“Let’s not look a ‘gift horse’ in the mouth!” Regular readers of this column will know that I am averse to using it for any kind of advertising or promotion of anything other than my own possibly erroneous, probably dogmatic, sometimes controversial but hopefully entertaining views. But this month I am going to make an exception! I do so because I believe that there is an opportunity for UK manufacturers that simply shouldn’t be missed. I have often written about the benefits of automation. The savings that can be made; the improvement in consistency and product quality; the increased productivity; the environmental benefits and more recently, the resulting increase in employment rather than the intuitive decrease that we might expect (more on the latter in a future column). The PPMA has been working hard with Government to convince them that they should provide funding in support of steps towards helping UK manufacturers explore the potential benefits of automation in their own premises. An earlier study revealed that one of the most serious reasons that we are way behind the rest of the world in adopting this technology is the lack of awareness amongst manufacturers as to how they might employ automation in their own, often modest facilities. As has been reported fairly widely, I am pleased to say that we have been successful in our endeavours and that the Department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) has allocated a ‘no strings attached’ grant of £600K to fund what are genuinely free manufacturing process reviews by an independent expert in the field. That’s right; ‘free’; no strings attached and no further obligations. In my many years of working both with and for a while ‘in’ government, I can honestly say that such a facility is rarely made available and it is to the credit of BIS that they have taken this important step. It is now therefore, up to UK manufacturers to take advantage of this free service. Any company wishing to undergo a no obligation review of their manufacturing process and receive a full report of the potential to automate their facility only needs to telephone the PPMA on 020 8773 8111, ask for Grant Collier and request a free process review under what has been termed the Automating Manufacturing Programme. Alternatively, visit the Automating Manufacturing website on www.automatingmanufacturing.co.uk. I am pleased to say that a significant number of companies have already taken advantage of this opportunity and are now making long overdue changes to automate their facilities. Don’t miss out! Call us today. Let’s not ‘look a gift-horse in the mouth.’

Industry to benefit from jobs created by robots Robotics will be a major driver for global job creation over the next five years, according to a recent study published in Japan. One million industrial robots currently in operation have been directly responsible for the creation of close to three million jobs, concludes the study and it predicts that growth in robot use over the next five years will result in the creation of a further one million positions around the world. The Positive Impact of Industrial Robots on

Employment study was conducted by market research firm Metra Martech and published by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) in Tokyo. It found that between 2000 and 2008, manufacturing employment increased in nearly every major industrialised country, even as the use of industrialised robotics increased sharply. This trend is now being seen in China, Brazil and other emerging markets as they increase their use of robotics. Indeed, the report found that

manufacturing employment is stronger in countries that continue to accelerate their robot investments. “The IFR study highlights the importance of robotics and the recently launched, government funded Automating Manufacturing Programme is providing assistance to companies looking to use automation to improve competitiveness and drive growth,” says Mike Wilson, chairman of the British Automation and Robot Association.

Apprenticeship scheme is expanded Krones UK has expanded its successful apprenticeship programme to include four new apprentices this year, instead of recruiting two, as in previous years. Alex Parkinson, Matthew Boulton and Thomas Brown join the company as service engineering apprentices, while Thomas Longworth joins as a support apprentice involved in CAD design and project engineering. “Recruiting skilled engineers these days is not an easy task, and by recruiting our own

apprentices, we ensure that they deliver the skills designed around our specific company and industry needs,” says Andrew Wilson, managing director of

Krones UK. “Developing the specialist skills necessary for Krones UK to effectively serve the bottling and packaging industries to keep pace with the latest technology in our sector is absolutely vital to our continuing success.” The four apprentices, who have already completed two years of study, will follow a two year programme which will lead to the NVQ3 and HNC Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, with at least one additional year of machine specialisation.

Sad passing of BluePrint Automation founder Bob Prakken, founder and chairman of BluePrint Automation, passed away in January after a long battle with cancer. Seeing an unfulfilled need for automated case packing of flexible bags, Prakken founded the company in 1978 from his garage and over the years, turned it into a multinational operation with three manufacturing plants employing www. m a c hine r yup da te. c o . uk

more than 250 people worldwide. In 2001, the Dutch government recognised him for his many achievements by honouring him with the prestigious ʻKnight of the Dutch Lionʼ award. Prakken was a husband, father, grandfather and friend that was known for his sense of humour, quick wit and zest for life and he will be missed by all who met him.

New agents for Focke machines Paramount Packaging Systems has been named as the new UK agent for Focke & Co General Packaging’s range of well-established case packing equipment following the retirement of former UK agent RBK Machinery. Until now, the company has operated exclusively on behalf of Japanese manufacturer Fuji, which has been established in the UK market for over 30 years and was the pioneer of today’s multi-axis, servo driven flow wrappers. However, having worked successfully with Focke & Co on previous installations, Paramount has been happy to extend this relationship further. “There’s no doubting this is a big step for us but we feel it gives us a more complete offering to the market and the ability to offer a one-stopshop on high quality equipment,” says John Roberts, director of Paramount. “We are already a principle supplier to a broad range of industries, extending from food and bakery through to pharmaceuticals, healthcare and medical devices all of which can also benefit from Focke & Co equipment,” he says. The company will be promoting the new Highly Flexible Packer (HFP) which combines gentle product handling with flexibility and can be used for a variety of case styles such as RSC, HSC or trays. Depending on product, case, tray and collation, the standard HFP is able to manage a speed of up to 20 cases a minute. 01252 815252 www.paramountpackaging.co.uk

Survey finds food company barriers to robot purchasing A survey conducted by an MSc graduate into protential barriers to industrial robot implementation in the food industry has found that the vast majority feel that they would make the investment if the payback time was shorter. The survey revealed four major barriers to robot adoption. Firstly, 64% of the participants claimed that the capability of industrial robots with food products constrains their robot investment; 66% declared that they are not able to justify the potential advantages of industrial robots, so this issue is an impediment for robot investment; 62% mentioned that the lack of funds to invest in robots and 82% of the respondees, as previously mentioned, stated that they would make investment if the payback time was shorter. The experiences of the automotive industry which robotised its production lines many years ago and is the major user of industrial robots in the world, can provide a useful guide

for the UK’s food manufacturing industry, says Umut Afsar, author of the survey. In the early days concerns regarding the capability of robots for car production were present and formed a barrier for the automotive industry. The development of robots more suited to the requirements of vehicle production removed that barrier. This was achieved by partnership between the car manufacturers and the robot suppliers. Food manufacturing requires robots that are easy to re-program, flexible to meet the requirements of frequent product changeovers and varying product mix; and also meet the hygiene and safety requirements of food manufacturing. The pace of introduction relies on close cooperation between robot producers and the industry and relevant academic bodies, to develop robot products which meet the needs of the sector. Another barrier that was identified by the research was the lack of justification for industrial robots in food

production. An identical barrier for the UK automotive industry was surpassed by an awareness and publicity programme led by the British Robot Association (now BARA) with positive engagement from the automotive industry. Today, for the food sector, this can be addressed by BARA and other organisations, such as CenFRA and MAS, but the food industry also needs to actively participate. A number of participants in the survey declared that lack of funds was forming a barrier to robot implementation in their own production facilities. Investment payback time was declared to be the most acute barrier for the participants (82%). But, says the survey, the automotive industry had a similar barrier but food manufacturing companies in the UK can overcome this barrier by better assessment of investment using a more sophisticated approach which includes all the benefits of the investment, says Afsar. Such an approach should consider increases in productivity,

Robotic demand soars in 2011 Provider of automated and robotic solutions CKF has taken orders totalling £5.5 million in the past six months and six new engineers now bolster its ranks. “It was a quiet start to 2011 but more businesses are taking the bull by the horns and introducing automation to improve production and reduce costs,” says Bryan Wheeler, managing director of CKF Systems. “There seems to be a growing realisation in the UK and Europe that 8

waiting for an economic upturn is high risk, immediate action is necessary to stay competitive and profitable. “While current world financial forecasts may not inspire confidence, investment in robotic systems is growing worldwide,” he continues. “Some banks now recognise this and appear more willing to lend where automation is a key part of an investment plan.” In the last three years, the company has seen its team increase from 25 to 45 people

Setting robot preferences Pace Mechanical Handling, specialists in robotic palletising, packaging and handling systems in the food and aggregates industry has selected Motoman robots from Yaskawa as the preferred robot for their robotic automation projects. Motoman robots were chosen because of the ease of programming, speed performance and the choices of communication protocol that are offered, says md of Pace Nick Cesare. w w w. machi ner yupdate. co . uk

New HSE proposals may prove costly Cap Coder capping heads come in single and multi-head formats for multiple product applications ranging from Food to Chemicals, Cosmetics to Drinks.

New proposals by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) are likely, if they are implemented in their present form, to have serious financial implications for employers that are found to be in breach of health and safety laws, warns Paul Laidler, managing director of Laidler Associates. In essence, the HSE is seeking to recover, from offending employers, the costs it incurs while investigating a material breach of health and safety

law, and also any additional costs in providing support to the employer as an aid to ensuring that the situation is successfully remedied. The arrangements have already been agreed in principle with the Government. If, as seems likely, the proposals are adopted, the new system of charging could start as soon as April this year, and it is estimated that the HSE will charge for its inspectors’ time at a rate of £133 an hour.

This charge, however, will only apply to companies that break health and safety laws. Laidler believes the new proposals are a wake-up call to businesses to review their health and safety practices and procedures to ensure that nothing has been overlooked. “In particular, machinery users are advised to check that their PUWER assessments are up to date and comprehensive in their coverage,” he says.

After a period of relatively weak but not unexpected results over the summer and early autumn, mechanical engineering firms say that orders from UK businesses are holding up better than orders from abroad as many overseas firms face up to

the uncertainties surrounding the euro. “According to the Engineering and Machinery Alliance’s (EAMA) monthly Business Monitor, UK order intake has improved month on month with 45% of firms

saying their order levels are up but things aren’t so positive on the export side,” says Martin Walder, EAMA chairman. Compared to 2010, 55% of firms say that business is up, 14% at the same level as a year ago and 31% down. w w w. machi ner yupdate. co . uk

vision

Vision show is successful More than 7,000 visitors attended Vision 2011 in Stuttgart last November with visitor numbers from Asia registering the most significant increase. Organisers say that this indicates that Asian markets are becoming more important for the machine vision industry and still harbour great potential. “Vision is extremely significant as regards the internationalisation of the machine vision industry,” says Dr Olav Munkelt, chairman of the executive committee of the Machine Vision Group in the German Engineering Federation (VDMA). In attracting over 350 exhibitors, the 2011 event topped the previous year’s figure by over 8%. The range of exhibits extended from complete machine vision systems, cameras lenses, illumination systems, vision sensors, frame grabbers, software tools and accessories through to application solutions and services.

UKIVA chairman Mark Williamson, Anne Braggins and general secretary of EMVA Patrick Schwarzkopf

Visitor stats showed high satisfaction with the event with 93% looking to return to the event this year. Vision 2012 will be held at Messe Stuttgart from 6-8 November 2012 in the L-Bank Forum. During the show, the UKIVA (UK Industrial Vision www. m a c hine r yup da te. c o . uk

Association) and the EMVA (European Machine Vision Association) jointly recognised the contribution made to the vision industry by the late Don Braggins (Machinery Update July/August 2011). They chose the show to present

Don’s widow Anne with a gift for her garden. The timing was particularly appropriate as Don had attended every Vision show up to and including 2009 and had been a regular member of the jury for the Vision award. UKIVA chairman

Mark Williamson praised Don’s foresight in seeing the potential of industrial vision back in 1983. “He probably did more for the vision industry than any other individual,” he said. www.vision-messe.de

new machinery

Higher speed pick & place Stäubli Robotics is introducing the TP80 fast picker which is described as an ultrafast fouraxis new technology of high speed pickers for standard pick and place applications. “This series of high speed pickers delivers greater speeds of more than 200 picks a minute, and more flexibility at a lower cost to all markets,” says Phil Cooper of Stäubli UK. This new robot represents the latest development from the company and is more lightweight and agile while also delivering fast cycle times. “It also maintains high precision with homogenous repeatability throughout the entire work envelope” says Cooper. A simple base or wall mounting eliminates the need for a large, costly gantry which, says the company, further enhances the robot’s cost effectiveness and ease of integration. The TP80 fast picker is also competitively priced and so offers an economical alternative for numerous standard applications without sacrificing quality, durability and performance, says Stäubli. “This enables the TP80 to become the first choice for a large variety of applications that traditionally have required delta robots,” explains Cooper. 01952 671917 www.staubli.com

Product verifiers Tna has launched two new additions to its quality assurance range: the intelliscan 2 date code assurance system and the intelli-read 3 integrated barcode scanning system. These products accurately verify products on the tna robag vertical form fill and seal (vffs) bagger while retaining a high level of flexibility and simplicity for food manufacturers. The intelli-scan 2 processes images through its camera system to ensure that the date code is printed, complete and legible, handling both light and

Barcodes are scanned and verified by the new unit from tna

dark texts. With speeds of up to 200 bpm, the scanner is able to keep up with the vffs equipment. Meanwhile, the intelli-read 3 full film width barcode reader automatically scans the barcode

on the film and cross checks it to verify that the correct product is being processed. Mounted on to the film system of the bagger and then fully integrated into the software, the unit scans the entire width to ensure every barcode, regardless of where it is printed on the film, is read. “These additions provide the next level of food packaging and verification for advanced quality assurance,” says tna’s group marketing manager Shayne De la Force. 0121 628 8900 www.tnasolutions.com

Collate and wrap efficiently A throughput of 300 cartons per minute which Linkx Systems claim is up to 60% more than conventional machines makes the Matrix side-feed collating and shrink-wrapping machines ideal for use in food packaging applications where efficiency and productivity are key manufacturing issues. Equally suitable for use with frozen, chilled or ambienttemperature products, the machines provide multi-size collation capabilities with fast repeatable one touch size change, and low-stress carton handling that eliminates the risk of product damage. In addition,

A throughput of 300 cartons a minute is achieved on the Matrix

packs from Matrix machines are stronger and more robust than those produced by conventional machines which allows for

improved pallet utilisation, says the company. 01502 713777 www.linkx.co.uk

The slat lane divider is offered at a price and quality level in line with market expectations, says Cermex

Cermex expanded its range of equipment at the start of last year by starting to manufacture all of its slat lane dividers inhouse and within months, the company had orders for about 20 machines. The company is now capable of covering all of its customer needs with slat lane dividers made by its own teams, rather then purchasing them externally which has led to the technical convergence of this product range. This is because equipment manufactured in the same plant benefit from the same management process for lead times and quality, says the company. Also, this rationalisation of components helps to optimise parts management throughout the life cycle of the machine.

Lane dividing is a solution for forming batches of primary products prior to case packing/shrink wrapping or batches of packs or cases prior to palletising. Lane dividers are designed to divert, distribute, sort, balance or collate primary or secondary packaging in preparation for the subsequent stage in the production line. As Cermex says, the speed and efficiency of a shrink wrapper, case packer or palletiser often depends on the way products or batches are prepared. By adding this range of slat lane dividers to its manufacturing programme, the company believes it can exert greater control on the synergy between its machines and upstream operations. 01480 455919 www.cermexuk.com

Low cost palletiser Yorkshire Packaging Systems (YPS) has introduced a low cost palletiser specifically designed to go on the end of its range of shrink wrapping machines. “If you are currently stacking products onto pallets at relatively low speeds then the YPS palletiser may well provide a low cost alternative to labour,” explains Glyn Johnson from YPS. www. m a c hine r yup da te. c o . uk

The system is easy to use with simple intuitive controls where the operator simply provides some basic pack information and the machine does the rest, says Johnson. The specially designed software will automatically work out the best pallet pattern if required or users can enter their own. 01924 441355 www.yps.co.uk

Handling goods at gentle rate Ishida Europe has launched an enhanced version of its weigher for the handling of granular products which are often easily damaged by auger or volumetric cup fillers. Also, Ishida says the weigher is typically three times more accurate than conventional filling or dosing systems. The new range of high speed cut-gate weighers features a newly designed weigher hopper that minimises the discharge time of the weighed product without spillage, along with an enhanced cut-gate mechanism to improve product feeding and a three times faster processing capability. These features deliver even faster weighing speeds – up to 30 weighments a minute per head depending on product type – while maintaining the accuracy and gentle handling. The cut-gate weigher offers precise weighing of all types of granular products such as detergents, freeze-dried coffee, tea and other drink granules, sugar and salt. 0121 607 7700 www.ishidaeurope.com

High speed case sealing The Little David LDX-RTB is the latest in a series of industrial grade, high performance case sealers from Little David and was demonstrated by Loveshaw Europe at the PPMA Show at the NEC last year. The company believes this semi-automatic case sealer that is designed for processing random assortments of case sizes is unrivalled in its sheer efficiency, ease of maintenance, durability and versatility. The company also claims that the sealer processes cases between 40 and 80% faster than other units on the market. As well as speed

advantages, the sealer automatically adjusts for the height and width of the case presented to it by the operator. These adjustments can also be fixed in place to process a

series of uniform cases, if required. The sealer can also process void-filled or overstuffed cases without affecting overall performance. Cases are top and bottom sealed with 2 or 3in tape using the latest Caselocker 60 tape cartridges. This high performance tape cartridge features positive tape cutting, light actuation for weak boxes, an adjustment free design and it is capable of running at speeds up to 60m a minute. Easy access motors, electrics and belts facilitate quick and easy maintenance and repair. 01264 357511 www.loveshaw.com

Unscrambler can sort rigid containers RNA Automation has introduced a modular unscrambler to sort a wide range of rigid container shapes including F-style, tapered, conical and handled. The modular design means each major component – hopper/elevator, pre-sorter and orienting assembly – is a separate unit. The benefit of

M ACH INE RY U P D AT E: JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2012

this combination is that each component of the system can be traded-in in the future, for a newer or larger unit. This allows customers to upgrade existing equipment for larger bottles and achieve higher speeds without having to buy a whole new system. The modular unscrambler has been designed to be safe to

operate, simple to maintain and easy to understand, so that no tools are required for changeover between bottle sizes. Another additional feature of this system is the energy saving mode which shuts down all drives and solenoids during prolonged conveyor backlog. 0121 749 2566 www.rnaautomation.com

Metal detected in wet and dry foods

Variable frequency technology handles moisture content efficiently

Variable frequency technology included in Mettler-Toledo Safeline’s Profile Select metal detector offers accurate inspection regardless of the moisture content of the product or packaging material. The new rectangular metal detection systems offer sensitive detection capabilities for both wet and dry products on food production lines. Traditionally, only dry products can be successfully inspected at metal detectors’ maximum sensitivity setting. This is because wet or ‘conductive’ products create an electrical signal that can disguise the signal generated by metal contaminants.

Profile Select detectors feature variable frequency technology that automatically selects the most suitable frequency for each application. Production lines benefit from optimal efficiency and rigorous assurance of quality through use of the maximum detection sensitivity, says the company. The machine’s auto-set function selects the optimum frequency for the product being inspected providing maximum product quality, enhanced process flexibility, optimised equipment performance while creating overall cost savings. 0161 848 8636 www.mt.com/metaldetection

Trouble free veg handling UPM Conveyors has established preferred supplier status at Finlay’s Fresh Produce, the first suppliers of Fairtrade vegetables into the UK and the largest vertically integrated horticultural producer and exporter of fresh produce and flowers from Africa to the EU. According to Roger Broughton, group engineering manager at Finlay’s, UPM were selected due to its ability to offer bespoke solutions for product handling in Kenya, where trouble-free operation and zero maintenance are priorities. UPM offered Finlay’s a triple decker belt conveyor to allow four operators per side to transfer product from the lower conveyor to fill boxes on the middle conveyor with empty boxes being transferred on the top roller conveyor at a rate of 2,000 kilos an hour. Finlay’s produced over 165 million packs of vegetables for the UK retail market in 2010 amounting to 29 million kilos of fresh vegetables. 01753 548801 www.upm.co.uk

Sustainable carton use Healthy food company Nature Delivered has chosen Kliklok to supply two more JR carton forming machines for its plant in Feltham, having already installed three of these units. As part of the company’s move to reduce its packaging by using thinner, 100% biodegradable and recycled carton board, Nature Delivered initially asked Kliklok to supply a cartoning machine to ease the transition from hand erecting to automatic carton forming. The JR carton erector was selected for its versatility and reliability that is ideally suited to hand packing operations,

providing a steady flow of formed cartons or trays. Products handled are portions of dried fruit, nuts and seeds that sit inside compartments in a specially formed top load carton. As well as erecting the cartons, the unit is pre-breaking the three lid flaps as they are tucked inside the carton once the product has been inserted manually. This pack is then mailed to homes and workplaces as a healthy alternative for lunches and snacks. 01275 836131 www.kliklok-int.com

Pump offers high performance levels AAK Foods has swapped an ageing progressive cavity pump for the latest MasoSine pump from Watson-Marlow Pumps Group. The twist in the tale is that AAK initially tried a progressive cavity alternative, only to find it was taking three hours to strip, clean and rebuild. This was too long for a company that often undertakes short runs. As a result, AAK Foods turned to a SPS4 sine pump which proved far more suitable and offered

deniway

both higher performance levels and quicker strip-down times. AAK Foods produces over 300 different products and a wide range of value added services for the retail and food service markets. “Our pumps have to pump everything from thin dressings to coarse grain mustards and everything in between, which represents a big range of viscosities,” explains engineering manager at AAK Foods Ian Roberts. He also points out that

the company needed a gently acting pump so the particulates within the foods are not destroyed in the transfer process. “We can strip the SPS4 pump down to component level for cleaning in just 7-8 minutes,” he says. “It then takes 20-25 minutes to clean, but only because of the dwell time in cleaning solution required to ensure sterility,” he concludes. 01326 370370 www.wmpg.co.uk

Printed pouches need to withstand extremes BD Foods has taken delivery of a Thermocode 107M thermal transfer printer from Open Date Equipment to print product information onto pouches containing its range of chutneys, sauces, dressings and soups. The company is expanding rapidly and so needs continuity of production. The Thermocode, which is mounted on a new pouch filling line, was acquired to replace an existing printer, bought in 2010, which was proving unreliable. Open Date, which already supplies the company with thermal transfer ribbons for all printers used on-site, responded by lending the food company a Thermocode machine to help maintain supplies for customers in the food service, wholesale, restaurant, pub, hotel and airline catering sectors. This trial proved so successful the company purchased a new model. “Our pouches are generic in

all our requirements and has been very reliable,” he continues. “In addition, it has been easy to train our operators to use both the hardware and software supplied.” The printer’s ability to generate ‘best before’ dates, batch codes and Julian codes has virtually eliminated human error when inputting data, according to the company. 020 8655 4999 www.opendate.co.uk

Joan Font Sala is responsible for packaging at the company and says that because operators do not handle products any more, the loading process is much easier and there is much less risk of contamination on the sealing edges. “In addition, special sensors on the machine ensure all previously formed packs are loaded and only then are they transported to the sealing station,” he tells Machinery Update. The company packs its hams in two sizes: 210 x 800mm and 210 x 400mm.

The drinks industry is hoping for a change of fortunes next year with Euro 2012 and the London Olympics expected to generate sales spikes

Drowning in celebrations There’s a theory that alcohol sales tend to do well during a recession, as cashstrapped Britons drown their sorrows. There’s an element of truth to it, but the reality is a little more complicated. Take wine sales. The UK is now the world’s biggest market for imported wines, and per capita consumption has rocketed since the 1970s. But last year, the amount of wine bought fell by 3%. The market actually rose in value, but the extra cash was mainly down to the duty increase being passed on, and a rise in VAT. Wine importers are also faced with unwelcome currency costs, particularly those who deal with Australia which is still the biggest-selling country of origin in the take-home sector. Beer isn’t having a particularly happy time. Volumes are down, and again a modest increase in sales value has benefited the Chancellor rather than any of the brewers. The drift towards consuming alcohol at home has continued, and arguably even accelerated as a result of economic turbulence. This has clearly been bad news for pubs and restaurants, where virtually all types of drinks have seen volumes decline over the past year. (The honourable exception is the ready-to-drink spirits category, often referred to as alcopops.) 18

In the take-home market, dominated by supermarkets, there have been some success stories. Cider, sparkling wine, gin and vodka have all achieved healthy sales increases. Soft drinks sales have been holding up well, partly as a result of innovation in the industry that has led to a host of new formulas, flavours and pack formats, but also as a result of healthconscious consumers looking for sociable alternatives to alcohol. The arrival of stevia as an approved natural sweetener could have a big impact. What is 2012 likely to hold for the drinks industry? The taxation problem isn’t going away: the government is committed to applying its despised “duty escalator” to all alcoholic drinks, which means an across-the-board excise increase of two percentage points. That will add around 15p to a standard bottle of wine. The health lobby is also sinking its claws in. The Scottish government is already committed to introducing a minimum price for drinks, based on their alcoholic content, and there is a powerful lobby of senior medics who think Westminster ought to be doing the same. They criticise the self-regulation that exists in the industry and want a firmer line taken, not just on pricing but promotional activity and marketing.

M ACH INERY U P D AT E : JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2012

The drinks industry itself is hoping for a change in fortunes. There are two major sporting events in prospect, Euro 2012 and the London Olympics, which are dominating the thoughts of marketing teams and are expected to generate two welcome sales spikes. The Queen’s diamond jubilee is also guaranteed to send corks popping. Much will also depend on the weather. Last year’s warm spring and autumn were appreciated, but the mini-booms they created couldn’t make up for the disappointment of the chilly summer. Then, of course, there is the economy. For some, drinking wine or beer is an everyday pleasure, and not something that will be cut from their household budget, even if other savings are necessary. But with unemployment numbers soaring, not everyone is in a position to take such a stance. Yet despite the uncertainty, consumers have arguably never had it so good. The UK has never before had such a wealth of drinks to choose from, or such a choice of places to buy them. There are certainly some sorrows to be drowned, but there’s also plenty to celebrate. The next few pages will show how the drinks industry has been investing in these turbulent times as well as outlining equipment available to pack or process other liquid products. w w w. machi ner yup date. co . uk

Concentrate on homogenising Ytron Process Technology has developed an alternative method for the homogenising of fruit juice concentrate by using a Ytron-Z in-line homogeniser. One of the first customers for the new solution is Eckes Granini in Germany. The conventional procedure sees fruit juice concentrate processed using a high pressure homogeniser at a pressure of around 100-200 bar. The goals are to optimise the sensory properties of the juice and to reduce the tendency to settle out in the final juice by applying a defined reduction of the particle size. But, says Dudley Bradley, executive chairman of YtronQuadro, this conventional process is expensive with high capital investment costs and energy consumption.

nozzles because of fibres present in the juice, significant sensory improvement due to reduced particle size and slight viscosity increase thereby eliminating potential filling problems. “The Ytron-Z system also uses a fraction

of the energy compared to a conventional high pressure homogeniser while capital investment is also reduced,” concludes Bradley. 01494 792898 www.ytron-quadro.co.uk

Product passage through the unit is shown

“In addition to this there is the cost of routine maintenance and costly wear parts,” he says. To overcome these disadvantages the Ytronising process was developed using the Ytron-Z. “The desired quality for a particular type of fruit juice is achieved by adjusting the parameters of slot width, number and distance of the sheer slots, number of rotor/stator sets used, rotational speed and product flowrate,” says Bradley. This is a newly developed method of homogenisation suitable for juice, premixes and concentrates. Capacities up to 25,000 litres an hour are achievable with the YtronZ 250 while capacities of up to 50,000 litres an hour are achievable with the 400 model. Advantages offered include no blocking of the filling valves or www. m a c hine r yup da te. c o . uk

Turning juice trays perform profitably

A three-axis TLM-F3 unit located in the third sub-machine flips over the bottles at Sizilia

German citrus juice producer Sizilia commissioned Schubert to create a packaging line with a twist. At the company, PET bottles are packed in trays in two layers and the top bottles are placed upside-down in the spaces between the bottles on the bottom layer. A cardboard tag and brand emblem is loosely fitted on the neck of each bottle. Currently, three sizes and formats are handled â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 23 x 200ml bottles; 33 x 100ml bottles and 24 x 200ml bottles. And, despite the demanding tasks it performs, the line features a highly compact design thanks to its novel conveyor device. Called the TLM transmodule, this robot vehicle moves through the packaging line on a track and transports packages and items to be packed. Each TLM transmodule has its own control unit which communicates with the VMS controller wirelessly. The current transmission which powers the servomotor and a vacuum blower is also wireless. The track has a turning unit at each end and unloaded modules return to the other end on a lower track. The entire packaging line comprises four sub-machines. In operation, 220 bottles www. m a c hine r yup da te. c o . uk

are fed in a single lane every minute. The controller cycles bottles into a grouping chain in the transition area to the third sub-machine. This, in turn, brings twelve products to the pick-up area of a two-axis TLM-F2 robot. The following process step varies depending on whether the running program is handling upside-down bottles. If the tray only receives one layer, only the size plates of ready transmodules are filled. If another layer is to be positioned â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;on its headâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; later on, the robot also equips a horizontal tool alternatively to the transmodule. This tool belongs to a three-axis TLM-F3 unit which is also located in the third sub-machine. Its task is to flip over the bottles. A vacuum transport system positions three cartons which already contain a layer of bottles to the working area of the robot. The TLM-F3 then executes a turning movement with the tool until the bottles are upside-down and lowers them precisely into the spaces between the layer of upright bottles. 01676 525825 www.schubert-uk.co.uk

Alliance meets cup growth Cama is joining two other machinery manufacturers in a partnership – called Unique – to meet the growing demand for high speed packaging systems for cups containing coffee and tea. According to Milan State University,

the ‘cups containing coffee, tea and herbal tea’ market is now the fastest growing sector in the beverage market. The three Italian manufacturers are Sarong, producer of thermoforming systems, Opem, maker of cup filling

machines and Cama for the cardboard cup packaging and case packing. The new consortium is now able to provide complete systems, comprising cup thermoforming, filling, primary packaging (bag or flow pack), through to secondary cup packaging and case packing. “Cama is not new to this type of strategic alliance,” says Annalisa Bellante, Cama’s marketing manager. “In these partnerships where each company gives their expertise, it always offers the best possible solution for customers, offering cohesion, flexibility, technical skills and professional advice,” she says. Cama can engineer systems to handle pods, bags, doy-packs and instant coffee stick-packs as well as cups. “Stick-packs now run at production speeds of 960 a minute thanks to special hopper loaders,” explains Bellante. 01793 831111 www.camagroup.com

Clean preforms With its new method of sterilising preforms, KHS now offers many advantages to influence the use of the ultraclean filling process. Sterilising preforms in advance eliminates the need for classic upstream PET bottle sterilising and rinsing. This contributes not only to saving the cost of investment in a rinser but also saves rinse water. Also, the significantly smaller area of the preform to be sterilised compared to that of the PET bottle surface additionally reduces the required amount of sterilant considerably. The company believes that this system allows beverages to be filled under ultra-clean conditions more cost-effectively and sustainably than has been possible in the past. 0121 713 6900 www.khs-ag.com w w w. machi ner yupdate. co . uk

The salient advantage of the weighing filler installed at the HJ Heinz Pudliszki facility in Poland is its consistently high filling accuracy

Sauce enters brave new world “As far as we are concerned, this Krones line means a whole new world.” So says Robert Kubiak, production manager at HJ Heinz’s Pudliszki facility in Poland that has seen the installation of a line that handles both glass and plastics bottles that are then packed in a number of different ways.. “We’re achieving an overall efficiency, including all changeovers and cleaning breaks, of more than 70% into the warehouse,” continues Kubiak. “The best results were 57 tons per eight hour shift or 161 tons a day.” Kubiak also says that changeover from glass to plastic containers takes about 90 minutes, and from plastic to glass is about 120 minutes. “Thanks to single-minute exchange of die, where the changeover is done segment by

segment, we’re going to be able to get that down to 40 minutes in the future,” he says. During the technical planning for the new ketchup line, the initial thinking favoured an electronic volumetric filler but, together with Krones, Heinz went one step further by opting for a Sensometic VP-GW weighing filler with an upstream single-channel Variojet rinser operating with sterile air, and all integrated into a cleanroom. This enables Heinz to run productfriendly cold filling in full microbiological safety and without any preservatives to achieve a shelf life of two years for Heinz ketchup and one year for Pudliszki’s own brand ketchup. “Cold filling is the international standard at Heinz,” explains Krzysztof

Pawlowski, supply chain finance manager at the Polish company. “It assures our product of better taste, higher quality, and it’s more energyeconomical into the bargain. “The advantage of the weighing filler is not only its higher accuracy, but also the fact that there is no contact with a sensor like you have with a volumetric filler,” he continues. “That’s why this mode of filling is more favourable in terms of hygiene as well.” This accuracy has been proved by the resulting production figures. The standard deviation is now running at one gram per container, whereas the figure for the plant’s older line – which features a piston filler – is between 5 and 6g. 01942 845000 www.krones.com

Company grows to fill demand The Adelphi Group has just completed the latest phase of development at its Haywards Heath site in Sussex to help accommodate the projected growth in the sales of its twin head response volumetric filler for liquids and creams. This unit was introduced at the PPMA Show and is primarily for use in the cosmetics and pharma markets where there is often a need to switch quickly between products, and to ensure there is no cross contamination of product types. “With a fill range from 3ml to 100ml, the twin head response offers almost double the throughput capacity of the single head,” explains Dean Willis from Adelphi. “And of all the sales made since its launch in September, all but one have been to the cosmetics and pharma sectors.” Construction of an additional 800sq m warehouse was completed in just 24 weeks and a mobile racking system helps to ensure that every cubic metre of extra space is fully utilised at the Sussex site. 01444 472300 www.adelphi.uk.com

New retail guidelines to ensure right packs AutoCoding Systems has worked in consultation with a major retailer to help it implement guidelines to ensure all products supplied to them have the right packaging, the right label and the right date code every time. Suppliers to the retailer are being asked to subject each finished product pack to an online automatic system to verify the use of the correct product packaging and coding. To achieve this there are a number of mandatory requirements that have to be met to ensure compliance including each packaging line being controlled by a line terminal or other suitable hardware. On show was an autocoding management system from the company that ensures every line is controlled by a dedicated industrial PC housed in a stainless steel cabinet. The line terminal communicates with a central database holding key product information and relevant coding profiles, including date rules, promotions and concessions relating to individual SKUs. Also, the system can seamlessly integrate to leading ERP and planning

SPONSORED BY

AutoCoding Systems has worked with a major retailer on the guidelines to ensure total pack integrity

systems ensuring the master SKU data is automatically populated to the AutoCoding system database. The line terminal is responsible for the set-up and control of the line devices via its own industrial network (for example TCP/IP, Serial). Data for the date code and associated packaging barcodes is sent to the relevant line devices thus eliminating the need for manual set-up with the associated risk of error. In the event of a network failure, the line terminal will continue to operate using local data until the network is restored, at which time the locally generated data is

uploaded to the central database thereby providing an unbroken audit trail of events. Packaging can be verified by the use of a 2D code, or other mark, via in-line scanning to ensure the correct packaging components are used continuously during a production run. If required, the system can be extended to include promotional stickers. If a fault is detected, for instance an incorrect label, or a no-read from the scanner or if the coder or labeller goes into ‘fault state’, the system has the ability to automatically stop the packaging line ensuring mistakes are avoided. 01928 790444 www.autocodingsystems.com

Mixer gives benefits

Different products and textures are achieved by varying speeds and mixing times on the mixer supplied by Advanced Engineering

Launch date pressures of its Glorious! Skinny Dip range of products meant TSC Foods had an urgent need for a versatile mixer that could be used to produce both coarse and smooth textured products in volumes of up to 500kg per batch. In the end, Advanced Engineering had just eight weeks to design, build and prove the new mixer required. The essential requirement from the new mixer was the combination of a high throughput capability and an assured product consistency for all the different products processed, which will include textured dips, and smooth, creamy food bases. “Although a challenge, we realised that essentially the solution was a package based upon our in-house mixer 2

experience while also using the electrical systems expertise of our sister company, QualTech Engineering Services,” explains Andy Hudson, Advanced Engineering’s managing director. The mixer supplied to TSC Foods comprised a large, toploading mixing vessel supported on two rotating arms located in an enclosed support structure either side of the vessel. The stainless steel vessel has a bottom mounted specifically designed chopping/reducing blade and a rotating anchor equipped with hinged PTFE scrapers to prevent product adhering to the vessel and ensure effective mixing of all ingredients. 01706 759003 www.aemixers.com

INTRODUCTION

Confidence boosted by investment successes Despite the continuing uncertainty surrounding the euro zone and the implications this may have on British industry going forward, 2011 was seemingly not a bad year for many machinery manufacturers as a glance through the next eight pages will demonstrate. Investment in research and development has continued, despite the squeeze on cash flows, with half of the stories contained in this review outlining new product launches. Many of these new machines were launched at the two major shows of the year – interpack in Dusseldorf and the PPMA Show in Birmingham – but not exclusively. The rest of this review is made up of installation articles or in other words, proof positive that the UK manufacturing industry also continued to invest throughout the year. And this was particularly true of the food and drink sector. After a period of relatively weak but not unexpected results over the summer and early autumn, mechanical engineering firms say that orders from UK businesses are holding up better than orders from abroad. According to the Engineering and Machinery Alliance’s (EAMA) monthly Business Monitor UK, order intake has improved month on month with 45% of firms saying their order levels are up but things aren’t so positive on the export side. Even though firms outside the UK are facing turbulent times, 166,000 visitors made their way to Germany to visit interpack in May with many UK companies reporting sales success at the event. Come September, there was a very upbeat mood at the PPMA Show in Birmingham, where over 11,000 people walked through the doors. Many, it seemed, came with specific projects in mind to discuss with 18/1/11 14:48 Page 1 exhibitors. As for performances compared to last year, EAMA’s survey found that 55% of firms say that business is up, 14% say it is at the same level as a year ago and 31% say business is down. Nearly 70% that are still on an even keel: let’s hope for more of the same in the coming year.

Pick to belt for shoe conveying Footwear retailer Schuh has installed a pick to belt conveying system to speed up order picking, increase staff productivity and reduce picking cage congestion by enabling staff to pick and place products directly onto a conveyor belt for transfer to an existing automated sortation system. Astec Conveyors designed, manufactured, installed and commissioned the system, including controls, on time and within budget and without any compromise to existing operations. Individual shoe boxes are placed onto one of three 50 metre heavy duty conveyors that run the full length of a mezzanine floor at right angles to the racking and walkways to enable the fastest and most efficient batch picking process. As access to stairways and fire exits had to be maintained at all times, the system was designed with two sections of inclined/declined belt conveyors. To merge two of the belt

Labelling intelligently Logopak has completed the installation of two print & apply labelling systems involving a total of 29 machines – six of them double height pallet labellers – at the Bolton and South Wales plants of one of the UK’s principal tissue roll manufacturers. Fully integrated with the plants’ own management information systems, the labellers also help keep track of production progress, allowing real time presentation of efficiency statistics, from initial creation of jumbo rolls of tissue through to output of finished product on pallets. Initially, the project was to provide GS1 transit labels on pallets stacked two high, but Logopak saw that major cost savings could be achieved by using print & apply machines to identify bundles of primary packs in place of the plastic strips and ink jet printers previously employed. As a result, a total of 18 Logopak 515 print & apply machines have been installed to label bundles of tissue prior to palletising. These labels include retailer codes and other shipping information but also carry programming

Increased efficiency for famous teacakes

Success with the first line has lead Tunnocks to order a second

Increased efficiency is one of the main benefits of a new Schubert automated packaging line chosen by Scottish firm Tunnocks. The high performance line has

been installed at the Uddingston site to pack the famous Tunnocks teacakes, and is designed to pack either 6 or 10 teacakes to a box or 12 to a tray. The high speed machine packs

up to 67 cartons a minute for the 6 count carton and 40 cartons a minute for the 10 count version. The line can pack up to 400 products a minute and has a Schubert vision system incorporated for quality control purposes. Any mis-shapen or broken products are automatically rejected before the final packaging process. The system features a TLMF44 picker station which is used to pick up the teacakes and place them on to the grouping belt conveyor before being transported to the central loading operation. Each rectangular cardboard carton is erected from a flat carton blank and glued by hotmelt using a carton closing machine. A Schubert TLM-F2 loading

system then picks up the collated teacakes and loads them into the cartons. System flexibility means that products can also be packed into an acetate tray. Simply by changing the format parts, the machine can denest the tray, load the new format with complete inspection and discharge from the system. Tunnocks is so pleased with the installation that it has just invested in a second Schubert automated packaging machine to pack its teacakes. “Our operators have received exceptional training from Schubert,” confirms Boyd Tunnock. 01676 525825 www.schubert-uk.co.uk

Beverage packer can can ciders with ease Heineken subsidiary Universal Beverages (UBL) has invested in the future of cider with the installation of a canning line that was devised, designed, manufactured, installed and commissioned “in record time” by Krones UK. “Considering the timescales involved, the line is performing incredibly well, the detail on the plant specification was meticulous and offers us and our contract customers so many flexible options,” explains Neil Cockerton, commercial development manger at UBL. The Krones can line is located in a brand new filling hall, in the centre of which is the Krones Volumetric VOC-C 4.320-150-90 filler with a Ferrum seamer. A Contiflow blender/carbonator and a Sander Hansen tunnel pasteuriser has also been installed. 4

The collating robotic loader is a flexible machine available in three versions depending on speed and tracking distance needs

Ilapak has launched an open frame vertical form, fill and seal bagging machine to combine speed, ultrasonic sealing technology and easy accessibility for fast servicing and maintenance. The Vegatronic 2000 OF is suitable for prepared produce, salads, frozen foods and grated plus shredded cheese and is capable of speeds up to 120 bags a minute. Its open frame design provides a number of operational and hygiene benefits including fast access for servicing and maintenance, reducing downtime and so increasing efficiency and productivity. The Vegatronic 2000 OF’s design has minimised the number of moving parts and optimised their operation which, in turn, reduces maintenance costs throughout the life of the machine. With no holes on the external

side and rounded profiles, there are minimum cavities for bacteria to accumulate which makes cleaning the machine simple and fast. In addition to ultrasonic sealing, the unit also incorporates a number of new features such as an advanced control platform, advanced graphics, wide screen HMI and use of servo motors to improve speed and accuracy as well as increase efficiency and also productivity. The ultrasonic sealing design is said to improve seal integrity and efficiencies as it minimises the amount of product damage in the seal area and reduces leaker rates to a new low in industries such as salad and cheese. The machine produces a wide range of bags including pillow, block bottom, Quattro, stand up Doypacks and zipper packs. 020 8797 2000 www.ilapak.com

At the PPMA Show in September Kliklok International demonstrated its new collating robotic loader (CRL) and race track system. The CRL is a flexible machine ideally suited to handle the output from low to high speed wrappers and collate wrapped products into cartons or trays at up to 600 products a minute, with a maximum load of 3kg. It incorporates advanced design electronic motion control technology using a combination of variable frequency control, servo motor drives and a robotic Flex Picker. Three versions of the CRL are available depending on speed and tracking distance requirements, with optional modules such as a Carton Management System which allows cartons to be either

indexed into place or to be continuously moving while being loaded. Multiple CRL units can be positioned along a cartoner’s infeed conveyor to enable product from additional sources to be combined, enabling the full speed capacity of the cartoner to be utilised. Built-in ‘plug-and-play’ style communication between the CRL units creates easy production line expansion with the addition of further units. Alongside the CRL unit will be Kliklok’s popular ECT500 carton/tray former which is capable of handling an array of carton tray designs, formed from a single flat blank, from typical four-corner styles to complex hexagonal, octagonal and other multisided packages. www.kliklok-int.com

Ishida launches world‘s first fully integrated tray packing solution Ishida Europe has launched a high performance split duallane tray packing system for fresh foods that enables food manufacturers to create bespoke packing lines for their specific requirements and achieve significant savings in labour, downtime and consumables. The Ishida Flex-Line comprises a set of integrated modules that fit together to make up a variety of complete, high-efficiency tray packing lines, capable of handling a wide range of applications including different packaging materials and pack sizes while delivering speeds of up to 15 cycles per minute. The main Flex-Line modules cover filling, sealing, checking and case-packing. Specific equipment within these includes tray denesters, multihead weighers, tray fillers and sealers, foreign body detection, checkweighers, seal testers, label inspection and end-of-line packing, all of which are tailored to precise product

The Flex Line comprises a series of smart units that simply snap together to meet individual specifications

requirements. All units have been designed to work together in terms of product handling, signalling, data sharing, data collection and interfacing. One key feature of the FlexLine is its option to run two different products simultaneously and independently of each other. Those two products can differ in terms of type, size and weight and also in the type of tray or film used or in the MAP gas mixture. They can even be destined for two different endcustomers. The Flex-Line also

has the ability to allow one lane to be changed over while the other remains in operation. By sourcing all equipment from a single supplier, each system is fully integrated for maximum efficiency and reliability. Users benefit in particular from Ishida’s extensive expertise and experience in all areas of food handling and packing. The system is also highly space efficient to boost return on floor space by up to 50% compared with two traditional single lane systems.

The entire line can be set up via a sophisticated but easyto-use control from a single human/machine interface, including automated set-up and pre-programmed product details, with minimal manual handling. It also offers advanced remote supervision, monitoring and analysis. The result is perfect pack presentation with accurate filling and intact seals, while end of line quality control and traceability features ensure correct weight, contamination protection, seal integrity, correct label position and printed data accuracy. Such features reduce product giveaway and rework, and minimise manpower requirements, to deliver a fast return on investment. All Flex-Line elements are built to Industrial Design standards for ease of use, with an open design that benefits from self-draining curved surfaces and easy access for cleaning and maintenance, ensuring the entire system can meet the stringent hygiene standards of fresh food environments. 0121 607 7700 www.ishidaeurope.com

Ring wrapper meets lean needs A new generation ring wrapping machine presented at interpack by Robopac Sistemi meets lean manufacturing needs of today’s high speed production environments. Brushless motors drive the pre-stretch carriage making it stretch up to 400%, permitting continuous variations within the wrapping cycle controlled from the panel. To guarantee load protection against dust and water, the top inside device is used to accurately unwind the right amount of film to cover the product and centre the top sheet with only minimal

increases in wrapping time. Called the Genesis Cube, the machine is equipped with a film strip contraction system to guarantee higher stability and a patented spool change system to guarantee longer productivity without operator intervention. All in all, the machine offers excellent wrapped load stability, savings due to the minimum film consumption, high reliability with simple maintenance and reduced environmental impact. The machine is available from Aetna in the UK and general manager Colin Barker says the

Aseptic PET filler for medium sized bottlers

The compact sized aseptic filler allows medium sized bottlers to handle relatively small batches for the first time

Krones has developed and field-tested a compact sized aseptic filler to allow medium sized bottlers to handle relatively small batches of PET bottles in aseptic mode in a cost efficient way. With the PET-Asept D Compact for dry-aseptics, Krones has created a genuine

aseptic solution and a flexible machine to handle low outputs without any cost penalties. It no longer needs any sterile-water UHT system in order to operate as the containers and the isolator are sterilised with gaseous hydrogen peroxide. The machine itself is cleaned

using caustic and acid, which means that peracetic acid and foam cleaning products are no longer required on the system. The small footprint on a minimised floor area is comparable with linear machines, says Krones. In the core section, the containers are passed by a

gripper conveyor system first through a pre-warming zone, then sterilised by means of gaseous H2O2 before entering the blow-out section of the steriliser. After this, the containers are filled and then capped. The height adjustable conveyor is already isolated from the sterile zone, which means that minimised change over times are achieved without any handling parts needing to be replaced. This new machine has an output range covering 6,000 to 12,000 containers an hour. The PET-Asept D Compact can be installed as a stand alone line component or monobloc-synchronised with a stretch blow moulding machine. A first line featuring the PETAsept D Compact was delivered to a German bottler earlier this year. 01942 845000 www.krones.co.uk

Arms lift reliability Logopak has supplied Arla Dairies at Westbury, Wiltshire with three high resolution print & apply case labelling machines equipped with carbon-fibre application arms to allow traded units of butter from three new production lines to be labelled reliably on the front of the pack. The shelf-ready cases emerge short edge leading from the wraparound case packers for labelling which dictates front of pack application, the most demanding orientation for print & apply machinery, as Logopak UK general manager Wilson Clark explains: “Front of pack labelling, usually involving head-on physical contact with the pack, imposes considerable mechanical strains www. m a c hine r yup da te. c o . uk

on equipment. However, using specially designed carbon-fibre application arms provides additional strength and ensures the reliability of the labelling process.” The three Logopak 515 labellers are also equipped as standard with 300dpi thermal transfer printers to provide extra resolution to maintain high levels of readability for text and the GS1 128 barcodes. In addition, Logopak is supplying Arla Dairies with a special combination of label substrate and adhesive that allows the labels to be removed cleanly from the packs as they are loaded onto shelves. 01904 692333 www.logopakprintandapply.co.uk MAC H I NE RY U PD ATE: JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2012

High output motor launch Baldor has expanded its RPM AC range of high efficiency, permanent magnet-based motors to power output levels of 900kW (1200 HP). The RPM AC motor product line performs like a high power servo motor with very low rotor inertia and high power density, and is now available in IEC frame sizes 112, 132, 160, 180 and 280 with permanent magnet (PM) rotor construction. The addition of the 280 frame size to the RPM AC PM family significantly increases the product power range with synchronous speed performance. The latest addition of the finned laminate 280 frame version – the DL280 – extends the product lineʼs power output range to 600kW (800 HP) in totally enclosed blower cooled IP55 form, and 900kW (1200 HP) using open force-ventilated, IP23 construction. Baldor RPM AC PM motors have high efficiency performance that exceeds IE3 levels. This is achieved by virtue of its highly power dense, low loss rotor design where the permanent magnets are actually embedded within the rotor laminations. This enables the motor to run cooler than conventional PM motors where the magnets are affixed to the outer surface of the rotor. This benefit can also lead to a smaller frame size in comparison to conventional PM motors. These motors are all designed to provide continuous constant torque performance from zero speed up to base speed for use with closed loop PM AC drives. 01454 850000 www.baldor.com 28

Technology combines to bring automation gains Swedish company HMS Industrial Networks is now integrating Powerlink into its Anybus modules to meet demand for a network technology that combines a high degree of reliability with high speed data transfer. The first Powerlinkcompatible product – the Anybus CompactCom – was unveiled at last year’s SPS/IPC/Drives exhibition in Germany and mass production is expected to begin in the second quarter of this year. “Anybus integration opens up an additional 900 first-rate automation hardware products that can now be easily included in Powerlink-based systems,” says Stefan Schönegger, manager of the Open Automation Technologies Business unit at B&R and chairman of the Ethernet Powerlink Standardization

Staffan Dahlström, general director of HMS (left), and Stefan Schönegger from B&R and chairman of EPSG

Group (EPSG). “The integration of Powerlink in Anybus is a win-win situation for both Anybus and Powerlink, but most of all for manufacturers of automation devices and their customers,” says Staffan Dahlström, general director of HMS. With Anybus, HMS

introduced a network card that can connect practically any device with any network. It has since grown to become a palette of modules that can either be inserted or fully integrated into automation devices. 00 49 30 8508 8529 www.ethernet-powerlink.org

Meet safety needs with speed The new MOC3SA speed monitor from Sick (UK) offers improved speed limiting functionality on machine tool and general rotating machinery while enhancing the ease of set-up and maintenance. Competitively priced, it enables engineers and factory managers to meet safety requirements with

greater day-to-day production flexibility and less downtime. “Sick’s configurable safety controller, Flexi Soft, introduced the concept of a simple standstill monitor,” explains Iain Keetley-Smith, safety specialist at Sick. “Now we are launching our new MOC3SA speed monitor as a dedicated safe speed and standstill relay to

add further capabilities.” A typical application for the standstill function would be to limit access to an area until the machine has come to a complete stop. Once this has been detected a solenoid is released from a safety gate switch allowing access. 01727 831121 www.sick.co.uk

regulations

Machine builders and EMC Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is an issue that many machine builders find complex and confusing, but that doesnʼt mean that they can ignore their legal obligation to ensure their products meet the requirements of the EMC Directive. Paul Laidler of Laidler Associates explains There can be no doubt about the need for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). If, for example, the control system of a machine is disturbed by electromagnetic interference it may randomly malfunction, creating a potentially dangerous situation. Conversely, if the electrical and electronic systems fitted to a machine generate a high level of interference, they may cause other nearby equipment to malfunction. It is to help guard against situations like these that the EMC Directive, 2004/108/EC, was put in place. In the UK, this directive is implemented by the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Regulations 2006.

Several implications To understand the implications of these regulations for machine builders, a good starting point is to look at the Guide to the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Regulations 2006, which can be downloaded free of charge from the Department for Business Innovation and Skills website – www.bis.gov.uk. Section 2 of this guide, which covers essential requirements, includes statements that can be summarised as saying that equipment must be designed and manufactured so that the electromagnetic disturbance it creates is not excessive, and so that it has a reasonable level of immunity to electromagnetic disturbances. In addition, fixed installations – which includes the majority of machines – must be installed applying good engineering practices and respecting the intended use of its components. 30 32

Then comes a very interesting statement, “There is no conformity assessment or CE marking requirements for fixed installations”. This statement is taken directly from the guide, but does it really mean that builders of machines categorised as fixed installations have no need to concern themselves with the EMC performance of their products? Indeed it does not. Note that this same section of the guide contains the words, “the essential requirements for all equipment are set out in Regulation 4”. In other words, machines that are regarded as fixed installations must still be designed and manufactured so that they meet the essential requirements – the only relaxation of the rules relates to assessment and marking, not to performance! But how can machine builders be sure that their products really do have satisfactory EMC performance? Itʼs very tempting to think that the answer is to use only components that are themselves compliant with the EMC Regulations. Surely, if all of the components used in a machine satisfy the regulations, itʼs reasonable to conclude that the whole machine must also meet the regulations?

Compliance Unfortunately, thatʼs not how it works and itʼs relatively easy to see why. Consider, for example, a variable speed drive that, for the sake of argument, produces a level of electromagnetic interference about half of that acceptable under the regulations. Clearly, thereʼs no problem in stating that this drive

M ACH INE RY U P D AT E: JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2012

A guide to the EMC regulations can be downloaded free of charge from the Department for Business Innovation and Skills website

complies with the regulations. Now put four of those drives on a machine. Is it reasonable to assume that the machine complies with the regulations, simply because each of the drives is compliant? Probably not. The machine may be compliant, especially if measures to control EMC have been incorporated in its design, but the point is that it canʼt be assumed to be compliant.

Test to be sure In fact, since there is no proven way of calculating or modelling the EMC performance of a machine, it is the opinion of Laidler Associates that the only way compliance can be verified is by testing. This opinion may be considered by some as rather controversial, but when the Health & Safety Executive was asked to comment on this issue, it provided the following statement: “Section 6 of the Health & Safety at Work Act (HSW) places a duty on manufacturers to carry out or arrange for the carrying out of such testing and examination as may be

necessary to ensure that the article is so designed and constructed that it will, as far as is reasonably practicable, be safe and without risks to health. In the context of EMC, in most applications it is the electromagnetic immunity of equipment that is of interest in relation to Section 6 of the HSW. If it is reasonably practicable to carry out testing for immunity to electromagnetic disturbances, the HSW requires this to be carried out.” This statement leaves no room for doubt about the necessity for EMC testing of machines in the vast majority of cases, says Laidler.
