First-timer Japan dominates the show floor with its 182 sq m of concerted presence. As one of the largest of national pavilions, they have setup shop for one reason and one alone: They have their sights set on the South-east Asia region. When asked, M Amano, secretary general of the Japan Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Association (JPMMA) says: “Thailand is famous for food packaging. They are up there with the US and South Korea – the big boys in this industry.” In light of the global economic situation, the association is helping its members in two ways. Firstly, to identify areas of growth and places to setup factories. The association says that locally assembled and manufactured machines are the way to go, as they are more competitive in terms of pricing. Another way of assisting its members comes as it showcases the best in Japanese packaging machineries through events like ProPak Asia.

cHInA’S PReSence From hollow moulding machines to hydraulicpressure mini bottling machines, the China pavilion continues to draw a ready crowd with its extensive range of processing and packaging machines – all most competitively priced. In total, 10 different companies from mainland China are here in ProPak Asia 2009 looking for greater co-operation and sales opportunities in the region. Says Steven Wang, an engineer from the Shanghai Nanhua Transducer Manufacture (SNTM): “We have a lot of good

customers here in Thailand and we take this opportunity to keep in touch with them. Our regular big customers like Danone, Coca-Cola and Nestlé have come here to see us already.” SNTM manufactures a range of aseptic as well as general filling machines for the beverage industry. Occupying some 60 sq m, Guangzhou Vanta Packing Machinery’s booth is the largest in the Chinese contingent. “This is the second time we are at ProPak. Last year, we took 12 sq m, but this year as we brought our Vanta rotary hot-melt labeller, we took a larger booth,” says Daniel Tao, sales manager of the company. With trade enquiries coming in from countries such as Nepal, Singapore and India, Mr Tao is quick to credit the attention to its “larger booth that has brought added impact.”

TAIwAn VenTuReS Hon Chuan FD Packaging has a booth located within the Taiwan national pavilion. “ProPak Asia is a useful platform if you want to showcase new products or, have expansion plans,” says Steven Lai, the MD of the company. Mr Lai is happy with the turn-out so far. He says: “We had quite a number of visitors to our booth in the afternoon on the first day. It was a fruitful day as we identified a number of potential buyers.”

SInGAPoRe ReAcHeS ouT Seven companies form the team Singapore contingent to the event. Organised by the Singapore Manufacturers’ Federation (SMA) and supported by IE Singapore, this is its fifth year of participation. “This show is really for Singapore companies to reach out to the market with their products and services, as well as, showcase their technology. It is also an opportunity for them to establish new contacts and renew ties with their customers in Thailand,” says Dennis Toh, senior manager for international trade development in SMA. Newbies to the show are Beacons Technology and CM Industries. Says Michael Lim, Beacons’ sales director: “We were here as visitors last year, and we realised that there were a lot of equipment vendors, especially in the pharmaceutical and food business. So far, we have received enquiries from visitors and even exhibitors, which is an encouraging start.” Despite the global economic downturn, the response from visitors and exhibitors alike has been positive, says Mr Toh, with companies receiving enquiries from potential buyers on their products and services just after the first day. n

Anritsu Points The Way Forward

Ishida Believes In Customer Care

By Joson Ng

aking its South-east Asian debut at ProPak Asis 2009 is the KD 7405 DWH X-ray inspection machine. This machine signals the company’s intent to provide a better foreign body detection machine to the pharmaceutical and food packaging industry. It is also a result of the company’s policy of constant R&D as Kazama Toru, VP, Anritsu Industrial Solutions elaborates: “We spend some 10 percent of our annual turnover on R&D.” As far as Mr Kazama is concerned, it is money well spent as some of these machines are able to detect foreign objects as small Kazama Toru, VP, Anritsu as 0.2mm 2 in food and pharmaceutical Industrial Solutions products. The company is however, not one to rest on its laurels: They are embarking on more ambitious projects. “We are trying to develop better technologies in order to allow users to detect a wider range of foreign bodies. This is our long term plan. We are trying very hard now because there are added incentives to do so – we believe the demand for such machines will be great,” he adds. The company is also on an expansion phase. So far, they have setup base camps in Brazil, India, China and Russia. In addition, as Anritsu views Thailand as a key growth region, they opened a Thai manufacturing plant in the country last year. Be it business or technology, the company aims to point the way forward in both these areas. n

ustomer service and technology, these are the ‘buzzwords’ for Ishida, as far as Hiroki Takabayashi, GM of the Thailand subsidiary is concern. Speaking passionately about customer service, Mr Takabayashi says: “Some 50 percent of our staff in Thailand is devoted to customer service. We have more people in customer service than sales because we know how important it is.” The organisation has about 2,600 employees worldwide, of which, half are based in Japan. Hiroki Takabayashi, Today, the Thai subsidiary, setup in 2001, GM, Ishida Thailand has 20 employees. To drive home the point Mr Takabayashi likens the relationship between suppliers and customers to a marriage. “The relationship truly starts after a sale is made. A successfully concluded sale is never the ending point, it is just the beginning,” he adds. For Mr Takabayashi, the first day of ProPak Asis 2009 marks the first day of a new relationship with four buyers as four system lines were sold. As far as technology goes, he has an equally animated description. He says: “Like pole vaulting in the Olympic Games, you keep going higher and higher, raising the bar as you go.” With the two fundamentals firmly in place, Ishida Thailand is planning to spread their wings. “As we have customers from Chang Rai to Pattani, we plan to establish more office throughout the country in the future,” he adds. At present the company’s main manufacturing plants are in Japan, South Korea, China, the UK and Brazil. The Japan headquarter, on top of production, provides R&D direction for the whole organisation. n

Ziemann’s Manufacturing Network Saves 20% Costs For Brewers By Tjut Rostina

rewers can save at least 20 percent in setup and operation cost by utilising Ziemann’s comprehensive engineering and design services in combination with its global manufacturing network. The programme allows brewers to set up their operations in local countries, cutting back costs on factors like transportation, import taxes as well as manpower. This serves well for companies that are looking to expand their operations out of their home country, so they can get a customised equipment mix based on their individual requirements combining equipment from Europe and Asia. The network covers manufacturing facilities in India, China, Thailand, as well as Mexico, Brazil and Europe. “Let’s say somebody wants to build a brewery in India, we can use our factory there and save on the transportation cost of equipment. As we use

the local personnel, it’s a reduction on manpower cost. And of course we can save on the import taxes – and that can go up to 40 percent,” explained Joachim Gunkel, MD for Ziemann. He also adds that the brewery consists of the brewhouse, process area, as well as packaging and filling lines. The company has invested Euro 20 million (US$27.9 million) in the set up and operations of its Indian factory, located in Khondapuri, near Pune and is currently manufacturing equipment for SABMiller breweries in India as well as in Australia. Each brewery will have a fully operational capacity of two million hl with an initial production capacity of 500,000 hl when it opens by mid-2010. Companies that utilise Ziemann’s programme include also the Chennai-based Indian company, Mohan Breweries (for its operations in Punjab). But that’s not all. Ziemann is also assisting its customers by means of focus workshops specifically

Showing The Whey Whey protein has the potential to substitute polymer layers in the packing of food. By Jessica Wildner, project manager, ttz Bremerhaven; RTD performer

APFI, Format �� x �� mm, PET, CC-en��-AZ�� /��

en SME-AGs and SMEs have joined forces with four research partners under the leadership of IRIS, a Spanish research centre, and PIMEC, the Catalonian SME Association. Together they have discovered that whey protein has the potential to substitute polymer layers in the packing of food. By developing a technique for the manufacture of whey-coated plastic films with oxygen barrier properties, the consortium will improve food safety through the use of bio-based and partly also biodegradable packaging.

Making Headway Using high-tech materials can expand packaging possibilities. The structure of the material may also reduce the speed of rancidity. Whey has already proven to work as an oxygen barrier and is being subjected to further examination during the threeyear duration of Wheylayer, an EU-funded project.

Life is liquid. (�)

The Science Behind It

Every. Gram. Counts.

Whey protein-based and coated plastic film will represent a breakthrough in this field of business. Chemical-based copolymers can be substituted by a natural protein. The whey layer can be easily broken down to separate the PE and PP layers in the sorting and cleaning phase. With conventional materials such as co-extruded polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), up to 40 percent scrap is left for disposal after use. The new development will create cross-sectored advantages.

Test & Applications Various polymer coatings will be examined in the project. The adherence of the hydrophilic whey protein coating will be improved by means of a ‘sandwich construction’ with a sub-layer between the whey coating and the hydrophobic polymer. n

Temperature Controlled Greenbox To Reduce Spoilage California, USA: To address the costly issue of product spoilage, Greenbox is the first-of-itskind temperature-controlled shipper. Designed for the food, pharmaceutical and blood industries, the thermal management system is capable of keeping contents at a consistent temperature for approximately five days. While traditional temperature-sensitive shipping methods involve cardboard boxes, EPS (styrofoam) and gel packs or dry ice, the thermal management system is constructed of a plastic outer shell, insulation panels and a renewable phase change material. The phase change material acts as an ‘internal thermostat’, keeping the payload at a consistent temperature for the duration of its shipment. Greenbox is 100 percent recyclable and biodegradable. When the bright green outer shell and thermal-lok panels reach the end of their lives, they can be ground down and made into new shells and panels. In addition, the box features non-petroleum, non-toxic phase change materials. n

Demand For Frozen Food Packaging To reach uS$6.4 Billion in 2011 Demand is on the rise due to demographic trends and calls for conveniencetype packaging. By esther Palevsky, research analyst, freedonia Group

for convenience-type items, especially micro-waveable products and those packaged for single-portion use.

he demand for frozen food packaging is projected to increase 4.1 percent per year to US$6.4 billion in 2011 driven by heightened demand for convenience-type foods, along with the prevalence of microwave ovens and technological advances in packaging. Demographic trends such as smaller household sizes, the aging of the population and rising numbers of households will have a positive impact on consumption of convenience-type foods. In addition, healthy revenue growth in the food service industry will boost opportunities for packaging.

Meat, poultry and seafood and frozen specialties applications account for nearly 60 percent of demand in 2006 and will post aboveaverage growth through 2011. Gains in meat, poultry and seafood uses will be the result of production volume expansion and rising demand

fruit and vegetable, ice cream and baked goods applications will expand more slowly. The mature frozen vegetable market has been reinvigorated by a spate of

account for the majority of frozen food packaging. Rigid packaging continues to dominate though flexible packaging will grow faster due to the greater cost effectiveness and overall source reduction capabilities of pouches, bags and wraps. Pouches will continue to represent the fastest growing frozen food packaging product type. More moderate prospects for rigid packaging will be the result of the greater maturity of products such as folding cartons, gabletop cartons and composite cans. Good opportunities are also anticipated for plastic rigid containers such as trays, tubs and cups, and clamshells. n

Canning:

The End Is The Beginning Kian Joo Can Factory turns to cost savings innovation to stay competitive in beverage packaging. By Tjut Rostina

n an age where PET bottles are offered as alternative packaging for traditionally canned beverages (including beer), the canning industry could look to innovative ideas to increase its competency through cost savings in the beverage-packaging arena. According to Kian Joo Can Factory (KJCF), they have the answer to saving costs for canned beverages. Based in Malaysia, the company has been promoting their idea on cost savings for the two-piece can. The idea is to develop the 200D diameter end lid, with a diameter of two inches that will fit all beverage cans.

Putting A Lid On Cost savings is a primary concern for any organisation, and within the canning industry. In Asia, most beverage cans are still using the 206 diameter ends. The development of the 200D, involves the adoption of the ends used in the 200/202 slim cans on the 325/330 ml cans. The difference between the 200D end and the 206 end normally used is 6/16 of an inch. Accumulatively, this would translate to savings in material costs. Standardising the ends to the 200D would cut down operation costs as it will no longer be necessary to reconfigure a machine to cater to different end sizes. It will also promote flexibility among brand owners to establish differentiation by product category. The ends w h i ch a cco mmodate slim cans, commonly used for sports and energy drinks, can now be fitted onto cans with varying sizes, like the 206 (diameter)/211 (height) cans to 200/211.

More For Less The philosophy adopted by KJCF for this development is ‘One End Fits All’. By standardising the ends to the 200D, can makers can benefit from material savings and also keep the hassle of a changeover permanently. The adoption of this process also includes other benefits like: • Singular Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) • Cost savings in terms of inventory management • Reduced metal and so cuts the down on the emission of CO2 • Non-patented, so no payment on royalty • Estimated changeover of two hours for a 1,000 cans per minute line GM for KJCF 2 Piece Can Division, Teh Kok Lim, said: “For a 1,000 cpm can filling line, changing parts for 200 diameter neck ends would be about US$250,000, and that would pay for itself in six months.” n

Comparison: Glass Jar / Carton Package

or the first time, a Europe-wide lifecycle assessment for food metal cans, glass jars, carton packs and pouches has now confirmed that using carton packaging saves CO2 emissions and fossil resource consumption by up to 60 percent. The study conducted by the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (Ifeu) sees the overall weight and the material of the packaging as the main drivers for the environmental impacts of a packaging system for ambient food products (such as soups and tomato products).

Substantiated Assertions Environmental performance of packaging has become a key factor in evaluation and decision-making for policymakers, the food industry, retailers and consumers alike. Properly substantiated assertions relating to the impact of a packaging solution on the environment can only be made on the basis of valid facts.

SIG Combibloc commissioned the Ifeu Institute in Heidelberg, Germany, to analyse and assess the environmental impact of different ambient food packaging systems in a comparative lifecycle assessment. Michael Hecker, Head of Group Environment, Health & Safety at SIG Combibloc says: “Our objective was to gain well-founded information on the environmental performance of the most commonly used packaging for ambient food products. In addition to our aseptic and retortable carton packs, the analysis looked at food metal cans, glass jars and retortable pouches”. The results of the study show that the overall weight and the material of the packaging are key factors to consider when assessing the environmental impact of an ambient food packaging system.

Striking Outcomes In the study, the aseptic and the retortable carton packaging systems show the best results in all environ-

Plus, new cartoning solutions can match its output in small footprints. Combining these developments with a new paradigm can maximise returns.

Getting The Edge

lexibility and cost control are essential, and many are finding that traditional equipment is not cut out for this fast environment. The traditional packaging line concept focuses on creating a purpose-built line that runs high volumes for extended periods of time.

Life-Cycle Assessment Confirms Key Packaging Factors

The equipment and components of the flexible packaging cell are similar in function to those of bag-in-box lines. The difference is in the packaging cell’s ability to change quickly between package styles, sizes, or fill weights. By having equipment that can run different packaging styles, the cell provides benefits such as: • Flexibility: the ability to run virtually any package with minimal setup time • Adaptability: the ability to change quickly • Productivity: rapid, no-tool changeovers • Redundancy: Reduced risk of line shutdown The flexible packaging cell format demands that the industry alter its mindset of the past several decades. To compete in today’s market, packagers need to update their packaging capabilities and invest in more agile, responsive systems. n

packaging causes up to 60 percent less environmental impact than the comparative types of packaging considered in the life-cycle assessment. Carton packs use fewer fossil resources than food metal cans, glass jars and pouches, because they contain a high share of paper board, which is obtained from the renewable raw material wood. At around 70 percent, this raw material is the main component of carton packs. n

Compostable SunChips Packages By 2010 Texas, US: SunChips, Frito-Lay's line of multigrain snacks, will introduce a fully compostable snack chip bag made from plantbased materials by 2010. This is to improve the environmental impact of its packaging. The brand took its first step towards this transformation by changing the outer layer of packaging on 10.5 oz size snack bags to a compostable, plant-based renewable material, polylactic acid (PLA). By 2010, the company’s North American division plans to rollout a package where all three layers are made from PLA material, making the package 100 percent compostable. When the packaging is 100 percent compostable, it will fully decompose in about 14 weeks when placed in a hot, active compost pile or bin. The company anticipates that the switch will lead to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and eliminate petroleum-based packaging material. n

Veolia: Heuft:

Sidewall Inspection

The fourfold sidewall inspection Inline R10 from Heuft detects glass faults, foreign objects and contamination. It is made with a compact casing of the standard InLine empty bottle inspector. Two cameras photograph the two opposite sides of a container first. This is then rotated by 90 degrees and two pictures are taken of the opposite sides. Faults on frosted glass bottles and containers with special shapes or glass structures are detected in this way. The tool can inspect both angular and round containers.

Ultrafiltration System

Uflex, developed by Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies, is the company’s latest ultrafiltration system offering. They are skid-mounted and are compact solutions for removing suspended solids, most bacteria and log4 viruses. This solution is used to treat industrial process water, borehole water, and has reuse/recycling applications. The system uses hollow fibre membranes of polyether sulphone. The nominal pore size of 0.01μm filters the water to 100 percent and no concentrate occurs. According to the company, the Uflex is easy to operate and maintain due to its fully automatic rinsing and cleaning operations, as well as an incorporated controller. The system is available in flow rates ranging from four to 24m³ per hour per skid or four to 96m³/h for four skids in parallel.

Cama Opens Regional Office To Increase Turnover By Tjut Rostina

taly-headquartered Cama Group has bold ambitions. It aims to propel its turnover from Euro 40 million (US$55.7 million) to Euro 60 million within a five year period – by making its presence felt in the Asia Pacific region. Daniele Bellante, the company’s MD, says: “One and a half years ago, we started a project to set (L-R) Luca Peron, Dr Annalisa Bellante up an office for the Asia & Daniele Bellante Pacific region. Last year, we showcased our machinery for the first time in ProPak Asia, and we promised our potential customers in this market to set up a regional office here.” The company has kept to its promise. They opened a Bangkok office in mid-May this year and have allocated a sum of Euro 300,000 to cover its initial operational and marketing costs. According to Mr Bellante, Bangkok was chosen as the most ideal location due in part to its geographical positioning and, because of the cooperative relationship it has with its local partner, Diethelm. Cama Asia Pacific is also looking into setting up similar subsidiaries within the next three to five years in Australia, China, Malaysia and Indonesia. These plans will be carried out based on future market developments. n
