he national pavillions have always been one of the main attractions at the trade show, where countries get to showcase their home grown businesses and product offerings. This year, some countries from Asia and Europe have come together in an even bolder display with an increase in attendance and showcase area.
“With the signing of China-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (FTA) at the start of the year, I feel there are opportunities in this part of Asia.” Looking to use the event as a platform for their business, Mr Zhou is glad that the turnout of the show is good so far and he hopes it will improve in the final two days of the show.
Japan Leading the Japanese pavillion this year is Japan Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Association (JPMA). With seven companies this year, the association signals its intent to enhance the country’s export in packaging machinery by participating in ProPak Asia 2010. Says Masahiro Abe, assistant manager, international division of JPMA: “The total production value of packaging machines in Japan is currently about 400 billion yen (US$4.3 billion) but our export

Hitting ProPak Asia 2010 in a big way is the China pavillion. Boasting 519 sq m in exhibition space, it is one of the largest of the international pavillions. Despite the recent political turmoil in Thailand, the Chinese contingent remains confident as Zhou Wu Yang, president of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), Shantou Sub-council explains:

and Medium Business Centre (GB). Leading 10 other companies from South Korea, the contingent took up a total of 96 sq m, a healthy increase from 90 sq m last year. When asked on his thoughts of the show, Jang-Bin Im, manager of the exhibition team, GB was pleasantly surprised. “It is good. When I was in Korea, I thought this show is very small, and is a local exhibition. However, I realised now there are many foreign buyers from countries like India and Malaysia,” he says. Luckily for Mr Im, his initial thoughts were changed thanks to recommendations by Interfairs who introduced the show to him. “When I asked more on the size of the exhibition and about the visitors who attend it, I found out it is a regional
show. I wanted to experience it for myself, and found it to be a good platform for the association,” he says.
Singapore The Singapore Pavillion has nine participating companies, showcasing a range of services including packaging, separating and bottling. Carolyn Chew, senior manager of the Singapore Manufacturers’ Federation said that the show has been relevant to the industry, and the delegation is expecting a very good response from the show. “Especially for the new comers, they find this a good show to launch their products. As for the rest, it is to meet existing customers and also to meet new business prospects,” she adds. The Singapore companies have received a number of good quality leads, and are positive that there will be sales generated from these in future.
will continue to support this show as we feel this is a show with more buyers,” she says.
France France returns bigger t h a n e v e r, w i t h a n increase in area by 2.5 times, from 24 sq m last year to occupying 60 sq m at this year’s edition. This year’s delegation is made up of seven French companies. “Bangkok is a regional platform, and due to the high quality show, where there are professional visitors, I truly trust ProPak Asia to gather qualified visitors and make business as usual,” says Arielle Gernez, UBI France’s project manager.
Taiwan Eleven companies and 174 sq m combined booth space – these are the statistics of the Taiwan pavillion this year. The reason for bringing such a strong contingent is simple according to Dionne Tsai, exhibition section, World Trade Center Taichung. “We feel that ProPak Asia is a big and good show. So we have been taking part. Though there are some political uncertainties in the Thai political arena, we

rganised by FoSTAT, UBU, AIAC, Institute of Nutrition, Mahidol University and BES, the Food Innovation Asia Conference 2010 aims to provide a forum for sharing advance knowledge in food science and technology, placing particular focus on emerging technologies and innovations to support and promote the food industry. The conference dealt with indigenous food research and development, which according to Dr Anadi Nitithamyong, VP of Food Science and Technology Association of Thailand
(FoSTAT), is appropriate. She explains: “In Thailand, as well as other countries in this region, we have a lot of local agriculture materials with potential for development. Innovation is key, as it provides a mean to develop local material into value added product, used locally and for export to the world market.”
Making Use Of Indigenous Food The keynote speakers for the day were Prof James Swi-Bea Wu and Prof Kraisid Tontisirin from National Pingtung
Dr Anadi Nitithamyong, VP of Food Science and Technology Association of Thailand (FoSTAT) University (Taiwan) and The Nutrition Association of Thailand, respectively. “Prof James is talking about developing indigenous anti-aging formulae in Taiwan. The organising committee feels that this is an appropriate topic based on the increase in the aging population.

United Kingdom Over at the UK Pavillion, Alan Mann, MD for AMP Rose said that business is difficult, as there are no foreign visitors for them. However, they have returned to the trade show to meet their many existing Thai customers. n
It is interesting to see how we can use the knowledge of indigenous food and also traditional products to develop food that is beneficial for the elderly,” she says. “The second keynote speaker today is Prof Tontisirin, the president of the Nutrition Association of Thailand, who will share with us nutrition quality and health benefit of indigenous food,” she adds. The rest of the conference highlighted the importance of value added indigenous products. The afternoon session covered indigenous food with high market potential and featured foreign speakers from countries like New Zealand, Malaysia and Indonesia. They spoke about researches in this area, and how to promote indigenous food with high market potential. Dr Nitithamyong would like to extend her invitation for interested parties to join the conference, which continues on June 18, 2010. n

Brewing Up A Storm In Asia The Ziemann Group stands strong in expanding its operations and protecting the environment. By Tjut Rostina
P
lans for Ziemann Group’s expansion in South East Asia are in place, reinforcing the company’s commitment to its business activities in the region, and also to Thailand as a base. This includes two projects that will be implemented in Chennai, India. There will also be one more regional office in Asia by October this year. Andreas Benischek, the MD for the group’s Asia Pacific arm, says: “The demand in this region is still high, and if you see the beer industry in general, the growth regions worldwide are either in Latin America or in Asia Pacific. This is in contrast to the demand in North America and Europe, where growth is flat.” The Ziemann Group had recently won a contract for the Khmer Brewery in Phnom Penh, a project for a company that is relatively new to the brewing business.
A Green Solution Leading the green revolution is serious business with Ziemann. The brewery plant experts are constantly progressing in the development for environmentally friendly processes. An example of this is the company’s low-life cycle cost product series. “This provides a solution for waste reduction, especially for water usage, which is a key area. An example is a brewery in Mexico that have utilised this. The 10 million h ltr brewery has a water consumption of only 2.5 h ltr for 1 h ltr of beer. This is an absolute record for water consumption, which is usually between 3 to 4.5 h ltr,” says Mr Benischek. The company is also focused on providing solutions for more efficient use of materials, and how losses can be reduced, one of which is by reducing the materials for the piping system. n

ublicity according to Steve Townshend, GM of SPX Flow Technology (Thailand) is the principle purpose for attending ProPak Asia 2010. The results so far have been positive as he elaborates: “The turnout has been very good yesterday and today. Though we have good enquiries, the promotion of the SPX brand is our main aim.” “Until very recently, our company was APV Thailand and we represented the APV range of hygiene products. In the beginning of 2008, APV’s business was acquired by SPX and we changed our name from APV Thailand to SPX Flow Technology Thailand. As such, our main purpose here is to introduce some of the new products and also to ensure that our customer know that we are not gone,” he says.
In Display Large scale benefits are enticing to anyone, but perhaps when it comes to small and medium scale production, the simplistic concept of ‘plug and produce’ is all the more appealing. Speaking about products on show at ProPak Asia 2010, Mr Townshend says: “There is a saying in engineering – quick, cheap, good; you can only have two out of three. That is no longer enough anymore. We are now looking for all three. We are showcasing our range of FX systems developed in Europe. Featuring a set of skidded mounted process pumps redesigned from the ground up, we plan to have fix stocks in three factories in the world.” The rationale for doing so is to be able to deliver the system to customers as and when they need it. He reveals that they are standardised packages to make them price competitive. n

ympak Asia Pacific is looking towards penetrating the convenience food market in Asia within the next few years. “We are already very strong in the dairy segment (processed cheese), enjoying a major market share of the segment. It is our strategy in the next years, also to focus on convenience foods in the Asia Pacific region,” says Kim Andersen, the company’s MD, based in Singapore. The reason behind the company’s move is the opening up of Asia’s market for convenience foods, as more countries are moving towards a busy lifestyle, preferring to buy ready-made foods from supermarkets and hypermarkets. The company is currently carrying out market research in the various countries for this, as well as obtaining information via its distribution network. With its fourth year in ProPak Asia, the company has continued its string of successful business at the event when it made a sale on the first day of the exhibition. The UMSK machine, for the manufacturing of processed cheese was sold to an Indian company. “It is always interesting to come for the event, as we have enjoyed a number of successes here and to further penetrate the Thai market,” says Mr Andersen. n

navigating The Compliance Soup An effective approach to managing standards and regulation is the ticket through the compliance soup. By Stephanie Vincent, MD, Right First Time Food Consulting
preparaTion For a lot of food manufacturers, when it comes to implementing a Food Safety Management System (FSMS), it is a case
of trying to please everyone, all of the time. The food safety management programme belongs to the company and should reflect the risks, controls, monitoring and verification activities that have been identified. How the company wishes to portray and report on this information is completely in its hands. That said, there are six common pitfalls that companies can experience when either developing, or maintaining their system.

or many food companies seeking to meet the standards and regulatory compliance requirements in markets across Asia, it can be an exercise in frustration. It can get hot in the kitchen as customers navigate their way through the soup of voluntary and mandatory food safety requirements. However, with a planned and structured approach to managing these issues, customers will not only remove duplication and reduce costs, they will also have a food safety programme they will be ready to serve up to anyone. It is important for all food companies seeking to meet the standards and regulatory compliance requirements, in multiple markets across Asia, to first stand back and analyse the various elements they need to address.
• Failing To Prepare Developing and implementing a welldocumented FSMS takes time. So, when implementing a new standard, develop a detailed project plan and allow enough time for all ingredients to be added to the mix. The preparation involves understanding the standards that are to be implemented. The majority of standards include guidance documents, and training to assist companies in this process.
• Not Learning The Standard Terminology Understanding the terminology used in the various technical documents is vitally important. Terms such as ‘shall’, ‘must’, ‘should’, ‘procedure’, ‘validation’ and ‘verification’ are key. Try to accurately determine the requirements, and then work on identifying the gaps in your system. It is also important to assess what needs to be changed or created within the existing system to comply with a new requirement.
• Forgetting It Is A Management System While there is no right or wrong way to write a FSMS, the first important aspect to remember is that it is actually a system. It is written to match the processing capabilities and procedures. To work effectively, systems need to be planned and structured.
• Not Mixing In All The Ingredients Integration of changes to the system is the part that most companies struggle with, and many create a new procedure that is tacked on to the end of the manual.
• Failing To Manage The Auditor It is vital during the audit process that someone with an in-depth knowledge for the FSMS manual is available to assist the auditor. Walk the auditor through the manual, and help them navigate to the requirement they are seeking to audit. Visit Us At

• Legacy Systems FSMS’s are often developed over many years as a business grows and
develops. Businesses that end up in the most trouble, are those that do not take the time to integrate the systems and seek to manage two food safety programmes. There is no good reason to have two separate systems.
geT cooKing Once all the common pitfalls have been avoided, it is then time to start cooking. The cooking stage is the updating or documenting, and implementation of the system. However, for many companies, the implementation can be the hard part. This is where attention to detail and that systematic approach are required. A good starting point for any change is the HACCP plan followed by the packing procedure/work instruction, records, training, corrective action procedure, verification schedule to name a few.
plaTing Up The final phase in developing and implementing a successful FSMS is its presentation. This is not referring to the way the manual looks, but the way the system is presented to the reader. Know the system inside and out, as well as the standards and regulations. The system should be reflective of the business, the risks and the controls.
roUnd-Up As a food business, navigating through the maze of voluntary and mandatory requirements is made easier when a planned and structured approach is adopted. Customers who effectively prepare and avoid the major pitfalls, while ensuring they have one manual and a fully integrated FSMS, will save time, reduce confusion, duplication and cost. n

ood inspection technology for high-volume food processing lines requires instrumentation that is specific to the processed product, robust and durable enough for processing plants. Spectral sensing and, in particular, hyperspectral imaging is quickly being deployed as a key sensor technology to inspect food products for health-related conditions. This includes disease detection or contamination and as a means to analyse product quality attributes.
3URJUHVV WKURXJK LQQRYDWLRQ
Spectral Content Hyperspectral imaging instruments evaluate a product based on the unique chemical signature or ‘fingerprint’ of the product. While the industry has implemented machine vision technology for years now, hyperspectral cameras provide critical information based on spectral content. Hyperspectral imagers are used to capture just the critical spectral and spatial attributes of the food products within the field of view of the sensor. When combined with established spectral libraries and algorithms that characterise product acceptance parameters, the sensors can make ‘accept or reject’ decisions when deployed at critical points in the processing line.
Food Inspection:
The Hyperspectral Perspective Hyperspectral imaging is quickly being deployed as a key sensor technology to inspect food products. By David Bannon, CEO, Headwall Photonics Application In Food Inspection Utilising high efficiency diffractive optics, hyperspectral sensors can be configured to offer optical efficiency in wavelengths of interest across broad spectral regions for the specific fruit, vegetable, or meat product processed. With the underlying advantage being deployment for high throughput scanning and spectral imaging over a conveyor processing line, the sensors enable a set of inspection capabilities. For example, key application areas where hyperspectral imaging holds considerable potential for producers is the inspection of fat content in pork products and for disease detection in poultry products. Through effective analysis and inspection of the product, producers are better able to control the quality of product moving along the processing line. This will bring down the costs of the packaged product. At various points in harvesting and packaging, producers and distributors capture precise spectral information from processing control points for a much larger number of product samples.
Going Forward While hyperspectral imaging has been established as a proven, hardened technology for the harsh environments of military, defense, and remote sensing deployments, the use of hyperspectral im-aging for in-line food safety and food quality inspection has demonstrated considerable value over the past few years. Understandably, critical application drivers in the adoption of in-line hyperspectral inspection in-struments are both food safety and quality, as well as tenderness. With the introduc-tion of com-mercially available hyperspectral instruments that operate to inspect high volume processing lines, these hyperspectral imaging sensors are now being deployed to increase processing yields in a cost-effective manner at points along the production process with an attractive return on invest-ment, and short payback period. n

Machine Vision:
Evaluation Points
A Bull’s Eye n Safety Whether the failure is caused by a camera jarred out of position, or a missing or damaged label, it is important to know immediately why the failure occurred so corrective action may be taken.
Virtually every product can be made better, faster, and cheaper using machine vision. By Didier Lacroix, senior VP, international sales & services, Cognex
I
n recent years, food safety, compliance, product recalls and brand reputation, has forced many organisations in the food and beverage industry to question their ability in providing enterprise-wide traceability. Taking this into account, more Asian F&B companies have been taking measures by examining various ways to improve the safety and quality of their products. One such measure that is gaining popularity is the implementation of machine vision systems.
System Suitability In an F&B packaging plant, package and container materials, labelling equipment, printing methods, and ambient lighting conditions can vary considerably over time. When evaluating a vision system, be sure to test it on a large sample of good, marginal, and poor quality labels to see how the system performs under variable real-world conditions. It is also a good idea to enlarge the region of interest around the character string. This will help you determine the reliability of the vision system’s reading and verification tools in operating within a larger search region. When reading verifying date and lot code information on medicine bottles or packages, there are several capabilities to look for when evaluating character reading and verification tools.
Statistical Font Training This capability builds a font by learning models of characters that appear in a series of images. The images should include multiple instances of each character, and span the full range of quality likely to occur in production.
Image Pre-Processing Tools These tools optimise a trained model by sharpening the edge contrast of characters and filtering out extraneous background in the image.
Instant Image Recall This capability enables line operators and technicians to quickly and easily view failed images on a display.
To evaluate industrial code reading tools, start by measuring the vision system’s reading speed. To do this, present a well-marked code to the vision system and have it read the code hundreds of times under pristine conditions to determine the number of reads per minute. Make sure that the read rate under these optimised conditions is 100 percent, or problems may be faced later when conditions might be less than ideal. Investments in greater automation and the implementation of vision systems and ID readers in processing and packaging operations would be beneficial to Asia’s F&B manufacturing sector. n

CLEARPACK:
WrAP Around cAse PAcker
METTLE TOLEDO:
Invopac by Clearpack is an intermittent running wrap around case packer, with an output of up to 30 cases per minute. It forms all common ‘end-of-line’ pack styles, and wraps a vast range of products such as glass bottles, PET cups & bottles, shaped containers, flow-packed products, and paper products. Wrap around cases with inside or outside flap can be made just as well as trapezoid shape packaging, dome or stacking edge boxes or rectangular and octagonal trays. Corrugated and solid board blanks are formed to full size wrap-around cases, trays or shelf ready packages. There are also add on modules for labeller, check weigher, metal detection, and a rejection station.
insPection for gLAss JArs
The GlassChek Quad from Mettler Toledo is a detection system for monitoring high risk products in glass jars. Foreign body detection in glass jars can be challenging due to varying thickness of the glass walls and base, which can be as much as 20 percent. Its software plots the individual dimensions of every jar that passes through, detecting contaminants in the product and possible inclusions in the glass jar itself.
HITEC:
sAusAge stuffing systeM
Hitec’s Linkwel automatic sausage stuffing, linking and hanging machine is a sausage stuffing system for natural casing. It can produce up to 800 links per minute, with constant size and weight. The machine can cater for casing types for sheep, hog, collagen and cellulose. Electrical control of drive including metering pump, twister, stuffing tube rotary head, linking chain and conveyor are driven by motor independently. The machine also features a separation of pneumatic parts and electrical parts, which allows easy and safe repair.
HEAT AND CONTROL:
horizontAL Motion conVeyor
Heat And Control’s FastBack 260E conveyor has transfer rates at over 27,215 kg per hour and features an operation that is at 70 dB. Single unit pan lengths can be up to 10.7 m long and has custom pan configurations. The equipment’s gentle handling reduces product breakage and damage. It is also said to eliminate product segregation and ‘sifting’ of product, where smaller pieces settle to the bottom of the pan and contribute to residue and build up.
WOLF: SEALED AIR:
fLAVour MArk AsePtic
Cryovac Flavour Mark Aseptic system, produced by Sealed Air, is suited for high acid applications such as tomato sauce, fruit and juices. Its FMA855 film is designed for formfill-seal aseptic packaging applications. This high barrier and fully coextruded film offers seal strength, dimensional stability, as well as resistance to abrasion. The film was specially designed to run with the FM Antares equipment, an automated vertical form-fill-seal machine. The machine produces three-sided seal pouches from two to five kg with an edge ‘fin’ seal and reaches line speeds of up to 30 packs per minute (5 kg pouch) using the multirib end seal technology. Controlled by a PLC system, it also features an automatic film-splicing unit along with a unit for equipment sterilisation and operation.
the fuLL rAnge of bAg shAPes
Wolf Verpackungsmaschinen GmbH has produced the VPD 250, manufacturing the ‘Doypack’ on a vertical form, fill and seal machine. This development allows users to produce not only pillow, gusseted or ‘Stabil-Pack’ bags, but also the ‘Doypack’ with minor modifications on their existing VPD 250 machine. The machine can produce 50 of such bags per minute. The bag shape is an alternative to the common packaging of snacks, candies and chocolates. The bag can also be equipped with a label to be reclosed
