aunched in Singapore in 1984, the very first edition of the show took place in the car park of a hotel because, as Justin Pau, GM of Bangkok Exhibition Services (BES), nonchalantly puts it, “it was the best available space.”

Looking back through the years, he believes that the most significant milestone in the history of the show was the decision to move it to Thailand in 1989.

“Thailand is the right and natural home for ProPak Asia,” he explained. “It is, in the region, the gateway to many other Asian and ASEAN countries.” For him, Thailand has remained a preferred business venue of companies around the region because it is still a relatively easy country to do business in, particularly financial-wise and is desirable as a key geographic location.

“Thailand, as an agricultural land, has got huge natural resources, and has changed its exports from raw materials to processed and value added products.”

As the overall person in-charge of the show for the past three years, Mr Pau has witnessed its growth each and every year.

“The success of the exhibition, of course, is reflective of the market, of the industries

and the growth of this region as a whole.”

“The industry in Thailand is definitely very advanced and very sophisticated,” he added. The type of machines, products and services that the Thai industry needs are world class and market leading.” For example, at the show, the machines on display are of the same standards of those that are showcased at other European and international exhibitions.

In terms of organisation, the show has been getting more and more focused with the product profiles presented. This year, the organisers have printed a special onsite guide that clearly identifies the different companies and their different target industries. As with the previous editions, the show features six distinct zones that cater to the needs of the different industries.

“As the industries develop and become more sophisticated, ProPak Asia will grow and become more focused for the different industry sectors,” he elaborated. “The industries will become more specialised as they grow, but one of the key strengths about ProPak Asia is that many of the players in these industries have multiple products, machines and services that cater

to different industries.”

Mr Pau does not see the diversity offered at the show as a diffusion of focus.

Instead, it helps group different specialised areas together under one big umbrella so that exhibitors can address customers from different sectors at the same time, while visitors are able to access a greater range of options.

“Customers are demanding greater speed and flexibility and the ability to change lines quickly,” Mr Pau reflected on the observations he has made in the past few years. “The growth of the industry demands more machines, so there are more orders being placed. There is also a demand for automation.”

With rising labour cost and shortage of manpower, there is greater increase in mechanising manual processes and using robotics in production lines.

As the organiser of ProPak Asia, he feels that the show has a vital role to play in matching the relevant parties, whether in terms of business networking or linking food sciences with commercial companies.

The show has been a regular partner of FoSTAT, the food science and technology

association of Thailand. Holding ProPak Asia and various FoSTAT programs, such as the Food Innovation Asia Conference and FoSTAT-Nestle Quiz Bowl, concurrently at the same venue, provides the opportunity for scientists and researchers to interact with representatives of local and international companies.

Another prominent feature of the show is the increasing number of conferences and seminars that take place during the four-day exhibition. “You can notice that this year we have a lot of product presentations by the different companies,” he said. “This is something that the exhibitors want.”

In addition, there are different seminars organised to encourage knowledge exchange, and present a common place for various stakeholders to discuss and share insights.

Filling all six halls of BITEC will not mark the end of the exhibition’s growth. “There is still a bit of space that we can expand into,” he remarked. In addition, another three halls with direct connection to Hall 1 will be constructed in two years’ time. “We will continue to stick and work with BITEC. We do not see any need to move. The new halls will be ready just in time for ProPak 2017.”

In the next edition of the show, Mr Pau said that visitors can expect more of the same. He hopes to add more international and domestic companies to the show. He said

that any international group that would like to join the show will be welcomed.

This year, Italy is represented for the first time by two different associations, while another Taiwanese association has joined the show. In addition, Spain

Myanmar—The Land Of Gold This year, ProPak Myanmar, a sister event of ProPak Asia, will be launched for the first time from September 4-6, 2014, at the Myanmar Convention Centre in Yangon.

“Myanmar is a very new and young industry, which has huge potential,” Mr Pau said. “There are many developments in the country and international food and drink companies that are setting up factories there.”

Local companies in the country are looking to expand and prepare for the formation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) by 2015 in order to stay competitive. International companies are also going to Myanmar and partnering with local companies. For example, Coca-Cola, Asahi and Carlsberg have already established local partnerships.

There are vast opportunities in the country and Mr Pau said that “there are significant advantages for the ‘early birds’ and ‘first movers’.” One factor that is hindering growth is the limited number of products and solutions that are available for the manufacturers in the country.

“Most of the machinery in Myanmar are Chinese machinery. If the local manufacturers want to buy foreign machinery, they will have to go directly to Germany, France or Taiwan.”

“Of course, Myanmar has many challenges, such as the lack of infrastructures,” he added. “But the potential of the country far outweighs the challenges at the moment. They have a big population, have a rich agriculture and have direct access to many locations.”

With Change Comes Opportunities

A

sia is in a state of flux—that could be the unofficial theme of the Asia Drink Conference if the keynote speeches were anything to go by.

Back for its second edition, this year’s conference was kicked off by three different speeches on preparing for the AEC, beverage trends in Asia, as well as innovations in packaging.

One of the biggest changes that the region is preparing for is undeniably the ASEAN Economic Community, which is due to take place by 2015. While there are many benefits to having a singular and free market, companies must also brace themselves for an increasingly competitive environment.

According to Suphasan Hongladarom, purchasing manager of Sermsuk and representative of the Thai Beverage Industry Association (TBA), the Thai beverage industry can prepare itself by focusing on the five Ps and six Rs: product, price, place, promotion and people, as well as the right time, right source, right quantity, right quality, right place and right price.

With greater access to a variety of markets upon the

inception of the AEC, it is beneficial for firms to build trust for their products by adopting quality markers such as the NSF mark, halal certification, ISO 9001 and ISO 22000, as well as to protect the integrity of their product by exercising a trademark or copyright where applicable.

At the same time, they have to ensure that the price of the product is appropriate for the market it is intended for, and that the right distribution channels and point-of-sales locations are chosen. It is also vital for companies to adopt newer ways of marketing, such as SMS and social media channels like Facebook and Twitter. As people are often the first point of contact, it is important for employees to better their communication skills, especially in English, Chinese, and language for the digital sphere.

The six Rs, on the other hand, advocate for a just-intime inventory system, getting local supplies if possible to reduce cost, having buffer stock, delivering the promised quality of goods, choosing the best way to transport a product, and keeping sight of the total cost of ownership (TCO). With these measures in place, the chances of succeeding in the market are far greater.

Philippe Chan, Asia account director at Canadean, who has returned to speak at the conference for the second time, also agrees that companies have to rethink their strategies in the beverage market. “A lot has changed since I last spoke,” he said.

The changes includes evolving retail formats within the region, which are moving from large retail formats to neighbourhood and convenience stores. The landscape is

hasreturned for the second consecutive year after a period of absence.

“ProPak Asia is very consistent in terms of its quality, standard and delivery,” said Mr Pau, as he looks to maintain that and continue to improve and grow the exhibition.

also being largely transformed by a continuous migration from rural to urban areas, greater consumer travel and the development of a higher acceptance of others tastes and cultures, as well as a growing demand for functional, lifestyle, localised or heritage-heavy beverages. These are all commonly seen with a growing middle class.

Nonetheless, change is not without its opportunities.

According to Mr Chan, middle class consumer spending in Asia Pacific is expected to outgrow all other regions significantly at a rate of 571 percent from 2009 to 2030, and is expected to be worth US$32.9 trillion.

Some players in the beverage industry have already prepared for this change by introducing new innovations to the market. For instance, convenience stores are following take-away drinks outlets (eg: bubble tea kiosks) by introducing their own products. Meanwhile, others are using packaging as a major promotion tool and channel strategy. This includes Vitasoy, which launched 70 different packages to celebrate its 70th anniversary.

Jane Barnett, insights manager of SE Asia, ANZ and India at Mintel, has a different take on packaging.

She believes that it is a powerful tool that can engage consumers by building trust and facilitating interaction.

Global consumers are increasingly worried about the safety of everyday products after a few contamination scares. In such cases, packaging can be leveraged on to share information (eg: sharing the provenance of the product, using clear bottles to showcase purity, and explaining ingredients in the way consumers understand it).

In addition to trust building, packaging also allows brands to interact and stay connected with consumers (eg: rerouting through QR codes to social media and delivering access to an augmented product), and offers consumers a way to personalise a product or pack, which ultimately enhances the relationship.

Safe For Consumption

F

ood grade lubricant is an important component in food processing and manufacturing. Accidental or incidental contact between non-food grade lubricant and products during production may cause adverse effects on consumers, especially if the lubricant contains ingredients that make people become ill.

While manufacturers in Southeast Asia may not be well versed in the benefits of using food grade lubricants, Sean O’Malley, director of sales and marketing at Xaerus, believes that people are becoming more aware over time.

“They are starting to look for food grade products for their applications.”

“Most of the food industry have large cold store and they use ammonia systems to cool them. We make lubricants for their ammonia systems,” he said. At the

show, his company is primarily presenting lubricants that go into ammonia refrigeration system.

According to him, the main difference between food grade lubricants and non-food grade ones is that food grade lubricants have gone through testing to make sure they do not contain toxins. Otherwise, there is no other major difference, even in terms of performance.

“Food grade lubricants may be a little bit more limited.

Typically, what it means is that the lubricants have to be changed more often,” he explained. “They lubricate the equipment just as well, but the life time may shorter.

Recently, there have been more ingredients that have been approved for food grade use, so that has helped extend the lubricant life to close to non-good grade products.”

“In Southeast Asia, because the temperature and humidity are so high, things like stability of the oil at high temperature, resistance to moisture and protection of equipment from corrosion are more critical here than a lot of other markets.”

Mr O’Malley added that his company has products that are designed for applications in such conditions. He advised customers to look for lubricants that have the relevant approvals, such as the NSP seal, when choosing a food grade product as “it is a good sign that the product has been reviewed and has the right ingredients for food production applications.”

Southeast Asia is an important market for the company. “For us, it makes up about a quarter of our business and it is a growing market, so it is one that we definitely value and look to for future growth.”

In order to assert itself in the region, the company has partnered with strong technical distributors in the region that are able to sell the strengths of the products at strategic locations, like Singapore and Malaysia, and provide coverage across Southeast Asia.

As the markets in the region develop quickly, competition is intensifying rapidly as well. Mr O’Malley said that the key factor lies in the ability to differentiate products from competitors.

“Most big companies have presence here, so you got to make your product different and better in some way and be able to sell that advantage,” he said. “I think in the products that we are promoting, there will be pushing for longer life and performance at extreme conditions, both in high and low temperatures.”

Shining With Quality

Operating At The Right Frequency

anufacturers in developing markets are known to place their priority heavy on cost, but according to Mark Huang, director of the Taichung Office of the Taiwan Plastics Industry Association, customers in the Southeast Asia have already moved on from that stage.

“We are seeing more customers who do not put price as their utmost concern, but are looking for products of better quality,” he said.

One hot topic that he has observed from conversations with visitors to the show is that of ‘green’ technology. “There are more people asking us about how ‘green’ the products are and how much materials are used.”

The association plays an active role in linking its members to customers in the Southeast Asia region. Other than bringing them to exhibitions such as ProPak Asia, the association also helps members who are unable to attend the show by distributing product materials and information.

This year, most of the association members exhibiting at the show are processing machine makers. Naturally, the geographic distance between Taiwan and Southeast Asia leads to concern over service support, another key topic Mr Huang has recognised from his interaction with visitors.

“One big focus for customers in Southeast Asia is aftersales support,” he explains.

“Manufacturers from Taiwan will send their service crew to customers’ location immediately whenever they encounter any problem.”

As the markets in the region mature, the quality of products are under increasing scrutiny. In order to stay competitive, especially considering the higher cost of products due to shipping charges and taxes, Taiwanese companies are focusing their efforts on creating greater value for their products and delivering the extra quality that customers demand.

ome metals respond differently to different magnetic-field frequencies, making it difficult for conventional single-frequency systems to detect both ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Anritsu has patented a dual-frequency inspection system, which automatically determines the best frequencies to maximise sensitivity for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals simultaneously.

With detection software tuned for the improved head, the duw-h series supports three times better signal to noise ratio and an increase in contaminant detection by two ranks during inhouse comparison.

The metal detectors create and look for fluctuations within magnetic fields. As products passes through the detector head, normal products and those containing metal contaminants will affect the magnetic field differently, which allows the system to detect the contaminated products.

Since magnetic fields are affected by both vibration and electrical noise, such as inverters within nearby packaging machines, a metal detector must be designed to handle these changes. The machine series uses heads that were designed to provide high sensitivity without compromising repeatability and reliability.

The onscreen instructions provided by the user interface eliminate confusion and simplify product setup. The system will automatically select the best setting based on speed and other product parameters. The system will also choose the best detection mode from over 20 different modes based on product properties. Estimated sensitivities are provided to help select suitable test pieces.

Dust Free High Speed Packing

T

he construction of the A M O S c r e w -Ty p e Packer from Amo-Pack is such that the powder has no direct contact with outside air. It is effectively semi-closed. Moreover, the use of an expansion nozzle at the end of the nozzle section seals the connection between nozzle and bag while filling.

As a result, the packer raises almost no dust. The semi-closed structure of the packer prevents unexpected accidents such as foreign bodies entering the powder from outside. Furthermore, components coming into contact with powder are designed to safety specifications to eliminate the possibility of machine elements dropping into the powder.

The machine is compact at about 1.2 m wide, 1.8 m deep and 1.9 m high, and only needs an AC power source

Supporting Asia’s Growth

T

he world has been setting its sights on Asia for a considerable time now as the region evolves from a secondary market to one of primary importance.

This is no different for OCME, a solutions provider of filling, packaging and palletising technology.

“Our company believes that Asia will grow for many years, so we decide to open the branch office dedicated to Asia, to be closer to Asian customers,” said Corrado Aureli, service manager of OCME Pacific.

The company is seeing a boom in the region. From 2009 to 2012, only nine percent of the company’s customers were from Asia, but this jumped to 28 percent in 2013, which made the Asia Pacific region one of the stronger markets.

As a result, the company is looking to provide better support to the region, especially in the area of aftersales service, which it does through the introduction of a new remote assistance support system.

It comprises a software incorporated into the company’s machines that automatically generates a QR code whenever a problem occurs. The code will routed to an available office among the company’s entire network, where an engineer will then intervene and return with instructions on how to solve the problem.

Paola Caprari, service coordinator at the company, adds that the ability to provide assistance in real time, regardless of distance, also leads to cost savings. Not only does this eliminate the large costs that come with hiring highly skilled maintenance engineers, it also ensures that manufacturers do not lose much downtime on the production line.

Looking Through The Bottle

Dry Sterilisation Of Aseptic Products

oreign objects in newly filled bottles endanger product safety. Therefore, it is essential that the drinks packaging in question is detected while it is still on the filling line and rejected.

This is possible with the compact Heuft spotter SF full container inspection. The system, which is specially developed for glass and PET containers filled with transparent liquids such as beer and mineral water, identifies foreign objects floating in the product, as well as foreign objects which have sunk to the bottom of the bottle, such as foil remnants and bits of paper, insects and mould.

Scratches, cracks, inclusions, chips and breaks are also detected.

The optical examination covers the complete container volume and even includes areas which are difficult to inspect. The system can track down contamination and material defects hidden behind the dome or covered by the base edge and other structures. In addition, an optional module checks the presence of the closures.

The full container inspection system includes a rejection system that checks up to 72,000 bottles per hour directly after the closer, as well as two modules with LED strobes, specially arranged mirror cabinets and CCD cameras that track down floating and sunken foreign objects as well as damage.

Several views of the complete neck, body and base area are produced in the infeed in this way. The mirror cabinets ensure illumination without shadows and reflections while images are captured. The conveyor chain has a narrow design that ensures the bottom of the bottle will jut out to provide a clear view.

HEUFT Stand 1C11

HS’ Innosept Asbofill ABF technolog y manages the aseptic cold filling of noncarbonated non-alcoholic beverages using the dry sterilisation method.

The focus here is on milk and yoghurt beverages, as well as fruit juices, fruit juice beverages, sports drinks, near water beverages, tea and coffee, as products to be filled.

A factor which is of decisive importance for maximum aseptic safety is that bottles are conveyed through the machine in just one holder. Aseptic risks, which can occur with conventional switching from one carousel to another, as is the case in the rotary system, are no cause for concern here.

The option available for the machines of ‘placing a drop of liquid nitrogen in the head space of filled plastic bottles’ ensures the stability of the bottle. Examples of other options which are available and which can be fitted retrospectively if required include the integration of pulp nozzles into the filling valves, nitrogen flushing before the filling process, double filter instead of single filter units in the valve manifolds, and coding within the production process.

With the machines, sterilisation of the bottles with hydrogen peroxide is generally followed by transferring them to the filling station, which is separated from the sterilisation process by an intermediate wall.

The filling process, which is based on the volumetric filling principle, is carried out without contact by two-stage free-flow filling valves. For sealing the bottles, a choice can be made between screw caps and seals. Like the sterilisation of the bottles, the sterilisation of the caps is also carried out with hydrogen peroxide.

Making Packing Simple

T

he ER50 robotic product collating and packing solution by Gebo Cermex offers a good profit/ cost ratio for lines handling products that cannot be accumulated. The system features technologies that enhance simplicity, including a robotic flow management software, production of lighter tools using 3D printing, conveyor infeed and the option to equip the machine with a vision system adapted to products arriving in a random manner.

The solution is based on the combination of a standard module (comprising a frame and robot gripping arm) and flow distribution software. The software

manages a series of algorithms to permanently optimise flow management.

The solution is able to cater to all speeds between 50 and 300 products per minute. Depending on the speed to be attained, identical plug and play modules are added to the basic gripping arm module. The master module pilots the machine by routing pick and place data to all the slave modules.

In order to maintain performance at the level required, the system automatically switches from one algorithm to another, for example, from gripping products that are equally distributed between robots,

A Clean Delivery

T

he creation and maintenance of optimal hygiene conditions are among the greatest challenges faced by the food industry today, making hygienic design and ease of cleaning crucial for equipment and components used in hygienesensitive food processes. Conveyor belts have an important role to play as they are often in direct contact with food.

Habasit’s HyCLEAN plastic modular belt solutions ensure sanitation for the food processing industry. They were developed to improve hygiene conditions and cleaning procedures in food processing areas. The packaging includes a patented sprocket and a two-inch top module, both featuring unique hygienic design.

The two-inch flat top has a dynamic opening hinge for easy debris release. With wider but fewer links than similar products, the flat top traps less food residues. Wide open links on the reverse side allow 85 percent rod surface access and efficient cleaning.

The polished reverse minimises soiling and food residue adherence, while smart-fit rod retention gives quick and easy installation and maintenance.

The solutions also include a patented modular clean-in-place (CIP) system for plastic modular and other synthetic belts. The system enables faster and more reliable cleaning cycles, and is adjustable to specific application dimensions and process set-ups.

The system works even with low water pressure, allows for precise positioning of water jets, and delivers substantial reductions in water use compared with other CIP systems.

In addition, it ensures less risk, as well as cost and time savings, compared with manual cleaning.

to a compensation mode such as ‘Take What You Can’ (TWYC).

In particular, flow distribution intelligence pilots product overload (overspeed) during start-up and runout and manages several degraded modes. For example, if the operator decides not to use a robot for a given period (eg: for maintenance operations), the load is distributed between the other robots.

Depending on the target speed, the appropriate number of slave robots can be added to the master robot gripping arm module. In the pre-contract phase, 2D visual simulations of the different hypotheses can be used to validate the number of robots required.

The PC-based advanced human/machine interface enables the operator to naturally interact with the robots and/or other peripherals. A laser beam (selective laser sintering) applies polymer powder layer-by-layer to create a part designed on the screen using computerassisted design software.

This allows tooling to be created in a single block, which is particularly suitable to address ‘flexible products’ and economic optimisation.

According to Alexis Schnürer, office manager at Cermex Robotics Design, the robotic packing solution can be used to handle flexible products in the food industry. “However, it is quite possible to imagine using it to collate and pack glass bottles for the home and personal care markets as well as the beverage market, where accumulation is less and less compatible with the need to protect products and labelling,” he adds.

Star Of Stability

S

idel StarLite is a uniquely shaped base that increases the overall resistance and stability of PET bottles. It can also reduce the amount of PET material needed to produce the finished bottle, allowing for reduced wall thickness for an optimum strength-to-weight ratio.

The result is a bottle that uses less raw materials and therefore, weighs less, requiring less energy to produce, yet delivering better pallet stability and improved bottle integrity throughout the entire supply chain. These are done without compromising on the safety, hygiene or the integrity of the beverage contained within the bottle.

Under the rigorous test protocol of the International Society of Beverage Technologists (ISBT), the new base lasted 30 percent longer for 0.5 litre bottles, 50 percent longer for 1.5 litre bottles and 60 percent longer for two litre bottles.

Base weights can be reduced by up to 20 percent for 0.5 litre bottles (from 5 g average to 4 g), 19 percent for 1.5 litre (from 9 g to 7.3 g) and 17 percent for two litres (from 12 g to 10 g).

Under controlled conditions, the new carbonated soft drink base can be blown using as little as only 16 bars of air pressure compared to the 25 bars average for 0.5 litre bottles, saving on energy use as well. The 1.5 litre bottles can be blown with as little as 18 bars compared to the 26 bars average, and the two litre bottles with only 20 bars compared to the previous 28-30 bars average.
