Barry Callebaut focuses on the BEUMER packaging line:

HIGH-QUALITY END-OF-LINE PACKAGING SOLUTION PROTECTS COCOA POWDER

The packaging system at a glance: as general contractor, BEUMER Corporation has installed a complete packaging system, conveying systems and a bagging system.

B

arry Callebaut, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of cocoa and chocolate products, required a packaging system at its Eddystone, PA facility that ensured safe transport of the cocoa powder filled in paper bags and stacked on pallets.

The packaging of the bag stacks must combine low packaging costs with sufficient weather protection and high stack stability during transport and storage especially when the paper bags are stacked on pallets of two different sizes.

Barry Callebaut engaged BEUMER to develop an end-of-line packaging system for these specific requirements.

Barry Callebaut AG with headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland is a fully integrated company that masters nearly all steps from the sourcing of cocoa beans right up to the finished products sold on store shelves. As supplier of industrial and specialty chocolates, the company serves industrial and artisanal customers. The American subsidiary in Eddystone fills bags with cocoa powder, pal-

letises and packages them. The bags are then loaded into containers or trucks and transported to distributors such as chocolatiers, pastry chefs or bakeries in North America or Europe.

baut and BEUMER already cooperated successfully for a French facility. For this reason, the manufacturer of cocoa and chocolate products once again engaged the intralogistic specialist.

High requirements for the packaging system To ensure that the cocoa powder arrives to customers in perfect condition, it must be transported in a safe and protected manner. For this reason, the packaging system must work at a high performance level. The goals for Barry Callebaut were to increase automation and thus process reliability, improve the product presentation and use less packaging material. In addition, the packaging had to be able to protect the cocoa powder against high temperature and air humidity. As both the Euro pallet (800 mm x 1,200 mm) and the GMA pallet (Grocery Manufacturers of America) (1,015 mm x 1,215 mm) are used, the packaging system must be customisable for different pallet sizes. Barry Calle-

Modernisation of the packaging line As general contractor, BEUMER Corporation in Branchburg, New Jersey (USA) installed a complete packaging system, various conveying systems as well as a bagging system. With partner Behn + Bates America, a division of Haver Filling System, Inc., BEUMER equipped the line with the Integra system, a fully automated, completely premounted bagging system for bulk materials in the food industry. This system fills bags with cocoa powder and seals them. As part of the quality control process, the BEUMER belt conveyors transport the bags to a metal detector and a checkweigher.

Here, bags containing metal or over- and underweight bags are rejected. After the palletising process, the stack press removes residual air from the bags, thus

8

increasing the stack stability. When designing the packaging line, the handling of different batches on different-sized pallets was one of the challenges. For this reason the high-capacity BEUMER robotpac was installed providing excellent stack quality and load stability.

Commissioning of the high-capacity packaging system The innovative BEUMER stretch hood is also part of the scope of supply. This high-capacity packaging system pulls a stretch hood over the palletised bag stack to protect the products against wind, rain and dust while providing ultimate safety during transport. The bag stack is completely packaged and transported to the take-away post. Thanks to the permanent tension force of the film in vertical and horizontal direction, the bag stack provides high stability - even if the cocoa powder settles in the bags, thus reducing the bag volume. Sensors on the BEUMER stretch hood measure the height of the pallet. This automation allows for the calculation of different stacking heights as well as the optimisation of film consumption. The film is then cut and sealed. The formed hood is pulled over the complete bag stack forming a stable unit.

More safety and less film consumption Since the modernisation, the workflow at Barry Callebaut’s packaging facility runs without any problems. The products are protected against wind, rain and dust. Besides the packaging capacity, the stretch hood technology provides improved visibility of the palletised products thanks to the smooth surface of the film hood. The material costs for packaging have been reduced since five to ten per cent less material is required, making this solution not only more cost effective for Barry Callebaut but an important contribution toward safeguarding the environment. www.beumergroup.com

Packaging line of the year In 2009 Barry Callebaut LLC became the fifth recipient of PMT’s annual Packaging Line of the Year Award for its endof-line packaging solution. Companies from the packaging industry, which use innovative and sophisticated packaging lines, are awarded with this prize. The award-winning packaging line designed by BEUMER and Behn + Bates is an example for good cooperation with suppliers worldwide. The result is pioneering technology, environmental consideration and innovative design. Barry Callebaut LLC accepted the award at a special conference at PACK EXPO in Las Vegas. Organiser and sponsor of the prize is the Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute (PMMI).

This organisation consists of more than 540 companies, which manufacture packaging systems and packaging-related machines in the United States and Canada.

API FOIL ANSWERS HOPES & DREAMS OF SATIRICAL NEW BOURBON

A

hot stamping foil from brand enhancement specialist API is adding texture and sophistication to the bottle of a unique new bourbon. Hopes & Dreams, which wittily satirises stereotypical handcrafted whiskey marketing in its promotion, features API Copper Kettle foil on its vintage label.

Differentiating itself from other bourbon brands, Hopes & Dreams publicises itself with such underwhelming pull-quotes as ‘Meh’ and ‘It’s good… enough’, and is squarely aimed at millennials, as well as any whiskey drinkers who don’t take themselves too seriously.

On the drink’s attractive Wild Weststyle label, the API hot stamping foil creates a subtly luxurious feel.

It forms the ‘Hopes & Dreams’ lettering, provides a double-line trim around the perimeter, and adds

gleam to two sardonic seals of approval that, upon close inspection, boast ‘Unlimited release’.

“I selected the Copper Kettle foil because of its stand-out, gorgeous tone, which had an authenticity that paired nicely with the label design,” says Chad Michael, whose studio designed the label.

“As the entire brand is about a ‘boilerplate’ bourbon that has been ‘machine-crafted’, the glamour of the foil might seem ironic – but of course, even a satirical bottle has to look great.”

The foil is printed onto the label by Clove St. Press using an Original Heidelberg press and a copper plate.

“The printer told us the API foil laid down beautifully against our rather toothy paperstock selection,” continues Chad. “From start to finish, the whole job ran very smoothly, with no setbacks encountered, which is testament to the quality of API’s service and product.”

Based in Dallas, Texas, Chad Michael Studio specialises in unique branding, package design, and product innovation. Chad Michael has received numerous accolades since the studio opened in 2014, including Awards of Excellence from Communication Arts magazine, and is a recent recipient of the Young Gun 15 award. www.apigroup.com

AT2E, QUALITY CONTROL EQUIPMENT FOR PACKAGING

A

T2E has been developing quality control equipment for packaging since 1989.

Since then, it has served hundreds of customers around the world in the beverage, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and industrial/scientific industries. Its clients include the leading companies in their respective fields such as Coca Cola, Nestlé, L’Oréal, Pfizer, Procter and Gamble, Intel, and others.

Based in the village of Pontcarré, just outside of Paris, France, AT2E has grown over the years to cover all the regions of the world, with a fast-growing presence in North and South America. Committed to designing the most cutting-edge technologies in packaging quality control, AT2E has developed dozens of proven machines over the years.

AT2E’s quality control products include torque testers, leak and seal testers, vacuum and pressure testers, crown and cap testers, burst testers, as well as machines that determine enamel rating, can measurements, force measurements (compression and dynamometers), CO2 measurements, stress applications, and dimensional measurements.

One of the most important points of AT2E’s philosophy is to seek feedback from its customers to re-design and improve its existing product lines. Recently, AT2E has launched its updated Touchscreen Electronic Torque Tester, the TMV7. The unit is widely used for testing the amount of torque necessary to open a bottle cap while negating most non-

CO2-CS | Automatic CO2 Calculating Machine coaxial and top-load influences on the measurement. The seventh iteration of the popular TMV torque tester line, it features improvements such as an enhanced sensor for even higher accuracy levels, sample stability improvements, and a higher resolution display.

For customers interested in an even simpler and more accurate torquetesting solution, the ADATMV-ECO and ADATMV5 systems provide semi-automatic and automatic measurements, respectively, both

of which comply with the FDA –CFR 21-11 requirements. With adjustable rotating speeds and a touchscreen display, the units also allow for storing products and operators in the memory for more efficient operation.

AT2E also offers solutions for torque testing on the production line itself.

The ADATMV5-S, built directly onto the line, offers operator-free torque testing (and optional bubble point control). With dozens of customizable features, the ADATMV5-S is

designed to fit the samples’ specifications and the client’s particular quality assurance needs.

Another popular device by AT2E is the Hot Wire Bottle Cutter system. The unit is used to cut cross-sections of PET bottles to accurately determine whether the bottle has been blown properly and to ensure that every section matches the predetermined range. AT2E has developed two versions, the HWBC-1 and HWBC-2. The former is manually operated with a handle to press the hot wires down to cut the bottle. The HWBC-2 is fully automatic and completely enclosed

to avoid operator influence on the measurement and to ensure the fumes are directed away from the operator. Each unit is custom-built to the sample’s specifications.

Vacuum testing is another area in which AT2E’s products excel. Its VLT series of vacuum boxes is used around the world to measure a product’s leak points. Made with transparent PMMA polished acrylic, the Vacuum Leak Tester (VLT) is rugged and ready to hold vacuums down to -999 mb. With the clamp pressure option included, it can even be pressurized up to 1 bar. AT2E has developed three versions of its VLT systems: VLT-ECO, VLT-ST, and VLT-PLC. All the systems are built to spec and come in various sizes. The ECO system is controlled manually via a 3-direction valve while the ST and PLC versions come with a touchscreen control box that allows the operator to pull and hold vacuums. They are capable of storing product information and measurements, as well as operator preferences, for maximum efficiency and replicability. For extremely accurate thickness measurements, AT2E has designed its AMTG2, the Accurate Magnetic Thickness Gauge. Using a small steel ball and probe, the AMTG-2 can measure non-magnetic material up to 8 mm in thickness, with a resolution of 0.001 mm. Through the Hall Effect method, the ball and probe system offers a reliable, precise, and efficient measurement solution for packaging, allowing the user to find deformities and weaknesses in a sample. Other thickness measurement devices include the Preform Thickness Gauge (PTG-D) and the Glass Bottle Wall Thickness Gauge (BTG-D).

AT2E has also developed a system for the quality control of doubleseam cans. SeamCheck, its Automatic Double Seam Projector, helps with the critical process of inspect-

ing a can’s seam length, body hook length, end hook length, overlap, seam gap, overlap rate, body hook lapping rate, end hook lapping rate, and seam thickness. With some additional equipment, the measurements can be extended even further and with a higher accuracy.

With satisfied companies around the world using AT2E’s packaging quality assurance technologies every day, AT2E is constantly working to improve its existing products, develop new techniques for precision testing, and provide useful support and guidance to prospective and current clients. www.at2e.com

MAKING THE IMPOSSIBLE PACKABLE At booth E10221 at the pack Expo Chicago exhibits CPS Case packing Systems the new CLP case packer to pack MAP trays at high speed in carton trays.

T

he in-feed system is even capable of turning products, or leaving them in their original orientation, with a huge variety of packing patterns as a result.

The pick-up head grasps the Map tray, punnets or other products.

The retracting conveyor under the products opens and the P&P head places a complete layer of products in the box, crate or carton tray, placing the products in the product carrier only involves a downward movement. The system offers extreme levels of reliability in combination with high capacity because each complete layer is placed in a single operation. The P&P head operates at a relatively low speed, meaning that fragile products can also be packed without problems.

The CLP shown at the Pack Expo exhibition is packing live Map trays in a carton tray at the booth. The Map trays will be loaded using an articulating head. This gives us the opportunity to place the trays under the stacking shoulders of the carton tray. After picking up a complete layer of trays, the trays will be placed under an angle by the articulating head during the downward movement to the carton tray and placed under the stacking shoulders of the carton tray.

Because of the dimensions of the Map trays and carton tray is it possibly to make any packing pattern in more than one layer in the carton on customers request.

Beside that the CLP case packer is executed with a vision system which reads the QR codes at the MAP tray. The information hidden

in the code has a lot of opportunities. The information can collected or transmitted to upper layer software systems for management purposes or other packing machines downstream the line. This improves the traceability enormously and increases the food safety in the future.

Our present product range includes casepackers to pack flexible, semi flexible or solid products (bags or trays) horizontal as well as vertical into corrugated trays, reusable plastic trays and corrugated American cases. In recent years the different industries place heavy demands for improving food safety, machine performance and reliability of the casepacker lines.

With our range of casepackers we meet these requirements with high

capacity, lower investments costs, reduced packaging costs and an over all improved load stability and display effect for optimum branding of the products at the retailer.

Integrated tailor made software solutions provide the information necessary to allow our customers to improve all aspects of the end of line packaging casepacker system. Many different combinations options enable the customer to be supplied a tailor made casepacker line. CPS Case Packing Systems can supplied a solution, no matter what the requirements and whether the product is fresh, frozen, pasty or liquid.

Since 1988 CPS Case Packing Systems situated in Stramproy Holland has been one of the leading companies in the field of the de-

CPS Case Packing Systems innovates and develops individual solutions helping customers to achieve their performance goals in a very competitive marketplace.

CPS has focused on fully automatic case packing systems with a special emphasis on flexible products and trays. CPS is uniquely proficient in packing products of this type rapidly and efficiently. And there are other benefits as well.

CPS machines pack products more compactly than is possible by hand and therefore achieve substantial cost savings. Packing in shelfready boxes has also become an important aspect. CPS uses this expertise and experience to produce high-quality case packers.

Flexible bags, MAP trays or flowpacks in all shapes and sizes are packed fully automatically and at high speed in RSC boxes, cardboard trays, crates and even pallet boxes and wheeled containers. In order to supply customer-specific case packer lines, CPS integrates X-ray scanners, metal detectors,

checkweighers, coding systems and case erectors in its case packing systems. The total case packer line, ranging from the complete product and box supply systems, possibly including merging and buffer systems, to final discharge of the sealed box, is designed and constructed by CPS in house CPS currently produces a complete range of professional case packers.

Making the Impossible Packable!

CPS is in the USA is very strong in packing (frozen) French fries. Simplot Boise, Idaho have 6 lines to pack French fries at high speed either horizontal as vertical in one machine. The CPSL gravity and sideloader case packer has been specifically developed for horizontally and vertically packing deep-frozen products in boxes at high speed, in combination with a highly compact footprint. Typical products include frozen French fries, vegetables, meat and fish. Our CPSL and CP201 case packer is capable of greater kg/m3 packing performance than any other machine. This is done in accordance with pre-programmed packing patterns..

ISHIDA FLEXIBILITY HANDLES OVER 1,000 PRODUCTS

I

shida multihead weighing and checkweighing technology, supported by the company’s IDCS II advanced checkweigher data capture system, are helping to deliver speed and accuracy and boost productivity for around 1,000 different mushroom products at leading German supplier Bayerische Pilze & Waldfrüchte Uwe Niklas GmbH.

While the weighers deliver an output of up to 3,000 packs per hour, their primary benefit, according to managing director Uwe Niklas, is their excellent weighing accuracy to a maximum of 0.1g above the nominal weight. “One kilogram of our dried product costs up to €300, so obviously we need to be precise during filling,” he explains.

Ishida’s latest generation DACS-G checkweighers provide effective quality control at the end of the packing lines, with their wide weighing range and quick format changes ideal for Niklas’s requirements.

The company operates five packing lines, all featuring Ishida multihead weighers, handling a range of fresh, frozen and dried mushrooms packed into sealed trays, polybags and plastic cups with screw tops, at weights from 5g to 2.5kg.

The weighers have been adapted for the many different applications and product types. Surfaces with corrugated sheet metal, for example, allow difficult processing of dried mushrooms cut into large slices, while gentle discharge chute angles and short product fall distances through the weighers allow the handling of the most delicate mushrooms In view of the enormous variety of products offered by Niklas, it is crucial that the company’s packing systems are flexible. The manufacturer also handles many small orders, such as gourmet items where a production run usually lasts for only half a day. The simple and quick set-up of the Ishida weighers and their easy-clean, hygiene-friendly design ensure changeovers can be carried out very speedily.

The checkweighers feature a high-speed load cell with an accuracy of 0.2 grams, while a special anti-floor vibration system compensates for any external floor vibrations. The extremely robust machines also have a function that automatically disconnects the weigh sensor from the belt in the event of disturbances from outside. Integrated metal detectors offer protection against foreign bodies.

Equally important, the checkweighers are able to collect valuable production data such as downtime, product giveaway, performance and quality, using Ishida’s

pioneering IDCS II (Ishida Data Capture System). The data for each individual pack can be analysed and shown on graphs or in tables based on product batches, shifts, operators, products, machines or lines. Displays and reports are user-defined and adaptable, with the parameters accessed online at any time during ongoing production, and monitored in real time. Information is also available via mobile devices. IDCS II is compatible with systems such as SAP or SCADA, and data transfer can be carried out without any problems in programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel and Adobe PDF. “The IDCS II software is a small investment that has brought a large benefit, as it directly increases our productivity,” says Uwe Niklas. “We regard the overall package with checkweighers and data analysis as an important control function for our head of production, which is very informative from a business management point of view. If the values are not satisfactory, we will immediately make the appropriate adjustments, implement changes to the settings and carry out maintenance work or arrange training.”

Ishida has worked with Bayerische Pilze & Waldfrüchte Uwe Niklas GmbH since the installation of the company’s first multihead weigher in 1999. www.ishidaeurope.com/eu/en/ products/multihead_weighing_ machines/multi_head_weighers/

High-speed solutions for confectionery sector

T

he increasing speed of production of process lines and in primary packaging machines (typically flow pack) in the confectionery sector, is a constant challenge that our company has to deal with. A task made even more onerous by the nature of the products, which are often fragile and need to be treated with extreme caution to prevent them from reaching damaged the final consumer, thus creating an image damage to the costumers companies.

Ready to respond to the needs of the market, M.H. Material Handling SpA has developed in recent years advanced systems to manage the products output from the primary packaging machines; in order to unify them on a single line, or split them on multiple tracks, depending on the chosen solution for secondary packaging.

currently able to manage over 400 pieces per minute.

The unification of the group presented by MH is designed to be interposed between two or more primary packaging machines and a secondary packaging machine.

Each track input is constituted by 2 or 3 conveyors with medium friction belt driven by brushless motors, the number varies depending on the speed required by the output line; increasing the speed, can be necessary the use of vacuum aspiration systems to avoid the slipping of the products on the belts during the acceleration phase.

The purpose of these transporters is to ensure the proper phasing of

Recently, MH has presented two new systems, one sorter and one merger, in order to overcome the already high production rates achieved in the past: the new devices are able to handle production capacities of up to 600 products per minute on single row, 150 mm long, corresponding to a nominal speed of 90 m/min.

Merging groups The unification groups are an essential accessory when the secondary packaging machine is a Racetrack type with a robotic arm for multiple picking up. The best machines available on the market are

incoming products so that they cannot collide with each other on the subsequent unification tape. The unification conveyor is a further conveyor belt where the products are carried in a single row using one or two guides posed like a funnel.

At the speeds provided it is necessary to overcome the concept of the fixed guide, as any slowdown of products in contact with the guide would result in a loss of timing and risk of interlocking. Event that with high production cadence that would have catastrophic effects and would lead to immediately block of the upstream machines.

For this reason, the chosen solution is to replace the fixed guides with

weighing

motorized vertical belt conveyors that they can adapt the speed to that of the underlying tape.

The system is designed to unify the incoming productions from two lines into single row with products about 150 mm long at a rate of 300 ppm for each row: the result is a final output of 600 ppm on a single row; the actual output speed of the products by the system is between 110 and 140 m/min, depending on the characteristics of the products and the needs of the downstream secondary packaging machine.

The machine is manufactured with the highest construction standards, the phaser conveyors are equipped with easy-change system without tools.

The standard control system is a Siemens PLC with color operator panel, as well as inverters, brushless and related drives are Keb or Elau, gearboxes and asynchronous are SEW. On request, it is possible to install Rockwell Allen-Bradley electronic.

An important feature that distinguishes the MH compared to other systems on the market is the ability to control the output step of the products to obtain a regular cadence. Conversely, many competitors offer a management of the products in trains, in fact forcing a complete re-phase of the products before entering the secondary machine, with consequent increase of costs.

MH has recently acquired a major order for a leading manufacturer in the confectionery industry in the Middle East. The supply comprises three merger systems 2 in 1 and a merger system 3 in 1 accompanied by all the connection conveyors with

the flowpack machines upstream of the system.

Sorter groups In the case where the solution chosen for the secondary packaging is the multi robot type with a vision system, the need is to direct the products on multiple lines from the output of the primary packaging machines.

MH offers a wide range of solutions, from a mobile channel systems to those multi paddle, all moved by brushless motors.

The novelty is constituted by a discontinuous movable guide system.

The group consists of a battery of two phasing blet conveyors controlled by brushless motors, which step in a regular manner the products directed to the conveyor on which the sorting occurs.

The division from 1 to 2 lines is performed using a motorized vertical belt conveyor, superimposed on the sorting conveyor, on which are mounted some flights with the required length that, on alternate paces, accompany the products towards the outside track. As the shift occurs gradually and at the same speed of the underlying belt, there are no strong stresses on the product and the system is particularly suitable for fragile products.

Even in this case, as for the mergers, the cadence of the products at the exit of the machine it is guaranteed and does not require another phase before the secondary packaging machines.

The production speed reached are identical to those already mentioned for the mergers.

MULTIVAC takes over the slicer division of VC999

EXPANSION OF LINE EXPERTISE MOVES AHEAD RAPIDLY

W

ith effect from 1 December 2017, MULTIVAC Sepp Haggenmüller SE & Co. KG will take over the slicing activities of VC999. Thanks to this further strategically important step in the direction of “Better Processing”, the packaging specialist is now in a position to be able to offer complete packaging lines for sliced products such as cheese, sliced meats and ham from one single source.

The slicer division of VC999 is a comparatively young business unit, founded just five years ago as part of the VC999 company, which has been operating successfully for many years in the packaging machine sector. The slicer divi-sion manufactures state-of-the-art slicer solutions for use on an industrial scale, which meet the highest hygiene requirements and have a modular design. VC999 has decided for strategic reasons to divest itself of this business unit.

After the takeover has been completed, MULTIVAC will continue to use the current VC999 slicer production site at Buchenau (Dautphetal) as the Devel-opment Center and manufacturing location for prototypes. The mass produc-tion of slicers will take place at MULTIVAC’s headquarters in Wolfertschwenden. Extensive investment for this in a highly modern produc-tion site is currently being planned, and this will include a state-of-the-art facil-ity for application technology. With immediate effect, complete slicer lines will also be available at the Wolfertschwenden site for carrying out customer trials.

Slicer lines in all output categories The acquisition is an important step for

MULTIVAC in the slicer sector. It means that MULTIVAC is now able to offer its customers complete slicing and packaging lines in all output categories. To round off the slicer range, MULTI-VAC has recently completed further strategic alliances with industrial part-ners. The BIZERBA slicer portfolio in the smaller output range has been part of the MULTIVAC Group’s offer worldwide in recent times, and this range of slic-ers perfectly complements the Group’s portfolio of packaging machines for the production of small and medium-sized batches.

In order to meet the re-quirements in the high-output sector, MULTIVAC will in future market FORMAX slicers from PROVISUR in selected regions.

Worldwide sales and application support The step into slicing is not new territory for MULTIVAC, since the MULTIVAC organisation has many years of experience in the sales and service of similar products. This will enable the Group to ensure that sufficient sales and service capacity, as well as a comprehensive supply of spare parts, will be provided for the range of slicers in all the relevant markets. This also applies of course to all the partner products.

A MOMBRINI PRODUCTION

The Fratelli Faccia slaughterhouse in Ceva (CN)

T

he brand-new Fratelli Faccia slaughterhouse in Ceva extends for 15,000m2 and includes a 7,000m2 indoor space. The factory’s floor was entirely realized by a company based in Caravaggio (BG) named Mombrini, for many years the undisputed leader in the manufacture of flooring for the food industry.

In the meat processing industry, the choice of an adequate floor is crucial for carrying out the work smoothly.

In these factories it is particularly important that the floor does not become slippery during the processing of the meat and can be easily washed. When several livestock units arrive at the slaughterhouse every

hour, the need for a safe, clean and fast slaughtering process is well understood. The staff who carries out the various steps of the work must be able to move around without worrying about slippery floors, especially in the slaughter room. Furthermore, the floor must be cleaned perfectly and quickly at the end of the work.

The Klinker floor with epoxy resin sealing is certainly the best choice in this context.

In the slaughter room, capable of processing 50,000 livestock units every year, the flooring plays a vital role, especially at the upper floor. Here, cattle from the whole Piedmont plain area arrive, mostly belonging to the breeds Piemontese cattle, Blonde

Insbesondere im Bereich der Fleischverarbeitung ist die Wahl des richtigen Bodenbelags von größter Bedeutung, weil nur so die Arbeit reibungslos durchgeführt werden kann.

In diesen Betrieben ist eine der wichtigsten Anforderungen, dass der Bodenbelag in den verschiedenen Stadien der Verarbeitung rutschsicher

und abwaschbar ist. Wenn innerhalb von ein paar Stunden in einem Schlachthof Hunderte von Rindern zusammeströmen, dann kann man verstehen, dass der Schlachtzyklus sicher, hygienisch und schnell ausgeführt werden muss. Die an den verschiedenen Phasen der Verarbeitung beteiligten Mitarbeiter, vor allem im Schlachtraum, müssen sich sicher, dass sie sich ohne die Gefahr des Aus- oder Abrutschens bewegen können. Und, genauso wichtig, am Arbeitsende muss sich der Boden schnell und sauber reinigen lassen.

Der Boden aus Klinker, mit Epoxidharz, erfüllt zweifellos am besten beide Anforderungen. Im Schlachtraum,

in dem 50.000 Einheiten/Jahr bearbeitet werden, ist der Bodenbelag von entscheidender Bedeutung, vor allem in der oberen Etage, wo die Viehherden zusammen kommen, die aus der piemontesischen Ebene stammen und deren Hauptrassen folgende sind: Piemontese, Blonde d’Aquitaine, Limousine, Charolaise und deren Kreuzungen.

Die Fotos zeigen hier deutlich, dass vor allem im Schlachtraum, der Reinigungsvorgang absolut keine triviale Angelegenheit ist: Der Bodenbelag von Mombrini - dank des eigens entwickelten Reinigungs-Kits - wird nach jedem Arbeitszyklus in kurzer Zeit wieder wie neu.

SMI GROUP MAI DUBAI LLC

M

ai Dubai LLC is a new, exciting and daring commercial initiative in the mineral water bottling sector and launched its production business at the beginning of 2014. This new company’s goal is to quickly reach positions of primary importance in the industrial reference overview.

For this reason Mai Dubai LLC is planning major investments in technology and people, which will enable it to obtain a product that will live up to the reputation of the brand that produces it.

Dubai is one of the richest cities in the world, where glitz coexists with tradition and skyscrapers overlook the desert. Dubai is the city of greatness and challenges. This is why DEWA (acronym for Dubai Electricity

& Water Authority) – decided to build a plant from scratch to bottle drinking water, for the production of 12,000 bottles per hour. The development of the entire project, which was named Mai Dubai, was entrusted to the SMI Group in San Giovanni Bianco (Italy) as sole supplier. The task entrusted to SMI designers soon turned into a big challenge: to design, implement and install a complete turnkey system comprising the entire process, filling, storage & distribution technology as well as all the relating management and control systems. SMI proposed itself as the sole supplier to handle all the major stages regarding the design and construction of the plant, with the primary objective of providing a first-class product and demonstrating its technical and managerial skills to the customer.

Three production lines for three market needs The agreement between DEWA and SMI was signed in 2013 after a long selection process that took place through a bid issued by the Emirates. In the end, the latter deemed that SMI was the supplier that best reflected the qualitative, economic and technological characteristics required by the invitation to tender.

The turnkey solution proposed by SMI for Mai Dubai also includes, besides the actual bottling plant, all the ancillary equipment necessary to run the production lines, from the desalinated water treatment system to the palletizing of the finished packs. With this new investment, Mai Dubai Water aims to become one of the leading companies in this

sector. The company’s goal is to win significant market shares both from the private consumer – to which the 12,000 bph PET line is dedicated for the bottling and packaging of 1.5-liter, 0.5-liter and 0.33-liter PET bottles – and from the industry and service sector – to which the production of bottled water in 5-gallon containers is intended. Finally, Mai Dubai also aims at the airlines’ niche sector through the production of the line that packages water in small plastic cups. ”Blue gold”: an important source of wealth The production of drinking water is undoubtedly the biggest challenge for a place like Dubai, which does not have a river system and has limited rainfall; challenge that DEWA decided to face, to expand in the promising market for the production and bottling of the so-called “blue gold”.

The Mai Dubai project is part of a broader strategic vision of the company’s mission of providing products and services of high quality.

Desalinated water is now the main source of drinking water in the United Arab Emirates, the demand for which is growing rapidly, and therefore requires massive investment in advanced systems and technologies. Since sea water is desalinated using special equipment owned by the customer, SMI’s supply begins from the treatment that makes desalinated water potable and ends with the palletizing of the finished packs, ready to be distributed and sold on the market.

“Customer priorities: meeting deadlines and quality excellence” Mai Dubai commissioned SMI both for the technical design of the bot-

tling line and the construction of the plant that houses the line, supervised by the SMI Group’s QHSE (Quality, Health, Safety & Environment).

The priorities highlighted by the company in the bid mainly concerned the timing involved in the implementation and start-up of the new production lines as well as the technological content of the machinery making up these lines; all this to achieve a state-of-the-art plant in the UAE that would ensure constant and efficient production flows of excellent quality in all three bottling lines installed in the new plant of 22.123 m².

TECNOPOOL, THE BEST CHOICE

T

he story of Tecnopool is one born out from a big idea: design, manufacture and installation of machinery for the treatment and processing of food products.

A story that began in 1980 with the patenting of Anaconda: the first conveyor belt conceived by the company’s founder, Leopoldo Lago. A winning and above all versatile product, suitable for all manufacturing processes where food products need to be thermally treated.

It was the beginning of a success story that has never stopped, as the results achieved in the last 30 years have been testifying: growth of sales, an increasingly widespread presence on foreign markets, and an ongoing evolution of the products. The story of Tecnopool began in Padua, but today that story has crossed domestic boundaries to be told all over the world. From deep-freezing to cooling, from pasteurizing to proofing, from product handling all the way to baking and frying, the term flexibility goes hand in hand with all Tecnopool solutions.

Before developing a plant, Tecnopool thinks of those who will use it, because flexibility for it is not only a

mental factor, it’s above all a work approach. This is precisely the purpose of its design office: it helps to establish an exclusive relationship with the customers, based on straightforwardness, clarity and competence.

A relationship built on the meeting and exchanging of ideas that starts early in the planning phase and ends with the construction of the system.

This is how Tecnopool develops plants that are truly customized for each customer and for every type of space, plants that guarantee the maximum in terms of productivity and the minimum in terms of maintenance.

The versatility of Tecnopool plants is proven by the sectors in which it is applied: it’s no coincidence that its technology is often behind the processing of a food product.

Freezing The know-how Tecnopool has acquired allows it to guarantee a method that is absolutely avant-garde for the treatment of packaged or bulk food products, which are conveyed on belt and deep-frozen in cabinets that have insulated walls with variable thickness.

Cooling A system designed for two types of cooling: Ambient and with forced air in room. It is precisely this flexibility that makes it suitable for any manufacturing line and any kind of packaged or bulk food product.

Proofing Such a delicate process deserves all attention. This is why Tecnopool has always developed plants that are perfectly calibrated that do not alter the properties of the food products and which therefore respect both the end product and the consumer.

Pasteurizing To make the treated products reach the right temperature within the required time, it is essential to carefully cover every detail: it is no coincidence Tecnopool designs complex plants that use insulated rooms to treat the food products in accordance with parameters that are constantly monitored.

Diathermic Oil Spiral Oven Tecnopool, faithful to its philosophy of simplifying production lines for mechanical and economic reasons, has completed its range of plants with a spiral cooking system which, thanks

to its configuration, allows for space saving and a smooth production process. In this way, it is possible to avoid the use of row gear up/gear down systems, which are very common in the pan lines used in tunnel ovens.

This is not something new; however, this spiral configuration makes it possible to make the best of the heating system designed by Tecnopool for this oven.

The absence of forced ventilation and the favourable balance of air/product volume in the cell, compared to a tunnel oven, makes it possible to work with room temperatures between 10° and 15°C lower than those used by tunnel ovens (cooking times being equal).

In special cases, according to Tecnopool’s experience, these differences can reach 30°C. Anyway, also in some specific cases in which it is necessary, forced ventilation is also installed in order to increase the convective effect. The technical decision leading Tecnopool to choose a radiator system, together with the special configuration afforded by the spiral, comes from the results obtained after years of trials with all types of products and in very different working conditions, which

IN SHORT

show a higher thermal performance, thus improving the results compared with other systems.

The thermal fluid that runs through the tubes is diathermic oil, a system that has been chosen on account of its high thermal performance and its very low risk. It must be taken into consideration that the performance of a diathermic-oil boiler ranges between 87% and 91%, compared to 60% of an air-heating system or 30% of a direct-flame heating system.

Tecnopool spiral oven makes it possible to save space, simplify the flow of the production line and save energy.

- Increase the rate of response and adjustment of the temperature; - Keep the frying oil as static as possible.

Fume extraction hood with fat separation filters, high-efficiency turbine and glazed perimeter fence: - To facilitate the extraction of fumes and steam, prevent any condensation dripping back into the frying oil causing contamination; - To permit the visual inspection of the production; - To separate and condense the oil in suspension present in the fumes, to avoid odour.

Thermal Oil Fryer True to its philosophy of constant evolution and growth, Tecnopool increases its product range with another processing machine that allows it to complete new production lines that meet customer requirements in the areas of meat, fish, bread and sweets, snacks, peanuts and even pet food: Tecnopool fryer.

Frying pan completely removable: - For easy and fast cleaning during maintenance work of the machine; - To permit the elimination of scrap as solids; - To use the frying pan as a decantation filter of the oil.

Why choosing a Tecnopool fryer?

LABORATORY SCALE EXTRUSION: OPEN THE BLACK BOX OF EXTRUSION PROCESSING FOR IMPROVED PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT Jayne E. Bock1 and Philipp Deiters2 1 C.W. Brabender Instruments, Inc. 2 Brabender GmbH & Co. KG

F

ood extrusion is one of those black box technologies that many approach with a trialand-error mentality. Although there is certainly some tweaking and overall fine-tuning necessary to dial in the proper extrusion settings for a given product concept, there is also a more direct way to generate the right product the first time. Starting with laboratory scale equipment before scale-up and understanding the interrelationship between the extruder set-up, process conditions, and product properties can lead to vastly improved results and faster delivery of a new product concept.

High protein extruded products are an example of a new product concept that can be easier to explore and develop with laboratory scale extrusion. Standard thinking around formulating with protein revolves around understanding protein functionality in different systems. However, most standard protein functionality tests require some degree of protein solubility in order to establish functionality. If there is no solubility, there is no functionality. Or so

Figure 1. The extrusion process triangle

the thought process goes. Laboratory extrusion offers product developers a way around this functional constraint by giving them the ability to work with insoluble proteins under real conditions to explore nontraditional aspects of protein functionality that could not otherwise be developed into viable concepts.

The biggest drawback is that prod-

uct developers are generally constrained by the need to test new product concepts on pilot scale extruders. The cost and time associated with a failed run at even this scale can quickly add up. Starting with laboratory scale equipment is more cost effective for testing new product concepts. Reduced raw material requirements and faster turnaround time between runs means

ences the other two in a continuous feedback loop.

We’ll start with independent parameters, specifically those under the direct control of the operator. We can put the independent variables into 3 basic categories:

more time spent exploring and refining the process for optimal scale-up later.

Another key advantage to using laboratory extrusion for the development process is that running production is not interrupted, thus there is no loss in turnover. This is important for basic research on completely new products while existing products are still manufactured and sold.

Laboratory scale extrusion follows the same principles and design of experiment as its pilot and commercial scale counterparts.

The basic extrusion process can be described as a triangle of 3 interrelated components: extruder set up, process conditions, and product properties (Figure 1). Each one influ-

Figure 3a. Example of a cooling die

1) Extruder set up, 2) Raw material, and 3) Direct process controls.

It is vital to fully understand the correlations between all three to move away from a trial-and-error approach to a mechanistic and structured approach.

Extruder set up includes the type of extruder (i.e., single screw vs. twin screw), the L/D ratio, screw design, and die design. Selecting the right extruder set up allows for proper mixing, hydration, and energy input while avoiding excessive material degradation, scorching, and process instability.

The product concept will generally dictate the type of extruder, L/D ratio, and overall die design. For example, texturized vegetable protein products with fat content of ~6.5% will be more suitable for a twin screw extruder with a L/D ratio >20 and a special cooling die to allow for

development of non-expanded laminar product structure.

Screw design requires careful consideration because it cannot be changed once the extrusion process is started. Working with a laboratory extruder in the initial stages of product development can provide more time to assess different screw configurations and select the optimal arrangement for scale up.

An essential component of screw design is understanding the different functional sections of the extruder.

The extruder can be divided into 3 conceptual sections. Each section requires different types of screw elements (Figure 2) depending on the product being made: • Feed section: The screw elements in this section must strike a balance between distributive mixing and conveying efficiency. More rapid feeding requires screw elements with greater fill capacity (i.e., longer pitch) whereas an emphasis on mixing requires some back flow or other distributive mechanism (e.g., cut flight, reverse pitch, or kneaders).

• Compression section: Screw elements in this section are dictated by the desired degree of biopolymer degradation. Elements in this section are commonly selected to generate a desired degree of compression and shear (e.g., shorter pitch, shallower depth, and/or mixing disks).

• Metering section: The screw elements in this section control pressure and material flow through the die. The emphasis here is to achieve any final physical and/or chemical transformations in the product while keeping the materi-

al moving forward through the die at a given pressure. Screw depth will be the shallowest in this section.

It is important to note that feed/compression/metering sections are very strictly divided for single-screw extruders. However, the screw design for twin screw extruders is more flexible, albeit complex. For example, we can have more than one feeding or mixing section, several compression sections (e.g., before a venting port), or sections where the degree of fill is higher followed by one that is lower before it is increased again (e.g., in front of the die).

In our example of texturized vegetable protein, the screw configuration is dictated by the transformations that must occur in each section. Water is added to the raw material via a pump directly to the feed section. The screw elements in this section will need to be selected to ensure homogeneous

Figure 3b. Product exiting a cooling die

distribution of this added water in the feed section. As the material feeds into the compression section, the material will be worked into a dough through an increased degree of fill and mixing disks.

Protein hydration should be finished

before leaving this section. The screw elements in the metering section will need to further increase the compression ratio enough to impart sufficient shear to achieve a temperature increase before entering the cooling die (Figures 3a,b). This temperature increase creates the conditions for necessary for generating laminar anisotropic structure typical to meat analogs (Figure 3c).

The major changes take place at the protein aggregate level. Shear forces, heating and cooling follow a pattern of de-structuring and re-structuring the proteinaceous mass via protein denaturation, unfolding, alignment and cross-linking.

Figure 3c. Fibrillar structure exhibited by the product

One benefit to exploring screw configurations in laboratory extruders is the ability to shut down the extruder once the process has reached steady state to evaluate how the material is changing in each screw section (Figure 4a) and make adjustments accordingly.

This can be done with instruments that split the liner horizontally (i.e., clam shell liners), with the additional advantage of making subsequent clean out

tein molecules to facilitate alignment and cross-linking. It likewise makes the entire protein mass more pliable, thereby facilitating transport through the barrel, structuring of the proteins and shaping of the product at the die.

However, it also serves to reduce or dissipate the necessary mechanical energy input necessary for successful texturization. Laboratory scale extrusion makes it easier to explore the water content range that successfully balances mechanical energy input with raw material physical and chemical transitions.

Direct process controls include feed rate, screw speed, and barrel temperature, and the impact on the raw material can be seen again by shutting down the extruder during steady state conditions and opening the liner for analysis (Figure 4a). For example, a high feed rate to achieve a specific minimum throughput at a given screw speed

Raw material parameters under the operator’s control include the formulation and water content. The formulation and water content will be determined by the type of product (i.e., carbohydrate or protein-based), desired nutritional profile, structure, and sensory characteristics for the product.

For example, fat and fiber contents will affect expansion rate and often determine whether a single screw or twin screw extruder is required. Laboratory scale extruders offer the most flexibility to explore alternative raw material sources (e.g., pulse proteins for texturized vegetable protein vs. soy protein concentrate or wheat gluten) and formulations during the product development stage.

The water content has probably the biggest impact on the final product from a formulation and processing standpoint. In some products it is easier to dissolve salt, sugar, and/or other minor ingredients in the water prior to

means greater fill in the extruder. This can increase product temperature due to more frequent particle collisions while decreasing product viscosity and die pressure. A similar effect in the product is observed by increasing the screw speed. Of these, barrel temperature tends to have the least effect on the process. Hence in our example of texturized vegetable protein, mechanical energy input and optimal protein hydration dominate the extrusion process as opposed to direct heat input.

The above mentioned independent parameters influence the process conditions across a range of dependent parameters. These parameters include material pressure and temperature, residence time, specific mechanical energy input, and melt viscosity. As you can see from the previous paragraph, these can be influenced most directly during the extrusion process by changing operator controlled settings on the extruder.

Extruder setup and raw materials can be selected to make the extrusion process more robust (i.e., a relatively wide range of process control settings will work) or more sensitive (i.e., a relatively narrow range of process control settings will work) in order to achieve specific product properties.

IN SHORT

error approach. Laboratory scale extrusion will allow for a more detailed exploration of the correlations, and over time product developers can fine-tune these correlations for different product formats.

This will allow for faster development of products through fewer required trials, faster turnaround time, and a better understanding of how the product will scale up.

Understanding the relationships among the extruder set up, process conditions, and product properties can make designing the extrusion process for a new product concept more predictable. It starts with defining how the extruder is or will be used in the application. Is the extruder meant to be a continuous cooker (e.g. cooking a protein mass into a continuous viscous mass) or a structuring agent where hydration and mechanical factors are more important (e.g. texturized vegetable proteins)? Defining this along with the desired raw materials/formulation makes it easier to design trials that quickly zero in on the appropriate process controls.

As it is frequently said, all experiments are designed – the degree of success is determined by how well they are designed.

PRODUCTION IN PERFECT FORM

Errepan is one of Italy's leading producers of baking pans and metal baking equipment for the confectionery and bread-making industries.

L

ove for the perfect form Over 25 years of passion for the perfect form have allowed Errepan to position itself on the Ita¬lian podium of metal pan and equipment manu¬facturers for the confectionery and bread-making industries. Technological evol¬ution, innovation and determina-tion have done the rest to satisfy an increasingly diversified and heterogeneous demand, borne of the international comm¬ercial relationships that the company has developed over the years.

Certified quality Errepan has been ISO 9001 certified since 1998 for its system of quality, guar¬anteeing respect for operational proc¬edures throughout the entire

production process. Complementing the company's certified quality is the quality of its daily inter¬actions with clients, with a part¬icular focus on meeting their needs.

International trade shows In addition to Italian events, Errepan has long had a pres¬ence in the biggest international trade shows to reach local mar¬kets and give potent¬ial clients the chance to "see with their own eyes" the reality that excell¬ence in the field currently represents.

The products With a broad, comprehensive line of products, Errepan is able to sati¬sfy every need of the confect¬ionery and

bread-making industry. The range of available forms is constantly expanding, motiva¬ted by (among other things) the push from clients, which the marketing department (with inim¬itable support from the technical office) then takes as its own and transforms into perpetually new products and solutions.

Pans for croissants, plum cakes, muf¬ins, tarts, the most original soft cakes, but also for pan¬bauletto, pan carré, and sand¬wich bread.

The tray with self-carrying paper cup holders is an inter¬esting and innovative solution. It can be used as a pan on the produc¬tion line or as a support in the product proto¬typing phase, with a consequent reduction in cost.

CSI CERTIFICATION & TESTING

F

ood chain actors know that materials and object that will be in contact with foodstuffs have to respect sensorial and chemical inertia towards the food products they will be in direct or indirect contact with (Regulation EC No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council).

In addition all food contact materials should be manufactured according to good manufacturing practices (GMP) as regulated by Regulation (EC) 2023/2006.

Regulation EC No 1935/2004 was created for all materials and articles designed to contact directly or indirectly food substances (not just packaging but also production machines, storage facilities, valves, conveyor

belts, kitchen utensils, and so on), it introduces also the following: • Safety Standard for the Health of consumer • Traceability • Report of compliance of all FCM In the European Community, only ceramic, plastics and regenerated cellulose have specific harmonized legislations. Other materials (just like paper, aluminum and stainless steel) have national provisions.

Moreover some cases of not specifically regulated materials exist (just like wood and some alloys). In every case Regulation EC No 1935/2004 is in force.

Sensorial and chemical inertia towards the food products can be verified by analytical tests that depend on materials and formulations. For

plastic materials overall migration (OM) and specific migration (SM) tests are added to the compositional assessment.

The OM test is the first requirement that needs to be respected: the packaging must not leach matter into the foodstuff it contains. More specifically, the SM tests aims to quantificate the migrated packaging constituents (monomers, additives,….).

Foodstuffs are complex matrices and so problems could arise by trying to detect migrated substances.

For these reasons food simulants were designated in order to simulate the molecules transfer from plastic materials and object to foodstuff. These simulants aim to

46

NEWS IN SHORT

represent the food main chemical physical properties. (Regulation EU n.10/2011).

However, validated test methods can be used in order to perform SM tests directly onto food. These tests and their use are justify both from an analytical point of view and, consequently, from a legislative one: food simulants work differently from the food in the packaging interaction mechanisms. Article 18 pt. 6 of the cited Commission Regulation EU n.10/2011 – on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food - reports that “The results of specific migration testing obtained in food shall prevail over the results obtained in food simulant […]”. It is clear that the analytical statistical parameters for these kind of into-food-migration tests have to be validated for each molecules and for each food moiety.

Here two short abstracts of Specific Migrations into food are reported: specific migration of Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalic acid esters (phthalates) respectively in beer and ham.

Since beer cans have become captivating again, there’s been increasing coverage in the media of the exposure from the minimal amounts of BPA, a component in the plastic epoxy lining of beer cans – and many other cans as well – for the purpose of preventing the contents from reacting with the aluminum.

Media have recently reported on the alleged dangers of BPA in aluminum beer cans. BPA is also regularly linked to health risks ranging from obesity to diabetes and cancer.

Phthalates (PAE) are organic lipophilic compounds mostly used as plasticizers to increase the flexibility of plastic polymers. Other applications include printing ink and var-

nishes. Humans are mostly exposed to phthalates via food; such exposure can have adverse effects on health.

Migration tests performed directly into foodstuffs represent a powerful approach to assess the compliance of a food contact material (FCM).

The analytical difficulties arising for treating a complex food matrix are not insuperable even if they required specific studies and validations. On the other hand such kind of results allow to consider the real behavior in the contact FCM/food without adopting the food simulants.

ripheral velocity of the mixing tool.

Moreover, the mixture can be tempered by water via the mixer’s double jacket.

Thus, the application range of the new laboratory mixer covers broadly diverse process tasks, including coating, agglomerating and vacuum drying.

The food-grade model displayed at Powtech provides a vessel volume of 10 liters at a working volume of 2 to 8 liters. The laboratory mixer’s

design allows an easy scale-up to industrial operation for recipes and processes developed to volume production standard. Its outer parts and all surfaces in contact with the mixture are made of stainless steel 1.4541, with the latter industrially ground to a grit 1200 high-quality finish. At a drive capacity of 5.5 kW, the rotational speed of the individually configurable mixing tool can be variably selected between 300 rpm and 3,000 rpm adequate to circumferential speeds between 3.7 m/s

INNOVATION IN FOOD PROCESSING

FAM Brings New Technology To The Table

L

ast month FAM launched the FAM TridisTM 240, a high capacity dicer for the frozen vegetable & fruit and French fry industry and the latest addition to FAM’s product line of industrial cutting machines. In the last two years, since the spring of 2014, FAM has introduced 8 new machines into its product line. Innovation is clearly an important key driver for the Belgian based company, but where can innovation be found in the food processing industry?

Food processing at the core The processing industry has changed in many ways since its inception. Starting out with the main focus on canning, evolving later into frozen foods and moving on now to include ready meals, fresh cut vegetables and fruit and even hypes such as pulled meat.

With those shifts in focus, the demands of the industry have altered as well. In the canning industry capacity took the lead and quality came in second. In the fresh vegetable and fruit industry there is no higher demand than the one for the best cut quality possible. Diamond shaped dices of pepper in your salad just will not do.

Not only the visual aspect of the end product matters, the industry has increased its demands in other areas as well. Hygiene has taken a more prominent role, because consumers, regulatory agencies and health organizations demand more transparency. From stainless steel motors, to sanitary seals and electro polishing of all product contact surfaces, experience has taught the food industry

to be as careful as possible when it comes to sanitation.

Another type of innovation is the surge of new cutting shapes and dimensions. Hype products such as pulled meat have entered the market, together with variations to existing products such as new shapes for potato chips and waffle fries. The competition in the retail market is fierce and this sources a demand for new, different and exclusive products as well a desire to process as efficiently as possible.

How to cut better The cutting machine plays a vital role in the processing line and can make a significant difference in product value. To give an example: in the fresh vegetable and fruit industry the shelf life of a product can diminish or increase the value of the product.

The longer the fruit and vegetables stay fresh, the better the product will

be received. The cutting process has a direct influence on that.

The better the product is cut, meaning the fewer cells are damaged in the process, the longer the shelf life will become.

Another example can be found in the potato chips industry. Recent studies have signaled that acrylamide has a direct negative influence on our health.

Acrylamide can be formed when amino acids interact with sugars in the presence of heat. In a potato processing line this happens in the fryer, when uncooked potato slices get baked at a high temperature.

When the potato slice gets cooked at a too high temperature it forms acrylamide. To prevent this, the temperature of the fryer has to remain as stable as possible. By cutting the potato into equal and stable slices the fryer needs to be adjusted as little as possible.

Investing in the future FAM has been a part of the food industry for more than 70 years, and is represented in more than 72 countries worldwide.

In the last couple of years FAM has made significant investments in production machinery, R&D development, new offices and test laboratories worldwide.

These investments have led to a total of eight new machine launches, including a completely new product line. What do these new products bring to the market?

The NECST step Specifically for the potato industry FAM has developed a new technology including a complete line of new cutting machines: NECSTTM. NECST is an acronym and stands for: Next Evolution in Centrifugal Slicing Technology.

The patented NECST technology tackles the predominant issues in the potato processing industry such as scrap rate, tapered slices and starch loss. Together with its sister company Stumabo, who supplies

IN SHORT

the knives, FAM developed a completely new cutting head, impeller wheel and a line of machines.

For 50 years people have been using the now called ‘first generation’ cutting head. This head needs to be adjusted every hour to remain accurate and weighs 22 kg.

The new GapSetTM cutting head sets a new standard for operator-friendliness with a weight of only 12 kg, almost half of the first generation head that also reduces the number of parts by 20%.

The GapSet technology allows you to change the slice thickness, is more accurate and ensures knife stability without any adjustments while processing. Once the cutting heads are assembled, the GapSet Technology ensures constant slice accuracy throughout.

Set it and forget it, the cutting heads are (and remain) accurate.

A new product line Together with the new GapSet technology, FAM started developing a line of centrifugal slicers and shredders. The Centris product line was launched in 2014 with the smallest family member: the Centris 315. A new centrifugal slicer & shredder with a high-quality execution and the smallest footprint of any industrial centrifugal shredder in the market. Afterwards the FAM Centris 315P was launched, specialized in potato processing, followed by the FAM Centris 400: “The big brother of the Centris 315 and Centris 315P, respectively launched in 2014 and 2015.”

The Centris line has a patent pending cutting head technology at the heart of it, which has doubled the amount of cutting stations compared to the first generation cutting heads of the competition.

This means the machine can run at a much lower velocity, thus protecting the product from damage, but still keep the same high capacity the market demands. This principle drastically improves the shelf life, starch loss and product damage.

The FAM Centris line has another big innovation at the core: the Direct Drive System. The Direct Drive System replaces the expensive gear box that complicates maintenance and exists out of a carbon reinforced drive belt and two taper locked pulleys.

CODING QUALITY AND RELIABILITY A CLEAR WINNER FOR MINERAL WATER COMPANY

P

rinted code quality and machine reliability are the major benefits of two Linx 8920 Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ) printers installed at Decantae Mineral Water, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of premium bottled waters.

Using specialist Linx Black bottling ink 1058, the Linx 8920s print batch and best-before information onto both glass and PET bottles.

Importantly, the ink is able to print through any condensation on the bottles with a fast drying time, avoiding the danger of smudging and ensuring a high clarity, quality code in keeping with Decantae Mineral

Water’s premium brand positioning.

The reliable operation of the two Linx CIJ printers, handling up to 11,000 bottles per hour on lines that run from around eight to 11 hours each day, is in direct contrast to the printers they have replaced.

These were so unreliable that an engineer was in almost constant attendance and spare printers were kept on-hand to act as a back-up when one failed on the line.

The consistent, trouble-free operation of the Linx 8920s with minimal intervention has therefore been of huge benefit to Decantae Mineral Water, enabling the company to maintain output and meet demand, particularly vital during the busy summer months, as well as freeing up the engineer to carry out his regular duties.

With the company filling a wide range of bottle sizes (330ml, 500ml and 750ml in glass and seven sizes in PET from 250ml to 2 litres) there are frequent changeovers on the lines. The Linx 8920s’ intuitive interface enables setup to be carried out quickly and easily by any operator.

The printers provide service intervals of 18,000 hours or 24 months. In addition, the unique Advanced System Monitoring provides a continual check of their opera-

tion in terms of ink system running parameters and environmental conditions. This enables the Linx 8920s to identify simple actions that users can take to prevent unscheduled stoppages, helping to ensure continuous reliable operation and avoid unplanned downtime.

“We are delighted with the Linx 8920s,” comments Decantae Mineral Water’s factory manager Mark Maberly.

“In terms of code quality, this is exactly in keeping with our brand values as a premium product, while the reliability of the printers helps to ensure that production throughput is consistently maintained.” www.linxglobal.com

CORTEC® INTRODUCES ECOSHIELD® SUPER BARRIER PAPER AND LINERBOARD: AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY REPLACEMENT FOR POLYCOATED AND WAXED PAPERS!

M

oisture is a major threat to raw materials and finished goods of all kinds - particularly those made of metal and prone to rust and corrosion.

Greases and oils sometimes used as lubricants or rust preventatives on metal components add another problem by threatening to leak through packaging and contaminate surrounding areas.

Waxed or polycoated papers are traditional moisture-resistant packaging options for problems like these.

However, such coated papers pose an environmental problem because they are not recyclable and repulpable.

Even if recycled back into the pulp and paper stream, they would first have to go through a costly process

of separating the paper base from the coating. To avoid this environmental problem, Cortec® Corporation has developed an environmentally acceptable replacement to unrecyclable polycoated and waxed papers.

Cortec’s new high gloss EcoShield® Super Barrier Paper and Linerboard relies on a water-based moisture barrier coating for moisture resistance.

The technology makes the paper fully recyclable and repulpable without requiring costly processes to remove the coating from the paper. In addition to recyclability, Cortec’s EcoShield® Super Barrier Paper and Linerboard demonstrated better water vapor barrier properties than polycoated paper and waxed paper during testing.

To evaluate the moisture resistance of EcoShield® Super Barrier and Linerboard, the barrier paper was tested against a comparable polyethylene coated paper and a commercial waxed paper according to ASTM E-96 at 73°F (23°C) and

A polycoated paper in the same test allowed slightly more water vapor to pass through in the same time frame, at the higher rate of 0.47-0.71 grams per hour.

protects against the ingress of moisture or grease into a package, but it also protects against the leaching of oil and grease out of a package. This is important when manufacturer’s specifications require the use of greasy rust preventatives, or when the metal equipment being wrapped, packaged, or shipped contains lubricated parts.

Whether moisture threatens from the inside or the outside of a package, EcoShield® Super Barrier Paper and Linerboard is a more environmentally friendly way to protect against damage from moisture, grease, and oil.

By coating water based barrier technology onto biobased material, Cortec® has made a fully recyclable, environmentally acceptable, and competitively performing replacement for polycoated and waxed papers.

The waxed paper was much less resistant to water vapor, allowing it to transfer at a rate of 6.5-6.9 grams per hour on the same size of paper.

EcoShield® Super Barrier Paper and Linerboard can discourage these oils and greases from seeping out of the package and causing packaging failure or contamination of nearby materials.

ECOLAB FOOD SAFETY EXPERT SAYS DIGITIZATION AND DATA INTELLIGENCE ARE KEY ENABLERS IN “BURYING THE FOOD BUG” Dr. Ruth Petran, Ecolab Inc.’s Vice President of Food Safety & Pubic Health, addresses industry leaders at Dubai International Food Safety Conference 2017

D

ubai, UAE – 19 November 2017: Dr. Ruth Petran, one of the world’s foremost leaders in food safety, has revealed the adoption of new technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) Big Data and Data Science will ensure food safety, improve sustainability and help “bury the food bug”.

Petran, the Vice President of Food Safety and Public Health at Ecolab Inc., was speaking to a gathering of regional food safety champions at the 2017 Dubai International Food Safety Conference, organised by Dubai Municipality and held today at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).

“Data is a powerful tool for monitoring, controlling and verifying the causes and issues that lead to

foodborne diseases,” said Dr. Petran. “Mitigating food safety risks requires a holistic approach, from considering sustainability or questions surrounding local sourcing, to the inherent logistic complexities of today’s global supply chain. Ecolab has developed solutions that use digitization and data intelligence to construct strong, sustainable food safety programs – these solutions can help us, as an industry, bury the food safety bug once and for all.”

With foodborne illnesses responsible for 420,000 deaths a year worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), Ecolab Inc. - the global leader in water, hygiene and energy technology services - has partnered with Dubai Municipality for this year’s Conference to explore

how new digital technologies are impacting global food safety.

Although foodborne diseases rank amongst the global community’s most preventable illnesses, a recent WHO report reveals that almost one in 10 people contract a food-related illness every year. Astonishingly, the loss of otherwise healthy life years attributed to premature death and disability caused by food-related illness is 33 million years annually.

As the global public health concern deepens, Ecolab is leading the way in exploring or adopting increasingly sophisticated digital tools and platforms to meet the challenges of food safety.

GEA BRINGS TOGETHER TECHNOLOGIES TO SUPPLY EXTENDED PASTA FILATA CHEESE PRODUCTION LINE FOR BMI

G

EA has recently been selected to supply an extended pasta filata cheese production line for BMI in Jessen, Germany. With this exemplary project GEA brings together its joint cheese-making expertise, resulting from its acquisition of de Klokslag and CMT in 2014 and 2015 respectively, with GEA’s flow and processing experience to provide a single offering for this prestigious customer.

BMI (Bayerische Milchindustrie eG) was founded over 60 years ago. The organization brings together independent dairies and milk-supplying cooperatives to produce a variety of fresh dairy products including over 60 million tonnes of cheese every year. The GEA plant will expand BMI’s production capability of pizza cheese by around 2.5 tonnes/ hour for the supply of pizza cheese in 15kg Euroblocks to industry worldwide.

The contract with GEA is for the extension of one of BMI’s three cheese lines. The scope of supply includes: the revision of the existing salt system, cooker and stretcher; two GEA

CMT DMC modules; and a GEA de Klokslag brining system. The individual components will be brought together to form a continuous production line using GEA piping, engineering and control systems. Assembly work will begin on site in January 2018 and GEA engineers will commission the project in March 2018.

BMI already has experience of working with GEA equipment and is currently working with the company on another project for the production of Cheddar cheese.

This familiarity and experience of working with GEA was undoubtedly a contributing factor in the decision to use GEA technology and expertise however, according to Carsten Müller-Stein, GEA Project Manager, it is GEA’s ability to bring together the different elements of the project, from a single source, with the necessary engineering work, project management and commissioning, that is the key to GEA’s offering to the dairy industry.

“Now we have the opportunity of working with our other cheese specialists in GEA on a combined project in this way,” explained Carsten Müller-Stein.

“Because we know each other and the relevant technologies so well, and understand fundamentally how they can be engineered to provide a seamless system, our customers can be guaranteed the outcome they require.

We take total ownership of the project and we are ultimately responsible for delivering. The customer has only one point of contact for everything.”

GEA’s combined cheese-making experience and scope of supply provides for the mechanization of the production processes for fresh mozzarella, pizza cheese, provolone, scamorza, kashkaval and a wide range of hard and semihard cheeses. This, combined with GEA’s extensive engineering experience and research capabilities, provides a unique offering for cheese manufacturers worldwide. www.gea.com

PLANTS FOR THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY

F

ARCK Spa manufactures plants for the food and beverage industry with a particular attention to the storage, heating/cooling, pasteurizing and concentration of the fruit juice and milk/whey. FARCK concentration plants can be used with excellent results both for pure and rectified musts and for fruit juices and can be coupled with all desulphurization columns with a very high energy saving. FARCK uses the principle of the Vapour Thermal Recompression and manufactures plants with reduced consumptions (less than 1 Kg. of steam to evaporate 10 Kg. of water). The circulation of the product is “falling film”, with vertical pipe bundle exchangers, condensate separation with elimination of non-polluting liquids and cleaning of the plant by means of forced circulation in short time. The capacity of the evaporators varies from 1.000 or 2.000 lt. of evaporated water to 50.000 lt/h of evaporated water (big plants with 3-6 effects). An important characteristic of FARCK evaporators is the centralization of all controls into a control synoptic board that allows the driving of the plant by one operator alone. All FARCK evaporation plants are realised in monobloc in order to be transported and installed in short time. Thanks to many years of experience in this sector FARCK Spa can design and manufacture plants with very low consumptions thus respecting the environment. FARCK Spa manufactures also plate exchangers, heaters coolers and pasteurizers for food liquids. Our technical office is able to calculate the exact number of plates and sections necessary to guarantee the best energy saving by respecting the product to treat; the plate exchangers are completely manufactured with AISI 304 and 316 stainless steel and have a capacity from 500 to 40.000 lt/hour, with one or

more cooling or heating or pasteurisation sections, with or without holding tubular sections , provided with temperature control board and positioned on bedplates in order to reduce space and time assembly.

FARCK Spa is also specialised in the manufacturing of S/steel tanks with capacity up to 200.000 lt. for the storage, cooling or mixing in general. It is possible to add special stirrers for the movement of high density and viscosity products, manholes with micro-switch, breathers, rotating cleaning balls, manifolds, gangways, railings; everything realised following all accident prevention regulations. Thanks to the high level of its technicians. FARCK Spa manufactures also Spray- drying plants for the pulverisation of the concentrated liquids coming

from evaporators and their transformation into powders with a long-life conservation.

Compared to traditional dryers, the product coming from a FARCK plants has better qualitative characteristics : lower density, no hygroscopicity, better solubility, no hardening in packaging and so a better use in the industry. Thanks to the high level experience of its technicians, FARCK Spa is able to manufacture and supply complete « turnkey » plants in Italy and all over the world.

The transport, positioning and assembly also of voluminous and complex plant’s components are always made directly by its own skilled staff and its means of transport, offering also a good after-sale service.

Firex think of the transformation of raw materials, such as fruit, to produce food ready-for-sale, a process that affects the small food industries, but also agricultural producers who can jump into the direct sales market.

Firex is able, therefore, to follow you step by step, to find, among the different lines produced, the machinery most suitable for the needs of the food industries. In the specific case of the production of jams, for example, the company is able to offer equipment for all processing stages: from the equipment for the washing and the drying of the fruit to the multi-purpose machine for cutting and

vacuum cooking, until the pasteurizing machine for the jars.

Example of small process line for the production of fruit jams or canned vegetables: 1 Wash the fruit with Vegetable washer.

The tank compartmented allows you to wash different products at the same time, while the vortex of the water is controlled depending on the needs. Each phase is automatic and programmable.

The basket, practical and light, allows easy extraction of clean product.

2 Drying with the centrifuge.

Before cooking it eliminates the excess water with the centrifuge specification for fruits and vegetables, which facilitates the work

and saves time. The speed is adjustable depending on the product, while the basket is easily extractable. The steel structure and the base rubber for the stability and the absorption of vibration, make the centrifugal Firex a professional appliance.

3 Inserting the fruits washed still whole in the vacuum cooking machine “High-P”.

It’s the new born at Firex that, thanks to its patented multipurpose mixer, can cut the whole fruit, mix it and mix all ingredients. High-P makes jam only with ingredients such fruit and sugar: with the vacuum cooking, in halved cooking times, maintaining color, fragrance and taste of fresh fruit. In 15 minutes you can realize up to 20 kg of jam.

4 With the pasteurizing machine Fixpan, the product into jars lasts longer.

After packing proceed to pasteurization in water of jam jars with Fixpan. In four moves your product is ready for sale!

Vacuum cooking is also fast and maintains maximum nutritional value of foods .The cooking technique under vacuum allows to transform the foods at lower temperatures than with the open lid open. For example, fruit boil already at 80 ° C avoiding so the usual oxidation of the product. In this way, the colors and the organoleptic qualities of foods are kept intact and the end result is great and quick. In fact the last born in Firex, High-P is a cooker capable of using the vacuum in static or dynamic form and so to produce 20 kg of jam in less than 15 minutes or 50 kg of meat sauce in 35 minutes , considerably reducing the processing times and keeping unchanged the organoleptic properties of foods.

Here with tools Firex you can get high quality food, genuine, shortening the supply chain and making the 100% products of our territory.

50 YEARS OF INNOVATION FOR THE FOOD INDUSTRY

Developing breakthrough technologies, from automated pomegranate handling, to sulfur-free lychee treatment, Juran continues to innovate and green the food industry

S

ignificantly impacting agrotechnology and the food industry worldwide, Juran has been coming up with new ideas for streamlining traditional methods of farming, harvesting, and produce handling since its inception in 1966.

From automated packing houses to unique technologies for greening food processing practices, Juran’s R&D achievements caught the attention of the Agricultural Engineering Institute of the Israel Ministry of Agriculture, as well as of EU R&D institutes. In thriving partnerships over 40 years, their joint activities have yielded innovative R&D projects and many jointly registered patents.

The pomegranate handling breakthrough A prime example, and a flagship Juran product, is the ArilSystem™, an automated system for extracting the juicy seeds from pomegranates. The pomegranate is one of nature’s most remarkably health enhancing fruits. Higher in antioxidants than wine or cranberries, it promotes heart health, reduces blood pressure, enhances healing, and has even been shown to inhibit tumor growth.

Yet consumption of this healthful and tasty fruit has been far from commensurate with its value.

This is largely due to the messy and time consuming process of extracting the arils. Consumers find the fruit less than user-friendly.

Even when the juicy seeds are provided ready extracted, consumers do not rush to buy them due to their high cost, based on the labor-intensive extraction process.

Hence the general public has failed to avail itself of the health benefits of this remarkable fruit. Juran set out to change all that.

Researching the problem, Juran developed the ArilSystem™.

It can process hundreds of pomegranates per hour, supervised by just one or two workers.

It boasts a 95% efficiency level, bringing aril damage down to 3%5%, compared with previous industry standards of 20% wastage.

The extracted arils are gently washed, filtering out peels and fruit membranes. The end result is pure arils, cleaned and packaged, untouched by human hands.

ArilSystem™ The pomegranate breakthrough • Labor-Saving - 1-2 workers replace 45!

• Minimal waste - 95% efficiency • Better Taste - Tannin-free tastier juice • Higher Quality - Hygienic Food Safety Standards • Industrial capacity - Up to 56 fruits/minute Aside from the obvious advantages of low labor costs and increased output, the ArilSystem™ yields

70

JURAN - FP 4-17_corr_DEFI.indd 3

05/09/17 12:35

PRESERVING INDUSTRY VEGETABLE

a far more hygienic, higher quality product. This is reflected in its significantly increased shelf life. A further benefit is afforded the beverage industry.

Most pomegranate juices are obtained by squeezing the whole fruit, including peel and membrane, which gives the juice a bitter taste due to their high tannin and phenol content.

The ArilSystem Juicer obtains pure pomegranate juice from the arils alone, producing a far tastier beverage. And as an extra bonus, the seeds, efficiently extracted during the juicing process, are a sought-after byproduct utilized by the cosmetics and pharmaceutics industries, yielding additional revenue.

Today’s ArilSystem™ is available in 4 models handling 10, 20, 28, or up to 56 fruits per minute. A rate of 56 fruit/minute, or 1,680 kg fruit/ hour, can yield over 550 kg/hour of superior quality arils, all from a single production line.

Since the first ArilSystem was installed in Israel, there are currently ArilSystems operational in the USA, Spain, Turkey, India, South Africa, Australia and others.

Now affordably available, the presence of this wonder fruit is growing in the Fresh-Cut market as well as the Food & Beverage Industries, Pharmaceutics, and Cosmetics.

MEAT

But the big winners are the consumers.

Juran’s marketing director, Avner Galili says, “There is an increasing market demand for pomegranate products. We’re pleased to enable our customers to offer a superior product to the growing number of pomegranate consumers worldwide.”

Greener methods for redder lychees Making food processing more natural and putting healthier products on the market is a main Juran objective. Today, fresh lychees are a tricky commodity.

Starting out an attractive red, they lose their vibrant color within 2 or 3 days, becoming an unappealing brown.

To overcome this marketing drawback, lychees are subjected to a sulfur treatment that helps them maintain their color for a longer marketing window. However it offers the consumer a product that is, literally, soaked in chemicals.

“There is an attitude of resignation among lychee growers,” Avner Galili says, “that sulfur treatment is a necessary evil. Sulfur is a toxin, and it may penetrate the flesh of the fruit. Careful testing is then required to ensure compliance with allowable levels. The good news,” Avner tells us, “is that lychees needn’t be soaked in toxins to keep them market-red.”

“From marketing their equipment to the small local market, Juran has grown into a company with a worldwide presence, whose technologies and systems are opera-

www.juran.co.il

That represents a very significantly extended marketing window and shelf life.

This computerized, all natural process maintains the lychee’s delicious flavor along with its vibrant lasting color. The unique natural treatment process is integrated with a sorting and packing system.

Moving along a state-of-the-art motorized conveyor, the lychees undergo a sorting & grading process including an automatic sizer with five size/ grading groups compliant with EEC and USA market requirements. With a packing capacity limited only by customer demand, Juran Lychee Treatment Systems and Packing Houses have been installed in China, Thailand, Israel and Australia.

Juran’s Sulfur-Free Lychee Treatment & Packing House • Maintains vibrant red color for 4-5 weeks • Greatly increases marketing window • All natural process • Tested and field-proven With the company for over 8 years, Avner Galili is Juran’s Business Development and Marketing Director, and by now like one of the family of this family business.

Formerly on the Board of Directors of the Israel Export Institute and the National Agricultural Research Institute of the Volcani Center, he also served as advisor to the Israel Agricultural Ministry’s Genetic Engineering Consortium.

amozzi Spa realizes solutions for industrial automation for more than 50 years and has grown throughout the years up to becoming one of the main international companies operating in the sector of pneumatic components for industrial automation.

Total quality of products, efficient production processes, flexibility and continuous research in technology are the pillars on which the company is based and which are declined in terms of miniaturization, energy efficiency, plug&play solutions and mechatronic devices that are able to operate in the context of Industry 4.0.

The strategy of Camozzi is based on the development of sector-specific expertise along with a multi-technological approach integrating pneumatics, electrical actuation and proportional technology. Camozzi is a leading multi-technological supplier of industrial automation, starting with the conviction that in automated systems there is no driving technology that is absolutely better than another, but each application has different requirements that can be satisfied thanks to the use of a specific technology which can be pneumatic, proportional or electric.

In order to complete its offerring, Camozzi created C_Electrics; a new division dedicated to the development of electric actuation, proposing solutions that include electromechanical cylinders and axes with auxiliary motors, drivers and accessory components, combined in configurable systems in order to guarantee maximum flexibility to the user.

As a result of the work of this Division we can name the Series 6E electromechanical cylinders, the Series 5E

electromechanical axes, the Series MTS brushless motors, the Series MTB stepper motors and respective drivers with the newest DRCS driver, especially studied for stepper motors. Using the microstepping technology (up to 1/128 step) it is possible to considerably reduce the natural resonance of the motor.

Moreover, eight input modalities are available that allow to realize a table of 256 commands, for each of which it is possible to set position, speed, acceleration and deceleration. The Series DRCS drivers are equipped with a CANopen serial protocol through which you can run commands for motion control and monitoring of the driver’s state. The operation can be configured wireless or through a USB cable, according to the Bluetooth standard (BL-BLE).

Part of the C_Electrics range is also the Series 6E which is a mechanical actuator with rod in compliance with standard ISO15552, among which the new versions with protection class IP65 can be found, suitable to be used also in dusty environments or in presence of strong water jets.

The wide range available, their high precision and easy assembly make the Series 6E the ideal solution for the most diverse applications, in which control of position and/or of

dynamic movement is required, like for example Pick & Place, sorting, palletizing, tensioning, pressing and lifting.

To make the transition from pneumatic to electromechanic actuation easier, Camozzi has developed QSET, a software that allows to easily configure the motor system and the electomechanic actuator. QSET interfaces with the Camozzi drivers and enables to program these very easily, without necessarily knowing complex parameters and options that would increase set-up times, at the expense of other activities with a high added value. The development phase of the man-machine interface has been the subject of a dedicated research: the aim is to have an intuitive program that is easy to use, in order to considerably reduce the configuration times through simple and quick guided choices. www.camozzi.com

THE NEW FRONTIER OF ACTIVE GEARBOXES

THE “GHA” TECHNOLOGY OF TRAMEC

“B

et on product innovation by offering high quality and service standards is the winning choice to be competitive in the global market.” Starting from this statement of intent, TRAMEC is opening up a new frontier in the field of power transmission and more specifically in the world of GEARBOXES, where TRAMEC is considered to be among the leaders.

Strong in its experience and quality of its products, the company located in Bologna area is launching on the international markets the innovative technology called GHA, the debut of which has taken place recently.Starting on the AUSTRALIAN and NEW ZEALAND markets, the first ACTIVE GEARBOX for the FOOD AND PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY with its patented “G.H.A.” technology has paved the way for a new type of reducers. This special surface treatment, applicable to all aluminum-based alloys, consists of an anodic oxidation, with a thickness of 1 to 100 μm, followed by sealing of micro porosity by silver ions. Anodic oxidation generates a very hard, heat-resistant and non-removable ceramic coating layer, while the porosity of anodic oxide crystals, otherwise considered a defect, become valuable once galvanically sealed with silver ions.

The high hardness of anodic oxide, coupled with the extraordinary properties of silver ions, gives the treated surface

biotechnological properties of extreme interest for many applications.

TRAMEC’S ACTIVE REDUCER also has the ability to act only when needed, that is if and only if bacteria are formed on its surface, otherwise it remains “dormant”.

Also thanks to this feature, the “GHA Classic” product has obtained the HACCP Australia certification and ISO 22196:2011 certification. The success currently reached so far from Italy by this product totally “MADE IN ITALY”, will be the “bridgehead” to new markets such as the Asian, American and European ones.

Because of its antibacterial, anticorrosion and anti-lime properties, the new technology used by TRAMEC also eliminates the highly polluting and hazardous caustic soda from the cleaning process of food industry plants, thus allowing the use of products with reduced environmental impact , as foreseen by current regulations.

Starting next 2018, the launch of the new “GHA Premium” line, an “enhanced” reducer, redesigned with features that will enable greater penetration into the FOOD AND PHARMACEUTICAL market as well as in the MARINE market , will be one of the novelties that will be presented by TRAMEC. The MARINE Industry is showing an interest beyond expectations for the anti-corrosive feature of the TRAMEC ACTIVE “ GHA” GEARBOX , whose latest “ Saline Spray ” tests have not yet been completed but have already exceeded 1000 (thousand) hours showing that the next goal could be soon that of 2000 hours.

Furthermore, the latest tests carried out by TRAMEC’s trading partner on the

THE GHA GEARBOX ability of the “GHA” treatment to reduce the motors’ heat emission by transforming this energy into infrared radiation, proved to be “ exciting” with temperatures below 65 ° (sixty-five degrees).

The availability of a patented gearmotor with these characteristics, namely: “TOTALLY RECYCLABLE, attentive to pollution and nature issues, with costs below the equivalent made of INOX steel”, will be the innovation that markets will talk about over the next few years.

In addition to the commitment to innovation, the company located in “Calderara di Reno” has made significant investments in the field of human resources in the last year, incorporating new high-profile professional figures within the company’s business structure and in the field of technology by investing in “INDUSTRY 4.0”.

TRAMEC clearly knows what the future will be... follow the “BLUE WAY”!

EFFICIENT END-TO-END SOLUTION FOR DOSING MEMBRANES

RICO Elastomere Projecting GmbH Am Thalbach 8, A-4600 Thalheim/Wels www.rico.at

iquid silicone (LSR) dosing membranes are frequently used to ensure that viscous fluids can be dispensed cleanly. These membranes are particularly common in the food industry, where they are used to stop products such as ketchup and honey from leaking or dripping.

Dosing membranes can also be found in shampoo bottles. Thanks to the technology, bottles can be turned upside down without the contents leaking out. Fluids can be dispensed, usually through a cross-shaped slit in the membrane, by squeezing the bottle.

Simtec Silicone Parts LLC. 9658 Premier Pkwy. Miramar, FL www.simtec-silicone.com

The production of dosing membranes involves combining elastomers and thermoplastics. In a onecomponent (1K) process, the elastic dosing membrane is molded out of silicon and then modified in a number of stages depending on the required application.

Two-component (2K) procedures are used to join the elastic membrane with a solid plastic ring. This makes it easier to work and fit the membrane.

Precision mold production technology is the most decisive factor in this process, although considerations such as the right choice of material as well as automation also play

an important part. Innovations such as temper-free materials mean that there is an ever-stronger focus on 2K processes.

Based in Thalheim bei Wels in Austria, RICO Elastomere Projecting GmbH has spent years developing the required mold manufacturing technology, and is firmly established as an expert partner for custom elastomer projects.

1K – the standard technique Membranes are still commonly produced using 1K injection molding.

This requires complex assembly stages following production, such as attaching the membrane to the bottle closure.

The drawbacks of this procedure are clear. After production, the parts drop into a container below the machine. The next step involves postoperational processes such as tempering and talc-powdering of the LSR membrane, in order to stabilize the material, extract excess siloxane and stop the individual parts sticking together.

Then the membranes are separated so that they can be positioned and fitted on the closure. This is followed by slitting the membrane.

The entire production procedure is time-consuming and also cost-intensive due to the various processing stages. Controlled processing of elastic parts increases the cost and time required still further.

2K processes: unrivalled precision in mold production technology Rico has been producing membranes using a 2K process for more than a decade.

Two injection technologies are combined in a single mold: in one half, a ring is produced, from polyamide (PA) for example, using a conventional injection molding approach, while in the other half, the LSR membrane is mounted on the thermoplastic ring using a liquid injection molding or LIM technique. This 2K process demands special know-how in mold design.

Precise temperature control and accurate separation of the mold’s cooled thermoplastic side and heated LSR side are essential. Rico has built on the comprehensive expertise of its RICO GROUP partner HTR. The heat treatment specialist advises Rico on the options for refining the various types of high-quality steel that Rico uses in its molds.

This guarantees outstanding product quality and long useful lives.

Choice of material a decisive factor The choice of materials is especially important when it comes to elastomer processing.

Rico has access to materials data collected over the past 20 years, and also works closely with raw material producers, meaning that newly developed materials can also be taken into consideration.

When using temper-free materials that comply with food safety regulations, a slit can be made in the LSR membrane immediately after injec-

tion molding. This removes an entire work step, with the slit made straight after the production process. The combination of LSR and a solid plastic ring as a means of support simplifies processing of the membrane during the manufacturing process, right through to the final assembly of the sealing cap.

Effective automation concept The PA rings are made using a hot runner nozzle over a sub-runner.

An automated rotary mold carries the premolds to the LSR side of the mold, where the components are injected directly onto the PA ring, using a single cold runner nozzle for each component.

At the end of each cycle, the 2K membranes are removed from the mold under controlled conditions by a handling system, which allows the form to close again, meaning that production can continue.

There is enough time during the subsequent closing and injection process to make cross-slits in the membranes outside the machine. For this purpose, a removal robot carries the molded parts to a special cutting and punching device. After the parts have been centered “online”, the slit is made. This procedure is suitable for both 2K components and pure LSR articles.

Finally, the parts are removed from the processing unit on a conveyor belt. This approach removes the

need for assembly and processing later on, as the dosing membrane is ready for application and can be mounted directly in the bottle closure.

With a view to further innovation and the interlinking of industrial manufacturing processes in accordance with Industry 4.0 principles, industry leader Rico is also considering connecting the production of sealing caps and dosing membranes.

In line with the group’s strong reputation for production efficiency, this would mean that most of the required processes were carried out during production.

stone of dosing membrane production. Depending on the number of items, stable and automated processes almost always outperform semi-manual solutions on account of their superior quality standards and by removing the need for subsequent assembly work. Greater investment in such equipment often pays dividends in the short term, if all of the related variables are taken into account.

The use of 2K technology to manufacture dosing membranes makes implementing such a highly automated process far simpler. A number of possible design proposals are already on the drawing board.

to take advantage of the complete service portfolio. Clients can either manufacture parts themselves or have them produced at one of the RICO GROUP’s high-end production facilities.

Development and construction as basis for production In this context, Rico is also concentrating on production-driven serial and assembly construction, providing customers with end-to-end project support in its role as a primary contractor. Shrinkage and distortion can be calculated in advance for a wide range of materials with the help of simulations. Finite element method (FEM) calculations, which are best known for their aerospace applications, are also used. These calculations allow for realistic simulations of parts, such as assembled seals, on a screen, as well as component optimization. All developments are assessed and tested by means of manufacturability checks before the parts are produced. Customers also receive support and training during the commissioning and handover of production plant, enabling them

Favorable outlook in niche market Specialized plastics processing – the automated production and refining of 2K LSR parts – is growing in importance, especially in the packaging industry. The group is focusing on the combination of plastics and conventional elastomers such as silicone and rubber. There are only a handful of processors worldwide with such specialist knowledge. This is an attractive, high-potential market – demand for such combinations is rising in more and more industries, such as the automotive and medical technology sectors, and materials manufacturers are constantly bringing new materials with higher performance standards onto the market.

Flat Tubular Heaters Boost Efficiency for Fryer Technology

By Roly Juliano Watlow

An example of a flat tubular heater – the FIREBAR from Watlow

F

rom fryers to griddles to ovens, heat is an important component in most foodservice applications.

When it comes to the heat source for frying, not all heating elements are created equal.

Electric fryer heaters can be segmented into two broad categories - round tubular heaters, and flat tubular heaters. When first introduced, fryer heaters were round tubular.

But engineers found that a flat tubular design offered many benefits - the most important being that the shape lifts the oil into the cook zone

far better than round heaters. An innovation was born.

Flat Surface Geometry Because of its design and geometry, flat tubular heaters will heat viscous fluids from ambient temperature faster than round tubular elements with the same wattage and at a lower sheath temperature.

The benefit of this shape is the enhanced flow of liquid past the surface of the heating element. The round tubular has a much more erratic flow pattern (see graphic). Note the currents swirl around and trap

heat next to the sheath. This is due to the tubular’s round shape, which causes a wider and less efficient flow of liquid around the heater surface.

The flow pattern around the flat tubular heater is streamlined; the flat surface has less restriction on the liquid as it moves up and past the heater sides.

This efficient and faster flow pattern permits the liquid to move heat away from the sheath very quickly, resulting in the flat tubular heater’s lower operating sheath temperature (see graphic).

faster than the round heater. The end result – the flat tubular gets the heated liquid into the work zone faster than when using a round tubular.

The flat tubular heater has about a 50 percent greater surface area than a round tubular. This surface area design improvement is the key to lowering watt density for the same length heater or reducing the heater size while maintaining the same watt density.

Flat tubular heaters are ideal for fryer applications because their shape lifts the oil into the work zone better than round heaters.

Greater Buoyancy Force This natural convection phenomenon partially depends on the ratio of a buoyancy force to the viscous force of the fluid being heated. The buoyancy force or the flow of liquid up and across the heater surface is mainly determined by the length of the heater sides.

The side of a flat tubular heater is typically 1 in. (25 mm), compared to the 0.43 in. (10.9 mm) or less dimension of a round tubular element. The flat tubular heater’s smaller edge and longer side creates a buoyancy force up to ten times greater than a round tubular heater depending on the material being heated.

Faster Heat Up Flat surface technology provides faster heat up and recovery times than round tubular heaters. Their unique shape minimizes coking and oil degradation, and enhances the flow of the oil past the element’s surface, helping to pull heat away from the heater sheath. Compacted magnesium oxide (MgO) insulation transfers heat away from resistance wire to sheath material and media more efficiently, shortening heat-up time.

In addition, the heater lasts longer because it runs at a significantly lower sheath temperature than an equal watt density round tubular.

This also prolongs the life of the oil which shortens and reduces costs from frequent changing.

Smaller Dimension Normal to Flow This feature refers to the width dimension of the heater that the liquid flows around. Typically, a narrower dimension will give a smoother and faster liquid flow. For example, the round tubular’s wide dimension, nearly a half-inch, inhibits the flow of liquid. It causes currents which disrupt the flow and the flow rate is somewhat slower.

If coking is a problem, it is an indication that the sheath temperature is too hot and is burning the oil. A flat tubular heater will provide a lower sheath temperature than a round tubular element, without reducing wattage or watt density. Coking is also reduced by the wiping action that occurs as the heated liquid flows past the heaters surface. The result is less liquid degradation and longer liquid life.

The flat tubular heater, on the other hand, has a much thinner dimension 0.235 in. (5.97 mm), which reduces the drag forces on the liquid flowing past the heater. This allows the liquid to move past the flat heater

Watlow’s flat tubular heater, called FIREBAR®, has long been a standard in the foodservice industry. An independent study that adhered to the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards, called

83

WATLOW - FP 3-16.indd 4

AUTOMATIONCOMPONENTS

“Prototype Element Performance Test,” revealed that the FIREBAR flat heating element was the first to consistently return the oil to the 171°C (340°F) reload temperature. FIREBAR also maintained the highest average cook zone temperature of the heating elements tested, recorded the fastest pre-heat time and offered one of the lowest pre-heat energy consumption levels ever tested.

During the performance comparison test of the FIREBAR heater versus an equivalent kW round tubular heater, per ASTMs test method F1361-7, the FIREBAR heater’s fast recovery allowed cooking of six heavy loads of french fries versus five heavy loads of an equivalent tubular or a 20 percent capacity improvement (see below).

Reduced Watt Density Flat tubular heaters can be operated at a higher watt density than a round tubular heating element

industrial electronics

without increasing the sheath temperature.

Flat tubular heaters also allow more wattage into the application at the same watt density with a shorter heating element. Both types of heaters can have the same wattage, but the flat tubular will operate at a lower sheath temperature than the round tubular.

In tests conducted to demonstrate this phenomenon, both heater types had a watt density of 30 and were immersed in a light liquid shortening. The flat tubular element heated the oil faster from ambient temperature than the round tubular. At 149°C (300°F), the flat tubular element heated the oil to temperature in 11 minutes where as the round tubular took 18 minutes. Plus, the flat tubular heater’s average sheath temperature was

10°C (50°F) lower than the round tubular.

Customizable, Easy to Install FIREBAR can be wired 3-phase, making installation easier and cheaper while reducing the size of the heating assembly. FIREBAR heating elements can be formed into virtually any shape for an immersion application.

This flat tubular heater can be configured with a variety of wattage and voltage ratings, terminations, sheath materials and mounting options to satisfy the most demanding foodservice applications.

The FIREBAR is typically constructed with epoxy or silicone seals to combat moisture contamination from environmental kitchen conditions.

has always been satisfying customer’s needs, even if it requires high levels of product’s customization and quality.

The company has a long story of positive results.

It was founded in 1964 by three partners, and thanks to the experience they gained in building and designing machineries and plants in the USA, they firstly began to serve the foundry sector.

Year after year the company has slowly improved the production range, by supplying products in more and more sectors of application, such as food, pharma, chemical and pet-food sectors, and to different types of customers.

In 2000 the company becomes a family-owned com- pany, and with the ownership also the company view changed, in order to become more and more customer oriented.

Recently the company has enlarged its target markets abroad, by suppling goods and establishing business relationships in many European countries.

For the coming years its main goal is to continue to supply high quality solutions to its customers, with the support of its selected partners.

Efficiency and Effectiveness are the key-words.

“Ideas, Projects and Solutions in order to provide our customer with the best possible product.”

IN-HOUSE ENGINEERING One of the most powerful strength of the com- pany is its ability to design and produce in-house stan- dardized and customized products, in order to satisfy each possible customer’s need.

simulation systems. Engineers interact with the mechanical production department, and fol- low all the production phases up to the assembling, the start-up and the commissioning of the machine in customer’s premises.

The company studies each production process of its customers, in order to provide them with the best solu- tion, not only in terms of productivity, but also in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. This allows GVF Im- pianti to be able to project the entire systems’ functio- ning and management logic.

Indeed, the management strongly believes that the in-house production of products is part of the company’s strength, because it allows products customi- zation and quality controls for the entire production system.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT GVF Impianti is also able to provide a complete service of in-house industrial automation, for its machineries and its complete turnkey plants, thanks to an internal software development department, which follows and studies all projects in order to provide the best solutions. The software development department takes care of the software project and the mechani- cal automation project. It also follows the creation and assembly of control, power and monitoring panels.

Moreover, in order to offer the best possible solution in terms of industrial automation, our company has established some important partnerships with major global powerhouses such as Siemens. This resulted in a fundamental quality guarantee and improvement.

DENSE PHASE PNEUMATIC CONVEYING SYSTEMS The dense phase pneumatic conveying system transports the product at low speed, using a small amount of air and reducing the energy consumption.

GVF Impianti’s technology prevents contamination between the transported materials thanks to a process control that executes cleaning cycles every product’s change.

DISTINCTIVE MARKS OF GVF PNEUMATIC CONVEYORS GVF Impianti Srl has developed during the years mainly four types of pneumatic conveyors, which sati- sfy different needs: GA, GC, GA COMBO and GA-A. GA type is

suitable for the transport of normal wearing materials, is designed with an inlet butterfly valve and is supplied complete of electro-pneumatical panel in box. GC type has been developed to convey particu- larly abrasive material, thanks to the special inlet cone valve designed by GVF Impianti, which guarantees a high resistance to wear.

The conveyor is supplied complete of its electro-pneumatical panel in box too. GA COMBO type has the same features of GA type but it is studied to be compact, economical and modular, really useful if the available space is reduced. Its distin- ctive mark is the electro-pneumatical panel installed on board the vessel. Finally, the GA-A type is suitable if it is necessary to weigh the product before the transport. Indeed, it is equipped with load cells and with a load control unit, which allows to create batches of product just before the transport.

high temperatures and high performan- ce pneumatic conveyors HP type, for long distances and big hourly capacities.

Finally, all GVF Impianti’s pneumatic conveyors offer the following advantages: automatic execution, low wear, reduced product breakages and un-mixing, low air consumption, efficient product/air ratio, low opera- tional and maintenance costs.

PNEUMATIC CONVEYING COMPONENTS AND EQUIPMENT In the pneumatic conveying systems’ production range GVF Impianti produces also all the pneumatic conveying components (such as pipeline’s boosters, pinch valves and wear-resistant bends) and diverter valves (two-ways diverter valves and multi-ways diver- ter valves).

But, what distinguishes all these pneumatic conveyors from the competitors is the special design of some components and the unique air distribution system. Indeed, all GVF Impianti’s pneumatic conveyors are equipped with outlets made in cast iron, and further strengthen by a thermal treatment. In addition, the out- let unit is equipped with spilt flanges made in cast iron too, which allow to have an easy directing of the outlet pipe.

Indeed, very interesting are the two-ways diverter val- ves which are mainly divided in 3 types: DAS, DP and Y. The two-ways diverter valves DAS type are studied to be installed on the top of the silos, in order to divert the product between more silos or to become a ter- minal box made in a wear-resistant material.

DP type allows to divert the material from one to two ways, and is particularly suitable for abrasive products. Y type is equipped with two pinch valves, and allows to select between two ways.

Very important in terms of performance is also the exclusive uniform air distribution system, which di- stributes the compressed air in three main parts of the vessel: in the outlet, laterally and in the central part.

But, if the number of ways in which the product should be sent is higher than two, GVF Impianti has developed a very interesting multi-ways diverter valve DS type, which allows to divert the material flow up to 12 destinations.

GVF Impianti Srl can supply on request also pneumatic conveyors for

Europain brings together in one place all the major players concerned with the management of businesses in the bakery pastry industry SELLING: A FRIENDLY LIVING SPACE Today, when entering the shop customers want to find more than a simple baguette or a cake. They want to be able to sit down and enjoy a pleasant moment, find hot beverages, delicacy snacks to take away or savoury products at meal times. For professionals in the industry, creating a coffee corner or a workspace, as well as optimising design and layout are some of the opportunities available to help boost sales, but they also represent challenges to keep up with the customers and the market.

The exhibitors attending Europain 2018 will present a varied offering including cafeteria products, ingredients and finished products for bakery catering, but also small equipment, appliances and services to help professionals transform local shops into versatile places where customers can come to eat and exchange.

SELLING: THE CONNECTED SHOP Digital is also affecting consumer habits significantly throughout the whole Food Service industry, including bakery pastry naturally. From checking opening hours to online sale, mobile payment and click & collect, new technology is changing the business and the services that customers have come to expect, in particular the millennials.

All the players who can help professionals ensure the transition will be present at Europain: advice, dedicated technology and equipment etc., with an emphasis on central questions such as online ordering and managing unsold products.

dressed: legal support, insurance, accounting, production planning, and of course, training and human resources management. Visitors will find for instance software packages covering all the facets of staff management.

Many technological solutions designed to save time and optimise sales will also be featured: automatic debit, stock management and staff turnover are among the many examples together with numerous other services proposed to professionals in the bakery pastry industry, regardless of the size of their business.

Finally, in the heart of the “Managing” section, the Schools street presents training programmes for all the trades in the sector. The industry is flourishing and many types of training programmes are available today: basic training, continuous training, online, short-track, etc. Students or entrepreneurs retraining in the sector will find here information on the training programmes available and possibly future collaborators. www.europain.com

ANDINA PACK 2017 TOP POSITION OF THE LEADING PROCESSING AND PACKAGING TRADE FAIR FOR THE ANDES REGION AND CENTRAL AMERICA EXPANDED - For the first time more than 500 exhibitors - 53 percent international exhibitors - 18062 trade visitors - Extensive event programme for trends and innovations

A

ndina Pack has once again impressively confirmed its position as the leading trade fair for processing and packaging technology in the Andes Region and Central America. From 7 to 10 November 2017, 503 exhibitors, 17 percent more than at the last Andina Pack, from 27 countries presented their products and solutions for the food and drink, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics industries in Bogota (Colombia).

With a share of 53 percent, an increase of 32 percent in comparison to the previous edition, more companies came from abroad than ever before. 18062 trade visitors from 30 countries profited from the unique access to solutions, market innovations and trends.

The exhibitors underlined in particular the high, again increased quality of trade visitors, the significant growth in internationality as well as the potential for concrete business deals.

The exhibition space of Andina Pack grew by a total of 18 percent, while the share of companies booking

from outside of Colombia increased by 17 percent.

of Koelnmesse GmbH summarised the success of the trade fair.

“The increase in internationality and the good results of the event on the whole clearly show that Andina Pack is the most important trade and communication platform for the attractive, striving growth markets in Colombia and the region”, is how Gerald Böse, President and Chief Executive Officer

marised the trade fair: “This sector is a great driving force of the country’s economy and continuously presents an optimal growth, which made Andina Pack 2017 an important business platform and a space that presented the best market and business opportunities and delivered outstanding results for both national and international exhibitors.” Andina Pack was organised for the first time in 2017

CONFERENCES

jointly by Koelnmesse and Corferias Bogotá; it has taken place every two years since 1991.

Growth in international exhibitors The increase in internationality at Andina Pack shows that, in addition to the national exhibitors, international companies also recognise the potential and are opening up the growing

market for their business activity.

The forecasts of renowned market research institutes certify a strongly growing demand for Colombia and the neighbouring countries of the region in numerous areas of daily life, for example, in the use of processed foods, in the health and cosmetics markets.

A significantly increasing need for modern processing and packaging machinery and new technologies is therefore expected.

For this reason, the list of participants of Andina Pack included, besides many top companies from Colombia, renowned international manufacturers from 26 other countries.

For many international companies and their foreign branch offices and representations, Andina Pack 2017 was a premiere and the step toward accessing the growth markets in Colombia and Central America.

The strongest participating foreign countries were Argentina, Brazil, China, Germany, France, India, Italy, Mexico, Spain and the USA. Top brands like BASF, Bosch Group, DuPont, Gerresheimer, Hewlett Packard, Honeywell, Multivac, Owens Illinois, Sartorius, Smurfit Kappa and Tesa Tape (Beiersdorf AG) presented their products and solutions. A total of 12 international pavilions from Argentina, Brasil, China, Germany, France, India, Italy, Mexico, Peru, Spain and from the United States were represented at Andina Pack.

For the first time there was a German pavilion at Andina Pack at the request of the German Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (VDMA) and sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. Under the “Made in Germany” umbrella, AZO Liquids,

Both offerings focused on futureoriented new products and developments for the industry and convinced exhibitors and trade visitors. On the agenda were the latest global industry trends and their implications and possibilities for transfer to the market and the industry in Latin America.

Four renowned cooperation partners presented an extremely relevant and high quality programme.

In addition to the Instituto Argentino del Envase and the Asociación Colombiana de Ciencia y Tecnologá de Alimentos, the Instituto de Capacitación e Investigación del Plástico y del Caucho participate in cooperation with Acoplásticos and the Asociación Colombiana de la Industria de la Comunicación Gráfica (Andigraf).

Many exhibitors also made use of the opportunity offered by the “Speakers Corner” to present their new products and solutions to an interested trade public in short sessions.

“Innovation Capsule”: Special event for product innovations For the first time, the organisers presented an “Innovation Capsule” and honoured the 22 best innovations of the exhibitors.

Companies could submit new products and innovations to a committee of representatives from the Innovation Centre of the Universidad de los Andes (Innovades).

The awarded new products were presented in a special exhibition area during the trade fair.

EXHIBITOR OPINIONS “When we noticed that Koelnmesse was organising Andina Pack, we had many expectations that the 2017 edition would be very special in terms of internationalisation, organisation and communications.

We can say that Andina Pack met our expectations. Not only in positioning our brand, but also with important sales of technology. It was an excellent show for us.”

MULTIVAC, Jairo A. Rodriguez Taylor, Director General Colombia & Ecuador “The customers and companies that have come to visit us have demonstrated very active interests in 2018 opportunities.”

BOSCH, Mario Pino, Sales Director – Latin America

“REDA is specialised in all liquid food treatments. The Colombian market is very important for us and very receptive. We noticed that Andina Pack is an important meeting point for our customers, especially in the dairy sector.”

REDA, Alessandro Marcato, Area Export Manager “The key people from the industry are here. I was suprised to see many people from Honduras, Guatemala and Costa Rica here.”

nterested companies can now register for upakovka 2018, to be held at AO Expocenter Krasnaja Presnja in Moscow from 23 to 26 January 2018. Exhibitors already signed up for the coming trade fair include Sollich, Krones, Konica Minolta, TMI and Comexi. There will once again be an official German federal participation in 2018 with a registration deadline of 22 September of this year.

Despite the current political climate Russian food production is expanding and both Russian and international companies are continuing to invest in setting up and developing local production capacities. The resulting upswing at the last edition of upakovka with considerable rises in visitor numbers and satisfied exhibitors is now impacting companies’ general registration behaviour: there is a clear trend towards enlarged stands.

As part of Messe Düsseldorf’s international interpack alliance, upakovka benefits from the successful and established special themes at interpack as the world’s most important event in the packaging sector and related process industries. For instance, the last upakovka saw the innovationparc celebrate its highly regarded premiere. The forum for this parc was very well attended on all days of the trade fair with trade visitors appreciating this opportunity to gather information on selected innovations and discuss creative and future-oriented packaging solutions.

The focus at the forthcoming innova-

tionparc, like the special theme at interpack 2017, is the topic of Industry 4.0. It generated a great deal of interest in Düsseldorf. Visitors in Moscow can now expect application examples of solutions from the packaging machinery and process technology sector that open up new dimensions in terms of safety, tracking, protection against copying and plagiarism as well as custom packaging. The area of the special show organised in collaboration with t h e food processing and packaging machinery association within the German Engineering Federation (VDMA) is set to grow in size compared with last year.

Also part of the supporting programme again – after the launch of the initiative in Russia at the last

upakovka – is the special topic SAVE FOOD featuring a presentation of new projects on the first day of the trade fair (23 January). The Russian office of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) headed by director Eugenia Serova invited high-ranking representatives from ministries and industry to the 2017 premiere to focus on food loss and waste in Russia and to present solutions. Amongst others, the Dairy Union of Russia and the Food Bank “Rus” joined the SAVE FOOD initiative. The programme for SAVE FOOD at upakovka 2018 is currently under preparation.

T

he leading processing and packaging exhibition in Asia, has attracted the greatest amount of attention from exhibitors since its inauguration. Just over 600 overseas and domestic exhibitors participated in the event held from Nov. 7-10, including Multivac, HPRPC and other leading processing and packaging manufacturers. 20,053 visitors from nearly 80 countries and regions, such as China, the USA, Russia, South Korea, Japan, India, Vietnam and Malaysia came to the SNIEC fairgrounds to see latest innovations. The 4-day large-scale exhibition was organized by Messe Düsseldorf (Shanghai) Co., Ltd

(MDS), Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd. Visitors also benefited greatly from the event, learning not only about cuttingedge innovative technologies but also about the status of the packaging market. Whether in terms of exhibition topics, concurrent conferences or exhibitor demonstrations swop 2017 focused on innovation much more compared with the previ-

ous exhibition. In particular, the SAVE FOOD initiative, with its debut in China,

ie führende Verarbeitungsund Verpackungsfachmesse in Asien, konnte die größte Ausstellerbeteiligung seit ihrer Eröffnung verzeichnen. Knapp über 600 Aussteller aus China und Übersee nahmen an der Veranstaltung vom 7. – 10. November teil – darunter Multivac, HPRPC und andere führende Hersteller aus dem Bereich Verpackung und verwandte Prozesse.

20.053 Besucher aus knapp 80 Ländern wie China, den USA, Russland, Südkorea, Japan, Indien, Vietnam und Malaysia kamen zum Messegelände SNIEC, um die neusten Innovationen zu sehen.

Die viertägige Messe wurde von der Messe Düsseldorf (Shanghai) Co., Ltd (MDS) und Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd. veranstaltet. Die Besucher profitierten in erheblichem Maße von der Veranstaltung, da sie sich nicht nur über die neusten technologischen Innovationen informieren konnten, sondern auch über die Marktlage im Verpackungssektor.

Sowohl im Bezug auf Messethemen, als auch auf zeitgleich laufende Konferenzen oder Ausstellerpräsentationen legte die swop 2017 einen wesentlich größeren Schwerpunkt auf das Thema Innovationen als die vorhergehende Messe. Vor allem die In-

itiative SAVE FOOD und ihr Debut in China sowie die aufgewertete FMCG Future Zone erhielten branchenweiten Zuspruch. „Die Nachfrage nach modernen Verarbeitungsverfahren und Verpackungen in China wächst mit der immer rasanteren Urbanisierung und dem steigenden Konsum der Mittelschicht. Die swop mit ihren vier Messen und innovativen Sonderthemen ist die Plattform für modernste Technologien und Ideen aus einer Hand“, sagte Hans Werner Reinhard, Geschäftsführer der Messe Düsseldorf GmbH.

and the newly upgraded FMCG Future Zone have been widely acclaimed.

“With the acceleration of urbanization and the rising consumption level of the middle class, the demand for modern processing and packaging in China is also on the rise. swop, with its four exhibitions and innovative themes, is the one-stop platform for the most advanced technologies and ideas”, said Mr. Hans Werner Reinhard, Managing Director of Messe Düsseldorf GmbH. “As one of the newly-launched membership exhibitions of the interpack alliance based on interpack, the world’s leading trade fair for processing and packaging, swop has undoubtedly gained more exposure in the global market and attracted more top industry experts to visit China,” commented Mr. Bernd Jablonowski, Global Portfolio Director Processing and Packaging, Messe Düsseldorf.

“This year, swop continues to feature the entire value chain of packaging,

from packaging materials production and processing, primary packaging, secondary packaging, logistics/e-commerce packaging to packaging materials and containers, all in one fair. Also the exhibition serves eight industries mainly: food, beverage, bakery, confectionary, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, non-food consumer goods and industrial commodities. This makes swop the first ever one-stop sourcing platform covering the entire value chain”, said Mr. Stanley Chu – Chairman of Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd.

„Als eine der neu eingeführten Messen der interpack alliance, der Messefamilie der interpack als Weltleitmesse für Processing und Packaging, hat die swop zweifelsohne nun mehr Aufmerksamkeit auf dem Weltmarkt erregt und mehr führende Branchenexperten nach China gelockt“, kommentierte Bernd Jablonowski, Global Portfolio Director Processing and Packaging, Messe Düsseldorf.

Sourcing-Plattform, die die gesamte Wertschöpfungskette abdeckt“, sagt Stanley Chu – der Vorsitzende von Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd.

„Auch in diesem Jahr hat die swop wieder die gesamte Wertschöpfungskette der Verpackung abgebildet – von der Packstoffherstellung und -verarbeitung, über Primär- und Sekundärverpackung sowie Logistik-/E-Commerce-Verpackung bis zu Verpackungsmaterial und -behältern – alles unter dem Dach einer Messe. Die Messe bedient zudem im Kern acht Branchen: Lebensmittel, Getränke, Backwaren, Süßwaren, Kosmetika, Pharmazeutika, Non-Food Konsumgüter und Industriegüter. Damit wird die swop zur ersten One-Stop

Innovation in exhibits: Industry 4.0, intelligent, digital and sustainable In following the “Made in China 2025” blueprint, the intelligent manufacture of packaging is the trend of the times and many exhibitors have embodied this. For example, the connection of intelligent software with machines better meets individualized needs. At the exhi-

So kann zum Beispiel die Verbindung von intelligenter Software mit Maschinen individualisierten Bedarf besser decken. Auf der Messe war außerdem das Thema nachhaltige Entwicklung omnipräsent. Zahlreiche Unternehmen präsentierten ihre Anstrengungen zur Verringerung der Verpackungsmaterialstärke, zur Senkung des Ressourcenverbrauchs und Optimierung der Produktionsverfahren. Darüber hinaus liegen ‚grüne‘ und umweltfreundliche Verpackungsmaterialien stark im Trend.

bition venue, the theme of sustainable development was everywhere. Many companies have demonstrated their efforts in terms of reduced thickness of packaging materials, lower resource consumption and improved manufacturing processes. In addition, green and eco-friendly packaging materials have become an important trend.

SAVE FOOD debut show in China yields brilliant results Six years since its introduction, the SAVE FOOD initiative by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations and Messe Düsseldorf GmbH, organizer of interpack, has grown into a broad-based international coalition with more than 850 international members covering relevant industries, associations, non-govern-

SAVE FOOD premiered as a special theme at swop 2017 and was featured within the exhibition area in Hall W2 along with an international summit on the second day of the show. Vincent Martin, China and North Korean representative from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, was invited to visit the scene and deliver a speech on “Reducing global food waste through innovation and partnership.” Martin pointed out that, “the lack of proper and sustainable packaging solutions in the Asia Pacific region is one of the major causes of food

korea, hielt eine Rede mit dem Thema „Reduktion der weltweiten Lebensmittelverschwendung durch Innovationen und Partnerschaften.“ Martin unterstrich „(…) dass das Fehlen geeigneter und nachhaltiger Verpackungslösungen in der Region Asien-Pazifik zu den Hauptgründen für Lebensmittelverschwendung gehört und Verpackung für ihre Senkung entscheidend ist.

Dazu muss die Lebensmittelbranche eng mit der Verpackungsindustrie zusammenarbeiten.“ Gleichzeitig stellte Multivac seine „MultiFresh“ Folienverpackung vor, eine neue Verpackungsform, bei der die Folie wie eine zweite Haut über dem Produkt liegt und seine ursprüngliche Form intakt hält, was besonders geeignet für die Verpackung von Frischfleisch ist. TOMRA Sorting zeigte, wie man Verluste beträchtlich senken, Kosten einsparen und die Rentabilität von Lebensmittelunternehmen durch schnelle und energieeffizi-

waste and packaging is critical to reducing that. In order to do so, the food industry must work closely with the packaging industry.” At the same time, Multivac exhibited its “MultiFresh” skin packaging, an emerging packaging that affixes film as tightly on the surface of the product as a layer of skin, keeping the original product’s shape intact which is especially suitable for packaging fresh meat. TOMRA Sorting showed how to significantly reduce losses, save costs and improve profitability of food companies through fast and energy-efficient sorting technology. The US MOCON, Xiamen Changsu and Beijing Lantsai shared the modified atmosphere packaging testing equipment, high-barrier BOPA, smart labels and other cutting-edge products and technologies from the perspective of improving packaging and extending food shelf life.

HISPACK 2018 FUSES PACKAGING, PROCESS AND LOGISTICS IN AN EDITION MARKED

BY GROWTH • With six months to go, the show is already bigger than in 2015 • Hispack expects to bring together more than 700 direct exhibitors • Held at the same time as FoodTech Barcelona (8 - 11 May)

H

ispack is preparing an edition marked by growth in line with the strong performance shown by the packaging industry, which is rapidly consolidating its recovery. From 8 to 11 May, Hispack will host the largest packaging ecosystem in the Iberian market, adding process and logistics to its offering and activities, showcasing worldclass innovation and attracting professionals from different sectors that are users of package and packaging solutions. Thus, the show expects to bring 700 direct exhibitors to three halls in Fira de Barcelona’s Gran Via Exhibition Centre in 35,000 square metres net of exhibition space, which will mean a 15% growth in the number of stands and a 12% growth in the area occupied compared with the last edition three years ago.

Hispack will be offering bespoke packaging, processing and logistics solutions to manufacturers and distributors of food, drinks, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, perfumes and drugstore products among other industrial and consumer sectors.

With six months still to go, the prospects are excellent, as Hispack has exceeded the area occupied in 2015 and, at this moment, has confirmed the presence of 500 direct exhibitors from 19 countries.

At the same time, Hispack will once again share its dates and venue with FoodTech Barcelona, the new name for the trade fair for food industry technologies that will be showcasing every aspect of food manufacturing. Food

industry professionals will be able to find solutions at this double trade fair, to everything from ingredients to production processes via packaging and arrival at the point of purchase.

Javier Riera-Marsá, President of the Organizing Committee, explains that Hispack 2018’s proposal “offers a strategic, multidisciplinary approach to packaging that encompasses its entire life cycle and its interconnections with other processes and with the supply chain, and also involving different professional profiles”.

Thus, Hispack 2018 will present packaging as an economic driving force and a key ingredient in industry’s digital transformation, putting the spotlight on four major challenges that the package and packaging industry needs to address: sustainability, automation and digitisation, logistics and user experience. These challenges will be reflected both in the trade offering and in the programme of activities.

A broader offering and internationality As is customary, the sectors specialising in machinery and accessories used to manufacture packages and packaging and processing, bottling or coding and marking equipment make up more than half of the show’s exhibitors. However, this year, Hispack is promoting particularly the presence of raw materials, logistics and automation suppliers, which already account for 40% of the confirmed stands. There is also strong growth in the presence of companies in the Premiumpack area, reserved for suppliers of materials, finishes and packaging for mid to top-of-the-range products, particularly in the gourmet food, beverages, cosmetics, perfumes and pharmacy segments. POS, engineering, consulting and services companies, associations and organisations, and also recovery and recycling firms complete the show’s trade offering.

At the same time, Hispack plans to grow in internationality, with almost one third of its direct exhibitors coming from abroad. After Spain, the country that is contributing most companies so far is Italy, followed by Turkey, Germany, France, Holland, Portugal and China.

in each of these areas and, on the other hand, to build with us Hispack’s programme of activities, giving tangible form to packaging innovations and knowledge and offering answers to the needs raised by the demand sectors and also by very diverse professional profiles”.

The presence of more international brands confirms the renewed appeal of the Spanish packaging market for its dynamic demand and Hispack’s role and capacity to draw professionals from other markets abroad that are geographically and culturally close to Spain, mainly from Europe (led by Portugal), Latin America and Mediterranean countries.

As Xavier Pascual, the show’s manager, explained, together with FoodTech Barcelona, Hispack is undertaking direct promotion activities in 14 countries (Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey, Poland, Portugal, France, Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom), to identify buyers with specific projects that could be invited to the show. It is also organising trade missions in another 7 markets with growth potential (USA, Argentina, Iran, India, Indonesia, Thailand and Ghana). The aim is to attract about 4,000 foreign professionals to the show. Together with FoodTech Barcelona, Hispack expects to exceed 38,000 visitors in total.

New content generated from shared knowledge In order to encompass the entire packaging ecosystem, Hispack has formed four collaborative task groups for each of the main challenges defined for this year (sustainability, automation and digitisation, logistics and user experience), whose members include more than 45 experts among representatives from the supply, demand and industry organisations. According to Xavier Pascual, these groups perform a two-fold function: “on the one hand, to define Hispack’s value proposition

Hispack will also include the Graphispag area, which will show the latest contributions by the printing industry to the packaging world. Here, suppliers will show examples of printed applications and specific finishes for packages, packaging and POS, together with graphic services companies.

The show will also have a Lecture Corner specialised in packaging and retail, run by the Graphispack Asociación, where experts will talk about trends, success stories and solutions. In addition, the award-giving ceremony for the recently decided Liderpack Awards 2017 will be held as part of Hispack.

Lastly, Hispack has signed cooperation agreements with some 50 professional associations, clusters, technology centres or foundations from around Spain that represent the transversality of the packaging industry, from both the supply and demand sides. The aims is to structure an ecosystem that encompasses innovation, industry and market and facilitating knowledge exchange and professional networking, not only during the show but also between editions through the Pack Experience agenda.
