nder the banner ‘Go Clean Go Green’, ProPak Asia 2010 opened at Thailand’s trade exhibition centre BITEC with strong attendance for one of Asia’s biggest international processing, filling and packaging technology events. The event targets food, drink, and pharmaceutical manufacturers, canners, laboratories, scientists, and key decision makers as well as related government agencies, distributors and importers. Registration for the trade show has exceeded expectations, according to the event organiser Bangkok Exhibition Services (BES), with a 14 percent increase over last year and 57 countries pre-registered. This year’s event is opened by Pradit Phataraprasit, deputy minister of finance. In his speech at the opening ceremony attended by delegates from all over the
Giving the food industry of the Kingdom a major vote of confidence, he says: “Thailand is the second largest economy in South-east Asia and the leading export of food including rice, farm products and even seafood. I believe the food export industry will continue to grow rapidly.” He added that the food processing industry of Thailand currently accounts for 15 percent of the country’s manufacturing industry. More than 9,000 companies in the country are engaged in food production and processing, in an industry worth over US$25 billion. The influence of this industry as he explains has tremendous potential. “The technologies are not only used in food production and processing, they can be extended to other industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and consumer packaged goods,” he says.
ProPAk ASiA 2010: grEEn innovATion This year's event occupies a total of
20,000 sq m in four halls, which house more than 900 exhibiting companies from 42 countries. It is expected to attract more than 30,000 visitors from 63 countries, along with official groups from China, France, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and the UK. It is estimated that the show will generate sales of an estimated US$120 million with post-event trading rounding up the sum to more than US$300 million. Riding on the event’s theme, this edition emphasises on the task of creating greater awareness of environmental issues among exhibitors and visitors, and campaigning for the use of cleaner, environmentally friendly technology, as well as the practice of material reduction and recycling. Commenting on the event, Mr Phataraprasit feels ProPak Asia 2010 offers “excellent opportunities for Thailand companies to have access to cutting edge technologies from around the world.” He is also confident that the event will meet its objectives and serve as a platform for exhibitors and visitors to reinforce their business networks and get updates on the most advanced food processing technologies. The event will continue until June 19, 2010 at Halls 101-104 of BITEC, Bangna. The show opens daily from 10am – 6pm. n

Cama:
Designed For Growth The adoption of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and lean design have far-reaching financial rewards.By Joson Ng

ith an electronic cartoning machine fronting the 50 sq m booth this year, Cama is keeping with their philosophy of bringing something new to the visitors every year. The secondary packaging solutions provider brings to the Thai visitors a model, which according to sales manager, Luca Peron, has sold very well in Asia. Featuring a side loader, this continuous motion cartoning machine is suitable for coffee packs, which is notoriously difficult to handle. Mr Peron reveals that the design and production of machines, especially those for coffee packs are a meticulous process. The company can, however, fall back on their considerable R&D budget as he explains: “One of the reasons that Cama succeeded is because of its wide range of products, and another would be our R&D. We reinvest some five percent of our annual turnover into R&D.”
ProPak Asia 2010: Thoughts & Expectations Going along with the show’s theme, ‘Go Clean Go Green’, Cama is focusing on designs and how ‘clean’ these designs make their machines. “In terms of going clean, we practise TPM and lean design. Lean design involves looking for compromise between quality and price. Through all
these details, the machine is designed in a set way. We use belts instead of chains to avoid greasing, we reduce the noise by using brushless motors, and again by using belts instead of chains. One thing I would like to underline is 80 percent of our turnover worldwide is resulted from business with multinationals. All these companies have strict guidelines. Either you produce your equipment according to their specifications, or they will never use your machines,” he says. As far as the show goes, he feels the expectation is to improve from last year as it was “a bit quiet”. For Mr Peron, he prefers to wait till at least Friday before he passes any judgment, but the turnout so far has been encouraging.
ockwell Automation stages its comeback to ProPak Asia 2010, as part of its marketing expansion plans in Asia Pacific. The company had also recently concluded its first ever Asian series of ‘Rockwell Automation On The Move (RAOTM)’, a spin-off of its successful US road show. A keen participator of processing and packaging trade events in Europe and the US, the company’s move to participate in trade shows within Asia was propelled by the high concentration of OEM customers in the region. “We have been very successful in selling to OEMs on a global basis, and we see Bangkok, Thailand, and the rest of South East Asia as an important part of our market,” says Chris Marshall, the company’s marketing director for South East Asia. The company is currently planning its expansion in the Asia Pacific region by focusing primarily on strengthening new market access strategies, by linking with distributors. Mr Marshall adds: “We have recently appointed a new sole distributor in Vietnam, with a company named Esaco, based in Ho Chi Minh City. That allows us to open up a new location in Hanoi by the end of this year. New locations in Thailand will also be completed within the next two to three months of this year.” Rockwell Automation aims to reinforce its branding, and trade shows play an important part in this, and will remain on the agenda in its marketing plans. On top of that, they will be working towards further improvements on the company’s RAOTM events. Based on feedback from customers, the roadshow will be increased to run for two days instead of one, in the majority of the locations. The series of seven events in six different countries within the region attracted over 2,000 participants. Of these, 35 percent were potential new business prospects, and 65 percent represented existing customers. n
The Big Picture & Long Term Plans The company is currently on a quest to increase their annual turnover from E40 million (US$49.1 million) to E60 million in five years, starting in 2009. The plan it seems, is well on track. “The financial crisis worldwide affected a lot of companies, but Cama managed to succeed. In 2008, our turnover was E39.8 million and in 2009, it was E40.7 million. It was the highest turnover ever,” he says. As the sales manager of the Asian region, Mr Peron is happy to tell us that Asia made up some 10 percent of that business. In terms of market trends and development, rapid game changing

ovErviEw oF BuSinESS oPErATionS DK Bakshi, executive director of the India-Thai Chambers of Commerce provided an overview for conducting business in Thailand. He emphasised on the country’s strengths, such as low barriers of entry and an open, inviting approach to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and international business.
oPPorTuniTiES in ThAiLAnD Participants were also given an in-depth analysis of Thailand’s food industry. Darunee Edwards, president of the Food Science and Technology Association of Thailand (FoSTAT), presented details on the infrastructure, regulations and current trends, offering the audience an insight to the opportunities present for both food importer and exporters, as well as R&D firms and technology developers. As the seventh largest food exporting country in the world, and the fifteenth largest importer, Mrs Edwards also shared more on the Kingdom’s R&D capabilities and the potential to further refine the country as a major scientific research and food technology hub for the region. Other than having a well-educated workplace and developed infrastructure for the region, Mrs Edwards also emphasised on the resilience of the Thai food industries, which continue to outperform world average percentage of growth even in light of global economic challenges.

industry and the opportunities for cost efficiencies presented by one of the world’s largest marketplaces. A major focus was on India’s role as a supplier of affordable drugs that meet the most stringent regulations for exporting to markets such as the US, UK and Germany. On top of being a low cost production hub, Mr Patel also highlighted the research potential of India with internationally approved facilities and trained pharmacists, available at a fraction of the price for similar facilities elsewhere.
In an exclusive interview with the show daily, Mr Patel added that the industry is seeing a number of mergers taking place, as manufacturers have now understood the need to meet global standards. “Certain companies are working together to synergise their strengths. Some multinational companies are trying to buy over Indian companies, and are gaining headway in the local market. At the same time, the products from India can be brought to the overseas market,” he says. n
a Second life for waste
Eliminating food waste could have a number of beneficial, and potentially multiplicative, effects. By Augustine Quek
T
he source of food waste can be divided into three stages from food producers to consumers: a production stage, a distribution stage, and a consumption stage.
ConvErSion To uSEFuL ProDuCTS There are two main biological processes that are commonly used to convert food waste to useful products: anaerobic digestion and composting.
• Anaerobic Digestion Anaerobic digestion involves processing the food waste in a unit that contains bacteria, and in an environment that lacks oxygen. This bacterium converts the waste into a stable organic material, similar to domestic compost.
r&D PoTEnTiAL in inDiA
• Composting
The secretary-general for the Indian Drug Manufacturers Association (IDMA), Daara B Patel, described India as the nucleus of drug manufacture for the world. He went on to provide an outline of the Indian pharmaceutical
Composting is the decomposition of food waste, and is performed by microorganisms, mostly bacteria, but also yeasts and fungi. In modern composting facilities, the process is often accelerated by adding air and heat to the process.
MAnAging wASTE Even with the best food waste prevention technologies, food waste will still be generated. A study from the University of Arizona, Tuscon estimates that forty to fifty percent of all food in the US goes to waste.
• The Japanese Solution In response to the country's waste problem, the Japanese government initiated a food-recycling program in 2001, and then introduced a revised recycling law in 2007. The country’s food industry now recycles more than 70 percent of leftovers.
• Progress For Singapore Although there are no comprehensive policies or programmes for food waste recycling in Singapore, a number of private companies have profited from food waste. According to the NEA, Singapore aims to recycle 30 percent of its food waste by 2012, from its current 12 percent. n

he Indian Business Forum, organised as a response to the increasing importance of Indian business in the international processing and packaging industries, was held for the first time during ProPak Asia 2010. Thirty-six participants engaged in the forum, which successfully provided an atmosphere to facilitate knowledge transfer between Indian companies in strengthening their position in Asia, and for Asian companies interested in the opportunities presented by India’s thriving marketplace.

Go Green! A comparison of the sustainability of ‘pad shrink’ packaging systems versus RSC cases. By Peter Fox, director of sales, Delkor Systems
F
or product packagers, sustainability means reconciling what can be conflicting goals: minimising whatever negative impacts their packaging may have on the environment,
while adequately protecting products during shipping and handling.
Control & Reduce The pad shrink packaging system
was developed primarily as a means to control packaging material costs, and secondarily as a means to reduce end-of-life disposal costs for customers. The system combines three materials to build a stable secondary package bundle that replaces the traditional corrugated container. • A flat corrugated pad forms a base for rigidity • A hot-melt adhesive (applied to the flat pad) temporarily bonds the primary containers to the pad during packing
• A low cost, recyclable polyethylene (PE) shrink-film securely encapsulates the assembled package The resulting bundle often adds to savings by allowing an additional layer of packages to be added to each pallet load.
Quantifying the Environmental Advantages While a packaging system that uses fewer raw materials, and results in less waste for landfills was presumed to be more ‘green’, US-based Allied Development Corporation recently confirmed this thesis empirically in a study. In order to help secondary packagers make informed decisions about the system that best meets their packaging and environmental goals, the company compared the total environmental impact of a pad shrink system versus a traditional corrugated RSC case. Allied used an environmental life cycle analysis tool to compare the environmental impact of various packaging scenarios. The study examined the following factors:
• Materials The total weight of the materials needed by each system was considered for the comparison, along with the amount of energy and greenhouse gasses associated with their production and disposal.
• Transportation The energy consumed for transportation was used to calculate its contribution to greenhouse gas production. While the transportation distances were the same for both packaging systems, greenhouse gas production varied with the weight and volume of materials shipped.
• Energy Electrical energy was used for manufacturing packaging materials and operating the packaging equipment. Total energy consumed was used to calculate the amount of greenhouses gasses produced.
The Results When comparing the system to conventional corrugated containers, the study found that the system reduced the amount of material to be recycled or disposed of in a landfill by 82 percent. Due to less raw material input and less material handling, the pad shrink system reduced the amount of process energy consumption by 62 percent. Greenhouse gas emissions were found to be 55 percent lower with the system. This was the result of less emission during transportation, and combined with reduced process energy consumption and savings in raw materials. n

Bag It Up! Suppliers have to foresee changes and provide the most suitable weighing and packaging system for food manufacturers. By Yoko Nozaki, marketing group, Ishida
C
onsumers’ taste is diversifying, making most factories handle productions that are ‘high-mix, low-volume’. It is also required to take appropriate action for growing consciousness toward food safety from consumers and media. To solve those issues, packaging suppliers can propose some solutions.
High-Mix, Low-Volume Production As the wide array of food products appear on shelves, the preference of Japanese consumers have been increasingly varied, and to meet these needs, most food factories are subject to high-mix, low-volume production. They develop many different items from the same product by changing bag size, flavour, or by individual packaging. At the most frequent line, product changeover occurs more than 10 times a day, and about 30 minutes is taken up each time. Accordingly, in such factories, product loss and film loss are also generated due to the settings of the bag maker as well as the weighing and inspection system. The longer that it takes for adjustment, the larger the product and film loss as well as machine down time will be.
Going Automatic Under such difficult circumstances, a simple and easy-to-operate packaging system is effective to enhance productivity and guarantee sufficient profit. In particular, the settings of bagmaker in product changing should be more simplified. In fact, most manufacturing lines are subjected to making adjustments of multiple settings. With a preset interface, it can automatically do the settings and adjustments for the next production, and start the operation by just calling up an appropriate preset. This allows even an inexperienced operator to start the operation smoothly. The solution would be beneficial for the manufacturing line where daily
product changeover is frequently, in terms of reducing film loss and product loss by human errors.
Food Safety Concern Food safety and security is another issue for food manufacturers, in addition to productivity. In the process of bagmaking, there is strict control on ‘best-before’ date and food traceability. First, the ‘best-before’ date must be printed properly. If the printed date is wrong, or is unclear, a product recall is required, which causes significant damages on manufacturers. In some factories where stricter inspection is done, every printed is closely checked by a camera inside the bagmaker and visually re-inspected.
Traceability Another issue is the contamination of foreign bodies, which is one of the most serious issues that bother food makers. Point where foreign objects can be intermixed in the process are predicted; from raw materials right through to the processed and packaged end product. This is controlled throughout the process, and the method of controlling foreign objects is getting tighter. n
Market Report: US Demand For Green Packaging To Approach US$44 Billion In 2013 US demand for green packaging is projected to increase 3.4 percent annually. By The Freedonia Group
U
S demand for green packaging – comprised of recycled content, biodegradable and reusable packaging – is projected to increase 3.4 percent annually to US$43.9 billion in 2013, using 59 billion pounds of material. Growth will outpace overall packaging, but will remain modest due to the maturity of many products, and the fact that recycled content packaging has a large existing presence in paperboard and metal packaging.
Drivers Of Growth The fastest gains are anticipated for biodegradable plastic packaging and plastic recycled content packaging. Biodegradable plastic packaging is forecast to climb nearly 13 percent per year through 2013. This growth

is driven by increased price competitiveness with conventional resins, rapidly expanding capacity and lower pricing volatility than petroleum-based plastic packaging materials. Additional stimulants include enhanced performance properties

brought about by more sophisticated polymerisaton and blending techniques; efforts by brand owners to improve the environmental footprint of their packaging; and legislative bans on polystyrene foam food service disposables in some parts of the country.
While recycled content packaging demand is expected to increase in line with the overall green packaging average, robust growth for plastic recycled content packaging will be aided by more concerted efforts to boost collection volume, an increased focus on the development of food-contact approved resin grades, and further sustainability initiatives by plastic processors and brand owners.
Reusable Packaging Reusable packaging is forecast to expand more slowly, held back by marginal growth for drums, which face competition from larger formats such as intermediate bulk containers (IBCs). More favourable prospects are anticipated for reusable plastic containers, IBCs and other reusable packaging types. In general, value gains will decelerate sharply from the 2003-2008 pace due to an expected moderation in raw material prices, especially for plastic and steel. n

PET Packaging:
Turn out The lights T
he loss of quality in packaged goods is generally dependent upon both compositional factors (eg: concentration of reactive species, catalysts, inhibitors, and pH) and environmental factors.
uv BLoCkouT In the case of a UV barrier, PET does offer some inherent protection. Within the range of 100 to 400 nm, PET absorbs up to about 320 nm. In order to minimise exposure of a sensitive product, the package should filter up to 400 nm.
LighT SEnSiTiviTy Many ingredients are independently unstable in the presence of UV. Others, however, show stability to UV in isolation, but become unstable when formulated with other ingredients. Conversely, ingredients that are inherently unstable to UV may become
stabilised by the presence of other components. To carry out the studies, waterbased test solutions were prepared containing the ingredient of interest and, in some cases, acidulants and trace metals were included in the formulations to simulate the matrix effects. The solutions were placed in PET bottles of varying levels of UV coverage identified as follows: • Unexposed: PET wrapped in aluminum foil • PET Control: Standard PET • UV 370: With UV barrier providing <5 percent transmission at 370 nm • ClearShield 390: With barrier providing <5 percent transmission at 390 nm
SEnSiTiviTy oF CoLourAnTS Although many of these dyes independently exhibit favourable
stability to UV light, they have been shown to be unstable to light when formulated with certain ingredients. The various natural colourants approved for general food use vary widely in their stability to light. UV exposure testing was conducted on the FD&C colourants. Over a period of 14 hours, each of the colours showed increased stability in bottles with 390 protection, and to a lesser extent with 370 protection.
EFFECT on viTAMinS & nuTriEnTS The following vitamins are known to be specifically vulnerable to degradation by UV light: Vitamin A, B2 (riboflavin), B6, B12, and folic acid. Light also accelerates the destructive interaction between vitamins. In general, each of these vitamins showed substantial sensitivity to UV and each was significantly more

The growing beverage categories pose shelf-life challenges, in which the barrier properties of PET are most challenged. By Wim Van de Velde, global market manager, Miliken Chemical
stable in bottles enhanced with a coverage level of 390. The 370 level of coverage showed a modest degree of protection.
going ForwArD The impact of UV light on the stability of formulations can be a significant roadblock in the pursuit of this objective, particularly since the interactions between ingredients in the presence of UV light can be unpredictable. Fortunately, there are solutions available for PET that augment its natural UV protection. This results in a clear, colourless container that prevents nearly all of the UV radiation from penetrating the product. n

PRoDUCT hiGhliGhTS AUTOMATED PACKAGING SYSTEMS:
AIRPoUCh
The Airpouch system by Automated Packaging Systems is a portable solution, that weighs less than 14 kg and has a compact footprint. The system operates at 15 linear m per minute and has no need for compressed air; the operator simply loads the material and starts packing. The product is ideal for a range of void-fill applications.
SATO:
CoMPACt PRINtER
CERMEX:
PRoSELEx
Cermex has introduced ProSelex, which the company says provides a fresh solution to product selection and batch preparation. Installed as an independent module or integrated into the product collating section of the case packer, the module is composed of a servo-driven comb moving at high speed on two axes to form batches of products fed in continuously on a conveyor. It can handle a capacity of 250 products per minute. A speed of 300 products per minute can be achieved by combining the module with an electronic phaser (patented system) for precollating several products in the same bucket. For format changeovers, only two lightweight parts (less than three kg) require changing (the comb and the counter-comb) and two elements need adjusting (the spacing bands and the product transfer guide). The whole system is uncluttered and ergonomic, easy to access and dismantle, so that format changeovers can be carried out in two minutes.
HEUFT:
fLoAtER
Whether bits of paper, sweet wrappings or pieces of foil, foreign objects with a low density, which do not settle on the container base are particularly difficult to detect. The latest version of the Heuft floater identifies such contamination and rejects the containers in question. The floater finds the floating foreign objects in containers filled with transparent liquids using a combination of stroboscope lighting, a CCD camera for bright field and dark field inspection respectively and a multiprocessor control unit. Shiny, semi transparent foreign objects with a low density are detected using the bright field inspection. The system inspects up to 72,000 containers per hour. The floater can be equipped with optional modules for fill level detection and a leakage check, for a label and closure inspection.
Sato’s CG4 series is the company’s latest compact printer model. The printer is designed for installation in any limited area, and has a printing resolution of both 200 dpi and 300 dpi. The printer can be used for barcode labels, 2D code (QR) and RFID tag, as well as for the wristband. The equipment stand comes with three types of standard connections, including USB + RS232C, USB + LAN, and USB + Parallel. It also has anti-microbial substance coating on its cover.
ROCKWELL AUTOMATION:
SAfEty & MotIoN IN SINGLE CoNtRoLLER
Rockwell Automation has introduced two controllers to provide machine builders and manufacturers with integrated safety, motion, discrete and drive control capabilities in a single controller for mid range applications. The Allen-Bradley L43S and L45S Compact GuardLogix programmable automation controllers (PACs) extend capabilities previously available only in the larger ControlLogix platform. These include diagnostics and information capabilities that help reduce nuisance shutdowns and prolonged restarts, as well as a single programming environment for enhanced design and development productivity. Manufacturers in the life sciences, as well as food and beverage industries can use the RSLogix 5000 software available with the controller to manage revision control, fulfill regulatory requirements, and help protect intellectual property.
ZOATEC:
VACUUM PRoCESSING UNIt The zoatec company, a member of the AZO group, has developed a vacuum processing unit with a homogeniser for mixing, dispersing and homogenising liquid, and semi-solid products. The standardised modules are put together to make complete process systems. The modules are independent of process variables, and can be adapted to suit customers’ needs.
The honeycomb basic design means process systems can be built up on consistent geometric lines, from a 10 ltr laboratory unit through to a 12,000 ltr production one. The agitator and mixing tool, which is also modular, means mixing and agitating levels can be adapted to specific product characteristics.
