De-metallization with perfect register and rotogravure printing with pearlescent effects. The special processes presented at Interpack 2014 by CIESD, which also brought to the fair its portfolio of experience…and dreams.

CIESD srl, A CHOICE TO TAKE YOU FURTHER

H

ISTORY “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams”.

Eleanor Roosvelt CIESD Srl was founded in 1979 as the realization of a dream of Francesco Petrillo, who with it created a family company that is now renowned in Italy as well as internationally, and who has managed to pass on the values that have always distinguished his concern on the market not only to his daughters Manuela and Marica, but also to all CIESD’s employees.

PRODUCTION CIESD is a leading Italian Company in the fields of twistable film production, rotogravure printing (including cold seal applications) and lamination of various films for the food sector (confectionary, dairy, bakery, snacks, coffee, drinks, etc.). Over the years, the demands of the market and a willingness to offer an ever increasingly painstaking, precise and specialized service have enabled CIESD to invest in new production processes, such as the metallization and the de-metallization of flexible films of various types, focusing, on one hand on independence from outsourcers, and on the other, on expanding its product portfolio.

During these years, the Company’s drive to devise new and appealing solutions has enabled it to develop two special processes, both of which were presented at Interpack 2014 in Düsseldorf: PERFECT REGISTER DE-METALLISATION

CIESD FP 3/14.indd 3

and PEARLESCENT PRINTING on various packaging types. Both processes enhance the prestige of the packaged product, increasing its visibility and drawing the consumer’s attention.

QUALITY The entire production process, from the select raw materials to the finished product, is closely followed and controlled in such a way as to guarantee the quality of the final product, which is also guaranteed

by UNI EN ISO 9001 and BRC-IoP certifications.

ENVIRONMENT CIESD has always been committed to protecting the environment, zeroing its aerial emissions and managing all production processes, and the waste generated by them, in an ethical and responsible manner.

ADDED VALUE Choosing CIESD does not just mean choosing a supplier, but rather choosing a partner committed to

Petrillo Francesco Manuela e Marica the customer’s day-to-day necessities, guaranteeing professionalism, reliability, punctuality and cooperation.

CIESD is a dream of a family that continues to prosper, but most importantly, it is a reality to be experienced and appreciated.

Neofood: the innovation for the industrial production

Making industrial food attractive: and the lines become TV stars

W

hat happened in food industry?

Now there are two main methods of giving food for peoplehomemade & restaurants and industrial food production. Restaurant food made from the same components as industrial one but much more attractive and innovative. Why not to make industrial food so much attractive and surprising as restaurant?

For that technology at food plants should be flexible and technologists should be innovative as chiefs. Restaurants surprise customers every day-food factories may have the same ability. So excited with this idea we made creative complex for innovative snacks production which is used successfully in many plants in EU, Russia, Ukraine, Pakistan...

We expect that you are producer of sweets,confectionary and bakery products who is searching for so-

NEOFOOD FP 6/14.indd 3

mething new. You manufacture your products with semiautomatic or automatic machinery and know all famous suppliers on the market,but...

still not satisfied.

Maybe you want new forming, extruding, depositing or enrobing machine?

In this issue we will talk about a very innovative company: just a look at their videos and one can realize that - http://www.youtube.com/user/neofoodde.

30/12/14 10:02

Maybe you dream about easy changing of forming machines at the input of your tunnel oven or cooling tunnel or even combining them to get multicomponent products?

But all well known producers are competitors and will never join together to give you combinatory solution,they have different distance between nozzles and PLC control-so INCOMPATIBLE. And we are the German company who assembled all clever experience and now combined modular system for YOU,our dear Customer!

And because of centralized PLC control our system is much more cheaper and convenient than prototypes.

ASK THE PRICE We would like to address our inno-

vative equipment to those customers who want to create innovative food snacks at all kinds of industrial

food manufacturing plants and produce them either in semiautomatic or automatic mode.

Pure italian Style

“P

uro stile italiano” is the slogan that Morello Forni srl, a young company in the huge world of bakery, pastry and pizza ovens, coming from Palermo (IT), has chosen to introduce itself to the USA market. Our story began in 2005 when Salvatore Morello, who has been working as a seller for several years, decided to start producing his own ovens by taking over a little factory. He put in his products the best synthesis between quality and price as he took the best of both these characteristics from his long experience in this field.

A good example is represented by our oven Elektro, totally made in stainless 304; it generates a great quantity of steam (this is of fundamental importance in bread cooking), and has an easy maintenance.

Each chamber is independent from the other one and the stones are made with granulated concrete; but the most important feature is the power control system, with a Solid State Relay that completely replaces mechanic contactors, thus assuring a better distribution of the electric power and a faster interaction between the upper resistance and the underlying one.

Elektro also has an innovative design in order to emphasize the “Pure Italian Style”, and it is available in three colors: Black, White and Italian Red. Our company can also provide a wide set of ovens that could meet the needs of every baker. Deimos ovens, for example, are different in the height of the cooking chambers (f.e.: 18 cm , perfect for pastry, or 16 cm for pizzas). In particular our Deimos Pizza oven has refractory stones and works up to 400°C (750°F).

Phocus is a traditional bakery oven with steam pipes. Its burning cham-

ber is made in refractory stainless, and so we have a sweet cooking.

Morello Forni srl, can make Elektro, Phocus and Deimos in different sizes an cooking surfaces together with a great variety of other machines such as breadcrumbs grinders,

rising cabinets and sifting machines to make ricotta cheese cream and other pastry creams for sweets.

We are very proud to say that Morello Forni srl represent in our country the new reality of Pure Italian Style with a Sicilian heart too.

Sobatech continuous systems for dough.

S

obatech is the Dutch specialist in continuous systems for the industrial production of dough. These can be all kinds of dough’s for a wide range of products: cookies & biscuits, toast & sandwich bread, rolls & buns, croissant & pastry, baguette & pizza, etc.

The Sobatech system.

The Sobatech continuous system has 3 stages which all operate on the basis of ‘first in – first out’.

1)Dosing.

The objective of the Sobatech system is to produce a constant flow of dough of always the same, homogeneous consistency and always the same and correct temperature and dough development In order to reach a constant flow of the right temperature & consistency dough, all ingredients need to be present in always the same and the correct quantities everywhere in the Sobatech mixer/kneader. Therefore, Sobatech has developed a very accurate dosing system, both hardware & software. Special attention was given to maintain a high dosing accuracy during the re-filling of the dosing hoppers. This has resulted in dedicated open-source software (no ‘black box’).

The dosing of the solid ingredients is done through the ‘loss-in-weight’ principle.

Except during re-filling when there is ‘gain-in-weight’ situation. The Sobatech software controls the feeder screws during normal operation& re-filling of the hoppers in such a way that the dosing accuracy remains very high. For the dosing of the liquid ingredients, high precision pumps and flow meters (magflow or coriolis) are used.

SOBATECH FP 6/14.indd 3

23/12/14 11:46

2) Mixing.

Sobatech handles a 2-phase mixing process. The 1st stage is the socalled homogenization phase. In this phase the dry ingredients pass through a homogenizer, coming from the dosing section. The dry ingredients enter the homogenizer from the top in very fine particles (like a dust) When flowing through the homogenizer, the liquid ingredients are sprayed in very fine particles (like a mist) under a 90째 angle in the flow of dry ingredients. This is done via a medium pressured injection system. Under these conditions a perfect hydration of the flour is reached as well as a homogeneous distribution of the active substances in the mix. Subsequently, the flour absorbs a high quantity of water.

Each liquid ingredient uses dedicated nozzles and has a dedicated connection position on the homogenizer. This way a most optimal mix of the dry & liquid ingredients is reached. The result is that a mass of mixed ingredients, representing already approximately 75-85% of the complete mixing cycle, leaves the homogenizer and flows into the mechanical mixer which is the 2nd stage of the mixing process. This 1st stage does not put any energy into the dough. The mechanical mixer consists of 2 counter rotating spiral-type tools, each mounted on a separate axle. The mixing tools handle the mass very gently and provide the movement that completes the mixing phase.

3) Kneading.

From the 2nd stage of mixing the dough is automatically transferred to the kneading section. The kneading tools are mounted on the same axles as the mixing tools. Therefore there movement is combined and the connection between the 2nd mixing stage and the 1st kneading section is seamless.

Sobatech has developed specially de-

Liquid ingredient dosing.

Homogenizer.

Mixing process.

signed tools that are counter rotating on both axles. Due to the specially designed kneading tools we are able to carry out the kneading process in defined and controlled steps where the kneading intensity is constantly measured and controlled.

The excellent kneading characteristics of both machines ensures perfectly controlled energy input into the dough. This means less energy loss in the kneader compared to a batch kneader and therefore a substantial reduction in electricity consumption.

Another innovation is provided in the form of the scrapers which allow a gentle and controlled output of the dough at the end of the kneading container. These scrapers also have the advantage that the dough is not pressed into the tool bearings.

The mixer/kneader housing is equipped with a double jacket. The cooling medium can be cold water or glycol.

The control of the double jacket cooling is integrated in the software controls. When the dough temperature is too high and the process water temperature is already at the minimum, the double jacket cooling is automatically activated.

Sobatech continuous systems, key features: - Always the same dough consistency & temperature = less waste.

- Low dough temperatures without ice = better process control.

- Increased weight accuracy per dough piece = cost savings.

- Short dough change-over times = high flexibility.

- Serious reduction in electricity consumption = lower cost of ownership.

- Wash-in-place / clean-in-place systems = easy to operate & maintain.

- Very small footprint (5.000 x 900 x 1.500 mm) = easy to fit in.

Supplying machines for an ever increasing demand

B

rovind - GBV Impianti, located in Cortemilia (CN), Italy, is a company specialised in technology, systems and plants to the confectionery, snack and nut industry. Since over 60 years, our company has been offering customised and ever increasingly tailor made solutions to process nuts and the sorts, ranging from shelling, dry roasting (with hot air or infrared rays), oil roasting (deep frying), chopping and paste production (to be used as ingredient for ice-creams, bakery and spreadable cream, for instance), to storage, handling, dosing, sorting, blanching, coating, flavouring etc. The raw materials processed

by Brovind’s equipment are mainly hazelnuts, peanuts, pistachios, almonds, cashew nuts and macadamias that will become snacks for the final consumer or semi-finished product for the confectionery industry. Brovind main customers are from namely all over the world. Our plants allow cost reduction in terms of manpower, running, cleaning operation and maintenance. Brovind’s

BROWIND FP 6/2014.indd 3

aim is to keep machines and lines downtime close to zero, giving a full and prompt support and service to our customers. Our projects represent a venture of several standard units put together, but each line we deliver is absolutely unique and tailor made according to customer’s specific demands and indications, to try and recreate the “magic” of tradition along with an industrial mentality. Loyalizing the customer’s highly important and crucial to us.

Our customers are in constant need of improving their production capacity and of broadening their product range, always keep-

ing an eye on the general costs.”

Brovind main customers are from namely all over the world, ranging from the Far East with special emphasis on China, to South America, North America, Africa and more.

We’re working alongside our customers, day after day, to put them

17/12/14 12:43

in the conditions of working in the best and most efficient way. We support our customers step by step, thus enabling them to work at their best: thanks to the most advanced technologies, product integrity is preserved as much as possible, thus reducing the risk of damages and breakages, and shelf life is increased by oxidisation reduction.

All the above is essential in an ever increasingly crowded, aggressive and competitive market.

Besides, Brovind is always involved in the research and development of new processing lines and technologies. Recently, we have launched a new range of small-scale plants for cocoa beans processing that performs the pre-cleaning, roasting, chopping and milling, up to the refined cocoa paste/liquor, ready to be used in the confectionery and ice cream industry. All

BROWIND FP 6/2014.indd 4

the above is available on plants, starting from 25kg/h on capacity, paying the upmost attention on the „value for money“ issue. Basically these plants are as flexible as required by the most exigent gourmet artisans, combined with the robustness typical of the big-capacity industrial-scale lines for much bigger capacity, which have always been a recognized Brovind hallmark. In fact our lines have an outstanding lifespan, which greatly exceeds the average, with machines still successfully working even after over 35 - 40 years of operation.

Another processing equipment, increasing in volumes and

appreciated by our customers, are the seasoning lines that allow to get tasty nuts based snacks in a huge variety of flavors and aromas, matching the habits and tastes of local markets.Our seasoning lines are available in many different configurations and variants, with different capacities and automation levels and they are tailored engineered to satisfy any customers’ specific needs and exigencies.

Eurosicma: 50 years of packaging and constant innovation

T

hroughout its 50-years corporate history, Eurosicma has kept alive the same keys factors that characterized the company since its foundation: constant innovations to develop new packaging solutions employing advanced technologies for the improvement in terms of efficiency and productivity of the plants.

From its genesis to today, these are the principles that guide Eurosicma to meet the future challenges of the market and to create long-term cooperation with its clients.

Today Eurosicma is a leading company of an Italian Group of companies highly-specialized in manufacturing horizontal packaging machines and it counts 160 employees.

The company operates currently in over than 85 countries worldwide with more than 4000 units sold.

Eurosicma’s machinery portfolio includes moving, feeding and horizontal packaging machines and turn-key solutions for the bakery, confectionery and care industries.

In order to provide the best support to its clients and to manage efficiently every single stage of their projects, Eurosicma has invested a lot in its internal corporate structure creating three divisions: Lines, Candy and Care.

Furthermore, to ensure and maintain the high quality functioning standard of Eurosicma’s wrapping applications, the company grants dedicated and skilled Teams for the

EUROSICMA FP 6/2014.indd 3

after sales assistance.

Lines Division

Eurosicma’s Lines Divisions is composed of a Team entirely dedicated to a wide range of food and nonfood products including: chocolate, biscuits, wafers, bakery products, snacks, cakes, soaps, detergent tablets, deodorants, cosmetic products, blisters, tablets and many more. The company’s proposal for the flow wrapping is the EURO 88 Model, available in different configurations according to the specific costumers’ requests, from a simple

stand-alone wrapping machine to a completely automated wrapping system. › For biscuits, small cakes, irregular and sticky products , Eurosicma’s answer is the EURO 88 equipped with the high-performace and presureless HSF8 feeder (High Speed Feeding and Timing System) composed of 8 belts independently servo driven.

This application is especially designed to handle difficult products at high speed granting a gentle handling of products at an extremely

23/12/14 11:47

low and monitored pressure. If required or needed, it can also avoid any contact between the products.

Such sophisticated feeding system is equipped with auto-tensioning and auto-centering belts’ system and allows an easy and fast toolfree cleaning for plates, belts and transmission rollers. › For biscuits to be wrapped in stacks, Eurosicma proposes the EURO 88 UNIVERSAL which can be connected to two different model of gravity feeders: the “P.W.F” model and “V.M.” one, suitable to handle and feed mainly flat or dry biscuits. › For plain, sandwich biscuits and crackers to be packed on edge in flow pack style, Eurosicma’s solution is the EURO 88/EDG version.

This model is designed to be con-

EUROSICMA FP 6/2014.indd 4

nected with a flight bar in-feed conveyor, positioned at 90° degrees granting the highest speed and a gentle handling of the products.

Eurosicma offers also a special application of the machine equipped with the twin flight bar conveyor in order to reduce or even avoid any friction between the products and the feeder.

For biscuits, rice cakes and rusks on edge in fold pack style, Eurosicma proposes the EUROFOLD Machine Model. It is the first and the only fully electronic fold wrapper available on the market.

Its main innovation is the Patented Rotary Wrapping Head composed of two parts only, one to infeed the products, coming from the conveyor, the other one for the simultaneous out feed of the products. The

sealing devices are directly inside the rotary head and they work during the whole rotation process.

Thanks to its specific technology, the machine can grant tight packages, a gentle handling of the products, high speed production, up to 100 packs per minute, and an easy and fast change size.

The EUROFOLD can be supplied with the Fin Seal application, which grants a great longitudinal sealing’s results, or with the Overlapping Seal solution, strictly required when the machine is equipped with the carton feeder unit.

One of the latest innovation of Eurosicma is the special device to obtain folded flow packs. This application allows to obtain a cross sealing similar to the fold pack style, but with a better and longer shelf-life.

23/12/14 11:47

For semi- or fully automated configurations, both the models EURO88/ EDG and EUROFOLD can be combined with the Eurosicma’s Automatic Portion Feeder Volumetric Version (APFV) available with different numbers of channels depending on the volume of production to be satisfied. › For sandwich biscuits, Eurosicma can offer an integrated system composed of the Eurosicma’s sandwiching machine, model SAMA 2, and the flow wrapping machine model EURO 88. Both the machines are connected in real-time granting the synchronization of the system and high levels of efficiency and out-put.

Depending on the production quantities to be satisfied, Eurosicma proposes different models of sandwiching machine: the SAMA 2 model, suitable to handle up to 1400/1500 sandwich biscuits per minute and supplied with two lanes, and the SAMA 4, a four lanes sandwiching machine that can reach a production of approximately 2800/3000 sandwiches per minute.

The cream tank, entirely in stainless, is designed to feed the cream to be portioned and is equipped with a jacketed water circulation system for temperature control, a shaker and a pump.

The wire-cut technology applied to dose the cream allows to maintain constant, regular and equal the amount of cream leaking from the dosing units and to interrupt the emission of the cream when the machine is stopped.

Such sophisticated dosing system grants the deposit of the correct quantity of cream also in case the filling machine has to manage many different formats with very different portions of cream.

In addition, special applications for double cream colours applications

EUROSICMA FP 6/2014.indd 5

are available. › For wafers’ application, Eurosicma has developed special feeding system to reach high-speed requirements: the Side Transfer Feeder (STF). This is a servo motorized device designed to transfer products from the multi-belts feeder into the chain of the EURO88 wrapping machine.

Eurosicma offers also the Soft Side Transfer Feeder (SSTF) that is the most advanced version of the STF feeder. This system enhances a gentle transfer of the products at a high speed thanks to the continuous movement of insertion and, at the same time, direct transfer into the chain of the wrapper.

Both the SSTF and STF can be supplied in the double lane version.

coming in rows and placed in flat position from the process line, Eurosicma offers the high-performance distributor system, model SMART. Eurosicma can supply very customized solutions according to the available working space and the production speed.

Eurosicma’s portfolio includes also special carton feeder applications: the carton feeder from reel, integrated in the wrapper in-feed conveyor and available with auto-splicing unit for two carton reels, and the more flexible Pre-Cut, which is manually loaded by the operators.

The real-time communication between the wrappers and the rows distributor assuring the auto-speed adjustment of the whole packaging line and the positive control of the products during all the wrapping process.

The main advantage of the SMART unit is the continuous and dynamic feeding avoiding any gaps between the distributed rows.

Eurosicma offers high performance accumulating and re-feeding systems sticky.

The Eurosicma’s LIFO (Last In – First Out) accumulation systems are able to store the rows of product coming from the production line and deliver them back to the re-feeding unit of the wrapping line.

Both horizontal and vertical buffering systems are available.

› Specifically for instant noodles, Eurosicma proposes dedicated packaging solutions composed of the pressure-less and high-performance EURO/HSF8 Noodles Version wrapping machine with the sachet feeder for the cutting and the placing of the seasoning bags into the noodles’pack.

Eurosicma proposes advanced innovations in this specific field assuring concrete advantages: › possibility of dosing one or more seasoning bags per pack at high speeds and maintaining the propor position of the sachets; › high performance “no noodle no seasoning bag” automatic function; › accurate empty sachet detection.

› For enrobed bakery products, cakes and a wide range of products

VISIT US AT PROSWEETS 2015 HALL 10.1 STAND F-034.

› For wafers, enrobed chocolate bars, dry biscuits and regular shape products coming in long-side position from the production line, Eurosicma proposed the EURO/CF3 wrapping machines.

This system is supplied with a 3-belts feeding system placed at 90° or 110° driven by independent brushless motors assuring a gentle handling of the product with an extremely and carefully monitored pressure.

The feeding system allows to recover the empty spaces of the product flow, the automatic buffering of the products at a monitored pressure and then the progressive separation of the products in order to transfer them into the wrapper chain.

SLIMMER JAR PACKS A PUNCH AT TANGERINE CONFECTIONERY

A

new, narrower jar which loses none of the on-shelf impact of its larger predecessor has been created for Tangerine Confectionery by RPC Containers Blackburn.

solutions for our products.” RPC was asked to create the new pack as a result of its long-term supplier relationship with Tangerine Confectionery in Pontefract, Yorkshire. For further information on Tangerine

Confectionery, please visit www. tangerineuk.net To discover Candyland, please visit, www.candy-land.com, www.facebook.com/Candyland or on Twitter @Candyland.

The injection-moulded 3.6L PET jar, made in a custom mould, is the same height as a 4L version, meaning it carries the same on-shelf presence.

The UK’s leading sugar confectionery manufacturer has switched its Taveners traditional sweet shop range and Jameson’s high-quality chocolate-covered confectionery to the new, classic-style container, which has been specifically developed for Tangerine’s cash and carry customers.

Its glass-clear appearance highlights the colourful, high-quality product within, and the wide neck for easy dispensing uses a 105mm black cap supplied by RPC Halstead.

Speaking about the new packaging, Sarah Brown, senior brand manager at Tangerine Confectionery, said: “We’ve been really impressed with the response from the RPC team following our brief for the new jars.

“The new, bespoke jars feature a more traditional style, which we think will really appeal to the wholesale market, while also offering retailers great value for money. We’ve worked with RPC on a number of projects now and look forward to working with the team in the future to develop further new packaging

The Italian packaging industry continues its growth The Italian automatic packaging machinery sector is expected to close the year with a further increase in turnover. According the preliminary end-of-year results published by the Statistics Department of the Italian national trade association Ucima, the sector’s turnover is expected to exceed 6,200 million euros. Growth is estimated at 3.3%, slightly smaller than the figure for the last few years.

This result is largely attributable to exports, which made up 82.2% of total turnover and grew by 2.2% to 5,100 million euros. The European Union remains the largest market for Italian technologies, followed by Asia and non-EU European countries.

According to the figures for the first nine months of the

RUINCAR FP 6/14.indd 3

year, the top three importer countries are the United States, China and France. The domestic market also performed strongly with 9% growth to more than 1,100 million euros. This was largely a result of the tax concessions on the purchase of capital goods offered by the so-called “Sabatini Bis” law. The forecasts for 2015 are lower. “After years of steady growth, we have seen a small slowdown in orders in our key geographical markets in recent months,” said Ucima’s Chairman, Giuseppe Lesce.

“The outlook for the coming year is therefore very cautious, particular given the uncertainly caused by the social and political unrest and the economic downturn in a number of key markets.”

BREAKING NEWS

A

s usual for CT Pack habit even this year we’re glad to introduce you to several innovative concepts and manufactured lines for the food industry packaging technology.

It’s in our aim to reach you with the description of just some of this new equipments which vary from ice cream complete packaging line to high capacity complete handling streaming and packaging systems for biscuits both in single and stacked confectionary style.

We also like to renew our interests in finding new customers and consolidate our business partnership with the current ones as demonstrated with our presence to

the just past Interpack exhibition and to the incoming main exhibition events.

CT PACK at Interpack 2014 - Dusseldorf 2014 Interpack 2014 edition has seen CT PACK among the most innovative and high technology profile companies, getting great success and much interest in the exhibited solutions: Flow-wrapping machine with special sealing head, for soft and naked food products.

New and exclusive complete packaging line for product flow-wrapping and boxing designed as a “Dual Independent lane Primary and Secondary Packaging Solu-

tion”. Each line totally independent giving the option of two difffferent products and fifilm on the same machine.

Also offering the option of “stand-by” lane negating the need for buffering. Production capacity of over then 1200 products per minute. Furthermore allows the integration of two complete lines integrated in the footprint of one single line.

CT PACK Primary Packaging Line for Stacked biscuits One of the latest developments of CT Pack is an innovative packaging line for biscuits in stacks in operation in East Europe. With more than 3000 incoming products the solution is one of the most space saving systems in relation to its capacity. The products coming in rows are spread and streamed into two packaging legs.

Each packaging leg handles half of the production, providing for the merging of

the flows and stacking of the products in order to create 4 product stacks and finally the primary wrapping of the stacked products, by means of the well-known and proven MMH2 dual-lane flowrapping machine.

The two parallel legs develop the foot print in a single direction way thus reducing the impact on the layout and allowing single operator manning. The line, as per CT Pack’s construction style, is totally made in stainless steel material and equipped with the most rigid safety rules and hygienic standards, resulting in a simple and user friendly packaging line.

CT PACK Complete Packaging Line for Extruded Ice Cream A very important and strategic complete packaging line has been recently commissioned in USA for the ice cream field. CT Pack designed a complete line which provides all the operations from the naked product feeding to the primary packaging and to the case packing.

The line receives more than 600 products per minute, in rows, from the freezing tunnel and distributes them to two double-lane flowpack machines.

Then the line performs the loading of boxes by a robotic top loading system and conveys the boxes to the robotic case packer where the loading of outer cases takes place in a very flexible way.

All kinds of containers (trays, boxes, outer cases, etc.) are handled by CT Pack machines for erecting, filling and closing

Last Events In the last months CT Pack attended two important exhibitions: › Eurasia Packaging 2014 in Istanbul, held from the 18th to the 21st of September › PMMI Pack Expo held in Chicago, where CT Pack presented for the first time a great innovation for the primary packaging feeding system.

CSB-SYSTEM SPEEDS UP CHEESE ORDER AND PICKING PROCESS

A

n advanced intralogistics system devised by CSB-System International for leading Swiss cheese producer Züger Frischkäse AG in Oberbüren has automated the company’s stock control process while delivering a 50% time saving in picking speeds.

Züger Frischkäse produces a range of cheeses including mozzarella, feta, ricotta and mascarpone. The company’s production is already characterised by a high degree of automation and fully integrated information technology, and CSBSystem was asked to modernise its intralogistics to provide seamless link to the picking and replenishment processes.

The CSB-System solution combines high bay storage with mobile picking. Every pallet in the high bay storage is linked to the system with its minimum sell-by date and lot

CSB FP 3-14.indd 3

number. This ensures that bays are filled according to the first-in, firstout principle.

In addition, the system provides an extra degree of control using master data from the ERP software. For example, the pallet height and the maximum weight can be checked.

The master data can also specify whether the item first needs to be forwarded to a quick freezing position, and in which segment of the warehouse and at what height it is stored.

The inventory management computer communicates with the CSBSystem via defined interfaces to handle the automatic removal of pallets for replenishment during the picking process.

Picking itself is paperless, using wireless technology to directly transmit to touch panels on the electric forklifts. The screen shows

in which area of the picking zone the pallet with the required product can be found.

Using Bluetooth scanners, the pallet label is scanned, the corresponding number of items removed, and the pick quantity confirmed. If a pallet is emptied, a new one is requisitioned automatically from the high bay storage, ensuring ongoing replenishment in the packing zone and that customer orders can be processed very quickly and efficiently.

Overall Züger reports a 50% saving compared to its previous operation while the error rate has been minimised.

“We have elevated this area to a completely new level,” comments deputy CEO Markus Züger. “Today we are in a position to respond quickly and flexibly to customer demands.”

More function, less waste

K

uraray Co. Ltd. has been manufacturing and marketing ethylene vinylalcohol copolymers (EVOH) under the name EVAL™ since 1972, and remains the world leader in EVOH production and market development. William Reay, global marketing manager for EVAL Europe, talks to Food Processing about all EVOH has to offer.

Can you tell us a bit about the company?

William Reay: Kuraray was founded in Japan in 1926, and quickly expanded from plastic rayon textile fibres into speciality chemicals and polymers. We are the world’s largest producer of VAM [vinyl acetate monomer] derivatives, including PVOH (polyvinyl alcohol) and EVOH (ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers).

How can EVAL EVOH help brand-owners and producers reduce their carbon footprint?

By reducing packaging, and avoid-

ing waste. EVAL EVOH is all about finding the perfect balance between function and minimal amounts of materials. EVAL EVOH has performance against oxygen gas that is 10,000 times better than LDPE [low-density polyethylene]. In other words, 1mm of EVAL gives the same protection as a 10m-thick wall of LDPE. We thus need an EVAL layer thickness of just a few microns to add enough barrier function to a coextruded structure. Optimising the amount of packaging materials helps reduce the carbon footprint of a product. But, it is the barrier

function that plays the most important role by prolonging shelf life and avoiding waste; the contents of a package usually have a much greater environmental impact than the packaging materials in which they are sold. It not only makes good environmental sense, but good economic sense as well.

Are the materials recyclable or recoverable?

Both. Multilayer structures including EVAL™ are routinely ground up and reused as a structural layer in multilayer barrier plastic bottles, sheet and trays. EVAL will not disrupt polyolefin recycling streams, either online or post-consumer. Because EVAL is a plastic, it provides good energy recovery, and emits only water vapour and CO2 – no toxic residue, no metal, no chlorine. Because there isn’t much EVAL in the structure to begin with, even these emissions are quite small, especially when compared with the important benefits of avoiding waste. In the fu-

ture, EVAL itself may be made from renewable sources that don’t interrupt food supply chains.

Stand-up pouches are increasingly being used for ready meals. Are your solutions microwave-safe?

Absolutely. Stand-up pouches are a good example of optimised packaging, using relatively small amounts of material to protect food until it can be consumed.

The microns of EVAL provide barrier properties and shelf-life extension to the entire structure. EVAL is a transparent plastic – no problem for microwave ov-

EVAL FP 2/14.indd 4

weighing

ens. It can also be used for energyefficient aseptic filling processes, and is compatible with metal detectors during processing.

How can EVAL reduce waste and protect food?

Prolonging shelf life is an important way to avoid waste. It adds valuable time to the processing and distribution process, while keeping the contents fresh with their vitamins and aroma intact.

Our partners usually come to us for optimised oxygen gas barrier, but EVAL also keeps aromas inside the package and effectively blocks outside odours, grease and contamination. A fast growing example of the benefit of this is the EVAL solution against MOSH/MOAH (mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons/ mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons) migration. Mineral oils that are present in recycled cartonboard can easily migrate and accumulate in certain foods, which can cause health problems when ingested.

The quick answer from the market has been to move to virgin paperboard, but this may not be sustainable, and doesn’t protect against migration from the outer carton boxes used for trans-

port and storage. EVAL provides a proven barrier against MOSH/ MOAH in thickness as thin as 4μm – once again, effective protection with only very small amounts of material. Better yet, our European Technical Centre can scientifically simulate the amount of MOSH/ MOAH migration of a given structure, to show that it is within ever stricter food safety regulation.

What properties do EVAL products have that can help influence consumer decisions?

As a transparent plastic material, EVAL is versatile, and can be used in optimised coextruded structures for film, bag-in-box, pouches, trays, cups, tubes, bottles – even flexitainers and automotive fuel tanks.

It can be coated or laminated onto cartonboard and paper, and even used in barrier in-mould labels and co-injected cups and closures. Very thin flexible layers can be laminated to renewable materials like paper or cartonboard, giving them muchneeded barrier function.

Thanks to its transparency, the product can be made attractively visible to the consumer. But maybe the best way to influence customer decisions is to pass on savings due to optimised packaging and transport, and produce less waste throughout the processing and distribution stream.

LABELLING SYSTEMS FOR HIGH-PRODUCTION PACKAGING LINES

A

pplication of self-adhesive labels on high-production packaging lines requires adequate instruments and solutions. The experience developed

by LABELPACK in this field has enabled the creation of a new version of the now celebrated LABELX series, equipped with two highefficiency hybrid step motors and enhanced electronic management that applies labels up to a speed of 90m/min, with very high frequency.

LABELPACK FP 6/2014.indd 3

LABELX RM is equipped with a 400 mm diameter reel holder and 250 mm motorised rewinder.

Electronic control is supplied from a separate control panel that can be installed in a remote position and equipped with a Touch Screen operator interface.

Besides this essential solution for high-speed application, LABELPACK has developed more high-production solutions equipped with a NON STOP function that does not stop

the production line when the label reel has finished and throughout the time required to replace the new reel of labels, thus ensuring high efficiency of the line.

This solution known as LABELX TWIN is equipped with two LABELX series labelling units, which are both installed on one structure, one of which is operating, whilst the second is on stand-by until the reel being processed reaches the minimum load.

This is when an exchange signal is activated, which is managed electronically and automatically puts the labelling unit on stand-by and stops the unit previously operating, without missing any product passing through the production line.

The operator can now easily intervene on the stopped machine, moving it away from the line thanks to

a mechanical slide, and replace the reel with total ease and safety.

Once the new reel has been restored, the operator will reposition the labelling unit so that it is ready for the next change. LABELX TWIN

can be integrated with thermal transfer printing motors, enabling line printing of various data and bar codes using the NON STOP function, and is easily integrated into existing production lines.

Kingmar. The specialist for fresh cheese machines

Many dairies provide fresh cheese in their product range.

The market is growing steadily, but the machines lagged behind for a long time until the foundation of Kingmar.

The Dutch company makes its mark by developing and manufacturing machines and production lines purpose-built for fresh cheese. The emphasis is set on a good cost-performance ratio in terms of low investment and low maintenance cost for powerful machines.

F

ully committed to fresh cheese Kingmar originated from the JH-Group which is located in Holland and specialising in metal and machine construction (for further information, see www.jurryhekkingmetaal.nl). Based on many years of experience with machines for fresh cheese production, Kingmar has been founded as a new brand. Jurry Hekking, the owner of Kingmar, says: “Of course there are machines for producing and processing fresh cheese. Unfortunately, most of them are not especially designed for it. Kingmar is different, because it takes care of the product´s fragility.”

surprises after installation and the production can start right away.

The complete range can be used in combination with other machines or on its own.

Kingmar filter press The Kingmar filter press is a special system to produce fresh cheese in a so-called “hang up” way by using filter press bags. As soon as the bags are filled with the product, the side walls of the press slowly move

towards each other. The percentage of dry matter determines the required time. Being built of stainless steel, the machine is very robust and offers a powerful operating system.

More continuity and efficiency The bags can be filled either manually or semi-automatically. In that case, the filling will be even more consistent. Also, the machine can be connected to CIP cleaning after-

Very product- and user-friendly All Kingmar machines have been extensively tested by experienced cheese manufacturers concerning their ease of use and functionality.

Wherever necessary, adjustments have been executed. This ensures that Kingmar machines are, in the end, a real big improvement in comparison to current systems. Another major advantage of Kingmar is that a complete system is purchased.

Once bought, there won´t be any

wards. Therefore, during the whole production process human hands are no longer required. This reduces the risk of contamination and saves labour. For this reason, the semiautomatic filter press of Kingmar is an ideal solution for manufacturers who aim to produce fresh cheese in a more efficient and consistent way.

Kingmar washer After emptying, the filter press bags can be easily cleaned with the Kingmar washer. This industrial machine is especially manufactured for a large number of bags to be cleaned and disinfected in an efficient and quick manner. The washing drum is designed for preserving the life-time of the filter press bags.

For ease of use, the washing programs can be individually compiled.

All in all, the Kingmar washer is an indispensable machine for hygienic production.

Kingmar filling machine and mixer The Kingmar filling machine is designed to quickly and hygienically process large amounts of fresh cheese into smaller portions. By using the justification “height”, the machine can be even easier filled and emptied. The Kingmar mixer allows for merging fresh cheese with ingredients like e.g. herbs. There has been a lot of attention paid to the requirement of preserving the specific structure of the product while mixing it. By that way, an ex-

cellent machine has been invented.

Also, the mixer can be combined with the filling machine for an even greater ease of use.

Kingmar moulding machine The Kingmar moulding machine is definitely a very unique machine due to the fact that it is able to create any shape required. The funnel drain provides beautiful, wellstocked products. As a result, all of them have an equal size and weight.

The transportation unit forwards them immediately, so that they just need to be packed up. The machine includes various shapes and it is also possible to fill the fresh cheese products in an individual way. Of

course, the structure of the fresh cheese is being preserved during the whole process.

Kingmar filling machine For example, it is possible to fill in peppers or olives and stuff puff pastry by using the foot or hand pedal of the Kingmar filling machine. Also, multiple people can be integrated in the work process. In case there are large amounts of fresh cheese or similar products to be processed, it is possible to combine the Kingmar filling machine with the moulding machine. By that way, you are even faster and more flexible.

Kingmar Experience Center If you would like to try Kingmar machines – for example with your own product – you are cordially invited to visit the Kingmar Experience Center. There you have the chance to test them in detail and without time pressure. Of course, we supply plenty of guidance, explanation and support. Be assured, this is the ideal way to determine whether Kingmar machines suit your product range.

Save time with the automatic blank magazine Easy-Load

C

ompanies operating in the Food & Beverage sector have to face a more and more competitive market and are required to offer a constantly diversified range of products, in order to meet the consumer’s disparate exigencies. Therefore, the solutions implemented by packaging machine manufacturers are expected to be innovative, cost-effective, efficient, sustainable and able to realize appealing packages.

Smiflexi range of automatic packers provides the end user all the technical and functional specifications required to manage production cycles efficiently and economically and to enable quick switch from one format to another.

Among the new opportunities offered by Smiflexi division there is the innovative Easy-Load cardboard blanks magazine, an accessory device (available both for the wraparound case packers of the WP series and the heat-shrinkwrappers of the SK series) which features considerable advantages from an operating and functional point of view. With Easy-Load the operator can easily load cardboard blanks

SMI FP 4/14.indd 3

- stacked horizontally in uniform groups - because the feeding belt of the magazine is positoned at the same working height as the packer’s infeed belt, rather than under it. The innovative solution devised

by SMI eliminates the disadvantages related to the manual loading of the cardboard blanks magazine, which force the operator to bend his/her body continuously to place the blanks in the bottom part of the machine. The operator just places the cardboard blank stacks on the outermost roller conveyor so that the automatic control system can perform all the subsequent steps.

Thanks to specific sensors, the layout and feed of the cardboard blanks on the conveyor belts fitted with the motorized roller and their loading into the packer’s magazine is, in fact, fully automated.

Moreover, with the innovative EasyLoad system, even the unloading of the cardboard blanks is performed automatically, after processing a certain format, through a series of steps carried out in reverse order as compared to the loading steps.

Fridge packs realized by SMI wraparound packers The technology used in the Easy-Load magazine also features the great advantage of ensuring fluid and constant picking operations with a wide range of cardboard blanks having a thickness between 0.5 mm and 5 mm Thanks to the innovative Easy-Load cardboard blanks magazine, Smiflexi wrap-around packers of the WP are able to meet multiple

exigencies: they can pack different types of products (glass, PET, cans, etc.) in different kinds of containers, of large or small size: kraft-paper boxes, microwave or corrugated cardboard boxes.

Smiflexi wrap-around packers of the WP series can pack bottles and cans in cardboard boxes, called Fridge Packs, specifically designed to fit into the limited space offered by fridge compartments. Thanks to an innovative design, a pre-scored breakaway panel allows the consumer to conveniently take out of the package just the bottle or can he actually needs. The box thus becomes a dispenser of the products included in the packs.

The technology used in the Smiflexi “Easy-Load” magazine features the great advantage of using Kraftpaper with a wrap-around packer.

Kraft paper ensures a solid packaging, despite its reduced thickness.

The polish, white surface of kraft paper is an optimal solution, ensuring excellent printability and appealing graphics, in order to draw the customer’s attention on the products displayed on the shelves at the sales outlets.

MicroGrind offers big advantages for producing Shelf Ready Packaging (SRP)

An evolving production technology provides a boost for box plants

W

ith 70 per cent of purchasing decisions now being made at the point-of-purchase, more brands than ever are turning to shelf ready packaging to vie for shoppers’ attention.

This spike in demand is placing pressure on box plants to transition to high-output rotary die cutters that increase production and ensure maximum quality. MicroGrind®, an innovative technological offering from SUN Automation Group®, assists with this transition and facilitates the step-up in quality required to meet demand.

Rob Dal Lago, SUN Automation’s General Manager EMEA, said: “We are seeing that box plants are making the transition from slow low-output Flat Bed Die cutters to high-output Rotary Die cutters wherever possible to provide increased production levels of quality boxes that meet the SRP specifications. MicroGrind provides a big advantage for box plants that need accurate and consistent crease, score, and perforation in order to permit fault free auto-fill and shelf presentation.”

The key to die cut accuracy and creasing quality on soft anvil Rotary Die cutting machines is to ensure the process is performed on a uniform cutting surface that is running at the correct speed. The answer to this challenge brought an entirely new method of treating the anvil surface by grinding and automatically compensating anvil speed after the grind.

“MicroGrind uses a tungsten carbide roll to grind the anvil flat and true.

This inventive idea allows the surface to be treated in micro amounts

MICROGRID FP 6/2014.indd 3

automatically with precision, without operator intervention,” added Dal Lago. “By utilising a full-width grinding roll engaged systematically against the entire anvil surface, and then adjusting the anvil speed, box makers can significantly advance the quality and productivity of their Rotary Die cutting machines.”

Grinding that was traditionally done once a week may now be done several times a shift while the machine is running with the significant advantage of nominal down-time.

Consistently smooth anvil covers which perform ‘as new’ during their entire life assure clean cuts and perforations, thus appreciably easing scrap issues.

Rejections and returned boxes are significantly reduced as breaker and packing machines are now able to run smoother at higher speeds with minimal jams.

MicroGrind is a unique

proprietary innovation and is quickly becoming the preferred system for converters worldwide with over 600 units installed to date. It is available as an upgrade for existing machines, as well as for almost all new machine models in the market including top anvil machines.

High technology heat for over 50 years

I

CI CALDAIE – 50 YEARS OF HISTORY ICI CALDAIE is a company with over 50 years of history and experience in energy management and heat production.

It was established in 1958 as a manufacturing company for the production of steel boilers with a high content of water for industrial processes. This is a sector in which it currently holds a worldwide leadership position by providing medium and high power generators for the production of high efficiency energy in the residential and industrial sectors.

Experience gained over the years in the industry, has allowed the company to transfer the know-how in the design and manufacture of industrial steam boilers to that of boilers for residential and commercial markets, with particular specialization in the construction of centralized systems.

Armed with this rare competence, ICI CALDAIE decided to focus on the international market, undertaking the process that led to the attainment of the international certification ISO 9001/94 and ISO 9002 in 2003 and established itself as a leading company in the interna-

ICI CALDAIE FP 4/14.indd 3

tional arena.

The concept of “high-technology heat” that has always guided the company, has now started to materialize with the management of heat generation systems and a new philosophy that puts customer satisfaction at the centre of the company. In this regard, ICI CALDAIE combines the supply of high quality products and innovation with the best service, accompanying the Client in the choice of the most suitable system for the maintenance, management and control of the system, guaranteeing the best performance and highest energy savings during use.

It is a time of great innovation for ICI CALDAIE which has enriched its product range by introducing satellite modules able to make the user autonomous and at the same time allow significant savings in terms of efficiency compared to traditional boilers.

Market entry of new products and services is combined with another challenge, the design and development of hardware and software for intelligent system management.

In 2009, eterm™ was created, an electronic management system for maximum efficiency and responsi-

ble use of energy in heat generating systems, including integrated systems.

Today ICI CALDAIE is a benchmark for companies operating in the sector of steam generators for industrial processes and heating. The pioneering and innovative spirit that distinguishes it, still pushes the company to invest in the research and development of projects that aim at creating new energy systems with low environmental impact, exploring new applications, new technologies and alternative energy sources. Among the latter, great resources are being invested in heat production from hydrogen for the residential market, with technology that can enable multifamily units to be self-sufficient in terms of energy production, reduce emissions to zero and sell the excess energy on the network.

“We create value by increasing efficiency and reducing emissions” R&D The company’s pioneering and innovative spirit has led it to invest heavily in the research and development of projects for new energy systems with low environmental

impact, to explore new applications, new technologies with low emissions and to work closely with top universities to develop ambitious and highly innovative research projects. In addition to the solid and continuous collaboration with universities, ICI Caldaie has strategic partnerships with trade associations, producers and complementary companies, valuable alliances for the development of new, highly innovative, successful, large-scale research projects, with the conviction that there is no greater force than that generated by a group of heterogeneous members working for the same goal.

COMMERCIAL RANGE In the commercial market, condensing boilers are the most efficient and advanced combustion technology for space heating. The operation is based on the recovery of the latent heat of the flue gases that are made to condense through the heat exchange surfaces. In this way it is possible to achieve very high output up to 109%, drastically reducing emissions.

The equipment can be integrated with the eterm® system for its management and includes: online alarm verification with targeted and timely interventions on system problems already diagnosed, alignment of digital and analogue data for accuracy certified by the correct value of individual consumption, temperature control via web or smartphone for every unit, meter reading systems with graphs to monitor progress and compare with the outdoor temperature or average condominium temperature, delivery of the energy balance for the entire building and breakdown by individual unit.

The ICI CALDAIE range for the commercial market includes: › Modular and base condensing boilers ranging from 32 to 3000 kW;

ICI CALDAIE FP 4/14.indd 4

in short

› Steel base boilers ranging from 22 to 3500 kW (flame inversion or 3 flue passes); › Solar installations; › Boilers; › Circulation unit; › Control panels; › Metering modules; › Services to manage and optimise heating systems by remote control.

INDUSTRIAL RANGE In the industrial market, the products offered vary in scale and range from steam boilers complete with burner and electronic control to turnkey heating plants, always giving priority to solutions with high energy efficiency.

Over the past few years, all ICI CALDAIE’s efforts have been aimed at pursuing a strategy of reducing pollutant emissions and consumption.

The design, construction and choice of accessories for ICI boilers are such as to provide the user with operational reliability and absolute safety with the best possible performance while respecting the environment.

With this view, special projects have been completed for the supply of elements designed for specific client needs: special projects for transportable central heating plants, water-tube boilers, heat exchangers for flue gas from biomass.

The ICI CALDAIE commercial offer for the industrial market includes: › Steam boilers ranging from 50 to 25,000 kg/h (high and low pressure, flame inversion or three flue passes); › Superheated water boilers ranging from 233 to 17,000 kW (flame inversion or three flue passes); › Diathermic oil heaters ranging from 116 to 9300 kW; › Heat generators ranging from 2500 to 20,000 kW (flame inversion or three flue passes); › Prefabricated central heating plant; › Global safety systems to avoid constant presence of the conductor; › Services to manage and optimise the operation of generators with remote control; › Services for installation and maintenance.

PRODUCTION CAPACITY

The production plant of ICI CALDAIE is located in the province of Verona, at the headquarters of the company, covering more than 30,000 square meters. The equipment and machinery are the most advanced, specialized in mass production, in steel processing including that of special steel such as stainless steel with Titanium necessary for the production of condensing generators,

and in the production of powerful individual generators on order.

Production is specialized in processing plasma cutting, robot welding, hot forming and processing of thick steel plate, shaping corrugated combustion chambers, all with the assistance of control systems such as welding X-rays, penetrating liquids and ultrasound.

These skills are combined with specialization in associated production capacity: laser or plasma cutting, punching, robot bending and laser welding in high volume.

The boilers manufactured are completely designed in-house by highly skilled engineers with the help of CAD stations and thermofluid dynamic algorithms, which are then validated in the Research and Development Laboratory where it is also possible to inspect high-power boilers. Thanks to these capabilities, about 7,000 boilers for commercial use and 700 industrial boilers are distributed each year worldwide, figures which make the production facility the largest in Europe for the production of steel boilers, both for commercial and industrial use.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Energy efficiency, environmental Sustainability and Cost Savings are the key points of the new era

ICI CALDAIE FP 4/14.indd 5

of technologies which ICI Caldaie S.p.A. aims to use to expand its core business.

Making the Central Heating Plant of its clients more efficient and providing a higher yield in terms of productivity and cost savings related to reduced consumption of fuels used in production processes is the focus of ICI Caldaie, maintained with a strong will and success.

Through technical and economic verification of the plant operation and management costs incurred by its clients and through the preparation of a Global Analysis of Energy efficiency, ICI CALDAIE is able to identify potential areas needing quick intervention and solutions that can be offered to meet the objectives identified.

In a historic moment like the present, ICI Caldaie wants to bet on the future economy of the country starting with the manufacturing companies, by offering them a service of overall Energy Efficiency Management.

QUALITY

Strong competitiveness in the international market, the elimination of customs barriers and demand that is increasingly oriented to high quality standards, have led ICI CALDAIE to develop a new culture of quality,

based on the belief that meeting the needs of the client and respect for stringent quality standards are prerequisites for the progress of companies.

In 1993, ICIM (Institute of Industrial Certification for Mechanics) certified the Quality Management System of ICI CALDAIE according to the Italian, European and international standard, UNI EN 29002 (IS0 9002); in June 2002, BVQI (Bureau Veritas Quality Insurance) awarded ISO 9001/94 to ICI CALDAIE and in April 2004, the ISO 9001/00 Vision was awarded.

All ICI CALDAIE models carry the CE mark according to the related standards. The high pressure boilers are built in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive (Directive for gas appliances and pressure vessels). The company also has multiple national certifications for export purposes to many countries that require very restrictive hydraulic and mechanical tests such as ASME “American Society for Mechanical Engineers” certificates.

The certifications awarded acknowledge the efforts made by ICI CALDAIE and inform the market that the methods adopted comply with international regulations to ensure the best quality standards.

In this context, the development of all new products in compliance with increasingly stringent European regulations for fuel consumption and emissions, is entrusted to a Research and Development laboratory equipped with modern tools to verify the reliability and performance of boilers.Each product is designed by the Engineering department and equipped with modern networked CAD stations.

The preparation of semi-finished products is done with laser cutters and CNC machines. The perfect welding of the elements is ensured by modern robots and each boiler is subjected to severe testing which certifies its reliability.

Rosa Catene: listens, evaluates and solves the Customer’s problems.

Mr Rosa, tell us something about your production.

Our Company was founded as a manufacturer of standard transmission roller chains. Changes in the market and mainly, competition with the Asian market for these products, brought us to invest in sectors with higher values where our great experience accumulated through the years can be better expressed with products, such as: special custommade chains for the food industry, chains suitable for particular working environments with high or low temperatures, self-lubricant chains which allow customers to completely avoid the use of polluting oils or grease and last but not least, which eliminate periodic maintenance, chains with special coatings which can range from simple galvanization

the pull or power to be transmitted) , but for its overall size. With the same pull, the chain is definitely narrower and it can generally utilize gears with lower pitch diameters.

What are the advantages of chain transmission

What are the characteristics of your products?

The main advantage of chain transmission is the possibility to transmit either small or large powers with the same level of safety, limited size and optimal performance. Another advantage is the high level of elasticity of the chain links and therefore the ability to neutralize the discontinuity of the transmission to a large extent and to mitigate “tears”.

Chain transmission , in comparison to belt transmission , takes up less space, not so much for the shafts and the supports (which depends on

Unlike belt transmission, the chain can operate without difficulty at relatively high temperatures with the only requisite being the use of suitable lubrication.

Standard configuration chains can work up to 180° C , something “standard” belts cannot do. There is also no slipping between the chain and the pinion teeth. Only a slight adjustment is present allowing the chains to transport heavier loads with respect to belt transmission.

Chain transmissions ensure long

working life. The chains are manufactured with materials, heat treatments or with special coatings to permit the chain to operate in difficult environments.

How do you select the chain that better suits the needs of a customer?

The solutions we suggest must be effective and must have the unique aim to solve the problem of an application. l’m not talking about miracles. l’m talking about competence.

Our readers mainly operate in the food industry. Others are suppliers of machinery and technologies. How do your products meet the needs of the food industry?

The co-operation takes piace in our technical department , depositary of ali our experience accumulated over decades.

The Customer indicates the relevant technical data of the requirements of the application and informs us about any eventual problems regarding the environment in which the chain will have to work. We examine the information and discuss ideas.

We try to find the weak points that we have to correct even with simple but perceptible improvements and then we choose the best solutions and offer our proposals. Then, the customer must decide which solution better suits his needs, taking into consideration the econimical side, which is also quite essential.

ROSACATENE FP 1/14.indd 4

Can you give us a real example of a benefit that your customer can take advantage of by using your products? lt is precisely the food industry that has considerable needs and performance requirements .

Our product has always been defined a “pollutant” in food plants because they are often full of dirt, oils and various lubricants that can affect the hygiene of the environment in which they work.

Our decision to intervene by putting “self-lubricant” chains on the market was based on these principles.

These chains, mentioned above, avoid any contamination and maintenance. The feedback has been extremely positive. We have customers who install the product and “forget” about it.

We solved many problems and many customers rewarded us with their loyalty.

Where do you manufacture your products? In what parts ofthe world do you export?

Our Company’s production site is in Calolziocorte in the Itaiian province of Lecco. We export about 60% of our products: ali over Europe, North Africa, Turkey, and Australia.

Tell us about your future projects.

Talking about pians for the future, in times like these, with this world wide economica! crisis and in particular with the Italian economy, is not easy.

We are investing in resources in new markets where we expect significant returns and we never stop developing new technologies that allow us to reduce the internai production costs.

Our Company has continually grown over the years and it has found its piace in the market. We trust in the future because we believe that the “best” will survive and we will be among them.

HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points = Gefahrenanalyse und kritische Kontrollpunkte) verfolgt das Ziel, Lebensmittelerkrankungen zu minimieren. Das Konzept fordert systematische Kontrollen, am häufigsten der Lebensmittel-Temperatur in der gesamten Kühlkette aber auch von pH-Werten oder des Frittieröls. Der technischen Überwachung inklusive Dokumentation kommt hierbei eine herausragende Bedeutung zu.

Messtechnik Innovationen müssen Branchenanforderungen erfüllen Der internationale MesstechnikHersteller Testo AG aus dem Schwarzwald hat sich sehr früh und umfassend auf die besonderen Rahmenbedingungen in der Lebensmittelbranche eingestellt.

Die Zielsetzung des Unternehmens, professionelle, schnelle und dennoch sichere Messlösungen für Lebensmittel anzubieten wurden jüngst von der Organisation HACCP International honoriert.

Als einziges Unternehmen in seiner Branche wurde die Testo AG für seine lebensmittelsicheren Messgeräte ausgezeichnet. Die Geräte wurden nach internationalen HACCP-Standards auf Herz und Nieren geprüft und als „food safe“ zertifiziert.

Eine Reihe anspruchsvoller Kriterien mussten dafür erfüllt werden: von der Prüfung des Materials auf Robustheit, auf sachgemäßes Design, das keinen Schmutz oder Keime auf Lebensmittel überträgt, der einfachen Reinigung bis hin zum nutzerfreundlichen Handling und der Dokumentationsmöglichkeit von Messdaten.

Für Betriebe der Branche bedeutet „food safe“ größtmögliche Sicherheit beim Einsatz der Messgeräte und bei der Temperaturüberwachung der Waren. Testo Temperatur-Messgeräte für Kontakt- und berührungslose Messung, der Frittieröltester sowie die Datenlogger-Familie und Testo Saveris haben die Prüfung bestanden und gelten als sicher bei Messungen an Lebensmitteln. „Unsere

hohen Ansprüche an die Qualität der Messgeräte ist die Basis für diesen Erfolg. Bei der Entwicklung der Geräte achten wir streng auf die Erfüllung der HACCP-Kriterien.

So schließen wir z.B. bewusst auch die Zulieferer in dieser Sparte ein, um einen durchgängigen Standard zu garantieren. Die Zertifizierung gemäß den Normen DIN EN ISO 13485 und 12830 versteht sich von selbst“, beschreibt Stephanie Knill, Produktmanagerin für TestoHandmessgeräte den Erfolg.

Was Messtechnik alles können muss Die Bedingungen, unter denen Lebensmittel-Messgeräte eingesetzt werden sind sehr vielfältig. In jeder Prozessphase die Lebensmittel durchlaufen – From Farm to Fork - müssen die HACCP-Kriterien erfüllt werden. Die Anforderungen in jedem einzelnen Bereich könnten dabei verschiedener nicht sein. Eines haben jedoch alle Prozessbereiche gemeinsam: die Arbeitsumgebung ist rau. Es wird unter großem Zeitdruck gearbeitet. Da kann ein Messgerät herunter fallen, bekommt Flüssigkeit oder Schmutz ab oder wird in der Hektik unsachgemäß bedient.

Robust- und Einfachheit Die konsequente Qualitätspolitik der Testo AG trägt diesen speziellen Rahmenbedingungen Rechnung.

Die Messgeräte sind entsprechend konzipiert. So z.B. das testo 104, ein Klappthermometer zur Kerntemperaturmessung mit einem äußerst robusten Metall-Klappgelenk. Die Möglichkeit, den Fühler nach der Messung einklappen zu können, macht das Gerät handlich und stabil. Oder testo 108, ein Temperatur-Messgerät mit Standard Einstechfühler, das mit nur zwei Tasten auskommt. Es ist so einfach zu bedienen, dass der Anwender keinerlei Vorkenntnisse mitbringen muss. Beiden Geräten können raue Arbeitsumgebungen nichts anhaben. Gleichzeitig entsprechen sie den HACCP-Kriterien in Sachen Hygiene, da sie unter fließendem Wasser gereinigt werden und sich Keime gar nicht erst entwickeln können.

Außerdem gibt es keine überflüssigen Funktionen welche die schnelle Messung verkomplizieren würden.

Ebenso muss die Messung nicht in irgendeiner Form lange vorbereitet werden. Selbst ungeübtes Personal kann diese Geräte intuitiv bedienen und sichere Messungen durchführen. Die Handhabung erschließt sich förmlich per Knopfdruck.

Präzision Neben der sehr hohen Belastbarkeit setzten die Schwarzwälder ihre Prioritäten auch auf die Präzision der Geräte. Diese müssen auch unter erschwerten Bedingungen, z.B. bei hohen Differenzen in der Umgebungstemperatur von einer Minute zur anderen, genau messen können. Denn die Frage die sich z.B. bei einer Stichprobenkontrolle der Temperatur stellt ist nicht nur ob die Ware die korrekte Temperatur aufweist, sondern ob der gemessene Wert tatsächlich auch der Realität entspricht. Testo Messgeräte räumen diese Zweifel aus. Sie sind kalibriert und durch die Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle (DAkkS) zugelassen - und nun auch ‚food safe‘.

Dokumentation Die HACCP-Kriterien zu erfüllen, bedeutet nicht nur regelmäßig zu messen. Wenn LebensmittelKontrolleure einen Betrieb prüfen, muss der Unternehmer die Einhaltung der Richtlinien jederzeit nachweisen können.

Dies äußert sich in der aufwändigen, oft manuellen Dokumentation von Messergebnissen.

Deshalb verfügen zahlreiche TestoMessgeräte über entsprechende Speichermöglichkeiten oder sogar PC-Software zur Datenauswertung und -protokollierung.

Optional können handliche Schnelldrucker angeschlossen und Messprotokolle noch direkt vor Ort erstellt werden. Der Anwender erhält dadurch ein hohes Maß an Sicherheit, den ordnungsgemäßen Zustand seiner Waren jederzeit belegen zu können. Datenlogger bspw. reisen beim Lebensmitteltransport in LKWs mit und zeichnen in fest definierten Abständen die Temperatur kontinuierlich auf. Kleinste Temperaturschwankungen während des Transports können so nachgewiesen werden. Die Ergebnisse können später auf dem PC ausgelesen werden. In großen Kühl- und

Lagerhäusern werden Funkfühler an den wichtigen Messstellen installiert und die gewonnenen Daten an Testo Saveris weitergeleitet.

Das System kann pro Messkanal 40.000 Messwerte speichern und erreicht eine Speicherkapazität, mit der ein Jahr lang alle 15 Minuten eine Messung erfolgen könnte.

Die Temperatur wird kontinuierlich überwacht und bei kleinsten Abweichungen ein Alarm ausgelöst. Die Einhaltung der Kühlkette wird nicht nur gewährleistet sondern ist auch nachweisbar. In großen Mengen gelagerte Ware wird so jederzeit optimal überwacht.

Nur Testo-Messgeräte auch „food safe“

sind

Rein technisch gesehen vermag heute fast jedes herkömmliche Messinstrument auf dem Markt die HACCP-Kriterien zu erfüllen, sofern sich der Anwender seiner Sorgfaltspflicht bewusst ist und entsprechend handelt.

Dabei auch absolut sichere Messungen an Lebensmitteln zu gewährleisten, das leisten nur wenige Geräte. „Die Anforderungen an Messgeräte sind in den letzten Jahren stetig gestiegen. Neben vielen anderen Faktoren die Messtechnik in diesem sensiblen Bereich erfüllen muss, achten wir auch auf die möglichst einfache Anwendung der Geräte. Wir begreifen dies als Grundvoraussetzung der Branche.

Wir wissen, dass Personal häufig wechseln kann und gestalten unsere Geräte so einfach und selbsterklärend wie möglich. Denn nur wenn ein Gerät richtig eingesetzt werden kann, erhält man auch sichere Ergebnisse“, sagt Stephanie Knill und ergänzt: „Wir sind stolz auf die HACCP International Zertifizierung und begreifen diese als Ansporn, unsere Messgeräte künftig noch sicherer zu machen. Der Branche werden wir auch in Zukunft mit immer neuen Innovationen ein zuverlässiger Partner sein.“

QUADRANT LAUNCHES BROADEST RANGE OF EU 10/2011 COMPLIANT STOCK SHAPES FOR FOOD INDUSTRY

Q

uadrant Engineering Plastic Products (EPP) has updated its range of Food Grade Plastics in line with the new European Union Regulation (EU) 10/2011. The move makes Quadrant EPP the first and only engineering plastics’ manufacturer to offer such a broad and fully-tested range of thermoplastic stock shapes complying with the regulation.

The portfolio of certified materials, covering PE through to PEEK, gives food producers the assurance of fulfilling the highest safety and quality levels for their food and beverage production systems. New Regulation (EU) 10/2011 is a further development of Directive 2002/72/EC for plastics materials in contact with food, and specifies much stricter test conditions for migration. Within the EU, compliance is required for all food contact materials.

All Quadrant EPP Food Grade semifinished stock shapes and customized finished parts are processed and handled according to the new regulation and to the consistent quality control guidelines of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). Quadrant EPP accompanies each delivery with complete documentation, from choice of raw material to finished parts. This allows

full traceability and also supports customers in reducing their own in-house product testing time and costs.

Customers receive a Declaration of compliance with the order (DCO) according to EN 10204-2.1 that ensures the uninterrupted traceability of the plastic product from the stock shape back to the raw material used by batch. Each production step is tested and documented by Quadrant EPP. Quadrant is also ahead of the market in introducing a Declaration of Compliance (DoC) for every delivery – a documentation requirement valid as of 2016 – that includes the complete test conditions together with the migration values of the materials.

Tests to determine the migration values of Quadrant EPP’s food contact polymer materials were conducted on the thermoplastic stock shapes by independent external laboratory Intertek. These tests were performed according to regulation (EU) 10/2011.

The portfolio of over 30 products was tested per Overall Migration Limit (OML) and Specific Migration Limit (SML) to measure the material inertness and provide a toxicological evaluation of individual substances.

By including the pre-tested results with the DoC, customers can more easily calculate migration values for

Quadrant Food Grade semi-finished stock shapes with Food Grade and traceability labels.

FT-NIR SPECTROSCOPY AS A FAST SCREENING METHOD FOR THE MEAT PROCESSING INDUSTRY

W

ithin the meat industry the continuous analysis of fresh meat and other ingredients is necessary in order to adapt the recipes to ensure a constant batch to batch quality of sausages and various types of meat products. Moreover, legislation bodies require consistent documentation based on accurate data. Therefore, an increasing demand of fast but reliable analytical tools can be observed which are able to replace the often time and labor consuming classical analyses like gravimetric fat determination or combustion method for protein content. The potential of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy was discovered in the 1960s first for the rapid characterization of agricultural products like grain. Today NIR is widely used in the food industry for non-destructive qualitative and quantitative analysis of raw materials, in-process materials, and finished products throughout the entire manufacturing process.

The FT-NIR technology offers a lot of advantages over classical wet-chemical and chromatographic analyses. It is very fast with analysis times below 30 seconds, cost-effective and safe,

since no hazardous chemicals are used.

It simply measures the absorption of near-infrared light of the sample at different wavelengths. The recorded NIR spectrum is characterized by absorbance bands of C-H, N-H or O-H groups in the different molecules, making NIR spectroscopy first choice for the analysis of natural materials like meat and sausage products for fat, protein, moisture and other main components. It will help to

homogenizing the meat or sausage by using a knife mill. These types of mill are usually available in the meat analysis lab already. The sample is then put into an open Petri dish and analyzed by placing it on the bench top FT-NIR spectrometer (Figure 1).

The use of modern fiber optic probe technology and contactless NIR measurement heads allows even the analysis of carcasses or complete hams without any sample preparation.

- produce a consistently high product quality - make the most efficient use of valuable raw materials - improve product efficiency and reduce downtime.

Analyzing raw meat

The sample preparation step for a reproducible NIR analysis is simply NAME

Meat can be a very complex raw material where small changes in external impacts like animal nutrition can lead to large variation in the final meat quality. The consumer however expects a consistent standard of quality of sausages and other meat products.

tant to know the exact composition of each incoming batch in order to adapt the recipes accordingly. Measuring the fat content of carcasses is also often a criterion for the value-based payment of the suppliers.

FT-NIR offers here a valuable tool for assessing the incoming material. The parameters fat, protein and moisture can be determined simultaneously with only one measurement. With the results, decisions can be taken on how to proceed with the production.

Table 1 shows typical results of NIR calibrations with RMSECV being the mean analytical error of the method.

The NIR analysis can of course not only take place in the laboratory or at-line. Often, the aim is, to measure continuously in the process, e.g. in a mixer, wolf or conveyor screw. The instant results can then be utilized to decide if making adjustments to a batch e.g. for total fat content is required.

Monitoring the final product quality In Germany alone, there are more than 1500 different types of sausages available in the shops, including fresh or fresh smoked, dry and cooked sausages. In addition a wide variation of hams is produced, including the famous Black Forest ham. By law it is

RAW SAUSAGES

COOKED SAUSAGES

Table 2: Calibration results of raw and cooked sausages required to determine the maximum amount of water, minimum amount of protein and total amount of fat in every type of sausage. Moreover, the salt content is of interest for the producer as well as for the customer.

FT-NIR spectroscopy has proven to be an efficient analysis method for the determination of moisture, fat, protein and salt content in various types of sausages. Table 2 shows an example of raw and cooked sausages, analyzed in the laboratory of a large German sausage producer.

Another big topic for the production of sausages is the optimization of shelf life. One critical parameter is the water activity (aw). It is defined as the amount of water available for microbial (e.g. bacteria, mold or yeast) growth. The larger the value is, the more likely the sausage is prone to decay. The Spanish institute for agrifood science IRTA (Institut Recerca Tecnològia Agroalimenta) confirmed in a successful study that water activity in e.g. fermented sausages (Figure 2) can be analyzed by FT-NIR spectroscopy with high accuracy alongside the determination of water and salt.

The study further suggested that FTNIR is appropriate for monitoring the dry curing process non-destructively in the production.

Compositional analysis of rendered products NIR analysis fermented sausages using a contactless measurement head

BRUKER FP 2/13.indd 4

Approximately 40-50% of the weight of any slaughtered animal is not fit for

human consumption. This material is mostly transformed by the rendering industry into highly nutritional ingredients for the animal feed production.

These include sources of energy like tallow or lard as well as protein rich material like meat and bone meal or poultry meal.

FT-NIR is well established for the analysis of edible fats of animal origin where parameters like the total fatty acid content as well as free fatty acids and iodine value can be analyzed simultaneously.

For animal meals the classical constituents like moisture, fat, protein, fiber and ash can be determined as well as more specialized parameters like energy values or amino acid profiles.

Conclusion With the growing global demand for meat and meat products it can be a challenge to keep the standard quality requested by the customers. FT-NIR Spectroscopy being able to provide analysis results in less than a minute has the potential to complement or even substitute a wide range of classical test methods for the quality assessment of meat and meat products in the laboratory as well as online.

DISCOVER AUDIT TRAIL PEACE OF MIND AT CIBUS TEC 2014

F

ood processors can discover a highly effective tool in the pursuit of audit conformance and optimum productivity with PUROLTM from ISO 21469:2006 certified manufacturer ROCOL®.

ROCOL was the UK’s first ISO 21469:2006 certified lubricants producer in 2010, and PUROL is the company’s first NSF-H1 and 3H registered food grade grease designed to deliver total safety assurance and cost savings through improved production efficiency.

Developed in response to increasingly strict auditor requirements from major food retailers, PUROL is a high performance, food grade grease which also acts as a release agent for use on processing machinery parts that come into direct contact with food – such as blades, guides, bearings and seals on mincer plates, mixers and slicers.

The product’s unique food-safe formulation helps engineers maintain equipment to the highest standard, offering a high performance alternative to rapeseed or vegetable oils.

PUROL presents a winning solution to face the dual challenge of ensuring compliance with critical safety standards whilst at the same time keeping production downtime to a minimum.

In addition to the important product-specific NSF-H1 and 3H registration, food processors have complete peace of mind in the knowledge that PUROL is manu-

ROCOL FP 6/2014.indd 3

factured by an ISO 21469:2006 certified company, which means it has been subjected to stringent and rigorous hygiene and safety testing.

ROCOL account manager, Giovanni Balestra, says: “Grease adheres better than oil so PUROL acts as a very effective release agent to stop food sticking to machinery during the production process.

NSF-H1 demonstrates PUROL’s safety for incidental food contact and 3H registration confirms it is safe to use in direct contact with meat and poultry where sticking is an issue.

But ROCOL products also offer a third important layer of safety assurance, which is recognised by auditors, as we are the UK’s first ISO 21469:2006 certified lubricants manufacturer.

“PUROL offers all the cost saving potential and performance benefits that engineers throughout the world have come to associate with ROCOL products – extended bearing life, reduced equipment failure and downtime – and PUROL stands head and shoulders above current solutions as a pioneering product for the meat processing industry.”

The product is backed by the strong technical support that ROCOL has become renowned for throughout the food and drink processing industry.

Through a team of technical support staff and service engineers, ROCOL delivers flexible and responsive support across all

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, orangepineapple, 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 to: 1. Decrease processing times 2. Minimize oxidation of the juice 3. Keep high organolectic characteristics  Optimize CIP system to control the

BERTUZZI FP 3/13.indd 3

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), in 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 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 etc. 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…

CUSTOMISABLE COOLING SOLUTIONS

I

n the space of just 10 years the Italian-based cooling devices manufacturer Zanotti group has more than doubled annual profits, thanks to a successful business plan which was introduced right after the company’s privatisation in 2002. Today the group is ready to exploit the full potential of new markets by extending its international influence as a global player.

The Zanotti group designs, develops, manufactures and tests refrigeration equipment for food storage and for industrial purposes, including cooling devices for transporting foodstuff. As a world leader in the production of air treatment and cooling solutions, the Italian company puts its success down to a number of key factors, including technological improvement and the introduction of customisable solutions for the needs of each customer.

One of the company’s key tactics has been to find the best practical application for the cooling devices.

It is very important in the refrigeration sector to meet the particular needs of each customer. Techno-

zanotti FP 3/2013.indd 3

logical research is another of Zanotti’s strong points. With over 50 years of specialist experience, we are proud to say that our know-how is reflected in our products and everything we do.

The firm was founded as a familyowned company in 1962. From the

very beginning the group has developed its potential as a leader in the field of refrigeration, by introducing new and revolutionary solutions such as, for example, the so-called ‘Uniblock®’ – a completely selfcontained and ready-to-use cooling device for small environments. The company soon began to specialise in the production of domestic and non-domestic refrigeration devices for food preservation, and in the meantime its refrigerating systems became bigger and bigger so as to meet the increasing demand of industries. During the 1990s, this trend led to the creation of big multicompressor plants to meet the needs of large-scale retail trade. In the same period, Zanotti also introduced a new line of products for transports – the so-called ‘Transblock®’.

In the past seven years, the Italian company has seen enormous growth. Today it employs 650 people distributed over eight plants located all around the world. Many things have changed since 2000.

Zanotti has become a public company, and the new management has introduced a revolutionary busi-

24/06/13 13.52

PRESERVING INDUSTRY VEGETABLE

ness plan. Thanks to this new plan, the company’s development process has accelerated: for instance, in 2002 our annual turnover was only €30 million, but in 2012 it had reached €104 Million.

It is particularly important for the Zanotti group to offer its customers only the best solutions in terms of quality. That’s way the company has been certified according to the ISO 9001 standard since 1996. Moreover, every single product manufactured by Zanotti in each part of the world is certified according to local parameters for quality, such as the CE parameters in the European countries and the UL parameters in the US. The cooling devices made by the Italian company can be subdivided into two categories: fixed and transport devices. The first category includes uniblocks, multicompressor plants, condensing units and refrigeration devices for food preservation, while the other category includes diesel uniblocks, battery drive split units and others especially designed for trailer devices.

Up to 10 years ago we only manu-

zanotti FP 3/2013.indd 4

factured fixed devices; then we decided it was time to diversify and we started to make transport devices as well. In hindsight, the decision was very wise. Today, in fact, the two lines of production are equally important for the Group, since their growth rate is just the same. Moreover, transport devices were the natural completion of what we call ‘the chain of cold’, which includes all kinds of cooling devices from the initial storage process to the final transport itself. We are proud to give our customers the possibility to choose the cooling devices that mostly meet their needs. And this is definitely our most exclusive feature.

So, customer care is an essential feature to Zanotti. The key factor is investing in research, that’s because in our sector it’s not important how powerful or well-balanced the cooling device is, but how much the device meets the customer’s requirements. In more than 50 years of activity we have developed a sort of ‘applied know-how’ for our products. But this has only been made possible by our continuous

MEAT

investments in research and development. The R&D Department is big and well-organised, and takes care of Zanotti’s applied technological improvement.”

Today Zanotti Spa is an Internation Group with production plants is Spain, England, Brazil, China and India. And its counts on a strong network of vertified suppliers who provide expertise and assistance worldwide.

In fact, Zanotti’s sales chain covers something like 70 countries worldwide. We are currently exporting 82 per cent of our production, which means that foreign markets are fundamental to our economic growth. Our presence in the European markets is strong, since we have sales points almost everywhere in Europe.

The know-how Zanotti acquired over 50 years also concerns the environmental aspects involved since the products are developed to provide low energy consumptions (BESTCOP®) and reduced noise levels; as to meet the current technological trends that aim to contain greenhouse gas emissions.

PET: AN EXCELLENT ALTERNATIVE

P.E.T. Engineering presents projects proposing PET as an alternative to glass, aluminium and HDPE at last Brau Beviale 2014.

I

n the course of the last year, as well as winning many awards in recognition of its low environmental impact packaging creations, P.E.T Engineering has also worked on projects which could help people to see PET as a valid alternative to glass, aluminium and HDPE both in terms of mechanical performance and appearance.

At Brau Beviale 2014 P.E.T. Engineering introduced four projects which have seen designers and engineers committed to developing packaging with a premium appearance using PET, a material which is usually used for bulk products with a limited aesthetic appeal and chosen principally for its low weight, unbreakability and affordability advantages.

The packaging proposed was thus born from a desire to ennoble PET by studying accessory elements such as labels and over packaging in order to create not single shapes but product systems capable of reconfiguring popular perceptions

PET ENGINEERING FP.indd 3

of PET bottles in the minds of bottlers and end consumers. Twins, Hero, Diva and Valley will show that it is possible to make a container of great shelf-appeal together with excellent mechanical, unbreakability and, above all, affordability performance.

P.E.T. Engineering is also partner to Petnology, the yearly conference which is sub- divided into three themed cycles which take place at the same time this year and offers top experts in the supply chain and bottlers the opportunity to discuss the future of packaging and the challenges which the PET industry faces.

Inline measurement of cold wort Process analysis in breweries

W

hile in the brewhouse of a brewery the wort is produced from malt, water and hops, the preparation of the wort for the following fermentation is performed in the downstream fermenting room. In order to avoid building beer-spoiling microorganisms, the hot wort must achieve the pitching temperature as soon as possible. Typically, the hot wort will be cooled down to 7 to 9°C so that the yeast can ferment efficiently. Most of the breweries use closed cooling systems. A plate heat exchanger (plate cooler) consisting of thin, closely spaced metal plates ensures the rapid cooling. They are alternatively passed through wort and cooling water.

This process causes a cold break with tiny particles in the first plain wort. The turbidity has an influence on the velocity of fermentation and maturation, because particles attach themselves to the yeast cells that become smeared. Repeated use of yeast, the cold break

SENSOTECH FP 5/13.indd 3

will be removed to avoid an increasing smearing. In addition, the velocity of fermentation depends on the oxygen content in the wort.

The ventilation of the cold wort for increasing yeast occurs only once during the entire beer production with a targeted oxidation. Sterile air is atomized finely and mixed with cold wort in a turbulent manner.

The oxygen consumption is caused by the yeast and does not influence the wort quality.

When the cold wort leaves the cooling chamber, the actual beer production with fermentation, maturation and filtration is taking place.

Before starting this process, an inline measurement of cold wort concentration is offered for ensuring process safety and optimal wort quality.

In addition, the inline measurement provides a reliable wort-water-separation in case of rinsing processes.

In order to cope with these tasks, the Colbitzer Heidebrauerei decided to use the inline measuring

LiquiSonicÂŽ Plato measuring point in the cooling chamber of the Colbitzer Heidebrauerei

EQUIPMENT

Immersion type sensor and controller of the inline measuring system “LiquiSonic® Plato“ system called LiquiSonic® Plato manufactured by the company SensoTech.

In this case, an immersion type sensor with Varivent connection was installed after the cooler directly in a DN50 pipe by meeting the requirements of hygienic and bypass-free installation. (picture 1) “Before mixing the wort with yeast („pitching“), it is important to check the original gravity content again due to quality reasons. If this is ensured, the beer production can run in the fermenting room. Additionally, valuable liter of beer can be gained by detecting an overdosing, explains Brew Master, Birgit Diesing. “But also the exact phase separation of first and last running is mandatory.”

The immersion type sensor of the LiquiSonic® Plato system is completely made of stainless steel and is working maintenance-free for a long period.

A special highly efficient technology provides reliable measuring values even at high contents of gas bubbles. The determination of concentration is based on the sonic veloci-

SENSOTECH FP 5/13.indd 4

ty measurement that guarantees a precise, drift- and failure-free measurement.

With the help of a proven mathematic model, it is possible to calculate precisely the wort concentration resulting from the value of sonic velocity. The controller included in the system performs the calculation.

Controller and sensor are connected via a bus cable, whereas the controller can handle up to four sensors and so four measuring points can be connected. Further inline measurements of original gravity are possible, for example, at the lauter tun, wort boiler, filter or filler. (picture 2) The controller visualizes the measuring data and is used for making settings and configurations done by the user. The TFT color display with high contrast enables an intuitive and clearly structured menu navigation.

Calibration can also be performed, even by remote access to the controller via modem or Internet. This remote access option allows the user to monitor and configure the system from everywhere.

The controller can manage up to 256 types of beer with the appropriate calculation models. For each type of beer, it is possible to define a tolerance range with displaying an alarm in case of exceeding the limits. When connecting the controller to the PCS, measures can be taken afterwards.

Process trends can be monitored with the trend view provided by the device. It is connected to data log that stores up to 15,000 datasets.

Therefore, processes and measuring values are documented traceably and can be analyzed afterwards.

The Colbitzer Heidebrauerei installed a controller with a stainless steel housing.

“Not only the high measuring accuracy of ± 0.05 °Pl and the reliability of LiquiSonic® Plato convinced us, but also the user friendliness. After installation of the sensor, the controller showed immediately the actual wort concentration. We are so satisfied that we decided to install further measuring points, for example, at the filler for monitoring and controlling the phase separation“, emphasizes Birgit Diesing.

Recycling: bottle washing machine.

At high production bottling rates, today must be a high degree of specialization of the related processes. The washing of recycled bottles, for example, is increasingly performed with technologically advanced machines.

I

n the beverage industry, the automatic washing of recycled bottles has now reached a high level of specialization. In this context, works AKOMAG, company located in Soragna (PR), able to offer a varied production, which includes bottle washing machine, rinsing machine, sterilizers for glass or PET bottles, crate washer and accessories to complement.

Very large is the choice of the washer, the potential of which obviously varies in base at the model, and the ranges it is from 100 to 50.000 bph.

The modular structure of all installations allows to gradually increase the functions and the level of sophistication, including special washing sections and sanitizing, automatic control of process parameters, security systems, energy recovery, reduction of discharges and automatic sanitization of the parties most important from the point of view of hygiene.

Akomag FP 2/14.indd 3

Start the washing.

At low production capacity, the range offer GENESI, available in very small dimensions in order to be inserted in any operating environment. Designed under the indication of the producers with low production capacities, the series has a simple but functional washing cycle, which lowers operating costs (water, energy, detergent) without negatively affecting cleaning bottles to recycle, the complete removal of the labels and their total evacuation outside. The particular ease of use and maintenance, increases productivity and reduces downtime.

The modularity of the GENESI series allows at the customer to “build a machine to measure” , adapting it from time to time to different types of use (water, wine, oil, beer, soft drinks).

Constructed in accordance with the Machinery Directive (CE), is equipped with all the accessories needed for the proper functioning:

a heat exchanger built with stainless steel tubes arranged geometrically to prevent the deposit of mud or various precipitation that would compromise the performance or, alternatively, a combustion chamber built with direct burner operation.

Safety guards and dust cover to protect the unloading of bottles; grouped grease; saving valve for the water network and automatic control of the presence of water in the last rinsing station; electronic speed control; electronic security on the main gearbox that stop the machine in case of overload; spray pumps with casing and impeller made in stainless steel AISI 316 and protective filters; valves for emptying the waste paper and spray tanks; control panel adjustable, made in stainless steel; IP55 electrical plant; gauges and thermometers in visual range of the operator; setting and control of all the machine by “touchscreen”. This are the main amenities that characterize the series.

The GENESI machine is also arranged for the introduction of detergent and liquid additives in the bath and in the detergent tank, disinfectants and other products in the spraying tanks.

Internal spraying (made with selfcleaning rotating nozzles) and external high pressure spraying are easily removable for routine cleaning and maintenance. The loading and unloading of bottles is completely automatic, and perfectly synchronized with the movement of the main chain.

Dry cycle.

To streamline the washing cycle , the company has realized the HYDRA series, a series of fully automatic machines which comprise a first station for emptying the bottles followed by pre-washing spraying and first pre-maceration bath.

This configuration helps to reduce the pollution of the detergent bath and reduce fuel consumption. The triple station for labels extracting ensures their complete detachment from used bottles, while the rotating filter displaced over the entire width of the machine ensures the evacuation outside.

The bottle washing is complete with indoor and outdoor spraying, which occurs with high-pressure cleaner distributed with rotating nozzles self-cleaning and self-centering. To complete rinsing, however, ensure the phase abatement alkalinity followed by spraying with external and internal water network.

Built according to the Machinery Directive (CE) also, the series has a different predispositions that increase safety, including: sensors for slowing down and eventually stopping the machine in case of failure or obstruction of bottles on conveyor; detergent introduction and liquid additives in the bath and other products in spray tanks; the automatic loading and unloading of

the bottles is perfectly synchronized with the movement of the main chain; the economizer valve for the water network and the automatic control of the presence of water on the last rinsing station.

Other amenities are important, as: automatic resetting of the chutes for loading and unloading bottles from the control panel; grouped grease; electronic variable speed with remote control (inverter); setting and control of all the machine by “touch-screen�; self-centering and self-cleaning rotating spray at high pressure; external spraying easily removable for cleaning and maintenance; valves for emptying baths and spraying tanks; control panel made in stainless steel; IP55 electrical plant; gauges and thermometers in visual range of the operator.

At the bottles unloading are arranged safety guards and dust protection. The electronic safety on every gearbox allows at the machine to stop in case of overload. The heat exchanger and pumps are always made in stainless steel.

via control systems. The tubes of external washing are constructed so as to reduce maintenance to a minimum. But in case it will be necessary, the dismantling and cleaning are very simple. The regulation of the temperature in the tanks is automated through a modulating proportional pneumatic system, which offers a guarantee of accuracy and safety of operation. The main motor, oversized, ensures a long lasting efficiency by minimizing the mechanical wear. The electronic variable frequency allows to manage the main engines installed in HYDRA HP series via remote control. The automatic press for the collection of labels evacuated from the detergent bath is full of a recovery system of the detergent solution that accumulates in the pressing phase.

AKOMAG has dedicated several years to the creation of bottle washing machines and the high quality standard achieved by all its production, advanced technology and timely after-sales service, has allowed at this company to come in several primary and manufacturing with the certainty of having created a safe machinery and Quality for Various needs.

This undertaking was given by all its facilities, from design to engineering, from the search for the most innovative materials to the constant testing of the products in the works.

Returnable bottles, nicer, stronger, longer…

For beer, soft drink and mineral water manufacturers, the appearance of glass bottles is paramount wherever the drink is served: in bars, restaurants and stores. The look of bottles impacts the brand image and its commercial performance.

Products developed by Arkema, Kercoat® and Opticoat®, dedicated in the protection of glass bottles, address this issue, and help bottlers extend the lifetime of their bottle fleet, with significant savings as a result.

Explanations by Julien Verron, Global Business Manager Glass Coatings for Returnable bottles at Arkema.

D

RINK: What does your range of coatings for glass bottles entail?

Julien Verron - Arkema offers a unique expertise in the returnable glass bottle coating market with two complementary product ranges: Kercoat®, which protects the bottles and keeps them looking new for longer, and Opticoat®, which masks the scuffing and white rings that build up on bottles every cycle of use.

Building on our 30 years’ experience in glass coatings, we were the first to launch this innovative solution some ten years ago.

We noticed that, after a number of cycles of use, returnable bottles were becoming more fragile and losing their appeal to consumers.

By ensuring that bottles retain an attractive look for a longer period of time, our products contribute to maintaining a positive impact on the buying act of final consumers.

ARKEMA FP 6/14.indd 3

D - Your solutions bank on the look of bottles, so aren’t they marketing products?

J.V - Marketing experts know very well that the look of a bottle is very important to seduce consumers.

Nowadays, with the growing number of cycles for returnable bottles, scuffing caused by repeated contact between bottles, in particular during filling and transport, is unavoidable. Any deterioration in their appearance can result in a significant loss of business. Our experience has shown us that after an average of 10 cycles, non treated bottles no longer match the expectation of final consumers.

Our solutions eneable fillers to maintain the attractive look of the bottles until 50 cycles of use. Just like the label and the design of the bottle, the aesthetic quality of the glass support is of particular importance in the buying act.

D – Clearly, using attractive bottles does have marketing benefits for bottlers, but are there also cost benefits?

J.V - Our Kercoat® and Opticoat® products are invisible to the naked eye, but we know that they enhance the look of bottles and then influence the sales.

Moreover, there is proven genuine

30/12/14 10:25

BOTTLING

PLANTS

benefits for our customers with the increase of reuse cycles of treated bottles, from 20 to 50 on average.

Hence bottlers do not need to renew their bottle fleet as often, and to significantly reduce the new glass bottle purchases.

D – Are your Kercoat® and Opticoat® products intended for bottlers of beverages or for bottle manufacturers?

J.V – Our customers are brewers, soft drinks and mineral water producers present in every country where the principle of returnable glass bottles is in place, i.e. in most countries.

Our solutions are gaining more and more success due to the economical, marketing and environmental benefits they bring. As of today, France and the United States are the only two major countries that no longer use returnable bottles on

EQUIPMENT

the consumer market. This trend could soon be reversed thanks to change of mind as regard to environmental issues. We have recently noticed that returnable bottles are now again considered as serious options by politicians and as an alternative to PLET bottles. Therefore the potential for development is huge!

D – Can your « protective » and «masking » solutions help bottlers achieve a more eco-responsible stance with their glass containers?

J.V – Absolutely so, we can now actually see an emerging trend in major brands to strive to consume less packaging, recycle it better, or reuse it better.

By joining the Carlsberg Circular Community, Arkema wants to be part of this approach thanks to its Kercoat® and Opticoat® prod-

ucts with the aim of minimising the volume of waste produced in the packaging sector. Today, leading beverage brands are putting in place sustainable development programmes that seek to reduce their environmental footprint by consuming less raw material, in particular via their glass packaging. Our coatings are riding the wave of this fundamental social trend: by extending the lifetime of bottles, they represent a credible and effective solution for bottlers eager to consume less glass packaging.

D – In which countries are you present and how do you operate?

J.V – We enjoy a global commercial and technical presence. Our experts are involved from the audit of filling lines and the precise requirements of our customers based on the shape of their bottles, right down to the installation of our equipment on their bottling lines.

Our equipment is adapted to each specific line and is custom-designed to meet the specific expectations from our customers.

SLEEVES ADD A HYPNOTIC SPARKLE TO LIQUEUR High impact sleeves from CCL Decorative Sleeves have been used for the packaging of a limited edition sparkling version of Hpnotiq Liqueur.

Developed especially for the holiday season, Hpnotiq Sparkle has the same colour and taste as the original Hpnotiq but is infused with bubbles to create a festive cocktail. Sleeves provided an effective means of establishing a stylish image for the new variant within the required timescales, while maintaining and reflecting the same premium positioning for the brand.

The technically-challenging sleeve design features an opaque white base to provide a strong background for the Hpnotiq Sparkle branding against the blue drink.

The remainder of the sleeve uses clear film incorporating a silver hologram effect to convey the sparkling festive nature of the drink while enabling its familiar blue colour to be clearly visible to retain consumer recognition and loyalty.

4K5 50 micron High Shrink PET was selected for the

ARKEMA FP 6/14.indd 4

controllability of the shrink curve in order to ensure a tight fit around the distinctively-shaped bottle. The sleeve is gravure printed in four colours with a surface lacquer to create a high quality finish and maximise on-shelf appeal.

CCL Decorative Sleeves worked closely with the design company, filler and packer in the successful development of the project.

“Hpnotiq Sparkle builds on a strong Hpnotiq brand franchise, so it was essential that the packaging reflected all the core values of the original,” comments Brittany Capito, senior brand manager, Hpnotiq Liqueur. “We are delighted with the finished result.”

Anuga FoodTec 2015: Robots have become indispensable in food and beverage production Robots ensure efficiency and reliability Food processing places special demands on robot technology

T

he world of robotics is currently facing another breakthrough: small, lightweight, comfortable and above all, flexible - that’s how engineers envisage the industrial lightweight robots of the future. The greatest revolution, however, will be the direct cooperation between man and machine without a separating safety fence.

The advances in automation cannot be overlooked at the Anuga FoodTec show held 24-27 March 2015 in Cologne, Germany. In the future, these “steel colleagues” of the food industry will be able to do more complex tasks than is the case today.

The TV series Real Humans shows what happens when people and robots live together. So-called Hubots (human robots) are capable of learning and used as domestic servants or factory workers. Real Humans looks into the future, but mirrors reality: because the robots have left their safety cage. A symbol of this is “Frida,” a concept study by ABB. Equipped with two arms that each have seven degrees of freedom respectively, the robot can be implemented in workplaces that are actually reserved for people.

The “third hand” in production Human-robot collaboration is currently the trend par excellence. It stands for the smooth transition from industrial robotics towards service robotics. Thanks to their torque sensors in all axes, the robots have

the necessary flexibility not to hurt people. These should now allow processes to be automated that have not been automatable at all so far.

One example is the TX2 series sixaxis robots from Stäubli Robotics.

They have managed to “integrate safety features that let us realize new possibilities in man-machine collaboration,” emphasizes Stäu-

bli’s Chief Financial Officer Manfred Hübschmann. The closed structure of the robot series and its design with IP65 protection - the wrist is held in IP67 and thus waterproof predestine the TX2 series for use designed to meet cleanroom and hygiene requirements.

By expanding their small robotics series, the key players of the indus-

try underline their ambition to grow in markets beyond the automotive industry.

179,000 robots were sold worldwide in 2013. “A new record,” as Arturo Baronecelli, President of the International Federation of Robotics, points out. After South Korea and Japan, Germany has the highest robot density: with an average of 261 robots for every 10,000 workers. At present, the global market for robotics is 22 billion Euros. By 2020 this could grow to more than 60 billion Euros. Experts like Henrik Ryegard, who heads the Robotics Division at ABB, regard the food industry as one of the largest markets - robot density here is still well below the average.

Hurdles in food production The main driving force behind the use of robots is economical: the machines replace expensive human labour. This is not without problems per se because the food industry is a challenging environment. So far robots have particularly dominated in non-critical areas, such as palletising and packing stations. Five or six-axis industrial robots are ideal tools to do these kinds of monotonous and often demanding tasks in a reliable manner.

Special protective covers provide protection under arctic conditions which prevail in warehouses for frozen foods.

conferences

Other requirements apply for any contact with open foodstuffs. In this case, not only must hygienic safety satisfy higher expectations but the mechatronic equipment of the robots as well.

“Pastries, meats, vegetables and sweets vary in quality and size,” is how Dr. Knut Franke from the German Institute of Food Technologies in Quakenbrück describes the problem in a nutshell. He cites an example: “Automatic fine-cutting of pork requires very sophisticated sensor technology.” The algorithms that Franke and his team are currently developing for the robot movements should enable automatic cutting of pieces of meat and contribute to a more efficient production of safer meat products in the future.

Through the interaction of software, controller and mechanical systems, robots can pack almost any food today. Thus, Unilever, for example, uses the as these, more than just “tactile dexterity” is required from the robots when gripping: hygiene aspects are high on the agenda.

The robots and their tools may not provide entry points for dirt and bacteria. They also need to be washable and resistant to disinfectants. This explains the popularity of robots made of stainless steel in protection class IP67 or higher.

It will take some time for humanlike “Hubots” from Real Humans.

But, in the near future, robots will be performing increasingly complex mechanised tasks. This will create new opportunities for the food industry, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises. This is not always a matter of automating the entire production - semi-autonomous systems, as can be seen at the Anuga FoodTec show, often provide the greater benefit.

Future-oriented topics are also addressed in Anuga FoodTec’s professional program. The DLG will thus address topical issues in 27 short specialist forums.

Among other things, technical topics will be the focus of attention like hygienic design, freezing technology, the use of robots in the food industry or the detection of foreign material in foodstuffs.

ProSweets Cologne: the trade fair for manufacturing processes and packaging Packaging for sweets: naturalness and elegance are persuasive Numerous companies present solutions and technologies for the products of tomorrow

A

s the world’s only trade fair for sweets and snacks, from 1 to 4 February 2015 in Cologne, ProSweets Cologne offers manufacturers a precisely- tailored information and ordering platform for all matters concerning manufacturing processes and packaging. In parallel to the ISM – International Sweets Trade Fair – more than 300 suppliers from about 30 countries present innovations as well as new solutions and technologies.

One of the focal themes is the subject of packaging. The trends of the sector, quality, function and design will be presented and discussed at ProSweets Cologne. At the same time, trade visitors from the industry can develop new ideas and approaches together with the suppliers.

When it comes to snacking, consumers don’t just grab the first thing they see – quite the opposite: many snackers now take ecological aspects into consideration as well as taste and enjoyment. True to the motto “What has been sustainably produced should also be sustainably packaged”, more and more bio and fair trade purchasers are placing value on bio-packaging.

It serves as a communicator for environmentally-friendly and fair trade products, and sets new challenges for sweets manufacturers. Choosing the right packaging material is moving into the focus of branding.

PROSWEET FP 6/2014.indd 3

The global market for sustainable packaging will reach 244 billion US dollars by 2018, according to market research by the consultancy company Smithers Pira. In accordance with the study The Future of Sustainable Packaging, demand and global legislation are the most important drivers for development – wherein there is much debate about the definition of what sustainable packaging actually is.

Ecological far-sightedness pays off One way of packaging ecologically is to use less material by minimising size and weight. This trend towards smaller sizes is known as “lightweight”, and is distinguished by fibre packaging. A renunciation of material that pays off – from the cardboard manufacturer via the folding box manufacturer and

sweets producer right up to the retailer. A reduction in box weight of 15 per cent corresponds to a reduction in CO2 footprint of 18 per cent.

If a box is used that is 25 grams per cubic metre lighter, in the case of 100,000 biscuit packs per year, as much carbon dioxide is saved as a car produces in 1,000 kilometres. A specialist in the field of “lightweight” boxes is, for example, the company Metsä Board, which will be exhibiting in Cologne in February.

Also in demand are raw materials that are renewable or that can more easily be recycled. Many packaging designers rely on bioplastics such as biodegradable films based on cellulose. Nowadays, wax paper – the classic packaging material for the turn and fold packaging used in the case of sweets – is biodegradable, thanks to modified vegetable

oils. Renewable materials are also used e.g. for the inner coatings of packaging, such as the “Candy Cups” from Stora Enso. A good example of these are the products from the Swiss company PAWI, which offers e.g. innovative inlay systems for pralines.

But will all of these aspects, one thing must not be ignored: packaging must protect the product. If product waste increases in line with savings on packaging material because stability suffers, the trick is to precisely balance the environmental benefit. For confectionery manufacturers, the question is: when is it worth using lower material thicknesses and their associated carbon dioxide saving? Packaging experts have gained positive experiences e.g. with double- skin designs featuring inner collars or other resealable functions.

and resealed, remain popular in the case of In terms of the styling of confectionery, one thing is needed in the check-out area: striking colours and shapes. Bright and colourful ideas are as much in demand as the trend towards “less is more”.

For premium products, manufacturers are relying more and more on simplistic design, especially in the case of chocolates and pralines.

Here, understatement, perhaps achieved by a simple black or white, denotes e.g. enjoyment with class.

Combined with embossed or lacquered metal effects, the finish of folded boxes ensures that people will notice products on the shelves.

Shimmering textures such as silver, gold, copper and rust, that can be applied to the rigid cartons via film or relief printing, are popular.

Under the direction of Professor Jenz Großhans, the “FutureLab” of students from the Köln International School of Design will again be working on packing concepts for sweets and snacks. Exhibitors from both ProSweets Cologne and ISM will be able to submit proposals for topics before the fairs start. The results and interim results will be presented to the public three times a day. We will clearly communicate all results on a special website.

More information: www.prosweetscologne.com In conjunction with ISM, the International Sweets and Biscuits Fair Cologne, ProSweets Cologne covers the entire value chain in confectionery production – an internationally unique constellation. ProSweets Cologne is conceptually sponsored by the Federal Association of the German Confectionery Industry (BDSI), Sweets Global Network e.V. (SG), the German Agricultural Society (DLG e.V.) and the Central College of the German Confectionery Industry (ZDS). Information about ISM: www.ism-cologne.com

Attractive finishing excels Resealability of products remains in fashion, as do easy-opening properties as a convenience aspect. Products that reflect the modern lifestyle are in demand. Fast and easy, enjoyable anywhere and at any time, satisfies the on-the-go trend.

Die IPACK-IMA und ihre zeitgleich stattfindenden Messen belegen mit circa 2.500 Ausstellern und erwarteten 100.000 Besuchern das Gelände von Fieramilano praktisch komplett.

Präsident der Veranstaltung, die traditionsgemäß einen hochrangingen Vertreter der Verbraucherwelt vorsieht, wird nach Alberto Bauli im Jahr 2009 und Paolo Barilla im Jahr 2012 nun Marco Pedroni, Vorsitzender der Coop Italia sein.

Auch auf der nächsten Veranstaltung wird die hohe internationale Bedeutung der IPACK-IMA unterstrichen durch die Zusammenarbeit mit UNIDO (der Organisation für industrielle Entwicklung) und den FAO-Beratungsstellen der Vereinten Nationen, in Form eines gemeinsamen Kongresses zu „Processing & Packaging Innovation for a Sustainable Development”, an dem sich auch die EXPO beteiligt. Der Kongress soll am 20. Mai 2015 zum Thema Nachhaltigkeit stattfinden, dem Leitmotiv der Begleitevents aller Veranstaltungen im Jahr 2015.

Dies wird die dritte Veranstaltung der IPACK-IMA mit dieser hochrangigen Zusammenarbeit sein, die 2009 mit dem Kongress „More technology, safety & quality, less hunger” startete und sich 2012 mit dem internationalen Symposium „Enhancing Food Safety and Food Security in African Countries. Packaging & Processing Technologies from the Farm’s Gate to the Consumer Table” fortsetzte.

anstaltung sind alle führenden Unternehmen des Bereichs mit dabei, in Bestätigung der letzten Konjunkturdaten der Ipack-Ima-Beobachtungsstelle zu diesem Wirtschaftssektor, die von Marktwachstum und -dynamik künden. Thema der neuen internationalen Veranstaltung der Ipack-Ima Spa sind die Technologien und Produkte für die Verarbeitung, Konservierung, das Packaging und den Vertrieb von Fleisch.

Die Ausstellung findet vom 19. bis 23. Mai 2015 auf der Fieramilano statt, zeitgleich zu der großen IPACKIMA, die eine große Neuheit für die Verarbeitung von „Frischprodukten” und den entsprechenden Technologien präsentiert: denn die Meat-Tech entstand als Neben-Veranstaltung der IPACK-IMA, zusammen mit den beiden Direktmessen FRUITECH als Fachmesse für Obst- und Gemüseverarbeiter und DAIRYTECH als Technikmesse für die Milch- und Käseindustrie. In den Ausstellungshallen wird einer der dynamischsten Sektoren in der Lebensmittelverarbeitung und im Großhandel umfassend präsentiert sein, wo sich neue Konsumverhaltensmodelle abzeichnen: Denn „Frischprodukte” machen neue, spezielle Verpackungsmethoden mit neuen Technologien erforderlich.

Die Schirmherrschaft über die neue Direktmesse haben wichtige Organisationen übernommen: Assica, der Verband der industriellen Fleisch- und Wurstverarbeiter – der die Meat-Tech 2015 als Referenzveranstaltung für das technologische Up-Dating auserkoren hat - und Assofoodtec, der Italienische Verband der Maschinen-, Anlagen und Ausrüstungshersteller für die Produktion, die Verarbeitung und Konservierung von Lebensmitteln.

Jetzt schon sind mehr als 60% der verfügbaren Flächen von Ausstellern reserviert, unter denen keines der namhaften Branchenunternehmen fehlt. Eine wichtige Tatsache ist die erhebliche Anzahl von Ausstellern,

die sich für die Investition in große Stände entschieden hat, was das lebhafte wirtschaftliche Klima in diesem Sektor, das sich aus der jüngsten Untersuchung der Ipack-ImaBeobachtungsstelle ergab, bestätigt.

Nach Angaben der Beobachtungsstelle zur Konjunktur hatte die Business Community Meat im zweiten Halbjahr 2013 für die italienischen Lieferanten von Maschinen, Waren und Dienstleistungen für die Produkte dieser Branche eine gute Konjunktur zu verzeichnen, sowohl bei der Umsatzentwicklung als auch bei den Exporten und der Beschäftigungslage, mit Daten, die über dem an sich schon guten Durchschnittsergebnis der Ipack-Ima-Stichprobe liegen, die insgesamt 9 Business Communities in den Sektoren Food und Non-Food analysiert. Günstig sind auch die Erwartungen für die erste Hälfte des Jahrs 2014, die, stets laut Beobachtungsstelle, von einer weiteren positiven Entwicklung gegenüber dem vorherigen Halbjahr ausgehen, mit guten Ergebnissen sowohl beim Umsatz als auch bei den Exporten.

Die außerordentlichen Chancen, die die Meat-Tech bietet, werden zusätzlich potenziert durch die zeitgleich stattfindenden Converflex, Grafitalia und Intralogistica Italia, letztere in Zusammenarbeit mit der Deutschen Messe. Es wird die größte, umfassendste Ausstellungsveranstaltung der Welt für die Bereiche Verarbeitung, Packaging, Converting, Printmedien und Logistik werden. Ein weltweit einzigartiges Messeevent hinsichtlich Vielfalt und Vollständigkeit des Ausstellungsangebots von untereinander synergetischen Sektoren, mit einem enormen Attraktivitätspotential für internationale Buyer, insgesamt 2.500 Ausstellern und über 100.000 erwarteten Besuchern, das noch interessanter wird durch die Tatsache, dass zeitgleich dazu und in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft zum Messegelände die EXPO 2015 abgehalten wird.

Fachbeirat konstituiert – Startschuss zur drinktec 2017 Mit der Konstituierung des Fachbeirats haben die Vorbereitungen für die drinktec 2017 begonnen. Volker Kronseder, Chef der Krones AG und bisheriger Vorsitzender des Gremiums, wurde in seinem Amt bestätigt. Der Fachbeirat vertritt die Interessen der auf der drinktec ausstellenden Unternehmen. Die nächste Weltleitmesse für die Getränke- und Liquid- Food-Industrie findet vom 11. bis 15. September 2017 in München statt.

E

s hat Tradition, dass der Vorsitzende des Fachverbandes Nahrungsmittelmaschinen und Verpackungsmaschinen im VDMA, Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau, auch Präsident des drinktec- Fachbeirats ist. Die Wahl von Volker Kronseder war deshalb nur

DRINKTEC FP 6/2014.indd 3

Formsache. „Die drinktec liegt mir sehr am Herzen“, erklärte der Krones-Chef: „Ihre Internationalität, ihr Auftreten und die Begeisterung, die sie auslöst – das ist einmalig.“ In ihrem Rückblick auf die drinktec 2013 zogen die Fachbeiräte allesamt ein positives Fazit. Die ver-

gangene drinktec wurde durchweg als großer Erfolg bewertet. Gelobt werden vor allem ihr internationaler Charakter sowie ihre herausragende Rolle als Impulsgeber und Innovationsmotor. Volker Kronseder betonte, dass viele der auf der drinktec 2013 vorgestellten Innovationen erst

jetzt am Markt ankommen würden.

Auch nach Einschätzung von Beatrix Fraese vom VDMA wird die drinktec noch lange nachwirken und sich auch 2015 positiv auf den Geschäftsverlauf der deutschen Maschinen und Anlagenbauer auswirken. Die drinktec 2013 hatte mit 66.886 Besuchern, davon 62 Prozent aus dem Ausland, ein Plus von 14 Prozent erzielt.

conferences

In ihrem Ausblick auf die drinktec 2017 stellte Petra Westphal, die verantwortliche Projektgruppenleiterin, Strategien und Ziele vor. Die verschiedenen Besucherzielgruppen der drinktec werden wieder mit gezielten Maßnahmen angesprochen.

Potentiale für weiteres Wachstum sieht das drinktec-Team insbesondere in den Bereichen Milch/Liquid-

Food und Wein. Weil auch Entscheider aus dem Bereich Marketing zunehmend wichtiger werden, will man das Konzept der 2013 erfolgreich eingeführten „Innovation Flow Lounge“ weiter ausbauen. Bei der Besucherkommunikation setzt man künftig verstärkt auf Maßnahmen im Bereich Social Media.

Beatrix Fraese berichtete in der Sitzung über die aktuelle wirtschaftliche Lage im Maschinenbau. Danach wuchs der für die drinktec relevante Maschinenbaufachzweig Nahrungsmittel- und Verpackungsmaschinen in 2014 um vier Prozent und erzielte damit ein Produktionsvolumen von 13 Milliarden Euro.

Die starke Inlandsnachfrage leistete dazu einen deutlichen Beitrag. Für 2015 ist die Erwartung der Maschinenhersteller deutlich positiv, denn die Nachfrage aus den EULändern zieht wieder an, die Konjunktur in China belebt sich und die Industriepolitik in USA sorgt für ein günstiges Investitionsklima.

Begleitend zu den Planungen für die drinktec 2017 laufen die Vor-

SIGEP 2015: GREAT INTERNATIONAL EVENTS SET FOR THE ARTISAN PASTRY WORLD The schedule of great international events which the 36th edition of SIGEP (Rimini Fiera, 17-21 January 2015) will dedicate to the artisan pastry world has already taken shape.

T

he schedule of great international events which the 36th edition of SIGEP (Rimini Fiera, 17-21 January 2015) will dedicate to the artisan pastry world has already taken shape.

On the first two days, Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th January, the world’s most extraordinary young talents will compete for the Junior World Pastry Championship (JWPC).

Ten teams from five continents are awaited, ready to fight it out in the suggestive Pastry Arena (Hall B5). Team have already registered from Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, France, Poland, USA and representatives from ex-Yugoslavia.

As is the tradition, contestants will be required to show their skill with a theme laid down in the regulations, which this year will be Italian Food style. The event is organized

by Rimini Fiera in collaboration with CASTAlimenti and with the Patronage of the AMPI, Relais Dessert and Conpait.

Partner companies: Debic, Besozzi Oro and Valrhona.

On Monday 19th January, the spotlight will be on the great Italian pastry Masters, who will compete for the title to be won in the Italian Pastry Championship. The best finalists will compete on the theme “Pastrymaking: core characteristics”.

On Tuesday 20th, space will be dedicated to young Italian pastry chefs, who will compete for the Italian under-23 Junior championship. The

SIGEP FP 4/14.indd 3

creative fantasy of youngsters from all over Italy will be inspired by an icon of youth and style - the Vespa, - which will be presented in an original innovative manner with artistic sugar and chocolate creations, in compliance with the tests set by the contest.

The Italian pastry championships are organized in partnership with Debic, Besozzi Oro and Valrhona.

On Tuesday 20th there will be a second great competition, the Italian heats to select the Italian contestant in the 2016 Pastry Queen competition. The contestants will have to base their entries on the theme “Stylists and Haut Couture”. With their sugar or chocolate sculptures, plated dessert and “Mini sweet jewel” ring, the contestants will stage a “catwalk” of astonishing creations of pastry-making Haute Couture.

For all five days, the Pastry Arena location will spotlight the sculptures of the International Star of Sugar

Contest, the competition dedicated to sugar. An authentic gallery of works of art representing one of the status symbols that has made Italian-made products great: Ferrari. The endeavours of a personality that with his creations left an indelible mark in the annals of time were based on a feeling and passion that will be a stimulus for putting the creative skills of sugar artists from all over the world to the test.

Title Sponsor: Decosil.

There is great expectation for the Italian Chocolate-making Championship, organized by Barry Callebaut. The success of master chocolatier Davide Comaschi at SIGEP’s 2014 Italian Chocolate-making Championship, who then went on to become World Champion at the 2014 World Chocolate Master in Paris, will attract even more attention to the event that is scheduled from Saturday 17th to Monday 19th in Hall B3.

The Festival, dedicated to EXPO 2015, is organized along with IFSE, Conpait and Pasticceria Internazionale and will spotlight great Masters of the confectioner’s art from South Korea, Russia, Peru, Brazil, Colombia and the Philippines at work. On Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th there will be presentations of typical creations of the respective cultures, with Italy as host nation, along with its famous Masters. Also at the Forum, on Monday 19th the program features Coppa Italia della Pasticceria Artistica (Italia Cup for Artistic Pastry), a contest organized

by Glamour Italian Cakes. The fascinating theme will be cinema, the seventh art, with 10 finalists selected by an online contest.

On Tuesday, the key player will be the SigepGiovani contest, with students and teachers from training schools competing and, above all, hosting the world’s most extraordinary pastry exponents. The 2015 event will be dedicated to frozen pastry.

It should also be remembered that simultaneously with the SIGEP, International Exhibition of Artisan Gelato, Pastry, Confectionery and Bakery production, there will also be RHEX (Rimini Horeca Expo), with trends in food & beverage for eating out, and A.B.TECH EXPO, the trade fair that brings together under one “expo roof” the entire bakery sector, from the great quality of artisan production to innovative industrial technologies.

BAKERY IS ALSO A KEY PLAYER IN THE FAST FOOD WORLD The most important trends in the bakery chain showcased at Rimini Fiera: from artisan to semi-industrial bakery!

SIGEP, A.B.TECH EXPO and RHEX highlights new business prospects The bread battle is on between Italy’s ciabatta and France’s baguette The bakery chain is increasing its space at SIGEP and the 2015 edition, at Rimini Fiera from 17th to 21st January, with the simultaneous staging of A.B. TECH EXPO will confirm its role as the only expo event in Europe able to bring together the entire production and distribution chain along with artisan confectionery and quality coffee.

Three more halls (D5, D7 and B7) and two connecting halls (B5-D5 and B7-D7) will highlight the new business perspective for enterprises, which is now more than just a trend, i.e. that of addressing multifunction venues in which the sale of bread is alternated with serving breakfasts, snacks and aperitifs… and is constantly evolving.

Rimini Fiera business unit manager Patrizia Cecchi explains, “This is the reason it is necessary to establish a format that ensures better coverage of the new perspective. This is why we are talking about the ‘bakery sector’. At the expo there will be companies that are the key players of the artisan and semi-industrial

productive process, those that realize sales outlets and others that widen the bakery trade’s range with their products. This has created the perfect terrain for integration with the fast food world and therefore with RHEX, our expo on catering for eating out. This combination enables to create interesting business prospects.”

No other expo in the world - considering SIGEP, A.B.TECH EXPO and RHEX together - is able to propose an insight on this business dynamism, already widespread everywhere. So Rimini Fiera will be the site of the bread battle: Italy’s “ciabatta” is tastier and highlights fillings better than France’s “baguette”.

The battle will be held in “Bread in the City” the international contest staged at A.B.TECH EXPO with eight international teams, 16 contestants and a panel that will judges the world’s bread specialities.

Bakery Events will host numerous important events for the bakery world (in Hall D7). These will include the “Bread Talent Show”, a contest in which professionals will propose their innovations in a video. Before the expo, participants will take part in selection heats, and the remaining finalists will fight it out to win a trip to Shanghai offered by Lesaffre. For information, write to breadtalentshow@riminifiera.it. There will also be “Sartoria” workshops (innovative packaging), “Bottega” (new trends in bread stores), “Focacceria” (a workshop for making bakery specialities) and “Officina” (demos of semi-industrial workshops with machinery for making la typical products).

Steady demand despite difficult conditions

The interplastica and UPAKOVKA/UPAK ITALIA trade fairs are expecting around 1,000 exhibitors in January 2015 in Moscow

I

nterplastica and UPAKOVKA/ UPAK ITALIA 2015, the two leading Russian trade fairs for plastics and rubber and for the packaging and processing technology industry, are recording steady demand from international exhibitors. From 27 - 30 January almost 1,000 companies will present their new products and services over a net area of around 16,000 square metres. Werner Matthias Dornscheidt, Chairman and CEO of Messe Düsseldorf, takes a cautiously optimistic view of the market chances, in spite of the tense trade relations with Russia and the current economic difficulties, caused, among other things, by the weak rouble.

“Even if the situation at the moment is not exactly easy, I am convinced, that the prospects for the plastics and packaging industries in the Russian market are positive in the long term. We have been organising trade fairs in Russia since 1963 and there have always been highs and lows. Past crises have shown us that those who maintain a market presence in difficult times are among the winners when business picks up again.” Messe Düsseldorf organises both trade fairs jointly with its subsidiary OOO Messe Düs-

UpakItalia FP 6/14.indd 3

seldorf Moscow and, in the case of UPAKOVKA/UPAK ITALIA, in collaboration with the Italian exhibitors’ organizer, Centrexpo.

The exhibitors who have already registered for interplastica and UPAKOVKA/UPAK ITALIA come from more than 20 different nations. They include the large suppliers from the plastics and packaging industries as well as smaller specialists, regular participants and a remarkable number of new exhibitors. Suppliers from Germany, Italy and France, and also the host nation Russia, are particularly well represented at both trade fairs. Austria, Portugal, Turkey and Taiwan also have many companies exhibiting at interplastica and, for the first time ever, there is a joint contingency of Swiss exhibitors at UPAKOVKA/UPAK ITALIA. There is a good chance that once again around 20,000 trade visitors will come to Moscow for the upcoming trade fair duo. Werner M. Dornscheidt says, “Events held in Russia are benefiting from the fact that it has become more difficult for Russian experts to visit trade fairs abroad.”

The topic of recycling is being particularly showcased at both trade fairs. At interplastica this is being

done within the “Meeting Point Raw Materials”. In this special show with open exhibitor seminars in Hall 1, innovative developments in the production, use and recycling of raw materials will be presented.

The main focus of the supporting programme at UPAKOVKA/UPAK ITALIA is the special show “Future Forum – Trends for the Russian Market”. In this trend show, selected exhibitors will present and explain in detail their technological innovations, with a particular focus on one day on the disposal and recycling of packaging and packaging materials. Trade visitors will have the opportunity to talk directly to suppliers to discuss market needs and solutions.

The hall layout at the Moscow trade fair centre EXPOCENTRE in Krasnaya Presnya will continue with the successful concept from 2014: interplastica will be held in halls 1, 3, 8 and the forum. Hall 3 will once again be the centrepiece of the heavy machinery range; here numerous innovative plants will attract interest from trade visitors.

UPAKOVKA/UPAK ITALIA will once again be located in halls 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 and will thus be in the immediate vicinity.
