ROBOPAC ANTICIPATES THE FUTURE: GENESIS THUNDER AT DRINKTEC 2017

Aureli family uses the German fair to launch its company’s latest development in its automatic wrapping machine with rotating ring technology

R

obopac will be pre-empting the future when it showcases Genesis Thunder – the new high-speed, automatic wrapping machine featuring a rotating ring – at drinktec 2017 (Munich, 11 to 15th September). Continuing its mission to renew and optimise all its machine models, the family-run company is launching a new generation of high-performance ring machines for wrapping and stabilising loads

on pallets using stretch film employing Cube Technology™, the state-of-the-art solution adopted by Robopac for its topend products.

Robopac’s Cube Technology™ ensures the right amount of film is provided in the most effective position, applying also the right force to ensure the product is properly secured; this triple combination means consumable costs are appreci-

ably reduced, quality wrapping improves significantly, and damage to palletised loads during transport lessens.

Robopac goes green: the obvious advantages offered for the environment include not only less use of materials and therefore a lower impact on the environment, but also fewer products damaged during handling and transportation (due to perfect load stabilisation), continued on page 20

Hot melt – cold glue equipment components The area where the company has been founded is one of the most competitive in labelling machines’ sector. CRM specializes in production of components for cold glue and hot melt labelling machines, automatic only. Its staff, specializing in CAD 3D/ CAM design and CNC3-4-5 axes, can produce in home any kind of product at an absolutely competitive price in comparison with the market average.

Feedscrews Over the years, the company has specialized in design and production of screws, useful to meet customers’ requirements, such as: divide, unite, select and rotate any kind of product of any size and shape (bottles, phials, bricks or tanks). Screws are useful to divert the course of products in the lines, handle packing, create double packs outgoing the screw by rotation or separation, thus directing the product upon customer’s specific requirements. As regards the material used in screw production, CRM can process both plastic and complex materials such as stainless steel. CRM production is not limited by the materials to be used, for it can produce a wide range of spirals for screws that feature thickness, diam-

eter, length, size and different material upon request.

Twists The company has recently extended its production also to ancillary products for bottling lines, such as: Tilters and Twists. These items can be applied to the line so as to overturn products such as jars and cans that need marking on the bottom or inspection. Thanks to new technologies, CRM Engineering can get a twist in one single product.

These pieces of equipment enable easy and quick inspection and marking, can be easily applied to belts and grant remarkable dependability in time.

which means fewer goods are rejected and returned to the sender by the largescale retailers or individual customers, reducing activities which involve considerable costs on both a financial and environmental level.

Genesis Thunder originates from development activities focussing on Robopac’s earlier high-performance ring wrapping machines and it maintains some of their more unique features.

For example, it features no sliding electrical contacts, which means it is suitable for all industrial environments (even those exposed to high levels of dust and powder) and also guarantees safety and less machine downtime.

Robopac has been working on the design and patents for this technological solution since the mid-1990s, as its success in the world’s markets has led to continuous upgrades over time.

Take, for instance, the power supply system for the motorised prestretch units, which initially exploited the dynamo principle and then went on to introduce the patented supercapacitor system, based on the KERS (kinetic energy recovery system) used

20

in Formula 1 cars; this super battery recovers energy during use, then injects this power back into the circuit, making the machine completely independent.

During braking or when the units are idling, the motor charges up the battery to provide the power needed when the machine is running.

The Robopac evolution is never-ending.

The goal is to leap into the future, to forecast what all our partners will be needing in the coming years so that we will be able to supply machines that offer ever-better performance, combined with increased reliability and safety. With this would come palletised products with greater stability for end customers, in line with the expectations and needs of industrial production and logistics plants, of both today and tomorrow.

In addition to curbing use of packaging material, Genesis Thunder also considerably cuts down the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), mainly due to the high quality, low-wear components featured, such as more efficient motors and the use of toothed belts instead of chains, which offer a long, maintenance-free working life. This obviously lengthens the intervals (in terms of operating time) before work is needed on the machine and means that parts are replaced according to a reliable schedule. Improved machine accessibility means maintenance is much easier. Ergonomics is another aspect on which the company has focussed noticeably. Serviceable parts are within the operator’s reach as they can be accessed without using platforms or lifting equipment. Total ergonomics also means avoiding having personnel working in high (and therefore potentially dangerous) positions - in keeping with the Robopac philosophy of Safety First.

In terms of construction, the ring is supported by four legs and the centre of gravity is aligned with respect to the lift axis, providing the Genesis Thunder with a simplified, balanced power distribution system, which means the structure is subject to less stress and less wear.

With the same rpm rate, the excellent structural balance guaranteed by the specific design, together with the innovative construction materials used, have led to further improvements in cycle times and therefore a greater production capacity, which is higher than any other machine currently available on the market.

In line with hygienic design principles, the machine is specially devised to cut down build-ups of the dust and dirt usually found in industrial settings. While indisputably an indispensable advantage for companies operating in the food or pharmaceuticals industries, it is also a much sought-after feature which is appreciated by all modern companies. Furthermore, following on from the earlier Helix EVO models, Genesis Thunder is also designed for the application of the TPM philosophy, envisaging simplified and preventive maintenance, which is nowadays commonplace in all industrial environments where the line staff are minimal.

The Genesis Thunder presented at drinktec 2017 will also feature the ARC automatic reel changer system, a patented motorised unit which changes the wrapping reel automatically, without the operator’s intervention, expelling the empty cardboard core and positioning the new reel; it will also feature the Roping Device, which is designed to reduce the strip of film to a sort of rope, making it stronger and more elastic at the same time, and allows more effective load stabilisation; last of all, the system will include the innovative Nip/Tuck Tail System for seamless end-of-cycle sealing. This low-maintenance system, featuring no smoke emission, guarantees a perfect finish at the end of the wrapping cycle, which will stand up to any automatic storage system. www.robopac.com

FBF ITALIA’S QUALITY IN THE WORLD

FBF Italia’s machines are suitable to process a lot of products and can be inserted into complete process/production, both in sanitary and aseptic design

F

BF Italia has designed and manufactured since 1987, high pressure homogenizers, positive displacement pumps, laboratory homogenizers and, thanks to the wide experience gained in this field, is now a key point-of-reference for plants manufacturers, suppliers of turn-key equipment and end-users in the food, chemical and pharmaceutical sectors.

On-going innovation, exacting experimentation of special materials, strict quality controls and endurance tests allow FBF Italia to guarantee maximum performance, durability, reliability and safety; its mission is to offer to all its customers not only excellent sales services but also continuous relationship with constant, direct post-sales technical assistance; the target is to keep friendly relationship built on mutual evolution and innovation.

FBF Italia’s machines are suitable to process a lot of products and can be inserted into complete process/production, both in sanitary and aseptic design.

The main utilization fields of the company machineries are: • dairy industries (milk, cream, cheese, yoghurt, caseinates, proteins, soya milk, etc.); • ice-cream industries; • food, processing, preserving and beverage industries (fruit juices, tomato sauces, oil, ketchup, eggs, vegetable greases, emulsions, concentrates, baby food, etc.); • cosmetic, pharmaceutical, chemical and petrol-chemical industries (starch, cellulose, wax, colorants,

22

beauty creams, toothpaste, detergents, disinfectants, emulsions, inks, latex, lotions, emulsifiers oils, pigments, proteins, resins, vitamins, etc.).

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

The product reaches the homogenizing valve at a low speed and at high pressure. As it passes through the valve, it is subject to various forces that cause the micronization of the particles: violent acceleration followed by immediate deceleration causes cavitation with explosion of

the globules, intense turbulence together with high-frequency vibrations, impact deriving from the laminar passage between the homogenizing valve surfaces and consequent collision with impact ring.

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

FBF Italia’s range of machines can be commonly classified as follows: High pressure homogenizers Positive displacement pumps Laboratory homogenizers Positive displacement pumps for product containing particles. www.fbfitalia.it

EFFICIENT END-TO-END SOLUTION FOR DOSING MEMBRANES

L

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.

SPECIAL

DRINK - BEVERAGES - JUICES - LIQUID - WINE - LIQUOR - BEER TECHNOLOGY - PROCESSING - PACKAGING - BOTTLING - AUTOMATION

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-

30

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.

Antares Vision is not only one of the leading companies in the world in the development of Track & Trace systems, but it is the only one that manages the tracking of the entire production chain by integrating logistics warehouse management, and authenticated controls for the consumers”.

tenkarte auch im Hinblick auf die gesteigerten Anforderungen des Lebensmittels- und Getränkesektors in Sachen Rückverfolgbarkeit und Sicherheit darstellt. „Bis heute sind unsere Track&Trace-Systeme vor allem bei der Serialisierung in der Pharmaindustrie zum Einsatz gekommen, auch in Anbetracht der nationalen Vorschriften, die in verschiedenen Ländern derartige Systeme zwingend fordern,“ erklärt Paolo Gilberti, Geschäftsentwicklungsleiter der Abteilung Industrielle Kamerasysteme von Antares Vision. „Doch diese Anforderungen werden auch in der Getränkeindustrie im-

mer vordringlicher. Auch wenn die Serialisierung der einzelnen Artikel heute noch nicht gesetzlich vorgeschrieben ist, glauben wir, dass die Getränkeindustrie sich allmählich auf die Anwendung der Standardregeln zur Produktverfolgung einstellen wird. Antares Vision ist nicht nur eines der weltweit führenden Unternehmen bei der Entwicklung von Track&Trace-Systemen, sondern es ist auch das einzige, das die Verfolgung der gesamten Produktionskette anbietet, und zwar unter Einbeziehung des Warenlager-Logistikmanagements sowie verifizierter Kontrollen für den Verbraucher.“ „Was

existence of industry specialists”, comments the manager. “We are positive that the beverage industry’s reception to Track and Trace systems will greatly increase, especially because they allow the individual tracking of any defective or contaminated product and a quick withdrawal from the market, avoiding to lose entire batches”.

All printing and control functions can be included in compact “standalone” units, or in integrated kits on board existing machines which allows considerable space savings on packaging lines.

Solution for labelling machines Another cutting-edge technology in the field of vision controls for food and beverage is the inspection of labels. “Labelling is a critical stage in primary and secondary packaging, not only for the information that labels provide and for traceability, but also for exquisitely aesthetic aspects”, states Gilberti.

“Antares Vision has developed solutions designed specifically for the labelling industry dedicated to food packaging”. The ALC system, Antares Label Check is able to check die Möglichkeiten zur Verfolgbarkeit von Produkten betrifft, wenden sich heute viele Hersteller noch an generische Softwarehäuser oder versuchen, die entsprechende Software betriebsintern zu entwickeln, oft ohne über das erforderliche Fachwissen zu verfügen und ohne in Betracht zu ziehen, dass die Industrie dafür ihre Spezialisten hat,“ kommentiert der Manager. „Wir sind davon überzeugt, dass die Track&Trace-Systeme auch in der Getränkeindustrie immer stärker Fuß fassen werden, vor allem, weil sie die individuelle Rückverfolgung eines defekten oder kontaminierten Produkts ermöglichen, das dann schnell vom Markt genommen werden kann, ohne ganze Lose verlieren zu müssen.“ Alle Druck- und Kontrollfunktionen können in kompakten unabhängigen Einheiten enthalten sein oder aber in Bausätzen, die in bereits bestehende Maschinen installiert werden, wodurch eine beträchtliche Platzersparnis in den Verpackungsstraßen gegeben ist.

The BOS system instead relies on a single camera which, focusing on bensmittel- und Getränkeindustrie ist die Inspektion von Etiketten. „Das Etikettieren ist ein kritischer Moment sowohl bei der primären als auch bei der sekundären Verpackung, und zwar nicht nur aufgrund der Informationen, welche das Etikett enthält, und der damit verbundenen Rückverfolgbarkeit, sondern auch unter einem rein ästhetischen Gesichtspunkt,“ stellt Herr Gilberti fest. „Antares Vision hat diesbezüglich Lösungen für die Industrie zum Etikettieren von Lebensmittelpackungen entwickelt.“ Das ALC-System (Antares Label Check = Antares Etiketten-Kontrolle) ist in der Lage, auf einer Verpackungsstraße die vorschriftsmäßige Positionierung und die Abmessungen von Etiketten zu kontrollieren. Ein weiteres innovatives - und patentiertes - System ist das BOS (Bottle Orientation System = Flaschenausrichtsystem), welches die Flaschen in der Etikettierphase ausrichtet. Das Ziel besteht darin, den ständig komplexer werdenden Anforderungen, die auch in der Flaschenindustrie zu verzeichnen sind, zu entsprechen. „Die Entwicklung neuer Marketing- und Verbrauchsmuster hat zu einem vermehrten Einsatz von Flaschen aus PET

und Glas geführt, die besondere Formen haben bzw. in welche die Logos eingraviert oder eingeprägt sind, was besonders bei Produkten mit limitierter Herstellung der Fall ist,“ erklärt der Manager. „Auf dem Markt gibt es schon Etikettiermaschinen für Spezialflaschen, die aber hohe Investierungen und lange Rüstzeiten erfordern, die bei kleinen Losen oder für Dritthersteller nicht gerechtfertigt sind.“ Das BOS-System stützt sich dagegen auf eine einzige Kamera, die auf die Flasche gerichtet ist und den Punkt ausmacht, an dem das Etikett zu positionieren ist, wobei diese Werte dann der Etikettiermaschine mitgeteilt werden, so dass sie die Flaschen entsprechend der korrekten Winkel bewegen kann. Ein besonderer Vorteil dieses Systems ist seine Anpassungsfähigkeit, und zwar nicht nur an die verschiedenen Formen der Behälter, sondern auch an die Materialien, aus denen diese hergestellt sind. Die Höchstleistungs-Version kann auf Maschinen eingesetzt werden, deren Produktion bis zu 70.000 Flaschen/ Stunde erreicht. www.antaresvision.com

DRY LUBRICATION, THE INNOVATIVE AND WINNING SOLUTION OF AEB Dry lubrication in food & beverage industry and its advantages

T

he evolution of the dry lubrication in the bottling industry was launched by AEB at the end of 2007 when we presented Sintodry and has been optimized during the following years by the creation of an automatic system of distribution. This kind of distribution device is a real innovation that has revolutionized what existed on the market. Dry lubrication is based on formulations which are ready to use, that is with no dilution in water, and supplied automatically on the belts, with specific equipment and suitable spraying stations, for short time – from 5” to 15” with a time interval

that may reach 4-5 hours between one delivery and the other.

This system, called Dry-System, enables a product saving of about

70-80% and this means a saving of more than 50% from the economic point of view.

The advantages obtained with the utili-

D

ie Entwicklung der Trockenschmierung im Abfüllbereich wurde von AEB Ende 2007 mit der Präsentation von Sintodry begonnen und in den folgenden Jahren mit der Entwicklung eines automatischen Verteilungssystems optimiert. Diese Art von Verteilergerät ist eine echte Innovation und hat die im Markt vorhandene Technik revolutioniert.

Trockenschmierung basiert auf gebrauchsfertigen Mischungen, die nicht mit Wasser verdünnt werden und mittels von speziellen Geräten und angepassten

Sprühstationen direkt auf die Förderbänder aufgebracht werden, mit Sprühintervallen von 5-15 Sekunden und 4-5 Stunden zwischen zwei Produktzuführungen Dieses Dry-System genannte System ermöglicht Produkteinsparungen von 7080% und bedeutet eine wirtschaftliche Einsparung von mehr als 50%.

Die Vorteile des Einsatzes solcher Mischungen sind: • Sehr geringer Produktverbrauch im Vergleich zu Schmiersystemen mit herkömmlichen, auf Fettsäuren, Aminosäuren und Silikon basierenden Mitteln.

• Kein Wasserverbrauch • Beträchtliche Verringerung von Abfällen und durch die Schmierung entstandenen Stoffen, die nur schwer in den Abwasserkreislauf abgelassen werden können.

• Keinerlei Schaum auf den Förderbändern und somit auch nicht auf dem Boden, dadurch eine Verbesserung der Produktionsräume • Keine Rutschgefahr für Mitarbeiter und somit eine Verringerung der Unfallgefahr durch Schmiermittellösungen auf den Böden.

zation of this kind of formulations are: - very low product consumption if compared to the lubrication systems with traditional products based on fatty acids, amines and silicon; - no water consumption; - convincing decrease of waste material and of substances – produced by the lubrication - difficult to be discharged run into depuration plants; - total absence of foam on the belts and hence on the underlying floor, with an improvement of production rooms; - no danger that operators can slide, hence a reduction in the possible accidents caused by the lubricant solution on the floors.

Dry lubricants and the properties of Sintodry The silicon-based formulation for the “dry” utilization proposed by AEB is Sintodry, a liquid lubricant for

Trockenschmierung und die Eigenschaften von Sintodry Die silikonbasierte Mischung für die “trockene” Anwendung von AEB heißt Sintodry und ist ein flüssiges Schmiermittel für Transportbänder von Plastikbehältern (PET) und Verbundkartonbehältern (TETRA Typus) für flüssige Produkte, Glasbehälter und Dosen, für den ausschließlichen Gebrauch mit Kunststofftransportbändern in der Nahrungsmittel-, Kosmetik- und Pharmaziebranche. Die Konzentration ist gebrauchsfertig.

Verständlicherweise kann der Aspekt der Schmierung in Bezug auf Effektivität und Leistungsfähigkeit einer Abfüllanlage nicht unabhängig von anderen Faktoren wie Aufbau der Linie, Standort innerhalb der Produktionsanlage und Leistungsfähigkeit der Anlage gesehen werden.

Unter Berücksichtigung dieser allgemeinen Bedingungen ist es klar, dass die Wahl des Schmiermittels und des passenden Verteilersystems Gegenstand der fol-

conveyor belts for the transport of plastic (PET) and poly-coupled carton (TETRA type) containers for liquid products, glass and cans, to be exclusively used for plastic conveyor belts in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical sector. The usage concentration as it is. It is clear that the only lubrication aspect, in terms of effectiveness and performance, represents for a bottling plant an element not to be set aside from other factors such as the line structure, their arrangement inside the production area and the effectiveness of the equipment. Considering these general concepts, it is clear that the choice of a lubricant and of its proper supply system will necessarily be subject to some considerations, in particular, the factors to be considered are: - the technical-applicative aspect intended in its wider context (belt speed, supply modality, friction coefficient, container weight, kind of water, etc.);

- the guarantee that the container is not directly (composition material) nor indirectly (serigraphy, label, production data, etc.) at-tacked; - the ecological-environmental aspect intended in the wider sense of observance of the functionality of depuration plants; - the safety aspect for operators present in production areas; - the economic aspect.

The lubricant compatibility with composition materials (conveyor belts and containers) represents of course the first argument to face. It is useless to choose a formulation if it does not grant that it does not attack surfaces, independently from all other factors that may be considered afterwards.

In order to value the “compatibility” between lubricant and container, trials are carried out on the different materials (glass, PET, PVC, paper/ poly-coupled, tinned plate) and also

- der Umweltaspekt im weiteren Sinne der Beachtung der Funktionsfähigkeit der Kläranlagen - der Sicherheitsaspekt für die Mitarbeiter im Produktionsbereich - der Kostenaspekt

aller anderen zu berücksichtigenden Aspekte.

Die Kompatibilität des Schmiermittels mit den verwendeten Materialien (Förderbänder und Behälter) ist natürlich zuerst zu betrachten. Es macht keinen Sinn eine Mischung zu verwenden, wenn die Oberflächen angegriffen werden, unabhängig

Zur Bewertung der “Kompatibilität” zwischen Schmiermittel und Behälter werden Versuche mit verschiedenen Materialien (Glas, PET, PVC, Papier/Verbund, verzinnte Platten) und zu Auswirkungen auf Bedruckung, Tinte etc. durchgeführt.

Weitere Bewertungen werden zur Optimierung des Schmiermittels in Hinblick auf die verschiedenen entsprechend gemessenen Reibungswerte vorgenommen.

Die Daten werden in den verschiedenen Bereichen der Förderbänder, Voll- oder Leergut, Drängelzonen, Produktionsstop bei laufenden Bändern, Zonen mit besonderer Reibung, Bänder verwendet mit verschiedenen Verpackungsgrössen ermittelt.

Alle so gesammelten Informationen tragen zur Ermittlung von Sprühintervallen, Anzahl der Sprühstationen und Art der Sprühköpfe bei.

the impact towards serigraphy, inks, etc. Other evaluations are carried out when the lubricant is optimized, with the survey of the different friction values, suitably measured.

The survey is carried out in the different parts of the conveyor belts, empty or full containers – accumulation areas – production stop with belts moving – areas with a particular friction – belts utilized for packaging in different sizes.

All the gathered information will contribute to define the supply/non supply times, the number of spraying station and the kind of supply heads.

CRYOGENIC FREEZING: AIR LIQUIDE PRESENTS CRYO CABINET

C

ryogenic refrigeration processes play a fundamental role in food production and preservation, guaranteeing the product’s shelf-life, maintaining the product organoleptic quality as well as its hygienic preservation.

Thanks to a long experience in the field of freezing, Air Liquide – world leader in gases, technologies and services for Industry – developed the solution NEXELIA for Freezing and Chilling, which combines: gas from the ALIGALTM line, complying with food industry processing standards, including HACCP; cryogenic equipment (cryo cabinet, cryo tunnel, cryo immersion unit) and technical and specialistic assistance to companies of freezing processes and food chilling sectors.

During TUTTO FOOD, the international fair of food and beverage which took place in Milan last May, Air Liquide officially presented CRYO CABINET, a cryogenic freezing cabinet made of fully welded stainless steel, designed in conformity with the most recent guidelines published by the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG) and by the United Stated Department of Agriculture (USDA).

CRYO CABINET can be used in any discontinuous process that needs flexibility and requires either to crust freeze, freeze or chill any food product (meat, poultry, fish and seafood, ready-to-eat meals, ice-cream, fruits and vegetables, etc...). CRYO CABINET is capable of working using liquid nitrogen or liquid CO2 and can be easily integrated into any production line. It is provided with two stainless steel fans, which guarantee an opti-

42

mal transfer of the frigories, increasing the efficiency of the cryogenic fluid and a uniform freezing.

The range of cryogenic machines offered by Air Liquide also includes the CRYO TUNNEL ZF3 and the CRYO IMMERSION UNIT ZFV. CRYO TUNNEL ZF3 is a stainless steel cryogenic tunnel which can be readily integrated into any food production line. Its versatility allows crust freezing, freezing and chilling efficiently any type of food, using liquid nitrogen or CO2, improving the quality of the products.

ZF3 is available in 4 freezing zone lengths and 2 belt widths in order to meet the specific productivity, space and installation requirements of the food processor.

CRYO IMMERSION UNIT CFV is a patented vibrating cryogenic freezer, used to crust freeze or to freeze quickly single small products by dipping them in a liquid nitrogen bath. CFV is the most compact immersion freezer available on the market, which fits

into the smallest areas. Cryogenic freezing processes allow freezing food very quickly, obtaining small ice crystals which prevent cell-walls from breaking, guaranteeing the best preservation of the flavour and final appearance of the product.

The advantages of cryogenic freezing also include a wide flexibility since the freezing process occurs quickly (3-4 times quicker than mechanical freezing), and a wide range of temperatures (from -60°C to -110°C), which make the process easily adaptable to different kinds of food products. https://industria.airliquide.it

COMAC, KEGGING & BOTTLING PLANT

A

t Drinktec 2017, in Munich from September 11th to 15th Comac, world-leader company in the production of kegging, bottling and canning plants, will display at its STAND HALL B4, BOOTH 306 four new machines.

For three of them, the occasion will be a worldwide premiere: the Monoblock 32/20/6 for glass bottles, the Monoblock 28/4 for cans and the Microleaks detection system.

Moreover, the Monoblock 14/2 for cans will also be introduced.

Monoblock 32/20/6 for glass bottles and 28/4 for cans are the first ones of the new Comac full electronic monoblock family, at the top of the production range.

Monoblock 32/20/6 for glass is equipped with electronic filling valves, while monoblock 28/4 for cans is equipped with electronic and volumetric filling valves. Both types of valves guarantee the best performance in terms of filling speed, level and quality parameters (oxygen pick up as first).

tially reducing the complexity and cost of the systems.

The brand new monoblocks have some features in common: - They are totally “gear free”, both for rotation and height adjustment: everything is moved by means of servo motors electronically synchronized.

- The motors include a lot of interesting features such as electronic clutches (based on the torque real time measuring), safe limited speed in jog mode, safe “freeze” position for the starwheels changeover etc.

In the monoblock 32/20/6, the filling level in bottles is determined by means of an electronic probe and this is an important innovation because the probe is movable inside the valve – The probe is inserted in the bottle just during filling, in this way, if the bottle explodes during pressurization, the probe will not be damaged.

- The electric consumption is reduced by over 50% compared to traditional monoblocks.

Both types of valves do not require a bottle lifting cylinder, thus substan-

As far as the 28/4 monoblock is concerned, the seamer is set in a

44

complete new “totally open” version, which simplifies the cleaning procedures while electronically synchronized with the filler as well.

The monoblock 14/2 for cans is part of the Comac electro-pneumatic monoblock family and is equipped with the latest generation of the electro-pneumatic filling valves. These valves guarantee a fast, smooth filling with high accuracy in the final level, with a reduced consumption of CO2.

The filling valves are compact and light, driven by a dedicated PLC and the customer can easily create and save dedicated recipes for his products, without limits for the filling cycles.

These valves guarantee a fast, smooth filling with high accuracy in the final level and a reduced consumption of CO2.

SPECIAL

DRINK - BEVERAGES - JUICES - LIQUID - WINE - LIQUOR - BEER TECHNOLOGY - PROCESSING - PACKAGING - BOTTLING - AUTOMATION

The filling carousel height adjustment is automatic - It goes directly to the desired height and stops in position automatically.

The seamer, even if it is a small unit, is equipped with all the devices of the big machines such as the bubble breaker and the CO2 injection starwheel.

The monoblock is executed in “plug&play” version, meaning it is delivered ready to be connected to the customer utilities and started, so it’s the perfect solution for craft breweries, because of its small dimensions and high production output.

The Brand new Comac micro-leakage detection machine has been conceived to detect any micro-leakage of CO2 from a pressurized keg. At present, the technologies that are implemented allow to detect CO2 leakages via viewing systems or systems that monitor the differential pressure.

The patented technology COMAC has introduced, in cooperation with FT System company, offers higher precision and sensitivity compared to the means previously described. Moreover, the machine is capable to handle

all types of kegs, in stainless steel or plastic, with all fittings.

With its modular architecture, the machine can be supplied and/or em-

bedded in a pre-existing line. In both cases, the machine is equipped with its own PLC and a system for data, statistics and trend management, easily accessible by the final customer. As for all COMAC machines, this as well can be provided with remote assistance.

Comac team will be pleased to welcome all visitors of Drinktec fair, keeping in mind the key concepts of its long experience: Total Quality and Customer Satisfaction. www.comacitalia.it www.comacgroup.com

PERFECT COMBINATION OF TECHNOLOGICAL EVOLUTION AND RESPECT OF THE ENVIRONMENT

T

wo highly different products with a common denominator: perfect combination of technological evolution and respect of the environment.

ENOPLASTIC presents its latest two pieces of innovation: two highly different products with a common denominator: their perfect combination of technological evolution with respect of the environment.

DERMA: material standing as an alternative to traditional polylaminated for caps making; GREENLEAF: safety caps that stands out as the eco-friendly evolution of traditional screw caps 30x60.

Unquestionably, DERMA is the best solution to improve technical features of caps and reduce environmental footprint. After all testing on the material before its being processed, ENO-

PLASTIC has tested it in the bottling plants of some customers. It used DERMA to produce customer’s usual caps, while maintaining their own features such as height, conic shape, and customized design. The result has then exceeded expectations the caps produced with DERMA evidenced better “adherence” to the bottle neck than the same caps but made in traditional polylaminated, and thickness tolerance has been slightly reduced thanks the innovative production processes.

GREENLEAF safety caps have been created as the alternative to traditional screw cap 30x60, perfect for a market increasingly com-

46

mitted to reducing its environmental footprint and always looking for possibilities of customization and decoration. The production of GREENLEAF caps has cut aluminium requirements by 64% than for traditional screw caps 30x60, and in general materials are reduced by 47%. In addition to this, glass recycle is simpler, and space for handling and logistics is reduced by more than one third, meaning that 160 boxes are needed to handle and store 200,000 traditional screw caps, whereas just 47 are enough in case of GREENLEAF caps. It will also be possible to customized GREENLEAF at dramatically reduced costs in comparison with traditional screw caps 30x60.

GAI, LEADER MANUFACTURER IN BOTTLING MACHINES FIELD

G

AI company, founded in 1946 by Giacomo GAI, is leader manufacturer in bottling machines field. Worth-known product is the “monobloc”, enabling the whole production process in just two machines, one for the phases from rinsing to capping, and the other one for the labelling.

The target sectors are the ones referred to wine, oil, distillates and, increasingly, BEER. ln 2013 it was developed an electropneumatic valve that is revolutionizing once again the way of bottling. This patented valve (doc. n° TO2012A000869) can work both sparkling products and still ones up to 20.000 bottles/hour.

After 4 years since it appeared on the market, it’s well confirmed that results are really well-established .

This valve allows to work from zero to 8 bar of pressure with a level adjustment from 25 to 100mm from the top of the mouth. Filling level is highly precise and the oxidation degree is minimal.

All working parameters are set on the control board, consequently it is possible to easily move from one product to another one in a very short time.

The valve is easy and safe to sterilize thanks to the dummy bottle (patented) with automatic positioning.

The double line with low closure brings to great advantages both for the filling precision and for the degassing, as it totally avoids the perturbation due to the degassing of the product in the return gas line. The productivity gain on sparkling products is really relevant.

This year GAI will take advantage of the international showcase of 27th SIMEI taking place inside DRINKTEC in München, to present preview some really relevant innovations.

Furthermore, it will be proposed some solutions for the cleaning (CIP), as well as it will be presented the last innovations developed in the last 2 years, during which GAI R&D has put into effect the great technological research in which it was economically and in passion invested.

Furthermore it will presented the new defective bottle testing machine, aiming to reduce downtimes in production, because of breakages of faulty bottles; this product will surely meet the interest of the most forward-looking operators.

A GOOD EYE FOR CONTRASTS AND COLORS KTS AND KTX CONTRAST SENSORS FROM SICK

W

ith its KTS and KTX product families, SICK is presenting new, powerful contrast sensors from a forward-looking, innovative platform. The patented TwinEye technology for improved contrast detection and sensing distance tolerance (+- 5 mm), the specially developed three-color LED with its high-precision, color-mixed light spot, and the jitter that has been minimized to a level never before seen, coupled with absolute high-speed switching frequencies, open up a world of new possibilities when it comes to detecting contrasts and – for the first time in a sensor – colors too. IO-Link and additional integrated functions such as recipe management ensure maximum versatility, while the innovative, multifunctional 7-segment display guarantees simple yet customized sensor setup, operation, and visualization. Familiar applications such as the detection of print marks or the control of industrial labeling processes benefit from even greater process stability and performance. The sensors detect high-gloss

materials and complex contrasts, even on heavily jittering materials. The integrated color mode also enables reliable detection of even the most minor contrast differences and color features.

More applications, more flexibility The KTX product family offers compatibility without compromise: Both the hole pattern for mounting the sensors and the electrical connectivity facilitate a 1:1 migration from the SICK product families that are already proven and widespread on the market to the new technology platform. In its spacesaving compact housing, the KTS meets all requirements of modern machine con-

cepts. The KTS contrast sensors come in “CORE” and “PRIME” configurations; these offer different levels of functionality, enabling a variety of different automation needs to be met individually and cost-effectively.

The even more finely granular grayscale resolution of the KTS and KTX, the integrated color mode, and the large number of other technical innovations in both product families are setting a new standard in the market for contrast sensor technology – and opening up additional areas of application at the same time, such as the detection of wafers, the management of reel changes, or quality control.

SEALED AIR WINS INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION WITH A FOOD CATEGORY WORLDSTAR

S

ealed Air Corporation (NYSE:SEE) beat competition from around the world by winning a coveted WorldStar for their innovative packaging product Cryovac® Darfresh® on Tray. Organised by the World Packaging Organisation (WPO), the WorldStar Competition recognises advanced packaging design and technology and is renowned as the preeminent international award in packaging held every year. For the 2017 competition, there were 292 packaging projects entered from 35 different countries.

Cryovac Darfresh on Tray won a WorldStar in the Food category. This success is followed by another win in the Czech Republic’s Obal Roku 2016 awards, where Cryovac® Darfresh® packaging system won in the Food and Save Food categories. The Czech wins were based on Sealed Air’s long-standing partnership with meat and sausage processor Kostelecke Uzeniny, where the system led to extended product shelf life and outstanding product merchandising for the processor. After winning a national competition for Cryovac Darfresh system, Darfresh on Tray was eligible for judging in the international WorldStar Competition. “Winning a WorldStar is a

real achievement.

The competition attracts innovative entries from across the globe and is judged by leading experts,” said Jonathon Durnford, EMEA vice president of food packaging at Sealed Air Food Care “This year, 74 products were submitted in the Food Category, with each entry already having won acclaim in national or regional competitions. Darfresh on Tray’s success is testament to the outstanding performance of its unique second skin.”

The Darfresh on Tray vacuum packaging system is designed to carefully wrap around every contour of a fresh meat product. This creates the second skin, which is highly abuse resistant and hermetically sealed to enhance food safety, quality and freshness.

“Judging in the WorldStar awards focuses on whether a product delivers superior performance in its category and in the market. Darfresh on Tray delivers against this criteria as it can almost double shelf life compared to some other packaging formats, while also delivering significant efficiencies, added Durnford.

This innovative solution can make packaging processes up to 35 percent faster, reduce material usage by 40 percent and cut packaging volumes by up to 50 percent. Cube optimisation means that more food products can be transported per square metre, helping minimise the number of vehicles in the supply chain and improving sustainability. Darfresh on Tray will formally receive its WorldStar 2017 at a gala dinner in May of next year. This follows judging that took place on Nov. 17, 2016 in Vienna, Austria.

“Darfresh on Tray helps processors and retailers to optimise packaging performance, reduce costs, lower carbon emissions and build brands. It is an honour to see these benefits recognised by leading professionals from the global packaging industry, concluded Durnford.”

CHILLED NFC JUICES: THE BERTUZZI APPROACH

T

he market of fruit juice is developing quite rapidly and the share of NFC juices is considerably increasing because of their high quality. In Europe and the US (but also in whole world) 100% juice (not from concentrate) category is showing a strong growth potential. Of particular importance, in this sector, are the chilled juice, fruit juices that are prepared directly from the fresh fruit and then are just chilled and filled or slightly pasteurized and chilled in order to retain all organolectic characteristics. The majority of the chilled juice found in the shops shelfs is based on orange but other varieties like pineapple, grapefruit, carrots as well as blends (orange-carrot, orange-pineapple, carrot-lemon-pineapple etc.) are becoming more and more popular.

The main hints for the design of a plant processing fresh fruit into chilled juices are: • Optimization of flow of fruit/juice • Optimization of characteristics of process equipment • Optimization of processing cycles in order: 1. Decrease processing times 2. Minimize oxidation of the juice 3. Keep high organolectic characteristics • Optimize CIP system to control the microbiology of the juice.

Some of the machines used for the application are dedicated for a certain type of fruit, for istance: • Dedicated citrus juice extractors (orange, lemons, grapefruit), on order to minimize the essential oil content in the juice and assure a good control of the pulp.

• Deshellers and dedicated presses for pomegranate to produce cloudy

54

or clear juice which importance is considerably increasing for the beneficial health characteristics.

• Dedicated pineapple juicing in order to obtain high quality juice only from the edible part of the fruit without contamination with the peel.

These are some examples but few.

Extractors for juice/puree can be provided for apples, carrots, pears, passion fruit, banana, beets, mango, spinach, asparagus, berries, hawthorns guava. The obtained juice is immediately (blended or not) slightly pasteurized (65-70°C) and chilled before filling.

All these examples of equipment have been designed, built and put in operation by Bertuzzi Food Processing Srl, an Italian Company that operates in this field since 1936 and that supplies plants and machines to process fruit and vegetables to produce juice, concentrates, baby food, jam, readymade drinks etc…

BERTUZZI FOOD PROCESSING Srl, founded in 1936, is one of the major world players in the design and supply of machines and complete plants to transform any type of vegetable and fruit into juices, concentrates, baby food, jams, ready-made drinks etc.

BERTUZZI FOOD PROCESSING Srl, fondée en 1936, est l'un des principaux acteurs mondiaux dans la conception et la fourniture de machines et d'installations complètes pour la transformation de tout type de végétales et de fruits en jus, concentrés, aliments pour bébé, confitures, boissons prêtes à l'emploi, etc.

NO SUGAR? NO PROBLEM!

O

ne of the largest and most open discussions surrounding the beverage industry in 2017, the Sugar Tax is becoming a major game changer in the world of Carbonated Soft Drinks (CSDs). Brands are feeling enormous pressure from consumers and government bodies to become more health conscious, resulting in a switch from traditional sugars to artificial sweeteners. A simple change in recipe is proving to be more problematic than anticipated, causing beverage companies to overcome challenges from bottling right up to consumer satisfaction.

A CSD is typically made up of syrup and carbonated water. During the bottling process, the combination of the two produces foam on the surface of the drink. The problem arises when the sugar is swapped out for substitutes such as aspartame, sucralose and stevia. These products are characteristically less soluble in carbonated liquid, thus resulting in a greater production of foam in the bottling process. Unfortunately, this has created havoc in the bottling industry as the over-production of foam is causing lines to slow down, ultimately reducing output and productivity.

Thankfully, a revolutionary product has entered the carbonated bottling industry, aimed at counteracting excess foam production in artificially sweetened CSDs. The product, named Sustain®, is designed to be used as a processing aid in the manufacturing of carbonated beverages.

This unique, non-silicone derived processing aid has been developed to allow manufacturers and brands to increase profit through more efficient filling, whilst also optimizing the consumers’ overall product experience.

Jonathan Stott, business manager of Sustain®, said: “Sustain® allows drinks makers to maintain the taste and flavour of the drink while reducing the amount of excess foaming during the bottling process. As the demand for low-sugar drinks is on the rise, Sustain® can assist your brand in meeting consumer needs whilst maintaining line efficiency”.

Sustain® can help to increase filling speeds by up to 25%, leading to better and more consistent filling, increased

70

productivity and fewer rejects. Jonathon explains: “Our customers have reported up to 50% faster start-up times. This can be accredited to the fact that the foam caused at filling is now under control”. Simply put, Sustain® can reduce brand costs in bottling of the drink and therefore increase profitability.

CSDs are well and truly entering into the realm of health consciousness, and brands are feeling the pressure to constantly reformulate and conform to regulatory as well as consumer demands. Sustain® therefore comes as a welcomed aid to the soft drink industry, giving CSD manufacturers some much needed good news.

Through its exclusive benefits, Sustain® can increase productivity and reduce production costs whilst enhancing consumer enjoyment, which cannot be achieved with any alternatives on the market. www.sustainco2.com For more information about Sustain®, please contact Jonathan Stott, on +44 (0) 7880 035289 or via email at jonathan.stott@stephensongroup.co.uk

NOBERASCO, DRIED FRUIT AND WELLNESS

S

preading the culture of eating well, the dried fruit consumption connected to the concept of wellness, organic as a pillar of growth: Noberasco – since 1908, being a leader in the field of dried and dehydrated fruit– it has shaped its offer according to major trends in the fields of food and good living.

This virtuous and well-aimed strategic choice has guaranteed the Ligurian company a significant growth, which also involved a considerable investment for a new headquarters that is already operational in Carcare, in the province of Savona. While production has already successfully started, the office building will be completed by late summer 2016.

Davide Cammi, manager of Noberasco plant, explains the characteristics of the plant and anticipates the outlook and expansion plans of the company.

Why this investiment?

“With regard to the previous plant, we had reached the maximum evolution possible. The area did not allow us to grow further. Instead, our need was to propose ourselves even abroad and have a plant up to that.

We are very proud of what we did: this company is characterized by a strong presence of the family business, now in its fourth generation, and we thinks to grow this reality further through every street and channel. In this perspective, we made a considerable investment, amounting to about 40 million Euro.”

Has the removal been complex?

“In the most difficult year for removing the full production plant – 2015 – we bit the bullet and reached a record result, namely a turnover of about 110 million euro (+20%). We thought to reach this level at the

82

end of next year. We are very happy with the start-up of the plant: they are moments to remember, because moving an entire plant is not simple.

The current plant was built with completely new logics and systems and was operative in just three months. It was really incredible, there was a flat area here two years ago”.

Is the upward trend going on?

“We are happy because the growth is continuing. Demands from abroad are growing and it is a pride for us.

We are also present in all exhibitions and meeting and discussion events.

This constant growth invites us to do better. From 2012 to 2015, we also increased our staff by 30%”.

Why did you choose to look beyond the borders?

“In Italy, the market is ripe now and the growth potential in terms of volume are limited. We need to find new markets, starting from Europe, and then to get the certificates in order to export to the USA, where we are

already arranging an expansion plan.

Outside Italy, competitors increase and the market is much more advanced: just look at a dried fruit shelf at a supermarket in England. A great challenge, a great opportunity for us.”.

Does the growth strategy involve marketing as well?

“Of course. We want to create new consumption times, launch our wellness line, also with single-serve packages; our SuperFruits – an innovative fruit line, berries and seeds, selected all over the world, with special nutritional properties – were elected product of the year 2015 by consumers for the dried fruit category, based on a market research conducted by Iri and promoted by Marketing & Innovazione Italia. Clearly, there is a research upstream: we did not stop to plums and apricots, our core business. Today, the on-the-go concept is fashionable, namely the functional food that is good, a super food with many nutritional properties. We are planning other evolu-

SPECIAL

leled – beginning from the promptness and friendliness of the answer, at any time, up to being able to solve any problem within 24 hours”.

Are you also focusing on singlebrand shops?

“Yes, we will develop Noberasco shops, platforms to launch products that meet what is dear to the family: the visibility of the brand. We would like that our shops were the symbol of the dried fruit culture at the highest levels.

tions and further diversifications: our range will increase more. It is a very particular rising field. A few years ago, it was not very well-known, but now it is different, also thanks to the web and the social media. We have many strings to our bow”.

How much is the raw material important?

“It’s definitely one of our strengths, also thanks to the memorable work by Noberasco family, which built strong relationships even 40-50 years long.

The time of purchase of the raw materials is very important: we travel hundreds of thousands of kilometers in order to follow the entire chain, which we have diversified over the years.

Just an example: we introduced the seasonal adjustment of the walnuts, selecting good suppliers in the northern and southern hemispheres, in order to have a fresh product all year round with different varieties.”

What are the special features of the new plant?

“We have a new cooking line and two packaging lines, the dry line that produces mixed packs, we are targeting a lot at, with exact percentages of product to the milligram. However, the Carcare project is constantly

growing: we are also expecting new expansions and implementations.

The future is smiling at us”.

At the product level, what is your principal plus?

“The absence of preservatives, which is unique in our industry, thanks to a direct product pasteurization and hot filling packaging, which allows us to obtain a shelf-life of the product similar to the products with preservatives. A winning solution we studied at our plant”.

Is innovation a key word for you?

“We are a company that innovates a lot; we always confront and negotiate between us”.

Your technology partners include Magnoni, among others, the company from Modena that specializes in the planning and production of high-performance tailored handling systems.

“We are pleased with this collaboration. We immediately had a direct and fruitful dialogue, interfacing in a positive way and finding the appropriate solutions on all technical issues related to handling the new plant. Magnoni has been able to provide important answers also in relation to after-sales service – where it is really unparal-

MARZOLA, A LEADING MANUFACTURER OF WINE MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT FOR WINERIES

N

owadays, it is hard to find companies that have been active for more than 160 years, the result of constant renovation, with the purpose of catering to the current needs of the market, thanks to the know-how acquired from the experience of over a century and a half in operation.

Marzola specializes in the design, manufacturing and maintenance of machinery and equipment for wineries. The company was established in 1851 and has helped the wine-producing sector grow ever since by adding value and supporting wineries, promoting and collaborating in the technological development and innovation of some of the most important wineries in the world.

We offer a full range of equipment and systems for all wine production processes, from the supply of top-performing, cutting-edge grape reception and pressing machinery to the preparation of engineering projects. We offer global solutions that are fully adapted to each wine-making campaign. We specialize in providing tailor-made solutions for each project.

Robust, reliable and powerful technology.

Over a century and a half operating in the sector is proof of the company’s strength and of the trust of winery professionals in our products and services. We have been present during this time, learning and growing every day, committed to the improvement of quality and innovation, with the purpose of providing a response to the needs of the wine-producing sector. According to our commitment to delivering a quality service and global solutions to the wine production processes, we are constantly growing, in accordance with our international expansion strategy.

Our goal is to cater to the characteristics of each region, offering solutions to the cellars on the five continents, promoting

and collaborating with them in our commitment to their innovation and technological development.

Two of our flagship products are the Basket Press, designed according to the traditional processes followed to press grapes, which then ferment to produce premium wines, and the Progressive Draining Press (PDP), applying a technology that prevents mass from returning into the containers during the pressing operations.

PREMIUM WINES, THANKS TO MARZOLA’S VERTICAL PRESS SYSTEMS The pressed wine extracted from vertical press systems is known for having a premium quality when compared to the wine produced with all other pressing processes.

Vertical press systems require additional workers and the pressing yield compared to other systems is much lower, but the result is a much higher quality of the wines produced.

In ancient times, vertical pressing systems were mainly used to press the red grape pomace fermenting in the fermentation barrels. Nowadays, fresh white grapes can also be pressed.

Vertical presses are designed with many different dimensions, according to the pressing volume and their pressing programs. Achieving the perfect balance between all of these parameters is vital (diameter and height of the tank, transport around the winery, ergonomics, appearance, pressing program flexibility), as required to cater to the needs of any production process. Marzola has achieved this by offering the perfect pressing machinery to wineries, which can handle and process the quality of its harvests.

The main benefits of Marzola’s vertical press system are: • Absence of pumping procedures, as required to transport grapes to the press: The vat or container can be moved the tank or reception equipment with the use of gravity loading systems, which ensure that the grape is not subject to pressure, as in the case of pumping systems used to transport grapes.

• Pressing without the movement of mass: The grape is not turned over and/or shredded during the pressing cycle, so the grape juice comes out clearer than in other processes.

• Filtering the wine obtained directly

a maximum pressure, which can be programmed and adjusted. The continuousprocessing systems allows the winery to produce grape juice of different qualities.

from the grape, producing a clearer and cleaner grape juice.

• Pressing programs developed as a result of years of experience in the sector and tailor-made for vertical press systems, achieving the highest yield and quality of the grape juice.

• Absence of pressed pomace extraction elements: The tray with the pressed grapes is transported to the pomace area of the winery, with no need to use other machinery, such as conveyor belts, auger conveyors or redlers that take up space inside the winery facilities. Therefore, the facility is aesthetically pleasing and clean, clearing up space and producing an area that can be shown to and enjoyed by customers.

Marzola offers its customers the possibility of installing a modem for establishing the online connection between Marzola and the winery for the remote maintenance of the machines, modification of programs, fault control, etc., with no need for Marzola’s technicians to visit the winery facilities.

The winery can record all operating parameters such as the pressing parameters, times, pressures, etc., which can then be stored and analyzed internally, connecting the press with its computer systems.

require machines that can process a high volume of grapes with continuousprocessing systems to speed up the reception of the harvested grapes at the winery.

The traditional press is known as the “rack-and-frame press”, which was responsible for pressing grapes, but it had many limitations and problems.

• Iron elements in contact with the grape, requiring Epoxy finishes to protect them against rust, which added undesired elements to the grape juice.

• Clover-shaped screw conveyors and anti-return elements to prevent the mass from returning to the reception chamber. These elements had a destructive and negative impact on the process.

• Steel Screw Conveyor, sitting on the pressing vat. The friction on this support not only crushed and mashed the grapes, but there was also a progressive wear, which introduced some elements into the wine and reduced the yield and efficacy of the pressing systems, due to the increased clearance space between the Rotor (Screw conveyor) and Stator (Vat).

• High operating pressures, generally with no control over the pressure adjustment, obtaining wines with undesired characteristics.

PRESSING WITH CONTINUOUS-PROCESSING PROGRESSIVE DRAINING PRESSES Wine-producing areas with high production volumes (mainly white grapes)

The Progressive Draining Press (PDP) has managed to change the negative perception about continuous-pressing systems.

It progressively presses the grapes after they are loaded (Zero Pressure), reaching

86

Main characteristics of Marzola’s Progressive Draining Presses: • All elements in contact with grapes are made out of AISI 304 Stainless Steel.

• The screw conveyor (rotor) does not touch the vat (stator), since it is supported on a frame, reducing the wear between elements to the bare minimum thanks to the absence of friction, with a concentric movement between the rotor and stator, and a greater degree of adjustment between both elements to ensure there is no clearance, which translates into a higher process yield.

• Absence of anti-return elements and clover-shaped screw conveyors: With the new screw conveyor design, there is no friction and no mass anti-return elements are installed, achieving higher quality levels and production yields.

• Flexibility and ease of programming of the pressing parameters, achieving the optimum operating pressures and production yields.

• Obtaining grape juice with a quality that is similar to that obtained with pneumatic press systems, but with the added benefit of applying continuous production processes, which prevents interruptions in the operation of the reception assembly.

Marzola also offers its customers a remote maintenance service for its machines, with an online connection between the company and the winery, as in the case of the vertical press. Therefore, the system is computerized and all operating parameters can be recorded and analyzed by the winery, without the need for our technicians to visit the winery’s facilities. Thanks to the know-how acquired during all of these years, Marzola is a leading company in the wine-producing sector, specializing in the manufacturing of machinery adapted to current times, with a constant growth and a firm commitment to expand internationally, with the guarantees and support of the Biele Group.

HEEZ: NEW SOLUTION FOR CONTROLLING AND MANAGING BEVERAGE COOLERS

C

AREL is a world-leading multinational specialising in innovative and high-efficiency control solutions for refrigeration and air-conditioning.

At Drinktec 2017, CAREL will be presenting its completely new solution for the beverage cooler segment: Heez.

Heez guarantees energy efficiency and refrigeration performance that is currently unrivalled, while at the same time providing advanced connectivity, both to smartphones in the field and to the cloud.

Using Heez to develop beverage coolers thus brings benefits for manufacturers, service companies and even the beverage companies themselves.

Efficiency and connectivity The Heez solution stands out for its very high energy efficiency: the main objective is to maximise energy savings and minimise running costs, without however compromising on performance. Indeed, this solution uses a DC rotary inverter compressor with modulating operation to vary cooling capacity based on real-time requirements: maximum efficiency, guaranteeing energy savings of 50% when compared to conventional solu-

tions. The use of natural refrigerants moreover makes the CAREL proposal fully green, which together with reduced energy consumption ensures the overall environmental sustainability of the system.

The rotary DC inverter compressor is a fundamental and innovative component of the Heez proposal and has been exclusively designed based on CAREL specifications by world class compressor manufacturer Qingan, affiliated to AVIC (Aviation Industry Corporation of China) and located in Xi’an Hi-tech Development zone.

Heez also features extended connectivity options, enabling data acquisition and analysis for enhanced management and operation of beverage coolers.

IoT and data analytics make it possible to both adopt digital marketing strategies and improve service, for example by implementing preventive management actions.

Cold beverages, low noise and compact dimensions The DC inverter technology CAREL

98

has adopted on Heez ensures beverage cooler temperature pull-down times that are drastically lower than the market norm, guaranteeing the best conditions for selling the beverages.

Another key factor in the solution is low noise: CAREL’s innovations significantly lower refrigerant circuit noise while attaining higher performance thanks to rotary technology. The drinks are cool and well preserved, and the beverage cooler works silently.

Finally, the solution’s compact dimensions mean more room is available for sale. The technological heart of the beverage cooler’s refrigeration system can be housed in a smaller space, thus increasing the available area for displaying the beverages. www.carel.com

INLINE UV AND NIR FLUORESCENCE INSPECTION OF FOODSTUFFS UNDER NORMAL DAYLIGHT CONDITIONS

F

or inline inspection of food products fluorescence imaging can be of great use due to the fact that many organic contaminants and other defects become visible and fluoresce when excited by wavelengths which range from UV, through visible, to near infrared (NIR).

Our novel Near Infra-Red (NIR) imaging technology is an inline inspection breakthrough that can detect many non-metallic foreign bodies in foodstuffs that are normally completely invisible to x-rays … such as fruit pits, stones, plastics, paper and wood etc.

It even detects foreign bodies that are notoriously difficult to detect

with x-rays, such as thin, low-calcified, chicken bones, bone-fragments and cartilaginous tissue in breast meat, for example.

Moreover, the system works very well when combined to work with conventional x-ray inspection apparatus as a part of a single integrated system.

Such an approach provides excellent sensitivity to those radiolucent materials (such as polymers, woody ligneous tissue, chicken bone fragments and bone-shavings), that conventional x-ray machines and metal detectors combinations often miss.

This detection ability greatly assists the inline detection of faecal contaminants, organic residues, and bacterial biofilms at multispectral fluorescence emission bands.

Further applications include being able to differentiate between wholesome and unwholesome chicken carcasses and to detect defects underneath the skin in apples and other agricultural products.

Currently, there is a need for such devices not just to be able to capture images very quickly and without the use of expensive illumination sources such as lasers - but also to do so under normal background daylight conditions and without the need for darkened rooms (known as “Mixed Light” inspection).

110

We have developed the ML2000, a mixed light florescence inspection system that permits the effective detection of fluorescence. Indeed, performance trials, initial commercial embodiments of this system have detected fluorescent radiation of 20 lux or lower, in the presence of background illumination of over 100,000 lux.

Furthermore, the system comes with software that completely automates the inspection process, hence removing the need for expensive highly-qualified inspectors.

After the automated inspection process is complete, visual photographic records of all inspections, either pass or fail, are permanently stored for compliance and 100% Quality Audit purposes. www.amdelectronic.com

CONSTANT QUALITY FROM THE PALLET TO THE CUP

W

ith the clear objective of further increasing its production capacity, Kimbo has adopted a Comau robotic station for the palletizing of boxes containing various types of coffee packs. Operational flexibility, high performance and reliability are the most appreciated features of the selected solution.

Kimbo, a national and international reference point in the coffee toasting and production sector, has always pursued a mission: spreading Italian coffee all around the world. In other words, this authentically Italian highquality product – which is inspired by the Neapolitan tradition and produced with the most advanced technologies while respecting both people and the environment – is now available to everyone. Kimbo provides an excellent product without compromises, paying great attention to the long and complex journey faced by coffee grains before they can be enjoyed in form of liquid emotions. The production process also includes, at the end of the packaging lines, a delicate phase of industrial palletizing in order to place the heat-sealed packs of coffee in various types of boxes using a 6-axis articulated robot produced by Comau.

“The need to use this robotic station,” explained Johnny Frank Baldoni, manager of the Kimbo plant in Melito di Napoli (Naples), “was dictated by an existing solution whose efficiency no longer complied with the desired requirements. Therefore, we had to redesign this operational phase, and not without issues in terms of space and height limitations. At the same time, the system had to guarantee

112

Kimbo uses a 6-axis articulated Comau robot with satisfaction for the industrial palletizing of boxes containing various types of coffee packs

high flexibility, operational continuity and a low-maintenance impact in the broadest sense, while being easily programmable with an extremely user-friendly interface.”

According to the technical requirements provided by Kimbo, the ideal machine for this type of application was not a standard palletizer, but a Comau articulated robot, the NJ High Payload 110. The choice was driven by the fact that the robot was needed to be integrated inside a previously existing environment, where the verification of the “flatness” and the overall footprint of other components would have resulted in longer installation times or in modifications to the existing layout, even if it was working perfectly.

“A choice that has proven successful,” emphasized Baldoni, “and has satisfied all our production needs in terms of accessibility, reach and ‘frequency/cycle times.” The NJ High Payload 110 6-axis articulated robot provides high levels of dynamics, an

appropriate wrist payload, a horizontal reach just under 3 meters (2,980 mm) and a repeatability of 0.07 mm.

High performance and flexibility work together Taking a look at the Kimbo line in further detail, the Melito di Napoli plant features two separate conveyors that load the robotic station with heat-sealed packs. These packs are stored on pallets that have been previously indexed by lot or treated with other traceability parameters.

“Our production system,” explained Baldoni, “can handle ground coffee, grains or pods, although the line is primarily dedicated to palletizing packs containing 250-gram bags of coffee powder.”

The cycle plan calls for the use of the robot’s pneumatic gripper, which creates a vacuum and collects a certain number of packs depending on the mapping or the stacking requirements for the handling of the current batch. “In this specific case,” continued Baldoni, “the final pallet consists of two overlaid pallets containing the related product.”

It should be noted that an operational problem related to this stratification emerged, as the height of the double layer actually exceeds the maximum reach of the robot. The solution adopted is a mobile platform – calibrated on two different positions placed at different heights – which circumvents the mechanical limit.

A further peculiarity of the Comau solution is the opportunity to pick and place pallets or footboards stored behind the robot with the very same gripper. This allows the company to avoid the use of other equipment or devices such as those known as “separators”. In this case, there is no need to add interlayers (elements providing separation between layers or flaps) but they can

be easily integrated without making major changes to the gripper.

“Palletizing may appear to be simple but the various phases of product handling are both complex and delicate,” concluded Baldoni.

“Coffee contained in packages, cardboard boxes or any other type of containers, even vacuum packs wrapped in transparent film, inevitably suffers the effects of temperature, humidity and pressure variation, in other words, variable environmental conditions which are very different from those which would occur if the handling did not involve a “living product” such as coffee, but other elements which are not subject to these effects.”

The Comau robotic station handles heat-sealed packs that need to be stored on pallets which have been previously indexed by lot or treated with other traceability parameters

Kimbo: the symbol of Italian coffee and Neapolitan espresso for half a century For over 50 years, Kimbo has been one of the protagonists of the national market as the perfect expression of a legendary Italian symbol, the Neapolitan espresso. The selection of raw materials, production control and traceability throughout the supply chain ensure product excellence, while the most selective international certificates testify to the respect of resources and environment. With a total income of 170 million Euros, made possible by the work of 150 employees, the company has an important role in all distribution channels in Italy and abroad, under the brand name “Kimbo Espresso Italiano”. Founded in 1963 by the Rubino brothers, Kimbo has always been growing in success, and this is certainly the result of rigorous loyalty to tradition and quality. This is reflected by the 40,000-square meter plant of Melito di Napoli (Naples), where the constant updating of equipment and production processes guarantees the achievement of high standards in full compliance with environmental policies. Furthermore, since 2009, Kimbo has also reached pioneering results in the sector of integrated logistics, with the Kimbo-Hub (18,000 square meters) located at the freight terminal of Nola (Naples). www.comau.com

Despite limited space (also in height), the Comau solution has proven successful and has satisfied all production needs in terms of accessibility, reach and frequency/ cycle times

CRAFT BEER ITALY 2017: LEADING SPEAKERS IN THE CONFERENCE PROGRAMME • Seminars and workshops are taking shape • Close cooperation with the association Unionbirrai • Ticketshop soon online

C

RAFT BEER ITALY, the new event dedicated to craft beer organized by NürnbergMesse Italia, has at its core the conference.

Professional education and training courses will indeed be the key elements of this two- day event at the Talent Garden Milano Calabiana on 22nd - 23rd November.

Unlike many other Italian events, conceived as festivals, CRAFT BEER ITALY attracts visitors that range from start-ups to established breweries, from homebrewers and beer sommeliers to HoReCa and distributors, who will attend the presentations held by many Italian and international experts, brought together for the very first time.

The conference is carried out under the competent supervision of Doemens and VLB Berlin, two research institutes which promote high-level professional education in the brewing industry. Besides, major Italian and international key accounts will illustrate innovations and trends in the craft brewing industry. The conference programme is being continuously updated and is available on the official website of CRAFT BEER ITALY. With four months to go before the event, many international speakers have already confirmed their participation. A very interesting subject for all breweries is raw materials, which is actually the real foundation to brew craft beer with unique properties. Several sessions of the conference at CRAFT BEER ITALY will deal in detail with all aspects of raw materials thanks to the speeches delivered by Weyermann, Hopsteiner, HVG, Hopfen-Kontor, Lallemand and Fermentis. All ingredients are to be masterfully

116

mixed using the right plants. That’s why visitors can’t miss the speech by CFT at the session on brew rooms and the speech by Pentair on the role of beer membrane filtration in the craft brewing process. The challenge of craft brewing is to infuse uniqueness and quality to every glass of beer: at the sessions on quality assurance we will therefore also deal with the microbiological monitoring in craft breweries with the intervention of the German company Döhler. The association of Italian metal packaging companies ANFIMA will take the floor on the session concerning another important topic, namely filling. CRAFT BEER ITALY will also provide attendees with practical information for starting up a new business with useful tips and recommendations by Doppio Malto Brewing Company.

Thanks to Doemens and VLB Berlin, the HoReCa and distribution companies will learn how to taste, analyse and pour a beer, obviously in VDGLASS glasses, specifically conceived to enhance craft beer properties.

The Italian association Unionbirrai, which has signed a cooperation agreement with NürnbergMesse Italia, will lead to the discovery of the Italian craft beer

world in an international background and will bring together start-ups and established breweries with the aim of sharing successful experiences. A competent Unionbirrai Beer Taster will then let participants taste special Italian craft beers at the “Taste It! Area - non la solita birra” (no ordinary beer) But at CRAFT BEER ITALY it isn’t all about theory: in addition to the several seminars CRAFT BEER ITALY will host an exhibition, where all participants can see first-hand raw materials, technologies and marketing solutions, fitting for craft beer. The list of all exhibitors is available on the official website.

Even if the conference programme is still being developed but it already proofs that CRAFT BEER ITALY is a MUST, not only because the industry is booming, but also because it provides present and future breweries with the know-how they need to continue their history of success.

The Ticketshop will be soon available on the official website of CRAFT BEER ITALY. www.craft-beer-italy.it
