ProPak 2009:

riding The Crest of recovery

By Tjut Rostina

O

ff the bat, the numbers of exhibitors showed an increase.

Where last year the show was home to 766 companies from 37 countries for four days, this year, the number rose to 785 countries from 39 countries.

Size certainly does matter too! In terms of square footage, it chewed up some 23,642 sq m of exhibition space – an increase of 18.2 percent over last year’s 20,000 sq m.

But it wasn’t just the exhibitors’ numbers that shot northwards. More importantly, the number of visitors to the show improved too. By Day 3, the record books showed an increase of visitorship by 12 percent. Visitors came from 66 countries with the top 10 international visitors in descending order being: Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, Vietnam, India, Philippines, China, Myanmar, Indonesia, Hong Kong and Taiwan With the increases all around, the show is expected to generate trade value of more than 3.5 billion Baht (US$102.5

Despite the global economic downturn, ProPak asia 2009 proves its resilience and is even riding the crest of an upcoming recovery! million) over four days and a 10 billion Baht thereafter – 10 percent more than what was initially expected.

Comments garnered from those on the show floor included visitors like John Sloth Rasmussen, a Danish production manager for the Carlsberg Group Asia. Placed in Asia as a supervisor for Lao Brewery in Laos, he says: “I see more suppliers and more visitors at this year’s show.” Here for the Brewers’ Conference, he adds: “The show keeps me updated on market trends and on the technology already in place.

There are new suppliers, especially more Chinese companies – this proves interesting.”

He is keeping a close eye on the various equipment and solutions

available on the show floor that he may be able to purchase later.

Another, Ricky Ong, sales manager Asia Heat & Control, a regular exhibitor to the show says: “We had expected to see less visitors this year due to the economic crises – however, we were pleasantly surprised – the turnover has been better!

We also received an encouraging 20 enquiries just on the Day 2 alone.”

As ProPak Asia 2009 draws to a close – it is heartening to know that the results seem to indicate a turnaround in the economy. With more quality visitors in coming through the doors, certainly more exhibitors have been able to achieve their desired awards.

Next year, ProPak Asia will be held from June 16 – 19, 2010. See you soon! n

UK & France Flying Their national Colours

P

ushing ahead despite budget cuts and travel restrictions imposed on some of their members, the British and French pavilions are intent to make their presence felt with new innovations, machines and products to enthrall all at ProPak Asia 2009.

STORAGE & HANDLING

C a r l F o s t e r, t h e international sales director of Durham Duplex hopes to introduce more madein-Sheffield industrial blades and knives into the Asian market.

With two other companies here occupying some 60 sq m of floor space, Mr Foster is proudly flying the British colours for the UK Pavilion. As he is no stranger to Thailand, he has also been tasked to hold fort for The Processing & Packaging Machinery Association (PPMA). The trade association, a veteran to the ProPak event since 1994, represents over 350 suppliers of processing and packaging machinery to the UK market.

Durham Duplex has been making considerable inroads into the Thai market with its office in Bangkok and a just-opened

“sizeable” factory in Amata City on Thailand’s eastern seaboard.

He says: “So far we’ve received a very good level of enquiries for the whole range of what we do.”

nEW FREnCh VEnTuRES Petite Arielle Gernez is the chef de projet for UbiFrance, the French agency for international business development.

“We are encouraging new ventures to come into the Asia Pacific region. And, this year we have Huhtamaki France, a first timer coming to Thailand looking for business opportunities with its barrier sheets, thermoforming and FFS (form, fill, seal) machines.”

Playing host to the five companies (GeciTech, Hema – Sidel Group, AM2C, Socaps, and Huhtamaki France) the French pavilion occupies some 24 sq m of centralised exhibition space.

Ms Gernez says the event is “very professionally run and the organisers are just tops!” n

VWS Pursues Diversification In SEA

Quality Counts At Sympak

By Joson Ng

Q

W

uality is the key word for the Sympak group. The Stephan line of universal machines carried by the company are all manufactured in Germany, according to Richard Grahammer, senior food technologist. That, as far as he is concerned, is not going Richard Grahammer, senior food technologist to change anytime soon.

“We have no plans whatsoever to setup an overseas manufacturing plant in the near future. We are taking this stance because we want to maintain the quality of our product. Although it is tempting to jump on the bandwagon and manufacture our products elsewhere in the world where labour cost is lower, we feel it is a safer bet in the long run to manufacture our products in Germany,” he says.

Taking pride in their machines, he proudly points to the Stephan UMC 5 which is a universal machine suitable for laboratory use in display at the Sympak booth in this year’s show. The mixer cooker emulsifier is suitable for R&D of ready food, and is set to become the next big thing according to Mr Grahammer.

The decision to participate in this year’s show is also part of the company’s plan to capture more market share in Thailand where they feel has good potential. Giving Propak Asia 2009 a thumbs-up, he says: “This show is the most professionally run show of its kind in this region.”

Although Mr Grahammer says that the number of visitors have gone down slightly, he feels this is unavoidable given the economic situation worldwide. There is however a silver lining, he has about 15 - 20 serious enquiries so far over the past three days. n

ith support from the company’s competence centre in Berkefeld, Germany, Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies (VWS) is confident of making an impact on the food and beverage industry in South-east Asia.

Exhibiting in ProPak Asia 2009 is one of the many ways to do so. The results so far have been promising.

“I am happy with the number of enquiries we gathered over the last (L-R) Marcus Toh, senior business three days. We have some 20 serious development engineer & Kai enquiries which we will follow-up Richter, sales manager of VWS closely”, says Kai Richter, sales manager of VWS. The numbers are up by 25 percent compared to the show last year.

This increase in enquiries can partly be attributed to the technologies they are showcasing at their booth this year. With some 5 - 10 percent of their annual turnover put into R&D last year, technological solutions are continuously improving.

For instance, VWS has high expectations for its membrane filtering technology.

Mr Richter explains: “The purification process is free of bacteria and viruses, therefore it produces higher quality product water. But that is not all. This solution can result in a 30 percent reduction in operation costs compared to the conventional sand filtering technology.”

Cost savings is vital given the fluid nature of this industry as Mr Richter says: “Nowadays, our industry changes quickly. For instance in Russia, things have changed from busy to quiet within six months. But of course our long term investment plans in these markets are able to offset any sudden adjustments.” This peculiar scenario has driven the company to diversify as they target a wider scope of activities in SEA while continuing to provide holistic solutions to their customers. n

Makcus Winter, CEO, Krones

he Krones Academy is set to open in Bangkok, Thailand, in December this year. The company will invest some Euro 1 million ( US 1.4 million) in its first and, only training academy in the Asia Pacific region The academy will open its doors to maintenance technicians and operators in early 2010. Serving the F&B industry, the academy offers both theoretical and practical training to interested parties. It also offers onsite training for businesses who prefers to have it in-house.

Krones’ CEO, Markus Winter says: “A better trained staff in a factory makes less mistakes, and can increase

efficiency in the line because they are able to identify with the machines.

This is why it is important to have practical training.”

With an area measuring 300 sq m, the facility comes complete with classrooms and various training equipment. Course participants at the academy can familiarise themselves with the operating and maintenance procedures for fillers, labellers and line automation.

Earlier this year, the German specialists in process technology, filling and packaging held a ‘Leadership Management Training’ course that catered to local Thai supervisors and

as Cool as it gets Any reduction in the refrigeration system condensing temperature or rise in the evaporating temperature will save energy. By Judith Evans, Food Refrigeration and Process Engineering Research Centre, University of Bristol also allowing a variable compression ratio, would reduce energy by around five percent.

any food operators utilise control strategies to save energy. This can involve control of evaporator fans, the refrigeration system or of temperature inside the cold room.

In many instances, temperatures are kept lower than necessary to provide a safety margin, in case of plant failure.

If any potential failure can be predicted by monitoring plant performance, preventative maintenance can be carried out.

Control systems can also be used to identify the optimal time to load shed, defrost and to run compressors. This is to maintain the correct temperature, while minimising energy usage.

BLOWn aWay Fan energy can be a significant energy load, especially in chilling or freezing operations. On evaporators, the fan power is also a heat load on the refrigeration system, and so needs to be paid for as direct energy and as refrigeration energy.

Traditionally, evaporator and condenser fans were shaded pole motors that are 17 to 30 percent efficient. Recent DC motor technology has produced fans that are 70 to 75 percent efficient.

The energy saving potential of these fans is huge. For example, it is estimated that using a DC four fan condenser, compared to an AC inverter controlled fan, would save 5,957 kWh per annum.

COMPRESSORS FuLLy LOaDED Efficient compressor selection depends on the cooling application. Compressors

By minimising the temperature difference, the condensing temperature can be maintained at as low a level as possible to minimise energy consumption.

In the food industry, condensers are either air cooled, water-cooled or are evaporative cooled. Water-cooled and evaporative cooled condensers take advantage of the greater heat transfer capacity of water and the lower wet bulb temperature of the air to cool the refrigerant. Therefore, it is possible to condense at a lower pressure and save energy. can operate at part load conditions, where only part of the suction gas is compressed.

However, it rarely operates efficiently. With a suitable control system, it is possible to operate individual compressors at full load. Another alternative solution is to use an inverter to drive the compressor motor.

• The Inverter Solution Inverters can run compressors down to 30 percent full load with minimal drop off in efficiency. Although the use of an inverter will have a slight energy penalty, the inverter driven compressor will have benefits at lower loads.

Therefore, for cooling demands such as process chillers and freezers, where the compressor would run at 100 percent load for only the initial part of the cycle, an inverter driven compressor could have considerable energy benefits.

• Two-Stage Compression In large installations, and often those using ammonia as a refrigerant, it is typical to use two-stage compression.

The two compressors are intercooled to prevent compressor failure.

• Economisers In smaller systems, the use of economisers on compressors can provide considerable energy savings.

In an economiser, a portion of the condensed liquid will be injected into an intermediate vapour injection port on the compressor. This has the effect of sub cooling the liquid leaving the condenser. Fitting an economiser to a large screw compressor, while

cabinet will contain ambient air. If the air is above the dew point temperature of the evaporator, any water contained in the air will condense on the evaporator.

If the evaporator is below zero deg C, it would need to be heated periodically to disperse the frost. Considerable energy savings are thought possible by optimising defrosts.

Several methods to defrost evaporators are employed. Chilled rooms are often defrosted during an ‘off-cycle’. This is where ice on the evaporator is allowed to melt naturally when the system is off. Although this method does not use any direct energy to melt the ice, it can only be used in chilled rooms.

LOOKinG ahEaD Various systems for defrost on demand have been proposed. These include artificial intelligence techniques, neural networks, air pressure differential, fan power sensing, and measuring ice thickness.

Most of these methods have been proposed for retail display cabinets, but have not gained widespread acceptance due to the complexity of sensing methods, reliability and cost. n

Bottling:

Looks Matter Bottle designs can make or break a product, making it crucial in today’s market. By Joson Ng Design & Process

Sidel

Like the multi functional mobile phones of today, bottles not only have to satisfy the primary function of holding the content without leakages, it has to be easy to store and stack. Adding aesthetics, weight and durability to the mix, bottle designs and its manufacturing processes have steadily gain importance over the years.

Food packaging solutions provider, Sidel places equal emphasis on designs and manufacturing processes to produce low cost, durable bottles. They have produced NoBottle, an ultra light bottle, which combines elegance with rigidity.

Weighing 9.9 grm, the 500 ml bottle can withstand the rigours of conveying, packaging and transport.

These features can be attributed to the flexibility and the shape memory property of the bottle brought out by the design and manufacturing process.

Benefits of good design and manufacturing process extend from pure performance all the way to the financial sphere. The manufacturing process of NoBottle has a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) 20 percent less than the TCO for a traditional line producing 500 ml bottles weighing 16 grm.

Weight Loss Programme

S

tyle and functionality are probably the two main criteria a bottle designer tries to fulfil. Aesthetics may capture the imagination of some; the iconic Coca-Cola bottle is easily one of the most recognisable bottles in the world today. Combination of the two will surely be the winning formula.

Functionality of a design involves the ‘handiness’ of a bottle, strength and size. A good design should also allow ease of processing during the filling stage. Functionality of design can be used as a marketing tool and also as a cost-reducing tool. A well-designed bottle can have environmental benefits as well.

Design innovation in glass bottles often involves losing excess weight. Cost savings are aplenty but the salient point here is the positive impact on the environment.

Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) has reduced the weight of its 330 ml glass ‘Coca-Cola’ contour bottle by a fifth. All new glass bottles are now being made to the new specifications, known as the ‘ultra’ design.

The new bottle weighs 20 percent less, having been reduced from 263 grm to 210 grm, and, in order to maintain its trademarked dimensions, is 0.1 mm wider and around 13 mm shorter than the original.

The lightweight bottles have been developed using design software that helps determine the stress points and optimum weight of a glass

UPC Continues To Evolve

J

une 3 marked the 35th anniversary of the Universal Product Code (UPC) or what we know better as the ubiquitous bar code.

Developed and administered by GS1 US, it has become one of the world’s best-known symbols. Comprising of a row of 59 machine-readable black and white bars and 12 human-readable digits, it serves to convey the identity of a specific product and its manufacturer.

Developed originally to help speed up the checkout process at supermarkets, it has since been credited for the economic and productivity gains for shoppers, retailers and manufacturers alike. One study estimates that the bar code saves around US$17 billion in the grocery sector alone.

Today, UPCs are scanned more than 10 billion times a day in applications spanning more than 25 industries,

bottle, allowing technicians to create the strongest and lightest viable design.

Marketing Opportunities In the competitive beverage industry, companies are constantly looking for ways to gain market share and enhance product image. Marketing is the conventional way, but companies can avoid splashing the big money just by making some changes in their product design.

This is demonstrated by Campbell soup, who found a way to sell their product via vending machines by redesigning their bottle.

The team worked closely with Amcor and the Coca-Cola company representatives to better understand how various types of vending machines function and what bottle attributes are needed to maximise performance. The end result is an attractive bottle that offers better grip and portability while also enhancing the health equity of the brand.

Recipe For Higher Production There is another angle to the advantages of a good bottle design. Well-designed bottles not only help boost sales, they also help reduce production time during the filling process. AriZona Beverage Company benefited from faster filling time when they developed a range of its readyto-drink beverages in 20 oz custom PET bottles.

These bottles are made with Constar’s Vertical Compensation Technology (VCT).

As many of the beverage company’s products are hot-filled, it requires bottles that can accommodate the initial heat of filling and the proceeding cooling process. PET bottles with VCT technology provide an alternative that employs a special geometry to address the hotfill process. The new bottles are designed using predictive engineering software, which optimises performance and material use.

“What we have developed is a ‘smarter’ bottle in that it accommodates the hot-fill process, but with the smooth side walls, it also allows for the high-speed application of roll-fed labels. While consumers can’t see the bottle’s profile under the label, the rigidity of the bottle is similar to glass,” says Scott Pleune, VP of marketing and business development, Constar.

In the food and beverage business of today, the combinations of functionality, aesthetics and marketing value have made bottle designs as important as the substance it is holding inside. n

including consumer packaged goods, apparel, hardware, food services, healthcare, logistics, government, and high-tech.

The UPC’s success has inspired the creation of new ways to identify products: • The newest bar code, GS1 DataBar, can be found increasingly on coupons and loose produce, such as apples, pears, and tomatoes.

On January 1, 2010, supermarkets will begin scanning and processing the GS1 DataBar, which can be configured in different formats to fit a smaller space or carry additional information, such as ‘best before’ or

expiration dates, or lot numbers.

• GS1 Data Matrix, a bar code that resembles a checkerboard, holds large amounts of data in a relatively small space. This has become increasingly popular for a range of applications including aerospace, pharmaceutical, and medicaldevice manufacturing.

• The Electronic Product Code (EPC) carries information similar to that within a bar code, but is read by radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology. In the retail environment, EPC can enable a checkout process that is nearly instantaneous. n

Sustainability In Manufacturing Operations Short and medium term goals must be identified, and programmes must be resourced, instrumented, and managed to achieve sustainable manufacturing.

By Greg Gorbach, VP of Collaborative Manufacturing, ARC Advisory Group

Emissions & Asset Lifecycle

Water & Waste Management

Strategies for minimising CO2 emissions throughout the plant need to be developed. Many of these strategies may be implemented as part of asset lifecycle management and continuous improvement programs, although some may require adjustments to the production process itself.

Operational changes such as replacing water washing with air washing, or modifying batch recipes to reduce water usage, can be considered. Reaching solid waste goals may require issuing packaging guidelines to upstream suppliers and working with them to reduce packaging materials.

Most manufacturers already place a premium on production efficiency, but sustainability requirements will up the stakes even more. New scheduling algorithms may take energy usage and CO2 generation explicitly into account. n

‘S

ustainable manufacturing,’ embodies three principle concepts: Design and produce environment and resource friendly products; in environment and resource friendly plants; with environment and resource friendly suppliers and supply chain networks.

Energy Practices Sustainable energy practices involve improving energy conservation and efficiency, as well as changing to alternative energy sources where possible.

• Planning & Visibility In order to reduce energy costs and the energy component of carbon footprint, it is important to employ systems that can provide a high-resolution view of the company’s enterprise energy consumption and generated emissions, as well as establish specific goals and targets.

Based on this, energy or emissions intensive operations may be selected for improvements.

• Energy Reduction New approaches to energy management need to be employed to achieve substantial reductions in energy usage and CO2 emissions.

The notion of ‘energy unit’ was introduced to measure the amount of energy consumed per unit produced.

• Alternative Power Local power generation using alternative sources such as wind, solar, hydroelectric, or geothermal can reduce energy costs and carbon footprint. It may also create new opportunities to sell power back to the grid.

Quality Control:

Cause For Concern Supplements can suffer from inadvertent contamination of banned substances. By Dr Catherine Judkins and Dr David J Hall, HFL Sport Science

aCCiDEnTaL COnTaMinaTiOn

• Risk Reduction Analytical techniques have been developed by

• ISO 17025 Accreditation The key laboratory accreditation for carrying out supplement testing is ISO 17025. This is an international standard for testing labs, which demands dependable analysis against defined detection limits for defined substances in a defined matrix.

Without the accreditation for supplement analysis, contaminated products could still pass undetected.

• Good Manufacturing Practice Companies with GMP accreditation can also offer some comfort to the end user. However, it does not necessarily mean that products are tested for contamination of banned substances.

Therefore, companies that manufacture products in line with GMP, and also carry out regular banned substance screening on their products using ISO 17025 accredited tests, are the only companies that can significantly reduce the risk of contaminated products finding their way into retail channels.

ver 10 percent of 152 supplements sourced from standard UK outlets contained steroids, prohormones (which the body converts to steroids), or stimulants. This was according to a recent study by HFL Sport Science in the UK. These were all on the WADA (World Anti Doping Agency) banned list, and not declared on the label.

While it is clear that a number of supplements contain banned substances (as declared on the label), it is also clear that a number of supposedly ‘clean’ supplements may be inadvertently contaminated and could lead to a positive drugs test.

Inadvertent contamination can occur via two main routes: Raw materials sourced from different parts of the world, and which may not be handled according to good manufacturing practices (GMP). The second route is cross contamination arising from the use of shared equipment.

Strict liability rules demand that athletes take responsibility for what goes into their bodies, so how can they manage the risk?

supplement products for the presence of trace levels of banned substances.

• No Safety Guarantee It should be noted, however, that even with GMP regulations and product screening, there is still no guarantee that a product is ‘clean’. New designer steroids regularly find their way into the market place, and it is difficult to detect these unknown compounds.

laboratories within doping control to determine the presence or otherwise of substances that are banned

by WADA. These are at relevant levels set in the parts per billion range.

These techniques can be used as part of a manufacturer’s quality control process to screen

• Risk Management It is noteworthy to mention that WADA does not accredit any labs for supplement testing, and that there is no ‘WADA test’ for supplements.

The association does not permit accredited labs to undertake analytical testing on behalf of supplement companies. n

The machine offers the ability to produce sausages of precise length, diameter and weight while utilising conventional type linking chains. It is available in several formats to fit production needs. All production data stored in the programme, and is easily accessed. Routine maintenance and repairs are quickly performed due to the simple, rugged construction of the cabinet. Where ever possible, readily available components are utilised to keep your cost of ownership low.

VANTA:

rotAry hot-Melt lABellers

G u a n g z h o u Va n t a P a c k i n g Machinery has brought in a rotary hot-melt labeller for wrap-around film labels for display at ProPak Asia.

Suitable for use on cylindrical containers and shaped containers alike, the machine comes with automatic speed control, film selfaligning system and label length control system as well.

Containers are transferred to the main carousel by in-feed screws and star wheels, enabling the containers to rotate when labelling. Glue is applied on the leading and end edge via a glue roller.

MAREL: Portion

Cutter

Marel Food Systems’ I-Cut 22 is a dual-lane portion cutter designed to meet the needs of food processing companies. It uses a servomotor-driven knife in each lane and a rapid-response laser-scanning system to maintain accuracy – and still provide up to 1500 strokes/ minute per knife per lane.

The portion cutter’s knife can also be set back and forth between different angles in seconds. This makes it easier to achieve the natural look on products such as fixed weight chicken breasts.

AZO:

AutoMAtiC delivery

Fully automated systems from AZO can handle both liquid and powder formulations. Upon adding the ingredients, the system will then compute the amount added to the system. This reduces labour intensity and room for human error as everything is set into the system.

AZO has delivery systems for four different sectors. They are the pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foodstuffs and plastics sector. Christian Krolle, MD of the company believes that his system will “take the responsibility off the workers, reducing human error. At the same time, the use of our delivery system will increase product quality and safety.”
