isitorship to ProPak Asia 2011 skyrocketed to 26,927 in just the first three days of the event, demonstrating the show’s reputation as an important gateway to the Asian market. The response is a significant increase of 18 percent from the same period last year. Coming from 59 countries around the world, five out of the top ten countries are outside the traditional South East Asian market, like Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines and Myanmar. They include Bangladesh, Australia, Japan, India and China. David Aitken, MD of BES, the show organiser, says: “The important point to recognise is that ProPak Asia isn’t just an ASEAN show, but an Asian show, and bringing in key buyers from throughout the region. And that’s obviously why so many companies are coming in worldwide.” With an expected sales generation of US$650 million in trade value, this year’s show also saw 19 international pavilions making its presence here, another record breaking statistic for the event. “The show has obviously captured the attention of many international associations and governments, and a crucial part of the development of respective industries in machinery and manufacturing sectors to get
into ProPak Asia in order to penetrate the Asian market,” says Mr Aitken.
Bigger & Better The encouraging numbers have prompted the organiser to take on an additional 6,000 sq m of exhibition area for ProPak Asia 2012, with an expected growth of 20 percent for both exhibitors and visitors. In order to achieve the expected growth, an aggressive marketing campaign will be carried out. The organiser will also be looking at penetrating and developing new markets in order to bring in more value for the exhibitors. Having broken into the Far East markets, such as Japan and Korea, BES is setting its sights on developing its campaign in Australia, which is among the top visitor groups. Mr Aitken adds that the Russian, Chinese and Middle Eastern markets have also become crucial for the campaign. Next year’s show will also see a more prominent feature of various existing sections such as pharmaceutical, drink technology, laboratory and test, as well as industrial automation.
knoWledge shAring Organised concurrently with ProPak Asia
are conferences that aim to enhance the knowledge of industry professionals, as well as contribute to the development of tomorrow’s industry players. The conference seminar and workshop programmes cover a wide scope, from food science and materials development to production and technology trends. “We need to be able to engage not only the technical and commercial, but also the academic side of the industry,” shares Mr Aitken. “Knowledge exchange and transfer go hand in hand with the buying and selling of the technology.” n

SEAN Food Quiz Bowl 2011 is one of the initiatives of the ASEAN Food Conference to engage more young talents in the field of scientific research relating to food production and processing. The competition saw five teams, representing tertiary institutions of Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand, in a battle of wits over questions that cover a wide range of topics in the area of food science and technology. The tight contest saw a deadlock at the end of the regulatory rounds, requiring a tie-breaker to decide
the winner. In the end, the team from Indonesia took first prize, while teams from Malaysia and Singapore finished second and third respectively. Dr Kasem Nantachai, dean of the faculty of technology, Khon Kaen University, welcomes the high level of participation from the academic sector, particularly students from the South East Asian region, in this year’s conference. Besides the quiz bowl, he also highlighted the nine knowledge exchange sessions and the ASEAN Best Graduate Research Paper Competition.
Safety In Capping & Closures F&B manufacturers battle bottling, canning, capping & closures issues with a clear vision. By Didier Lacroix, senior VP, international sales & services, Cognex
P
roduct safety has many implications for F&B manufacturers and packagers, the two most important being cost and reputation. Tough competition means consumer product manufacturers and packagers cannot afford production errors, leading to a lapse in product safety.
Closure Safety To reduce manufacturing errors and costs as well as uphold reputation, companies must add inspections for missing or misapplied caps and safety devices. This is where machine vision comes in. It can help to inspect closure, by making sure that it is the right type of cap required for a bottle, proper placement and sufficiently tightened, as well as help with placement of tamper evident safety rings. Here is an example of an Asia Pacific-based F&B
firm using machine vision to minimise closure errors:
Quality Check After Fill Australian-based Original Juice Co found itself with a challenge when it came to achieving consistent results in the placement of a bottle cap onto a product bottle after the filling stage.
Quick Check In addition to performing reliable and repetitive applications, the machine vision system would need to inspect at a high-speed rate of up to 300 bottles per minute to accommodate the high production requirements of the juice company. The overall machine vision system consists of a touch-screen industrial PC incorporated into a stainless steel enclosure. The enclosure also houses the Ethernet

This year, the post titled ‘Optimization of dryingprocess efficiency and shelf-life extension by active packaging in crispy minced-fish snacks’ is chosen as the winner of the Poster Competition. The research explored improvement of process efficiency through drying time optimisation and extending shelf-life by active packaging technology. The study on the ‘effect of flour particles size on retention of vitamin A, folic acid and iron in fortified rice’ is the first runner-up, while ‘Optimization conditions for enzyme extraction of Namwa banana (Musa sapientum L) juice using response surface methodology (RSM)’ finished as second runner-up. n hub, the digital power supply of the lights, a PLC and various power distribution components. After bottles have been filled and capped, they travel down the conveyor line, where two cameras sequentially inspect the bottles. The first camera looks directly at one side of the bottle and inspects the bottle cap at this side only. When the bottle comes within the camera’s field of view, a sensor is triggered and an image is taken. Software tools would then analyse the image for defects. If a failure is detected, a signal is sent to the PLC, and the bottle is removed. The second camera focuses on the other side of the bottle cap.
Quality Aesthetic Shortlist During this inspection, a pattern of lines is projected onto the bottle cap and bottle, and the vision system is used to detect any deformity in cap height on the bottle, cap presence or absence, tamper-band presence and quality, and cap skew. To complete these tasks the vision system uses edge detection and histogram software to measure the cap, analyse the angle of the cap and determine cap presence. The vision system’s key asset is preventing defectively sealed bottles from being shipped to customers. n

No Supervision Necessary With automated detection systems that do not require manual supervision, S+S helps lower operational costs while providing solutions for stringent Asian control standards. By Wong Tsz Hin
I
n today’s competitive market, cost-saving becomes an important aspect of business operations. Every penny saved is as good as a penny earned. Food production and processing companies are therefore, constantly on the lookout for ways to reduce operational expenses, something that S+S offers with its machines. “Nobody has the time to stand in front of the machine, watch the machine and check the machine from time to time,” Franz Josef Penn explains, “all of these must be automated.” Designed with users in mind, machines by the company are easy to setup and require no supervision at all, effectively eliminating the need for operators.
Stricter Control Commenting on the requirements of Asian customers as compared to those in Europe, he has observed that the control standards are more stringent in this region. In terms of impurity inspection, there is a
T
he Indian packaging industry will soon have easy access to customised packaging machines by Cermex, when the company opens its dedicated Indian office in Pune, India, this July. Prior to the set-up of the Indian office, sales and services in India came under the company’s Thai office which oversees all activities in South East Asia. The implementation of the dedicated Indian office is in line with the growth of the market. Cermex India will initially be a sales and service base for the country, and will rapidly grow its team to include a design and manufacturing division within the year. “Just as we believed in China five years ago, we believe that we will be able to capture the market growth in India,” says Michel Nigrowsky, the company’s sales manager for the South Asia Pacific region. One of the key factors driving the company’s commitment in setting up a dedicated outfit for the Indian market is the country’s unique packaging demands. While the China market requires a large, high-speed machine within the plant, the Indian market is focused on machines catering to a significant number of small and medium enterprises. To meet the needs of the market, the company has set forth to develop machines that are not currently in their portfolio, and is estimated for completion in December 2011. Referred to as an ‘indigenous machine’, details of the project are still under wraps. Other products that will be customised for the market includes shrink-wrapping machines. “The reality of the Indian market is that machines designed in France are over designed for the market, and make it difficult to justify the investment there. So looking at the needs of the production lines in India, adjustments to the machine’s footprint and technology have to be made,” adds Mr Nigrowsky.
demand for machines that can detect fine particles that may be present in food products. For example, it is unacceptable to have a tiny stone, two mm in diameter, inside a box of cereal. Detection system must be vigilant enough to identify small quantity of foreign bodies concealed amidst food ingredients. Mr Penn is confident that his company can provide solutions that will satisfy this challenging demand.
Asian Reach Asia continues to be a lucrative market with huge potential for growth. With its eyes on expansion in this region, the company has established a manufacturing plant in China, and regional offices in locations such as Singapore, Thailand and Shanghai. While the machines offered can operate without manual intervention, the company recognise the need for technical support, especially in setting up the equipment at production facilities.
To ensure quality service support, technical personnel are trained at the headquarters in Germany before they are despatched to regional centres. Although the company has set eyes on extending its representation in Asia, the company intends to adopt a subtle approach that focuses on gradual expansion. “We are not a big company which can do everything at one stage,” Mr Penn comments, “but we have been growing slowly over the last ten years.” n

Spread In Asia The company has also enhanced their service level in the Asia Pacific region with about 20 field service engineers spread across the region. The engineers who are locally based in countries like Indonesia, China, India and Thailand, are on hand to deliver quicker and
pro-active services. "Trained in the company’s factories in both Europe and China, they are one good example of the company investment in its people via cross site training and multicultural exchanges. Another concrete action to make sure that your products are in good hands!" says Mr Nigrowsky. n

Food Safety:
Science-based Risk Analysis Nanette Nicholson, Massachusetts, US

The emergence of a globalised food system raises challenges for food authorities and manufacturers alike in ensuring a safe food supply. By Keng Ngee Teoh, scientific program manager, ILSI Southeast Asia region
T
he emergence of this globalised food system presents a more cost-effective model for food production. It can also potentially help to improve global food security by increasing the overall availability and access to food. However, one of the resulting consequences of this system is that it also raises challenges for food authorities and manufacturers alike in ensuring a safe food supply.
Food Safety By Industry It has become increasingly necessary for stakeholders to consider more consistent, transparent and effective approaches in controlling potential food safety risks, especially in the light of competing economic constraints. The approach of choice in this case is referred to as ‘risk analysis’. It is a risk-based paradigm for food safety control, as opposed to the traditional hazard-based one.

Risk Analysis Risk analysis for food safety is made up of three main components, namely risk assessment, risk management and risk communication. It is a science-based process used to evaluate particular food safety risks. This is done with the view of providing guidance to risk managers in implementing appropriate risk management actions in controlling food safety. It also includes the interaction between risk managers and stakeholders, such as industry and consumers, regarding the risk issue at hand and the possible mitigation strategies. Regulatory authorities have begun to embrace risk analysis as the international gold standard for decision making in relation to public health protection, as well as within the context of international trade. The risk analysis paradigm helps focus authorities attention and resources on issues that constitute genuine and important risks. It also helps determine the most effective intervention options in a transparent and consistent way. From an industry’s point of view, a food safety management approach based on risk analysis is extremely relevant and has many advantages. It can help guide the adoption of appropriate control measures in relation to the level of risk from possible food safety hazards.

Science-Based Analysis Data that can be used for risk assessment can include information such as the characteristics of particular microbial pathogens or chemical compounds, how such pathogens or chemicals exist or interact within certain food matrixes, as well as many other factors. The types of data relevant for conducting a risk assessment differs from case-to-case, depending on the exact nature of the food safety concern at hand. Since the quality and accuracy of the assessment is reliant on the quality of the scientific information available,
it is also important to ensure that such data is reliable, comparable and as complete as possible. Although it may not be necessary for the food industry to conduct risk assessments themselves, they can use the results of scientific risk assessments to guide the implementation of appropriate control measures and intervention strategies.
Challenges With Science Where resources are available, the required data may be generated over a period of time, and risk assessments can be conducted and progressively updated whenever new data is available. Importantly, generating useful data in countries often requires investments and maintenance of suitable infrastructures and resources. As for the food industry, a significant stakeholder in implementing riskbased decisions of authorities, it will be a challenge to build up a level of awareness and skills to be able to fulfil the stakeholder role adequately. Related organisations and academics would be required to get involved in the chain of knowledge transfer and dissemination, in order to effectively reach out to all relevant parties.
Going Forward A foreseeable way forward is to find ways for all concerned stakeholders to pool their available resources and collaborate to work towards embracing the risk-based paradigm at all levels – globally, regionally and nationally. Stakeholders can build common partnerships, and also work through joint activities to improve skills and capabilities in risk analysis, facilitate the necessary research and production of data, as well as actively participate in the sharing and exchange of existing scientific data and information. Public-private-partnerships and multi-stakeholder initiatives are required to make an impact on improving the overall adoption of the risk analysis approach. The time is right for such collaborations to kick into action now, as the challenges will only increase over time. n

With precision, robot-assisted production transforms Perryman’s bakery in Australia. By Val Pavlovic for ABB
A
nyone doubting that robotics can put the icing on the cake for a small business should see the production line at Perryman’s of North Adelaide in South Australia. The company is a family bakery that has made a name for itself on the appeal of its ‘Gingerbread Babies’. For owner and manager Neil Perryman, integrating a robot into the company’s production process was simple and sensible. “The return on investment has been immense,” he says. “We couldn’t have reached a higher level of production without a certain amount of automation, yet it hasn’t affected our recipe, which retains the handmade, homemade feel.” In the production solution put together by integration specialist SAGE, a robot dots the eyes, nose and bellybutton on each of 120 ‘Gingerbread Babies’ in less than three minutes.
the solution To start, the integration specialist reviewed the scope of what was desired and researched available options. The resulting design was a compact, flexible work cell with a robot hung from the top of the cell. The robot utilises a vision system to identify the location and position of each of the 120 cookies on a tray as they leave the oven. Using that information, the robot positions a dispensing gun over each cookie in turn, icing all 120 in three minutes. The concept became a completed solution in 12 weeks. This solution for a simple, formerly manual task demonstrates that robots are fully affordable and applicable for small and medium-sized enterprises; the most mundane, time-consuming tasks can be transformed into quantifiable profit makers. “Overall output can be as much as triple because the robot integrates with our other technologies, including packing machines and moulding machines, so our production process has been accelerated,” says Mr Perryman. The added speed and accuracy has greatly increased

Meat & Poultry:
Cut To The Chase A uniform cut will reduce waste and products can be fried, dried, chilled or frozen evenly. By Andrew Neo, regional sales manager, Urschel Asia Pacific
siZe mAtters The product size of meat and poultry affects the process significantly. The reason for this is that bigger sizes take longer to process, mainly because the temperature difference between the core and surface could be more and heat transfer between them is slow. Many processors have difficulty in producing good product quality due to inconsistency in the frying, drying, chilling or freezing time for each individual product. As an illustration, dehydrated meat slice, frozen meat/ poultry dice and cooked chicken strip cut will be used as examples. • Drying In drying a product, inconsistent sizes or thickness of the meat will affect the drying process, making quality control a difficult task. Unnecessary amount of energy may be used to process the oversized product or processors will face the issue of product deterioration due to incomplete drying. A poor cut slice surface will create a tearing effect. This will produce more fines/wastage
after the drying process, resulting in loss in yield. • Frozen Meat/Poultry Next, frozen meat/poultry dice pack; if the meat dices are produced with irregular shape, by crushing instead of cutting, it creates more wastage. The freezing process will be greatly affected and the shelf life will be shortened. Irregular cut leads to packaging problems as getting the correct weight per pack will be a challenge. • Cooked Poultry For cooked poultry applications, the cutting process is important because poultry meat fibre is delicate after cooking. The meat can break up if the cutting action is not swift and sharp. This creates more fines and breakage in the final product.
either strip cut or dices, as such, minimising the undesired cut and fines. If the cut product needs to be cooked, a consistent cut size will ensure all products are well cooked without being burnt or leaving an uncooked centre. • Consistency High quality machines supplied with cutting parts are assembled and predetermined within tolerances of +/- 0.0001 inches to ensure proper fit and interchange ability. Human adjustment and potential human error are minimised, and inconsistency in cut setting is diminished.
fresh looks The cut produced is clean and neat, without crushing the product cells. This gives the product a better appearance and it can stay fresh longer. The various knife options should also be designed to meet different product textures and processing conditions. As mentioned earlier, washing and cutting is the first stage in most of the food processing line. If control is not carried out on a good quality cut at this initial stage, more will be spent at the rest of the process line in terms of product yield, energy efficiency, packing problems and poor product appearance and shelf life. n
• Cost Of Quality A low quality slicer or dicer may come cheap. However, it will add more to operating costs. Here are the reasons: • Poor cutting quality creates more fines and wastage. More raw materials will be needed. • Poor cutting quality crushes products and damages the products’ cell structure. Part of the product turns into juices, where it is a wastage and shelf life of the dices is greatly reduced. • It creates an irregular cut product shape and there would be difficulty in uniform packaging or chill/freeze. Like frying, uneven sizes or thickness will cause some portions of the product to be over-frozen, while certain parts would be insufficiently chilled.
Precision QuAlity Getting a high quality precision cutting machine gives the following advantages: • Uniform Cut Size It produces uniform cut size for

O
ne of the ways that some food processors think of is in acquiring cheaper equipment to minimise cost. This is a tangible cost, but what about intangible losses like less yield in production, poor product cut quality, shorter shelf life, higher energy consumption due to older technology, and losing customers who are unsatisfied? Regardless of whether food products have been fried, dried, chilled or frozen before cooking or eating, they would have been washed and cut prior to these processes. Many food processors know that a uniform cut will reduce their waste, and products can also be fried, dried, chilled or frozen evenly. As such, this gives better control of quality as well as energy savings. Some of the parameters affecting these processes are product size, heating or cooling rate, and moisture content; just to name a few.

PRODUCT hIGhLIGhTS CAMA:
pAcKAging Line for coffee Cama’s packaging line for coffee stick-packs is composed of two hopper loaders that automatically load the stick-packs from the processing machines into the infeed of an electronic cartoning machine. After the automatic loading process, the products are packed in different configurations into end load cartons with a ‘stick-pack’ arrival speed of 963 packs per minute.
SYSPEX:
SHrinK fiLM tHinneSS
The main characteristic of Bolphane@BTT shrink film by Syspex lies in its thinness. The films are developed to seal and shrink quickly at low temperatures. With longer footage on each roll, less production stops occur, and less waste is generated. All films can be recycled or can be converted into energy. The material manufacturing site is certified ISO 22000 and BRC / IoP.
ISHIDA:
BottLe X-rAy inSpection SySteM Products, which contain a mixture of ingredients such as salad dressings and sauces, are susceptible to contaminants during production. As such, they are typically stored in tall and thin containers. However, it is difficult to use conventional X-ray inspection systems to inspect tall and thin containers. To meet the needs of this market segment, Ishida has developed the IX-GE-B3043, an X-ray inspection system that employs a lateral irradiation system. By irradiating targets from the side, the machine covers inspection blind spots and provides improved detection sensitivity. As such, it gives equivalent detection sensitivity to the machine series’ compact and mid-sized high-output conveyor models; making this machine ideal for production lines processing around 250 units per minute.
