Over 50 Years of Innovation for the Food Industry Developing breakthrough technologies, from automated pomegranate handling and sulfur-free lychee treatment, to innovative dehydrators, date sorting systems and clod and stone separators, Juran continues to innovate and green the food industry

J

uran has been impacting agrotechnology and the food industry worldwide, developing 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. Over fifty years of joint activities have yielded innovative R&D projects and many jointly registered patents.

The pomegranate handling breakthrough A prime example and flagship Juran product, is the ArilSystem™, an automated system for extracting the juicy seeds from pomegranates. Although one of nature’s most remarkably health enhancing fruits, its consumption has not been commensurate with its value. This is largely due to the messy and time consuming process of extracting the arils. And when the seeds are provided ready extracted, they are too expensive due to the labor-intensive extraction process. Juran’s ArilSystem has changed all that.

The ArilSystem™ 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 automatically and 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 – 2-4 workers replace over 150 (with the big machine)!

• Minimal waste – 95% efficiency • Better Taste – Tannin-free tastier juice

• Higher Quality – Hygienic Food Safety Standards • Increased Output - Industrial capacity up to 56 fruits/minute • Longer shelf-life – Due to hygienic procedure Good news for the juice 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.

Juran has also developed an ArilSystem Juicer that obtains pure pomegranate juice from the arils alone, for a far tastier beverage. And as an

• Greatly increases marketing window • All natural process • Tested and field-proven And a range of other industrychanging innovations…

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 over 2,000 kg fruit/ hour, can yield over 650 kg/hour of superior quality arils, all from a single production line.

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.” Juran’s ArilSystems are currently operating in Australia, India, China, South Africa, Turkey, Israel, Spain, Greece, Italy, the UK, USA, Chile, and Azerbaijan.

Greener methods for redder lychees Juran is dedicated to making food processing more natural, with healthier products on the market, and so they addressed the issue of lychees. Starting out an attractive red, lychees lose their vibrant color within 2 or 3 days, becoming an unappealing brown. To overcome this marketing drawback, lychees undergo a sulfur treatment that maintains their color longer. 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. The good news,” Avner tells us, “is that lychees needn’t be soaked in toxins to keep them market-red.”

Juran’s Sulfur-Free Lychee Treatment and Packing House involves nothing more than a temperature regulated water and salt treatment. It preserves the beautiful rich red color of lychees for up to 4-5 weeks! That’s a very significantly extended marketing window and shelf life. What’s more, 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 including an automatic sizer with five size/grading groups compliant with EEC and USA market requirements. With packing capacity limited only by customer demand, Juran Lychee Treatment Systems and Packing Houses have been installed in China, Thailand, Israel and Australia.

World-class heat processing systems Juran’s Single Conveyor Dryer is today’s most widely used continuous dryer in the global food industry. Also developed by Juran are the MultiStage Single Conveyor for particularly demanding products, Multiple Conveyor Dryer for maximum drying in minimum space, and Mutli-Purpose Dehydrators for a wide variety of fruit and vegetables.

Streamlined date handling Always looking for new ways to streamline produce handling, Juran’s Date Sorting & Grading System features an automated or manual receiving line with integrated rinsing and sorting tables. Robots empty and load crates, and the sorting system includes up to 8 sorting lanes. Handling is quicker, labor-saving, and hygienic.

Juran’s Clod & Stone Separator is a unique system separating agricultural produce from unwanted spurious material at superior levels (95%) of efficiency. Its flexibility allows it to handle a wide range of commodities.

Developed and tested by the Israel Government Institute for Agricultural Research – Volcani Research Centre, it is currently marketed worldwide through the UK, Germany, Belgium, France, Holland and USA. The separator system and drum technology hold European, American and Australian patents. www.juran.co.il

A distinctly international 15th edition The next edition of DJAZAGRO, the trade fair for agri-food production, will be held from 10 to 13 April 2017 at the SAFEX Exhibition Centre Algiers - Algeria

E

xpansion in 2017 In the wake of its successful 2016 show, DJAZAGRO continues to expand with the opening of a new hall for its 15th anniversary.

An industry reference trade show for a fast-developing market According to a 2013 report by the World Bank, the African agri-food market was worth 310 billion dollars and could grow to 1,000 billion dollars by 2030.

Today, Africa imports half of all the rice it eats, amounting to 3.5 billion dollars per year. Consequently, by investing in the agri-food industry, African countries will gain access to regional and world markets, increase the availability of food within their own borders and increase their exports.

The African market holds incredible potential, with a population of approximately 170 million and annual average growth of 8%s since 1999.

Furthermore, according to International Monetary Fund statistics, annual per capita income has risen from $310 to $1725 in the past fifteen years. The objective of many African countries is to develop their local production to increase their

self-sufficiency in staple foods, such is the case in Algeria with its National Farming and Rural Development Plan (PNDAR). As a result, requirements for agricultural and food processing equipment are also increasing. This growth is reflected at DJAZAGRO through the 26% increase between 2015 and 2016 in exhibitor numbers in the Processing, Packing and Canning sector.

With the strong growth of the African middle class, professionallymade bread, which was previously seen as a luxury good, is fast gaining market appeal, which explains the increasing space occupied by the Bakery and Pastry sector at the show.

Concomitantly with this new African middle class, eating habits are also changing on the continent. Africa is starting to see “standardised” food offerings, with the arrival of fast food brands, to give but one example. “Urban” Africans who work all day long are changing their dietary patterns and eating meals away outside the home (pizzerias, bars, sandwich bars, etc.), generating substantial growth in the catering sector.

In parallel, demand is rising for food and drink products, going as far as the quest for increasingly innovative ingredients to cater to the new

demands of fast-evolving consumer patterns.

Visitors from all over Africa 8% of visitors to DJAZAGRO in 2016 came from outside Algeria and from 30 different countries.

Around fifteen African countries displayed an interest in the exhibition: Burkina Faso, Burundi, Congo, Egypt, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Togo and Tunisia.

DJAZAGRO has teamed up with the powerful Promosalons network in Africa to extend the show’s influence beyond the Algerian borders, with the aim of attracting delegations of buyers and officials from North and sub-Saharan Africa.

Olivia Milan, new director of the DJAZAGRO trade fair at COMEXPOSIUM Olivia Milan has been appointed exhibition director of DJAZAGRO, the Trade Fair for Agri-Food Production, and SIMA-SIPSA, the Livestock and Agri-Business Show, both held in Algiers (Algeria), following 24 years spent within the COMEXPOSIUM group.

She succeeds Christophe Painvin, under whose impetus these shows expanded from 2011 to 2016.

Olivia started out in the trade show sales and marketing division of the COMEXPOSIUM group, where she has spent the vast majority of her career.

From 2004 to 2010, she specialised in the management of food industry events, up until 2010 supervising the exhibitions Boulangerie, Euro-

pain, IPA and DJAZAGRO, where which she had her first experience as exhibition director.

In 2010 she moved to work in the management of the SIAL Group, a network of 9 trade shows dedicated to the food industry all over the world.

Building on this experience she contributed to the creation of two of these global shows: SIAL Brazil and SIAL Abu Dhabi. From January 2013, Olivia Milan dedicated her energies to the exhibitions of COMEXPOSIUM’S Real Estate division: 5 shows in Paris, Lyon and Toulouse. She thus gained insight into a new business sector and further enhanced her know-how in trade and consumer events.

She today joins the AFCO division (Agriculture equipment, Food, Construction and Optics) at COMEXPOSIUM and will put her expertise to use for DJAZAGRO, whose next edition will be held from 10 to 13 April 2017, and SIMA-SIPSA, which will take place from 10 to 13 October 2017 in Algiers (Algeria). www.djazagro.com

EQUIPMENT FOR TROPICAL FOOD PROCESSING

T

he standards for quality for tropical fruits are becoming more and more stringent.

It is therefore mandatory that the equipment used for their processing be continuously updated in order to maximize the yield and quality of the juice / puree extracted. This is in fact the basis to keep quality in the subsequent operations of heat treatment, evaporation (when it occurs) and packaging.

One of the way to meet the target of a good extraction is the use of dedicated machines for the various “families” of fruits having similar characteristics.

On the contrary of the “Universal machines” the dedicated juice / puree extraction machines are taylor made taking into account the peculiarities of the fruits: the good juice extraction from a passion fruit, for instance, is something of completely

different from the extraction of juice / pulp from a pineapple. The use of dedicated machines avoids the compromises that, otherwise, has to be accepted. The use of dedicated machines avoids to a large extend the contamination caused by the peel to the juice / puree. This contamination can consists in color (for instance the purple variety of passion fruit, the chlorophyll of the pineapple peel etc) as well as in the bitter / not palatable components as well as the pesticides and other chemicals.

Bertuzzi Food Processing, a leading Italian Company operates since 1936 in the design and construction of machinery and plants for the processing of fruits and vegetables and has gained a wide experience in the field of tropical fruits processing for which has developed a number of specific, dedicated machines and technologies for the juicing of pineapple, passion fruit, acerola, dragon fruit, pomelo, banana, mango, guava, litchee, ranbutan, coconut etc. www.bertuzzi.it

P.E. LABELLERS IN THE FOOD AND DAIRY MARKETS

P.E.

LABELLERS has gained many references in any market sector, included the food and dairy ones. P.E. LABELLERS collaborates with Cargill, Farchioni olii S.p.A., Menz&Gasser S.p.A., Laitierie Soummam e Lactalis.

Cargill offers worldwide food, industrial and also financial products.

Cargill requires to P.E. LABELLERS a modular labeller solution for 20,000 bph that is able to apply pre-cut paper labels with a spray glue system and self-adhesive labels, non-stop front and back. The solution presented was a configuration developed with the MODULAR TOP machine, with a primitive diameter of 810, with label application quality controls included, which is also able to fulfil frequent daily label format change requirements.The outcome has been that P.E. LABELLERS supplied Cargill directly, on a continuous basis, or indirectly through partnerships with other machine manufacturers who are selected as preferential suppliers. The P.E. LABELLERS labelling machines considered by Cargill Group are all modular and suitable for the application of self-adhesive and glue-applied labels, suitable for simple and quick format changes.

Farchioni olii S.p.A. is one of the most important Italian food producer, located in Umbria. Farchioni produces olive oil, wine and flour. The management has decided to find an Italian partner, independent and easy to establish a rapport with, who is able to supply self-adhesive or cold glue labellers for glass and PET formats in the olive oil sector.

P.E. LABELLERS presents its solution, developing machines in the MODULAR FIX series, with mechanical cam and

PLUS with electronic cam, equipped with adhesive label application and cold glue units, depending on which production line is installed. The study was conducted in an attempt to contain production costs as much as possible, offering machines that are built according to the high P.E. standard.

So, P.E. LABELLERS has proven to be a reliable partner supplying the Farchioni family with more than 7 labellers for their olive oil production, one labeller for their craft beer line and one for packaging the wines from their vineyard.

In the Italian food market sector P.E. LABELLERS has got a new reference in its customers portfolio, Menz&Gasser S.p.A., which produces and packs jams and marmalades up. Menz&Gasser offers to its customers different kind of products, like honey in different size pots, from the single portions to the glass pots, fruit syrups, granitas and cocktails and finally Nocciolino, the tasty cream made with hazelnuts.

The machine due to be delivered to the client in the first half of 2016 will be a

MODULAR TOP machine with modules fitted with cold glue and self-adhesive units. These will be interchangeable units according to the specific need of the buyer to adapt each container the labels will be applied on. Menz&Gasser S.p.A. asked to have a performing machine, which indeed will reach a production speed of 36,000 bph, and yet with maximum processing flexibility owing to marketing needs to be able to meet ever-changing market trends.

The labelling machine, which in future will be combined with a PE MAYA sleever, is at the design stage in P.E. LABELLERS’ R&D department. This aspect shows P.E. LABELLERS’ focus on meeting the client’s requirements, as it is able to vertically integrate P.E. LABELLERS solutions to fully package Menz&Gasser products and customise the labelling machine with elements that have not been designed for this specific use.

In the dairy market sector P.E. LABELLERS works together with Laitierie Soummam. Laitierie Soummam

wants to install, at their dairy production lines in Algeria, easy to use labelling machines for the application of sleeve labels on cylindrical PET and HDPE formats. P.E. LABELLERS presented Soummam with the Adhesleeve labelling machine, which is able to apply OPP or ROSO labels with the possibility of heat shrinkage of up to 16-18%. The same machine is also suitable for treating containers with and without shrinkage, by simply changing the type of film.

The main outcome is over 5 years, P.E. LABELLERS has supplied the customer with 3 Adhesleeve labelling machines which have made it possible to reduce maintenance costs and times by 50% in comparison to traditional roll-fed machines. These have offered the advantage of being able to apply normal and heat-shrink labels on the same machine, minimising the amount of space occupied by the bottling line and also

reducing the initial and final economic investment to a minimum. Another relevant reference is Lactalis which is a benchmark company in the market of milk and milk-derived products is the Lactalis Italia Group, founded in 2007, which also comprises the Galbani world (which joined the Lactalis Group in 2006) and the other Italian companies that were already part of the French group with the brands Invernizzi, Cademartori, Locatelli and Président.

The Lactalis Italia Group is a leading company in the market of dairy products in Italy and a major player in the market of cold meats. Its sells more than 300 products and is present in over 100 countries thanks to Galbani, the worldleading brand of Italian cheeses. The company has purchased FUTURA 810, a labelling machine customised upon request. The customisations made were the following: plate-holder discs, plate

supports and stainless steel plates, a perimeter drip-tray duct, double label storage and a spray group, in collaboration with Nordson. All the customisations made on the machine highlight the attention that P.E. LABELLERS pays to the needs of its clients and reflects its constant attention to meeting all requests. In 2015, the Lactalis Group was supplied with a ROLLMATIC 810 roll-fed machine for OPP labels to be applied on glass bottle formats bottled with fresh, non-pasteurised milk. In conclusion P.E. LABELLERS tries to suit any customer need, so P.E. LABELLERS design, realize and deliver customized labelling machines to better suit the customer’s requests. The customization is always under the P.E. LABELLERS high level standards which come from the fortyyears’ experience. www.pelabellers.com

EASYSNACKING™ BREAKS THE ICE FOR FROZEN YOGHURT

T

he award-winning EasySnacking™ pack from RPC Superfos has played a crucial role in the success of a new range of frozen yogurt from Luxlait, Luxembourg’s leading dairy company. Available in three flavours peach and passion fruit, strawberry, and caramel with salted butter and pecan nuts - the frozen yogurt has a creamy and light texture to provide the treat of ice cream but with fewer calories. For each flavour, there is a matching coulis: caramel, strawberry, or passionfruit. Luxlait cites the sleek injection moulded PP EasySnacking™ container, which includes a stylish spoon in the lid and makes eating on-thego an indulgent experience, as one of the reasons that sales have surpassed expectations. Jérôme Lejeune, the company’s purchase manager, explains why EasySnacking™ was the perfect choice: “We chose the EasySnacking™ pot because we were intrigued by the general

look and feel of it. It conveys something modern and young, and even has a dash of ergonomic design because it is so soft and smooth. Further, we appreciate the integral, organically-formed spoon, which is quite solid and therefore perfect for scooping frozen yogurt.” Another major benefit, according to Luxlait, are the transparent lids in striking colours – one for each flavour – which afford end-users a glimpse of the beautiful pattern from the coulis on top of the frozen yoghurt. “Sales have surpassed our expectations, and part of our success lies in the packaging,” continues Jérôme Lejeune. “We have been working with RPC Superfos for more than 15 years now, and know the company as a serious packaging supplier who regularly visits us and presents new packaging ideas to us. The idea of using the EasySnacking™ pack was spot on.” Frozen yoghurt from Luxlait was initially targeted at younger customers, but has proved popular with

a much broader segment of the market.

In response to the series’ success, Luxlait is currently working on the introduction of two additional flavours, vanilla and raspberry. Since its launch, EasySnacking™ has garnered much acclaim. It recently received the Product Innovation Award 2016 from The Foodservice Packaging Association, and was a finalist in the category “Best convenience/on-the-go packaging” at the World Food Innovations Awards. It also holds a Scanstar Award from the Nordic packaging competition of the same name.

But what about the homogenizing principle? In order to permanently mix one or more substances in a liquid, a homogenizer must be used in such a way as to make it possible to micronize and disperse the suspended particles in the fluid, rendering it highly stable even during successive treatments and storage.

The product reaches the homogenizing valve at a low speed and at high pressure. As it passes through the valve, it is subject to various

FBF ITALIA Vendita e assistenza Omogeneizzatori Alta Pressione

FBF Deutschland

forces that cause the micronization of the particles: violent acceleration followed by immediate deceleration causes cavitation with explosion of the globules, intense turbulence together with high-frequency vibrations, impact deriving from the laminar passage between the homogenizing valve surfaces and consequent collision with impact ring.

Homogenization can occur with the use of a single stage homogenizing valve (suitable for dispersion treatment), or double stage homogenizing valve (recommended for use with emulsions and for viscosity control when requested).

Sanitizing and preserving with ozone

De Nora, with its series of De Nora Next ozonizers, offers effective solutions for meat, cold cuts, cheese, fresh pasta, bread and pastries

A

full range of well-tested ozone-based application solutions, that De Nora, a company that has been operating in the electrochemical field for over 90 years, can offer, due to its cooperation with important partners and its commitment in research projects.

“Ozone has numerous applications due to its oxidizing and anti-microbial properties”, explains Cristian Carboni, Ozone Application Specialist at De Nora, “it oxidizes not only bacteria, yeasts and moulds but also other organic and residual compounds that may be present in water or on surfaces, without leaving any traces!

Ozone is also effective against biofilm, a problem that many food companies have only discovered over the past few years. In fact, the bacteria present in biofilm may be viable but nonculturable, which makes them difficult to detect using traditional methods of analysis such as cultivation on Petri dishes”. “Companies often ask me if the use of ozone affects the quality of the product.

Chemical and sensory analysis have shown that, when used correctly, ozone does not affect the taste even of delicate products such as culatello, stracchino, taleggio, gorgonzola, salami, speck, raw ham and ricotta and does not produce peroxides or oxidation byproducts”.

The Dairy Industry Many studies have shown that ozone is effective in the treatment of water for cooling mozzarella cheese, which may contain bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Pseudomonas

Taleggio ripened in air and rooms sanitized with ozone; fluorescens (cause of the blue streaks in mozzarella and other products); in the treatment of rinsing water used, for example, in CIP (Cleaning In Place) cycles to avoid transferring any contaminants that have survived the sanitization process from one tank to another; and process water that may be contaminated by the biofilm present in pipes and brine regeneration. Ozone improves the quality and safety of the products with no risks for staff.

The research conducted by the University of Udine, Department of Food Science and CNR ISPA, Institute of sciences of food production, entitled ‘Use of ozone in the production chain of high moisture mozzarella cheese’, published in 2013, shows how ozone is effective in reducing the contamination caused by the use of water, in the production processes of the Dairy industry.

It has also been demonstrated by many studies that gaseous ozone is also effective in sanitizing the rooms used for cheese maturation and ripening in that it prevents the development of undesired moulds (image 1) and mites, during the ripening stage,

and the presence of insects such as Piophila casei. In addition ozone has proven efficacy against Listeria Monocytogenes on savoury ricotta, P.D.O. gorgonzola, P.D.O. taleggio and other kinds of cheeses.

Meat and cold cut industry In the meat and cold cut industry, the use of ozone has been widely studied in ripening rooms for its effects against mites and to prevent the development of unwanted mould, in all production, cutting and packaging environments to reduce the risk of contamination by microorganisms, in particular Listeria. Gaseous ozone enables to sanitize both air and surfaces (particularly points that are difficult to reach such as cooling systems and the inside of machines and conveyor belts).

Sanitizing production environments and cleanrooms, especially those in which the products are cut and packaged, ensures a significant increase in the safety and shelf life of products.

Also in the meat industry ozone can be used to treat process water that may be contaminated by the biofilm present in pipes.

MACHINES FOR FRUIT - VEGETABLE INDUSTRY

Taleggio ripened in air and rooms not sanitized with ozone.

Fish industry The use of ozone in the treatment of process and washing water and the sanitization of production environments ensures control against cross contamination and the increase in bacterial load that normally takes place during the working day. It also prevents the formation of biofilm in pipes and helps to oxidize it if it is already present.

Ozone water is widely used in mollusc farming and the preservation of crustaceans, in fattening or prefattening tanks, in recirculating water on fry farms and process water in general, with considerable advantages in terms of the size and growth of the fish. Other uses are the production of ozone ice and use of the gaseous phase for treating air in the production environments.

Fresh pasta industry In the pasta, sweet and savoury pastry industry, following their removal from

the ovens or pasteurizers, products are exposed to a high risk of contamination from the air, conveyor belts or other machinery; the cooling tunnels and packaging rooms in particular may become critical points of the process with a negative effect on the product’s shelf life and process water contributing to an increase in the microbial load of the products of up to 4 logarithms (1000 times) in a few metres.

Ozone is effective in clearing these environments from bacteria, viruses, fungi and moulds without raising the humidity level and thus the water present on surfaces and in the air.

Water purifiers and wastewater The ozone systems in the NEXT technologies series can also be used in the treatment of wastewater to reduce the COD and BOD levels, remove a wide range of microorganisms and reduce the quantity of sludge produced, thus cutting disposal costs.

De Nora Next ozone systems With its De Nora Next series, De Nora provides a wide range of ozone systems capable of functioning at different concentrations and generating ozone gas or ozone water according to the specific application. The technologically advanced NEXT ozone series are equipped with ozone sensors to guarantee the safety of the workers and the right dosage of the correct volume of gas. The PLC enables the system to be managed simply through its user-friendly interface.

De Nora is a multinational company, leader in the design of products and technologies for sustainable growth: energy saving and water treatment. It is the largest group in the world that supplies electrodes for electrochemical process and is one of the recognized protagonists in the technology and processes for the treatment and disinfection of water.

The De Nora products represent key elements with a high added value in transformation processes for a large number of industrial applications: chemistry, water treatment, electronics, energy storage and the protection of infrastructure from corrosion.

De Nora operates in 11 different countries with 23 sites, 13 production plants, serving customers in 119 countries. Its research and development centres are in Italy, USA and Japan. At present, the company holds 344 families of patents with over 2000 regional extensions. www.denora.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.

Automatic Vegetables Spiralizer Mod. Streamer for Turatti Group Nominated to the Fruit Logistica Innovation Award 2017

T

uratti Group announced today that the Mod. Streamer has been nominated for the prestigious Fruit Logistica Innovation Award 2017, the most important one of its kind in the international fresh fruit and vegetable sector.

The FRUIT LOGISTICA Innovation Award (FLIA) is presented each year during the tradeshow in Berlin for outstanding innovations in the fresh produce sector.

The new patent-pending automated spiralizer from Turatti Group allows to obtain a wide range of spiralized products, with different shapes and sizes. This groundbreaking solution allows to convert vegetables like Carrots, Zucchinis, Sweet Potatoes…into spiral-shaped, pasta-type noodles. A wide range of vegetarian “spaghetti”, “tagliatelle” and “Gnocchi” can be obtained, recovering otherwise unutilized parts from firm fruits and veg-

etables (stalks, irregular products…).

Combining high capacity with amazing quality and versatility, the model allows a seamless operation to allow a high volume production with only one operator, a process unachievable with the small commercial kitchen tools.

“Innovation is in our DNA and we are pleased to provide another cutting edge solution to vegetable processors, allowing them to offer new and healthy products”, said Alessandro Turatti President of Turatti North America. “It is an incredible achievement to be selected among the best from the large number of proposed

nominations received from Fruit Logistica this year.”

The quality of the final product offered by the Streamer machine cannot be replicated with other systems, because of its innovative patented cutting head and the high precision centering tool.

The horizontal feeding system permits to obtain perfect and homogeneous noodles and spiralized vegetables, in an almost infinite combination of cuts, shape and lengths.

Due to its configuration, the unit can be supplied in a wide variety of models ranging from compact to high-capacity industrial solutions.

high-tech solutions FOR the olive oil extraction

T

he passion for innovation has always been the driving force behind the Pieralisi Group. This is just as true today as at the outset when Adeodato Pieralisi set up his first workshop in the small town of Monsano in 1888, the start of this family-run manufacturing business. From the postwar period onwards, the Group’s main plant in Jesi has specialized in olive oil machinery and what was once a family-run manufacturing business became an industrial enterprise with a solid organization.

In the 1960’s, Pieralisi revolutionized traditional olive oil extraction systems, conquering domestic and international markets with the first decanter for olive-oil continuous processing. Starting in the 1970’s, Pieralisi moved into new sectors of the market. The Group’s large experience and know-how in the olive oil sector led Pieralisi to offer centrifugal force as a rational solution to production processes in a wide range of food-processing and industrial sectors. The Group’s success was so rapid that, in just a few years, it established itself as the world’s leader company in centrifugation.

The key to Pieralisi’s success in the olive oil sector is the continual testing of innovative high-tech solutions aimed at increasing customers’ olive oil yield and quality. This commitment dates back to Pieralisi’s introduction of the first continuousprocessing decanter that revolutionized the olive oil extraction process. Still today the Group provides the olive oil extraction industry with modern plants that are automatically able to handle all processing stages and to keep track of all data for complete traceability of the product.

In 2012 Pieralisi revolutions once again olive oil sector by introducing LEOPARD, the only centrifugal extractor with DMF technology (Multiphase Decanter) which represents the solution of the third era for olive oil extraction, turning a by-product to be disposed of into added value for the miller. The last innovation created by the Pieralisi Group is the Protoreactor®, a unique system for the worldwide olive oil market that revolutionizes the traditional kneading process granting important advantages in the batch and industrial processing. It increases the quantity and the quality of the product with an energy saving due to the reduction of kneading time and heat loss.

The result is a significant increase in polyphenol and better organoleptic properties of the produced oil. www.pieralisi.com

NO MINERAL OIL IN FOOD

Efficient, sustainable protective barrier for packaging

No more mineral oil mixtures transferred into food from packaging: Sappi’s new papers with integrated mineral oil barrier bring new safety and capability to recycled packaging solutions for the food industry in a sustainable and efficient way. The two key benefits: Minimum 15-month mineral oil barrier protection and very good heat sealing capabilities so that food packaging does not require any additional coating seal.

A contribution by René Köhler, Group Manager for Flexible Packaging at Sappi Fine Paper Europe

P

ackaging protects the product it contains from dirt, contamination and destruction. However, there can be significant consequences when the packaging itself becomes a concern: The existence of poisonous mineral oil mixtures has been detected in various foods since the 1990s. Recycled packaging carton board was identified as the source of these mineral oil mixtures in food. Printing inks from recycled newspapers that contain solvents are the primary culprits due to the fact that poisonous hydrocarbons cannot be fully removed in the re-

cycling process. A residual amount, normally around ten percent, remains in the recycled material after processing.

The ink on the printed packaging can also contain mineral oil mixtures and can migrate into the food as well. Dry foods and foods containing fat are affected: Rice, noodles, chocolate products, muesli, potato dumplings and baby food.

The mineral oils predominantly migrate into food – even at room temperature – as volatile gases.

Most inner pouches currently used fail to offer adequate migration

protection. Safe solutions, such as those using complex laminates with aluminium and PET, are both expensive and not environmentally friendly.

The transfer of mineral oil into food is the result of two key properties of the food itself: First, the particular surface of the food onto which the mineral oil is absorbed; and secondly, the percentage of fat in the food into which mineral oils can easily be dissolved and absorbed.

These residues consist of a complex mixture of saturated (MOSH) and unsaturated hydrocarbons

(MOAH) suspected of being carcinogenic. Humans ingest the poisonous substances by consuming the food with high-risk consequences: In 2009 the Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung (BfR; Federal Institute for Risk Assessment) determined that mineral oils can become concentrated in the human body with ingestion over time. Animal testing has shown that they are highly poisonous and can cause liver inflammation, heart damage and other diseases, including cancer. The conclusion of the BfR was that it is urgent that the transfer of mineral oils into food should be minimised.

Solutions expensive and a long way off Industry and researchers have long been looking for solutions to eliminate these unwanted risks. The entire printing sector is discussing how

THREE QUESTIONS TO KERSTIN DIETZE, MARKETING MANAGER FOR SAPPI SPECIALITY PAPERS, SAPPI FINE PAPER EUROPE What has the market’s response been to the idea of packaging papers with an integrated mineral oil barrier?

The interest in an efficient and sustainable mineral oil barrier solution is very high and is growing. The increasing interest is certainly also driven by the imminent introduction of legal requirements. Many product manufacturers are now focused on this issue and are looking for rapid solutions. For this reason, the response to our official product launch during Interpack 2014 was extremely positive. There were many enquiries from product manufacturers and processors about our innovative and recyclable barrier papers, with our efficient and easy-to-implement solution enjoying a great deal of interest.

Are there any specific projects yet, and how is the ongoing development of the mineral oil barrier papers progressing?

Currently there are multiple customer tests running on different packaging types for tea, cereals, chocolate and various dry foods. We are very optimistic that we will be able to present the first successfully implemented projects very soon. The development work will not come to an end following the successful market launch of the mineral oil barrier papers, however. The next stage is to expand the number of weights on offer for these barrier papers.

What further developments is Sappi currently working on?

Sappi is increasingly investing in the development of special papers. Thanks to expansion of the specialist centre for special papers in Alfeld, we will be able to present many additional innovations in the future. The Algro Nature and Leine Nature papers that can be composted at home, as well as the mineral oil barrier papers Algro Guard M and Leine Guard M are the first innovative results of these investments. In addition to this, our company is also running various development projects in the area of sustainable packaging solutions. A key focus is the integration of different functionalities into our papers. We will be announcing additional products and solutions very soon.

to migrate to inks free of mineral oil for the long term. Carton manufacturers are working on improved cleaning processes for recycled papers; and paper processors are voluntarily avoiding the use of inks containing mineral oil for packaging printing. However, none of these solutions can have the desired impact in the short term however, and even when they are achieved, the associated costs are very high. Functional barriers, either in the form of coated, painted or laminated folding cartons or impermeable inner pouches, is a potential solution that is currently available. The use and benefit of packaging materials with mineral oil barriers (abbreviated as MOB (Mineral Oil Barrier)) are currently an important topic of discussion in the packaging sector. Although some of these measures are currently being implemented by product manufacturers, there is a need to do more, and soon: Legal requirements for this are anticipated in Germany, in particular, where a legal bill is still being discussed. However, a recommendation for the use of barriers for inner pouches in food packaging has existed in Austria since 2012.

Sappi presents its solution To enable the continued use of recycled paper in packaging materi-

WEIGHING

als, Sappi has developed a solution in partnership with BASF and Eurofins that brings innovative MOB papers into the market. The Sappi paper has a barrier coating which is applied during the production process in the form of a special dispersion agent. These new paper types for flexible packaging prevent the penetration of potentially harmful substances into food while allowing the ongoing, sustainable use of recycled cellulose in packaging materials, including outer packaging and transport packaging, ensuring improved food safety.

Sappi introduced MOB papers as a technology demonstration at Fachpack last year . Shortly afterwards, these papers were awarded the “PPI Award 2013 for Advances and Innovation.” At this year’s Interpack, MOB papers were introduced onto the market under the brand names Algro Guard M for outer packaging that require high print quality, and Leine Guard M for inner pouches and bags. These save, sustainable and cost-effective solutions have been generally available since Spring 2014.

Homogeneous, sealed surface One of the technical challenges in developing the MOB papers lay in achieving a homogeneous coating

to fully cover the pre-coated paper substrate. Even small defects in the coating can have a direct effect on the quality of the barrier function.

This means it is important to have an exceptionally smooth, non-porous raw paper with a full-coverage primer offering. Another challenge was finding a production window on the coater to permit a barrier coating to be applied to product without the rollers becoming blocked.

Together Sappi and BASF succeeded in developing coating solutions to address these challenges. It required the creation of a water-based polymer dispersion that could guarantee the necessary barrier while providing a stable and fault-free film using the predefined parameters without blockages. For this purpose, the film formation had to be aligned with the blocking response to achieve the optimal formulation.

Test confirms effectiveness To test the effectiveness of the barrier coating in preventing the penetration of poisonous mineral oils into food and other sensitive products, BASF turned to Eurofins Consumer Product Testing GmbH, an international bioanalytics service provider. This lab focuses on test-

ing and analysing foods, pharmaceutical products and environmental samples as well as consumer goods. Eurofins conducted a threemonth test cycle on behalf of BASF. These and other tests have definitively shown that papers with MOB barriers developed jointly by BASF and Sappi prevent mineral oil residues in recycled cardboard and recycled carton from migrating into food during the standard shelf life of the foods in question: The two new Sappi papers, Algro Guard M and Leine Guard M, have the necessary MOB functionality for a protective period of at least 15 months - in other words, far longer than the normal maximum shelf life of the products - as well as very good sealing capabilities. It is precisely the integrated MOB functionality and the excellent sealing capability of the papers that ensure that no additional processing steps or extra coatings are needed to meet these requirements. This

WEIGHING

results in shorter value chains and more efficient overall production times.

Before these tests were conducted, the supervisory bodies in the food industry were of the opinion that the migration of mineral oils could only be safely prevented via functional barriers such as inner pouches. According to information from Eurofins, the material from BASF was the first directly applied coating able to demonstrate appropriate barrier properties.

Thanks to the surface properties of the new MOB papers, they are also very well suited for downstream processing to enhance the packaging according to brand owner requirements. These types of enhancements are not always required, however. For example, tests have shown that the MOB papers also offer excellent aroma protection. This is demonstrated, for example, by protection against

the loss of camphors (peppermint) and limonene in foods packaged using these papers. At the same time, the barrier paper also protects against environmental odours that could impair flavour penetrating the packaged food from the outside.

Conclusion: on the right path Both of these new Sappi paper types feature two key properties: Guaranteed mineral oil barrier protection for 15 months and excellent heat sealing capabilities. The market interest in this packaging solution is immense.

This confirms for Sappi that its approach in developing a packaging solution with mineral oil barrier was the correct one: The many benefits of paper and carton as packaging materials - renewable, environmentally friendly, recyclable, compostable and biodegradable - now include providing a mineral oil barrier for improved food safety.

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.

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-

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

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

ULTRATHIN 9-LAYER LIDDING FILM To reduce packaging weight, boost shelf life of MAP food Image: DuPont 20XMS is a newly developed, ultrathin nine-layers high barrier lidding film from Comar, allowing for lighter packaging without compromising properties. DuPont Bynel® adhesive resins provide perfect coupling between the incompatible layers of the new structure, whilst a DuPont™ Appeel® sealing layer is key to reliable adhesion of the film to a variety of common tray polymers.

0XMS is a new nine-layer high barrier lidding film with a thickness of only 25 μm, which the North Italian packaging specialist Comar has developed for MA-packaging of food, including fresh and processed meat, fish or cheese. Use of a DuPont™ Appeel® sealing resin assists reliable, consistent adhesion to common PP, PE, PS or PET trays. Because the new coextrusion blown film has low thickness and is ready for use without any lamination steps, it contributes significantly to reducing the packaging’s environmental footprint.

And with its high strength, toughness and barrier properties, it helps to prevent food wastage due to premature deterioration. What’s more, its high gloss and transparency as well as its anti-fog property boost shelf appeal.

Compared to traditional five layer PEEVOH-PE lidding films with a thickness of 70 μm, the new 20XMS film has similar to improved mechanical properties, the same UV and moisture barrier and an even higher oxygen barrier. Using PET-G for the outer layer significantly enhances the new film’s high gloss, transparency and

puncture resistance. And when required, this polymer layer also permits energy and cost saving lamination of the structure to PET, OPP or OPA without any need for corona pretreatment. Specifically formulated DuPont™ Bynel® 22E780 and Bynel® 41E710 tie layers provide high quality coupling between the PET-G outer layer and the PE inner layer as well as between PE and the PA/EVOH barrier layers of the structure.

To provide consistent sealing quality on common tray polymers, Comar has specified a versatile DuPont™ Appeel® 20D784 sealant resin, which additionally permits control of seal characteristics (lock seal or easy-peel) depending on the selected converting parameters including sealing temperature, time and pressure.

As Dr. Ivan Lonardelli - R&D Manager at Comar explains:

“DuPont has provided substantial support in selecting the most suitable tie and sealant polymers as well as in identifying optimum converting parameters. It was this close cooperation that allowed us to downgauge the film thickness by about 65 % compared to the traditional 5 layer structure and at the same time to meet stringent requirements in terms of processing and application characteristics. We also highly value the wide variety of tie and sealing resins offered by DuPont, which enable us to flexibly adapt our new nine-layer structure to the specific requirements of our customers’ wide range of applications.” www.dupont.com

In recent months, an installation was carried out of PackettoTM at a well known customer: Coca-Cola HBC Italia in Oricola, which is part of the Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company.

The improvement is possible thanks to the application of tiny dots of glue on the bottles, on to which to the film is applied.

During the shrinking process, the film remains in position, so the pack is perfectly formed.

Also thanks to the method of fixing the film, the amount of film used is reduced by up to 30% With Packetto™ solutions, customers have access to new tools that can upgrade the image of their brands, save money and raw materials, whilst respecting the environment.

The PackettoTM SMART system has been installed on an existing Vega shrink- wrapping machine.

With this revolutionary innovation in secondary packaging, the standard aesthetics of the bundles has been increased and uniform results obtained for all bundles produced.

The fierce competition in the packaging industry led OCME to create this new packaging concept that maintains the same characteristics of a traditional shrinkwrapped

the OCME innovation in secondary packaging: “In the packaging sector, much has been done to reach out to the real needs of the consumer, but much remains to be done because all too often production and marketing needs prevail and these don’t always correspond to the expectations of the final consumer.

The packaging should constantly change so that it correctly interprets the demands of consumers.

For years, the manufacturers of secondary packaging machines have been looking for an alternative to traditional packaging, without finding it. www.ocme.com

Paper-based packaging - the environment-friendly choice Performance driven. Every day. Mondi Containerboard presents its latest paper improvements for fruit and vegetable packaging

A

t today’s press breakfast at Fruit Logistica, Mondi Containerboard gave an insight into its latest product improvements and showcased highly functional containerboard paper grades that are suitable for fruit and vegetable packaging. “We know that packaging can make a crucial difference, particularly in the fruit and vegetable sector because the produce is often exposed to demanding conditions, such as extreme temperature fluctuations and moisture,” says Florian Stockert, Sales Director Containerboard at Mondi Europe & International. Drawing attention to the variety of properties and requirements of paper-based packaging, he continues, “Long-distance shipping is commonplace in this business and, as a paper producer, we must satisfy the demand for resilient, lightweight, but at the same time sturdy and environmentfriendly packaging solutions.”

Pro-environmental packaging shields fresh produce from challenging conditions Alongside the eco-friendly ProVantage Kraftliner Aqua, which offers water resistance for up to three days, the exhibition highlights this year include the improved quality of ProVantage Fluting Aqua - achieved by rebuilding paper machine PM4 at the Mondi Świecie mill in

Poland. The modifications are delivering a variety of benefits to corrugated box producers, fruit and vegetable growers, retailers and end-users. Among other benefits, lightweight packaging offers box producers considerable raw material and transportation cost savings. In addition, the improved moisture profile enables the box to withstand long-distance shipping and thus ensures that fresh produce reaches the supermarket in good condition. The ultimate beneficiary is the consumer, whose high quality requirements are satisfied. As well as refining its Aqua range, Mondi has been driving improvements in its Appearance portfolio. With the modernised paper machine PM21 at its Syktyvkar mill in Russia, the company has enhanced the quality of the ProVantage Komiwhite grade. It is a first-class paper for strong, shelf-ready packaging solutions that seek to catch the eye with a bright and attractive appearance, and paves the way for enhanced branding. aqua protec© - the quality and sustainability brand In solutions using the ProVantage Kraftliner Aqua and/or ProVantage Fluting Aqua paper grades, Mondi offers its aqua protec© brand for high-quality, distinctive, eco-friendly and sustainable boxes that resist the most challenging conditions. “Besides being able to use the

aqua protec© logo to stand out from the competition, customers will be in a position to create boxes that are lighter than standard corrugated board, and with a 35% lower water absorption rate,” comments Stockert.

Consumers prefer corrugated boxes for fruit and vegetables At the press breakfast the sales director also referred to a report published by the German Corrugated Board Industry Association (VDW) in June 2015. It summarises the findings of two representative surveys, both highlighting that consumers prefer corrugated boxes for fruit and vegetable packaging. “One survey showed that half of consumers consider fruit that is packed in corrugated board to be of a higher quality than fruit contained in plastic crates. An interesting discovery by TNS Emnid, one of the institutes that conducted the research, was that two-thirds of consumers regard corrugated boxes as more hygienic than their multi-use plastic counterparts,” remarks Stockert.

Ingredients for meat & savoury applications

A white paper by Lycored

Clearly natural solutions for perfect flavour and texture

B

eyond clean label Clean label has been a major trend in the food industry for the past decade, with food and beverage manufacturers keen to highlight that their products are free from synthetic ingredients and additives.But today’s consumers are looking for more.

They want to know what is in their food, not just what isn’t. They want their food to be made of recognisable natural ingredients and they want to know where those ingredients came from. This desire for more transparency is leading to a massive upsurge in clearer labelling.

So, while Innova Market Insights found in 2014 that a quarter of all food and beverage launches featured clean label claims, it also identifi ed greater transparency – a shift from ‘clean to clear’ - as the top labelling trend for 2015.

In tune with this trend, Lycored offers Real Food Ingredients made from 100% tomato, enabling formulators to label products with reassuringly simple food declarations that all consumers will recognise. What’s more, its verticallyintegrated business model guarantees farm-to-fork transparency and traceability. Lycored uses its own specially bred non-GMO tomatoes, carefully grown on farms in California and Israel.

Once the tomatoes are harvested, a proprietary extraction process is used to remove the delicate pigments, fi bres and serum from their pulp as effi ciently as possible.

Honest goodness The unique non-GMO tomatoes bred by Lycored are naturally four times higher in lycopene than standard tomatoes.

They are also rich in naturally occur-

ring taste compounds, including glutamate, which is an amino acid. Lycored’s Real Food Ingredients range builds on the goodness of these tomatoes to enhance the taste, colour and texture of food, while also providing an inherent nutritional advantage. There are four product types available from Lycored, as follows: • SANTE - this taste enhancer provides a high concentration of the naturalcompounds that produce umami (the fi fth taste) and kokumi (the Japanese word for deliciousness). SANTE accentuates existing fl avour characteristics while remaining taste neutral.

• Clear Tomato Concentrate (CTC) a concentrated serum with a savoury character that offers balanced sweetness from 60 brix combined with higher acidty than SANTE, which creates a smooth balancing taste effect.

In tomato-based products, it also increases tomato taste intensity.

• Lyco-Fibers - these modify the pulpiness, viscosity and mouthfeel of sauces, soups and meat products. The unique, authentic texture they provide cannot be achieved reliably using other texturisers. They lend products a

pleasant pulpy fi bre mouthfeel, without the slimy consistency of formulations that rely on alternative stabilisers such as gums and starches.

• Dry Tomato Pulp - this combines a fresh, vibrant and consistent red colour with a stable texture for red sauces, ketchups and soups. Its fi bre content can add to the health credentials of a naturally-positioned product. It also works well as a natural colourant and texture improver in meat-based products such as sausages, in which many food colourants or starches are not permitted.

SANTE - natural deliciousness Available as a liquid or powder, SANTE provides naturally occurring umami and kokumi tastes with a low sodium content.

Umami, meaning ‘delicious taste’, is also known as the fi fth taste – after bitter, sweet, salty and sour – and its savoury, meaty character is detected via the taste receptors for glutamate. Kokumi, meaning ‘rich taste’, provides balance and a hearty mouthfeel. Kokumi is delivered by foods with the right combination of amino acids. Importantly, SANTE manages to combine both of these attributes with a clean and clear label. Manufacturers may declare SANTE as ‘tomato concentrate’ or ‘natural fl avour’, according to local regulations. SANTE is taste-neutral, with no overt tomato taste, so it can be used to boost the fl avour of both sweet and savoury products. It is ideal for use in soups, sauces and marinades and in its powdered form it can also be applied as part of a seasoning mix for products such as potato chips and extruded snacks, and in spice blends for meat products. Low dosages of between 0.15 and 0.7% are suffi cient to deliver a highly accentuated taste experience, and SANTE is stable across a wide range of temperatures and pH. As well as providing all these positive attributes, SANTE enables formulators to reduce or eliminate a range of ingredients with negative labelling connotations, such as MSG, ribonucleotides, yeast extracts and hydrolysed vegetable proteins. In addition, thanks to its ability to enhance the salty fl avour of products, SANTE allows a reduction in sodium from salt by 30 to 50% in some applications. The secret of SANTE lies in the high levels of naturally occurring glutamate in Lycored’s specially bred tomatoes. Glutamate occurs naturally at high levels in many delicious foods, such as ham and Emmental cheese, Nori

in short

seaweed and scallops. Lycored’s special breed of tomato is also a rich source of natural glutamate. It has an amino acid concentration of almost 9%, of which 32% is natural glutamate.

Clear Tomato Concentrate - smooth fl avour CTC is a clear liquid that acts as a natural taste improver for food, bringing a smoother character to savoury products such as soups, condiments and sauces. It can also intensify the tomato character of tomato-based foods and act as an extender for tomato paste, which can be expensive.

CTC can be declared as consumer-friendly ‘tomato concentrate’ and, like SANTE, it gives formulators a way to reduce or eliminate their use of less attractive ingredients. It is stable across a range of pH and temperatures. It is colour-neutral and besides delivering a better taste and cleaner label, it can also produce a browning effect for a more appetising appearance in foods such as pies and pastries.

Lyco-Fibers - authentic texture Formulators can modify the pulpiness, viscosity and mouthfeel of sauces, soups and meat products naturally using Lyco-Fibers.

Not only do they deliver a cleaner label, but they also carry the positive benefi t of fi bre content. Their high stability means that Lyco-Fibers do not undergo syneresis when used in sauces. In addition, while alternative stabilisers such as gums and starches can lead to a slimy consistency, Lyco-Fibers deliver an authentic vegetable fi bre texture. Lyco-Fibers also improve the juiciness of meat products and prevent burning of the meat when barbecuing.

Dry Tomato Pulp - visual appeal with fibre Lycored’s Dry Tomato Pulp is perfect for formulators looking to produce tomatobased sauces, soups and dips with a fresh and vibrant ‘made from scratch’ look, taste and texture that remains stable throughout a product’s shelf-life. It also suits meat products such as sausages.

The pulp delivers a fresh, consistent, natural red colour thanks to its high lycopene content, combined with an authentic pulpy

texture. It also contains fi bre and can carry a consumerfriendly ‘crushed tomatoes’ or ‘tomato concentrate’ label within the EU. Conventional tomato pastes can be inconsistent, which may lead to formulation challenges. In contrast, Lycored’s Dry Tomato Pulp provides reliable, consistent, repeatable results. It also permits the removal of starches from sauces, leading to a shorter ingredients list.

Benefi ts of Lycored’s Real Food Ingredients at a glance: • Foodstuff label declaration • Cleaner label and a shorter ingredient list in many applications • Stable across a range of pH and temperatures • Allergen-free • Kosher and Halal • Fibre content • No added glutamates • Non-GMO • Vegan Inherent goodness – naturally Lycored is an international company committed to ‘Cultivating Wellness’ by harnessing the nutritional potential of nature using cutting edge science. The result is a growing portfolio of natural ingredients and products that formulators and – just as importantly - consumers can recognise and trust. Lycored’s fi rst ‘hero ingredient’ was lycopene, which has been clinically proven to help support general health and, more specifi cally, heart, skin, prostate and female reproductive health, among others. As global leaders in natural carotenoids for food, beverage and dietary supplement products, Lycored’s experts are constantly developing new fortifi cation blends using lycopene to support relevant health claims. Beyond this, simply including Lycored’s natural tomato ingredients allows customers to provide an ‘inherent goodness’ or betterfor-you positioning for their products.

Long shelf-life Croissant production

C

roissants continue to gain popularity worldwide. Every region of the world has its own croissant products and therefore unique characteristics. In some parts of the World, the Middle East and Asian region in particular, demand long shelf life products. This is the reason why the long shelf life croissants were developed. Croissant production lines were among the very first Rademaker bakery production lines produced and we are proud to be the global leader in Croissant production lines. With our three decades of experience, Rademaker is able to produce long shelf life croissant types that meet our client’s demands.

When it comes down to long shelf life croissant production lines, the first important question that arises is how long the desired shelf life should be.

Shelf life can range from 7 days to 6 months. This shelf life will determine the recipe but also the procedure of dough development. The way the croissant is cooled and packed too, is of great influence to the shelf life of the product.

According to the Rademaker long shelf life technology, four drives determine the quality and the shelf life of the croissant.

1. Recipe The recipe for long shelf life croissants is unique. Long lasting softness is created by making use of mother dough and rich recipe with margarine, sugar, eggs, glucose syrup and a special blend of enzymes.

The enzymes blend can be used in combination with a bread improver to contribute tolerance and volume.

The combination of these ingredients, in its specific mixture, will reduce the amount of free water inside of the dough (aW).

In hot, humid countries, or in case of a desired long shelf life, calciumpropionate (cp) as preservative is used to a maximum of 0,3% flour weight. The odor of cp is normally regarded as unpleasant, while as natural preservatives (developed during fermentation and by using mother dough) it is regarded as pleasant but less effective.

Another crucial aspect for the keepability of these products is the filling.

Important is to use fillings that are in balance with the baked croissant crumb; if the filling is too hygroscopic it will attract all water from the crumb. If the filling will release water, the result will be soaked, patchy crumb with dried filling.

Last aspect, the choice for margarine (or shortening, fat, etc.) or butter is important as well. Butter is much more vulnerable for rancidity than vegetable fats.

2. Process/Procedure Long shelf life croissants are produced with very long fermentation times. This differs from the process for ‘normal’ croissants. The long fermentation times arise because mother dough is used (also called levains, brews, preferments, sauerteig, etc.) in combination with the usage of a very low free water amount and the very high amount of fat and sugar is used in the dough. A maximum of flavor development and sometimes usages of preservatives, like calcium propionate, also contribute to this long fermentation times.

However, the mother doughs procedure contribute to this the most.

The mother dough procedure starts with a small amount of culture or

68 RADEMAKER - FP 6-16.indd 3

16/01/17 17:28

news in short

strain. This culture is created spontaneous by air fermentation or by purchased strain. Accordingly, this strain is up scaled by flour, water and temperature. This scaling can be done in several fermentation steps. Whether the choice is made for one, two or three fermentation steps is depending on recipe costs, desired quality, pH, production equipment and dough handling.

Important is the development of the strain called ‘Saccharomyces Exiguous’. This strain will decrease the acidity of the dough and creates a natural preservative.

To upscale the strain and to keep the characteristics of the strain vivid, there are two basic ways: 1. One-time purchase.

A certain amount of strain/culture can be used as a starter for the next day. Whether the mother dough’s strain/culture remains stable and daily performs the same, depends on the bakery conditions.

2. Repeatedly purchase.

Every day a fresh batch is started up for croissants production. This method may be a bit more expensive but the predictability of the production process, especially the final proofing time, is much more reliable.

3. pH Mother dough is necessary to, besides taste and crumb softness development, lower

in short

the pH of the dough. By doing so, natural preservatives (various types of lactic acid, citric acid, etc.) are created.

During the fermentation of the mother dough, the pH will decrease to levels of < 4. After mixing and final proofing, the pH can reach 4,5 to 5.

3. Dough equipment Dough shaping Rademaker offers Croissant production lines to produce long shelf life croissants. Capacities starting at 800 kg up to over 2,000 kg per hour leading to a product quantity of 12,000 pieces an hour up to 70,000 pieces per hour. Capacities depend on the size and weight of the croissants.

The Rademaker Sigma Laminator will provide the correct laminated dough sheet. This dough sheet is fed towards the Rademaker Croissant production line. Because of the Low Stress Sheeter it is possible to handle doughs that require the long fermentation times that are required for long shelf life croissants.

4. Proofing, Baking, Packaging Handling The final proofing time of the croissants is very long. This is due to the usage of mother dough, the rich recipe, the usage of preservative and the very limited amount of water.

Depending on the recipe, we have seen final proofing times from 180 minutes to bakeries with over 300 minutes.

To avoid drying of the product and to keep the maximum of moisture inside of the product, the product should be baked with limited con-

vection and maximum radiation and conduction. Baking time depends heavily on the size of the product.

For example for a 65-gram product, the baking time is approximately 11 minutes.

A very important aspect that also determines the shelf life and product quality is the final step in the production process: packaging. Assuming that the croissant is packed in flowpack (horizontal) or trans wrap (vertical) packaging, there is the possibility to increase shelf life by making use of gas flushing: a mixture of Nitrogen 40% - 0% and Carbon dioxide 60% - 100%. For this procedure, it is necessary to use special equipment and special foil.

Summary of long shelf life croissant preservation Basically there are three ways of preserving the product: 1.. In the dough. By lowering pH by long fermentation/ mother dough technology or by adding calcium propionate. In addition, the filling can contain preservatives that has effect on croissant crumb.

2. Special crust treatment.

3. Around the croissant by gas flush during the wrapping process.

The long shelf life technology expertise is carefully applied in Rademaker’s Croissant lines and production solutions. As the global leader in Croissant production lines Rademaker can assure that the Croissant Production line will deliver the taste, texture, shape, and capacity that you and your customers expect. www.rademaker.com

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 companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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

74 TECNOPOOL - FP 3-16.indd 3

03/10/16 15:11

news in short

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?

CREATING NEW STANDARDS IN ROTOGRAVURE CYLINDER MANUFACTURING

n 1956 Evangelos Ioannou started his working life in the rotogravure cylinder engraving industry. In 1970 he founded in Athens a small unit for the chemical etching of rotogravure cylinders. Working alone following the latest technological developments and constantly expanding his knowledge leads to continuous improvements in the quality and consistency of the company’s products. In 1990, this continuous improvement leads to growth and expansion and the company relocates to the Industrial area of Inofyta. The company is now second generation and under the direct management of the son of the founder, Mr. Yiannis Ioannou who applying the philosophy of continuous improvement and investment brings to Greece the first electronic engraving installation. Today, ICR-IOANNOU is the largest manufacturer of rotogravure cylinders in Greece and one of the largest suppliers in Europe, North and South America, the Middle East and North Africa. The company produces rotogravure cylinders for all sectors of the print market including, food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, FMCG, tobacco and the decorative sector. Carrying on the philosophy of the company founder ICR-IOANNOU constantly strives to answer questions ask by our customer by the constant use of R&D. This R&D has led to the development of the unique patented IMS Aluminum cylinder system.

By utilizing aluminum and thermal spray technologies ICR-IOANNOU can offer the printer the following benefits: 1: Due to the speed that Aluminum cylinders can be produced the leadtimes to press can be greatly reduced. This gives the printer using Aluminum cylinders a competitive ad-

vantage over the competition; he can reduce the lead times to the end user from conception of design to print.

2: Due to the reduced logistics cost of the Lightweight Aluminum cylinders it is now possible for the printer to move cylinders to different print locations to meet demand rather than move printed product.

3: The reduced weight and better balance characteristics allow the printers to run the press at higher speeds, while maintaining the highest print quality. Because of the fact that the aluminum does not corrode the cylinder remains in this perfectly balanced state for its production life.

4: Due to the lightweight nature of the cylinders one press operator can manually place the cylinder in the press. This leads to greatly reduced lead times on the press and allows an increased number of cylinder changes during the printing shift. The cylinders comply with all European operator-lifting rules, reducing lost days of production due to handling injuries.

5: Due to the lightweight nature of the cylinders it can reduce the amount of wear on the print press bearing and moving parts, allowing increased periods of time between service interventions, reducing the maintenance cost on the machines while increasing productivity and efficiency of the press.

6: The lightweight nature of the cylinders allows greater flexibility in the warehousing of the cylinders. The warehouse footprint can be reduced due to the fact that we can stack the cylinders higher in a racking system.

7: Due to the environmentally friendly production methods, increased numbers of cylinders in shipments and more efficient printing we substantially reduce the carbon footprint of the cylinder and in-turn the printed product.

In the ICR-IOANNOU customer portfolio there are over 60,000 of these lightweight aluminum cylinders in the daily production workflow. In 2013 ICR-IOANNOU was awarded the much coveted European Rotogravure Association award for innovation. This year the company’s cylinder technology has been recognized by the Gravure Association of the Americas who awarded the company its Golden Cylinder award for innovation. In its efforts to spread this technology ICRIOANNOU also provides semi-finished aluminum rotogravure cylinders to cylinder engraving houses. By applying a policy of total quality to all aspect of cylinder production and customer service and by constant investment in the latest technologies, human potential and internal R&D ICR-IOANNOU has become the internationally recognized multi award winning company we see today. As show of confidence in the future ICR-IOANNOU will be moving into new production facilities in early 2016. This new facility will take full advantage of the latest developments in engineering machinery and thermal spray technology, allowing the company to increase it production capacity by over 50% to meet expanding worldwide customer demand.

The high capacity form press is the most technically efficient of its kind on the global market due to the intelligent design using mechanical advantage to gain the very high power needed for pressing frozen and tempered products with less than 50% of the power of similar machines.

Unique to the Form Press is the “inverted die” technology. The concept was to improve hygiene and reduce washdown times so today, the die section can be pressure washed up to 100 bar.

DanTech has made changing of dies a simpler process requiring just two tools and taking just a few minutes which allows for more production. A special feature of the DanTech Press is the “Low Pressure Pre-sensing”. When the raw product is placed in to the forming chamber the stainless steel hydraulic rams run at low pressure to sense the product and position it at the exit gate before applying the forming pressure. This unique benefit allows the user to have just the right pressure for the forming action to prevent damage to the muscle/fat structure. Universal power for the press between 380-600 VAC and 50/60 Hz. means that machines in build can be ready for most global markets. In addition to the lowest power, the MPr series requires no compressed air or cooling water. These benefits make the DanTech Form Press very simple to install, operate and maintain. With a capacity of up to 11 cycles per minute and options for autoloading the all stainless steel MPr- ID press makes for a sound long term investment.

EFSIS standards which is a legal and safety standard for manufacturers wishing to benchmark their businesses to the highest standards.

Working with industrial users and chemical supply companies, DanTech Sanitizers have been developed for spraying or misting of dilute disinfectants on to packed product, crates trays, packing

materials etc. for decontamination prior to moving from a low risk to high care area of production or for goods ready for dispatch. The system assures 360°disinfectant contact with the product. Adjustable air knives dispel the excess fluid once the product has passed through the application zone. The system is delivered as a ready to use package for connection to power and water. Two standard models are available for product up to 600 x 600 mm width and height, spaying or misting or bespoke models for large items such as pallets and boxes. www.dantechuk.com

SOLUTION PROVIDER FOR PROCESS INSTALLATIONS WORLDWIDE

Ventilex is a powerful brand for process industries throughout the world. Besides dryers and peripheral equipment we supply control and automation. In a nutshell, you can leave the entire drying process, including sterilising or pasteurisation to a single party: Ventilex.

A Pitco boiler for sterilising products.

W

e have three branches in the Netherlands and the United States and work with agents throughout the world, e.g. in Australia, Asia and various European countries. We aim to operate closely with our customers and to be your solution partner for drying solutions in primarily food, minerals and chemicals. Ventilex has grown into a process specialist; and with this change we add dehumidification technology to our repertoire. Ventilex is currently strengthening its service arm. We aim to provide the supply and management of spare parts, remote assistance and preventive

and corrective maintenance in the form of contracts. Our ultimate aim is the 24/7 continuity of the entire process of drying/cooling, sterilising, pasteurisation and filtering for our customers. Below is an overview of our process installations.

Steam sterilising: removing bacteria naturally Our Ventilex ‘Continuous Steam Sterilising’ system has been developed for the natural decontamination of herbs and spices based on steam.

It produces products that are safe for human consumption and retains their external characteristics such

as shape and colour, or properties like taste and aroma. Our processing method especially maintains the excellent quality of the end product for the consumer! The process is simple: after brief exposure to steam the product is dried and cooled. Although the idea is relatively simple, the working of a continuous system that can process both powders and whole spices is unique. The continuous system is closed and uses self-cleaning rotary valves for product input and output. The system is opera- ted by a central control panel which is validated for data logging.

The sophisticated design enables

Our process installations have a Clean-In-Place system and no sharp edges: without corners, crackers or places where the product can accumulate. With the high quality standards in the food and feed industries, Ventilex is an absolute must.

Fluid bed for sand, minerals and chemicals Ventilex fluid bed dryers are also extremely suitable for drying sand, minerals and chemicals. Drying sand to make mortar for the building industry is just one example of what they can

do. Ventilex supplies the dryers, including the intelligence, which is to say the PLCs, LCCs and MCCs. In cooperation with selected partners we can also provide that required for civil engineering.

Our dryers are de- signed for decadelong problem-free use and are highly energy-efficient. Energy conversation of up to 40% is possible. The technology we use, including our recircula- tion system whereby cooling air is reused for heating purposes, leads to continuous energy-saving, enabling customers to earn back their investments fast.

Belt dryers: for continuous performance Ventilex belt dryers and tunnel dryers help to create an industrial process environment with a controlled tempera-

ture and humidity. This results in as little as possible energy expenditure, optimal production time and continuous performance. Our belt dryers are also used, among others, in the pharmaceutical and food industries. With our sophisticated and hygienic stainless steel belt dryers, Ventilex helps industries produce an even better quality of product. Our belt dryers are designed for sustainability, reliability and produce a minimal and strict environmentallyfriendly amount of waste water. They continuously control the temperature and humidity in the production process and even provide the desired performance with a variable air supply.

Its unrivalled reputation comes after a 40- year experience in designing and manufacturing innovative machinery systems. Thanks to the know-how achieved with its packaging turn-key project management, with the most renowned companies in the foodstuff and medical field,

Coligroup is sure to meet all the most challenging packaging expectations for the retail and food industries as well.

THE COLIGROUP packaging machinery range includes: thermoforming machines, which are the Coligroupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core business, tray sealing machines, vacuum chamber machines and flowpack&vacuum combined systems. Any brand and technology for labeling, printing & product loading systems together with the most modern robotic feeding applications are the accessories, which make the packaging systems offer complete, efficient and unique! The lasagna&ready meals processing and packaging lines, together with several other medical & food turnkey projects managed by COLIGROUP SPA is a step forward to higher reputation, reliability & a new standard of quality!

Designed in every details, THERA series thermoforming machine represent the highest level of Italian technology, experience and reliability. The renowned models Thera 250, Thera 450 and Thera 650 are used to pack a wide range of foodstuffs products, to meet various customer layout needs - enabling customers to select the machine

size that best suits them. Additionally within each version there are a number of options available to provide pack size flexibility and different output levels.

The main machineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s features are: High production speed; Brushless motorization allows energy saving and controls the engine for the handling of the entire production; Extreme rationalization in film using, with a considerable scraps reduction: due to a different vacuum and MAP technology, THERA thermoforming machines have 10mm lateral scrap only on the bottom film!!; Top security of vacuum level and oxygen residual inside the packaging.

Upon request these levels can be controlled in every packaging trough a linear electronic analyzer; Automatic control of possible anomalies in machine automatization through a micro-controller, permitting the complete machinery blocking in case of an incorrect packaging process or a rational discharge of non-conforming packs.

Total sterilization of loading area is possible ,according to last European directives concerning foodstuff; A set of specific safety covers and warning alarms are installed on THERA 650, in order to assure the total control of dangerous process.

shrinking film) and can be equipped with any sort of automatic loader, dosing system or printing device.

The high quality features of COLIMATIC packaging machine allow the company to propose machines which are more reliable, versatile and functional than any other packaging machine. The accurate hygiene level (thanks to rounded shapes and sloping surfaces for water draining during machine washing), their easy functioning and cheap managing allowed COLIMATIC to become market-leader in the packaging industry.

The competence in extending the product shelf life, presented with a nice and modern pack, is one of the winning features of COLIMATIC thermoforming and traysealer machines. In this area, considering the close contact of the pack with the foodstuff, it is essential to ensure the highest quality and prevent any external contamination.

Recently Coligroup R&D dept has developed a brand new and revolutionary range of traysealing machines, the TDF series. Machines’ frames are completely realized in stainless steel with metal sheets obtained by laser

cutting and electrically welded holding components. The high packaging flexibility is guaranteed by the Brushless servomotor management which optimize the functioning cycle according to the product exigencies. It creates an interconnection between the various elements in motion by means of electronic cam and the energy recovery system generated by the machine motor during braking is used to drive other motors installed in the system (KERS - Kinetic Energy Recovery System).

The high level of hygiene is guaranteed by the realization of sloping surfaces and easy dismantling system of the inlet conveyor.

Worthy to be mentioned, among the numerous packaging solutions proposed by COLIGROUP is the innovative packaging system mod. OMEGA 800 1C 1200 composed by flowpack machine&vacuum chamber, suitable for long products such as salami, ham or processed meat: OMEGA series machines are conceived for the packaging of products

with long dimensions (up to 1.200 mm) and heavy weight. The machine folds the products in a tubular film and realizes the vacuum into the sealing chamber, only by using a unique film reel which is sealed on 3 different sides (2 transversal sealing and 1 longitudinal sealing in the middle).

The product loading can be done by an operator (which manually charges the products on the loading belt) or the machine can automatically receive the products coming from the production facilities. The photocell, positioned on the belt, automatically reads the length of the products and adjusts the belt movement for product introduction into the vacuum chamber. This solution does Not produce any film waste because the “packs” always fit perfectly to any product lengths!

Moreover Coligroup’s commitment to preserve our environment by reducing Co2 emissions, is highlighted by the machines features & peculiarities (standard spare parts). The R&D Department is always striving to develop more environmentally friendly packaging solutions, by using components that require less energy consumption and working on new packaging materials. Result of this continuous effort are the paper forming machines & our carton MAP packaging systems.

All Colimatic machines are designed and exclusively personalized according to customers exact requirements.

The extensive lists of our satisfied customers represent a great number of large and small organizations, which completely rely on COLIMATIC to fulfill their packaging needs! www.colimatic.it

T

he organisers of SIMEI, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading event for winemaking and bottling machinery and equipment organised by the Unione Italiana Vini since 1963, are already working on the 27th edition, which will take place from 11 to 15 September 2017 in Munich, Germany. The key words, as always, will be innovation and technology. Numerous innovations on the agenda, starting with the location. In 2017, the event will move from Italy, where it will return in 2019, to Germany, to forge a fruitful and mutual synergy with drinktec, the international trade fair for beverage and liquid food industry equipment.

This union, which enhances the complementarity of the two events, creates a unique platform that crosses both sectors, offering operators and visitors the best of technology all round. SIMEI will also be implementing the proposals of drinktec, creating a unique and specialised centre for the wine sector covering over 20 thousand square metres.

As is customary, it will gather the best operators for wine technol-

from the need to offer advantages to users from both worlds, SIMEI and drinktec, creating synergies of obvious interest. Our regular operators will have a new pole to explore different markets and other sectors of the beverage industry, thereby reaching new visitors and buyers.

The public and drinktec operators will therefore meet our operators that have always stood out in the field of wine technology. SIMEI will return to Italy in 2019 with the idea of repeating this partnership, strengthening its potential, always looking for the best solutions for companies”.

SIMEI has always been the only international point of reference dedicated to operators and companies in the wine sector. This role was confirmed in 2015 by the presence of top international players and several delegations of buyers visiting from the US, Australia, Chile, Spain, Brazil and Tunisia. The growing number of visitors to the last edition, held as usual in the Fiera Rho exhibition centre in Milan, Italy, provides further confirmation thereof.

Here, 31,000 professional trade visitors from 90 countries came together with over 600 high profile exhibiting companies.

This year again, technical experts, winemakers, consultants and professionals in the industry can meet and discover the latest industry news, the result of research and experimentation, the real foundations of an industry where “technology” is the key word.

Once again, this year’s SIMEI will be staging the Innovation Technology Award, the award given by the Unione Italiani Vini to companies that stand out in the development of exclusive patents.

As in previous editions, SIMEI@ drinktec will also be an opportunity for qualified professional develop-

88

ment. The training aspect is in fact an asset on which Italian Wine Union has always focused in organising the trade fair, with the aim of running various events alongside the main exhibition centred on detailed analysis, training and information for the concrete and constant development of the sector.

Of course, there will also a space dedicated to conviviality and instruction as to the responsible and moderate consumption of wine thanks to the Sensory Bar created by the Unione Italiana Vini. During the event, the Sensory Bar will introduce visitors to a fine selection of wines and Italian products through tastings and educational sessions of sensory analysis.

Taste education - through sensory analysis - will become a tool for stimulating and spreading knowledge and expertise that are the ba-

sis of a moderate attitude towards drinking, a philosophy that the Unione Italiana Vini has always promoted.

Once again, therefore, SIMEI@drinktec will be a high profile international event both in terms of technology and training, with a very diverse and complete range of products and events able to show operators, visitors and the world market the best that the industry has to offer. www.simei.it

Sie wollen nicht nur geschmacklich verführt werden, sondern stellen auch immer höhere Anforderungen an die Verpackung: Sie muss Extravaganz und zusätzliche Funktionen bieten, soll aber auch mit ökologischer Weitsicht produziert sein. Das zwingt die Hersteller von Süßem und Backwaren zu Kreativität und Effizienz. Die gute Nachricht: Die Verpackungsproduzenten und Maschinenbauer können mit materialsparenden Verpackungslösungen und effizienteren Produktions-

solutions and more efficient production lines. The confectionery industry goes to enormous lengths to sway consumers with its products. Packaging chocolate and similar delights in appetising wrappers and allowing the

linien helfen. Was tut die Süßwaren-Industrie nicht alles, um Konsumenten von ihren Produkten zu überzeugen?

Schokolade und Co. appetitlich zu verpacken und den Geschmack für das Produkt sprechen zu lassen, reicht mittlerweile nicht mehr aus. Um Konsumenten zu ködern, greifen Hersteller heute viel tiefer in Trickkiste: Zu den neuesten Trends zählen kurzweilige Videos und Spots rund um das Produkt, die sich Verbraucher während des Genusses anschauen können.

Einer der Vorreiter des sogenannten „Snackertainments“, bei dem reale und digitale Welt verschmelzen, ist Lebensmittelriese Nestlé. Er hat im

Rahmen einer Marketingkampagne mit dem Internet-Riesen Google die roten rechteckigen Verpackungen des Pausensnacks KitKat mit QR-Codes bedrucken lassen, die direkt zum eigenen YouTube Channel „YouTube my Break“ führen. Dort werden die User abwechslungsreich unterhalten – und so auf geschickte Weise an das Produkt gebunden.

Das Besondere an der Aktion: Das auffällige, markenstiftende Logo KitKat auf der Mitte der Verpackung wurde für die Sonderedition entfernt, damit YouTube den zentralen Platz einnehmen konnte. Außerdem erhielt Googles Betriebssystem Android

that consumers can watch in the process of consumption. One of the pioneers of “snackertainment”, in which the real and the digital worlds merge, is food giant Nestlé. In a marketing campaign with Internet leader Google, it has the red rectangular wrappers of “have-a-break” KitKat printed with QR codes that lead straight to the manufacturer’s own “YouTube my Break” channel. This is where users are entertained in a variety of ways – and thus cleverly hooked by the product. What makes the campaign different is that the striking KitKat logo with its strong brand identity has been removed from its central position on the wrapper for this special edition and replaced by YouTube. In addition, Google’s Android operating system, in the wake of Cupcake, Donut, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean, was given a brand name in the shape of KitKat for the first time in history. It is an open secret in the industry

nach Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich und Jelly Bean mit KitKat erstmals in der Geschichte einen Markennamen. Dass Nestlé für dieses Privileg tief in die Tasche gegriffen hat, gilt in der Branche als offenes Geheimnis. Damit unterstreicht der Konzern, was Experten und Untersuchungen zuletzt immer wieder herausgestellt haben: Der Verpackung kommt als Markenbotschafterin heute elementare Bedeutung zu – gerade im Bereich der Süßwaren. „Die Produktvielfalt steigt, der Wettbewerb wird härter.

Wer auf dem Süßwarenmarkt Erfolg haben will, muss sein Produkt gut präsentieren“, sagt Torben Erbrath vom Bundesverband der Deutschen Süßwarenindustrie (BDSI).

Das gilt umso mehr, als die Auswahl an Nasch- und Backwerk am Point of Sale stetig wächst. Immer häufiger ergänzen zuckerfreie oder zucker- und fettreduzierte Süßwaren die bereits seit vielen Jahren bestehenden Tra-

conferences

that Nestlé dug deep into its pocket for the privilege. This way the group is underlining something that experts and studies have recently repeatedly found: that the package is of supreme importance today in communicating the brand – particularly in the confectionery sector. “With increasing product diversity, competition is getting tougher.

If you want success on the confectionery market, you have to present your product well,” says Torben Erbrath of Germany’s Association of the Confectionery Industry (BDSI).

This applies all the more as the selection of sweets and bakery products at

the point of sale is constantly growing.

The existing products with traditions going back many years are being supplemented more and more by sugar-free or sugar- and fat-reduced confectionery. The range of confectionery suitable for vegetarian or vegan diets is also on the increase. In addition, confectionery that is gluten- or lactose-free or even halal or kosher can now be found in almost any supermarket. In the snack sector, says BDSI, the palette is growing in diversity and with a huge variety of flavours – whether in nuts, deep-fried or baked salty snacks. “Thanks to this vast diversity, there’s a matching prod-

ditionsprodukte. Auch das Angebot von Süßwaren, die für vegetarische oder vegane Ernährung geeignet sind, nimmt weiter zu. In fast jedem Supermarkt finden sich außerdem Süßwaren, die gluten- oder laktosefrei oder auch halal bzw. koscher sind. Auch im Bereich der Knabberartikel gibt es nach Angaben des BDSI ein immer differenzierteres Angebot und eine große geschmackliche Auswahl – sei es an Nüssen, an frittierten oder auch an gebackenen salzigen Snacks. „Bei dieser großen Vielfalt findet jeder Verbraucher das für ihn passende Produkt“, sagt Erbrath. „Die Verpackung ebnet den Weg in den Einkaufswagen.“ Verpackungsdesigner stehen damit vor einer schwierigen Aufgabe: Sie müssen das Naschwerk mit pfiffigen Slogans nach Möglichkeit multi-

medial bekannt machen und im Regal mit auffälligen Farben und Formen ins Szene setzen.

Allerdings gilt es, beim Ringen um Präsenz nicht zu übertreiben. Denn übermäßiger Einsatz von Material und damit Ressourcen kommen beim Verbraucher nicht gut an. „Die Kunden legen immer mehr Wert darauf, ihren ökologischen Fußabdruck möglichst klein zu halten. Außerdem haben sie einen starken Wunsch nach gesunden, ultra-frischen Lebensmitteln, die gleichzeitig extrem convenient und ästhetisch verpackt sein sollen“, sagt Andreas Steinle vom Zukunftsinstitut, einer Denkfabrik für Trend- und Zukunftsforschung. Doch nicht nur aus ökologischen, sondern auch aus Kostengründen sollte die Industrie auf allzu ausladende und aufwendig produ-

uct for every consumer,” says Erbrath.

“The package paves the way into the shopping trolley.” Package designers are therefore faced with a difficult task.

They have to publicise the snack with memorable slogans across all possible media and showcase it on the shelves with attention-grabbing colours and shapes.

However, when jostling for position, it is best not to overdo it. Because making excessive use of materials and hence resources does not go down well with the consumer. “Customers are attaching growing importance to keeping their ecological footprint as small as possible. And they also have a strong desire for healthy, ultra-fresh foods that also come in high-convenience and attractive packages,” says Andreas Steinle of the Zukunftsinstitut (Future Institute), a think tank for trend and future research. But industry should do without overly flamboyant and elaborately produced packages for economic reasons

as well as ecological ones. The cost not only of raw materials such as milk, cocoa and sugar, but also of energy and packaging materials is steadily rising.

To lastingly attract consumers who want sustainably produced goods and prevent the cost of materials and production from spiralling out of control, industry has no alternative but to econ-

omise on materials and above all avoid excessively extravagant packages while also reducing energy input in production. The fact that material downsizing is possible is illustrated by studies by pacproject, an international firm of consultants. As an example, it has taken a close look at the historic Corny muesli bar wrappers and discovered that the

zierte Verpackungen verzichten. Denn einerseits steigen die Preise für Rohstoffe wie Milch, Kakao und Zucker, anderseits werden Energie und Verpackungsmaterialien immer teurer.

Um Verbraucher, die sich nachhaltig produzierte Waren wünschen, weiter an sich zu binden, und Material- und Fertigungskosten nicht ausufern zu lassen, hat die Industrie keine Alternative: Sie muss Material sparen und vor allem allzu ausladende Verpackungen vermeiden und zudem energiesparender produzieren. Dass das sogenannte Material-Down-Sizing möglich ist, zeigen Untersuchungen des internationalen Beratungsunternehmens pacproject. Es hat beispielhaft die historischen Verpackungen der bekannten Corny-Müsliriegel unter die Lupe genommen und festgestellt, dass die Barriere-Aluminiumfolie der Verpackung des Produkts in den vergangenen 30 Jahren stetig reduziert und schließlich durch einen neuen Barriere-Verbund substituiert wurde

– ohne negative Auswirkungen auf das Produkt. „Auch ohne den vollen Barriereschutz befand sich der CornyRiegel am Ende des Mindesthaltbarkeitsdatums qualitativ im sehr guten Bereich. Dies hat die Frage aufgeworfen, ob nicht auch die aktuellen Folien mehr Schutz und Barrieren bieten, als der Cerealien-Riegel eigentlich benötigt“, sagt pacproject-Verpackungsingenieur Alexander Witt.

Alternativen zu klassischen Verpackungsmaterialien wie Aluminium und Kunststoff gewinnen auf dem Markt bereits zunehmend an Bedeutung.

Die Firma Bionatic etwa hat unter dem Namen Greenbox ein erstes Sortiment von rund 250 verschiedenen Verpackungslösungen aus erneuerbaren oder recycelten Rohstoffen wie Holz, Cellulose, Biokunststoff und Palmblatt entwickelt. Viele dieser Lösungen seien biologisch abbaubar oder umweltfreundlich in der Verbrennung, sagt Bionatic-Gründer Robert Czichos. Und die Produktion sei simpel: „Aus einem

Blatt wird eine Verpackung, indem es zunächst mit Wasser unter Hochdruck gereinigt wird. Dann wird es in einer mechanischen Presse mit Druck und Wärme in eine Form gebracht. Es ist also ein sogenannter Tiefziehvorgang.

Danach folgt das Finishing, indem die Kanten geschliffen und die Flächen poliert werden. Und das ist dann auch schon alles.“ Unterdessen suchen Wissenschaftler nach weiteren alternativen Materialien. So arbeitet das FraunhoferInstitut für Verfahrenstechnik und Verpackung (IVV) im Rahmen des Projekts ThermoWhey an einem Herstellverfahren für Barrierebeschichtungen aus Molkeprotein, das die herkömmliche ölhaltigen Polymerbeschichtungen ersetzt. Der Vorteil von Molke: Ihre Inhaltsstoffe können die Haltbarkeit von Lebensmitteln natürlich verlängern. Allerdings ist Molke hitzeempfindlich, sodass die Forscher erst eine Beschichtungsformulierung finden müssen, die sich auch bei ho-

product’s aluminium barrier film wrapper has been steadily reduced in the last 30 years and finally replaced by a new composite barrier material – without detriment to the product. “Even without full barrier protection, the Corny bar was still in a very good qualitative condition at the end of its sell-by date.

And this raised the question whether the cereal bar actually needs the level of protection and barrier effect provid-

ed by current films,” says pacproject packaging engineer Alexander Witt.

Alternatives to classical packaging materials like aluminium and plastics are already making increasing inroads into the marketplace. Under its Greenbox label, Bionatic, for example, has developed its first range of some 250 different packaging solutions using renewable or recycled resources such as wood, cellulose, bioplastics and

palm leaf. Many of these solutions are biodegradable or can be incinerated pollution-free, says Bionatic founder Robert Czichos. And their production is straightforward: “A single leaf is converted into package by first cleaning it with a high-pressure water jet. And then it is moulded on exposure to heat in a mechanical press. So it’s a kind of deep-drawing process. This is followed by finishing in which the edges are smoothed and the surfaces polished.

And that is pretty well it.”

Meanwhile scientists are searching for further alternative materials. In the context of its ThermoWhey project, the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging (IVV) is working on a production process for barrier coatings made of whey protein capable of replacing conventional oil-based polymer coatings. The advantage of whey is that its ingredients are naturally capable of extending the shelf life of foods. However, whey is heat-sensitive,

hen Temperaturen verarbeiten lässt.

Auf der interpack 2017 vom 04. bis 10.

Mai in Düsseldorf werden noch viele weitere Verpackungsinnovationen für Süß- und Backwaren zu sehen sein.

2700 Aussteller werden erwartet, davon haben rund 1000 die Süßwarenbranche als Zielgruppe für ihre Produkte und Dienstleistungen angegeben – entsprechend umfangreich wird das Angebot sein. Auch die Maschinenbauer werden in Düsseldorf mit zahlreichen Innovationen aufwarten. „Ein verantwortungsbewusster Umgang mit natürlichen Ressourcen und umweltschonendes Wirtschaften hat bei Herstellern von Nahrungsmittelmaschinen und Verpackungsmaschinen einen hohen Stellenwert. Sie wissen, dass nachhaltige Produktionsprozesse bei ihren Kunden großgeschrieben werden“, sagt Vera Fritsche, Referentin im VDMA Fachverband Nahrungsmittelmaschinen und Verpackungsmaschinen. Noch böten sich in der Süßwarenproduktion zahlreiche Optimierungsmöglichkeiten.

Intelligente Steuerungs- und Automatisierungstechnik, sparsame Antriebe, Kompressoren, Lüfter oder Pumpen zählten zu den klassischen Lösungen, um Strom und Betriebsmittel einzusparen und die Energieeffizienz zu steigern. Effiziente Motoren, optimal an die Bewegungen und Beschleunigungsvorgänge in den Maschinen angepasst, senkten den Stromverbrauch. Darüber hinaus senkten innovative und optimierte Prozesse den Verbrauch von Energie und Wasser, verlängerten innovative Maschinenkonzepte die Service- und Wartungsintervalle sowie die Betriebsdauer und sparten dadurch Energie ein, so Fritsche.

Der Schweizer Anlagenbauer Bühler zählt zu den Protagonisten effizienter Verarbeitungslösungen und hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, den Energiebedarf in allen seinen Kernprozessen bis 2020 um mindestens weitere 20 Prozent zu reduzieren. „Damit können wir sowohl die Energieeffizienz unserer Produkte erhöhen als auch gleichzeitig einen

Beitrag zum Umweltschutz leisten“, sagt Ian Roberts, Technikchef des Konzerns. Einen zentralen Aspekt sieht er dabei in der Produktivität, etwa durch Verkürzung der Zykluszeiten. Zudem verstärkt Bühler die Anstrengungen, um die Energieeffizienz in bestehenden Kundenanlagen zu verbessern. So ist die Schokoladenherstellung aufgrund der zahlreichen Prozessschritte wie das Reinigen, Rösten, Debakterisieren, Brechen und Vermahlen der Kakaobohnen sehr aufwendig und teuer. Bühler verspricht, die Energiekosten der Kakaoverarbeitung um 65 Prozent zu senken, wenn Kunden einerseits das kostenlose Energy Audit des Unternehmens nutzen und andererseits seine neue Schalenverbrennungstechnik zum Einsatz kommt. Bei dem Audit werden Energielecks im Herstellungsprozess aufgespürt. Das neue Verbrennungssystem nutzt die aus den Schalen gewonnene Energie zur Röstung und Debakterisierung anstatt die Schalen direkt zu entsorgen – dadurch muss keine Heizener-

so researchers first have to find a coating formulation that can also be processed at high temperatures.

At interpack 2017 in Düsseldorf from 4 to 10 May, many more packaging innovations for confectionery and bakery products will also be on show. 2,700 exhibitors are expected, and some 1,000 of these have named the confectionery industry as a target group for their products and services – and what they will be exhibiting will be suitably wide-ranging. Machine manufacturers will also be present in Düsseldorf with numerous innovations. “Manufacturers of food-processing and packaging machines accord high priority to handling natural resources responsibly and managing their processes with minimal environmental impact. They know how important sustainable production processes are for customers,” says Vera Fritsche, expert at the association for food processing machines and packaging machines within VDMA (Mechani-

cal Engineering Industry Association).

In confectionery production, Fritsche continues, there is still plenty of room for optimisation. Intelligent control and automation technologies and energyefficient drives, compressors, fans and pumps are some of the classical solutions for saving electricity and other resources and boosting energy-efficiency.

Efficient motors perfectly adapted to machine movements and acceleration processes reduce power consumption.

In addition, says Fritsche, innovative and optimised processes cut the consumption of energy and water, while innovative machine designs extend service and maintenance intervals and service life and thus save energy.

Swiss plant manufacturer Bühler, one of the prime movers in efficient processing solutions, has set itself the goal of reducing energy consumption in all of its core processes by at least a further 20 per cent by 2020. “This way we can both raise the energy-efficiency

of our products and also do our bit for environmental protection at the same time,” says Ian Roberts, the Group’s Chief Technology Officer. He sees a central aspect here in productivity – by shortening cycle times, for example.

Additionally, Bühler is redoubling its efforts to improve the energy efficiency of existing customer installations. Because of the numerous process steps such as cleaning, roasting, debacterising, crushing and grinding the cocoa beans, chocolate manufacture is highly complex and costly. Bühler pledges to slash energy costs in cocoa processing by 65 per cent if customers make use of the company’s free energy audit and also adopt its shell burning technology.

The audit is used for tracking down energy leaks in the production process. As an alternative to the direct disposal of the shells, the new combustion system exploits the energy obtained from the shells for roasting and debacterising, so no heating energy has to be bought in.

Auch Theegarten-Pactec treibt Maschinenlösungen mit hohem Einsatz voran, die Kunden bei Kostenersparnissen helfen. Dabei fokussiert sich die Firma unter anderem auf das Thema Industrie 4.0, also die Digitalisierung der Produktion und eine bessere Kommunikation zwischen Mensch und Maschine und Maschine und Maschine mithilfe neuester Software. „Produktionsprozesse transparent zu gestalten, wichtige Daten immer abrufbar zu haben, diese richtig zu analysieren und schlussendlich die richtigen Handlungsschritte abzuleiten, birgt ein großes Potenzial zur Effizienzsteigerung in sich“, sagt TheegartenChef Markus Rustler. Zu diesem Zweck habe das Unternehmen bereits 2011 begonnen, sein User Interface und die damit verbundene Aufbereitung der Daten für den Maschinen-Operator und das Management zu überarbeiten. „Somit haben wir eine Plattform geschaffen, welche die Performance

unserer Anlagen transparenter macht.

Somit können beispielsweise Effizienzverluste in Korrelation zu Zeit, Umgebungstemperatur oder anderen Parametern gesetzt werden und die Fehlersuche und Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe unterstützt werden“, so Rustler. Außerdem sei die intuitive Unterstützung der Wartungs- und Reinigungsprozesse optimiert worden, etwa, indem die Maschine selbstständig auf Serviceund Wartungsintervalle hinweise. Der Vorteil von Automation und Digitalisierung: Die kommunikationstechnisch verketteten Maschinen könnten durch wenige oder sogar nur einen Operator bedient werden. Und durch Integration des User Interface in mobile Endgeräte könnten die Maschinendaten von jedem Punkt der Welt abgerufen und bearbeitet werden, sagt Rustler.

Die Schweizer Firma Knobel Maschinenbau, Spezialist für Maschinen zur Schokoladenherstellung, hilft Herstellern auf andere Weise, Kosten zu sparen. Er bietet seine Anlagen – Eintafel-

Anlagen, Gießmaschinen und andere Geräte – im Baukastenprinzip an, sodass Kunden ihre Produktion schrittweise aufbauen und bei Bedarf punktuell in Segmenten umrüsten können.

Das ermöglicht ihnen eine hohe Flexibilität und erlaubt ihnen somit eine schnelle und effiziente Umstellung auf neue Produkte. Schnelle Umrüstzeiten würden auch dadurch ermöglicht, dass neue Maschinen mit Plug-andPlay einfach im System integriert werden könnten, heißt es bei Knobel.

Die Maschinenbauer haben sich mit zahlreichen, effizienzsteigernden Neuerungen auf die Anforderungen der Hersteller von Süß- und Backwaren eingestellt. Damit können sie nicht nur bei der Wahl der Verpackungsmaterialien, sondern auch bei der Modernisierung ihrer Linien aus dem Vollen schöpfen. Auf der interpack können sie sich von diesen Innovationen ein genaues Bild machen.

Theegarten-Pactec is also pushing vigorously ahead with machine solutions that help customers cut their costs. The company is focusing among other things on “Industry 4.0”, i.e. the digitalisation of production and streamlined human-machine and machine-machine communication with the aid of the latest software.

“Making production processes transparent, keeping key data retrievable at all times, analysing them correctly and ultimately deciding on the appropriate course of action holds great potential for boosting efficiency,” says Markus Rustler, Theegarten’s Managing Partner.

For this purpose, the company started back in 2011 to overhaul its user interface and the associated data processing for the machine operator and management. “We have thus created a platform that makes the performance of our systems more transparent. For example, it is possible to establish correlations between efficiency losses and time, am-

bient temperature or other parameters.

And this helps operators to track down errors and to find their own solutions,” says Rustler. Furthermore, the intuitive support of maintenance and cleaning processes has been optimised – with active service and maintenance interval reminders from the machine itself, for example. The advantage of automation and digitalisation is that the machinery linked into complex communication systems can be operated by fewer operators, in some cases even only one.

And by integrating the user interface into mobile consumer devices, the data from the machinery can be accessed and even edited from anywhere in the world, says Rustler.

The Swiss company Knobel Maschinenbau, a specialist in machines for chocolate manufacture, helps producers to cut costs in other ways. It sells its equipment – moulding lines, stand-alone

depositors and other devices – on the modular principle so that customers can extend their production step by step and, if required, re-equip their production locally segment-wise. This offers them high flexibility and thus permits rapid and efficient changeover to new products. Swift re-equipping has also been made possible by simply integrating new machines in the system on the plug-and-play principle, Knobel explains.

With numerous efficiency-boosting innovations, machine manufacturers have attuned themselves to the requirements of manufacturers of confectionery and bakery products. This gives the latter plenty of scope not only in their choice of packaging materials, but also in the modernisation of their lines. And at interpack, they can find out all about these innovations. www.interpack.com
