How lack of balance can doom innovation efforts

86% Consumers under 45 years of age willing to pay more for sustainable packaging (SOURCE: TRIVIUM PACKAGING)

othing dampens the spirit of innovation like consumer indifference, ridicule or outright scepticism and hostility. Many of us will remember when PepsiCo launched a compostable bag for its popular SunChips back in 2010—only to be blasted online and across social media for the allegedly excessive noise these bags made while being handled. As fickle and capricious that reaction was, it speaks volumes about the importance of getting consumers on-board when developing new packaging solutions, and having the fortitude to stand up to consumer resentment through focused consumer education and engagement when it runs counter to science and common sense. As such, not every invention automatically transforms into innovation when there is no audience or appetite for it, especially at a time when sustainability has become the prime force behind much of new packaging development. According to a study from global marketing agency Lux Research, Inc., packaging designers, consultants and suppliers have a much better chance of their new packaging being embraced in the marketplace if they follow a holistic design strategy that accounts for three critical intertwined elements that will ultimately determine its success. According to the Lux Research’s new e-book, fittingly titled Finding the Sweet Spot of Packaging Innovation, these three elements include: • Technological Development, focusing on achieving a balance in packaging performance, cost, processing, and end-of-life (EoL) considerations, whereby the goal is to make packaging more sustainable without sacrificing effectiveness.. • Global Regulations: Taxes, extended producer responsibility schemes, labeling requirements, or bans on specific items or chemical formulations can drive development and adoption of new technologies and materials, embedding innovative solutions into corporate strategies. • Consumer Acceptance: Because it’s not enough for a product to be well-designed or technologically advanced to be automatically accepted and adopted by consumer, brands need to keep consumer preference
CANADIANPACKAGING · January/February 2024
and perceptions at the forefront of their decision-making process. “A successful sustainable packaging strategy lies in finding the intersection— or sweet spot—where these three elements overlap, but this sweet spot can be elusive,” the study states. “If one or more of these elements isn’t sufficiently developed, the sweet spot may be too small or nonexistent, making it hard to find a viable solution.” Among the three variables mentioned above, consumer acceptance is by far the most unpredictable element, more prone to wide swings and kneejerk reactions than sound science and empirical evidence. One disturbing fallout of widening consumer cynicism has been the entrenchment of the anti-plastic agenda amongst regulators and the public alike, with little regard for the unintended negative consequences. “This anti-plastic sentiment is significant for companies to understand and align with,” Lux Research states. “Consumers believe plastic is unsustainable because it’s too complicated to recycle effectively. “They perceive paper as simpler and compostable, glass as easily recyclable and reusable, especially if aesthetically pleasing, and aluminum as having a more reliable recycling history,” the report’s authors point out. Alas, this simplistic view overlooks the high energy usage and carbon emissions associated with glass packaging, as well as various limitations in durability and application for recycled aluminum. “If consumers were fully embracing aluminum, glass, or paper, consensus would be mainstream and a transition away from plastic would be straightforward,” the report says. “But they’re not embracing them because plastic serves many practical purposes for consumers that alternatives can’t match. “The convenience and functionality of plastic in products like squeeze bottles are unmatched by aluminum tubes or glass bottles with multiple components.” When it comes to sustainable packaging innovation, having your cake and eating is rarely on the menu.

New wine brands reflecting consumer trends towards alcohol moderation
hol wine brands to cater to consumers’ evolving drinking habits. According to Arterra Wines, the new products will initially debut at The Wine Rack stores, also owned and operated by Arterra, before being gradually introduced across the country throughout 2024. The company says the launch is part of its evolving strategic approach to diversify its offerings to reflect many consumers’ evolving relationships with alcohol.
Alcohol moderation is trending and continuing to grow in Canada with no- and less-alcohol wine sales expected to grow by 21 per cent and 24 per cent respectively, according to global research company Wine Intelligence. With that in mind, Canada’s leading wine producer Arterra Wines Canada, is getting right on top of many New Year resolutions with the launch of two new less- and no-alco-

It also builds on the success of Arterra’s existing moderation brands such as BASK low-sugar wines, which have experienced dramatic growth since launching in 2020. “The sober-curious or moderation-minded consumers now have more great-tasting wine options,” says Arterra Wines Canada’s president and chief executive officer John Boynton. “Innovation goes hand in hand with leadership and we know from experience that there’s a thirst for moderation options,” Boynton states. “We’re building on the success of our existing offerings in this category and are confident that expanding our less- and no-alcohol wines supports those consumers and their own goals for balance and moderation,” says Boynton, citing the two new offerings that include: • Sidney, the newest brand in Arterra’s portfolio featuring three less-alcohol wines with seven-percent alcohol content—compared to the typical 11- to 13-percent range—in Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio and Rosé varieties. • The no-alcohol HeavenSent sparkling rosé, a new sub-brand of the popular Saintly wine label that has become one of the fastest-growing wine brands in Canada among the younger Millennial and Gen Z age groups. While the brands will have limited in-store availability initially, they but can be purchased with same-day delivery online at through at the www.thewinerack.com website.

Bestselling cookie brand goes full-on interstellar with space-themed launch
Having conquered the world, the iconic OREO cookie brand is literally reaching out into space with a limited-time launch of OREO Space Dunk cookies. Launched in mid-February, the new cookies feature five different galactic design cut-outs and an ‘interstellar” stuffing made of layers of blue and magenta “cosmic crème” with a marshmallow flavor, further infused with popping candies that create a supernova-like bursting sensation with each bite. “With over 110 years of history, OREO continues to show up in cultural moments and give fans new, unexpected ways to live our brand purpose and stay playful”, says OREO brand manager Lexie Lubov. “That’s why we’re launching a first-of-its kind OREO cookie that not only gives Canadians a ‘taste’ of space, but also comes with a chance to experience Zero Gravity.”
According to brand-owner Mondelēz International, Inc., OREO cookie fans in Canada can enter for a chance to win the Zero Gravity Experience, as well as instant OREO-branded space-themed prizes online either at www. OREOLIFTOFF.ca, or by scanning the QR (quick reponse) code on each OREO Space Dunk package, designed by global branding and packaging design agency Bulletproof. To ensure a memorable
product launch, the company actually sent one of its packs on a journey to space 120,000 feet above the Earth, filming the extraordinary footage and posting it on the product website. Says Lebov: “To give OREO cookie fans in Canada a similar weightlessness experience, they will have the chance to win a once in a lifetime Zero Gravity Experience with Zero-G, where they can float, flip and soar as if they are in space. According to Mondelēz, OREO is the world’s favourite cookie, available in more than 100 countries around the globe. With over billion OREO cookies are sold each year—with more than 20 million in the U.S. alone—it is estimated that more than 500 billion OREO cookies have been sold worldwide since the first OREO biscuit was developed in 1912.
Iconic whisky brand gets wiser with age
Legendary Canadian whisky brand J.P. Wiser’s is always raising the bar. With a legacy spanning over 165 years, the iconic product has been a leader in the Canadian whisky category since its inception, thanks to its intricate distilling process, smooth style, and unparallelled cocktail creations. And now it’s charging forward with a transformation that celebrates its Canadian heritage, while giving it a bold new look. Created by international design agency JDO, the new look exudes simplicity and confidence with an updated logo that features modern typography and a color palette paying homage to the brand’s industrial origins to project boldness and authenticity.

Celebrating its 6oth anniversary this year, leading Canadian paper and tissue product group Cascades Inc. of Kingsey Falls, Que., has been named to the Global 100 most sustainable corporations list— complied annually by the Torontobased media, research and financial information company Corporate Knights—for the fifth year in a row. Ranking 38th overall globally, Cascades retained its leading position in the Containers and Packaging sector of the rankings, which are based on 25 performance indicators used to evaluate a total of 6,733 companies with annual revenues of over $1 billion. According to Corporate Knights, Cascades achieved its high ranking in large part on the basis of the high percentage of sustainable revenue attributable to products made from recycled or certified fibers; its high percentage of sustainable investments, namely capital investment expenditures and R&D investments; and progressive governance elements such as gender diversity on the Board of Directors and executive compensation tied to the achievement of sustainability objectives. “We are pleased to start our 60th anniversary year with this recognition,” says Cascades president and chief executive officer Mario Plourde. “Looking back over the last six decades, we celebrate the rich legacy of our founders, the Lemaire brothers, who inspired a vision and approach that set us apart environmentally and socially,” Plourde states. “Every day, our business decisions and our teams embody these core values of respect for natural and human resources, which we uphold through our decisions and actions.”

Touting environmental benefits of the aseptic filling process By Matt Hale
O
ver the last decade or so, the benefits of aseptic filling technology compared to traditional hot-filling techniques have become well known in the food and drink sector. While the benefits in terms of product quality have been well documented and discussed, environmental benefits, both in terms of energy consumption and typical life cycle analysis of this packaging method, are less understood. A number of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) studies have shown that aseptic filling techniques using ultra heat treatment (UHT) systems of pasteurization or sterilization, which are based on heat exchangers, generally have lower environmental impacts. This is down to two main factors: the packaging used in the two different processes and the energy footprint of the process itself. The thermal processing of food and drink products, and the production of the relevant packaging, have significant environmental impacts. Despite this, however, there have been few studies looking at the energy footprint and other environmental impacts of these processes. Aseptic filling provides robust product quality, minimal thermal impact on the beverage, and greater bottle design flexibility with the ability to use lighter-weight PET (polyethylene terephtalate) bottles or cartons. In contrast, hot filling requires a higher energy requirement, has a thermal impact on the beverage itself, and has less flexibility of bottle design than aseptic filling. In an aseptic (cold fill) system, the product is pasteurized or sterilized using UHT systems and then cooled immediately. It is then placed in the packaging which has either been pre-sterilized or, sometimes, sterilized at filling. Heat exchangers are generally used for both the heating and cooling processes, enabling very efficient heat transfer and the use of heat regeneration to minimize the overall energy requirement. In these situations,‘considerable energy is saved by using the hot product’s heat to pre-heat the cold one, and vice versa.

The use of heat exchangers for pasteurization and cooling as part of aseptic filling provides significant energy savings.
Orange juice produced via aseptic filling has a lower greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint than that produced with hot-filling techniques.
CANADIANPACKAGING · January/February 2024
In a hot-filling system, the product is pasteurized or sterilized using heat exchangers or other thermal technologies). The packaging is then filled at a high temperature—typically between 80°C and 92°C—which has the result of sterilizing the packaging. The packaging is then tilted or agitated to ensure complete contact with the hot product and the temperature is maintained for a specified period, such as two minutes. After this the packing and the product are cooled. How this is done, and how soon after filling the process is carried out, depend on the product and the packaging. Typical methods include blast tunnels, falling water coolers or even cold storage. While the initial capital investment in an aseptic system is often higher than for a comparable hot-fill system, aseptic systems have lower daily operational costs—including reduced energy usage—and allow for the use of lighter-weight PET bottles. As a result, the total cost of ownership (TOC) of an aseptic system is lower than for a ho- fill system. In practice there are many different types of packaging used in both systems, although in general terms board-based cartons and light-weight PET bottles are used with aseptic systems, while hot-fill machines are associated with heavier PET bottles, glass, or cans. In an effort to accurately compare the environmental impact of both systems, some researchers compared aseptic and hot-fill systems based on the production of 500-ml PET plastic bottles of orange juice.
Because a thicker gauge of plastic bottle is required to withstand the higher temperatures in hot filling systems, more plastic is used (in this example 24 grams for hot filling versus 16 grams for aseptic filling). As a result, the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the packaging are 80.4 g CO2 per bottle for the hot fill process, compared to 61.8 g CO2 per bottle for aseptic filling – a saving of 23.1 per cent. The difference in energy consumption between the two systems due to different heat treatment, filling and cooling methods has often been ignored by researchers. Some of the benefits are less clear cut than may be supposed and vary according to the heating medium source (such as steam), as well as the electrical and compressed air consumption of different system components. However, using heat exchangers with energy recovery provides significant energy savings. Using the same 500-ml PET bottles of orange juice example above, GHG emissions associated with energy consumption by the process were 31.6 grams of CO2 per bottle for the hot-fill process compared to 24.4 grams of CO2 per bottle for aseptic filling – a saving of 5.32 per cent. While this may seem like a fairly insignificant amount, when applied up to a theoretical production of 250 million bottles per year it represents annual savings of more than 1,500 metric tons of CO2. Based on our experience of thermal processing systems around the world, at HRS Heat Exchangers we believe that the GHG impacts of hot filling technology are in fact higher than this. As energy prices around the globe rise rapidly, and the need to act on climate change intensifies, more and more food and drink manufacturers are looking to reduce the energy costs of their production processes. Switching from hot-fill to aseptic production lines is becoming an increasingly attractive proposition, while for the brand new lines, the arguments for adopting aseptic techniques are becoming more clear with each passing day.

he ability to think outside the box can be an exceptionally powerful competence and competitive advantage in the packaging machinery business—especially when it results in a much better box. Founded in 1973 in Minneapolis, Minn., family-owned endof-line packaging equipment manufacturer Delkor Systems has enjoyed a remarkable period of brisk growth and expansion in recent years by leveraging its expertise in robotics and automation technologies to not only provide world-class robotic corrugated case and paperboard carton packaging lines, palletizing and other related packaging equipment for its CPG industry customers, but also set new retail industry benchmarks for shelf-ready pack-
aging excellence and sustainability. Nowadays employing about 350 people at a state-of-the-art, 300,000square-foot manufacturing complex located nearby the main bridge connecting Minneapolis with its Twin City of St. Paul, the company’s relentless rise to industry prominence began in earnest in 1999 when its former sales manager Dale Andersen purchased the company from its original founder Jim Duddleston, himself a notable packaging pioneer credited with inventing one of the first machines for packaging liquid milk in paperboard cartons. A graduate of the University of Minnesota with a B.S. in Food Science and Technology, along with an MBA from the Carlson School of Management, Andersen’s thorough knowledge of the company and its key customers— CANADIANPACKAGING.COM
acquired in his 12 previous years as a Delkor employee—were an exceptionally useful asset in transitioning the company from a standard “brown box” cartoning machine-builder into an innovation-driven, high-tech manufacturing powerhouse focused on providing complete automated packaging solutions for clients demanding maximum shelf impact for their brands. “The one key thing I learned during those early years was just how important packaging design is to a successful machinery solution,” Andersen told the Canadian Packaging magazine in a recent interview. “Making package design an integral part of the entire circle of responsibility is what makes Delkor different from much of our competition,” says Andersen, citing the company’s on-site Package Lab packaging design center equipped with state-of-the-art package prototyping and testing equipment. “We’re one of the few OEMs, maybe the only OEM making case-packers and carton equipment that has a dedicated packaging lab and packaging engineers on staff,” says Andersen, adding the company employs 50 full-time engineers across its operations. “It’s a value-added service that we provide free of charge to our customers,” he says, “because we believe it’s critical for us to be able to work with the customer on the package design. Says Andersen: “We are very focused on innovation and are willing to spend the money to have the right team in place to provide valuable innovation in terms of packaging designs, machinery designs, and the way they come together on the packaging lines. “We can do a design turnaround in 24 hours,” he relates, “and we often have customers come here to see us test the designs, validate them, and see how they work on the machine. “We know what designs work best with our equipment,” says Andersen, “and being able to test them on our machines internally is an amazingly powerful capability. “So instead of taking months going back and forth with corrugated companies testing different designs to suit the application, we can quickly provide our customers with innovative solutions that streamline the customer’s usage of packaging materials and making their packaging process more efficient. “We also understand what the mass merchandisers are looking for,” says Andersen,” citing relentless pressures by leading mass merchandisers and Club Store operators across North America to make their vendors supply more of their products in efficient and attractive retail-ready packaging and shelf displays CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

As Andersen points out, Cabrio Case packaging allows users to save an average of 20 per cent per box in material costs compare to other retail-ready designs while helping them improve their packaging sustainability profile. “It provides a tremendous reduction in the use of corrugated,” he extols, “and you can only imagine what it means in terms of sustainability.” Notably, the use of the Cabrio Case design is offered to customers for free with the purchase of a Delkor case-packer, says Andersen, as one of the many value-added features used to market the company’s high-end equipment. According to Andersen, the introduction of the Cabrio Case and other innovative packaging to the market will hasten the end of the CPG industry’s long-standing reliance on using the standard RSC CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

(regular slotted case) boxes for their secondary packaging needs. “The RSC box was originally invented by corrugated companies about 60 to 70 years ago as a pop-open box designed specifically for manual hand-loading of packaged products into a brown box—it was never intended for automation,” he states. “The RSC box doesn’t really fit into the plan for a highly efficient and sustainable solution for corrugated packaging,” says Andersen, adding that automating secondary packaging lines simply to run RSC boxes faster dilutes the efficiency and productivity benefits that automation is expected to deliver. “When we first developed the Cabrio case, we saw there was a lot of so-called retail-ready packaging out there that were really just RSC cases with tearaway
perforations,” he recalls, “and it just looked terrible on the shelf with the bits of torn corrugated debris messing up the shelves, terrible graphics and generally poor product presentation. “Also, using robots to top-load RSC cases present a lot of problems because there is a lot of dimensional variance between the RSC cases themselves, just because of the way they are made,” Andersen adds. “Because it is not a precision process, you may have up to a quarter-inch variation from box to box, which really doesn’t work well with robots.” In contrast, the robotic loading of precision-cut Cabrio Cases on Delkor case-packing equipment results in highly repeatable, high-efficiency, high-speed loading process with exact product placement and great shelf impact at the point of sale, Andersen contends. “I predict that five years from now there will be very few large and mediumsized companies using RSC boxes,” he proclaims. “You will probably see some small companies using it simply because they may not yet have the money for automation,” he allows, “but we are seeing a huge trend in the market towards widespread replacement of the RSC box.” As Andersen explains, the widespread use of robotic technologies across all of Delkor’s machinery product lines has also enabled the company’s engineers to significantly reduce the changeover times on Delkor machinery—making it a highly attractive capital investment proposition for busy high-volume packaging lines across a fast-growing swath of CPG industries. For companies serving multiple Club Store and other large retailers, the quick changeover capability is a priceless asset, Andersen asserts. “There are probably close to 20 different designs of Clubs Store retail-ready packaging used by Walmart, Costco, Sam’s Club and other mass merchandisers,” Andersen explains, “and being able to switch from one to another within minutes, without any human intervention, is a big part of the efficiency equation. “We spent about three to four years developing a new approach to how you design a packaging line,” he relates, “which resulted in the launch of new patented case forming technology that enables producers to switch from one shipper [box] style to another in under three minutes,” he states. “That three minutes for the case former and eight minutes for the entire line,” he enthuses. “There is no other machine in the world I’m aware of that has this capability. “That innovation alone has enabled Delkor to more than double its sales over

Says Andersen: “We will be running our Trayfecta G corrugated case former and our Model 350 corrugated case closer and demonstrate the ability to change over to any shipper style—including brown boxes, retail-ready formats, and the full range of Club Store trays—in just three minutes.” As Andersen relates, Delkor Systems has already completed 10 different packaging line installations for Cabrio Case packaging at some of Canada’s largest CPG manufacturers—including the country’s leading confectionery and cheese producers—and the overwhelmingly positive feedback from those Canadian customers to date has been exceptionally encouraging. The continuous improvement and refinement of leading-edge technologies is firmly embedded in the company’s culture, according to Andersen, because it enables Delkor to respond faster to the ever-growing packaging changes upgrades that major retailers demand from their vendors.

“All mass merchandisers compete with each other via their packaging,” he says, “so accommodating any changes to that packaging in timely manner is critical. “Whatever the market wants today, it will be different next year,” Andersen declares. “For us, that means having a flexible machinery design that can handle all the different shapes, sizes and product diversity of whatever the cusCANADIANPACKAGING.COM

Nowadays manufacturing about 300 machines per year, Delkor’s key product lines include: • The Trayfecta series automatic case-forming machinery; • Several brands of automated and robotized case-packing equipment, including LSP, MSP and V series machines; • Various carton and case closing machines for tri-seal and flange seal cases, cartons, stackable club store trays and retail-ready packages; • Robotic palletizers incorporating FANUC brand palletizing robots. As Andersen estimates, “About 60 per cent of all the machines we make are intended for processing flexible packaging, with the reminder for rigid packaging formats. “Our machines can work with glass bottles, flexible plastic pouches and bags, large-sized industrial bag weighing up to 10 kilograms … pretty much the whole gamut of product shapes and sizes,” says Andersen, adding all Delkor equipment installations are looked after by the company’s highly skilled field service technicians. “Our field service department reports directly to me,” Andersen states. “These people are given a very high profile because they interact with our customers every day. “Every machinery solution we supply to the market has our total technical support because that is the best way to establish ourselves as a real partner to our customers,” he concludes. “And our customers really appreciate that partnership as a critical factor for the efficient operation of their packaging line for many years to come after the initial installation.”

ften touted as one of humanity’s greatest technological achievements since invention of the wheel, the printing press has undergone countless redesigns, upgrades and refinements since Johannes Gutenberg first developed the original mechanical device for transferring large quantities of ink onto paper in the middle of 15th Century. And while the novelty of that breakthrough invention may have worn off somewhat with the passage of time, its contribution to the development and enrichment of the modern consumer society and commerce cannot be overstated. With modern printing technology making printing more affordable and
accessible than ever before, printing companies are often spoiled for choice nowadays when it comes to investing in the latest print technologies to keep their businesses running. However, making that choice has become a fairly straightforward decision in recent years for the privately-owned Canadian folding carton producer Beneco Packaging, whose familiarity and comfort with the offset printing presses made by German-based manufacturer Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) is handsomely paying off with brisk continuous growth in business volumes and client base. Founded in 2004 by company president Carol Jiang, the company’s remarkable rise through the ranks of the Canadian paperboard industry has gone hand-in-hand with its considerable CANADIANPACKAGING.COM
capital investment in Heidelberg offset printing press technology, including a late 2023 installation of a brand new Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 106 six-color printing press at Beneco’s new folding carton production facility in Cobourg, Ont. Acquired less than two years ago, the sprawling 600,000-square-foot building that once housed food processing lines for the likes of Kraft and General Foods is now home to two state-of-theart Heidelberg printing presses—including the Speedmaster CX 104 seven-color press installed about a year ago—with plenty of room to accommodate more in the future. “Beneco has been a long-time customer, and it’s been a privilege for me to deal with them,” says Steve Thomson, senior account representative at Heidelberg Canada Graphic Equipment Limited in Mississauga, Ont. “It’s a very valued relationship,” says Thomson, citing Beneco’s proactive approach to making timely and far-sighted major capital investment decisions to support its growth. “They have really embraced technology, which is a necessity in today’s market,” says Thomson. “If you don’t embrace technology, you get left behind.” Says Thomson: “Printing today is very much like manufacturing—it’s all about getting the highest number of printed sellable sheets on the floor in the shortest amount of time.” With throughput rates of 18,000 sheets per hour, the new Speedmaster XL 106 is a remarkably befitting companion to the Speedmaster CX 104 press installed a Cobourg a year earlier, which has throughput capacity of 16,500 sheets per hour. Between the two presses, the Cobourg plant can execute more print runs with a much broader range of run quantities and design complexities with minimal downtime for job changeovers, according to Beneco’s director of sales Jim Wickware. “What drives Beneco’s growth is the desire to be one of the most efficient folding carton producers in Canada,” says Wickware, who joined Beneco a little over five years ago. “Our owner Carol Jiang has built a wonderful environment here, with everybody on the same page both in Cobourg and at the company’s headquarters facility in Scarborough (Toronto),” says Wickware, pointing out the relatively short time-frame in which the once-mothballed Cobourg facility, which lay dormant for about three years, has been transformed into a modern, state-of-theart printing plant housing world-class printing and converting equipment. “Our team has done a wonderful job CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

For Beneco’s production manager Shyam Sasidharan, adding a second Speedmaster to the Cobourg plant was an eagerly anticipated milestone moment for the plant, allowing for an unprecedented degree of production flexibility and OEE (overall equipment effectiveness). “We have crews of very well-trained multiple operators for each machine who know the presses inside out,” says Sasidharan, who joined Beneco about six years ago. “They are really experienced operators, many of them with over 10 years of experience running printing presses, and all the new operators joining our facility get several days of training with Heidelberg experts to learn the technologies and all the technological updates on these presses. “It’s all part of our on-boarding process,” says Sasidharan, noting that the plant’s Speedmaster CX 104 press installed a year ago has been found to be the highest-performing Heidelberg press anywhere in the world, according to the “real time” production data and analytics compiled by Heidelberg. “These two presses feature the most advanced technology out in the market right now,” says Sasidharan, noting that choosing to go with Heidelberg again was not a hasty slam-dunk decision. “We actually evaluated four different press options for the plant,” he recalls, “and the Speedmaster was selected purely on merit and on the basis of its advanced production capabilities that will help the Cobourg plant achieve its full capacity and potential. “We were also really impressed with the level of service and technical support Heidelberg offered us with first press (Speedmaster CX 104) we had,” 26

(Bottom) Mark Blyth, Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, Brown University.
• Corporate Social Responsibility; • Food Safety & Compliance; • Seafood Business & Leadership; • Seafood Sustainability. Notably, the Conference Program will kick off on the first day of the show with a keynote address delivered by a leading political economist Mike Blyth, professor at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University in Providence, R.I. Renowned for making complex topics understandable and refreshingly entertaining, Blyth energizes audiences with his sharp Scottish wit and brilliant insights into what’s to come. Professor Blyth’s ability to break down and clarify complex issues has made him a popular choice for investor conferences, trade associations, client conferences, executive briefings or any group looking to gain a better understanding of the intertwined future of the economy and politics. Acclaimed for his bold prediction that Europe’s turn to austerity would end badly (it did) and then predicting (very early) both Donald Trump’s victory and Brexit, Brown University professor Mark Blyth continues to pinpoint the key forces that shape our economic futures. These days two things most concern Blyth. The first is inflation—unlike most of us, he does not think that it’s going away anytime soon. Most of the forces that pushed inflation down for a generation, such as globalizing labor markets and favorable demographics are in retreat. This is compounded by climate change, which will stress agricultural and energy supply chains going forward. His forthcoming book, Inflation: A Guide for Losers and Users, frames inflation as a problem of who is going to pay for it and who benefits from it. The answers are surprising and matter to us all. The second thing that concerns Blyth is decarbonization. Specifically, how shifting away from fossil fuels over the next decade will upend our politics, challenge global political alignments, and alter the risk and return profile of entire industries. Far from being a fan of tweaking things with ESG scores and similar “greenwashing” techniques, Blyth argues that serious decarbonization is about to switch into high gear, creating massive numbers of new winners and new losers. If you want to find out what “going green” means for you and your company, you owe it to yourself to take in Professor Blyth’s keynote address.

NINE SIMPLE RULES Selecting monitoring controls to protect your production machinery ince electricity powers the wide majority of industrial and infrastructure equipment, it is becoming more important to ensure that this incoming power does not damage the equipment it’s meant to power. Besides monitoring DC signals, one-phase AC signals, or the three-phase AC mains voltage entering into a building or a room, monitoring of the equipment or machinery within the building is just as important. Machine and equipment monitoring devices detect abnormalities in the incoming power, and permit preventative actions to be taken to protect equipment before any serious damage can occur. Here are nine helpful tips on selecting the proper monitoring device for your machinery.
S
1. Know What to Monitor
Machinery monitoring devices and relays provide a multitude of preventative options. You’ll want to select a relay or device that is capable of monitoring the most critical aspects of the supplied power for your application. Monitoring relays are designed for voltage, current, frequency, three-phase power, power factor, or temperature. For each relay type, you’ll want a clear delineation of the acceptable tolerances and measurement parameters for your application.
2. Phase Factor
Many types of heavy industrial equipment rely on 3-phase power. Inconsistencies or anomalies in this power quality can cause disastrous damage to machinery or equipment. Inconsistencies in the three-phase power can include phase loss, improper phase sequence, and/ or an imbalance between the three phases. Many of these situations can be averted through the use of a three-phase monitoring relay. If a motor operating on three-phase power were to suddenly receive two phases out of sequence, it will reverse direction. This not only poses a threat of damage to the motor, but it could also pose a safety risk in applications such as elevators, moving walkways or conveying equipment. Losing one of the three phases of incoming power can render a motor unable to operate, or force it to operate at a lower efficiency rating. In addition to decreased performance, the latter mentioned consequence can lead to heat generation within the motor, which shortens component life. A similar result can occur if all phases are present, but one or more of the phases is underpowered because one-phase
loads are drawing power unequally on one or more of the three phases.
3. Voltage Verification Essential
Powering devices, such as motors, on a voltage that is lower than specified causes the load to draw more current. This then leads to inefficiencies and excessive heat that will lead to shortened component life. Overvoltage can also cause component stress, resulting to permanent damage of some parts. Voltage monitoring relays can handle anywhere from a low millivolt range up to several hundred volts. There are, however, versions that monitor under and/or overvoltage, some offering adjustable hysteresis and time delays. Voltage relays for DC voltage are often used to monitor back-up battery status, such as those found on generator sets or solar power systems. Relays designed for one-phase AC work well for motors, which could possibly be used in a variety of countries, where different supply voltages are present and/or in areas where voltage fluctuates, causing brownouts and/or voltage surges.
4. Keeping Current
Current can be used as an indication of proper machine function. Equipment that suddenly starts drawing more current might be experiencing a voltage imbalance, an impending bearing failure, or a number of other issues. Current monitoring relays help detect these variances, allowing for action to be taken before equipment damage occurs. Low-current AC or DC inputs can be directly connected to most monitoring relays, and AC currents up to 100 A can be monitored by some modules directly. However, higher currents need to be monitored through a shunt or current transformer. Power monitoring relays can also detect variations in the power consumption of various loads. Depending on the relay, you can detect and react to load excess or absence, motor load variation, and motor direction.
5. Compact Current Monitoring
In addition to DIN rail mount or plug-in monitoring relays, some manufacturers of these protective devices have integrated monitoring relays with current transformers, creating an all-in-one solution. They typically provide a relay, transistor, or analog output, with some even requiring no supply voltage. The current monitoring device with
integrated current transformer is an innovative concept which allows you to run the wire carrying the AC current right through the device’s throughhole, therefore simplifying installation and minimizing wire connections.
6. Tackling Temperature
Knowing the temperature of your equipment can help prevent equipment downtime or even fire. Temperature monitoring relays use PTC thermistors, mounted in motors, whose resistance increases with rising motor temperature. They are capable of monitoring the temperature of up to six motors or motor windings simultaneously, and can be used to shut down motors during overheating, thereby preventing damage to the motor.
7. Flexibility is Key
With monitoring relays, you can set up the device to immediately interrupt power to the equipment, similar to the operation of a fuse. More commonly, the monitoring relay signals a shutdown relay that is applied to safely power down the equipment. If minor variations of voltage, current, or frequency are tolerable, you can utilize a monitoring relay with adjustable hysteresis and time delays. These types of relays can prevent nuisance tripping in the instance of occasional sags or spikes in the incoming power, but the choice is ultimately up to you.
8. Preventative Protection
Many design engineers look at machine monitoring relays like an insurance policy. Some higher efficiency industrial motors can cost thousands of dollars, whereas monitoring relays typically cost from a few hundred dollars, usually one-tenth of the equipment cost. When considering the initial cost, remember that machine monitoring relays can protect machinery and help reduce the cost of both downtime and damaged products, which in turn provides immediate payback. To get that extra peace of mind, always specify and select relays with approvals like UL or CE appropriate for your application.
9. Get Help
For more help in selecting machine monitoring relays, turn to automation experts such as Carlo Gavazzi, who have extensive product literature and selector guides on their websites to help you get the right product. They also have international distribution and experienced personnel who can assist you by email, phone, Skype or in person.

9 drop quality at 7 drop speeds; Designed for even the most demanding applications, meet the new generation in precision ink drop technology The key to the D-Series flexibility is a smaller i-Tech scan head, connected to the laser tube on a multi-position mount. The head can be rotated through 90 degree steps to allow for many mounting positions, and because it is so much smaller, it can easily fit where bigger lasers cannot. Increased power and speed, combined with an optional IP65-rated version, result in the D620i laser, that is equal to the most demanding applications and environments. RapidScan makes our lasers 20% faster for high-speed applications than other scribing lasers. Domino’s i-Tech Ribbon Drive offers 4 ribbon save settings including ‘Economy Mode’ which allows you to use up to 60% less ribbon per print - without affecting print quality. The V230i prints high resolution codes, text and images onto flexible foils, films and labels. Unlike other thermal transfer coders, the V230i uses intelligent Technology to meet all your general purpose coding needs while keeping your costs as low as possible. The i-Tech Ribbon Drive uses up to 60% less ribbon With the largest ribbon rolls in the industry and unique ribbon save features, the V320i also delivers the lowest cost of ownership of all thermal transfer printers.

Multiple Entry and Exit Spiral Conveyors
We also make a full line of Bucket Elevators for your bulk material conveying needs.
Allows loads to enter or exit the High Capacity Spirals and Wide Trak Spirals at intermediate elevations. This is a perfect application for multi-level warehousing and order picking operations. Loads can enter or exit the spirals at multiple elevations. This concept is also commonly used in applications where a single spiral is utilized for multiple production or packaging lines.
The High Capacity Spiral can handle double the capacity of our regular spirals. They ship in one piece which drastically reduce the time and cost of installation. They are ideally suited for warehousing and order picking operations There are many features. benefits and options to the Ryson Spiral Conveyors.
Convey bulk material horizontal and Vertical Continuous Vertical Flow for cartons, cases, trays, totes and all sorts of packaged goods A new super-compact vertical conveyor for handling small loads
Each spiral is built to exact customer specifications, and can even be field modified if needed - thanks to our proprietary modular design. These spirals can handle a variety of load sizes, big and small with their 30” or 36” wide slats. The Wide Trak Spiral Conveyor can handle double the weight capacity of our standard spirals, and can provide an elevation change of up to 35 feet with only one drive Induction or Divert out ancillary motorized conveyor included
The Narrow Trak Spirals offer a significantly larger elevation change capacity than what is currently available in the small package marketplace. They are also a good alternative to side gripper conveyors because they can run at high speeds and do not need to be adjusted for varying product sizes. The load capacity is 75 lbs. per linear foot of conveyor for speeds up to 200 FPM. The total weight capacity in the spiral at any one time is 3600 lbs
Gentle handling, fully enclosed, custom inputs and outputs, individual tipping buckets Small Footprint, Energy Saving, Low Maintenance
Features
Whether you are handling cases, trays and packs or bottles and cans in mass or a single file we can help. Ryson Spirals need less floor space than conventional conveyors and are faster and more reliable than any elevator or lift.

Robatech launches product Line for simple hot melt applications
obatech is expanding its range with the EasyLine products. With this new addition, Robatech is providing a small, practical adhesive application system for simple hot melt applications that is easy to operate and maintain. EasyLine allows thermoplastic hot-melt adhesives to be applied in proven Robatech quality. The new EasyLine products featuring the new Easy adhesive melter, the Rio heated hose and the Twist jetting head, are now being offered by Robatech. The handy, compact application system can be used to easily and securely glue trays, folding boxes, paper cups, paper sleeves for ice cream cones or similar products.
R
EASY OPERATION, INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING AND MAINTENANCE “The maximum melting capacity of 2.5 kg/h and two heated hose connections offer perfect conditions for simple adhesive applications,” says André Laubacher,
CANADIANPACKAGING.COM
responsible product manager at Robatech. “Customers enjoy the functionalities they really need and benefit from fast commissioning and maintenance, as well as an attractive price-performance ratio.” • EasyLine can be quickly connected via plug-and play connectors. • With a head holder adjustable in 22.5° increments and the variable positioning of the application nozzles, the compact Twist jetting head can be easily and flexibly installed in machines. • The adhesive filter is now located in the heated hose’s fully insulated connector, where it can be easily replaced. The application head remains clean, and time-consuming removal and installation are no longer necessary. • With manual pump pressure control, temperature lowering and heating zone management for the adhesive melter, heated hoses and application heads, the EasyLine offers all the necessary functions for simple adhesive applications.
In the EasyLine, Robatech combines functional minimalism with practical, new features. Weighing 16 kg, the Easy adhesive melter is also one of the lightest adhesive melters available. https://easyline.robatech.com

Since 1975, Robatech has been developing and producing high-quality control systems, application heads, melters, and dosing systems that make gluing processes more environmentally friendly, safe, and straightforward.

Little things make big difference on sustainability journey / Jeff May

anufacturers, retail stores and big brands are all under immense pressure to provide more sustainable products and packaging that fit in with the Circular Economy concept. The bigger the brand, the bigger the pressure and the public expectation for brands to behave in an eco-friendly way, with sustainability in mind. At the same time, new start-ups and smaller brands rely heavily on innovative, eco-aware products and packaging ideas to get the attention of consumers and potential investors. As a result, many of the everyday packaging and packaging components that were once plastic on the account of no feasible alternatives being available have been moving away from plastic to more sustainable and circular materials, challenging the notion that plastic is simply irreplaceable in certain applications.
About a year ago I noticed that my Dempster’s brand bread bags now came with a cardboard bag clip, replacing the traditional plastic tags that may in theory be recyclable, but are simply too small and lightweight to make it into the right recycling stream each and every time. According to the brand-owner Bimbo Canada, transitioning from plastic bag clips to new recyclable and compostable cardboard ones can help the company reduce its use of single-use plastic by 200 metric tonnes per year, which is the equivalent of a 10,000-kilometer stretch of plastic if these tabs were to be placed side-by-side in a straight line. Made from 100-percent recycled cardboard, the clips can be safely composted where such facilities exist or simply added to household paper recycling, and they have been thoroughly tested and validated to be just as effective as the place square tabs at room, refrigerator and freezer temperatures. So much for the tired old excuse that sustainable solutions are necessarily unaffordable or impractical: when there is a will, more often than not there is always a way. Since its relatively recent introduction to the market, Bimbo Canada has proceeded to transition all its branded bread products—including Villaggio, POM, Bon Matin, Ben’s and Stonemill—to the paper-based clips, proving once again that imitation is often the best form of flattery.

make their beer, the company proudly wears its environmental consciousness on its sleeve—the sleeve being the E6PR eco four-pack rings made from molded fiber. Developed as an alternative to the plastic six-pack yokes blamed for widespread strangulation of marine animals, in addition to being a major contributor to the ocean plastic pollution problem, these sturdy, puncture- resistant can holders provide a sustainable solution through all stages of beer distribution—from the canning line to the stores and into the consumer’s home fridge. With extensive testing confirming effective moisture resistance and holding strength at many different temperature at a cost comparable to the ring-packs, these molded-fiber sleeves are certainly a strong contender to become a commonplace sight in the emerging Circular Economy of the future. Located in St-Roch de L’Achigan, Que., potato distributor Nordany Inc. has recently phased out the use of the traditional paper-based potato sacks featuring a layer of plastic mesh in the bag’s structure to provide the potatoes inside with the necessary air-flow. While effective for that particular purpose, these strips of plastic mesh have proven to be extremely tricky to separate from the used bags for recycling purposes, leading many municipalities—including Halifax—to ban these bags from the municipal curbside programs. With the plastic mesh itself also being largely unrecyclable, switching to new-generation paper bags manufactured by Émile Sénéchal & Fils of Grand-Sault, N.B., has provided Nordany with instant payback in terms of lowering the en-
vironmental footprint of its potato packaging. The simple alternative provides the required air flow with cutout holes die-cut into the sides of the 10-pound bags, effectively removing all traces of plastic from the package. As a bonus, the window’s removal also helps to improve the overall aesthetics of the Nordany branded bags by providing a continuous canvas to display attractive graphics, product description, weight, nutritional information on both sides of the bag in uninterrupted illustrative flow. When burger chain giant A&W decided to switch to using biodegradable paper straws back in 2018, the company was admirably well ahead of the curve with an ambitious initiative aiming to prevent 82 million plastic straws from reaching landfill each year. While many jurisdictions across the country have now banned the use of single-use plastic straws, A&W deserves many kudos for being ahead of those decisions by years— leading by example and making a compelling case that life as we know it is possible without plastic straws. While some paper straws are admittedly better than others performance-wise, there is no denying their environmental appeal. Whereas a paper straw lost in the wild can biodegrade completely in about half a year or so, a plastic straw will take a virtual infinity to break down into the so-called microplastics that ultimately escape into the environment to be eaten by both land and marine wildlife—starting with the earthworms and transgressing on through vegetation and the animals that consume it. It’s a vicious cycle, and it’s about time that someone is doing something about it.
