ProPak Asia 2009 goes green in line with the energy saving and environmental-friendly movement. By Joson Ng

A

iming to propel Asia’s processing and packaging industry further ahead in the technological field, ProPak Asia 2009 is taking on the theme of innovation and green technology.

The move is widely expected to be a successful one with many voicing their approval and, with numbers to back up this belief.

The show is expected to generate a trade value of more than three billion baht (US$87.8 million) in four days and an additional ten billion baht thereafter – despite the current global economic slowdown.

H E Charnchai Chairungruang, minister of industry, officiating the opening ceremony says: “Thailand’s processing and packaging industries have experienced tremendous growth over the past decade with the country being the second largest food exporter in Asia. About half of all production is being sold to overseas markets.”

With a solid foundation in place, the packaging and processing industry looks set to bring a welcoming knockon effect on other related industries.

The minister says: “The show is not only restricted to food manufacturing alone, many technology and developments in this field embrace a wide range of industries which Thailand is fast becoming the production hub of.”

The industries mentioned include the pharmaceutical, cosmetic goods and automotive industries.

Staying true to the ‘green’ theme, topics like: Environmentally Friendly Packaging; Preparing The Packaging Industry For EU Compliance and Building Sustainability For The Brewery Industry will be showcased at the event.

In addition, a design contest with its focus on Green Packaging promises to provide a much-needed thrust to the rapidly growing movement.

Taking place at BITEC from June

h e charnchai chairungruang, minister of industry, speaking at the opening ceremony of ProPak asia 2009 17 – 20, 2009, ProPak Asia 2009 is set to be the biggest international processing, filling and packaging technology in the Asia Pacific region. Occupying an area of 23,642 sq m, the four-day show boasts of some 785 exhibitors from 39 countries around the world, presenting the latest technology, products and solutions in this field.

The exhibition is expected to draw some 30,000 trade professionals to BITEC, Bangkok. n

SolD! not one, but two oystar Machines!

O

ystar IWK, specialists in process and packaging technology sold two tube filling machines on Day 1 of ProPak Asia 2009. The two orders, worth some Euro 600,000 (US$834,000) brought smiles to Apichat Lerschaianan, the area sales manager, South-east Asia, of the IWK Packaging Machinery Ltd, the manufacturing arm

of Oystar IWK Verpackungstechnik GmbH based in Stutensee, Germany.

The TFS 15 Tube Filling Machine was sold to a Swiss customer in the cosmetics business. “Our customer gave us the verbal commitment to buy the machine. He is a regular customer and trusts our machines implicitly,” says Mr Lerschaianan.

(R-l) chairman of iWk Verpackungstechnik gmbh, Jens Torkel discussing expansion plans in Thailand with Matthias Juengling, Md of iWk Packaging Machinery ltd The TFS 30 Tube Filling Machine meanwhile, went to another regular customer – this time a Japanese customer manufacturing toothpaste for the domestic market in Japan.

“Our machines are made with German technology, but at Thai manufactured price,” adds Mr Lerschaianan. “This is not the first time we have done this. We have always been successful in selling our machines at the stand in ProPak!” n

Malt Production Strategies Market trends and challenges in the malt industry. By Tjut Rostina

T

im Stonehouse, malt sales director, from UK-based, Muntons, explained the market trends and challenges in the malt industry with his presentation on ‘World Malt Supply & Demand’.

Points that need to be considered would be security on the quality of malt supply for brewers, operation of an efficient and competitive malt supply chain, and how both brewers and maltsters can cooperate to navigate a way through a buying strategy, and achieve these aims.

He highlighted positive factors that can be found in today’s supply chain, including the localisation and development of cereals locally (eg: in China, Russia and South America). Due to this development, there is also reduced reliance on malt. Climate change could also have a positive effect on increased crop production in areas that currently have small harvests or that do not grow cereals at present.

be Seen and heard on radio ProPak

Competition for land and viability of suppliers to survive the global economic crisis lists among the negative factors that will impact the brewing industry. The competition for land is becoming a major problem as the demand for crops for biofuel, lack of acceptance for GMO in the EU, and the loss of land to meet food demands of the growing population.

With regards to GMO, he said that international brewers headline their sustainability principles, and yet, these brewers do not accept malt with higher moisture or those made with re-used water, or even those that have germinated for three days. If GMO can deliver bigger yields and is more natural disease resistant, then this technology must be taken up.

Current growth forecasts are modest with China seeing the highest growth from 5.5 million tonnes in 2008 to a projected 5.94 tonnes in 2010. World beer consumption was flat due to the economic downturn, however, developing countries like China, is showing signs of coming out of the recession, and consumption in Russia and India are also on the increase.

The Brewers Conference was officially opened yesterday at BITEC’s Grand Hall 201. Themed ‘Exploring the Sustainability of the Asia Pacific Brewing Industry’, the three-day conference was organised by VLB Berlin, in co-operation with the Thailand Beer Industry Guild (TBIG).

Chaired by Prof Dr Frank Rath, head of research institute for raw materials of VLB, the conference is the first that VLB has conducted outside Europe, and has 220 participants from Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Singapore as well as India and Europe. n

“Y

ou’ll not only hear us, but you’ll see us too,” says Bill Hammerton, executive producer of Radio Bangkok.net.

This year, Radio ProPak.com (produced by Radio.Bangkok.net) promises to deliver not just the sounds, but also the hustle and bustle, and visual excitement, of the event via its web-cam live feed.

S

ticking by their customers, Bosch has taken on board the feedback they received in the past and set up a customer service unit in 2007, in Bangkok, Thailand to bring better services to their customers in the South-east Asia region. In addition, they are also reaching out from a different angle.

“We are looking to grow together with our customers. From manual to semi auto and to full automation solutions, we have packaging solutions in every step of the way,” says Christian Treitel, business development director, Packaging Technology, Bosch.

gROWing in asia

Its website, www.radiopropak.com, promises to captivate an international audience with a kaleidoscope of activities straight off the exhibition floor.

A veteran of ProPak Asia, Mr Hammerton’s aim of giving not only a voice to the exhibition, but also the sights of the event to a worldwide audience is proving a big draw with the exhibitors.

“This is the chance for the exhibitors to promote your products to a truly worldwide audience,” he adds.

Last year, Radio ProPak recorded 1.3 million hits for the show month with its over-12 hours of live broadcast. This year, he is confident of increasing the web hits and number of broadcast hours by “at least 50 percent.” He adds: “We do podcast, audio-on-demand, even RSS feeds for iphone straight from our booth at Hall 101 Booth D1.” n

The packaging branch has its sights on Asia since the early 90s as the company recognised the importance of the region. To add to that, Mr Treitel feels that the end user markets, particularly in Asia are growing.

“We see our customers growing. While doing so the need for higher efficiency and sophisticated machines has increased as well,” says Mr Treitel.

Bosch has brought a comprehensive range of machine to this year’s (l-R) christian Treitel and event. “The most exciting machine we have on show this year is the Pack Matthias stamm set their 401. This is a horizontal flow wrap machine which we are launching in sights on providing better this region. We are excited as this machine complements the existing service. flow wrapping portfolio,” says Mr Treitel.

Apart from that, they are featuring a chocolate belt coater machine for confectionary products. In addition, they are also showcasing the GKF 701, a capsule filling machine and the FXS 2020, a syringe filling machine, as the company signals their commitment to the pharmaceutical industry.

sTaying ahead In a competitive world, it is difficult to be one of the leaders. It is however even harder to stay as one. Bosch understands this completely as Matthias Stamm, GM, Packaging Technology, explains: “As one of the industry leader, you have to innovate and come up with new, market oriented machines and reduce cost of existing portfolio. This is our way to stay ahead.”

Looking forward, Mr Stamm is optimistic. “Our customers in the food industry are still growing and those in the pharmaceutical industry are looking to invest,” he concludes. n

he success of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) in recent years can be explained by its side transparency, and lucidity that is comparable with that of glass. PET technology allows a multitude of varied and complex shaped bottles to be created. The benefits and potential of PET as an alternative packaging material include the milk industry.

consider several factors like, the surface / volume ratio, free amino acid content and unsaturated fatty acid content.

The heat treatment and exposure to the light especially in the presence of oxygen have opposite effects.

The heat treatment increases the reduction of the medium by modifying certain balances between the sulphur compounds. Slightly pasteurised milk is more sensitive than strongly heated milk, protected by its increased content of reducing compounds.

Explore the potential of PET and its benefits for the milk market. By Sylvie Ory, press relations, Sidel The exposure to light induces reactions of oxidations catalysed by Riboflavin. The starting range of the visible emission spectrum (360 Nm -520 Nm) is determinant, especially in the presence of Riboflavin.

The factors influencing degradation are: • The seasons – greater sensitivity in winter • Homogenisation of milk – the free methionine formation can transform itself into methional giving an ‘off taste’ • Temperature of storage – cold triggers a deceleration of the chemical and biochemical reactions • Exposure of milk to light – enriches milk in vitamin D. The defect of taste to the light is more important for a skimmed milk than for unskimmed milk.

After a prolonged exposure of milk to light, one notes a reduction in vitamin C and the appearance of an ‘off’ taste. The effects on vitamin A are low and zero on calcium, and even positive on vitamin D. Light does not have an effect on specific and fundamental nutritional qualities of milk (proteins, calcium, and vitamin D).

The ‘off taste’ on unflavoured milk appears only after a lifespan of two to three weeks. This problem can be solved with preform barriers to light or can be reduced with systems of labelling by placing, for example, a full sleeve on the bottle and/or using preforms with titanium dioxide making the preform white. There is no effect with flavoured milk even if the

aPPlicaTiOn OF PeT in diaRy PROducTs Blowing and filling, in particular within the dairy products, allowed the development of a technology called integrated Blowing - Filling - Capping in a monoblock.

This system makes it possible to fill products with extended shelf life without the use of chemicals, without bottle rinsing for milks with three weeks shelf life or drinking yoghurts with one-month shelf life in cold chain distribution. Moreover, the shelf life can be extended with an application of H202, allowing an extension of six weeks or two months. n

Process & Filling:

Strength In Combination Strength of mixing at beverage facilities lies in the combination of a filling technology and upstream process engineering. By Werner Glaser, head of process technology design, Krones

D

airies are producing and bottling milk-based mixed beverages, yoghurt drinks, whey-based drinks with added fruit or aromas, and café au lait or other coffeebased beverages.

But the same thing is also happening at dedicated beverage facilities that have traditionally produced fruit juices or soft drinks. The ‘mixomaniac’ trend has for some years now manifested in all product segments.

The strength lies in the combination of a filling technology and upstream process engineering. This is supplemented at need, by matching packaging machinery, order picking and material flow technology, plus higherorder automation and IT systems.

Sheer Diversity Of Milk For the milk-processing facilities, the principal focus is, of course, on milk and milk-based beverages.

These include drinking yoghurts, milk-based mixed beverages as well as coffee-based beverages. Of course white milk in all the usual variants is also included.

The product’s journey in the milkprocessing industry always begins with the milk acceptance station. This is where the milk is simultaneously cooled and stored in raw-milk tanks.

In parallel to pasteurisation, the milk is skimmed in a separator, and its fat content standardised to a predefined level, with homogenisation provided where appropriate. This

Coca-Cola Introduces ‘PlantBased’ Plastic Bottles

‘normally’ pasteurised fresh milk continues to enjoy popularity on the market, and is usually packaged in glass bottles or milk cartons. The product enjoys a shelf life of ten days.

No less important on this market sector is ESL-30 (extended shelf life) milk, which has to be transported inside the cold chain. However, it can be guaranteed for a longer shelf-life of 22 to 30 days.

The amount of equipment required for the process technology involved is similar. In addition to pasteurisation at 72 to 74 deg C, a second hightemperature pasteurisation function at 127 deg C is needed.

The picture is rather different for the third common variant, producing UHT milk. This is done within a few seconds in a temperature window of 138 to 142 deg C. The milk’s shelf life here is approximately six months.

tank is monitored using differentialpressure metering.

Mix It Up! Besides product treatment for white milk, milk-based beverages, whether aromatised or not, require an admixture of further components. In order to prevent the milk from being diluted with water, these admixtures have to be made not as liquids, but in solid, powdered form.

Admixture is usually performed between the first pasteurisation function and the second heat-up phase.

Sugar in crystalline form or powdered aromatics are mixed into the milk flow using appropriate means, or vacuum blending tanks in multi-tank systems.

The Right Flash Pasteuriser Flash pasteurisation is based on the field-proven principle of product heating via a heat exchanger, and a defined heat-holding section. Inside the system, the cold product is warmed up in a first compartment by the outflowing hot product.

In a second compartment, a regulated flow of hot water brings it up to the required temperature.

With this indirect heating concept, the temperatures at the exchange surfaces are only a few degrees above that of the product.

The product is then held at pasteurisation temperature for a defined period, and later cooled down by the inflowing cold product.

Visualised Operation The key feature of a fully automated flash pasteuriser installation is the control system. This is when more than one flash pasteuriser or buffer tank is needed to be coordinated under a recipe control.

For use in dairies, compliance with a predetermined pasteurisation temperature and a tight dwell time is necessary. As such, the buffer tank accepts constant quantities and passes them to the filler continuously or discontinuously. The level in the buffer

The flash pasteuriser works on the principle of product heating via a heat exchanger and a defined heat-holding section.

Admixture can be carried out manually from sacks or by a fully automated weighing function.

When powdered components are being handled, oxygen will inevitably be entrained into the product, and downstream deaeration is essential.

Otherwise, it would be more difficult to heat the milk, and deposits would form more quickly on the heating system’s surfaces. n

Atlanta, USA: The Coca-Cola Co has unveiled a plastic bottle made partially from plants. The ‘PlantBottle’ is fully recyclable, has a lower reliance on a non-renewable resource, and reduces carbon emissions (compared with traditional petroleum-based PET plastic bottles).

The bottle is made from a blend of petroleum-based materials and up to 30 percent plant-based materials.

It also reduces carbon emissions by up to 25 percent. The production process turns sugar cane and molasses, into a key component for PET plastic.

The new bottle can be processed through existing manufacturing and recycling facilities without contaminating traditional PET. This enables the material in the bottle to be used, recycled and reused again.

The new bottle will be used for Dasani and sparkling brands in selected North American markets later this year and, vitaminwater in 2010.

Earlier this year, the company opened a plastic bottle-to-bottle recycling plant in South Carolina. The plant will produce approximately 100 million pounds of recycled PET plastic for reuse each year – the equivalent of nearly two billion 20-oz coke bottles. n

Food Containers:

rigid & Flexible US demand for rigid and flexible containers set to increase by 2.5% yearly through 2013. By Freedonia

D

emand for food containers in the US is projected to increase 2.5 percent per year through 2013.

Advances will be based on an expanding population base, real growth (albeit decelerated) in disposable personal income, smaller household sizes, consumer demand for foods offering a combination of convenience and value, and trends toward value-added packaging providing enhanced freshness protection and convenience of use.

Unit expansion will be aided by the growing popularity of single-serving packaging, such as plastic cups and pouches, in a widening range of applications, with such formats increasingly chosen to meet consumer demand for food products offering convenience and portability.

Plastic containers, bags and pouches will experience the fastest growth among food container types, often supplanting paperboard, metal and glass containers.

Gains for plastic containers will be attributable to performance advantages over glass, metal and paperboard alternatives, as well as improved resin and processing technologies.

While rapid price increases in recent years have reduced plastic’s cost advantage versus paper, metal and glass, plastic containers have a well entrenched market position and their performance advantages will sustain continued opportunities. Advances for bags and pouches will be the result of cost and performance advantages that will enable continued inroads into rigid packaging applications.

Moreover, the source reduction advantages of flexible packaging such as bags and pouches will support gains as brand owners seek to enhance the environmental friendliness of their packaging.

Prospects in the more mature paperboard, metal and glass food container segments will be less favourable, though growth niches will exist.

For instance, paperboard food container demand will be aided by heightened demand for recycled content packaging and the promotion of paper as a renewable resource as part of efforts to ‘go green’ in packaging.

In addition, aseptic cartons will log robust gains in soups and canned specialties, and sauces and condiments, often at the expense of metal cans. Despite losses to alternatives, greater use of cans with differentiating features such as easy-opening and/or resealable tops and nontraditional can types, such as retortable aluminium bowls and shaped cans, is anticipated.

Moreover, cans will remain an important segment of the food container mix due to their long shelf life and lower cost. Glass will remain an important part of the container mix in certain markets – despite losing market share to plastic containers – based on the relatively stable pricing, long shelf life and a high quality image of glass. n

Consumer Packaged goods industry Shows resilience

D

espite the global economic recession, consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry is able to outperform the rest of the market in 2008.

The consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry performed significantly better than the rest of the market in 2008, as measured by the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Averages.

According to the 2009 Financial Performance Report: Focusing on Today, Envisioning Tomorrow released by the US Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), CPG manufacturer median sales grew approximately 10 percent last year, down just slightly from 2007 median sales figures.

The 2009 Financial Performance Report: Focusing on Today, Envisioning Tomorrow is compiled from research, interviews and financial data on 157

companies in the food, beverage and consumer products sector. Additional key findings include: •

The food sector experienced sales growth of 10.2 percent, evidence that consumers are increasingly cooking and eating at home. The beverage sector followed with 9.9 percent sales growth, and household products with 9.1 percent growth.

•

Overall CPG company median shareholder returns for 2008 were down slightly more than 25 percent, which actually constituted a significantly better performance than the rest of the market.

•

The food sector was the performance leader among the major CPG sectors, with 2008 median shareholder returns in down just 21 percent.

Said John Maxwell, consumer packaged goods and retail industry leader, PricewaterhouseCoopers: “Finding new and better ways to sustain cost reductions, manage IT related risks, invest strategically to capture market share, and take thoughtful approaches to tax credits and incentives are a few recommendations for CPG companies as they prepare for the recovery.” n

Beumer:

Stretch Hood

Beumer’s Stretch Hood is a packaging system for securing palletised load units. This system offers transport and presentation packaging for load securing and protecting products. The system also has a packaging capacity of up to 150 pallets per hour. As such, the company claims that products are better protected against soiling, moisture, dust and water during transportation.

The Box Teq 100ET from German company Christ Packaging is a horizontal and fully automatic cartoning machine. Its features include erecting, packaging and closing in balcony style, in order to pack single products and collations.

The company claims that the machine has a short format changeover and is compact in design. The machines can also be adapted individually and customised. Applications of the machine includes food trays and bars.

Bosch Packaging:

Horizontal pillow-pack

The horizontal pillow-pack machine Pack-401 from Bosch is for confectionary and food products. This machine is suitable for packaging products in trays, such as baked goods, stacked biscuits, crackers, confectionery items and frozen products.

Its design enables it to operate as a standalone machine or to be integrated with other packaging systems. The machine is suitable for three-shift operation.

It achieves medium to high operating speeds for output levels of 20 to 400 products per minute, or a film speed of up to 80 metres per minute. It also allows changeover to various packaging formats for product widths up to 450 mm or film widths up to 650 mm.

Ascertaining The Aseptic Method

Aseptic carton packaging is still the viable option for dairy products. By Matthias Enste, director of marketing and business development, SIG Combibloc Asia

F

ew other foodstuffs are as versatile as milk, and according to worldwide forecasts, it remains in high demand with consumers. On a global scale, annual growth according to SIG forecasts will be in excess of seven percent in the ambient liquid dairy segment until 2010.

Dairy products are in demand across Asia-Pacific – but increasing raw material prices make it harder for companies to achieve adequate returns in the marketplace.

One of the questions they are faced with is how to maintain sustainable, profitable growth and add value for their consumers. Packaging can offer a way to innovate and tends to come cheaper than additional expenditures in communication measures.

Seal It Tightly Consumers ranked in the Foodmix Survey ‘protection from spoilage’ and ‘taste’ as the first and second most important functions when choosing a packaging type. The global packaging

mix for UHT milk products, aseptic carton packs constitute the most indemand packaging form with around 80 percent of the market.

Aseptic carton is considered the most suitable type for the packaging of milk in the Asian markets because of its good protection features, which guarantee long shelf life without the need for cooling chain distribution.

Aseptic As It Is Packaging also offers the possibility to communicate with consumers. Many dairy product brand owners use ‘on-pack promotions’ as a classic below the line communication exercise.

According to Landell Mills, carton packs for UHT milk and dairy products will continue to enjoy positive growth in the future.

This popularity is due in large part to the special properties of carton packs, especially the protective function that the carton packs offer. Dairy products are protected from light, which means the natural flavour is retained. n

Eco-Friendly Green Packaging Set To Take Off

G

reen packaging has made an impact on the industry and is now considered one of the fastest growing ethical trends.

Green packaging is making the transition from niche to mainstream as manufacturers come under consumer pressure for more eco-friendly products.

Already major trade shows in Europe are setting aside entire halls dedicated to bio-based packaging. Looking towards the future, many industry experts expect sustainable packaging to take up even more floor space during such shows.

Environmentally friendly packaging is the next big area for development. According to Mintel’s Global New Products Database, over 600 beauty products have been launched with eco-friendly packaging claims since March 2006 in Europe alone. Many more are expected to follow suit as companies involved in sustainable packaging are themselves undergoing further expansion to keep up with the growing trend.

Bio-based cosmetics packager, Cereplast reported a triple-digit revenue growth of 134 percent to US$913,152 within the first three months of the year.

However, while eco-friendly packaging represents the future potential, there are still a number of challenges to be addressed. There is no one complete ‘green’ solution, instead manufacturers generally choose between recycled, recyclable and biodegradable materials or even the use of less packaging material.

Restriction imposed by costs, applications and even international regulations, are some of the challenges that have to be addressed before the industry is able to really take off in a big way. n
