s simple as it sounds, Processing & Packaging Asia, or more commonly known as ProPak Asia, is an extremely apt name for what is today, “the number one show in Asia” for the processing and packaging industries in food, drink and pharmaceutical, said Justin Pau, GM for Bangkok Exhibitions Services.

Following its debut in Singapore in 1984, the show moved to Thailand in 1989 and has not looked back since, he said. In fact, ProPak keeps on growing, and consistently, Mr Pau affirmed.

For this year’s edition, it was no exception. Growth was seen in all areas, in terms of exhibition size—11 percent, number of pre-registered visitors—12 percent, and number of pre-registered groups—15 percent, who came from many countries such as Australia, Cambodia, China, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, and more.

“The show was completely full at

BITEC. We were a sold-out show this year and did not have a spare booth to sell,” said Mr Pau. With regard to visitor attendance this year, he was pleased with the outcome.

“There’s always an element of waiting to see the first day, and waiting to see how strong the visitors were. On the first day of the show, our visitors increased 19 percent from the previous year. And the international breakdown for our visitors was 18 percent on the first day, which was very strong.”

The visitors and exhibitors alike were fully satisfied with the show as well.

“I have heard exhibitors say that this is the best ProPak that they have ever been to because they have seen more visitors than before. I know visitors are buying machines too, they’ve told me.

I’m getting lots of very, very strong, very positive comments,” he said.

Given his expectations for growth in the following editions, Mr Pau shared

his plans for 2016 and 2017. Already this year, the show expanded its exhibition size to include the entire of hall six, compared to only a portion that was used in 2014.

Next year’s edition he says, will expand into hall seven which has not been used for the show before. “We will open the entire hall for sales, and open it to exhibitors.”

T he rea son b eh i nd cont i nu a l expansion for the exhibition area, he explained, was because of the demand in space by exhibitors. “Already onsite, we have got many companies that have re-booked for the show next year. We have many companies that requested to expand their space, and we’ve got new companies that want to come into the show.”

For 2017, the BITEC expansion will be complete for ProPak Asia, and the show will use the new halls.

“Exhibitors will have more flexibility, more availability of space,” he assured.

With the additional space, the group would also aim to focus more tightly on the six zones—DrinkTech, FoodTech, L ab & Te st , Pac k a g i ng M ater ia l s , PharmaTech and PrintTech—s o as to make it even easier for buyers to find the right suppliers for their industry.

“Everything that you see here can benef it the manufacturer… That is why this show is Asia’s number one, and it has grown to be Asia’s number one because it really does deliver what the Asian industry is actually looking for to improve their businesses,” he commented.

he t h i rd e d it ion of t he A s i a D r i n k C on ference w a s held ye sterd ay f rom 9:30am to 5:00pm. Designed as a premium knowledge exchange and networking platform for senior managers in the beverage manufacturing industry, the collaboration between Eastern Trade Media and Bangkok Exhibition Services (BES) have enriched attendees in the past two editions with valuable insights on the hottest topics that are affecting the sector.

This year, the conference returned with a stellar

line-up of speakers. Addressing a full attendance at MR 222-223, Jorge Chazarreta, president of Thainamthip, delivered a key note address on beverage trends in Thailand.

Fol low ing that, Ga len Ho, senior account manager at Canadean, gave a broad overview of the beverage trends in Asia during the second keynote address.

He said that packaged water is an important category and is the largest in volume terms, while bulk water is also high in volume due to its low price per litre and high consumption in China and Indonesia. In addition, despite the negative perception on carbonated soft drinks, volume has remained high, but growth is slowing in some key markets such as China.

The afternoon session of the conference was divided into to different tracks addressing different topics of interest.

Under the technology track, Paul Schoenheit, project eng ineer aseptic technolog y from Krones, presented the company’s latest preform decontamination technologies.

After which, Dominique Leroy, global aseptic product key manager from KHS spoke on filling technology for sensitive beverages, while Volker Spiesmacher, sa les and marketing director of Bericap shared the trends and standardisation of different neck sizes for hot fill application.

Wrapping up the session, Marco Bruno, senior product manager at GEA Procomac, talked about filling for milk and milk-based products.

Over at the business and marketing track, Suphachramanee Srivali, marketing director of Dutch Mill, started by discussing the growth of the beverage sector in Thailand.

According to her, the beverage industry can create growth through new f lavours, new functional benef its and by entering new product segments.

The ageing population in Asia together w ith increased health awareness will open a lot of doors for companies.

Ma ria Esperanza Frio A lconcel, manager, policy and government affairs, at EAS Strategic Advice, then provided advice on how companies can leverage on the impending formation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015, before Alexis Leduc, sales manager of OCME, talked about how compact solutions will change the world.

Foo Siew-Ting, marketing director of Southeast Asia for Diageo Asia Pacif ic, offered insights on how brand owners can cater their products to modern consumers.

“First, it starts with an in-depth understanding of the consumers,” she says. “Asia Pacif ic is a large and diverse region—with huge differences in demographics, phychographics and political, economic and cultural challenges which inf luence the formation of different and diverse consumer insights."

She warned that in the fast-paced and dynamic region of Southeast Asia, consumers are ever evolving.

Fina l ly, Samit Chowdhur y and R atanasiri Tilokskulchai from Tetra Pak (Thailand) gave a presentation on how companies can engage consumers through packaging.

Starting Out

A

he Japan Packaging Machinery M a nu fac t u rer s A s soc iat ion ( J P M M A) h a s h a d a lon g history of participating in ProPak Asia and the show is still viewed as a very good opportunity for driving business, said Masahiro Abe, deputy secretarygeneral of JPMMA. Though only f ive companies have come with the association this year, he shared that there are over 30 japanese companies in total exhibiting in the show through their Southeast Asian distributors or partners.

Thailand is a very important country for Japan, he said, as it ranks third in Japan’s list of exporters behind China and North America. “Last year, Japan exported US$35 million to Thailand. It is a huge amount.”

With the gradual shift away from human labour and resulting growth in use and hence demand for sophisticated machinery in Thailand, Mr Abe commented that Thailand is a good market. “We are very interested in Thailand’s market and we can make a lot of businesses in this country.”

However, the Thai market is not the only one the association is eyeing.

“We’re always seeking new markets,” he said. Besides Thailand, he also listed Indonesia as a market of potential.

“And in the future, we will be focusing on Myanmar, Vietnam, and India, though it is not an ASEAN market,” he added.

Regarding his opinion about this year’s show, he mentioned that all participants of the Japanese pavilion have given him positive feedback. “The exhibition is getting bigger and bigger every year. I think it’s the number one exhibition in the ASEAN,” he concluded.

ustralia has not had a pavilion here at ProPak Asia before, but the Australian Packaging & Processing Machinery Association is hoping that they can interest enough Australian companies to participate in the show and create the f irst-ever Australian pavilion soon.

Experiencing ProPak Asia for the first time, Mark Emmett who has been on the association’s Board since 2006, said: “What I’m trying to do while I’m up here is to talk to all the Australian exhibitors and try to have a pavilion in the next year or two for Australia.”

In this year’s show, there are 10 Australian exhibitors here, he shared. On what attracts them to the Southeast Asian markets, “there’s lots of potential here,” he commented. “Some Australian companies like tna have been coming to these shows for five to 10 years, and have a great market developed here.”

The close distance between Australia and the Southeast Asian region is also another plus for Australian companies. “[The region] is in the same time zone really, and it’s our closest neighbour. And countries like Thailand and Philippines, they’re all looking to automate and do more. It’s a good market for us. It’s very close,” Mr Emmett explained.

Previously, the Australian companies had focused mainly on expanding domestically and grew slowly. In contrast, the markets of Southeast Asia are growing rapidly.

“Here we see visitors from Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines, all coming to the show. This is the biggest show in the region,” he noted. “This is the first time [the association] has exhibited here, and we’ll be back. We think it’s a great opportunity to build and we need to find a partner here… But we need a pavilion.”

ike many companies from the European countries, those of Spain have also been lured to the Southeast with the growing markets in recent years.

T h is yea r, f ive compa n ies were registered under the Spanish pavilion, but Rosa Maria Meseguer, adviser for international promotions at AMEC, the Spanish Food Processing Machinery Manufacturer’s Association, believes there are 15 Spanish companies in total at the show.

Some of these have been working in this market for a long time, she added, but with each edition, there are more who are just starting to sell in the Thai market.

Despite economic setbacks, the Thai market is growing today, she said. She reasons that this is due to the gradual shift from manual labour to the use of automation. “It’s the natural evolution of the market, so they will need more machines.”

ProPak Asia therefore provides great business opportunities for both Spanish companies looking to expand in the Southeast Asian region, and for Thai companies looking for automated solutions.

“We think that this show is the main one in the Southeast Asian area, so if we had to decide to come to one show, we think that this is the important one for us. More importantly, in Spain, we have a strong market in food processing and packaging machining, so we’re here,” commented Ms Meseguer.

Feedback from the Spanish companies of this year’s show has been good so far. “At the moment, they are happy with the visits and profile of the visitors,” she said.

In the foreseeable future, she expects that more Spanish companies will come to following editions of the show.

eat and Control’s WeighBack Weigh Conveyor integrates direct load cell weight measurement and onboard control with gentle horizontal motion conveying to deliver precise mass flow data to processing and seasoning applications or packaging equipment.

Load cells eliminate errors due to variations in product density. Calibration is performed with standard scale weights. A lift-off weigh pan provides access to the load cell assembly without removing the main conveyor pan.

For dry and washdown applications, the machine is designed to retrofit a variety of standard weigh belts to improve the productivity of weigh-conveying operations, even for products conveyed at up to 12m/min.

In addition to the weigh conveyor, the company is also showcasing the FastBck Mid Rev-gate at ProPak Asia. The gate keeps the main product supply flowing as it distributes proportional amounts to multiple seasoning application, weighing and packaging stations.

The unique rotary gate eliminates pinch points that can break products and injure operators. At the same time, it also closes completely to prevent product leaks and cross-contamination.

One or two gates can be positioned anywhere on a U-shaped pan of a conveyor.

The gate offers a range of throughputs from 4,400 to 11,000 lbs/h and is easy to clean with no tools required.

onventional checkweighers use the weigh cell signal after signal processing to determine t he weight of e ac h product as it passes over the weight table. If two packs are on the weigh table on the same time, a ‘double product error’ will occur and the system will eject both products since the weight of each individual product cannot be determined.

Anritsu SSV series checkweighers use innovative signal processing and multithreaded f iltering in conjunction with improved scale resolution to minimise these errors. This simultaneously minimises unnecessary rejects and maximises line productivity.

For checkweighers to function properly, operation checking must be performed correctly at each stage of the daily operation: at start-up, during production and at the end of production.

The company’s Smart Guide programme facilitates operation checks and maintenance procedures in an easy-to-understand format. When a procedure is performed incorrectly, the programme will not allow the line to proceed further, ensuring proper operational management.

All weight data and operation check/audit records are saved locally on the checkweigher. At the end of production, the data and operation logs can be sent in the form of electronic reports. This eliminates errors caused by manual collection of data.

The machine comes with a standard 8.5 inch colour LCD touchscreen that provides intuitive operation and navigation. Six standard view screens are available to quickly see product weight and relevant information.

Sleeve Label Leads The Way

A

lthough presently, sleeve labels hold just a small percentage in the global label market, they are growing at a rapid pace due to their various advantages.

TechNavio said that several manufacturers in the sleeve label market are also engaged in the production of packaging products to meet increasing consumer needs. Digital sleeve labels are currently gaining popularity in many retail outlets. Many new products launched by vendors are prompting players to adopt technologically advanced sleeve labels.

Sleeve label consumption reached apporoximately 6.425 bi l l ion sq m in 2014, w ith a va lue of approximately US$4.4 billion. Sleeve labels are growing at a faster rate than the label market as a whole, and represent a 12.5 percent share global

label consumption by areas in 2014, according to Smithers Pira.

Sleeve labelling has been used predominantly for food and beverage product packaging. Combined, these areas accounted for a volume share of 85.3 percent in 2014.

Gains have also been made in other non-food and beverage markets. Sleeve labels are now used for cosmetics and toiletries, health and pharmaceuticals, household care products and many other markets.

Sleeve label demand is largely driven by its advantages in terms of marketing, brand identity and visual on-shelf appeal for customers. Growing demand for plastic bottles and light-weighting of both plastic and glass bottles are also positive influences on demand.

New technolog y developments in f ilms and

Achieving The Right Adhesion

manufacturing processes are improving the quality and definition of sleeve labels on a continual basis.

Other market drivers for sleeve labels include econom ic in f luences, consu mer dema nd for convenience products and retail trends.

Western Europe is the largest regional market for sleeve labels, accounting for a share of close to one-third of global consumption in 2014, followed

by Asia Pacific and South America. The South and Central American market is forecast to grow at the fastest rate in the next five years.

As the major sleeve label markets are maturing in developed countries and competition from lowercost labelling alternatives is intensifying, the market is not expected to increase in value as quickly as it did during the early to middle part of the last decade.

IC Krones’ Colfix adhesives a re desig ned for use in different applications and conditions. For cold-glue labeling of PET, HDPE or coated containers, the company’s synthetic adhesives can compensate for complicated container characteristics to ensure accurate label positioning. The adhesives can be used for cold-glue labeling at container temperatures ranging from 10 deg C to 80 deg C. Stringent requirements apply for hotmelt adhesives used in reel-fed labelling. The plastic or paper labels have to adhere properly, even though they are affixed merely with glue at the leading and tailing edges.

The company’s hotmelt adhesives ensure that the label is positioned properly regardless of machine speed. For containers holding carbonated beverages, the hotmelt adhesives remain flexible and elastic to prevent high expansion stresses.

In addition, the company also offers different packaging adhesives for secure and stable bonding of packaging materials. The EVA-based adhesives score highly in terms of high bonding strength and are particularly well suited for gluing coated cartons, trays or folding boxes.

Polyolefin-based adhesives ensure machines run smoothly with minimal deposits. When a pallet stack needs to be secured, anti-slip adhesives can be applied to increase production dependability. Application at just a few adhesion points can prevent cartons from slipping in transit and ensure that they are easy to detach from each other.

arkem-Imaje’s 2200 Series takes print and apply to the next stage of evolution by providing a wide range of interchangeable applications, optimised operational intervention and fast application rate.

With an 18-month standard warranty extendable up to five years, the machine’s durable and rugged industrial design is constructed around a central solid 38mm thick backbone.

The non-stick label pad and contact parts are easy to clean and the simple media path allows operators to reload label and ribbon rolls in less than 40 seconds.

The use of 560m ribbon and label rolls instead of the market standard of 450m helps reduce line stoppages by 25 percent. The printhead and roller can be replaced in less than 60 seconds.

The machine is able to print and apply at rates up to 125 packs per minute regardless of the data complexity or content. Dual RISC processors, supported by a dedicated ultra-fast co-processor, deliver efficient performance.

Consistent label application with variance of within 0.25mm is ensured through optimised label path, automatic label tension and integrated pad label sensor.

The machine is compliant with ANSI grade A/B codes even at the highest application speed. The o ptional barcode scanner ensures that 100 percent of the cases leave the plant with a readable barcode.

Asia—Global Pharmaceutical Hub

A

sia's pharmaceutical industry is gearing up to be at the centre of the global market and most pharmaceutical companies in the region expect this shift to happen fast.

According to PwC, 58 percent of companies b el ie ve t he cent re of g r av it y of t he globa l pharmaceutical market will be in Asia rather than North America and Europe in the near future. This confidence was expressed by domestic and multinational companies alike.

With regards to packaging, Research and Markets have reported that one of the main factors that are positively affecting the flexible plastic packaging market is growing demand from the pharmaceutical and healthcare sector.

Packaging of medical products need to meet international regulatory compliance standards for safety. The inert properties of plastic along with its durability, cleanliness, transparency and light weight make it the perfect choice for packing complex medical products.

Various grades of plastics are used to store various forms of medical solutions, such as highdensity polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate.

Flexible plastic is a category of plastics that are thin, light and easily stretchable, yet retain barrier characteristics along with being resistant to tearing and puncturing. These properties make flexible plastics suitable for manufacturing packaging products.

Flexible plastic is chemically inert, cheap and visually appealing, which enhances the appeal of

the products they are used to pack. Generally, they are used to pack non-durable and fast-moving unit loads and have limited bulk industrial use, with the exception of FIBCs. MarketsandMarkets has projected the market for pharmaceutical packaging, in terms of value, to reach more than US$80 billion by 2020 with a CAGR of around 6.5 percent between 2015 to 2020. Asia Pacific is expected to be the largest market.

This growth is expected to be highest in emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China, especially due to higher generics and contact manufacturing activities in these countries. Huge population and favourable demographics of these countries are key drivers behind this growth.

In emerging countries, pharmaceutical packaging demand drivers include an ageing world population, rising health awareness among consumers and a trend towards ‘on-the-go’ lifestyles.

An increase in globa l demand for primar y pharmaceutical containers and fast increasing thirdpart y logistics and other ser vices in emerging markets provide ample opportunites for growth in the pharmaceutical packaging market.

Besides flexible plastic packaging, demand for pharmaceutical glass packaging in the Asian market is also expected to exhibit a high growth rate in the next few years. China and India are expected to be the fastest-growing pharmaceutical glass packaging markets in the Asian region given the large population base and increasing prevalence of chronic diseases in these countries.

Bringing Fresh Perspectives

11

E

very year at ProPak Asia, the Food Innovation Contest honours aspiring students for their innovativeness in break ing traditional boundaries to create food products that are beneficial to the community.

The competition was created to motivate university students to bring fresh perspectives on issues the industry face and to provide a networking platform for companies to engage these talented individuals so that their ideas can be brought to market.

This year, team Sphere from Rajamangala University of Technology Tawan-ok emerged as the winner amidst strong competition with their product Por dee kum, which means something that can be easily eaten in just one bite.

With the desire to make local food easier to eat and accessible to everyone, the team set out to extend the shelf-life of Pad Thai by placing it in a packaging that resembles a small bowl. The design extends the shelflife of the product for up to a month in refrigeration of

-20 deg C without compromising the taste and texture by controlling the temperature during the production process.

The runner-up went to Kluay Kluay from Kasetsart University for their creation Ba-Co-Ball. Hoping to promote a traditional Thai dessert made from banana and coconut milk, which has very limited shelf-life, the team made a confectionery that contains a dry version of the dessert covered in chocolate.

Finally, the NPN from Assumption University

won second runner-up with the Riceberry Dumpling Ice Cream. Riceberry has been promoted to the Thai farming community for several years, but farmers still face problems selling and distributing it.

The team wanted to help generate income for farmers by creating a new product that uses riceberry as the main ingredient. The end result is a riceberry ice-cream in the shape of a Japanese gyoza. The product managed to achieve 97 percent acceptance by consumers during tasting sessions.

Snapshots Huge machines like this by Ishida sold well at the show.

Buyers of all needs found machines that fit their requirements.

ProPak Asia gives visitors and buyers a variety of machines to choose from, leading to successful sales.

Day three, but ProPak Asia was as busy as ever.
