e are coming into an important time of the year as the EOFY approaches and foodpro is set to return to Sydney in October, the first time since 2017. Hopefully the recent spike in COVID case numbers in Sydney doesn’t impact preparations for the trade show.

As the newest editor for Food and Beverage Industry News, I am looking forward to seeing so many industry leaders in person for the first time and being able to see a range of products being displayed.

Despite already knowing the importance of the food and beverage industry, my first months on the job talking to manufacturers and producers has taught me so much about the critical role every facet of the supply chain plays.

Many of the companies that Food and Beverage Industry News spoke to this month are excited by the return of the popular trade show, with many of them set to unveil new products on the showroom floor. foodpro has been circled on many calendars for quite some time now and with just a few months until the event, things are starting to heat up.

This special edition of Food and Beverage Industry News features a foodpro guide, listing all the exhibitors that will be showcasing products during the four-day event starting on October 10.

Since the last foodpro in 2017, many of the companies attending the event have a range of innovations and new products to display, from software to industrial machinery, it will all be on show in October.

The importance of such a trade show can’t be understated and many companies expect to see upticks in orders and industry engagement.

No longer are we restricted to digital meetings and phone calls to broker deals. Finally, decision makers will be given a chance to get hands on experience with the latest products in the food and beverage industry. Being the first foodpro in a handful of years means many companies will be given the chance to demonstrate progress towards 2025 sustainability targets.

This month’s edition of FBIN also profiles Australian-owned company MILKLAB for our Meet the Manufacturer feature. The company specialises in milk alternatives for barista made coffee and has seen growth year over year since it was founded in 2015.

We also speak with a range of companies looking to showcase at foodpro, including Gold Peg, Burkert and GS1, who are all offering products in different areas of the industry.

The event is set to be a big one and I look forward to meeting everyone there.

Have a great month.

Pacific Boilers selling unique steamer P A Rolls Royce industrial steamer is looking for a new home.

acific Boilers, a specialist boiler refurbishment and sales organisation, is looking to sell off the ‘unique’ Rolls Royce Industrial Steamer as soon as possible.

Pacific Boilers describes the D Type Watertube steamer, which was built in 2000, as being in excellent condition with a boiler size of 38m.w.

The machine runs on natural and refinery gas with an output of 60 tonnes per hour at 33 bar and 370°C, it can also supply a back pressure turbo-gen set (3 m.w. elect) and still provide 60 tonne/hr @ 10 bar saturated steam.

The auxiliary equipment, which will come with the steamer, includes a 20m flue, 50m3 feed tank, blowdown tank and a new Ecomomiser at cost.

Upon purchase the steamer will be refurbished in Brisbane.

The refurbishment includes new control panels, feedwater pumps, a

feedwater modulation valve station, F.D.Fan with VSD, a gas train and O.P.S.O regulator, flame scanner with fuel/ais ratio control and water level controls.

Other refurbishments will include new field wiring, pressure and flow transmitters and TDS controlled blowdown.

The steamer can be offered with its superheated output to drive a back pressure turbo-gen set, or the superheater could be removed for saturated steam up to 36 bar.

As the pressure parts are in such good condition Pacific Boilers will offer a full 12 months on the pressure parts, with the usual condition of water quality maintenance.

A selling price will need to be estimated pending the specifications of the end user and the company can also offer a price for installation anywhere in Australia, or elsewhere. F

Rabobank Winter Crop Outlook predicts near-record planting G

lobal agribusiness banking specialist, Rabobank, has released its 2021/22 Winter Crop Outlook report showing Australia’s national winter crop planting is forecast at 22.93 million hectares.

This will be the second consecutive near-record winter crop planting, due to excellent prices and good seasonal conditions. It is up two per cent on last year and within one per cent of the nation’s record-high winter crop planting in 2016/17. This acreage represents an area eight per cent above the five-year average.

According to the report, Australia’s estimated wheat harvest is 28.9M tonnes, barley is 10M tonnes and canola of 4.1M tonnes.

Substantial rainfall and good soil moisture profiles across many parts of the country set Australia

up for a strong winter grain crop, according to Rabobank grains and oilseeds analyst and report co-author Dennis Voznesenski.

“With the Bureau of Meteorology forecasting a 60 to 75 per cent chance of the east coast and South Australia exceeding median rainfall for the next three months, this should set crops up well and have a positive impact on yields in those regions,” said Voznesenski.

The report noted that some states had fared better than others due to seasonal conditions coming into planting.

“While most regions had excellent opening rainfall, particularly in Western Australian and northern New South Wales, not all have been so fortunate,” Voznesenski said.

“In parts of South Australia and western Victoria, less favourable

conditions have meant we will not be able to factor in a year-on-year increase in area planted in those regions, despite prices incentivising many other regions to expand total area.

“So, the forecast of further rainfall will be particularly welcome in South Australia and western Victoria, where the soil moisture profile was far less optimal than hoped for coming into planting,” he said.

“For Western Australia, conditions have been very favourable for the opening to the planting season due to the rainfall associated with Cyclone Seroja. So, while WA is only forecast to receive average to below-average rainfall in the next three months, the impact should be softened by the favourable soil moisture at planting.”

Specifically, Rabobank’s Winter Crop Outlook has determined a three per cent increase in wheat planting

(13.3m hectares), while canola planted areas are expected to climb by 14 per cent (2.7m hectares).

Barley planting is down by around six per cent (4.2m hectares), with oats declining eight per cent (0.9m hectares). F This will be the second consecutive near-record winter crop planting in Australia.

ALDI achieves 100 per cent renewable electricity goals A

LDI Australia operations are now being powered with 100 per cent renewable electricity six months ahead of schedule, making it the first Australian supermarket to rely solely on renewable energy sources.

This has resulted in reducing ALDI’s CO2 emissions by 85 per cent.

A three-pronged approach was used to achieve this including on-site generation via an extensive network of solar panels across ALDI stores and distribution centres, off-site generation through Power Purchase Agreements with two wind farms and acquisition of market renewable energy certificates.

In becoming 100 per cent renewable, the supermarket will annually prevent over 274,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions from entering the

atmosphere, the equivalent of powering 59,677 Australian homes or taking 80,588 cars off the road for one year.

“As the 67th biggest user of electricity in Australia, we recognise the significant role we have to reduce our impact on the environment and contribute to a more sustainable

future,” said ALDI Australia CEO Tom Daunt said.

By the end of 2021, ALDI will have installed over 104,000 solar panels in 274 freestanding stores and six Distribution Centres, generating clean energy on-site via industry partner Epho. This partnership with Epho

ALDI has beaten its renewable target by six months.

has also enabled 150 employees and contractors to retain their jobs during the pandemic.

“Supporting ALDI with their renewables ambition makes the Epho team immensely proud,” Epho managing director Dr Oliver Hartley said.

“Last year, at the peak of the program, we delivered 100 solar systems on ALDI stores in 100 business days. This kind of speed is only possible because ALDI and Epho have built a strong partnership over the years.

ALDI has also taken steps to reduce its total electricity usage, such as using LED lights to reduce lighting energy consumption by over 50 per cent and trialling natural refrigerant technology. F

NSW Plastic Action Plan reduces plastic and waste in food and grocery industry T

he NSW Plastic Action Plan and Waste and Sustainable Materials Strategy has been released as an integrated approach from the NSW government to manage plastic and develop a long-term waste, litter and recycling plan.

According to the Australian Food and Grocery Council (AFGC), representing Australia’s food and grocery manufacturing industry, plastic packaging has a role in maintaining food and grocery product quality and safety, extending product life and reducing food waste. However, this needs to be balanced with the detriment that plastic can cause to the environment.

Recognising this, food and grocery manufacturers are working to reduce their reliance on virgin plastics and other packaging materials and increase

recycling and re-use rates.

“Balancing the needs to preserve food, reduce food waste and ensure community health and safety by producing high quality food and grocery products, while increasing recycled content and improving the end-of-life management of packaging, is a complex task,” said AFGC CEO Tanya Barden said.

“There is much to be done in the evolving space of developing food grade recycled content so the government’s focus on R&D funding to support increasing the amount of recycled plastic in products is a welcome start.”

The food and grocery sector supports the Plastic Action Plan, which strikes a balance for all sectors to collaborate and develop a much-needed plastics circular economy, according

8 Food&Beverage Industry News | July 2021 | www.foodmag.com.au

NSW Government continues push to reduce plastic waste.

to Barden.

“The AFGC is leading the development of the National Plastic Recycling Scheme (NPRS) with the aim of dramatically increasing the collection and recycling of soft plastic packaging such as bread bags, toilet paper wrap and confectionery wrappers,” she said.

“The NSW Plastic Action Plan support for R&D and trials to find innovative recycling solutions and increase the recycled content in food and medicinal safe packaging is much needed and welcomed by industry.

“Providing a clear policy framework supported by innovation funding support will drive industry confidence and actions towards creating a circular economy, where packaging materials are not only collected locally but recycled locally, to produce high quality material able to be remanufactured into food grade packaging,” said Barden.

The AFGC also supports the NSW Government in reducing carbon emissions through requiring food and organics collections by 2030 and supporting the recovery of biogas from waste materials. F

MEET THE MANUFACTURER

MILKLAB raising the bar for dairy alternatives in coffee Freedom Foods group general manager of marketing Serge Costi speaks with Food and Beverage Industry News about how MILKLAB has carved out its place in the market by creating alternative milk options that are specifically formulated for barista made coffee.

T

he founders of MILKLAB, from Freedom Foods Group, saw a hole in the barista made coffee market in 2015 and decided it was the right time to capitalise, five years later that decision continues to pay off.

“We were the first brand to be developed specifically for coffee,” said Freedom Foods gourp general manager Serge Costi.

“There were other plant-based brands that performed in coffee but nothing which was designed just for coffee that offered a range of milk options like us, from almond to soy, coconut, macadamia, dairy and lactose free.”

“MILKLAB is essentially a one-stop milk shop for the food service channel.”

Costi said the company knew from day one that to find success in the market they would need some expert input and feedback by employing the services of industry experts.

“We really wanted to have that full-service range for baristas. To develop that range we worked in collaboration with the industry, working with a range of expert baristas, roasters and q-graders who all helped develop the formulations for the brand,” said Costi.

“We found certain parts are growing exceptionally well, like lactose-free and almond, which are both on trend at the moment. But cafés want choice so that is where coconut and macadamia allows them to offer something new and different to customers. The range was built out with the coffee experience in mind.”

MILKLAB knew tapping into the expert industry knowledge of café owners and baristas would be an invaluable tool in creating its product range.

“Baristas pride themselves on the coffee that they deliver to their

customers, so they only accept the best and they were the ones who really adopted MILKLAB and were advocates for it from the beginning,” said Costi.

“Because the baristas’ pride is on the line, they need the best milk and the best coffee to deliver an experience that their customers expect. It was through trial and repetition with the industry to get where we are today.

“That industry feedback was essential when the brand formed and its essential to MILKLAB’s success now. It’s the same approach we take on any new product, working with the industry and trialling the product with them before tweaking and revising it and going from there. That is how we put out the best quality plant-based and dairy milks.”

MILKLAB’s extensive range of products, which includes almond, soy, coconut and macadamia, are only available to cafés and qualified baristas, but that hasn’t stopped the company from fostering a strong consumer base.

Costi credited MILKLAB’s approach with creating a ‘cult-like’ following for the brand.

“People have started requesting MILKLAB by name, and we get a lot of mail from consumers saying that it really annoys them when MILKLAB isn’t available. The daily coffee ritual is very important to people. You don’t want to mess with that,” said Costi.

The Australian-owned company also puts special emphasis on sourcing locally made and premium ingredients for its product offerings.

“For us it’s about using the best quality ingredients, like our new MILKLAB Oat product where we use the best 100 per cent Australian oats, or getting the best dairy from Shepperton, for example,” said Costi.

The company has two production

10 Food&Beverage Industry News | July 2021 | www.foodmag.com.au

factories, one in Shepparton and another in Ingleburn.

“Ingleburn is a world-class facility producing MILKLAB plantbased beverages and then there’s the impressive Shepparton facility, which produces MILKLAB Dairy, using the highest quality dairy from the Murray-Goulburn region,” said Costi.

Sourcing locally was important, but the quality of ingredients was essential for MILKLAB to find the

perfect alternative milk formulation that would hold up to the baristamade coffee process.

“Having close relationships with the farmers is at the heart of what MILKLAB and Freedom Foods is all about. For our dairy, being positioned there in the MurrayGoulburn region (northern Victoria) means we’ve got access to some of the best dairy in the world straight from local farms. It’s a seamless flow from getting the best quality

MILKLAB formulates alternative milks for barista made coffee. milk and having great quality partnerships, which lead into great quality products.

“For our plant-based milks, we always look to source locally first, however, if the best quality ingredients aren’t available here in Australia then we will look

offshore. We’ve perfected the mix of ingredients that allows the milk to stretch, to texture and mimic the properties of dairy so you have that nice creamy and velvety milkalternative in your coffee.”

After five years in the market, MILKLAB has seen continued

growth, even in the face of the 2020 global pandemic.

“The brand continues to grow very well, and that demand has been there consistently from the start due to the industry demand for MILKLAB and increasing demand for MILKLAB overseas,” said Costi.

“2020 was disruptive for many in terms of shipping and bringing goods into the country, but we were shielded from that due to being Australian made. We were able to provide a consistent supply to the trade. It highlights the benefits of Australian manufacturing and the

MEET THE MANUFACTURER

importance of it, which we are big supporters of at Freedom Foods Group.”

Costi said MILKLAB was also well positioned to launch its MILKLAB Oat product, especially with some semblance of café normality returning across the country.

“The future is looking bright for us, firstly, we need to focus on our launch of MILKLAB Oat. Secondly, we will continue to collaborate with the industry in terms of improving the coffee experience,” said Costi.

“And then finally we are going to continue to build the brand with consumers through advertising, events and sampling.”

Currently, the export market makes up around 10 per cent of MILKLAB’s business and is growing rapidly.

“For context, our domestic business makes up about 90 per cent of the MILKLAB brand. And over time that percentage will shift as we aggressively grow our export business,” said Costi.

“We will focus on our key export markets like China, Southeast Asia,

South Africa and the Middle East.

“There is a lot of room to grow in those markets, and we have a talented and dedicated team focused on building distribution there.”

Another critical piece in MILKLAB’s growth was the launch of its very first advertising campaign.

MILKLAB has also prepared accordingly should the brand continue to grow rapidly in the domestic and overseas markets.

“Over the past five years we’ve consistently reviewed where demand is at and where our supply can meet that demand and we have scaled it up accordingly, and will continue to do so” said Costi.

MILKLAB is well positioned to continue its rapid growth and has been giving back to the industry which helped it over its first five years in the market.

“We had a free coffee day at some of out participating cafes. It was a big push around the birthday, and it was exciting to see the engagement from the trade. That was a very exciting moment for us in the MILKLAB journey,” said Costi. F

Serge Costi, Freedom Foods group general manager of marketing, said the company saw a hole in the market and found success filling it.

MILKLAB entered the alternative milk market in 2015 and has found success every year since.

PROCESS CONTROL

Calibration check technology, the temperature sensor that checks itself Process reliability and constant product quality are crucial in the food industry, whether in the manufacture of beverages, confectionary, dairy or in meat processing.

T

he slightest impurities can cause great damage to a manufacturer, such as the product recall of entire production runs or expensive downtime, and then there is the damage to the brand reputation.

One such area of paramount importance is accurate and stable temperature measurements.

Analytical measuring sensors assist in the monitoring and control of these important areas of food production. This is highlighted with the newly released temperature sensor from ifm which comes with temperature calibration check

technology (TCC) that complies with the required standards and directives of 3A, EHEDG and FDA. The TCC means it is suitable for hygienic installations such as those in the food and beverage industry.

TCC technology is the sensor that checks itself. Temperature is one of the most important measurements used in process control and within the food and beverage industry, accurate and stable temperature measurement is vital for proper product quality and safety.

But, what happens if the process temperature is inaccurate? What if production managers could eliminate

product quality risk due to inaccurate process temperature measurement between calibration cycles?

The TCC gives immediate notification of deviations in accuracy and improved quality assurance between calibration intervals.

The TCC is specifically designed to combat the challenges of typical temperature products. ifm’s “Calibration Check” technology provides real-time continuous monitoring of instrument accuracy and measurement uncertainty. Leveraging the digital communication also provides better measurement accuracy and reliability than analogue since there are no signal losses.

Smart diagnostic technology monitors accuracy with two measuring elements in the tip of the sensor to react to temperature changes, with the microprocessor monitoring them for any potential decrease in measurement accuracy.

The TCC’s repeatability is less than 0.015°C so users are assured the instrument provides repeatable measurements time after time.

The new TCC technology is designed to give users peace of mind that food being produced is monitored 24 hours a day. It also monitors its own health and accuracy between calibration checks.

CIP processes are among the harshest to which instruments are exposed. The constant cycling between hot and cold temperatures

can quickly cause fatigue of the electronic components and therefore lead to drift and failure. Every CIP cycle is a potential source of drift.

Each TCC sensor is “tested beyond standards” to ensure ifm manufactures the most stable, reliable and accurate temperature products.

Throughout the development of this product, ifm engineers identified the primary causes of drift and failure.

The company tested these products and those of three other major manufacturers in its X-treme test lab. They simulated CIP in its thermal shock chamber with instruments being submerged in a bath at -15 °C for 10 minutes and then transferred immediately (< 10 seconds) to another bath at 140 °C. Drift was tested after every 50 cycles at a measured temperature of 123 °C. ifm took results shown for manufacturers B and C at a point where each unit failed. There is no data shown for manufacturer A, since its products failed after two thermal cycles.

The TCC measurement drifted < 0.2 °C and it did not fail even after 1000 cycles, at which point, ifm stopped the test.

Permanent status checking Due to the calibration check technology, the TCC permanently checks its own drift behaviour. The sensor compares the temperature value to the simultaneously measured reference value.

All of ifm’s process sensors, which include, flow, level, pressure, temperature and conductivity are made of food-grade materials.

14 Food&Beverage Industry News | July 2021 | www.foodmag.com.au

PROCESS CONTROL

If the deviation is outside the tolerance range, which can be set between 0.5 and 3K, the TCC provides an optical signal and sends a message to the central controller via IO-Link and the diagnostic output. The same applies to cases of serious malfunctions.

Quality assurance due to event-related measurement Particularly in production processes where exact temperature values are decisive for the product quality, it is important that the measured values are precise.

The TCC allows plant operators to take event-related measurements in case of drifts instead of waiting for the next planned calibration interval.

This reduces the risk of losing entire production batches due to faulty production temperatures.

Transparent sensor communication with visual and digital indication: The TCC provides the current status in a simple and clear way. If the LED on the sensor is green, the unit operates reliably.

Blue indicates a temperature deviation outside the tolerance range.

Red indicates a serious malfunction, such as a failure of the main measuring element.

TCC technology is the sensor that checks itself.

The TCC also automatically stores all the data required for consistent documentation via IO-Link: installation date, operating hours, temperature histogram as well as logbooks on event messages (operating hours and event number) and on the calibration check status

(operating hours, temperature value, drift value, limit and status).

All of ifm’s process sensors, which include, flow, level, pressure, temperature and conductivity are made of food-grade materials.

They have a hygienic housing designed and distinguished by high

ingress and temperature resistance and protection against high-pressure cleaning with aggressive agents.

The stainless steel mounting accessories are also specially designed for the food industry and come with protection rating IP68/69K. F

This protection enables the worker to position a pallet during operation without using any mechanical protective devices, while the robot continues to operate at a safely reduced speed.

The horizontal protection provided by the safety laser scanner enables the robot’s speed to be reduced gradually until it comes to a complete stop – and ensures that it restarts automatically as soon as the worker has left the hazardous area.

Only the vertical protection afforded by the safety light curtain will cause the robot to stop safely if the protective field is interrupted.

Linking handling robots An increased level of automation brings with it higher safety requirements for systems and processes.

Gold Peg is ready to showcase innovation at foodpro 2021 Gold Peg managing director, Simon Donnelly speaks to Food and Beverage Industry News about the company’s re-emergence into the Australian market.

F

ood processing experts Gold Peg are taking the opportunity to showcase new innovations to the Australian market at the 2021 foodpro trade show in Sydney this October.

Simon Donnelly, Gold Peg managing director said he was excited to share new innovations developed by the company and its new German parent company, Natec Hochland.

“At foodpro we will actually be showing some equipment which is very unusual for us. We will be taking a small research and development skid of our RotaTherm continuous cooker. This is where we started in continuous cooking, with this flexible and dynamic system which continues to provide innovative solutions to food processing,” he said.

“It will be the centrepiece for our foodpro stand, but our real focus there will be to reengage with the Australian market.

“Australia hasn’t previously been a big market for us because we had been focused on large-scale continuous cooking and most of our customers have been overseas in places like America, Europe, Japan, but now it has

changed with our broadened equipment range, which includes multiple batch cooker technologies. In addition, our history has been with dairy but now has expanded significantly to include a diverse range of products ranging from sauces and mayonnaise through to pet food and meat defatting processes.”

Donnelly said Gold Peg’s unique position, offering Australian machinery manufactured to the most demanding of German standards, is a big selling point.

“That’s really our focus, to show the Australian market that here on their doorstep is a company that offers a full range of equipment able to produce a broad range of different products, different capacities, different processes, and we can almost be like a one-stopshop for production rates starting as low as 100 kg/h,” said Donnelly.

Donnelly said the diversity in production created by its partnership with Hochland was something Gold Peg was keen to take advantage of.

“One real advantage we have here is that our parent company, Hochland, a large dairy company in Europe, provide the best R&D facility

Gold Peg will show off its newest innovations at foodpro 2021.

you could ask for because they are very demanding but very innovative in wanting high class machinery,” said Donnelly.

“It ensures your machinery utilises the most advanced technologies and obviously the highest qualities in build and sanitary requirements.”

Gold Peg is also looking to change the narrative around only being a continuous cooking system specialist.

“We are known within some markets for our continuous cooking systems, but we don’t want to be pigeonholed like that,” said Donnelly.

“We want the market to know that no matter the size of the company, where they are at in their business cycle, be it just an idea right through

to looking to build a new factory, we can join them and help them with a range of solutions from our batch and continuous cooking portfolio.”

“I think foodpro is a good opportunity for us to share this and show we offer high-quality Australian equipment that is totally accessible here, in Australia now.”

Donnelly said many companies within Australia were reaching a point where some machinery is due for upgrades, and Gold Peg can offer new equipment with real innovation.

“Companies are still making their products, but a lot of the plants and machinery is quite old in Australia, so a lot of companies are looking to upgrade to try and improve their processes to help make more money,” said Donnelly.

“Where we see our niche is being able to offer truly innovative products that can support the market,” The company hopes foodpro will give it the opportunity to showcase the advancements firsthand.

“We have some new approaches to processing that really are innovative and provide a lot of advantages to

the end users and that’s what we are going to be sharing at foodpro,” said Donnelly.

“We want to encourage a dialogue around our products and how our leading-edge equipment can help the customer get ahead and stay ahead within the industry.”

A new piece of technology being offered from Gold Peg is a magnetic emulsifier, the M4E. “This is used for making emulsions or dispersions, for example mayonnaise and cream cheese, and traditionally

they require high shear mechanical action,” said Donnelly.

“What the M4E technology offers, is the ability to create emulsifications or dispersions using a magnetic field so there is no requirement for highpowered mechanical devices and all their associated running costs.

“Utilising this magnetic technology is a truly innovative process and something we think will be of a lot of interest in Australia.”

Gold Peg also offers support to clients in optimising project outcomes

Gold Peg offers the Australian market a new project approach. from the initial discussions and continues after the installation of its products on site.

“Remote monitoring and assistance are a critical part of our portfolio and we are developing more after sales support products in this area. This can

include operational enhancements or predicative maintenance data as well,” said Donnelly.

These Gold Peg products can be found at stand D1 at 2021 foodpro trade show being held at the Sydney Showground from October 10. F

AJ Bush upgrades for safer operating efficiencies and reduced odours AJ Bush and Sons specialise in protein recovery so Hydro Innovations proposed the company use a Venturi-Aeration system as an alternative to traditional aerators.

A

J Bush & Sons (Manufactures) is one of Australia’s largest east coast protein recovery providers operating rendering and manufacturing plants in New South Wales and Queensland.

The plants specialise in processing animal by-products for the meat and butchery industries.

The NSW (Riverstone) plant’s collection area, in addition to Sydney Metro, ranges from Nowra in the south to Canberra, Dubbo and Bathurst in the inland and up to Newcastle and Tamworth in the north.

The material collected is recycled into products used for livestock, pet food, aquaculture, fertiliser and biofuels.

AJ Bush’s Riverstone plant has undergone numerous upgrades over the years, aligning with company goals of minimising waste, reducing the risk of pollution (odour), and the continuous improvement in providing a safe work environment for employees.

As part of this program, plant engineer, Nick Lawrance, contacted Hydro Innovations for advice and assistance in replacing aging surface (floating) aerators on its wastewater treatment system.

Lawrance wanted an aeration

system that could be monitored and maintained from the lagoon banks and provide a safe environment that operators could attend to maintenance and keep the aeration system at peak operational efficiency.

Hydro Innovations proposed a Venturi-Aeration system as an alternative to traditional surfacefloating aerators which can be considered difficult and potentially hazardous to service or maintain.

These surface aerators are usually connected to lagoon bank by cables and generally require operators to “paddle out” in a small boat to carryout work.

It was emphasised that by using Venturi-Aerators, asset owners can minimise WHS risks and reduce maintenance and operating costs..

Venturi-Aerators can produce the desired level of mixing and dissolved oxygen with all the equipment located on the banks of lagoons/ponds, not in or on them.

The rendering plant had been operating five floating units and when one of these failed it was decided to install a Venturi-Aeration system to trial the effectiveness and operation of the system.

After a month of operation, good

The Venturi Aerator is used in conjunction with a self-priming pump. results had been achieved especially in the reduction of surface scum, maintaining required dissolved oxygen levels, improved operating efficiencies and contributing to lower odour levels.

The other benefit of the newly installed “bank-mounted” VenturiAeration system is the ability to quickly, safely and easily inspect the system or make any adjustments to the equipment if required, ensuring a safe working environment for operators.

Lawrance is pleased with the results and is considering replacing the balance of the old system with bankmounted venturi-aerators.

What is a Venturi Aerator?

A Venturi Aerator is a device used to mix and aerate tanks, ponds and lagoons; it uses Bernoulli’s principal, whereby a low-pressure area is created by an accelerated fluid.

The unit is used in conjunction with a self-priming pump. The pump draws water from the source and pumps it into the Venturi-Aerator.

Within the device there is an “acceleration zone” where the pumped fluid is accelerated, creating a low-pressure area within the “aspirating zone”.

Here it draws in atmospheric air

at the rate of 2.2 times the rate of the fluid being pumped.

The air and water then passes into the “mixing and oxidation zone” where the waste water and air are mixed under pressure.

The turbulent mixing facilitates the removal of substances with weak constants such as CO2 and VOCs. It also oxidises sulphur containing molecules such as hydrogen sulphide and mercaptans for effective odour and corrosion control, as well as reducing the size of organic molecules.

The fluid, saturated with dissolved oxygen is then pumped back into the source.

Because of the nature of the system (using a self-priming pump), mixing and destratification is controlled by the positioning of the suction and discharge of the pump.

Water can therefore be drawn from anywhere, and at any depth of the tank or lagoon, and can be discharged anywhere at any depth.

AJ Bush & Sons established its first plant in Riverstone, NSW, in 1956, and the family ownes company still operates from its original site.

“We emphasise high quality products, energy efficiency and a safe environment,” said a spokesperson. F

Vega adapting to challenges presented in 2020 VEGA continues to support customers during some trying circumstances. Food & Beverage Industry News explains.

W

hen there are troubled times within an industry, it’s nice to know that help is at hand if things begin to go wrong.

After unprecedented lockdowns within Australia’s borders, there are still essential services that must work through the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Alongside emergency services, food and beverage processing and manufacturing is vital in keeping Australians fed and watered and a key to keeping manufacturing moving is making sure plant and machinery is in top condition, and if there are issues, they are solved quickly.

VEGA is one company that has been supplying German manufactured, high-quality products to the food and beverage industry for some time now.

Like most companies, Vega is adapting to the new climate quickly and has people on the ground across

most states and territories.

“We’ve got three in Western Australia, one that covers South Australia and the Northern Territory, three in Queensland, five – including two service guys – in New South Wales, and two in Victoria,” said VEGA service manager, John Coulton.

“I support them by phone and also Zoom video and remote support if need be. Internationally, we have a 24-hour hotline and if a call comes to my mobile during Australian daylight hours, or if there are issues interstate, I will discuss with the BDM and work out an action plan taking into consideration travel restrictions in the present environment.”

VEGA is using a few strategies to help clients when it comes to troubleshooting. While it is ideal to be on the ground, with the possibility of lockdowns, other methods have been adopted.

“We’ve got everybody on Zoom, so that is our main way to support the industry in terms of our service and sales team to help with any issues remotely,” said Alex Mazor, VEGA’s marketing manager.

“We are available to help customers with product settings, adjustments and diagnostics.

Also, we’re remotely assisting our customers by being able to access VEGA software platforms such as PACTware using a remote function via IOS, Android and PC devices, so that helps them with any set up, product demo or backend configurations.

“Our service and sales team have a wealth of experience and utilising Zoom for them has been really central, especially when it comes to reassuring our customers that it is business as usual for VEGA.” Coulton gives a practical example of how this assistance works for both

VEGA and the client.

“We have a bagging company that is a client who bought two new radars from us and they tried to set them up themselves but didn’t have much success,” he said.

“So, the client set up the PACTware software package, and sent us some echo curves and that helped tell us what the issue was.”

PACTware is utilised similarly to a depth sounder in a boat. It gives users a graphical representation of what the radar can help them see, said Coulton.

“He was in the Riverina, so we connected to his computer via Team Viewer, and we saw what was happening albeit on a smaller scale.

We got drawings of the silo, so we knew what we were looking at,” he said.

“As you would expect the bagging system had a big taper, so it wasn’t a straightforward job. It took us two days to help set up the two different silos – we did one for one morning and the next one after that.

“We told the client what he needed to do in terms of aiming the radar – which is similar to aiming a torch and seeing where you shine it – and fixed the problem. We were seeing it live even though we were not there.

With our experience, we were able to fix it.”

Another example of support with the same software package comes with what VEGA calls a service recording. The customer does not have to understand what the issue is or to look at it.

All they have to do is connect it up to the sensor, which starts recording all the data – such as the parameters, echo curves, trends and an event model – and they can email that information to Coulton.

“I’ll take it home and a have a look at it and help them fix the issue,” he said.

“If it was something like the bagging issue, it might be that it is

VEGA continues to help companies during uncertain times. playing up where they’re filling it, and they need to do several changes to fix it.

“While he is doing these changes, I’m looking at it at the same time as him and helping him solve the problem. I treat it like it is a training exercise for them, as well as fixing the problem.”

VEGA Tools App One piece of technology that the company is utilising is the VEGA tools app, which can be used on either an iPhone/iPad or Android mobile phone.

“In the old days there were two ways of setting up an instrument – either pressing a button on the top or

a laptop. Now its Bluetooth, so the customer can pull out their iPhone or iPad or android device, and use the VEGA tools app. They don’t need a laptop anymore,” said Coulton.

“I was up at a mine in the Pilbara for a couple of weeks doing a training course. We did an exercise where the foreman decided to invite some of the young technicians who utilise a device, we call a hockey puck, which is connected to their phones via Bluetooth.

“They put it the puck on the sensor and put the information onto their iPhone and they sent me a screen shot of the problem. As with this exercise and in real instances, nine times out of ten we can fix the

issue if we can see what the issue is. It gives clients another tool to fix a problem.”

With Zoom, VEGA has gone a little bit further. The customer can have their phone on them, start the VEGA tools app, have all the settings ready, and can have a Zoom meeting and can show Coulton the problem that has occurred via mirroring.

“John can mirror his phone with Zoom and diagnose the problem,” said Mazor.

“It takes screen shots to the next level. The customer can see what is happening and so can John and can diagnose or change settings that way remotely. The sales team can work in

tandem doing the same.

“It really just takes troubleshooting and support to the whole next level. You can screen share to the service team using any IOS or Android and PC devices. That is going to be really critical and we are utilising the technology as much as we can to reassure customers that we are there for them.”

VEGA is also continuing product demonstrations live through Zoom, setting up a scenario where the company can go through the product with clients.

While the circumstances in which they work might have changed, the amount of support the company offers has not. F

FOOD PROCESSING

Heat and Control’s new spiral oven provides greater capacity Engineered for high volume, spiral ovens are used to cook a multitude of foods.

T

he Heat and Control spiral oven provides maximum baking capacity with a small footprint as an alternate solution to tunnel ovens.

It was developed to cook large amounts of meat, poultry, prepared foods, bakery items, breakfast cereal, and even dehydrated fruit and vegetables.

The oven can partially or fully cook a product and even facilitates dehydration before further downstream processing. The ovens can also develop and enhance product colour and are suitable for products requiring a long residence time.

Heat and Control sales and marketing manager, Greg Pyne, told Food and Beverage Industry News that the spiral oven was best suited to medium, and large-scale producers.

Pyne also explained the differences between the single-drum and twin-drum options.

“A single drum has one heating zone. All the product inside this oven is exposed to the same cooking environment. This can result in lower yields compared to the same product cooked in a twin drum,” said Pyne.

“The twin drum has the advantage of setting two very different cooking environments within the one system. The ‘up-drum’ can be set with high humidity to cook but not dry out a product, while the down drum can be set with a drier environment, often used to develop product colour.

“This results in less moisture loss from the product and reduced loss of yield, available factory space often determines which oven is chosen.”

The spiral oven is typically placed down-stream from a frying system and up-stream from a freezer. The fryer sets up the coatings and then the spiral oven is used to further cook the product and develop its colour.

The product is versatile in its ability to use dry heat, steam only, or

Heat and Control’s newest spiral oven maximises baking capacity. a combination of the two.

“Dry heat is used to develop and enhance product colour. The downside of this method is that moisture evaporates from the product resulting in smaller yields,” said Pyne.

“Moisture loss from the product also affects texture and palatability. By reducing moisture loss, a producer ensures higher product weights and a better tasting product, which leads to increased profitability.”

A food processor may use the steam option for a 100 per cent steamed product that doesn’t require any colour development.

This method transfers energy to the product with little or no moisture loss.

“By using a combination of both steam and dry heat, a processor

combines with dry heat to create a premium finish with high product

FOOD PROCESSING

yields,” said Pyne.

The spiral oven was developed over four decades and as such has a host of features, including a patented moisture control system and a continuous belt washing and drying system.

“This system was originally used in our MPO oven and later adapted for our spiral oven. It is easy to use and maintain with proven reliability and doesn’t use expensive sensors requiring frequent calibration,” said Pyne.

“Water spray and belt brushes ensure that the oven’s belt is kept clean during operation. A soak tank prior to the belt wash softens and loosens baked on grime making the job of cleaning the belt brushes much easier.”

The structure of this oven doubles as pipework for a clean in place system (CIP). CIP spray balls are placed to ensure all internal surfaces are sprayed during CIP. Nozzles on the cantilevers spray directly onto the belt to assist with cleaning.

“The CIP system has a continuous filter that reduces the risk of spray balls and nozzles being blocked and this reusable filter element is easily removed for cleaning,” said Pyne.

“Settings can be saved for every recipe and there is no need to change the settings every time. Options for automatic dosage of cleaning chemicals are also available.”

The unit also allows processors to use the entire width of the oven belt allowing for higher capacity outputs as well as having the capability to create a uniform temperature distribution.

“Uniform cooking temperature distribution ensures product is cooked evenly, irrespective of placement on the conveyor belt,” said Pyne.

“This benefits processors by delivering consistent results every time. The HMI/PLC provides the ability to create recipes for different products and eliminates the need for machine operators to record settings.”

The oven was also designed to be space saving and easy to move and install.

“The round shape of this oven removes any dead space from the process environment inside the oven.

The round enclosure, combined with a centrally located fan, means products are exposed to 360° airflow during cooking,” said Pyne.

The heat source for the oven is

chosen based on the product mix with thermal oil, indirect gas, direct gas steam, and electric all being viable options.

“Thermal oil, indirect gas and steam heating are usually used for meat products and are chosen so that the heat exchange (HX) can be cleaned via the CIP system,” said Pyne.

“The HX is hygienically designed to eliminate trap points for build-up.

Indirect gas heated spirals are used when processing chicken products where the by-products of combustion cannot impinge on the chicken meat.”

Electrical heating can be used for dehydrators where temperatures are low or if the customer has access to cheap electricity.

The unit is the only twin spiral oven that provides ‘True Two Zone’ uniform cooking control, which has been proven to cook meat products with low yield loses.

“The first zone can be used to get maximum heat transfer with a high moisture environment to gain high core temperature,” said Pyne.

“The second zone can be used to complete the pathogen kill and gain surface colour and texture without impacting on yield loss.” F

The spiral oven also reduces the carbon footprint.

The spiral ovens can be used to cook a large range of food products.

The spiral oven doubles as a clean in place system.

Critical pH monitoring for cultures A new study from global manufacturer Bürkert concluded fermentation is the nucleus of the production process and is performed under a controlled environment.

SM Food Specialties provides cultures, probiotics, biopreservation, sugar reduction and savoury taste solutions to the global food and beverage industry.

The company’s ingredients and solutions enable its customers to make healthier and more sustainable consumer products. It is a global leader in the manufacturing of products used in the dairy industry, with nearly 150 years expertise in microbiology and fermentation technologies.

These include the production of cultures and bio-preservation

solutions for use in applications such as cheese ripening, yoghurt production, beverage brewing, and lactose-free milk production.

Due to the nature of the products which are manufactured, there is a strong emphasis on system cleanliness – unwanted microbes can seriously compromise or destroy the finished product. Both CIP and SIP processes are utilised, in addition to inline process equipment having zero deadlegs, maintaining a sterile manufacturing process.

Fermentation is the core process Fermentation is the nucleus of the production process and is performed under a controlled environment.

The void between the product interface and the internal top of vessel surface is gas blanketed with either carbon dioxide or nitrogen, depending upon the characteristics of the culture or enzyme.

The most critical process parameters during fermentation are pH and temperature, with typical pH ranges for all products being between

5.6 and 6.4. Whatever the target pH, the value must be maintained with minimal deviation. For example, some cultures may only have a pH tolerance of ±0.1.

Fluctuations in pH can cause a number of undesirable results, such as reduced growth rate or reduced product effectiveness and variations in quality.

Where the culture consists of multiple strains, changes in pH can promote the growth of one strain over another, resulting in an out-ofspecification product. In the worst DSM Food Specialists’ solutions allow for more sustainable products .

SUSTAINABILITY

case, product can be destroyed, so the accurate monitoring and control of pH is fundamental to the success of the production process.

Fluctuations in pH can create undesirable results, such as reduced growth rate.

Enter the Burkert 8201 solution The pH monitoring technology previously used by DSM had a number of drawbacks, which set the company to looking for a more up-todate and effective solution.

With the previous system, pH probes needed to be replaced every three months, and they were not tolerant to clean-in-place (CIP) and sterilisation-inplace (SIP) processes, so cleaning required removal of the probes from the lines.

If the system was not operating for a time – for example over a weekend – then the probes needed to be removed from the line and immersed in distilled water to prevent measurement drift on start-up of the system when re-installed.

DSM Food Specialties had an existing relationship with Bürkert, and chose to replace their pH probes with Bürkert’s Type 8201 hygienic pH measuring system, which provided an effective solution to the drawbacks of the previous system.

The Type 8201 glass-free probe offers a robust and unbreakable construction, and a long service life with long calibration intervals.

The extremely smooth enamel surface of the probe inhibits the medium from sticking and is easy to clean in-line.

Due to its robust design and high temperature and chemical tolerance, the electrode can stay in the process even during a CIP or SIP purification.

This meant that DSM could dispense with expensive retractable fittings and would no longer need to remove the probe over the weekend or maintain a special probe storage environment.

External components of the Type 8201 system also offer an IP68 ingress protection rating, making them resistant to washdown processes.

Fewer intrusions and greater accuracy With the Type 8201, temperature sensing is also included in the same probe. A PT100 output is provided, removing the need for a separate temperature sensor, and thereby reducing the number of intrusions into the process.

Fewer intrusions into the piping

reduces the risk of either ingress of contaminants into the process or of egress of process fluids.

As well as integral temperature measurement, greater accuracy is also maintained via a constant supply of potassium chloride electrolyte.

Electrolyte level monitoring in the system’s pressure container prevents operation without an electrolyte, and when a minimum level has been reached, the electrolyte supply bottle in the pressure container is simply changed.

Ingredients and solutions enable customers to make healthier consumer products.

Solving a problem with a future-proofed solution Combined with Bürkert’s Type 8691 multifunction controller, full support of the Modbus TCP, PROFINET or EtherNet/IP protocols means that unlike the previous system, DSM will be able to integrate the new pH measuring system into an industrial Ethernet infrastructure in the future.

Type 8691 Control head for decentralised automation of ELEMENT process valves “Accuracy and stability of pH measurement is critical for optimisation of both product quality and yield,” said a representative of DSM. “Previously the reliability of pH measurement was a constant issue, but now the Bürkert solution provides the reliability we seek,” the whitepaper study concluded.

BIOTECH

Chr. Hansen has launched The Probiotics Institute With more than 55 million hits on “probiotics” online, it can be hard to find science-based information from trustworthy sources. Therefore, as an industry leader, Chr. Hansen launched The Probiotics Institute.

T

he new platform, The Probiotics Institute, provides educational and scientific content on probiotics and the human microbiome.

As the interest in probiotics and the microbiome continues to grow, not least during the past year where the world has found itself in unprecedented times, so does the number of misconceptions about probiotics and the benefits associated with them.

A new initiative from Chr. Hansen, a sustainable biotech company, sets out to clarify and provide clear information about probiotics to healthcare professionals and B2B customers on a global scale.

The Probiotics Institute is dedicated to education around the world of probiotics and the human microbiome.

The aim is to provide relevant and engaging content on probiotics and the probiotic strains and solutions that have been scientifically documented.

Available first in English and, subsequently, in several other languages, the information is presented in an easily understandable format.

In addition to the global version, Chr. Hansen is also launching The Probiotics Institute (China), a service in Chinese specifically designed to match the needs of the Chinese market only.

At the same time, a locally hosted

The Probiotics Institute provides educational and scientific content on probiotics. version of Chr. Hansen’s official website, in Chinese, is being developed and was launched in June.

A local Chinese server hosting the corporate website will make it easier for Chinese stakeholders to access the information on the website quicker.

“We are excited to launch this platform across a number of important markets to provide an even better service and inspiration to our B2B customers and health care professionals,” said Christian Barker, executive vice president of Chr. Hansen’s Health & Nutrition Division.

“We have a strategic ambition to shape the global probiotics market through scientific leadership and

expansion into new B2B customer groups and segments, and this initiative should be seen as a step in that direction.”

A scientific approach to probiotics The Probiotics Institute is designed to give visitors the optimal user experience by providing scientific information about the usage and different benefits of probiotics, ranging from infants to seniors, including a guide for choosing the right probiotics.

“It is our ambition that The Probiotics Institute will foster the engagement of users and become a natural forum of reference and interaction for healthcare professionals and professional science communities,” said Kevin Mehring, senior vice president for human health, Chr.Hansen.

“We know that it can be challenging for healthcare professionals and our business partners to distinguish reliable evidence from many conflicting scientific studies of varying quality.

“We want to help them make informed choices in the probiotic jungle. We will do this by providing high-quality content on The Probiotics Institute, relevant for professionals needing information, and scientific data or educational content within the field of probiotics.”

Mehring said Chr. Hansen’s role as specialists in probiotics means the company should help lead the way.

“We want to demonstrate Chr. Hansen’s commitment to education and increase the general awareness about probiotics with healthcare professionals and our B2B customers, based on our scientific approach to research and innovation,” said Mehring.

Chr Hansen has more than a century of experience in developing probiotics for the human microbiome, providing a range of health benefits and backed by science and supported research.

The Probiotics Institute provides science-based information on subjects like human microbiome, infant health, immune health, general information on probiotics and scientific studies data.

Some examples of the probiotics include Lactobacillus rhamnosus, the world’s most documented probiotic strain which demonstrates wide benefits, and Bifidobacterium, BB-12, which is associated with health benefits in several areas.

The best probiotic strains to support health are those that have been associated with health benefits in highquality scientific studies.

For example, the health benefits associated with the Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain do not extend to other Lactobacillus rhamnosus strains.

This means that the Lactobacillus rhamnosus, GR-1 is not able to exert the same health benefits as LGG, despite them both being Lactobacillus rhamnosus strains.

Chr. Hansen is a global, differentiated bioscience company that develops natural ingredient solutions for the food, nutritional, pharmaceutical and agricultural industries.

The company’s microbial and fermentation technology platforms, including its broad and relevant collection of around 40,000 microbial strains, have gamechanging potential. F

Hilco Global help companies find extra value in surplus assets Since launching the APAC team in 2019, Hilco Global has built an international reputation as specialists in helping businesses around the world understand and realise the value of its assets. Food and Beverage Industry News sits down with Adrian Paley and Luke Johnston to learn about their objectives and plans for future growth.

ilco Global built its reputation by helping companies of all sizes and types, including a range of manufacturers and producers, either sell off assets or completely close a processing or manufacturing site.

Hilco’s head of commercial and industrial, Adrian Paley, told the publication that understanding the value of an asset and how to sell it was of critical importance in so many situations, not just when a plant or factory is being closed.

“When we are engaged it’s our job to implement our knowledge and expertise on a global scale and come back to our clients and articulate what these things are worth. From there we take those assets and move them on to new homes,” said Paley.

Hilco Global has quite an extensive history in the food and beverage sector.

“We work in manufacturing and production closures across lots of industries including pharmaceuticals and manufacturing. We have worked extensively in the automotive manufacturing sector in the past, it just so happens there is a large focus on food and beverage at the moment,” said Paley.

Paley party attributed the extra focus on the food and beverage manufacturing sector to the emergence of more efficient technologies and machinery.

“Another part of it, a large corporate client of ours is exiting all plastic packaging in the next five years.

“They’ve got shrink and stretch wrappers that they are having us sell because they are getting away from plastics. It’s about sustainability to some degree but primarily this is about consolidation of sites and production efficiencies.”

“In the past a company like Lion might not have sold their equipment, however we are working with them to maximise the value of their surplus assets by selling into the wider market on a truly global scale,” said Paley.

Hilco Global senior executive of advisory and acquisitions, Luke Johnston, said the company had helped the major brewer see the value in asset sales.

“The equipment is so big in scale, typically we have to break processing lines apart and sell the assets to numerous people,” said Johnston.

“We are engaging with craft

brewers, wineries and multiple food processing companies at the moment, including overseas parties, as we work through the structured process of selling down the assets.

“We help our clients engage with overseas markets with direct access to extract value out of assets that are at the end of utility for the client and can be repurposed in a productive way. We are finding companies on significant growth trajectories and looking to future proof their operations showing interest, and this is incredibly rewarding for our team; helping create new opportunities for businesses from both buyer and seller” This is a premium example of some of the things that Hilco Global specialise in, no matter the size of the company.

FOOD MANUFACTURING

The future of workforce management in food manufacturing Food and Beverage Industry News speaks with Gideon Joseph, practice director, and Nick Crawford, practice manager, at Ultimate Kronos Group (UKG) about how purpose-built workforce management solutions can help food manufacturers to engage their employees, reduce labour costs, boost productivity, and minimise compliance risk.

A

ccording to Gideon Joseph, practice director at Ultimate Kronos Group (UKG), the organisation’s goal is to empower workforces and, in doing so, empower companies.

“We believe an organisation’s people are their most competitive asset,” he said.

Joseph said it’s important to start with the basics of “putting people first”.

“From an absolute base level, the key thing is to make sure you’re actually paying people correctly so that you’re building trust, engagement, and retaining employees,” he said.

“Then you have to ensure that

when you’re rostering people, you’re not just meeting compliance obligations under the industry award, but also complying with all relevant health and safety requirements.”

Those can include obligations around number of days worked in a row, proper enforcement of breaks during the day, proper training,

and licencing.

UKG offers comprehensive solutions in the fields of human capital management (HCM), payroll, and workforce management.

Joseph said an organisation must get the fundamentals right and set the foundation before it considers anything else.

UKG provides greater rostering flexibility and adaptability for both workers and managers.

34 Food&Beverage Industry News | July 2021 | www.foodmag.com.au

FOOD MANUFACTURING

“From there, we can start to think about initiatives that engage and empower employees,” he said.

“For example, instituting an accessible employee self-service solution, so that employees can update their availability and apply for annual leave on their mobile devices anytime that suits them, and be assured that the system is in place to assess and approve changes immediately.”

Such smooth-running processes can make the difference in retaining talent, an especially important concern right now for food manufacturers and growers.

A single solution Nick Crawford, practice manager at UKG, says that their offering, incorporating workforce management, HCM, and payroll into a single solution, offers great benefits to organisations in the modern, heavily regulated environment.

“Scalability is critical as businesses expand and grow,” he said.

“Recently, we’ve seen our food manufacturing clients ramp up production significantly to keep up with escalating demand. Being able to scale up a single solution, to hire and manage employee demographics, is tremendously useful. To have the unified solution work seamlessly with the employee-end experience is just vital.

“It eliminates potential discrepancies such that payroll can be relied on as the authoritative source of truth. It also provides visibility and insight into a holistic picture of how an employee works, as well as greater efficiencies.”

The need for integrated people management is particularly acute in the Australian context, adds Joseph.

He said that in the past few years, and accelerated by the headaches of COVID-19, there has been a shift in perspective in assessing the resilience of Australia’s food manufacturing sector, including the resilience of labour supply.

“Australia has one of the most complex employee relations systems in the world with our award requirements and the various other overlays,” said Gideon.

“That’s why UKG invests hundreds of millions of dollars each year in R&D to ensure that our product is compliant and efficient from a legislative and regulatory perspective.

UKG’s workforce and human capital management solutions help optimise the people management processes.

"UKG has enabled us to automate and streamline our workforce management processes, saving us time and money. With real-time visibility into our labour trends, we’ve been able to significantly reduce overtime hours and their associated costs and moving to a cloud-based platform means we no longer need to worry about the cost of having on-site hardware or running disruptive updates. We know we’re using the latest and greatest product and are future proofing the business in doing so."

Joe Esposito – national IT manager Tru Blu Beverages (A UKG customer)

productivity across the board,” he said.

Organisations need to act now to make their workforces sustainable, especially in today’s competitive job market where everyone is vying for the same people and employee types.

This aligns with the push to keep employees safe in their workplace, Joseph notes, as UKG rolls out smart facial recognition technology that enables employees to record their shift’s start and finish times without needing to touch the same machine as their peers.

“A number of our customers are also implementing mobile solutions that allow their employees to punch in and out on their own mobile device,” he added.

The demands put on food manufacturing companies over the past 18 months have also underscored the need to act proactively, said Joseph.

Lockdowns, border closures, and fluctuating workforce availability all during a time of massively increased demand, have put tremendous pressure on food manufacturers to increase productivity with limited means.

“Putting a workforce management system in place to take timeconsuming administrative tasks off employees and allow them to focus on their output, can be pivotal in meeting demand,” said Joseph.

The Industry 4.0 workforce If businesses want to scale, they still have to scale in the Australian context, and that’s where I think that products like what UKG offers are crucial in alleviating the manual workload that comes with complex compliance arrangements.”

He notes that Australia’s employee relations system is not only complex, but also prone to sudden and dramatic developments.

This includes the introduction in the past two years of an annualised salary requirement that puts the burden on organisations to track and document salaried employees to ensure they are receiving at least as much compensation as they would receive for actual hours worked under the relevant award.

“That’s not something organisations ever had to do before,” said Joseph.

“We’ve had a lot of contact in the past 18 months from manufacturing

businesses preparing to implement solutions to track and report on compliance from an annualised perspective. UKG’s single solution offers flexibility and adaptability to changing circumstances that is key in such an environment.”

The need to act now Nick Crawford said that the game has changed post-COVID, with pandemic labour restrictions creating friction with an already complex and expensive Australian labour environment.

As food and beverage manufacturing booms in the wake of COVID, Crawford said manufacturing organisations are being increasingly driven to optimise their businesses to remain efficient.

“With the recent growth we’ve seen, amid the intense cost of labour, there’s now a real need to shave costs as much as possible, while improving

The possibilities for automation and machine learning in HCM and workforce management are extremely exciting, said Joseph, both in terms of employee engagement and business optimisation.

“Once upon a time if you were sitting at home and saw last minute tickets to go on some fantastic holiday, you’d have to wait until you got to work the next day, fill out a form, wait for it to be assessed, and so on,” he said.

“The power of artificial intelligence and machine learning now allows you to actually configure a system so it knows how many people are needed, what conditions must be met, the number of people that can go on leave at one time, so that you can have automatic approval of that holiday.

“That’s better for employers and employees in terms of efficiency and satisfaction.” F

WASTEWATER

Wastewater specialists Aerofloat helps pizza maker meet industry compliance Michael Anderson, Aerofloat general manager of Engineering and Projects, speaks with Food and Beverage Industry News about the flexible offerings from the company.

W

astewater treatment specialists Aerofloat offer a client specific service with the capacity to tailor each project to the specific needs and requirements of any company, its most recent collaboration with Picasso Foods being a prime example.

The company can troubleshoot for clients, whether through managing variability in the wastewater flowrate, contamination levels or desired outcomes.

“We can cater to space challenges and budget constraints,” said Aerofloat general manager Michael Anderson.

“Aerofloat doesn’t just provide the same solution for everyone, it’s very much about customising for each customer given their wastewater flows, contamination levels and

desired outcomes.

“We can also automate systems to a very high level of manual solution. In this case we made it fit the space, worked with the client closely and also partnered with another company.”

Anderson speaks of Aerofloat’s latest project, installing a new wastewater treatment system for Picasso Foods, an Australian manufacturer of freshlyprepared pizzas.

“Picasso Foods are a rapidly growing, ready to eat, pizza company and the business has been growing for a number of years now,” said Anderson.

Most recently Aerofloat helped Picasso Pizza meet Sydney Water compliance.

38 Food&Beverage Industry News | July 2021 | www.foodmag.com.au

“When they took on the new site that they are in now they installed a grease trap which would take care of their wastewater. However, as the business grew the grease trap became too small and with trade waste requirements all around the country, in this case Sydney, Sydney Water enforced that they must get compliant for suspended solids, which is a limit of 600mg per litre and a fat grease limit of 100mg per litre, and have the pH in spec.

“We are a company that

specialises in trade waste systems and we were able to help the company with its compliance issues.”

Picasso Foods commissioned Aerofloat because of its speciality and ability to cater to a client’s unique needs and customise a solution to meet those requirements.

“We converted the old grease trap into a pump station and pumped it up to a treatment plant that we custom designed and installed in a space that was an old area where they had their outdoor lunch area,” said Anderson.

WASTEWATER

Aerofloat’s detail-oriented approach to wastewater treatment and afterservice enables businesses to have peace of mind about their treatment issues.

“All the wastewater goes into the drain and then into the ground through this grease trap and then into the sewer. We basically pump into an underground tank and pump it back to ground level and run it through our wastewater treatment plant and then transfer to the sewer connection.

“We take the waste and suspended solids out of the water, correct the pH level of the water and then we drop it into the sewer. We also measure the flow of the water leaving the site.”

Sydney Water conducted a series of tests on Picasso Food’s wastewater once the new wastewater treatment system was fully operational.

“And we are well under the acceptable trade waste limit, so it has been a successful project,” said Anderson.

Aerofloat’s detail-oriented approach to each project plays a large part in the success of its business.

“We get out there to do our full due diligence on the plant, we design the whole thing and have all the components manufactured. Then we install it, commission it and wire it with our in-house staff, which not a lot of companies do,” said Anderson.

“It means the client is ultimately dealing with one company managing everything from start to finish.”

But for Aerofloat, the job isn’t done once the new wastewater treatment system in installed and operational.

“We continue to support the relationship well beyond the capital project through operating and maintaining the plant and supplying chemicals to the company. The relationship continues for years and the customers like that because they know we will be sticking around,” said Anderson.

“The wastewater was a bit of an afterthought for them, so having Aerofloat provide the solution to satisfy Sydney Water, means they can now just focus on doing what they do best – making pizzas.”

Anderson said it was common for a company to overlook the importance of wastewater treatment systems, especially for a growing business.

“If you’re an industrial wastewater customer you put more heavily polluted waste into the sewer, it is serious in terms of its impact on the sewers and the treatment plant it is flowing to,” said Anderson.

“Sometimes it gets overlooked without realising the implications.

We do a lot of plants where this happens late in the piece. In this example the customer has outgrown what was satisfactory at the start.

Then they get too big and have to upgrade it not realising there is capital and ongoing costs.

“While you are compliant there is still a cost to discharge to the sewer in terms of discharge specification limits and volume. It can be a burden on businesses with some having high BOD loads in urban environments where expenses can prohibit operations based on cost.”

BOD is a measure of the amount

of oxygen used by bacteria to consume waste organic matter from the wastewater. The only way to reduce BOD is through a biological wastewater treatment plant, which Aerofloat has extensive experience and robust in-house products to contribute to the final plant design.

An Aerofloat installation takes on average 12 weeks from the beginning to end, according to Anderson.

“Time varies from project to project, but we will typically do a plant like that, we will be on site in 12 weeks and have it all said and done about a month later. We say about four months from the order to completion,” said Anderson.

“We have an inquiry at the moment, the EPA is on their back about their discharge being out of spec, it is a rural food manufacturer.

With that project there we can have it all running within 12 weeks or thereabouts.”

Aerofloat is a growing company containing specialist professionals such as process, electrical, environmental and mechanical engineers. As well as a strong automation and commissioning team.

“We cover all the disciplines and have a good range of in-house skills and a diverse team. It’s a great team of enthusiastic professionals who are dedicated to the job.”

As a growing company Aerofloat know the challenges of meeting new demands around wastewater treatment. F

FOOD PROCESSING

CBS Foodtech takes up latest slicing technology Ahead of foodpro 2021 Food and Beverage Industry News speaks with CBS Foodtech about its latest offering, which will also be on display at the industry trade show.

C

BS Foodtech recently released its newest product, which is part of the StartUp line, ahead of the foodpro 2021.

CBS Foodtech has taken up the latest slicing technology from TREIF. The Divider Startup offers one of the most compact slicers in its league, with fully featured slicing options like shingle, stacking and staggered stacks all possible on the one unit.

With an intuitive touch screen the operators can easily navigate to all the stored programs and make adjustments during production without any issues, speeding up the manufacturing process while doing so.

The unit can also be fully washed down and sanitised, offering some of the highest hygiene standards and disassembly, all without the use of specialised tools, streamlining the cleaning process.

The unit can also slice a wide range of items, from cooked products like hams and bacons, to cured meats such as salami and prosciutto, as well tempered fresh meats like shabu shabu.

All this is made possible due to the products patented cutting system and orbital blade, along with a large cutting window of 280 x 160mm and an infeed length of 600mm, the system gives this unit a wide range of applications.

With its compact design and integral wheels, the unit can easily be pushed in and out of production areas as required, making it a flexible allrounder for many slicing tasks and a product which can be used across a range of manufacturing areas.

The Divider StartUp is ideal for a

school canteen, commercial kitchens, butcher ‘s shops or for convenience production. The Divider Startup entry level model can provide a manufacturer with a flexible basis with which to work from.

A standout feature of the start-up is its mobility and high level of adaptability with the low weight and mobile base allowing the slicer to be placed as needed.

The compact design and space saving installation allows for flexible solutions on a daily basis and cleverly combines optimised handling through intuitive operation, the proven TREIF slicing technology and the hygienic design.

The blade slider also prevents stopping of the blade which ensures an extremely short product loading time, creating the positive outcome of minimising dead time during production.

With the Divider Startup’s circular blade slicer you can slice a wide range of products without the need to make any conversions to the machine.

Meanwhile, the intuitive menu guided operation, with touch display and intelligent assistance function, allows users to change products in a matter of seconds. Another function aimed at streamlining the production process is data transfer via a USB port, meaning a user can import or backup data with ease.

One of the other major benefits of the slicer, especially as the industry moves towards more sustainable production, is its ability to minimise energy output by allowing slicing to be

AUTOMATION

The future of intelligent palletising As Arnott’s has grown over the years and product lines have become increasingly complex, it was clear there was a need to upgrade to the next generation of smart palletising.

T

he 25-year-old Motoman palletiser that Arnott’s had installed in its NSW factory in Huntingwood in 1996 had well outperformed its lifespan, having produced several million pallets.

Arnott’s required an integrated palletising solution that would work within existing space constraints and provide the flexibility to handle a large range of shelf ready cartons at high speeds.

It needed to be easily programmable to support rapid product configuration and changeover.

Pallets would need to be checked, wrapped and SSCC labelled, and all of this was to be achieved with minimal manning.

Robotic Automation had earlier provided Arnott’s with a version of a trial palletiser, incorporating patented MOTOPAL 780 robotic gripper technology.

This trial system had been running successfully on a range of shelf ready cartons for about two years and had proven capable of handling every possible configuration, including some of the more difficult products.

The next step was to design a system that would fit the available space, which was located in a two-storey mezzanine at the end of the factory with access only to a single lift to the ground floor delivery dock.

As access to this mezzanine area is only via hoists for empty and full pallets, installation would need to use roof access via cranage.

The adaptable modular system design, featuring eight Motoman robots, achieves maximum floor space utility.

The use of windows based, smart MAX AGVs provides increased flexibility, whilst achieving required productivity. Employing proprietary Motoman MotoLogix software, robots can be completely programmed and controlled via the host AB-PLC. This means all unique product programs can be simply changed in

Arnott’s required a palletising solution that would work within existing space constrains and handle a large range of cartons at high speeds. an instant. The result is a modular palletiser system that is intelligent, versatile, flexible, and intuitive.

Arnott’s perspective Arnott’s Group regional project manager, Shane West, was the primary client point of contact throughout the project. He said that after 25 years, the existing palletising system [at Huntingwood] faced future obsolescence and was the catalyst to go to market for a new solution.

“We went out to a few suppliers but found others provided a more conventional solution, with product conveyors and the like, similar to what we already had and not lending itself as well to the available floorspace,” said West.

“Robotic Automation’s solution was more innovative; it was a cleaner and more modern solution that presented an efficient use of space.

“It offered ease of operation, requiring less operator movement across floors and stairs, and had less ‘moving parts’ meaning less likely reliability issues.”

Project commencement was pending construction of the new factory space, with mezzanine

level. “The first stage of the project commenced in December 2019, and obviously COVID then became a factor to work around in accessing site,” said West.

“Robotic Automation worked around this and were creative in programming the AGV tracks [for example] via livestream offsite.

“We ran the existing systems in parallel until we were confident that the new system was fully operational, then we cut over.”

As can sometimes be the way.

“The things that we thought might cause issues and planned for, were not a problem at all. There were a couple of things, though, that we weren’t expecting that caused us some headaches,” said West.

“We found that Robotic Automation were very helpful throughout the project, supporting us through these issues, and with training and ongoing support.”

West said that the solution has helped them achieve their business objectives.

“We now have a reliable system that is right-sized, modifiable and expandable for future growth; we can add robot cells or retrofit, and

the grippers are designed to handle a range of future packaging options,” he said.

“We are definitely happy with the end result and would consider Robotic Automation for any further work.”

MOTOPAL modular palletising system Key features and benefits include 8 x 8-axis Motoman robot cells. That’s 64 axes operating simultaneously, a world first. Along with the incorporation of Robotic Automation’s patented Motopal 780 Robotic Gripper technology.

The unique, fully servo grippers, are highly efficient and perfect for both end of line and multi robot centralised palletising applications.

It can handle virtually any type of carton and is especially applicable to ‘shelf ready’ cartons. With 4 x AGVs employed, with empty pallet in-feed and full pallet exchange, and automatic charging stations.

alluff sales manager Jim Wallace told Food and Beverage Industry News that Industry 4.0 concepts were critical when it came to making informed decisions about the production process.

“From information generated either by the process itself or externally,” he said.

“For instance, Balluff will include their condition monitoring sensor which is a small self-contained sensor which can provide information including vibration/acceleration in three axes, contact temperature ambient pressure and humidity.

“This pre-processed data is fantastic to use in a preventative maintenance setting or to alter production based on variable conditional information.”

A spokesperson from Open IIoT told the publication Industry 4.0 was all about harvesting data.

To show off the capabilities of the software Open IIoT, with member companies Balluff, Beckhoff

Industry 4.0 helps make informed decisions about the production process.

Automation, KUKA Robotic Systems, NORD Drivesystems, SMC Corporation and ZI-Argus will attend foodpro together.

“It will be a collaboration of several companies all operating Industry 4.0 is critical for all companies looking to future proof operations.

within the Industry 4.0/IIoT environment, each with their own area of expertise, and with a shared vision to promote the technologies to the benefit of Australian manufacturing,” said Wallace.

The industry 4.0 implementations will also help to improve competitiveness, he said.

According to Wallace, the Open IIoT is a knowledge group who are advancing the uptake of Industry 4.0 in Australian manufacturing.

“The member companies are Balluff who are sensor, measurement, and identification specialists, while Beckhoff Automation produce automation controllers that link directly to the cloud. KUKA Robotic Automation focuses on robotic solutions and NORD Drivesystems are leaders in drive and geared motor technology,” the spokesperson said.

“SMC Corporation specialise in advanced pneumatic automation while ZI-Argus is a system integrator with speciality experience in IIoT systems.

“Open IIoT as a cohort aims to assist manufacturers in getting started with their Industry 4.0 implementation

and, more importantly to find the commercial benefit that this implementation can deliver.”

Wallace said he saw continued technological advancement, such as with Industry 4.0, creating an increase in the quality of production and efficiencies.

Meanwhile, the reduction of waste was another major factor for Open IIoT. “It is critical in many industries but very much so in the food and beverage industry. Industry 4.0 implementation can absolutely help in upping the quality of production and efficiency to reduce waste,” said Wallace.

Now is the time to get onboard with Industry 4.0, or risk falling behind the competition.

“You need to understand how to develop you processes to remain competitive,” said Wallace.

“The starting point is to establish which areas of the process lack in visibility and to generate some useful data around these areas and the process in general. This allows you as the manufacturer and the expert in this field to understand your own process at a deeper level and make the informed decisions to improve the process.

His advice is to always start small and understand just how much information can be generated from a relatively low-cost installation, and more importantly, the value that can be derived from that information.

“This will justify a larger roll out of the technology rather than having to take an expensive risk,” said Wallace.

“For some it can seem daunting but upon auditing your machinery you may find that you already have so many Industry 4.0 enabled products.

“It is now about adding the next layer of collecting the data from these products in a sensible way. Small steps towards big changes.” F

PACKAGING

Linerless technology will have a widespread and positive impact Result Group, a packaging, labelling and process automation company is helping drive the push towards linerless technology.

I

ncreasing concerns about liner waste generation, and the banning of Australian export waste, has led to linerless labels earning considerable kudos in the Australian packaging and labelling industry.

Brand owners are now reacting to growing interest from consumer’s concerns about climate change, leading them to re-evaluate their packaging and labelling choices.

Linerless offers a full spectrum of benefits associated with sustainable labelling practices. The main driver for Result is the eco-friendly element coupled with a considerable reduction in costs.

As part of its push for linerless labels Result Group joined Ravenwood’s global distributor network and started to invest in the Ravenwood linerless demo sleever.

Result Group general manager Michael Dossor spoke with Food and Beverage Industry News about the impact and importance of linerless technology and how the process has been decades in the making.

“Linerless has been the holy grail of labelling for many years. We have been looking for solutions, some have been developed and some have failed, they’ve all had their challenges, the biggest challenge is trying to turn a self-adhesive label into a roll of tape,” said Dossor.

“Our partnership with Ravenwood allows us to deliver the best linerless technology, support packaging minimisation initiatives and contribute towards delivering sustainability targets for landfill reduction.

“Linerless labels are making headway in Australia as more brands move towards sustainable packaging so they can reach the aggressive sustainability goals mandated in Australia, especially the 2025 National Packaging targets.”

Linerless labels are supplied in a range of weights and materials, including paper and polypropylene.

Ravenwood, Result Group and associated linerless printer partners, pride themselves on innovation and will work closely with a brand or manufacturer to create and apply faultless linerless labels.

Dossor said silicone had been one of the biggest issues because it meant a label was unable to be recycled, thus increasing waste and significantly lowering the sustainability value.

“Traditional self-adhesive label liner has silicone on it, so you can only use it for more industrial applications, insulations are an example. It’s not a true circular economy type product because of the silicone,” said Dossor.

“With the removal of silicones and the adaption of machinery working with the materials, you are going to see the market continue to grow and there is more innovation underway. It’s a very exciting space.”

Dossor also spoke about barcode innovations and how the emerging technology will allow consumers to play a part by supporting environmentally sustainable products.

“Given the growing need for sustainable methods and products in both retail and shipping industries, it’s no surprise that linerless technology

Result Group is also working with EVRYTHNG to address supply chains.

has seen a growth in popularity,” said Dossor.

“Result Group is committed to offering packaging and materials that are more sustainable and tackle plastic waste, so we have partnered with like-minded suppliers to address one of the biggest economic and industrial challenges.”

Already offering linerless technology for finished products, Result Group have now extended the linerless solutions to the labelling of cartons and shippers.

The company has also partnered with HERMA as part of its drive towards more linerless production with the InNo-Liner system.

The InNo-Liner system is not only a cost-cutting opportunity from the perspective of logistics and shipping, but also actively contributes to protecting the environment as it removes thousands of square meters of siliconised paper liner from the market and the waste disposal chain.

The HERMA linerless technology

complements the Result Groups’s existing Ravenwood linerless technology for finished products.

Result Group, in partnership with Ravenwood, Hally Labels, Label Force and Label Manufacturers Australia (LMA), are committed to assisting brand owners meet their sustainability goals and deliver the type of eco-friendly packaging that consumers demand.

Meanwhile, a partnership was also struck with EVRYTHNG, a Product Cloud managing digital identities for the world’s consumer product, to help brands deliver on consumer expectations for transparency, authenticity, and personalised consumer experiences.

“We are much more discerning about what we actually purchase and how that product is made,” said Dossor.

“There is a lot of green washing going on but at the end of the day the consumer wants much more information on the product than they got in the past. They want to know that the product was manufactured in the right way and done so sustainably.”

The EVRYTHNG Product Cloud links every product item to its Active Digital Identity on the web, joining up item-level data at every point in a product’s journey from manufacturing to consumer interaction. Digitised products provide visibility, validation and real-time intelligence as well as connect directly with people.

“EVRYTHNG brings a whole new dynamic to the way consumer goods brands in the region do business,” said Dossor.

“Together we are helping brands connect the dots between full visibility into their supply chains and the use of real-time consumer data analytics to achieve sustainability goals.

“This technology is an extension of our team’s years of experience in identifying consumer goods for promotion; the concepts are in our company DNA.” F

FOOD SAFETY

A well baked solution for Suprima Suprima Bakeries engineering manager Steve Carr speaks with Food and Beverage Industry News about the benefits of taking part in the CRC Greenlight food safety program.

T

he CRC Greenlight program sounded like the perfect package to Steve Carr, engineering manager for Suprima Bakeries, when he first learned about it through John Perri, key account executive at BSC. Carr had only recently been appointed engineering manager for the Suprima plant in Sydney after serving as maintenance supervisor for over a year. As such, he was looking to make some changes in the workshop that would help simplify the auditing process and enhance safety levels in the area under his supervision.

As a key supplier of frozen dough to businesses across Australia, Carr said Suprima is audited several times a year by its major customers, which include some of the largest supermarket chains and fast-food franchises in Australia.

Having a designated CRC cabinet stocked with food-grade CRC lubricants, complete with the required documentation and material safety data sheets, would help the maintenance team get through the audit process more smoothly than ever.

The Suprima maintenance team was already using CRC lubricants such as the CRC Food Grade Silicone spray, the CRC Food Grade Anti-Seize and the CRC Food Grade Bio Degreaser extensively in its routine maintenance of conveyor chains.

But Carr said he wanted to be able to use CRC exclusively for all the plant’s lubricating requirements.

Interestingly, he said a key reason he likes using CRC products is their cans.

“The CRC sprays are designed such that the straws and nozzles are locked in place and retained on the can. This is very important from a safety perspective. It might not seem like a big thing to some people, but it’s actually a big thing,” said Carr.

“The way I see it, the engineering department should support the quality control department, not introduce new risks. And the CRC cans meet that requirement. The bright green cans and the yellow nozzles are clearly visible anywhere in the plant.”

Having the material safety data sheets handy for the audits was another aspect that drew Carr to the Greenlight program.

“When John told me about the Greenlight program, he said all of the material safety data sheets (MSDSs) and product catalogues would be delivered to me as part of a package,” said Carr.

“The Greenlight cabinet would make a great addition to the workshop, which we are currently re-organising. Moreover, I was made aware that the MSDSs are also displayed on each CRC can and that was an additional comfort knowing that we can easily have access to the required data during the auditing process.”

In collaboration with CRC national channel manager Iain Faber, BSC key account executive John Perri audited the Suprima plant in Sydney to help consolidate the products used on site.

The duo also briefed Carr about the complete range of food grade products available in the CRC portfolio.

He said with the information he has received; he is now looking to introduce more of CRC’s specialty products to the plant’s daily maintenance work.

“We use CRC food-grade lubricants not just on all of our food processing equipment, but also on the pallet conveyors used in the dough storage area. In addition to increasing the CRC lubrication range on site, we are also looking to switch to the CRC food-grade gearbox oils in the near future to have all of our

46 Food&Beverage Industry News | July 2021 | www.foodmag.com.au

Suprima Bakeries benefited from taking part in the CRC Greenlight program.

lubrication needs covered in one place,” said Carr.

With many years of experience in the food and beverage maintenance sector, Carr said CRC’s range of environmentally and user-friendly products are second to none.

“I have previously used CRC’s SmartWasher to replace kerosinebased cleaning of heavily greased chains in another plant where I have worked. The CRC parts cleaner is not only effective, but also completely environment and userfriendly,” he said.

“Even though we don’t have a requirement for the CRC SmartWasher at Suprima, there’s a strong focus on safety and using non-caustic products for cleaning.

This is an area where we trust CRC to provide pH-balanced and

environmentally neutral products to help us reduce our environmental footprint.”

Carr is also happy with the engineering service and next-day supply that the BSC team offers.

“Having a single supplier for all of our lubricating and bearing needs makes it easy for us to manage supply and pricing. I have known BSC for many years, even before joining Suprima, and I have always received good service from them,” said Carr.

“They provide very good afterhours service whenever we need it.

I am also aware of their extensive engineering design capabilities, particularly with regards to power transmission services and I look forward to working more closely with BSC in this area.” F

Sustainable Coffee: Inside & Out Author

Nerida Kelton MAIP, Executive Director, Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP)

Australian consumers are becoming more discerning with their coffee choices and purchasing habits, and its not just about the origin of their beans and where it’s roasted.

B

uying behaviours have changed and consumers expect more from their coffee.

It must be sustainable, starting with the way it is grown, sourced, staffed, manufactured, and more recently, how it is packaged.

Coffee packaging needs to have all the necessary functional barrier properties to maintain optimal freshness and shelf life, be airtight, protect from sunlight, be durable; all the while offering the lowest environmental impact.

Three innovative coffee packaging designs that stood out at the 2021 Australasian Packaging Innovation & Design (PIDA) awards that tick all the boxes are SIPP Instant, Melbourne Coffee and PodPress Capsule System.

SIPP Instant As a premium instant coffee company SIPP Instant want to be accountable for the future of our planet, along with producing the best functional beverages on the market.

They have created a different product to the traditional instant category which is totally organic and Fairtrade. The products contain heat resistant probiotics, complex healthy carbohydrates for slow energy release and premium freeze-dried Columbian coffee.

The new SIPP Instant packaging was designed to elevate the functionality of the brand and features an ABA certified home compostable internal film.

The principal raw material for

Consumers have become savvier when buying coffee.

their cellulose, is a renewable raw material from eucalyptus trees in South America. The cardboard exterior packaging is made of 100 per cent recycled cardboard and non-toxic inks.

The cardboard box features a window to show the product and the compostable film inside, to appeal to the customers curiosity. Each panel of the box has purpose; instructions/ process of making the product, health benefits and ingredients, and messaging around their sustainable practices.

SIPP Instant are aware that their product is a new concept, so they wanted their packaging design to be easy to understand for new customers. The new packaging colour palette is eye-catching and contrasts with the dark colour palette traditionally used for instant coffee.

The new design has not only enhanced functionality but has added value to the brand, as it remains aligned with the ethos and environmental values of the business. The new packaging is sturdier and more suitable for retail shelves and now offers SIPP Instant more opportunity to expand in the wholesale and distribution sectors.

Melbourne Coffee (Cyclpac) The Melbourne Coffee concept evolved from a desire to challenge 48 Food&Beverage Industry News | July 2021 | www.foodmag.com.au

the space of flexible packaging and create a mono structure material for coffee. The innovative solution is a recyclable, sustainable solution for coffee that also offers barrier to oxygen and vapour. Cyclpac have developed a packaging solution that could change traditional approaches in the Coffee industry for good, replacing ‘mixed’ laminate packaging materials.

The packaging is 90 per cent LDPE, has a technical barrier to gas and vapour, a Mono structure lamination, BOPE, 7 Layer high barrier coextrusion with EVOH, reverse or surface printed.

Developing the sealant layer to hold the release valve internally was essential to the development and required some variant testing.

When producing a 90 per cent PE mono structure, the resistance to heat offered by the BOPE was critical to product performance and success.

The material (Mono structure PE with barrier to Vapour and Oxygen) is recyclable and complies with the Australasian Recycling Labelling Program in ANZ and the sister-program called OPRL in the United Kingdom.

The Melbourne Coffee packaging encourages consumers to ‘Make a Difference’ and to ‘Recycle Me’. To Melbourne Coffee the packaging is as important as the coffee. F

DAIRY

Global Dairy Commodity Update June 2021 A number of positive factors are helping the dairy industry continue to remain positive according to Maxum Foods.

G

lobal market fundamentals remain mostly supportive of prices, as milk production in the northern hemisphere goes through its peak, while the improving COVID situation allows for significant re-opening of food service channels.

With the arrival of some warmer weather, EU milk output is expected to grow at little faster yet persistent demand for cheese has been limiting the availability of milk being sent to driers.

The onset of summer – expected be warmer than usual – will lift demand for cream and sustain tight supply of butter.

The excess of US milk won’t ease quickly with a continuing build in the herd and improving in farm margins, but cheese and butterfat balance sheets will continue to improve as demand from dining-out and ice-cream producers improves.

The shifting demand between consumption channels across cheese types and formats in the US will continue as a complex developing

story, given the regional milk growth patterns. This will have an important bearing on competitiveness between cheese exporters. US cheese futures point to tightening availability.

Feed prices have generally eased a little but remain elevated and will continue to limit northern hemisphere milk growth into H2-2021 with several lingering weather threats in the Americas and eastern Europe.

On the demand side, elevated commodity prices for fats and WMP will further test demand in most developing regions, where weakness is already evident, but firm protein and fat prices won’t let WMP fall too far.

Recent trade data looks flattering given weak comparatives and considering the strong gains in prices since those shipments were booked.

Chinese demand which has dominated recent trade trends continues to hold the key as its internal market reshapes, drawing more ingredients, fats and cheese. F

Warmer weather in the European Union will impact the industry positively.

WELCOME

Welcome to foodpro 2021

O

n behalf of Diversified Communications Australia, we are delighted to welcome all our visitors, exhibitors, and industry partners to foodpro 2021, Australia’s leading event dedicated to food and beverage manufacturing.

No matter what industry you are in, the last year impacted everyone to some degree, whether that was

by Australia’s bushfires or the worldwide pandemic.

The food and drink sector remains Australia’s largest manufacturing sector, accounting for around 39% of Australia’s manufacturing turnover; and despite challenges along the way, this industry remains in a strong position.

Now more than ever, foodpro is here to reunite the industry this year and provide a platform for businesses to come together and explore what is new on the market, whilst also providing an opportunity to network with peers and exchange new ideas. This is a unique opportunity in 2021 for all stakeholders within the food and beverage supply chain to come together and drive this resilient industry into the future.

We understand the importance of events like foodpro to support business and economic growth.

Face-to-face interaction is the foundation of building strong relationships, and in-person events create the necessary push for business to happen.

In the months leading up to this event, the foodpro team have worked with all stakeholders to ensure the delivery of an innovative COVIDSafe event.

This year’s foodpro may look slightly different from previous years but ensures that we can provide the safest possible environment for our exhibitors and attendees.

At foodpro this year, you can look forward to exploring the latest in global innovations and source cutting edge technology from specialist suppliers across Australia. Work your way through our show floor zones, each dedicated to the various steps in the food manufacturing process, from packing and processing, ingredients and flavours, food science, technology, and plant equipment.

FOODPRO 2021 AIFST 21 CONVENTION

Food Science – delivering in a changing world

11-12 October 2021 at The Novotel, Sydney Olympic Park

I

n 2021, the Australian Institute of Food Science & Technology is pleased to continue its long-standing partnership with foodpro, with the AIFST 21 Convention (11-12 October) sharing the stage with the foodpro’s 2021 Exhibition (11-13 October) at Sydney Showgrounds and Olympic Park.

The theme of AIFST 21 is: Food Science – delivering in a changing world. Largely through the effects of the global pandemic, the last 12 months has seen tremendous changes in our way of life, way of working and way of thinking. This year’s Convention will focus on some of the challenges and opportunities presented to food science and the food industry in a world where “change” can seem to be the only constant. The Convention will once again bring together an exciting and experienced line-up of local and international presenters to address this theme and share their knowledge and insights about what the future holds for the food industry both here and beyond our shores.

Over two days, through a combination of plenary talks and four concurrent session streams, AIFST 21 will feature more than 65 speakers, drawn from diverse backgrounds in food science, food technology and the food industry, as well as allied fields such as agriculture, human nutrition and marketing.

The JR Vickery Address by Prof Johannes le Coutre and plenary presentations by Dr Bianca Le and Prof Brajesh Singh will stimulate our thinking around the resilience and sustainability of current food production systems and our ability to meet the future food requirements of a growing population. Through a combination of historical perspectives, case studies and innovative thinking, these speakers will step us through some potential solutions and changes that may be required to renovate our food systems

to address this challenge. These may be far-reaching, impacting not only industrial processes but also the way in which we educate consumers and train the future work force. Additional plenaries will include a presentation by Shelley McMillan, on Mintel’s Global Food & Drink Trends 2021, and by Prof Michelle Colgrave, on the science of future food proteins.

Food safety features strongly in the program, including sessions on allergens, updates on global and local microbiological food safety concerns, traceability systems and new analytical technologies. Advances in nutrition will also be covered, including aspects related to food processing, nutraceuticals, and mental health.

A session on consumer and sensory science will be presented by the AIFST Special Interest group in this field.

The sustainability and resilience of food systems will be examined through contrasting lenses that represent different points along the food supply chain. These include an Agrifutures overview of new and emerging food crops, with detailed case studies on

the burgeoning sesame seed, truffle, and camel milk industries. Another session will cover advances in cellular agriculture - perhaps the ultimate in alternative food systems. This will include case studies on cultured meat and seafood, precision fermentation of food ingredients, growth medium development and a review of some safety considerations associated with this prospective new production sector.

Other sessions will include the science of future food proteins, innovative engineering approaches to grains processing and the valorisation of food waste streams, CSIRO case studies on collaborative research with industry, the role of innovation in driving economic recovery, and an update on research outcomes from the Fight Food Waste CRC. Whilst embracing change – including plans for livestreaming and recording presentations – we’re also looking forward to a return to a more traditional convention format, with the great networking opportunities offered by the Young Professionals and Fellows breakfasts, awards presentations and wine & cheese evening, as well as discussions during session breaks. The program has also been designed to maximise flexibility and opportunities for delegates to move between AIFST 21 and foodpro and take full advantage of our co-location.

Andrew Pooch Tetra Pak Oceania

Leif Lundin CSIRO Agriculture and Food

13:00 - 13:45 Where Consumer Trends are Driving F&B Companies in the Next 5 Years The pandemic has disrupted the status quo, and the environment, health and economic issues have never been more at the forefront. With the way consumers view and engage with food and beverage companies – particularly when it comes to packaging - changing, Tetra Pak Oceania’s Managing Director Andrew Pooch shares the top consumer trends and how the industry must adapt.

14:00 - 14:30 Venture Science & Company Creation CSIRO Company Creation is scaling a new model for engaging with industry, to collaboratively build new ventures with investors and entrepreneurs to develop and deliver science and technology to address big market opportunities. We have established a dedicated team to define large market opportunities and build full-stack, transdisciplinary, science-based solutions to meet them. The new ventures provide a vehicle for collaborating with industry, unconstrained by the corporate challenges of annual budget cycles, internal strategy shifts, mobility of senior management, competing internal innovation priorities and a narrow field of opportunity. For investors these ventures are de-risked by the clear path to scale and market that the industry founder brings.

If you have been excited by the growth of the v2food plant-based meat business; or inspired by the global impact potential of the FutureFeed livestock feed ingredient, then you may be the next entrepreneurial industry founder we are seeking.

Research Director for the Food Program in the Agriculture and Food Business Unit, Leif Lundin will explain why and how this model will assist in building the new, transformational industries required to feed a growing global population; and catalyse the innovation and commercialisation partnerships required between CSIRO and industry to meet that challenge. foodproexh.com

Karin Blacow Commercial Food Sanitation, an Intralox Company

12:30 - 13:15 Personalised Foods – Improved Texture Modified Foods for Aged Care: From Design to Consumer Testing It is estimated that by 2050, 25% of the Australian population will be over the age 65 and this will result in an increase in age-related issues with eating. One of those issues is dysphagia, a medical condition characterised by difficulty with chewing and swallowing food. People with dysphagia often suffer from malnutrition and dehydration, and due to impaired swallowing, choking is a risk. To minimise this risk, dysphagia sufferers are often recommended to eat texture modified foods (TMF), where the food is minced or pureed to eliminate the chewing process and assist with the ease of swallowing.

This presentation will share our fundamental research in the dysphagia space, market analysis of the aged care sector, findings from an online survey of residential aged care providers with regards to TMF and how these findings informed the development of two concept products. Sensory results from trained panels and consumer testing will also be shared.

13:30 - 14:15 Digital Acceleration for an Efficient, Sustainable and Resilient Supply Chain Food and beverage manufacturers are facing many similar challenges as other industrial companies.

Discover how Schneider Electric has transformed our own factories and supply to overcome the challenges of agility, efficiency and sustainability. Schneider believes that energy and process efficiency are impossible to decouple, we are talking about one equation for total efficiency, a sustainable future, and healthier people. This same approach has been successfully used across multiple industries. Learn how Schneider has partnered with global food and beverage manufacturers to deliver similar results and increase additional supply benefits.

14:30 - 15:15 Long-Term Benefits of Hygienic Equipment Design Increasing consumer, customer and regulatory requirements combined with a stronger focus on overall operational excellence, makes this the right time for a deep dive into the benefits of Hygienic Design for the food industry. CFS Food Safety Specialist, Karin Blacow, will guide you through how a proactive approach to Hygienic Design will positively impact production up-time, asset (preventive) maintenance, product quality, sanitation efficiency, environmental effects, etc. and how Hygienic Design ultimately affects your business’ long-term profitability. foodproexh.com

2020 was a year like no other – the impact of COVID19 on the Australian economy and the Australian food system was significant.

The adage of “never waste a crisis” is very relevant to the challenges facing Australia and the Australian food system with the pandemic providing a catalyst for change – to build the “next normal”.

The AIFST is pleased to present this session which will provide an overview of some key trends and opportunities for the food industry arising from COVID-19: • Food safety as a priority - keeping the workers healthy and safe is critical while maintaining a high level of food safety and consumer confidence.

• Increasing health and wellness awareness - the impact of COVID-19 has led consumers to focus on their immune health.

• Consumer shopping and eating habits – ready meals, meal kits, meal delivery and dark or cloud kitchens.

Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with speakers in a panel session Q & A following the presentations.

13:30 - 14:00 How to Design Save Food Packaging to Minimise Food Waste Speaker information coming soon With one third of the food produced in the world being wasted now is the time to rethink your food packaging design to ensure that it also minimises food waste from paddock to plate.
