The ingredients are stored in stainless steel silos and the products are dosed using stainless steel screws.

The ingredients are dosed into buckets, either manually or automatically and placed on the weighing trolley which has an electronic scale.

The weighing trolley automatically positions the bucket under the silo from which the ingredients are to be dosed, then moves it to the final position, where the operator can collect the weighed recipe and the identification label.

The management software allows collects all information about the operation reports and statistics. The pc can be interfaced with external systems to export the data.

SUPERUNICA Superunica is a fully automatic weighing system, allowing accurate safe and clean powder recipes preparation.

The system consists of a number of independent storage silos, installed in line on a modular structure. A

SUPERUNICA

weighing trolley incorporating the electronic scale is automatically transported to the correct silo position. Each module can accommodate silos with different capacities (300, 150 , 100 and 50 L) which are loaded by gravity or by means of a vacuum system.

The lower section of each silo is equipped with an efficient combined screw/vibration dispensing device (Lawer patented) which allows the rapid and accurate dispensing of the powder.

The bucket loading / unloading process takes place automatically and each bucket is identified by an ID-TAG system. At the end of each weighing cycle the data of the recipe is printed on an identification label.

The system is protected by a full enclosure box, designed to connect to an external conditioning system, which ensures complete isolation of the plant, granting the ideal working conditions even in harsh environments (high humidity rate, abrupt thermal changes, air draughts and dust).

An efficient suction / filtering device guarantees the maximum safety of

operation and a clean working environment.

The system operates by means of dedicated Lawer Software SUPERSINCRO Supersincro allows precise and safe automatic dosing operations of the ingredients required for the food industry preparations in automatic thermoformed bags consisting of tubular films. The modular configuration is based on the number of products used, and the physical characteristics and the packaging used.

At each cycle the package container is placed on a moving tray and transported on a U route placing the package under the different dosing units.

When the container is in the correct position for the product, the scale lifts up the container and starts the dosing procedure. At the end of the loop the bags are closed and placed automatically in boxes or pallets.

INNOVATIVE FLOUR COOLING SYSTEM BY AGRIFLEX SRL PATENT NR. 1401347

S

ince over 40 years, Agriflex srl is leader manufacturer of installations for the handling of raw materials. Thanks to our inhouse research department, we have successfully conceived, built an patented our innovative system for the flour cooling.

Let us introduce it to you as follows: Dough temperature control is a key factor in obtaining constant and ideal quality in the production of bakery products at industrial and small business level. Infact, the cooling process of the flours allows slowing down the rising of the dough and adequately adjusting it to the times of each production line.

Among the methods currently used for this purpose, often with high costs and poor results, one of the most common and popular is that of lowering the dough temperature by adding ice.

The limitation of this method is in the empirical approach used both to determine the amount of ice to be used in function of the detected temperature and the reduced quantity of water to pour in the dough since it is obtained by the melting of the ice.

Some people cool the dough by mixing liquid nitrogen, although this method is quite expensive and therefore impractical.

Others mix the flours using lamellar flows of cold air, but this is a poorly

- complete system automation that, thanks to the reduced thermal inertia and the absence of accumulations, ensures the correct temperature of the dough, compensating the temperature variations of the other components and ambient temperature; - ease of maintenance since all areas can be easily cleaned.

efficient method, due to the reduced specific heat of the air and the risk of changing its humidity.

quently reduced operating costs; - high effectiveness thanks to the considerable temperature reduction;

The Agriflex Flour Cooling System is easily retrofitted on existing installations and it is particularly suggested in various productions.

Finally, another cooling method uses screw heat-exchangers: while conveying flours to the mixer, their movement mixes them with liquid nitrogen or CO2 that is injected for cooling purposes. Unfortunately, despite being excellent for flour conveying, the screw is not equally effective in mixing flour with the cooling means, which consequently are used in large quantities and increase both plant and operating costs due to the difficulty of cleaning and maintaining such cumbersome heat exchangers in efficient working order.

The proposed method offers different, significant advantages: - high energy efficiency thanks to the direct exchange and conse-

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

The company has a long story of positive results.

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

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

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

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

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

Efficiency and Effectiveness are the key-words.

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

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

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

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

PED COMPLIANT PRODUCTS In order to improve the production quality and to control all the production processes internally, GVF Im- pianti Srl has decided to request and obtain the WPS (Welding Procedure Standard) certification.

The engineering department uses the most up-to-date design and 3D

The company is now able to produce PED com- pliant vessels for its pneumatic conveyors, certified by TÜV (CE0948).

POWDER AND BULK SOLIDS LEADING TRADE FAIR FOR PROCESSING

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GVF Impianti Srl can supply on request also pneumatic conveyors for

POWTECH 2017: PRODUCT INDIVIDUALISATION IN THE FOODSTUFFS AND FEED INDUSTRY

T

he foodstuffs and feed industry must constantly adapt to accommodate the changing requirements of its customers and nutritional trends among end consumers. Key factors are not only how effectively marketing and product development can pick up on new trends, but especially whether production can implement these trends with the necessary flexibility, efficiency and quality. POWTECH 2017 (Nuremberg, 26-28 September), the leading trade fair for processing, analysis, and handling of powder and bulk solids, offers heads of production and users the latest technical solutions covering everything from sorting, grinding and mixing to agglomerating and filling. Another important topic for exhibitors, reflected in the supporting programme for POWTECH, is digital solutions for process control, automation and in-line measurement.

The foodstuffs industry is clearly a pioneer in the digital transformation of the process industry. Marijke Vreugdenhil, Marketing Manager at Dutch POWTECH exhibitor KSE Process Technology B.V., describes the demands that plant operators currently place on process control systems: “The biggest challenge is the ever-increasing flexibility that plants, and therefore also the control systems, are expected to offer. It’s a consequence of increasing product individualisation.

So, for example, farmers demand their own specially formulated feed mixes, and feed producers respond by flexibly changing their recipes. On this basis we can assume that every farm animal will soon have its own specially formulated food, a phenomenon we can already

see in the pet food industry. Another hot topic, of course, will be the need for absolute traceability (i.e. tracking and tracing) in future, from seed through to the final meat product.”

R

omaco Kilian KTP 590X rotary press The KTP 590X was designed by Romaco Kilian with three separate compression stations for effervescent products. The powder is first of all tamped to prevent air pockets, then pre-compressed and finally converted into finished effervescent tablets in the main compression unit. The dwell time is significantly longer owing to the use of 28/41 tooling, meaning less risk of capping and the option of harder tablets. The KTP 590X can also be fitted with two standard fill shoe modules at any time and used to manufacture bi-layer formats. The new fill shoe generation processes even poorly flowing or sticky powders extremely efficiently.

Thanks to the optimised paddle design, the powder is uniformly distributed in the die and homogeneously compressed. All in all, the Kilian KTP 590X boasts a maximum output of up to 510,000 tablets per hour.

The KTP 590X rotary press is the newest model in Romaco Kilian’s KTP series. With its three design features “Cool, Fast & Clean”, the technology is particularly ideal for pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. “Cool” stands for process temperatures of less than 30°C, which is an advantage when processing temperature sensitive vitamins or medications. “Fast” denotes the optimised retooling and cleaning times which enable fast product changes. “Clean” refers to the hygienic design, which improves both product quality and process reliability. The compaction, retooling and

Romaco Kilian KTP 590X rotary press service areas are strictly separate for this reason. The patented bellows protect the tablets from contamination with lubricants during compression.

Romaco Kilian retrofit kit: electronic upgrade A comprehensive electronic upgrade extends the service life of Romaco Kilian tablet presses in the following series: E 150 (Plus), LX, RTS, RX, S 250 (Plus), T 100, T 300, T 400 and TX. The upgrade systematically brings all control and regulating components into line with the latest state of the art.

The retrofit package includes the provision of an external electrical cabinet and the integration of a modern, ergonomic HMI panel. Installation and validation can be performed directly at the customer’s facility, saving time

and money and reducing downtime to a minimum. The mechanical components can be overhauled together with the electronic upgrade, so that users profit for a much longer period from highly reliable processes on their Romaco Kilian tablet presses. Remote Assist, the new online support system from Romaco Service, can also be implemented on request. Remote Assist permits a support case to be activated directly on the machine, immediately setting up a connection to a Kilian expert.

coating particle sizes from 10 µm to 2 mm. Due to its special design and enhanced processing efficiency, the VENTILUS® V 2.5 allows up to 25% shorter batch times. The homogeneous flow conditions inside the cylindrical product container enable extremely gentle intermixing of the batch. The process air is controlled by the ORBITER booster, an ingenious container bottom consisting of overlapping circular plates. Together with the ROTOJET, the central bottom spray nozzle, the ORBITER booster forms an innovative functional unit that meets all the requirements for linear scaleups. The air flow bed technology ensures accurate control of the product movement and equally precise application of the spray liquids. The resulting formulations can achieve the required release profile with between 10 and 15% less spray liquid.

ISO CERTIFICATION FOR DINNISSEN PROCESS TECHNOLOGY

W

ithin the markets where Dinnissen operates, customers place high demands on process and technology knowhow and applied solutions. Dinnissen plays a leading role here as a supplier and sets itself goals to safeguard this position. In addition to continuously innovating customer-centred products and solutions, Dinnissen has worked hard in recent months and achieved its goal of full ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 27001:2013 certification.

Quality “As an organisation we’ve shown continued steady growth for years,” says Operational Director Wouter Kuijpers.

“This has convinced us that our success has resulted from customer focus, ongoing innovation and striving for quality.” Among other things, this comes from the long-standing relationships that Dinnissen maintains with its customers. In the past, there were various reasons for not deciding to go for ISO 9001 certification. However, owing to the standard’s new ‘High Level Structure’ (HLS), now is the moment to demonstrate that the processes within Dinnissen meet the requirements of ISO 9001:2015. For existing and future customers, this certification will endorse the fact that quality and continuous innovation are fundamental to Dinnissen’s DNA. Environment Dinnissen’s environmental management system is an important tool for formalising principles and monitoring

progress. This way of working should lead to the organisation being raised to a higher level in the environmental field.

Dinnissen sets a high priority on the environment. This is evidenced, inter alia, by the fact that an environmental management system has been set up in accordance with the requirements of the ISO 14001 standard. However, managing environmental risks and reducing environmental impact are not separate tasks; they form part of Dinnissen’s day-to-day operations. This is why environmental management is integrated within the ‘High Level Structure’ quality management system.

Information security The general sharing of information is playing an increasingly important role in our society. The expectations within Dinnissen are that information security will therefore become an increasingly important aspect, not only for our society but also for our business operations. The management of Dinnissen has chosen not to wait until it is forced to take measures by the market but to react pro-actively. “In order to demonstrate to stake holders such as customers, suppliers and employees that we take this very seriously, we have certified our information security management system in accordance with the requirements of ISO 27001: 2013,” says Wouter Kuijpers. Obviously, the Dinnissen

organisation must continuously comply with statutory requirements, covenants and guidelines in the area of quality, environment and information security. However, Dinnissen goes one step further. “As an organisation we want to be and remain a reliable partner for all stake holders. The ISO certification will contribute to this end,” states Wouter Kuijpers.

Barry Callebaut focuses on the BEUMER packaging line:

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

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

B

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

20 BEUMER - FP 4-17.indd 3

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

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

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

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

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

TECHNICAL SERVICE KEEPS PLANTS UP-TO-DATE MODERNIZING AND EXPANDING EXISTING PLANTS INCREASES THE EFFICIENCY AND SAVES COST Plants in the food industry can produce high quality products for decades as long as they are regularly updated. Doing so doesn’t always require extensive modernization work; however, it does require a constant dialogue with the plant manufacturer

T

he After Sales Service department of Zeppelin Systems GmbH looks after most plants for as long as they are in use.

The team not only takes care of regular maintenance work but also updates plants for today’s and fu-

ture challenges. These Revamping projects are an everyday challenge and encompass simple tasks like changing mechanical parts such as pipes or valves or even optimizing an entire plant, which can also mean exchanging a complete silo.

Projects are often driven by new legal requirements (e.g. ATEX), changes in the Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health, new hygiene standards or changes in the EC Directive on Machinery (e.g. energy efficiency). The Revamp-

ing team also gets involved when a new product or a new recipe is planned to be processed in the plant.

Another common case: A plant has been operational for two years already and the daily routine unveils handling bottlenecks. This happened in a cookie production plant in Saudi Arabia where the dosing of glucose/syrup mixture was done by hand – a sticky task that was hard to control. “Of course it doesn’t make sense to redesign the whole plant for that,” explains Martin Faller, Head of Key Components & Customer Service at Zeppelin Systems. “We integrated an automated dosing system instead that added the automated batch tracking as a bonus feature on top.” This application is a good example of how a small customer request can develop into a substantial Revamping order. “We learn through experience that the plant operators are often not involved enough at the planning stage of the plant,” says Faller. Many Revamping projects provide the opportunity to optimize the plants for the local requirements while implementing measures to improve productivity.

tleneck, the buffer vessels were enlarged and equipped with special discharge screws that had an integrated mixer with intermittent operation. This led not only to an increase of throughput but also to a reduction of clotting and sticking, putting an end to the frequent plant downtimes. Another good example are plants in the Middle East, where fluctuations in quality hinder the continuous supply of raw material. This is often countered by an increase in silo capacity which, in turn, leads to Revamping programs. The same tendency is true for Europe, although here the driving factor is fluctuation in price rather than in quality, but the demand for Revamping projects is just the same.

Whole-grain flour presents new challenges Sometimes consumer trends trigger Revamping projects. The Brandt group employs more than 800 people in three locations in Germany.

Brandt is the market leader in Germany with a share of 80% of the zwieback business and sells its products worldwide – six million zwieback toasts a day, along with crispbread and chocolate. 60 tons

of zwieback are produced every day in the Ohrdruf (Germany) plant close to Gotha near Erfurt, Thuringia. Zeppelin Systems (formerly Reimelt) supplied this plant twelve years ago and since then, the maintenance team around the technical director Steffen Keichel has been taking care of maintenance, optimization and operation. In 2012,

Simply update the mechanics Many Revamping projects are initiated in order to upgrade the control technology, usually from the Simatic S5 to the S7 system.

“Operators are used to software changes, but who thinks about updating a discharge aid? Mechanics can be brought to a whole new level just as well,” Faller claims. There was a project where originally just a recipe change was planned.

This required changing the powdered sugar dosing from one line to two. In the end, not only were the old steel vessels exchanged for stainless steel ones but the filters as well to meet the ATEX requirements. In order to eliminate a bot-

23 ZEPPELING FP 4-17.indd 4

special

POWDER AND BULK SOLIDS LEADING TRADE FAIR FOR PROCESSING

Brandt approached Zeppelin Systems in order to adjust the plant to new demands from the market.

“The content of whole-grain flour had increased year after year,” reports Keichel. Until then, the wholegrain flour required had always been weighed manually and added to the dough. This was feasible but very labor-intensive and always prone to human error, requiring additional strict control that used up time reserved for other tasks. Therefore, changing the dosing and weighing of whole-grain flour from manually to fully automatic was necessary.

“We designated an existing silo to whole-grain flour and modified it accordingly,” says Keichel, describing the plant integration. The silo is 16 meters high, has a discharge unit and an additional separate sifting machine. Diverter valves were changed and pipes newly routed.

“This might sound relatively simple, but on top of all mechanical integration work, the silo and the new diverter valves had to be integrated into the programming and visualized in the user interfaces,” he explains. Brandt gladly relied on Zeppelin Systems for the planning and realization of the Revamping. “Zeppelin Systems knew the plant in and out, making the silo integration a

very fast job,” says Keichel. Thanks to perfect preparation and planning and a very experienced team, the Revamping was completed in less than three days. Today the production planning is done more flexibly and manual weighing is history. “We have not only gained new freedom in planning and are more flexible in production, we also have more time for other tasks now,” he adds while praising the excellent cooperation.

“I am sure we will turn to Zeppelin Systems again when another project such as this one arises.”

Trust is everything From a customer’s view, Revamping projects are less time-consuming than rebuilding complete plants, which requires substantially larger investments and often causes production downtime.

Zeppelin Systems is convinced that Revamping is the logical consequence resulting from the long-lasting and very close relationship with their customers. “We stay close to the customers from the very beginning of the plant to its end,” says Faller and adds: “We did that even long before the term lifecycle management was coined.” For Faller, Revamping is not just a department

in an organization. “The basis for our Revamping projects is the trust of our customer and our constant dialogue with him. Often enough plant operators don’t know what technology offers today.” Zeppelin has the vast experience of the most unconventional solutions realized in more than 1,000 plants world-wide.

Operators can count on getting the best solution possible.

TABLET COATER IN A NEW DESIGN

A

t Powtech, Gebrüder Lödige Maschinenbau GmbH will be showcasing a series of innovations in the field of coating technology for the pharmaceutical industry. The LC series of coaters, specially conceived for coating tablets, has been the subject of extensive redesign. For example, a newly configured airflow now provides a significant boost in efficiency and availability of the machines.

Advanced sensors facilitate optimization of the spraying and drying process, and simple and safe adjustment of the nozzle arm makes handling easier. The latest member of the LC coater family will also be exhibited at the trade fair booth: the LC Lab was specially developed for use in the laboratory.

With the newly configured air flow, Lödige has significantly increased the throughput capacity for tablet coating. In contrast to the previous forced air feed via an intake boot, the air to the LC series of coaters flows through an air injection manifold over a large circumference of the coater drum in the direction of the tablet bed. This enables even, largely turbulence-free entry of a large a volume of drying air into the drum. The innovative concept ensures a high drying capacity and hence high spraying rates. The undesirable effect of spray drying, resulting in spraying losses during coating, is effectively prevented. This not only extends the intervals between the cleaning procedures; it also significantly reduces cleaning effort. If cleaning is necessary, this can usually be carried out simply and economically, even in the case of highly effective products, with an integrated WIP or CIP system.

Reliable thanks to new sensors Accurate spacing of the nozzles from

the tablet bed is critical for optimum spraying results. To accomplish this reliably and simply, the LC series of coaters was equipped with new features: a laser distance sensor carries out the required measurement. The nozzle is subsequently adjusted from the outside by means of a hand wheel.

Thus, the operator is – in contrast to previous solutions – not required to reach into the coater. As an option, distance measurement and adjustment can be performed fully automatically. The correct distance is thus adhered to during the entire spraying phase.When it comes to product temperature, Lödige sets great store by precision. Normally, it is determined by exhaust air temperature; however, the latter responds rather sluggishly.

Due to the high relevance of product temperature for the drying process, the Paderborn experts opted for an additional solution. An infrared sensor takes a measurement directly beneath the spraying zone. Precise measurement guarantees that the film-coated tablets do not cool down during the spraying phase.

High-performance, small scale: the new LC Lab laboratory coater At its trade fair booth Lödige will also be presenting the newly developed LC Lab laboratory coater. The new addition to Lödige’s LC series of coaters is of modular design and can be equipped with the individual modules needed for the coating process or specific application.

The engineers oriented the design of the coater fully to requirements in the laboratory – starting with the choice of material for the housing. The latter is made of Corian. The FDA-compliant composite material with outstanding hygienic properties offers a whole series of advantages, particularly in

the laboratory. It is easy to clean, resistant to solvents as well as impact-, scratch- and wear-proof and permits a joint-free finish. Seams that are problematic from a hygienic point of view were thus avoided from the outset in the LC Lab. Simplicity of handling has been consistently pursued with the LC Lab. For instance, the utilizable volume of the entire drum can be halved with ease while retaining the drum geometry.

This is made possible by a specially developed, convex partitioning screen and segmented nozzle arm. Trials with cost-intensive materials can thus be initially carried out with low product deployment and the results then applied to larger batches. The nozzle arm was adapted to laboratory needs in cooperation with the experts of Düsen-Schlick. Two standard highperformance nano nozzles are used.

These ensure optimum nebulization of the coating fluid, even at low spraying pressures. Four nozzles are optionally available for demanding applications. Due to the use of plastic and titanium, the nozzle arm is particularly lightweight and easy to handle. The innovations introduced by Lödige for the commercial LC coater also offer advantages for the smaller LC Lab. The nozzle arm and its position can be reproducibly adjusted by the operator from the outside and thus geared to product-specific changes to the tablet bed during the coating process.

The new low-turbulence supply of drying air flow also ensures an optimum drying process with the LC Lab with minimum spray drying and dust buildup on the nozzles.

NEW LABORATORY MIXER FOR THE FOODSTUFFS AND PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES – EXPANDED R&D CENTER

D

etmold/Germany, August 2017 – At Powtech 2017, MTI Mischtechnik presents an all-new line of laboratory mixers developed for the pharmaceutical and foodstuffs sectors.

The design corresponds to these industries’ very exacting hygiene requirements; the systems can nevertheless be flexibly adapted to the special needs of diverse applications. The model shown at stand 1-254 in hall 1 was configured at the request of an industry leader who will use it for recipe development in dairy processing.

A further highlight is MTI’s UT 250 vertical universal mixer having a working volume of 205 liters; this unit, too, is built to a very high standard. In addition, MTI presents the latest capacity expansion of its R&D Center that will provide further flexibility gains in developing customer-specific machine configurations and in implementing pilot production runs.

New laboratory mixer for elevated hygiene requirements The MTI laboratory mixer premiered at this year’s Powtech fulfils elevated hygiene requirements, whether in homogenising different recipe ingredients or as a friction mixer for carrying out thermal processes.

The energy input is adjustable over a wide range via the machine’s

rotational speed and hence, the peripheral velocity of the mixing tool. Moreover, the mixture can be tempered by water via the mixer’s double jacket. Thus, the application range of the new laboratory mixer covers broadly diverse process tasks, including coating, agglomerating and vacuum drying.

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

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

and 37 m/s. For additional flexibility in the laboratory the mixer can be moved on casters. As has been standard on MTI products for many years, the new laboratory mixer features a clearly structured touch panel and a Siemens S7 control for manual and automatic operation.

Still more versatility in developing for and with customers For a number of years, MTI – with its excellently equipped in-house R&D Center – has been on record as a particularly efficient partner in the development of tailor-made mixer technology.

With its most recent expansion, the company’s laboratory provides more scope, e.g., for trials on a larger production scale, as well as a dedicated area for testing under ATEX conditions plus special rooms for mixing products subject to a high contamination risk. Since October 2016, MTI’s experienced team has been reinforced by process engineer René Weiffen, who brings additional expertise to the task of resolving R&D challenges for, and with, MTI’s customers.

Ulrich Schär, General Manager at MTI, comments: “With the launch of the new laboratory mixer for particularly exacting hygiene requirements

MAJOR SAUDI POULTRY PROCESSOR NOW WELL-EQUIPPED TO MEET PRESENT AND FUTURE DEMAND

A

new 37,500 birds-per-hour poultry plant created for leading Saudi Arabian food company Almarai has been developed to keep pace both with growing demand and with changing consumer preferences.

Almarai is a dynamic, $3.36 billion turnover food company based in Saudi Arabia. Already the world’s largest vertically integrated dairy company and the biggest food manufacturer and distributor in the region, the company entered the poultry business in 2009 with the launch of Alyoum, its brand of premium chicken products.

“We became involved after identifying the opportunity to provide consumers with a high quality, premium poultry, which is an important part of the family food basket in Saudi Arabia,” says Larus Asgeirsson, General Manager of Almarai’s poultry division.

“There was also an important food security issue: a strong commitment to build local production,” he added.

While whole birds are, and will continue to be, an important part of the market, consumer demand is also driving development more in the direction of fixed weight packs of, for example, breast fillets, drumsticks, thighs, legs or wings, or combinations of different pieces.

Almarai’s objective was to be able to satisfy such demand with fully sealed, fixed-weight products meeting the highest standards of hygiene and presentation. The launch of Alyoum involved the purchase of a factory and farming site in Ha’il Province, where Almarai first came into contact with the Meyn Ishida alliance. The advanced technical ex-

trussing machines and glazing equipment and also the many associated infeed systems.

per tise and integrated approach of Meyn Ishida was in line with Almarai’s expectations for this sector’s development and, in keeping with the company’s ambitions, the scope of the project increased as the work proceeded. What began as a 21,000 bph (birds per hour) project, escalated over a 3-year period in three phases to become a 37,000 bph facility.

The new factory, with its 200 million birds per year capacity, is now one of the largest single output poultry plants in the world.

The equipment supplied included rehanging and cut-up systems, deboning machinery, multihead weighers, checkweighers, tray sealers and batching and grading systems as well as X-ray inspection systems and metal detectors. In addition there are scanners, strapping and

The level of integration is exceptional, thanks to a single organisation being in charge of supply and installation. Live bird handling, slaughter, evisceration, chilling, cut-up, deboning, batching and grading, weighing, piece mixing, packing, labelling and crating are all linked by, and contribute to, information exchange that enhances quality, efficiency and speed.

Once plucked, eviscerated and chilled, chickens can be sent for grading and packing as whole birds or delivered to one of the plant’s three cut-up systems.

For the whole birds, there are separate lines for packing into bags and trays.

Special fillet lines pack chicken breasts that have been removed with the greatest precision and then X-ray inspected for bone fragments. There are also separate packing lines for thighs, legs, wings and drumsticks. Little or nothing of the chicken is wasted, with lines also for giblets and for feet.

38 ISHIDA+LINX - FP 3-16.indd 3

26/05/16 15:16

PRESERVING INDUSTRY VEGETABLE

Other lines are devoted to producing mixtures of chicken pieces, such as drums, chops and wings, according to availability or market demand.

Most of these items can be delivered into fixed-weight trays or bags of high hygiene and appearance standards and as fresh or IQF (individually quick frozen) products. In addition, threaded through the plant are systems capable of collecting any of these parts for bulk packing.

Almarai’s view of what has been achieved reflects the reasons that Meyn, the poultry processing systems experts, and Ishida, the weighing, packing and end-of-line experts, came together to form Meyn Ishida as a one-

stop shop for complete-factory projects.

“Meyn provided fast and efficient processing systems and machinery, as well as the expertise needed to train staff and production managers.

Ishida provided automation of the weighing and packing processes to the same advanced level,” explains Larus Asgeirsson.

“The main benefit here, apart from the speed needed to keep up with the Meyn cut-up lines, was the reduction of giveaway to low levels.

“We see the new Ha’il plant as equipping us to meet demand far into the future and also of enabling us to serve the market’s movement towards poultry pieces sold in fixed weight packs,”

MEAT

continues Mr Asgeirsson.

“Meyn Ishida provided us with a strong team of professionals to drive the installation. They were well prepared and extremely professional.

“The Meyn Ishida lines have now been operating for two years, and I find them robust and reliable: we have had minimal downtime.”

Mr Asgeirsson also praised the dedication of the Ha’il workers, whose dedication and readiness to learn enabled them to adapt to the change from a 30-year old factory to possibly the most modern poultry processing plant anywhere today.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Researching the problem, Juran developed the ArilSystem™.

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

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

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

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

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

05/09/17 12:35

PRESERVING INDUSTRY VEGETABLE

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

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

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

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

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

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

But the big winners are the consumers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GEA IO: ONE CONTROL FOR EVERY CENTRIFUGE

GEA unifies controls for separators and decanters with their user-friendly IO control generation

I

n order to reduce complexity and to focus on user-friendliness, the GEA IO control generation will now be available for every separator and decanter. Initially launched in 2014 for decanters, GEA IO has been revised and improved to use it for all GEA centrifuges – for every kind of application.

The development of GEA IO has been focusing on user’s needs, aiming to keep the control as simple and userfriendly as possible. Consistently reduced to the essentials, operators are quickly able to understand and handle the control units of the centrifuge. This increases personnel flexibility in customer’s production, and the reliability of the production processes also improves: the system only displays what the user needs, so the error potential declines automatically. On the contrary, GEA IO is able to offer much more than today`s control units – tailored to customer’s needs. This means, that a wide range of functionalities is now available in a much more intuitive manner.

Control, display and evaluate GEA IO has been designed as intuitive as possible. Displays have been consistently streamlined, the symbols are self-explanatory, and the color code is based on international standards, either traffic signal colors for statuses or the standard which is used in plant design for identifying pipework. “IO is able not only to control and display, it is also able to evaluate by reliable interpretation of the data. With GEA IO customers are able to see how efficient the centrifuge is running in relation to energy consumption, performance or separation efficiency”, explained Rob-

GEA experts are thus able to access the centrifuges so that they are ready to be deployed again as quickly as possible.

“With GEA IO, the entire potential of our centrifuges can be fully utilized: Simple, intuitive, reliable and user-friendly”, Robert Zeldenrust added.

Support throughout the entire life cycle of a plant and equipment Excellent equipment or plants are one thing, the right service is another. With several options of the new service concept “GEA Service – For your continued success” GEA supports customers throughout the entire life cycle of their installed systems and components: From project engineering, installation, and commissioning to maintaining and improving the performance of the customer’s plant and equipment.

The service level options of GEA Per-

formancePlus, for example, extend way beyond routine preventive maintenance and complement customer digitalization efforts. By combining modern condition monitoring technologies with industry expertise, GEA provides its customers monitoring services, comprehensive analysis reports and reliable optimization recommendations. In turn, GEA customers receive valuable information to make business decisions easier and addressing challenges they face to achieve their specific performance-related goals. GEA PerformancePlus creates transparency about the current health status of the equipment, increases its availability, ensures optimum productivity, brings efficiency optimization potential to light and enables a sustainable equipment utilization. GEA PerformancePlus is initially available for GEA separators; on the mid-term it will be extended to other GEA product groups. gea.com

PLANTS FOR THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY

F

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

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

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

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

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

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

VERSATILE FILM RECEIVES SUSTAINABILITY AWARD

T

he food protection and preservation capabilities of XHance film from RPC bpi protec have been acknowledged in a major sustainability awards programme.

X-Hance has been named the winner in the Cutting Food Waste category of the Packaging Europe Sustainability Awards, which celebrate innovation and creativity that make significant environmental advances across the supply chain.

X-Hance is a 100 per cent opaque but still breathable film. This eliminates light rays in order to protect products, preserve their freshness and quality, and deliver extended shelf life. Equally important the high-impact film can

be printed in up to 10 colours to enhance brand image and deliver effective point-of-sale promotion.

The film performs well and consistently on VFFS packing machines, with excellent seal strength integrity. Additional perforations can be included to improve air flow within the pack, without affecting the aesthetics or performance of the packaging.

X-Hance has already been adopted by a leading retailer for its potato ranges, preventing the green discolouration that occurs when potatoes are subjected to too much light. This is the main reason why an estimated 730,000 tonnes (5.8 million individual potatoes) are thrown away by households each year.

“We are delighted to receive this significant environmental accolade,” comments Andrew Green, Deputy CEO, RPC bpi group.

“X-Hance offers a number of key benefits for food retail markets, ensuring product is well protected and preserved throughout the supply chain while at the same time providing the high quality decoration that creates a premium image on–shelf.”

SIAPI, CUSTOMIZED HIGH FLEXIBLE BLOW MOLDING SOLUTIONS

S

IAPI has worked for over twenty-five years on the design, production and marketing of top quality two-stage linear Blow Molding Machines for all applications, becoming an international player in providing solutions for the PET packaging industry. Customized applications driven by utmost flexibility have made this company one of the most competitive on today’s market.

With over 850 installations in the world, SIAPI is acknowledged as a provider of opportunities and solutions to get competitive advantage on the market, especially thanks to technological and process innovation. As for the reinforced presence on foreign markets, SIAPI has been achieving excellent results, which spur toward constant product and service improvement.

Only using linear stretch-blow molding technology, SIAPI machines are able to produce the widest range of PET containers. For over 15 years SIAPI has especially been working on large and extra-large applications: targeted segments are water bottles and coolers from 1 US gallon to 20 litres capacity, and stackable containers for edible oil, detergents, chemical and industrial products. SIAPI 1 to 5 cavity machines for high-capacity containers (also up to 30 litres) can reach productions ranging from 400 to 5000 bph. A useful modern solution is a 25-litre – square container that can be stacked in four layers – made by SIAPI to re-

place HDPE fuel containers with PET, thereby reducing their weight of 50% with big advantage for the customer in terms of logistics and transport.

The beer market also recognizes SIAPI as best technology for producing PET KEGs up to 40 litres, leading the conversion from stainless steel to 100% recyclable plastic containers.

Thanks to a long experience in the market and constant R&D effort, today SIAPI is able to provide turnkey lines for this specific application. SIAPI’s research is focused not only on producing high-quality PET KEGs: thanks to the collaboration of experienced partners, the company is working on valves and fittings development, shelf-life improvements and transport options in order to offer full service for this growing market. This type of application is having success also among the wine sector, giving the opportunity, even to small producers, to export their product all over the world.

Besides SIAPI developed special SW series for Wide-mouth containers: SW1 and SW2 models manage preforms up to 180 mm of neck diameter blowing

jars suitable for a broad range of products, such as sauces, paint, cosmetics, toys, powder and pet food. By anticipating new trends as to meet all customers’ requirements, SIAPI designed and recently supplied a new special platform named WRN – Wide Range Neck – which allows standard series machines to manage narrow neck and wide-mouth containers during heating and stretch-blowing process. This project is an example of SIAPI’s approach with unconventional customer demands: flexibility is a key factor of its experienced team and technology.

It is also worth saying that the company pays much attention not only to special containers (oval, square and asymmetric bottles): its blowing machines for standard bottles are equipped of 1 to 10 blowing cavities, achieving maximum productivity of 15,000 bph. As independent entity SIAPI is a unique example of constant presence and innovation through the last twenty years, leading the development of two-stage linear technology for PET projects. Today major accounts, whether converters or large food & beverage brands, address SIAPI R&D for their new PET applications due to customized, high flexible blow molding machines. www.siapi.it

odern packaging solutions not only offer outstanding product protection; they also impress consumers with their exceptional convenience. Composite films with xtear perforation by Südpack Verpackungen GmbH & Co. KG make it a breeze to open the packaging – without the need for a knife or scissors. The new technology even simplifies the packaging process for food manufacturers: xtear film is compatible with all conventional packaging machines.

For senior citizens or children who need a simple way to open packaging, or for commuters who want to enjoy a quick snack in the car or on the train – more consumers are looking for food products with easy-to-open packaging. Attractive opening solutions thus have a distinct advantage at the point of sale and stand out from the competition. Südpack, a leading supplier of practical resealable packaging and opening aids, recently added the xtear tear-off perforation solution to its portfolio. This high-quality opening option does not require the use of tools.

A practical tear-off perforation, xtear allows consumers to open packaging effortlessly. It also reduces the risk of scattering the contents by opening the packaging too roughly: The packaging can be torn open in a controlled way along the perforation.

This enables consumers to easily portion their snacks. Südpack Managing Partner Johannes Remmele explains: “xtear is a practical opening solution for a variety of products and packaging types. Along with mini sausages,

cheese sticks and other snack products, the laser perforation is also suitable for pourable products. Thanks to xtear, the product can be dispensed in precise amounts.” Since the introduction of xtear, Südpack has carried out a number of projects with customers, including an easy-to-open tubular bag packaging for Goldsteig mozzarella, and a multiple-chamber tray with chambers that can easily be separated along the perforation.

Easy processing on standard packaging machines The laser perforation also makes life easier for food manufacturers. Film that has been enhanced with xtear can be processed on standard packaging machines without additional equipment. This keeps production processes lean, and avoids further investments for Südpack customers. Südpack film specialists support customers in the design, implementation and optimization of laser perforations. Application technicians test sample films on the customers’ equipment on-site.

Laser processing as an additional finishing option from Südpack Südpack technicians use an in-house laser system to perforate film for easy opening, targeted gas exchange, or for valves and other additional features.

“We see the laser process as a finishing option of the future, one that will become widely established in the coming years,” says Johannes Remmele.

“Our in-house laser equipment enables us to offer customers a wide range of finishing options to attract attention to their products on the supermarket shelf and to convince consumers using the product.”

The laser system processes film lengthwise or crosswise in the direction of movement or applies laser contours to the film.

For laser processing, Südpack uses composite film consisting of a sealing layer and a substrate. The film’s substrate is removed precisely, the barrier layer remains fully intact.

TECNOPOOL, THE BEST CHOICE

T

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

69 TECNOPOOL - FP 4-17.indd 3

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.

Your everyday work is tough enough

Understanding the market’s needs is the most important part of creating the perfect product.

T

he first step to achieve this is to recognize the threats and demands of the industry. Food processing workplace is a very specific one - constant necessity of quality control, contact with sharp and dangerous tools, food parts and liquids is the everyday struggle of the people working in food processing environment. And yet, the last but not least component - time. Every producer strives to combine these elements in order to achieve the high quality product manufactured in the shortest period of time possible.

Everyone who struggles with this challenges sooner or later realizes that the final score depends on every component of the process - it is highly important to use only the tools which were created especially for this kind of jobs.

That’s what OHAUS company takes for its first priority - creating the tools that will help their customers become the leaders in their class. When asked about the company’s main foundations in creating new products, Zbigniew Pobocha, General Manager, says:“For more than 100 years OHAUS is trying to make people’s job easier.

The first question that we ask ourselves while creating a new product is, who is going to use them. Then we gather information about those people line of work. Creating the scale for Food Processing Industry is one of the most difficult tasks. We have to think about every possible situation that can threaten our scales’ operability. But in the end it’s really satisfying to create something that will make Customers work faster and easier - their everyday job is tough enough and they should not have to worry about damaging

their scale simply by spilling the liquid on it. I trust that after all the years we have finally succeeded - our Customers are highly satisfied with our new Valor 2000 and 4000 scales, created especially for food processing jobs.”

OHAUS latest proposal for food industry jobs are Valor 2000 and 4000 Compact Bench Scales, certified and highly resistant. Looking at their features it is clearly visible that they are the perfect tool for the food processing.

The designers of the scales have considered the need of Valor’s 2000 and 4000 resistance to the sharp objects, commonly used in the food processing activities - the scales are equipped with polycarbonate knife proof keypad. It prevents damage from knifes, repealing stains, moisture, corrosive fluids and food contaminants.

The scales’ Flow Thru Design protects the scales from fluids and condensation that may form inside the scale from constant temperature changes

in typical food processing environments. The Valor 2000 and 4000 scales are NSF Certified and have OIML/EC Type Approval.

All those combined features make the Valor Compact Scales safe, fast and highly durable. Designed especially to endure in the harsh food processing jobs, they are certainly the right tool for the toughest jobs. www.ohaus.com OHAUS manufactures an extensive line of high-precision electronic and mechanical balances and scales that meet the demands of virtually any weighing need.

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

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.

Established in 1995, Lycored is based in Israel, with sales and production operations in the UK, Switzerland, the US, Ukraine and China. www.lycored.com

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

LEVEL REGULATION WITHOUT BLEMISH SMART LEVEL SENSORS IN CHOCOLATE PARADISE

C

apacitive sensors are a fine thing in and of themselves: They can detect levels of liquids, powders and granular materials through non-metallic container walls without the sensor coming into contact with the media. However, conventional capacitive sensors also have a number of disadvantages. The sensitivity of the sensor must be adjusted in a time-consuming process so that the signal is triggered not by the container itself, but by the container wall together with the medium. And if you ever try to accurately detect the level of chocolate, ketchup, etc. using a conventional capacitive sensor, you will discover that these media do not drain without leaving residue, and deposits regularly lead to sensing errors, which make error-free measurement impossible.

This challenge was faced also by Gysi, the renowned chocolate manufacturer in Switzerland, when seeking to equip the agitators of various tempering machines for heat treatment of chocolate when retrofitting new sensors for level regulation. The previous level detection system based on measuring the pressure difference was getting up in years and repeatedly had to be checked and cleaned at regular intervals, which incurred considerable effort and downtime. Therefore Gysi looked for a new solution.

First attempts with a builtin sensor from the machine manufacturer, however, did not look promising because the ap-

plication could not be left unattended.

Then a Balluff sensor with smart level technology was chosen finding an error free solution.

Smart level sensors operate at an oscillator frequency significantly higher than conventional capacitive sensors.

In addition, the patented electronic processor unit gathers more information than is usually the case with capacitive level measurement. It evaluates not only the capacitance, but also the conductivity value of the medium.

Since compact media have high, thin films of the same medium, but only low conductivity values, the new sensors have no trouble distinguishing between thin deposits and the real level. This means that sensing errors with media that do not drain without leaving residue, such as chocolate,

are largely prevented. Gysi now has 6 machines retrofitted with the new sensors and there are already plans to retrofit additional systems. The sensor in the container wall detects the level of the chocolate directly through the end face of the plastic sleeve in the container wall. If the chocolate falls below a certain fill level, the sensor triggers and after 30 seconds liquid chocolate is refilled until the optimum fill level is reached.

Unlike conventional capacitive sensors, these fill-level indicators do not have to be readjusted, neither during operation, nor when changing the recipe. Thus the switch point between white and dark chocolate, for example, differs by only three millimeters. www.balluff.com

Flat Tubular Heaters Boost Efficiency for Fryer Technology

By Roly Juliano Watlow

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

F

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

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

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

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

far better than round heaters. An innovation was born.

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

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

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

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

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

industrial electronics

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

99 WATLOW - FP 3-16.indd 4

10/06/16 12:45

AUTOMATIONCOMPONENTS

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

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

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

industrial electronics

without increasing the sheath temperature.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Introduction UK food manufacturing faces the perfect storm driven by flat lining productivity, question marks over labour availability and the introduction of the national living wage. As a result, the industry is set for a robot revolution.

Purpose OAL are reimagining the food manufacturing line by placing robots at the heart of food processing.

APRIL offers the opportunity to automate both the handling of raw materials and processing together. Simon Lushey, Specialist Food Technical Manager at Marks & Spencer explains more:

Lights Out Manufacturing At the start of the robotic batch manufacturing process, a works order will be fully digitised from its source which could be a digital works order from an ERP system (Enterprise Resource Planning) or a paper works order. The digitally formatted works order will then trigger a series of technological scheduling and manufacturing actions. This approach has the benefit of being able to check and optimise the processes required for every unique "production occasion" and ultimately has the potential for products being “lights out” manufactured.

Such advanced processes will form part of the “Farm to Fork” supply chain as products physically and digitally cross industry sectors. In short; utilising “We are excited by the thinking involved principles from Industry 4.0, the order will first be simulated, running a vast number in the APRIL robotic chef approach. of production scenarios before settling on Modular robotics cells may transform food manufacturing kitchens, by breaking the best option for that specific point in time; ultimately optimising and enabling up processes in a different way, “right-first-time” manufacturing. providing a step change in performance.

The trigger for their introduction will be the ability to improve taste, consistency, Product Consistency quality and value of consumer products.” Traditional soup, sauce and other liquidbased product manufacturing typically use large fixed cooking kettles (500 to 3000kg) OAL have modelled a number of requiring pumped and manual handling applications based on 24 years of transfer systems for moving ingredients processing and controls experience, and finished product from process to process. Consequently, this leads to including very close work with major prolonged manufacturing times, variable chilled and ambient soup and sauce product quality, much waste and high businesses. These specific applications will be developed via research work with energy usage. specialists in robotics, engineering and The APRIL system will incorporate a semifood processing systems at the National autonomous system that combines state Centre for Food Manufacturing. of the art cooking and materials handling Expected Results Based upon preliminary modelling, the expected development path of APRIL systems will offer:

*Based on the analysis work of an existing plant.

technologies with automated robotic ingredient loading, currently using vessels between 50kg and 750kg. The integrated system has been developed to produce higher quality food with unprecedented flexibility, and offer increased process consistently at a faster rate. This will greatly reduce ingredient wastage and energy costs while taking up to 80% less factory space*. The system will be further developed and tested in the dedicated "Robotics & Automation" food processing hall at the University of Lincoln’s National Centre for Food Manufacturing, Holbeach, Lincolnshire.

Extended Shelf Life Using APRIL to process food has the potential to be more hygienic than "traditional" methods enhancing food quality and freshness. The lack of human interaction with products and APRIL’s consistent, predictable and accurate execution of tasks will help reduce "contamination incidents", and related product recalls (e.g. due to undeclared allergens or accidental addition of foreign bodies to the product because of operator error).

As APRIL can work autonomously, manufacturers can place the system in a sterilised area and / or an optimised atmosphere selected to extend the shelf life of products and reduce food waste.

Method The University of Lincoln are supporting OAL’s robotics and automation developments following successful collaboration on previous Innovate UK calls.

How To Explain APRIL Imagine you’re at home with two saucepans and a frying pan. You can freely move, add ingredients and process to your desired recipe. This, in essence, is the flexibility APRIL gives food manufacturers to on an industrial scale; move a cooking vessel from one processing / ingredient station (heat, mix, etc.) to another.

ducing threaded fasteners and eliminating lamination points between surfaces to minimize areas where water can be trapped and bacteria can grow.

Improved water/product containment is the result of a higher infeed frame plate with an added deflection flange to help shed water off the plate, sloped deflectors on both sides and a deflector flange on the discharge shear.

These four new flanges reduce fasteners and laminations where microbes can grow while moving drip points to within the envelope of the equipment.

This makes it easier for processors to mount a drain pan under the system and better captures water and product spillage to minimize spillage to the floor, improving sanitation and worker safety.

New top and side bearing/sprocket covers and chain guards are made of punch plate material that enables visual inspection of the bearings, drive sprockets, wear strips and chain without removing the covers or guards, which eases maintenance.

The idle side cover hinges down without removal of the top cover to further ease maintenance. Top surfaces are sloped to reduce product buildup and shed water.

The covers and guards enhance sanitation by enabling the areas behind them to be cleaned with a high pressure washdown without removing the covers and guards. Solid top covers are available as an option.

A new motor mount features a drip pan below the gearbox with integrated standoffs. The single square tube support is positioned at a 45° angle to shed product and water.

Mounting fasteners are reduced and blind back standoffs are used to further reduce threads and laminations.

An updated spray bar system, available as an option, eliminates U-bolts and bracket mounting laminations.

The new brackets, which support both the infeed and side spray bars, utilize blind back standoffs and enable the top bearing/sprocket cover to be removed while the spray bars remain in place to enhance sanitation and ease maintenance.

Key redesigned the optional CE cover, which used to be mounted using side plate retainer bolts and had to be removed before the top bearing/ sprocket covers could be removed.

The new CE cover is mounted to the spray bar brackets, allowing the top bearing/sprocket covers and side plates to be removed without removing the CE cover, which eases maintenance.

Key Technology (NASDAQ: KTEC) is a global leader in the design and manufacture of process automation systems including digital sorters, conveyors, and processing equipment. Applying processing knowledge and application expertise, Key helps customers in the food processing and other industries improve quality, increase yield, and reduce cost.

Key offers customer demonstration and testing services at five locations including Walla Walla, Beusichem, and Hasselt as well as Sacramento, California, USA and Melbourne, Australia; and maintains a sales and service office in Santiago de Queretaro, Mexico.

An optional CE bearing cover protects workers from an exposed shaft end and features perforations for visual inspection of the shaft/bearing and easy cleaning. A new standard bearing/shaft guard exceeds OSHA standards to improve worker safety.

Standard Rotary Sizing and Grading Systems that are adjusted manually now feature a hard stop mechanism that prevents an operator from overtightening the adjustment blocks while closing the gap between the rolls, which prevents the blocks from being damaged.

The optional Auto Adjust has also been improved with the addition of electronic limit switches for fullopen and full-closed positions and a mechanical fail safe detent clutch to prevent blocks from being damaged.

The new design is 100 percent metric, with metric fasteners, bearings, shafts and sprockets. This simplifies maintenance since the crew now needs only one tool set. Key will continue to support its installed base with imperial dimensioned rolls and components.

All sanitation and maintenance enhancements are available on every new Rotary Sizing and Grading System, which includes Key’s Sliver Sizer Remover (SSR), Precision Size Grader (PSG) and Rotary Size Grader (RSG). Featuring on-the-fly tuning, no pinch points, self-cleaning stainless steel rollers, sealed corrosion resistant bearings for low maintenance and easy cleaning for quick product changeover, these systems help food processors enhance product quality while reducing maintenance and improving sanitation.

EFFICIENT END-TO-END SOLUTION FOR DOSING MEMBRANES

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AUTOMATIONCOMPONENTS

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

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

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

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

This guarantees outstanding product quality and long useful lives.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SWOP 2017: NEW CONFECTIONERY PROCESSING AND PACKAGING EQUIPMENT ZONE WITH INTERNATIONAL HIGH CALIBER EXHIBITORS

A

t swop 2017, Nov. 7-10 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC), a large number of internationally advanced and innovative processing and packaging products for the confectionery and bakery sectors will be showcased.

Several leading European confectionery processing and packaging machinery manufacturers have registered for the exhibition with the

goal of supplying Chinese and Asian dessert industries with advanced products and high quality services – among them the German exhibitors Theegarten-Pactec, Chocotech, Winkler+Dünnebier, Hänsel Processing, LoeschPack and Hansa Mixer.

Data also show, that China’s candy and chocolate market has an annual average growth rate, which is nearly 6% higher than that of the global candy & chocolate market, presenting a consumption potential of as high as approx. EUR 2.55 billion.

According to statistics, the total output value of China’s candies and chocolates from Jan-Oct 2016 reached approx. EUR 7.6 billion, with a cumulative growth rate of 17.64%.

In Switzerland, the annual chocolate consumption per capita is 10kg, while only 40-70g in China. This means, that China will become the world’s largest chocolate market as

SWOP 2017: NEUER BEREICH FÜR DIE VERARBEITUNG UND VERPACKUNG VON SÜSSUND BACKWAREN MIT HOCHKARÄTIGEN INTERNATIONALEN AUSSTELLERN

A

uf der swop präsentieren vom 7. – 10. November 2017 im Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) zahlreiche international arrivierte und innovative Anbieter von Verarbeitungs- und Verpackungslösungen für die Süß- und Backwarenbranche.

Darunter verschiedene führende europäische Hersteller mit dem Ziel, den chinesischen und asiatischen Markt mit modernen und hochwer-

tigen Produkten zu beliefern. Dazu gehören auch die deutschen Aussteller Theegarten-Pactec, Chocotech, Winkler+Dünnebier, Hänsel Processing, LoeschPack und Hansa Mixer.

Laut Statistik erreichte die Gesamtproduktion von Süßwaren und Schokolade in China von Januar bis Oktober 2016 etwa. 7,6 Mrd Euro mit einer kumulierten Wachstumsrate von 17,64 Prozent. Die Daten zeigen auch, dass der chinesische Markt für Süßwaren und Schokola-

de eine durchschnittliche jährliche Wachstumsrate aufweist, die fast sechs Prozent über der des globalen Süßwarenmarktes liegt, mit einem potentiellen Konsum von rund 2,55 Mrd. Euro. In der Schweiz liegt der jährliche Pro-Kopf-Verbrauch von Schokolade bei 10kg, in China dagegen bei nur 40-70g. Das bedeutet, dass China dann zum weltgrößten Markt für Schokolade wird, sobald der jährliche Pro-Kopf-Verbrauch 1kg erreicht. China ist somit der Markt

soon as its annual consumption per capita reaches 1kg. Therefore, China has become the chocolate market with the highest development potential and has drawn the attention of all the main chocolate brands in the world.

Mondelez has recently announced its decision to officially introduce a new chocolate brand into China, becoming another foreign enterprise entering the mainland Chinese market following Mars, Ferrero, Nestle and Hershey.

China’s confectionery manufacturers on the other hand are not as competitive compared to international brands in terms of taste, and packaging. For example COFCO, the largest food manufacturing company in China, has announced its decision to sell the chocolate brand Leconte last year.

mit dem höchsten Entwicklungspotential für Schokolade und hat damit die Aufmerksamkeit aller wichtigen Schokoladenmarken der Welt auf sich gezogen.

Der Lebensmittelkonzern Mondelez gab erst kürzlich die Entscheidung bekannt, offiziell eine neue Schokoladenmarke in China einzuführen, und wird damit zu einem weiteren ausländischen Unternehmen, das nach Mars, Ferrero, Nestle und Hershey auf dem chinesischen Festland Fuß fasst.

Die chinesischen Süßwarenhersteller sind nicht so wettbewerbsfähig wie die internationalen Marken in puncto Geschmack und Verpackung.

COFCO zum Beispiel, der größte Lebensmittelhersteller in China, gab letztes Jahr den Verkauf der Schokoladenmarke „Leconte“ bekannt.

Dazu sagte Zhu Danpeng, der in der Forschung für die chinesische Le-

Zhu Danpeng, a researcher in the Chinese food & beverage industry, said Leconte used to rank among the top ten chocolate brands in China, and the announcement of the sale showed that the company was no longer among the ten mainstream chocolate brands in China.

Moreover, other domestic chocolate brands have stayed completely out of the mainstream market.

packages, new designs and so forth, in order to enhance market competitiveness.

When selecting packaging materials for confectionery including candies and chocolates, the value of advanced processing and packaging technology along with modern production lines cannot be underestimated.

According to research, the inferior position of domestic chocolate brands can mainly be attributed to a lack of investment in production, R&D, processing, manufacturing, packaging, design, marketing and promotion.

At swop 2017, visitors can learn more about these innovative products. In addition, famous candy & chocolate manufacturers such as Ferrero, Hershey, Callebaut, UHA, Meiji, GLICO, Lindt, Hsu Fu Chi, Oishi etc. have been pre-registered to visit swop 2017.

Chinese confectionery enterprises must focus on cultivating their brands, by introducing advanced technology and equipment, strengthening innovation while developing new flavors, new functions, new processes, new

Bei der Auswahl von Packmitteln für Süßwaren einschließlich Schokolade ist die Bedeutung moderner Verarbeitungsund Verpackungstechnik im Verbund mit modernen Produktionslinien nicht zu unterschätzen. Auf der swop 2017 können Besucher mehr zu diesen innovativen Produkten erfahren.

Zudem haben sich bereits renommierte Süßwaren- und Schokoladenhersteller wie Ferrero, Hershey, Callebaut, UHA, Meiji, GLICO, Lindt, Hsu Fu Chi oder Oishi zum Besuch der swop 2017 angemeldet.

Den Untersuchungen zufolge lässt sich die untergeordnete Rolle der nationalen Schokoladenmarken hauptsächlich auf fehlende Investitionen in Produktion, Forschung und Entwicklung, Verarbeitung, Herstellung, Verpackung, Design, Marketing und Werbung zurückführen. Die chinesischen Süßwarenhersteller müssen ihre Marken daher gezielt durch die Einführung moderner Technik und Anlagen stärken sowie durch mehr Innovationen wie der Entwicklung
