Danesh, pointing to a sustained trend toward modular packaging lines—away from the traditional stand-alone packaging machinery.

“With modular design approach the controls are mounted on the machine in the field, rather than in stand-alone panels that have to be customdesigned and wired,” he explains.

“In the past, custom software in a PLC would control all aspects of the system, whereas today, the drive would be responsible for implementing the positioning using pre-written application modules, and the PLC would have a supervisory role just sending it targets, speeds and ramps,” he expands.

“This leads to much faster project turnaround, as well as less project software risk, by making use of tried-and-tested software modules.

“Modularization facilitates a reduction in custom engineering and its associated costs and risks,” says Danesh. “Systems need to be designed so that they are easy to reconfigure for new products without major expenses to the end-user.”

Craig Dahlquist, automation products leader with leading drives supplier Lenze Americas Corporation, Uxbridge, Mass.-based subsidiary of German industrial automation group Lenze AG, agrees. (Pictures top of page 36) “Automation technologies for packaging applications have taken tremendous strides over the past decade,” Dahlquist relates. ”Early motion control was often adapted from the automotive industry and customized for packaging or palletizing applications, with each axis or robot equipped with separate, proprietary programming controls.

“These articulated arms were usually costly, bulky, difficult to f loor-mount and oversized,” he recalls.

“In those early iterations, frequent jams and troubleshooting often required manual stops and intervention, as well as a programming engineer each time a new control box or product is introduced.”

Dahlquist explains: “Printing, converting, metalworking and other industries that have historically used automation and robotics do not typically require the same level of sophistication as is required in packaging applications.

“As automation technology has evolved, the challenge becomes how to create packaging machines that deliver rock-solid mechanical consistency, as

well as necessary f lexibility, without introducing new levels of complexity,” says Dahlquist, citing his company’s solid reputation as an expert in mechatronic systems, which combine the best-of-breed electronics and mechanical components to provide a high-performance automated packaging solution.

Power Trip “Drive-based technology will increasingly be a mainstay for machine-builders needing intelligent drives,” Dahlquist relates. “By communicating with the drives, a PLC provides a more sophisticated solution than a simple mechanical system with fixed machinery.

“Packaging motion control typically requires synchronized control of multiple axes and more complex motions,” he points out. “Intelligent controllers have enabled integration of packaging automation programming, with industry-wide modular standards—making it possible to break down machine concepts into function blocks.

“Open PLC standards comprise a range of motions and the ready transfer of motor control programming into new or retrofit machine operations, while template-based programming offers the ability to create different motion profiles that can be quickly integrated into the machinery, with the ability to blend and change functions without resorting to reengineering and manual reprogramming.”

Says Dahlquist: “As more SKUs are introduced into the automation environment, machine-builders must be able to meet the need for speed and f lexible changeovers.

“Manufacturing development cycles have shortened and so too, the timeto-market periods for packaging machinery,” Dahlquist points out.

“The onus falls on designers and machine-builders for specifying the best available motion control solutions, because redesigns due to machine design errors or product changes are always very costly.”

As the concerted global push for more sustainable manufacturing practices continues to gain momentum, energy efficiency has emerged as one of the hottest sustainability issues in packaging machinery, according to Roland Volk, energy efficiency consultant at Germanybased pneumatic systems specialist Festo AG & Co. KG. (Pictures above) “It is not possible to provide a simple answer to the question of whether a

pneumatic drive is more energy-efficient than an electric drive or vice-versa,” he says. “Energy efficiency in automation is dependent on the industrial application, or the purpose for which the drive is used.

“For a simple motion task, an electric drive is cheaper and more efficient, but if the application requires a holding force, pneumatics clearly offer an advantage,” explains Volk.

“The pneumatic drive benefits from the fact that it requires energy only for the brief moment in which pressure is built up, while the holding process itself can be carried out completely without any fresh compressed-air supply, thus eliminating all energy costs.

“The electric drive, on the other hand, requires electricity constantly in order to remain in the desired position,” Volk relates. “The longer the holding pro-

cess continues, the higher the energy consumption of the electric drive compared to the pneumatic drive.

“Ultimately, technologies can be properly compared only on the basis of the total cost-of-ownership (TCO), which takes into account both the acquisition costs and the energy costs.”

War on Waste

One of the more pronounced features of 21st Century packaging automation evolution has been the widespread, and long-predicted, adoption of advanced robotics and machine vision technologies that used to be out of financial reach of many small and medium-sized businesses.

“It is a completely different world from 10 years ago, when penetration of robotics into packaging was minimal—primarily limited to lower-speed case palletizing,” relates Tanya Proietti, marketing communications manager at FANUC Robotics Canada, Ltd. in Mississauga, Ont. “The drive toward higher levels of standardization in manufacturing is fueling broader adoption of robotics overall,” she says, pointing to the “emergence of focused robotic packaging system integrators” and increased system affordability.

“Faster speeds and vision advances will enable whole new classes of applications in the near future, while modern communications technologies will allow for seamless integration among control platforms, promoting easier and higher adoption of robotics,” Proietti predicts.

“Moreover, increased focus on sanitary designs— for both robots and system peripherals—will respond to the needs of the food industry in terms of consumer product safety, increasing demands for product traceability and sanitation.”

Since introducing its first purpose-built palletizing robot—model M-400 running on PalletMate PC software in DOS environment—in the late 1980s, FANUC Robotics has emerged as one of the world’s elite robotics manufacturers, serving a highly diverse global customer base. (Pictures on bottom of page 34) “Our original palletizing systems activity that was focused on the end-user community has transformed into an integrator-focused business serving a much wider range of industries and applications, Proietti relates.

“Today we have end customers from virtually all consumer and durable-goods sectors, who are using FANUC intelligent robot technology in their packaging operations.”

Clean Act According to Chris Follows, president of Propack Processing and Packaging Systems Inc. in Beamsville, Ont., the need for sanitary machine design is a crucial consideration for his company’s biggest clients in the baked-goods markets.

40 • WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

“With the increased importance of sanitary design, opportunities exist to simplify machine design which by the nature of the exercise will provide benefits to the end-user, with fewer parts and/or assemblies, which by definition improves OEE (overall equipment effectiveness).

“The ‘clean’ machine design has always been important, but within the industries we serve, the recent direction towards ‘sanitary’ machine design is making a big difference.

“We are seeing customers increase their awareness of sanitary design, while trying to determine whether the increased cost associated with such design is warranted,” relates Follows. “Many large customers seem to be accepting of the cost, while small- to mid-size companies are more wary of paying for something where the benefit is harder to quantify.

“Being focused on a narrow market segment allows us to best apply our extensive knowledge of our customers and their applications and how our equipment adds value to their operation,” he says.

“We do not attempt to be everything for everyone, but what we do, we do very, very well.

“Our LJ-Series of robotic loaders operate at the highest speeds and efficiencies available in our specific segment,” he says (pictures above), “and we have high f lexibility in machine design to meet specific application requirements.

“We provide advanced machinery for sophisticated applications that works,” Follows asserts.

According to John Lewis, market development manager with leading vision systems developer Cognex Corporation of Natick, Mass., machine vision is also becoming a much more commonplace sight on today’s packaging lines.

“Increasingly, food and pharmaceutical processors and packagers, as well as their equipment and materials suppliers, point to vision systems as a key technology for helping them achieve compliance in an increasingly regulatory environment,” Lewis relates.

“These technologies not only help packagers confirm that label and product match to lower the risk of any mandated product recall due to mislabeling,” he explains, “but also help and track lots, batches, and individual items through the supply chain to reduce the cost of recalls due to product contamination.

“And even beyond compliance, food and drug manufacturers have discovered real value in being able to stop counterfeiting, prevent parallel trade through unauthorized channels, and achieve greater

“The fact that there has been no dip in sustainability efforts has been a boon to Cognex because our vision systems not only help packagers, retailers and materials suppliers eliminate production errors and reduce manufacturing costs, but also help them meet their corporate sustainability goals,” Lewis explains. (Pictures below) “They use these vision systems to reduce defects and eliminate scrap, which minimizes manufacturing waste that would otherwise have to be disposed of.

“It’s really better for the environment to use machine vision, but it’s also better for the manufacturer because it reduces production costs by increasing manufacturing yields,” he states.

“For example, label, material and container suppliers use a lot of vision systems and image-based barcode readers, while suppliers of pre-printed labels, injection-molded bottles, f lexible films and cartonboard containers use vision to eliminate misprints and mix-up, while label converters use vision and image-based barcode readers to ensure code quality and data integrity on their serialized labels.”

Says Lewis: “Due to miniaturization and advances in the power of digital signal processors (DSPs), imaging sensors and decoding algorithms, traceability applications such as ID code reading, text verification, mark quality assessment, and label inspection can now be accomplished more economically using the latest generation of smart camera vision systems, which today offer advanced networking, communication capabilities and powerful factory integration tools.

“And with a standard operator interface for a common lookand-feel across all packaging lines and inspection points,” Lewis concludes, “many packagers and materials suppliers now consider smart camera vision systems and image-based barcode readers to be indispensable tools in their effort to build strategic information architectures more in line with their corporate sustainability goals.”

moVigear® Movigear® is distinguished by its high level of system efficiency, a significant factor in reducing energy costs. The integration and coordination of all the drive components lead to a long service life and system availability. Movigear® is an intelligent system with its own control concept.

Its high-quality networking helps reduce startup time and supports monitoring and maintenance tasks. When combined with a functional user software, drive tasks can be solved as quickly and easily as possible.

In many industries and applications, implementing economical automation concepts means utilizing decentralized systems throughout. Long rows of control cabinets with complex wiring, expansive space requirements and long distances between control cabinet and motors are too rigid and not very economical. Only the combination of flexible, versatile, economic and target-oriented modules will provide an efficient solution. This is the reason why system operators opting for decentralized drive systems from SEW-Eurodrive are always ahead of the game.

our Drive solution Pyramid.

moVitrac® lte B The range of functions provided by MOVITRAC® LTE B is particularly well adapted to less complicated applications. Its user-friendly design makes integration quick and easy, it also meets the high quality requirements of everyday requirements. The Movitrac® LTE B is also available in IP66/NEMA 4k making it suitable for special ambient conditions. These frequency inverters operate reliably and flexibly even when exposed to dust or water.

Psc Planetary servo gear units The low backlash PSC planetary servo gear units are designed for torque classes from 30 to 305 Nm. They are designed to offer the greatest possible flexibility and ROI, as not every application demands machines designed for maximum performance. These planetary servo gear units are the basis for versatile, dynamic, and above all cost optimized drive solutions.

moVitrac® ltx Simple, fast and diverse: as part of the Smart Servo Package, SEW-Eurodrive offers the new Movitrac® LTX servo inverter for universal use. It stands out with advantages such as ease of operation, short startup times as well as optimized costs. Available in two sizes and covers a power range from 750W to 5.5 kW. The Movitrac® LTX is particularly suitable for use in applications such as secondary packaging, handling, and logistics.

DecentralizeD control: moDular, flexiBle & economical

The demands on material handling systems today have never been more wide ranging or more challenging.

That’s why SEW-Eurodrive offers drive solutions for every kind of industry application. From the simple to the sophisticated, our pyramid of solutions allow you to control costs and limit complexity by giving you the ability to tailor our products to the exact intelligence and performance specs you require. Reducing energy consumption is also an important imperative today for the modern production line. Just ask Coca-Cola, who achieved a sensational 75% reduction in energy consumption by incorporating 40 of SEW-Eurodrives’s revolutionary decentralized MOVIgEAR® units in a recent overhaul of a European bottling plant transport line.

Domino's A320i ink jet printer offes a service free printer plus: (1) The operator interface is easy to use-just enter the job and go on to the next task. (2) Simplified display quickly puts the printer in action. (3)Its printhead stays clear of residual ink-you'll see lower ink costs.

The A420i's increased ink capability complements the general range of i-Tech inks, with a versatile range of Specialist and Custom ink offerings, such as specialist thermochromic ink for canning.

The key to the D-Series flexibility is a smaller i-Tech scan head, connected to the laser tube on a multi-position mount. The head can be rotated through 90 degree steps to allow for many mounting positions, and because it is so much smaller, it can easily fit where bigger lasers cannot.

GETTING A HANDLE ON REUSABLE PACKAGING

W

riting this column for the last few years has radically changed the way I shop for groceries. Instead of quickly filling my cart with the items on my list, I now find myself perusing the aisles looking for uniquely packaged products with a nice eco-friendly dimension to help me cope with any ‘green guilt’ fallout. But while it feels like I’m doing the right thing, my home recycling bin has been overwhelmed in recent months with all the extra recyclable packaging I’ve been bringing in from shopping. To stem the tide, I recently adjusted my shopping focus to selecting products with reusable packaging that does not have to be discarded right after finishing off the contents inside.

Custom-made for Richstone Fine Foods Ltd. of Concord, Ont., the 450-ml glass antipasto jars—used to package the company’s f lavorful deli delights like Delfino Cacciatore Dry Sausage, hot and mild, and stuffed pepper shooters—are armed with real-size handles that turn the 450-ml containers into very functional, oddly charming, and conveniently mobile drinking vessels. Boasting snug screw-top lids to make sure none of the contents escape in a messy spill, they have already proven to be an excellent glassware choice around our household for a few expertly-mixed Bloody Caesar cocktails—earning the packaging a useful second life and sparing it from the recycling loop. Moreover, the highly informative decorative labels attached to the front and back—loaded with interesting tidbits about the company’s bold anti-

pasto creations—easily peel off the glass with no soaking or scraping required.

Ditto for the reusable 270-ml glass carafes used to package the Braswell’s Italian Dressing and Marinade brand, which keeps product labeling to bare minimum—just to list the ingredients and nutrition facts—by having the company’s name and logo embossed directly into the glass itself, along with a 0.25-liter measuring line around the neck for easy future reference. Produced in Statesboro, Ga., the carafe comes with a small gift card—attached with an elastic color band—congratulating consumers on the purchase and reiterating the company’s commitment to using fashionable and reusable packaging for all its products, along with the website address.

Making a classy statement about Brasswell Food Co.’s obsession with high product quality, the elegant container is an excellent gift idea for all the environmentally-conscious foodies out there.

Packaged in pints by family-owned greenhouse operator Mastronardi Produce Ltd. in Kingsville, Ont., under the company’s SUNSET label, the ZIMA Seriously Sweet Tomatoes provide a fresh break from the ordinary by literally f lipping traditional pint packaging—open-top cardboard or lidded thinwall plastic squares—on its head.

serves as the base of the package, the bite-sized cherry tomatoes are easily inspected through the clear plastic for any blemishes or imperfections, and quickly retrieved from the air-hole vented package by lifting the tab of the colorful top-lid label to peel it back just enough to get your fingers inside. A gentle press of the label back into place securely reseals the remaining sweet little things still inside for later enjoyment.

It looks like the sun is really setting on jarred baby foods, as evidenced by Heinz Canada’s recent introduction of 178-gram resealable f lexible pouches that provide a vastly more lightweight packaging alternative to the traditional glass baby-food jars.

Outfitted with childproof screwcaps to prevent spills and maintain the freshness of leftover product, the Heinz Baby Food in a Pouch package also eliminates the need to use a serving bowl because you can simply squeeze the contents right on the spoon at feeding time, while its stand-up structural design allows you to safely set it aside without worrying about spillage. But for all these undeniable functional advantages, I feel a certain loss of romance with the disappearance of old-school glass jars, which I would reuse repeatedly to full effect in the past to store home-made baby foods, small snacks, leftover sauces, etc. You just can’t do anything like that with these disposable pouches and, moreover, finding any small-sized food storage containers not made out of plastic these days is getting trickier all the time.
