BY KRONES

A sustainable solution The owners of Ice River Springs (IRS) love Krones for their considerable experience in processing recycled PET plastic and the high efficiency of their lines. Almost all of the blow molders in their seven bottling plants belong to the Krones Contiform series. The co-packer is also increasing its use of filling technology from the system supplier headquartered in Neutraubling. Since 2013, every new line installed at Ice River Springs has been from Krones, and most are in a block configuration. One of the latest additions to the bottler’s machinery fleet is a high-speed line with two ErgoBloc L systems at its Lachute, Quebec, plant.

From farmers to water bottlers You might say Crystal Howe’s loyalty to Ice River Springs has been instilled in her from birth. After all, she’s not only the company’s Sustainability Manager but also the daughter of Ice River Springs’ founders and owners, Jamie and Sandy Gott.

Her parents started out as farmers, raising chickens and trout in Feversham, two hours’ drive north of Toronto.

The natural spring they used as a water source for the trout farm provided a supply of high-quality water, which Jamie and Sandy initially sold in bulk to water bottlers.

As Sustainability Manager at Ice River Springs Co. and At some point, they began bottling the water themselves Blue Mountain Plastics, Crystal Howe has, of course, made on a small scale, in large HDPE containers. sustainability a top priority. But she’s not alone. The entire company shares her passion. “Our philosophy is Soon after that, Y2K loomed and an apocalyptic mood based on the three Ps: people, planet, and profit.” Howe set in, driven largely by the media especially in North firmly believes that coordinating the three Ps is crucial.

By completely reusing PET Demand for Ice River Springs water exploded. plastic in a closed loop, we’re being part of the solution.”

“My dad had the vision, and mom helped make them happen,” says Howe. They built one bottling plant after another, at first only in Canada and later in the US as well. Howe explains that Ice River Springs sold off four of its US plants in 2018, “because the market there works differently than in Canada.” The company still maintains a facility in Miami, Florida, in addition to its six plants across Canada – all of which are in close proximity to consumers to minimize transport distances.

The year 2009 was an important one for Ice River Springs as the company received a permission to use 100 percent recycled PET plastic in its water bottles.

“We were the first bottler in North America to produce food-grade recycled PET and use it to manufacture 100 percent recycled content bottles. We’re still the only one to maintain a closed loop today,” Howe says with visible pride and she adds, “We’ve done it to protect the environment. What’s special about our company is that we don’t base our decisions primarily on cost but rather on sustainability.”

Closed plastics loop Sandy and Jamie Gott tried a few different options before deciding to produce their own recycled PET. “PLA (polylactic acid) couldn’t offer the shelf life we needed, and

it gave the water an off taste. Carton-based packaging isn’t easily recyclable and has a much larger carbon footprint,” says Howe. “We then started to use recycled PET, but the quality of the pellets we were buying on the open market wasn’t very consistent from batch to batch. So, my parents decided to build their own recycling plant and produce their own rPET.” The company’s Blue Mountain Plastics plant now converts 25,000 metric tons of post-consumer PET material a year into food-grade resin pellets. Ice River Springs buys around 80 percent of the total volume of PET plastic collected by municipal recycling programs in Ontario for this purpose. Three of the company’s seven bottling plants are equipped with injection molders that turn the recycled pellets into preforms. All seven plants have Contiform blow molders that inflate the preforms into bottles. Ice River Springs also manufactures its own caps and printed shrink films, which already contain 20 percent recycled material. The company’s subsidiary C.R. Plastic Products transforms HDPE cap material, that is collected through the recycling line, into durable outdoor furniture. Every addition to the Ice River Family of Companies drives forth the belief that “there’s enough plastic in the world – we need to re-use it.”

investing in a new line, we look at all the options. But it makes sense to use the same technologies in all of our plants,” says Howe. “Once you know and understand Krones’ machines, you won’t want anything else.” The Krones Academy supports the line ramp-up phase with specialized training to continuously improve line efficiency. Ice River Springs also has a service contract with Krones.

Until recently, Ice River Springs had used one Krones/ Kosme filling line for 4-liter containers and another for 500-milliliter bottles (which included a Contiform blow molder) at their Lachute plant, west of Montreal. Since the 500-milliliter line was no longer able to keep up with increased demand, Ice River Springs has now replaced it with a twin line featuring two ErgoBloc L systems that can process a total of 108,000 containers per hour. “We The twin line handles 500-milliliter containers exclusively. don’t have a lot of space here in Lachute.

We have actually had Krones technicians comment on how well the preform processes.”

Squeezing

the most from your

orange

juice

Demandfor fruit juice amongst Malaysian consumers shows no signs of slowing down.Some estimates suggest the country is now drinking more than 150 million litres of juicedrinks a year1, with many consumers preferringthem to fizzy drinks.Not surprisingly, orange juice is the most popular variety.

Although three manufacturers account for over half the Malaysian juice market,2there is still a large market for smaller brands and niche manufacturers, with many concentrating on fresh and unpasteurised products.

Chilled productsare particularlypopular with premium customers and, likemany other manufacturersaround the world, Malaysian manufacturers can now use ‘flash pasteurisation’ in order to appeal to discerning consumers, while prolonging the life of their products.

The dash for flash With or without pulp, the challenge for manufacturers of fresh orange juice is the speed at which the flavour and quality alters and deteriorates after the orange is squeezed. Like any fruit, oranges are perishable commodities and need to bepasteurised to stop the product spoiling. If there is to be an acceptable shelf life, the juice has to be pasteurised to destroy microorganisms and stop enzymatic activity.

14

ASIA FOOD BEVERAGE THAILAND

There are various ways to delay these chemical changes.

At HRS Heat Exchangers, thermal treatment, also known as ‘flashpasteurisation’, is the preferred techniquefor making premium quality juice. “Oranges are complex fruits,” explains Matt Hale, International Sales and Marketing Director at HRS. “The flavour and quality is determined by hundreds of compounds, among them limonene, pectin methylesterase (PME), hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). What’s more, the exact composition varies according to the typ of orange, climatic conditions and ripeness when picked.”

Chemical changes begin to occur as soon asthejuice is squeezed. Some compounds react with oxygen in the air; others are affected by enzymes that are released during squeezing. With oranges containing natural yeasts, squeezing triggers fermentation which results in the multiplication of any bacteria present. Critics of pasteurisation argue that the process destroys the flavour of juice and alters the nutritional value. However, by minimising the thermal treatment time, HRS’s flash pasteurisation treatmentis assisting juice production plants to optimise juice quality and taste.

Preserving taste and quality HRS has significant experience in juice production facilities around the world and when designing an orange juice processing plant the company is guided by four key objectives: 1. Maximising the quality and taste of the juice 2. Maximising energy consumption 3. Exploiting by-products such as dried orange peel 4. Exploiting digital control and product recovery technology

The HRS series of MI/MRPasteurisers use food-grade,multi-tube,corrugated heat exchangersto speed up the heat transfer in pasteurisation systems. These corrugated tubes create extra turbulence in the fluid as it flows through the tubes.

Matt explains more: “The result of this extra turbulence means that the orange juice can be heated up to pasteurisation temperature much faster –typically by up to 30%.

Critically, heat velocity should be carefully considered because the longer it takes,the greater the effect on the product, and quality will deteriorate. The temperature of the heating mediacan affect quality,too -the hotter the heating media, the more damage the hot tubes inside thepasteuriser will have on product quality.”

Benefits of high heat transfer Because of the high heat transfer rates of the corrugated tube technique, HRS’s pasteurisation systems use water at a lower temperature to reduce the risk of product damage. Another benefit of higher heat transfer rates is that the system footprint can be reducedbyusing shorter heat exchanger pipes. The shorter length of the heat exchanger also results in a reduction in pressure drop, which saves pumping power and further reduces energy costs –often by 40%.

System lifespan is also greater using the HRS technology.

The corrugated design/profile of the inner tube helps reduce product fouling –it disrupts the fluid boundary layer and creates higher velocity and turbulence. As the juice travels around the system,it’s less likely to stick to the tube wall and causecorrosion and reduced performance (leading to increased downtime and maintenance costs, expensive replacement parts and reduced system lifespan).

DIGITAL ISSUE NO.03 : JUL 2021

15

INGREDIENT & CHEMICALS

In the system, water carrying the recycled heat energy travels in the space between the inner and outer tubes and flows in the opposite direction to the juice. The fact that the two liquids are travelling in opposite directions boosts the maximum amount of heat transfer due to a mechanism called counter-current exchange,as Matt explains: “Counter-current creates a declining difference in temperature (helping heat transfer) whereas in concurrent (where heated and heating elements are side by side, as in a tank and jacket system) the initial difference is higher but quickly levels off. The HRS system pumps the juice and heating and cooling water around the exchanger, which further boosts the maximum heat transfer achievable.”

Perfect pulp processing As well aspasteurisers, HRS provides systems for treating and aseptically filling pulp. One of the key aspects of this is the ability to move the pulp and the HRS BP Series of piston pumps are particularly suited to this purpose. The BP pump is hygienic yet can still develop pressures of up to 40 Bar. For the thermal treatment of pulp we suggest the HRS AS Series of heat exchangers, which uses three concentric tubes, with the pulp flowing through the annulus between the outer and inner tubes, so that it is thermally treated from both sides.

16

ASIA FOOD BEVERAGE THAILAND

Finally, the pulp treatment process uses a ‘Bag-in-Drum’ or ‘Bag-in-Box’ AF Series aseptic filler designed by HRS, which allowsthe product to be packedinto aseptic containers. Pre-formed and pre-sterilised containers of between 5 and 1,000 litres are normally used, depending on market requirements.

Matt Hale concludes: “With experience in fruit juice plants around the world, we can provide solutions not only to provide high quality juice products from a wide range of fruits and vegetables, but also equipment to process the resulting by-products. Thismeans that as well as maximising energy efficiency to reduce running costs, we extract the greatest possible value from every stage.”
