Sektkellereien Rotkäppchen-Mumm rely on BEUMER high-capacity packaging systems:

FOR MEMORABLE AND SPARKLING MOMENTS

I

n order to transport palletised beverage cartons to the central warehouses and distribution centres of the customers, the German market leader for sparkling wine, Rotkäppchen-Mumm Sektkellereien GmbH, Freyburg (Unstrut), decided to equip two of its production locations with the BEUMER stretch hood M high-capacity packaging systems. These systems package the palletised beverage cartons quickly, flexibly and sustainably with a stretch hood film. In Eltville on the Rhine (Hesse), BEUMER has adapted the packaging system so that the film size is changed with respect to the pallet size. These systems enable the Sektkellerei company to reduce shipping and complaint costs considerably in the medium term.

The Rotkäppchen-Mumm Sektkellereien GmbH headquartered in Freyburg at the Unstrut in Saxony-Anhalt

BEUMER FP 2/14.indd 3

is leading producer of sparkling wine in Germany. They are also one of the top producers of various spirits and wines. Owing to their production of exclusive wines, the RotkäppchenMumm Sektkellereien hold a “Sparkling wine” market share of approx.

50 % in the food trade. The company group currently has around 550 employees and produces at five different locations in Saxona-Anhalt, Thuringia, Hesse and Baden-Württemberg.

Production Manager Karl-Josef Lauzi describes the Hesse Sektkellerei: “In Eltville on the Rhine near Mainz, we have a very traditional location.”

Lauzi has been working for the Sektkellereien for over 30 years and is responsible for the entire Rotkäppchen-Mumm production operation.

Lauzi explains, “the company was founded in 1811. The well-known sparkling wine brands are Mumm, MM Extra and Jules Mumm; all of

which are produced at this location.”

The various beverages are filled and bottled automatically, closed with cork, agraffe and capsule and provided with a corresponding label. Next, they are packed into different cardboard boxes. The packaged bottles are picked up by a palletiser, which stacks them onto pallets. Prior to implementing BEUMER technology, the upper surfaces of the cardboard boxes were glued and transported to a binding machine where the palletised beverage cartons were tied up. Beverage cartons would then be carried through the pallet transport system to the goods issue - where they can be prepared for the shuttle truck of the logistics service provider.

Every year approximately 300,000 pallets leave this location. However, in the past, due to frequent hard braking, sudden steering moves and sharp curves, during transport, car-

SPECIAL

tons loosened themselves from the compound, falling onto the loading space. The result was broken bottles and lost product. “For a faster material flow in their central warehouses many customers rely on automatic loading and unloading systems,” says Lauzi. This requires product to be sufficiently secured and protected.

Safer, More Stable and Especially Sustainable In order to reduce damage during transport and to meet the increased logistics requirements, Sektkellerei searched for a packaging solution to ensure safer and more stable beverage stacks. “At the beginning of 2012, the Engineering and Logistics departments contacted us with a concrete request”, recalls Klaus-Dieter Enzenbach, Sales Manager at BEUMER Maschinenfabrik GmbH in Beckum.

In order to demonstrate their innovative engineering, BEUMER invited the Sektkellereien team to Beckum to carry out packaging testing of their products. “In the testing hall, the impressive BEUMER stretch hood M, high-capacity packaging system, was presented”, proclaims Joachim Engler. After testing, the benefits of the stretch hood became clear and both the shrink wrapping and the stretch wrapping techniques were eliminated as packaging options, as they did not meet Sektkellereien’s requirements due to high film consumption.

“The BEUMER high-capacity packaging system pulls a 40 micrometres thin film hood over the palletised beverage cartons. Optimally packaged,

BEUMER FP 2/14.indd 4

the cartons are protected against damage during transport and reach the customer in perfect order,” says Engler. “Moreover, two different pallet sizes can be packaged with this multi-format system. The change is semiautomatic and it is not necessary to retrofit the system. Thus, we are well prepared for future requirements”.

In order to demonstrate the conformity of the product and the increased stability of loads packed with the BEUMER stretch hood M, BEUMER and Rotkäppchen together with DEKRA, the world’s leading expert organisation for safety, quality and environmental protection, performed different driving tests under extreme conditions. The results were favourable and in March 2013, BEUMER was awarded with a contract including supply, installation and commissioning of the high-capacity packaging systems.

Sustainability Black and White Both loading stability and sustainability were critical decision making factors for Sektkellereien. In support of our commitment to deliver sustainable material handling solutions, BEUMER Group has developed the BEUMER Sustainability Index (BSI). This validation system is used to evaluate the sustainability of new machines in a continuous, systematic and verifiable way on three comprehensive levels: economics, ecology and social responsibility.

Economic performance, market presence, financial opportunities and

risks are well-known parameters.

BEUMER products will only become economically sustainable, when they and the corresponding production processes are tailored to long-term customer use. The BEUMER specialists evaluate the value of each product, not just their cost. If we consider the BEUMER stretch hood series for example, an intuitive human-machine interface simplifies operation and makes quick work of film roll changes. Operating parameters can be changed as well. Furthermore, this system is highly energy efficient.

BEUMER technical experts, in cooperation with film manufacturers developed a solution to meet specific needs and requirements. “If the filled bottles on the pallets are exposed

is then guided to the shipping area by a conveying system.

to extreme heat and sunlight during transport, this may result in the formation of condensation,” explains Enzenbach. “In such cases a perforated film is used, which enables the water steam to escape”. Another special feature of this thin film is: after utilisation, the film can be returned into the multi-cycle system and recycled - thus considerably reducing packaging waste.

Optimal Service

Accurate Insertion into the Packaging Line The BEUMER stretch hood construction series is a modular system, which can be adapted flexibly to the individual requirements of the user.

“To allow better handling of the perforated films, we have designed a special device”, explains Enzenbach.

This device makes sure that the film is picked up without any problems either by the gripping system or the suction unit. Particularly with perforated, thin film, there runs a risk of the holes interlocking at the cut edges due to the punching process.

The conveying technology was also adapted and is now able to transport different pallet sizes to the BEUMER stretch hood M. A challenge for the BEUMER specialists was the time frame during which the system had to be installed and commissioned.

“We had exactly three weeks”, recalls Enzenbach. The location stops operation only once a year in summer. During this period machines and systems are subject to extensive service measures. “It was this time, we were expected to insert the BEUMER stretch hood accurately into the line”, explains Enzenbach.

This phase of the project was concluded without issues. The new packaging system has been successfully running since August 2013.

A conveyor is used to feed the palletised beverage cartons into the packaging system. The innovative control technology automatically recognises different stacking heights and adapts itself accordingly. An

BEUMER FP 2/14.indd 5

ultrasonic sensor determines the required film length. The film is then cut and sealed along the cut edge. This forms a hood, which is stretched, pulled over the stack and down underneath the pallet base ensuring more retention force by a special base reinforcement. The BEUMER stretch hood system acts on the high contracting forces of the film. This fits the entire stack snugly “as a second skin” and provides the required stability. This quick and efficient packaging process protects goods from the environment. The palletised goods are clearly visible due to the smooth surface of the transparent, highly flexible film. This enables packaging of up to 100 pallet loads per hour. The hooded pallet

To ensure a trouble-free course of the intralogistics processes, BEUMER Group offers optimal service and maintenance after commissioning with their Customer Support Team.

“The service concept is individually designed for and in cooperation with the customer”, explains the BEUMER specialist Enzenbach. This includes inspections at regular intervals as well as planning and availability of spare or replacement parts. In case of system failure or disruptions, teleservice is available around-theclock with the BEUMER Hotline.

Furthermore Joachim Engler, head of the Engineering Department and his team are aware that the system and all components can be easily accessed by maintenance personnel.

“Since its installation the BEUMER stretch hood M has been running very stable”, says Ulrich Wiegel, Managing Director of Rotkäppchen-Mumm Sektkellereien GmbH. The support offered by the BEUMER employees is exemplary. “The experiences gained in Eltville on the Rhine could be incorporated several weeks later during another installation and commissioning of the packaging system at the location in Freyburg, Saxony. The system was ready for use after only 2 days”.

Packaging is the key element of

success for any goods, therefore, UKRPLASTIC is constantly improving its production processes and is developing advanced technologies to enhance the product features.

UKRPLASTIC is a powerful scientific and industrial complex with highend technologies for producing flexible packaging, from granules and inks to ready-made rolls and packages. Most flexible packaging materials are produced by UKRPLASTIC under the proprietary trade marks of BIPAN ®, SOLAN ,® ALPAN ,® VIPAN ®, and TWISPAN ®.

The company produces five- and nine-layer co-extruded films, and has mastered the production of eleven-layer structures for the first time ever in the international practice. In order to produce laminated materials, different types of in-line lamination are used to vary between coextruded, solvent, solventless, two- and three-layer lamination.

Plasma treatment and vacuum films metallization are employed.

The company has arranged an upto-date printing facility that has no equals to compete with. There are

10- and 11-unit rotogravure and flexographic printing presses, digital reference inspection systems and installations to supervise the print quality. Electronic design, digital and laser technologies for prepress processes, stochastic screening, and ultraviolet drying of printing inks and lacquers are also applied.

The produced packaging can make an impression of a paper bag, while retaining the functional features and performances of the flexible packaging material. The technology of a composite selective lacquering as well as combination of glossy and matte surfaces altogether render the inimitable style to the packaging.

The UKRPLASTIC’s flexible packaging materials make allowance for all specific features of production, storage, and usage of various categories of the products. While selecting a proper packaging material, the company experts first of all focus on providing the utmost protection of the product against those environmental factors it is the least resistant to. For example, the biscuits packaging is supposed to primarily protect the product against moisture absorption and off-odors.

A lower protection level is required to neutralize oxygen and light exposure. In order to protect the packed product and prevent its damage, the flexible packaging materials for detergents have to provide high integrity and stiffness.

The UKRPLASTIC packaging protects the product against moisture, off-odors, neutralizes light and oxygen exposure and prevents aromatized products from aroma loss.

The flexible packaging materials offer reasonable price and outperform other packaging in their efficiency.

For each product category the company offers its tailor-made product solution, whose cost-efficiency and viability have been proved by a longtime experience.

UKRPLASTIC FP 2/14.indd 4

The highest quality and safety of these packaging materials are an apparent benefit for the customers.

The production process employs only those materials and raw stock that are certified in compliance with the international and European safety standards.

The products’ samples are thoroughly tested in the company’s quality lab equipped with the state-ofthe-art facilities. When required, the labs of the company’s partners worldwide are used. The flexible packaging materials manufactured by the company are physiologically neutral, neither change the food flavors of the products, nor contain any chlorine compounds or emit dioxin when being recycled in the combustion process. Owning to the cutting-edge technologies of flexographic and rotogravure printing, the UKRPLASTIC’s packaging materials contain far less residual solvents than the most of their countertypes. This makes the materials more friendly to the human body and environment. These packaging materials comply with all the current sanitary and hygienic regulations, they are produced from the high-quality raw stock and are internationally certified.

UKRPLASTIC has introduced an effective ecology management system, the company regularly proves its conformance with the require-

ments of the International Standards like ISO 14001:2004 (Environmental Management Systems), ISO 22000:2005 (Food Safety Management Systems), and ISO 9001:2008 (Quality Management Systems).

The company’s products have won a lot of awards from the reputable professional associations. Last year UKRPLASTIC, apart from the three wins in the individual categories, received the grand prize of the contest - The Best of the Best Packaging from GAA and The Golden Prize from EFIA - 2013 Gold Print Award.

Such a high appraisal of the UKRPLASTIC’s products by the worldwide professionals confirms that the company’s clients are offered the packaging material whose usage becomes the competitive advantage in the market.

The flexible polymer packaging materials are rather versatile in their application, therefore, UKRPLASTIC will be glad to see you among its customers!

“THINK PROCESS” – VON DER EINZELNEN KNETMASCHINE ZUR KOMPLETTEN BÄCKEREITECHNIK Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts gehörten Mut und Entschlossenheit dazu, ein Unternehmen zu gründen. Der große Börsenkrach 1873 hatte die goldene Gründerzeit abrupt beendet, die Wirtschaft war in Krisenstimmung. Herrmann Werner ließ sich davon nicht abhalten. 1879 eröffnete er die „Herrmann Werner Maschinenfabrik“, die Vorläuferin der wenige Monate später beim Amtsgericht eingetragenen „Werner & Pfleiderer Maschinenbaufabrik in Cannstatt“.

H

errmann Werner und Paul Pfleiderer kannten sich von ihrem gemeinsamen Maschinenbaustudium am Stuttgarter Polytechnikum. Als sich Werner selbstständig machte, führte Pfleiderer bereits in England ein Maschinenhandelsunternehmen und besaß ein Patent für eine Knetmaschine mit zwei elliptischen Schlaufen.

Um diese auch in Deutschland zu fertigen, gewann er Werner zum Partner. Das Geschäft mit Knetmaschinen entwickelte sich in Deutschland glänzend, nicht zuletzt durch die große Nachfrage der chemischen Industrie und den Großbäckereien des Militärs.

lich sind, unabhängig von anderen Anbietern selbst konstruieren und bauen. Dieses Ziel des Firmengründers wurde über die Jahre hinweg konsequent verfolgt und ist bis heute unter dem Begriff think process die unternehmerische Leitidee.

Schon damals wünschten sich die Kunden von Werner & Pfleiderer nicht nur Knetmaschinen, sondern ganze Produktionsanlagen. Teigwalzen, Ausstechmaschinen und Öfen beschaffte Pfleiderer zunächst aus England, bis Herrmann Werner eine richtungsweisende Grundsatzentscheidung traf: Zukünftig werde WP alle Einzelkomponenten, die für eine komplette Anlage erforder-

Die Produktionsausweitung von Werner & Pfleiderer begann mit modernen Backöfen. In London hatte die Firma Perkins ein spezielles Dampfrohr entwickelt, womit die Wärme in den Öfen besser verteilt und der Brennstoff effektiver ausgenutzt werden konnte als in den bis dahin gängigen in Ziegelsteinen gemauerten Öfen. „Werner, Pfleiderer & Perkins Ltd“ wurde 1893 ge-

WP FP 2/14.indd 3

gründet, die deutsche Firma erhielt den Zusatz „Cannstatter Dampfbackofen-Fabrik“.

Innerhalb kürzester Zeit folgten weitere Eigenkonstruktionen: Maschinen zum Teigformen, zum gewichtsgenauen Teilen, ein Kegelrundwirker und ein GehängeGärschrank. Ende der 1890er-Jahre war die Herstellungslinie vollständig. WP, ursprünglich Spezialist für Misch- und Knetmaschinen, bot nun die gesamte Palette der Bäckereitechnik an.

In dieser Zeit veränderte sich auch die industrielle Antriebstechnik hin zu Elektromotoren. Bislang gab es in den Fabriken zentrale Kraftquellen in Form von Dampfmaschinen oder Gasmotoren. Da mit Elektromotoren Einzelmaschinen angetrieben werden konnten, war es zum ersten Mal auch für handwerkliche Bäckereien möglich, Teig maschinell herzustellen.

Für moderne Bäckereien wurde die Viennara-Knetmaschine von WP schnell zur Standardausrüstung.

Die neue Antriebsmöglichkeit automatisierte auch die Arbeit in den

Brotfabriken. Der kontinuierlich arbeitende WP-Gehängeofen mit der Bezeichnung „Auto-Ofen“ erreichte eine Leistung von 10.000 Brötchen pro Stunde.

Der Erste Weltkrieg bremste die dynamische technische und wirtschaftliche Entwicklung. Die einst so erfolgreich aufgebauten Auslandsmärkte gingen nach dem Kriegsende für WP weitestgehend verloren. Werke, Tochterfirmen und Verkaufsniederlassungen im Ausland wurden enteignet, mussten verkauft oder geschlossen werden.

In dieser schwierigen Situation gelang WP dennoch mit Öfen in Stahlbauweise eine bedeutende Innovation, die allerdings eine Finanzkrise des Unternehmens nicht verhindern konnte.

1927 kommt es zur Umstrukturierung in eine Kommanditgesellschaft, die Geschäftsführung wird einer selbstständigen Direktion unter Vorsitz von Otto Fahr übertragen.

Damit war der Fortbestand zwar gesichert, doch der „Schwarze Freitag“ an der Wall Street am 25.

Oktober 1929 und dessen Folgen wirkten sich auch auf WP aus. Zwischen 1929 und 1934 sank die Zahl der Mitarbeiter von 1350 auf 555, der Umsatz schrumpfte von 16 auf 5 Millionen Mark.

Wirtschaftlich aufwärts ging es für WP wieder mit der Entwickelung eines bis heute bewährten Heizsystems für Backöfen: der ZyklothermTechnik. Damit war es möglich, die Temperatur genau zu regeln und besseres Gebäck zu niedrigeren Produktionskosten herzustellen.

Mit diesem Erfolg wuchs das Unternehmen kräftig. 1938 entstand in Stuttgart-Feuerbach ein zentrales WP-Werk mit eigener Energieversorgung, auf dem alle Fertigungsstätten und Büros konzentriert wurden.

Während des Zweiten Weltkrieges, im Winter 1944/45, wurde das

WP FP 2/14.indd 4

Werk durch Fliegerangriffe größtenteils zerstört.

1949 übernahm Otto Fahr erneut die Führung von WP und verbreiterte das Produktionsprogramm.

WP-Technik wurde nicht nur in der Backbranche eingesetzt, sondern u.a. auch zur Produktion von Seife, Zahnpasta, für Spritzguss- und Kunststoffteile, Reifen und Bremsbeläge, Telefongehäuse und Radiergummis.

Eine Revolution in der Ofentechnik gelang WP 1953 mit dem MATADOR. Mit dem neuartigen Etagenofen in Stahlwärme-Konstruktion und mit seinem Umwälzheizsystem ZYKLOTHERM konnten Bäcker zum ersten Mal zeitlich flexibel produzieren. Das stundenlange Vorheizen der Holz- und Kohlebacköfen gehörte nun der Vergangenheit an. Auf einen Schlag steigerte der MATADOR auch die Bäckereikapazität. Denn platzsparend gebaut bot er auf derselben Stellfläche mindestens zwei Etagen mehr als die Schamottöfen.

Eine weitere wichtige Weichenstellung war der Weg in die Auslandsmärkte und der Aufbau eigener Auslandsgesellschaften. Ende der 1960er-Jahre betrug der Exportanteil am WP-Umsatz bereits 64 %.

Die Produktionsfläche in StuttgartFeuerbach reicht nicht mehr aus.

Da Flächen und Arbeitskräfte in der baden-württembergischen Landeshauptstadt knapp waren, entstand ein neues Werk im bayrischen Dinkelsbühl. 1964 zog zuerst die erfolgreiche Produktion des Etagenbackofens MATADOR um, 1973 folgt die gesamte Ofenfertigung und 1979 Brötchenanlagenbau für handwerkliche Bäckereien.

Von Werner & Pfleiderer zur WP BAKERYGROUP “think process“ – die weitsichtige Idee von Werner Herrmann wird auch heute noch erfolgreich umgesetzt, und zwar von einer ganzen Gruppe von Spezialmaschinenbauunternehmen für die Bäckereibran-

che. Sie bilden gemeinsam die WP BAKERYGROUP. Den Grundstein der WP BAKERYGROUP legte Jürgen Horstmann, als er 1989 die Emil Kemper GmbH in Rietberg übernahm. Das nordrheinwestfälische Maschinenbauunternehmen blickt auf eine lange Firmengeschichte zurück, die 1885 begann, als Emil Kemper mit seinem Partner in einer kleinen Werkstatt Milchzentrifugen baute. Bereits 1890 errichtete er eine Fabrik in Rietberg/Neuenkirch. Dort entwickelte er weitere landwirtschaftliche Maschinen, die er in alle Welt vertrieb. Nach 1945 übernahm Kempers Tochter Käthe das Unternehmen und stellt die Produktion auf Knetmaschinen um. Anfang der 1950er-Jahre folgten Mehlsieb- und Teigformmaschinen, danach Brotund Brötchenanlagen. In der WP BAKERYGROUP ist WP Kemper das Kompetenzzentrum für Teigdosierung- und Knetung sowie für Produktionsanlagen zur Herstellung von runden und eckigen Brötchen sowie fettgebackenen Produkten.

1997 akquirierte Jürgen Horstmann gleich zwei Spezialmaschinenbauer auf einen Schlag: Werner & Pfleiderer in Dinkelsbühl, das seitdem unter dem Namen Werner & Pfleiderer Lebensmitteltechnik firmiert, sowie WP Haton. Haton gehörte bereits seit 1975 zu Werner & Pfleiderer.

Das 1949 von Harry Tonnaer gegründete Unternehmen hat seinen Sitz in Helden-Panningen in den Niederlanden. In der WP BAKERYGROUP ist WP Haton der Spezialist, wenn es um die Herstellung von Brot jeglicher Art geht.

Seit 1998 gehört auch Werner & Pfleiderer Industrielle Backtechnik zur WP Gruppe. Das Unternehmen, das aus der ursprünglichen Gesamtgesellschaft in Stuttgart Feuerbach aus der Werner & Pfleiderer GmbH hervorging, hatte bis dahin eine wechselvolle Geschichte.

WP FP 2/14.indd 5

Nachdem im Jahre 1997 Jürgen Horstmann den Bereich handwerkliche Backtechnik der Werner & Pfleiderer in Dinkelbühl erworben hatte, verblieb die Sparte der Industriellen Backtechnik zunächst noch am Standort in Stuttgart Feuerbach und firmierte unter Beteiligung eines südafrikanischen Investors als Werner & Pfleiderer Combake.

Der Firmensitz wurde von Stuttgart Feuerbach nach Tamm verlegt. Erst nach Übernahme dieses Unternehmensteiles im Jahre 1998 wurde daraus die Werner & Pfleiderer Industrielle Backtechnik GmbH und damit ein Mitglied der WP BAKERYGROUP. Diese bedeutenden Veränderungen gingen einher mit einer umfangreichen Restrukturierung zu einem flexiblen und erfolgreichen Engineering Unternehmen. Innerhalb der WP BAKERYGROUP konnten nun wieder alle Ressourcen, von der Planung und Ausführung von industriellen Backöfen bis zu schlüsselfertigen Projekten, vereint werden.

Die Schwerpunkte der Arbeit innerhalb der WP IB liegen im Bereich des Engineering für Anlagen der Frischback- und der Dauerbackwarenindustrie weltweit. Hier entstehen Systemlösungen von der ersten Skizze bis zur fertigen Produktionsanlage, die mit hoher Engineeringkompetenz besonders die kundenspezifische Anforderung in den Vordergrund stellen.

Die jeweiligen Produkte wie Maschinen und Öfen werden stetig weiterentwickelt, um auch den neuen Anforderungen hinsichtlich Energieeffizienz und Umweltverträglichkeit gerecht zu werden. Weitere Schwerpunkte der Entwicklung sind im Bereich der Hygiene und der Service-/ Wartungsfreundlichkeit zu sehen.

Als jüngstes Mitglied kam 2013 WP Riehle zur WP BAKERYGROUP.

Der Aalener Spezialist für Frittieren, Fettbacken, Blechreinigen und Belaugen wurde 1967 von Walter Riehle gegründet. Die erste Maschine war der kleine Tauchboy zur manuellen Belaugung von Brezeln.

Heute reicht die Anlagenkompetenz von der Handwerksmaschine bis zu leistungsfähigen Groß- und kundenspezifischen Sonderanlagen.

In der Summe ist die WP BAKERYGROUP weltweit der größte Anbieter von Maschinen und Anlagen, der die gesamte Prozesskette von Handwerks- bis zu industriellen Großbäckereien bedient. Eigene Niederlassungen hat die WP BAKERYGROUP in den USA, in Frankreich, Italien, Österreich, Russland und in der Ukraine. Über internationale Handelspartner ist die Gruppe auch in zahlreichen anderen Ländern vertreten.

Viele der Tochterunternehmen sind seit Jahrzehnten, einige seit mehr als einem Jahrhundert Marktführer in ihrem Bereich. Durch die Spezialisierung der einzelnen Werke werden sämtliche Sparten der Produktionstechnik abgedeckt und im Zusammenspiel aller Unternehmen entstehen neue Geschäftsfelder, wie etwa der Energiedienstleister WP Green. Das garantiert, dass WP auch weiterhin alle Anforderungen von Bäckereien aus einer Hand erfüllen kann. „Prozessdenken bedeutet für uns, alle Einzelschritte in der Produktion einzubinden und optimal miteinander zu vernetzen.

Dadurch wird es möglich, kontinuierlich Backwaren auf hohem Qualitätsniveau sowohl wirtschaftlich als auch ressourcenschonend herzustellen. think process war in den zurückliegenden 135 Jahren unsere erfolgreiche Unternehmensphilosophie und unser Alleinstellungsmerkmal und wird es auch in Zukunft bleiben!“, sagt Jürgen Horstmann, geschäftsführender Gesellschafter der WP BALKERYGROUP.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT INSPECTION FROM OCS – DISCOVER SIMPLICITY AT WORK OCS Checkweighers shows its widest product portfolio ever at interpack 2014

D

uring the 20th interpack edition (08 – 14 May 2014) OCS Checkweighers will showcase its most comprehensive product portfolio ever.

Covering almost twice the size as their previous stand from interpack 2011, OCS will answer every aspect of current and future application needs. With OCS’s broad range of inspection solutions for weighing, scanning and verifying, the highest requirements of the packaging industry are perfectly served.

Dynamic Weighing: 100% inline weight control up to 640 ppm OCS categorise its checkweighers in three product lines: Essential (EC-E), Medium (HC-M) and Avantgarde (HC-A). Each machine is designed to be easily and conveniently integrated into existing production lines. Each machine stands for an excellent performance. Whilst ensuring the highest reliability, these checkweighers are reading the individual product weight, verifying the reading against the set weight value and rejecting all incorrect weight units automatically. The HC-M and HC-A family offers a huge model variety which is driven by the market demands. The HC-M-WD (protection class IP 69K) for example is made for intensive wash down cleaning regimes and strict hygiene requirements. Self-evident it complies to the HACCP and IFS regulation.

sophisticated servo drive conveyor technology, to ensure perfect product handling.

The technology in the servo drives is second to none and benefits from being practically maintenance free.

Product handling is key to customer success. The same can be said for the unique Weigh Cells based on Electro Magnetic Force Restoration, with distinct competitive advantages such as AVC technology. AVC (Active Vibration Compensation) allows the precise dynamic weighing in even the worst vibration affected environments.

AVC is cleverly utilised to compensate for background vibration to ensure consistently accurate weight readings. This technology is not only come handy in weak building structures or heavy forklift traffic but even when running speeds over 400 ppm.

X-ray Scanning: much more than simple contamination detection The appreciated application flexibility from the checkweigher range is also implemented in the comprehensive product portfolio of sophisticated X-ray scanners. The best possible product inspection is guaranteed by utilising a modular ma-

chine design and an intelligent but unique X-ray inspection approach.

Scanners by OCS Checkweighers fulfill highest requirements with regards to precise detection and ensure best possible food safety.

These scanners not only detect foreign objects and other contaminants such as stones, eventually glass, plastics and bones with a higher density.But furthermore, they detect product flaws such as broken, deformed or incomplete products and rejects them. The unique camera-detector-technology

renders product pictures of stunning sharpness and resolution (as high as 0,15 mm).

Taken images can be stored and kept for further reference. Additionally with its modular design the OCS X-ray range helps customers with bespoke requirements. For example the X-ray is fitted with a closed water cooling loop that is both compact and can be fully flexible in design.

Advantage built-in: Excellence by in-house development & manufacturing The extraordinary manufacturing depth and the setup of all design and production steps under one roof guarantees the exceptional quality, flexibility and reliability of OCS Checkweighers’ whole array of products.

OCS customers benefit from the fact that all key components and the systems themselves are manufactured entirely in-house. This allows direct communication, perfect customisation to individual needs and a future proofing investment with a guaranteed spare parts service where needed many years down the road. www.ocs-cw.com

MORE THAN 25 YEARS WEIGHING TECHNOLOGY AT ITS BEST

Wipotec is recognized globally as the leading system provider for the integration of intelligent weighing technology. Ever since it was founded more than 25 years ago the company has been growing constantly and quickly. Today, Wipotec has 400 employees and subsidiaries in Italy and the USA.

T

he core business of Wipotec is the development, production and integration of ultra-fast precision Weigh Cells and high-tech weighing systems for high-speed applications.

Wipotec Weigh Cells are applied in a wide range of industrial production processes, such as checkweighers, filling and dosing as well as the integration in packaging machines. Furthermore, highly specific solutions, tailored to the needs of the customers, are implemented for the pharmaceutical industry to weigh capsules, tablets, syringes and vials.

The Weigh Cell work according to the principle of Electro Magnetic Force Restoration (EMFR). They are based on the monoblock technology which makes them extremely precise and fast and enables them to render accurate weighing results even at highest speeds and under the most adverse conditions. Vibrations can be actively compensated for. The product range includes models which can weigh a mere microgram and others which can deal with loads from µg up to 150 kg.

Wipotec places special emphasis on the independent development of all necessary technologies and core components. Therefore, about 25

WIPOTEC FP 2/14.indd 3

percent of the staff work in hardware and software development. The in-house development and project engineering departments enable the company to provide all production documents required within a very short time frame and with a maximum of flexibility.

The heart of all Weigh Cells, the socalled monoblock, is manufactured in the in-house machining centre by means of state-of-the-art CNC milling machines. However Wipotec’s systematic in-house policy does not end with the mechanical manufacturing, the printed circuit boards are also manufactured under the

ALL NEW LIQUID FILLING MACHINE SETS NEW STANDARDS ❱ The filling zone is completely covered to minimise the risk of product contamination ❱ The machines ‘up and over’ guarding offers unrestricted access to the filling zone with no ‘hidden’ areas With hygiene being a primary focus for the food manufacturing industry, where the machine’s components are in direct contact with the product, hygienic design of your filling machine will add value to the overall product and will help keep machine downtime to a minimum.

Optimised Functionality

T

he Adelphi Group has redesigned its range of filling equipment to meet the demanding needs of the food manufacturing industry. Using state-of-the-art technology and introducing all the technical improvements needed to make the new range of machines more hygienic, user friendly and higher-performing; Adelphi has responded to food manufacturers ongoing requirements for increased production output, lower operating costs and greater standards of hygiene with the launch of its System F range of innovative inline fillers.

Implementing machine design guidelines specific to the food manufacturing industry all processing modules were designed with hygiene in mind:

ADELPHI FP 2/14.indd 3

❱ All surfaces of the closed box section machine frame are at least 15 degrees off horizontal eliminating any unwanted pooling of product and allowing the machine to be hosed down; there is also clear access under the machine body so a high level of cleanliness can be maintained ❱ The product tank has internal angles of no less than 135 degrees to eliminate difficult to clean areas ❱ the product tank can even be rotated rearwards by 90 degrees to allow easy access for cleaning at floor level by an operator ❱ A quick release and quick strip pumping and filling system can be easily removed for thorough cleaning ❱ The purging trough has open angled surfaces and no crevices

Along with hygienic design a key market trend in the food manufacturing industry in recent years has been flexibility. Flexibility is a term food manufacturers can use to specify the adaptability a machine has to run various products or containers which differ in size and shape. The improvements introduced with this new range of filling machines have allowed a reduction in both product and container change over times, with relative maximisation of production output.

The modular design of the quick strip and easy clean System F pumping and filling system means that downtime whilst carrying out a product change over is significantly reduced.

All contact parts can be removed and replaced within 10 minutes, with no tools, and, if needed, contact parts can then be stripped to their component parts in just a further 5 minutes. The machines design is such that product change over’s can be achieved extremely quickly by simply exchanging used contact parts with a pre-sterilised set.

Container change over’s can be done in an instant and the System F range offers the option for this to be fully automated. The required fill volume

SPECIAL

can be pre-set by the recipe recall from the HMI touch screen and the ‘Y’ axis nozzle movement allows for quicker container change over adding to the machines productivity. Containers ranging in size from 100ml to 25 litres can be filled on one machine simply by interchanging the pumping module as required.

Offering the most innovative technology currently available on the market, new synchronised SERVO drive technology ensures consistency of fill volume with the ability to adjust the filling and nozzle speed and nozzle height quickly and efficiently.

All of these factors combine to save precious production time, and to maximise the output achieved. In addition, energy saving drive systems ensure that System F delivers significant energy cost savings when

compared to a similar pneumatically driven filling machine. The machine could pay for itself in energy savings alone in less than six years.

System F will be on display to the

public for the first time in Hall 4 at Interpack 2014. The filler will take pride of place on Stand E39-10.

SECURE SEALS AND GENTLE HANDLING OF FILL GOODS WITH ULTRASONICS Ultrasonic sealing for packaging. Hermetically tight joints reduce the leaker rate and make the industry sit up and take notice. Moreover, narrow seams save packaging material while cold tools are gentle on sensitive feed material. A closer look at a reliable and efficient alternative for heat sealing.

Ultrasonic sealing module for manufacturing of pouches

S

ealing is a process of substance-bonded joining of composite material with a thermoplastic layer, with this layer being subject to technical welding conditions. For this reason, ultrasonic welding systems have been successfully implemented for a variety of sealing applications in the field of packaging, such as bags, blisters, pods, and cartons for quite some time now. The benefits speak for themselves: ❱ Short cycle times between 80 and

herrmann FP 2-14.indd 3

200 ms ❱ No thermal influences on feed material and packaging material ❱ Quality assurance by means of detailed parameterization ❱ Sealing of product-contaminated surfaces (liquid, powder, paste) ❱ Good hot tack ❱ Saving of packaging material due to narrow seams ❱ Reduced effort for cleaning of sealing tools ❱ Good overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)

Basic ultrasonic principles: Transformation of mechanical vibration into heat The ultrasonic waves are mechanical sound waves that are transformed into friction heat and thus cause a substance-bonded connection at the molecular level. Friction heat is generated by deformation work, i.e. inner friction within the molecular bond, and through boundary layer friction, i.e. outer friction between the sealing materials. During the ultrasonic process,

10/04/14 14.07

SPECIAL

mechanical vibrations of an ultrasonic frequency are applied to the foil at a specific amplitude, force, and duration. The process parameters depend on foil structure, foil thickness and joint geometry.

From the applied supply voltage, the ultrasonic generator generates high voltage, which oscillates at an ultrasonic frequency. In the converter (sound transducer) the oscillating high voltage is transformed into mechanical longitudinal vibration by means of piezoceramic elements exploiting the reverse piezo effect.

This longitudinal vibration, in turn, excites and causes vibration in a mechanical resonance unit (stack).

The vibration amplitude generated in the converter can be changed in the booster and the Sonotrode by utilization of different mass ratios, and thus be adjusted to the respective sealing job. The Sonotrode is the vibrating and “cold” sealing tool that directly applies vibration onto the packaging material at the supplied joining force. The frequency represents the number of vibrations per second and ranges between 20 kHz and 35 kHz (20 kHz is equal to 20,000 deformation cycles per second) for packaging materials. The vibration amplitude is equal to half the peak-to-peak amplitude, i.e. from zero value to peak value, and ranges between 5 and 50 µm.

Narrow seams Ultrasonic seals are slimmer than heat contact seals, but equally tight

herrmann FP 2-14.indd 4

and strong; and in addition, they save packaging material. Precise focusing of energy to melt the material is ensured by means of the anvil and/or Sonotrode contour and the small contact surface between Sonotrode and anvil. Anvils mostly have a textured structure with reduced contact surfaces and serve as passive tools; thus they must be mechanically decoupled to prevent from vibrating and ensure optimum utilization. The contact surface of the anvil consequently defines the sealing zone and hence the point of initial melt formation upon sound exposure; from that point, the sealing layer of the packaging material is transformed into a liquid state. After termination of ultrasonics exposure, the sealing layer material solidifies. During this period the pressure is maintained

for melt cool-down for a material and machine-based hold time. Then, the packaging materials are firmly connected with each other.

Tight sealing through productcontaminated surfaces Tight and strong sealing joints are also achieved for product-wetted sealing layers, since the mechanical ultrasonic vibrations literally “knock off” any feed material residues. This significantly reduces the number of leaking packages. Due to the option of parameter adjustment to the sealing process, variations in layer thickness, humidity content, and temperature difference can be detected and compensated within the specified limits. The ultrasonic generator saves all data and allows for quality assessment of the sealing process by means of reference/

actual comparison. Consequently, process check complies with highest quality requirements. Since operation is performed with cold tools, packaging and feed material are hardly subjected to thermal loads.

The cleaning effort is reduced and sealing tools are not soiled even in case of malfunctions in the filling process, which is a great advantage, particularly for temperature-sensitive feed materials with low melting points, such as chocolate-containing or chocolate-coated products.

The use of nonstick coating, such as Teflon strips, is not required.

Short cycle times Ultrasonic sealing is characterized by high energy efficiency, since energy is only required during actual sound exposure and short cycle times can be realized with sealing times of between 80 and 200 ms.

This is particularly beneficial with thick packaging materials or connections between injection molded packaging materials/accessories and foils. In comparison with permanently heated heat contact processes, ultrasonic systems are ready for

operation immediately upon switchon of the ultrasonic generator. By storing the sealing parameters in the memory of the ultrasonic generator, automatic switch-over among parameter sets is possible. Changes become immediately effective upon start of the next sealing process, so that no machine downtime is required. Intelligent adjustment of sealing parameters to ambiencebased or process-related changes allows for consistent and uniform sealing quality.

Increased hot tack With the ultrasonic process, the heat required for melting is only generated inside the seal (sealing layer) within the joining area. The support layer remains nearly completely cold and upon termination of energy input, the heat dissipates faster to the outside due to the temperature difference between the support layer and the sealing layer so that the hot-tack resistance is significantly higher. Hot tack characterizes the strength of the joint immediately after termination of the thermal joining process without

cooling. For vertical form, fill and seal (VFFS) machines in particular, high values are important since the seal joints are subjected to heavy loads through filling immediately after sealing.

The principal difference between ultrasonic sealing processes and heat contact processes is the temperature distribution. In heat contact processes the packaging materials are heated up from the outside by means of permanently heated or impulse-heated sealing tools. Since the temperature at the surface of the packaging material is higher than in the sealing area, heat flow into the inside of the joint is maintained after removal of the sealing tools. Initial hot-tack strength is low and a cooling period is required to achieve a strong joint. Moreover, overly high temperatures in the sealing tools will cause thermal damage to the packaging material (shrinkage or burning), material sticking to the sealing tools, or impairment of the feed material.

By applying ultrasonics, these negative factors can be minimized. www.herrmannultraschall.com

BERTUZZI: FOR THE PERFECT FINAL PRODUCT

T

he consumption of high quality fruits preparations has highly increate for a number of applications including: ❱ Yoghurt ❱ Backery filling ❱ Desserts Quality standards have also increased both in terms of size of the fruit particulate and their shape (in some cases and applications whole fruits are used). Typical examples are strawberries, blueberries and other berries used in both yoghurt and desserts.

The various ingredients (fruits, sugar, juice/puree, additives etc) are mixed and pasteurized in a special pan and then transferred to aseptic pan (pans) for cooling down to less than 40°C and, eventually, transferred to the filling.

In order to obtain a perfect final product even in presence of always more stringent requirements in terms of quality and characteristics of the product (low brix, excellent microbiology, large particulate content, productivity, high level of automation) specifically designed plants have to be designed.

Some but few of the main characteristics of the system are: 1 The system has to be specifically designed and manufactured in order to make possible the production of product with very large particulate (and high percentage) assuring a very limited shape damage.

This is accomplished by: ❱ Special stirrer design ❱ Large passage product valves ❱ Product transfer by gravity with help of nitrogen at low pressure ❱ Use of large diameter DN65 pe-

TESTATINA INTERPACK FP 2/14.indd 3

ristaltic pump only in case of high product viscosity 2.The system has to be designed in order to assure an aseptic product to be filled.

3.High flexibility. The system has to include an extremely efficient CIP (cleaning in place) system in order to perfectly clean the whole plant in reduced time, in order to be ready to change recipe to respond to market requirements in “real time”.

4.The pasteurizer must provide an efficient Brix standardization system based on a vacuum circuit that allows a deaeration of the mixture assuring therefore the elimination of oxygen with consequent benefit effects on the product (no oxidation, better color and organolectic characteristics also during prolonged storage).

5.Extremely efficient instrumentation is needed. A control board complete with a touch screen su-

pervisor monitors all phases of the operation.

The extremely advanced instrumentation and control reduce to the minimum the intervention of the personnel, reducing possibilities of contamination.

6.The product can be filled aseptically in stainless steel tootes or in aseptic bags.

7.All construction details must be at state of the art to considerably increase in quality and asepticity the final product.

A wide experience in the supply of state of the art plants for the production of high quality fruits preparations has been gained by Bertuzzi food Processing, an Italian company that operates since 1936 in the design and supply of plants and machinery to process fruits and vegetables to produce juice, concentrates, baby foods, jam, ready drinks, smoothies etc…

“ IS CONTINUALLY GROWING” SAYS MR FABRIZIO BRAMBATI.

B

rambati is a company with a tradition. It was founded in 1945 by Francesco Brambati and has always managed to keep up with the times and capitalize on its experience represented by an unbeatable source of knowhow. The most important secret, however, is its dynamism. It has never rested on its laurels and has always been able to update its proposals and to understand (and in many cases anticipate) the requirements of its customers.

The managers of the company today are the third generation of the family. This means that in the natural course of events the company has been able to keep its outlook fresh and dynamic whilst remaining faithful to traditional values. Today more than ever, its management team is made up of people with a level of enthusiasm making it possible to quickly incorporate technological innovations on the one hand, and marketing requirements on the other.

The Brambati group, based in Codevilla in Northern Italy, has a history of more than 65 years in food industries, such as bakeries, pasta, biscuits and baby food.

They specialize in the development and installation of complete equipment for storage, handling, blending, weighing and dosing of solids, granular, and liquid raw materials.

Brambati is highly specialized in plants for the production of coffee. In this sector, a winning card is its capacity to provide “turn-key” plants from the receipt of the green coffee through to the feeding of packaging machines and including

BRAMBATI FP 2/14.indd 3

many processes in between such as cleaning, storage, weighing, blending, roasting, conveying (standard and high density flow rate), milling and degassing. Remote connections by modem guarantee immediate control with reduction of costs and time.

Grinders in various sizes, made to high specificity according to the requirements of various markets.

Roasters are also available in many different sizes and can be either traditional or custom-built in order to allow complete flexibility in coffee roasting.

All machines are supplied with the option of an afterburner and/or catalytic converter to control the emission of fumes into the atmosphere.

This is especially important in taking particular care of the quality of the product, and also in minimizing environmental impact.

Brambati’s success is due to their know-how in different food sectors and that for years, Brambati has been aware of the problems relating to it. If the management of processing production is nowadays so efficient and trustworthy, it is certainly due in part to the proposals that the company offers. Brambati has been able to propose increas-

ingly evolved technology that conforms to modern needs, such as the traceability of goods, precise management of processing, respect for the quality of the materials used and the environmental impact of the systems supplied.

All projects represent a well-balanced union between engineering and informatics. The rapid development of information technology has also enabled Brambati to reach higher levels in efficiency and process control.

One of company’s strong points is precisely the ability to adapt its proposals on the basis of the standards required by the various markets.

That’s the reason why the company is so competitive in foreign markets, from Europe to the Far East, from America to Australia, from Africa to Middle East, where the name Brambati is increasingly gaining ground.

Informatics has played a decisive role in making all kinds of processing simple and more controllable. The company also provides hardware and software command panels and all systems can be completely computerized and automated. Nowadays, with simple intervention it is possible to exercise complete control of many types of processing.

ALTECH LABELLING SYSTEMS FOR INDUSTRY

L

abels are important in today’s world. Consumers choose the widest range of goods in the supermarket thanks to their labels, which associate them with the ads seen on TV. Thousands of brands and millions of products, with billions of packages chosen every day with no help from sales staff except at the till.

The label is the “silent salesman”.

Cosmetics, foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals, detergents, drinks; products in vials, bottles, cases and jars, in turn packaged into boxes, packs and pallets for safe transport and storage. Behind all this are the selfadhesive or linerless labelling machine, working swiftly and with perfect synchronization together with other units of the production and packaging process. To decorate, mark and code each single product with data and expiry information.

An overwhelming job, if you think about it, but one which is reliably handled by the ultimate in high-tech equipment. Like ALTECH labellers: labelling machines, in line labelling systems for the most diverse packaging types imaginable, and label print&apply units.

ALTECH FP 2/14.indd 3

The background of ALTECH The first ALTECH labelling machine started production in September 1991. It was the result of the commitment of a small group of people whose joint intention was to produce innovative self-adhesive labelling machines. Advanced Labelling Technologies, ALTECH was the result.

Nowadays millions of self-adhesive labels are applied by ALTECH systems every day. From the factory in Bareggio, close to Milan, these labellers reach purchasers located in all five continents.

Industrial labellers, self-adhesive labelling machines, linerless systems, sleeve applicators, made up of simple labelling heads that can be integrated into existing packaging lines, or complete in-line systems equipped with conveyors and adjusting, orienting, spacing, checking, ejecting and sorting units which meet the customers’ most sophisticated production requirements. These are complemented by real-time print&apply systems, of which ALTECH is a leading, innovating company in the sector of material identification, codification and

traceability.

ALTECH self-adhesive labellers are versatile, flexible, reliable and performing, the result of its twenty-year experience as a curious, open and smart market player. A company relying on its expert staff and resources to continuously enhance the “Advanced Labelling Technologies” it was named after: ALTECH.

ALTECH mission In order to build excellent labelling systems, it is important to have ex-

12/02/14 11.25

SPECIAL

perience, organizational skills and the right know-how, to pay attention to detail and to have a passion for mechanics. Labelling machines are the final element of a packaging line and qualify the previous stages of the process by applying a label that will convey the image of that particular product. For this reason, their manufacturing technology plays a crucial role.

But those who turn to ALTECH for their requirements will also encounter the capacity to listen and learn, since the first impulse towards innovation often comes from an ongoing dialogue with customers and the market, a major challenge in the labelling machine industry.

“To solve labelling problems in an innovative way” is ALTECH’s tag line.

The value of ALTECH labelling machines Quality choices lie behind every ALTECH labelling machine, but they go well beyond Italian and international safety and production regulations (EC, UL, IQ/OQ, GAMP...). ALTECH utilizes only quality materials; high resistance alloys, stainless steel screws and extremely reliable electronic and pneumatic components supplied by world-class companies.

Each labelling machine has been designed, when possible and appropriate, to be modular and expandable. All elements can be readily accessed and are easy to disassemble. Every detail is always designed, controlled and codified, and every machine is supplied with diagrams and the list of relevant parts.

Suppliers are chosen according to strict criteria to ensure the reliability as well as the availability of their products throughout the world. The electronic parts have been designed so that all ALTECH industrial systems are user-friendly under any working conditions.

For each labelling machine manufactured by ALTECH, a specific technical file is created and stored in

ALTECH FP 2/14.indd 4

the company’s archive. It contains its designing criteria, components, and the outcome of the final tests carried out with the products provided by the customer. The machine is supplied with thorough documentation, including the relevant use and maintenance instructions and a catalogue of spare parts to provide support over time.

ALTECH Range and Solutions Decorate, inform, promote, codify, seal, identify. All this is possible by applying a label through the automatic application. With hundreds of solutions, all tested and reliable, automatic labeling machines ALTECH can do so easily through a system of automatic labeling inserted into the wrapping of products with precision and accuracy, resolving all issues related to the shape of goods or characteristics and performance of the packaging line. And if among these solutions there is none that serves the customer, it develops a special ALTECH’s to solve even the most complex problem of labeling.

Its standard range encompasses the following products: The ALstep labelling head is a compact-sized and low-cost applicator for self-adhesive labels, which can be easily integrated into already existing packaging lines. ALstep is based on a robust, reliable mechanical structure; it can be fitted into particularly restricted areas, also thanks to the side access web threading allowing a fast, easy label change over.

ALstep can hold label rolls up to 300 mm of diameter for a long operating time; it is equipped with a separate control box with cooling fan which makes it possible to operate it in harsh industrial environments.

ALstep comes in both S and M versions, for label widths up to 100 and 200 mm. respectively. Its maximum label dispensing speed is as high as 30 m/min. (20 m/min. in the M version) thanks to a microprocessorcontrolled stepper motor enabling the operator to enter all labelling parameters by means of the display

12/02/14 11.25

SPECIAL

and function keys. Such parameters are stored on EEPROM and automatically recalled by switching on the machine.

An E version is particularly cheap.

ALritma is a high performance selfadhesive label applicator designed to be integrated into packaging lines where production speed and reliability are primary needs. ALritma is based on an innovative mechanical structure which can match great sturdiness with versatility.

It is available in three versions, S, M and L, for label widths up to 100, 200 and 300 mm. respectively. The label driving group has been designed to exploit the stepper motor features to the full, by guaranteeing an accurate label positioning even at the highest production speeds; the side access has made the web threading easier.

The label applicator is controlled by a powerful microprocessor, with a display “Touch Screen”, which allow for the running of advanced

ALTECH FP 2/14.indd 5

functions by relieving the operator from complicated mechanical adjustments and considerably speeding up the format changeovers.

An ALritma X has been recently developed for extremely high performances.

The ALline is an in-line system which can be configured for the automatic labeling of cylindrical, elliptical or rectangular products; moreover, it can suit specific requirements, such as the application of tamper-proof seals or labelling of singularly shaped products.

All ALline linear labellers have equally been designed according to cutting edge designing criteria which, in strict compliance with CE regulations, make every machine suitable for even the harshest of conditions, guarantee great labelling accuracy even at high production speeds and feature a high degree of operatorfriendliness, as the start and change-over operations are particularly

simple and intuitive.

In more detail, ALline is based on the “built-in” philosophy, which means that all components are “included” in the structure/cabinet, well protected against dirt and accidental bumps. The grey (or stainless steel) structure is extremely sturdy and, thanks to its eye-catching design, it qualifies the whole packaging line.

ALcode units are systems for the printing/application of self-adhesive labels. They may be interfaced with a computer and can apply the just-printed label to both still and moving products. For label printing, ALcode can integrate the various thermal transfer engines made from the Japanese SATO (or compatible).

Which has specifically developed them for the use on automatic applicators: resolution of 8 or 12 dots/ mm., up to 300 mm/sec. of print speed, 4 “, 5 “ or 6 “ of printable width. In every ALcode print&apply

system, the mechanics, pneumatics and electronics have been suitably integrated to meet the typical requirements of machines operating in an industrial environment, which need to combine reliability, userfriendliness, accessibility, and interchange ability. A range of standard devices has been engineered for the application of labels, thus enabling ALcode to apply labels in any position and at any linear speed.

The ALpharma labelling systems have been specially devised by ALTECH for pharmaceutical products.

Based on the wide experience gained in designing its innovative labelling systems, which have proven extremely successful in all market sectors, ALTECH has developed the ALpharma line, whose particularly advanced features fully comply with the strict rules and regulations of the pharmaceutical industry.

The ALpharma models are: ALpharma A - for vials and small bottles. The labelling is performed from tray to tray, “in-the-star-wheel�. Up to 150 products/min ALpharma B - for shaped cases, with both bar code labels (tags, vignettes) and tamper evident angle labels folded along the flaps (up to 200 products/min). ALpharma C for in-line wrap-around labelling of

ALTECH FP 2/14.indd 6

small cylindrical bottles. Up to 250/ min ALmatic is a semiautomatic applicator of self-adhesive labels for cylindrical products. Its easy functioning provides for the manual loads of the product in the labelling position by the operator who activates the control lever. So ALmatic provides to the rotation of the product and to the application of the label till a completely happened adhesion. Thanks to the ergonomics of the system and to the presence of templates of comparison ALmatic allows an exact labelling, making easier the manual operations of the placing of the product.

ALsleeve is an automatically-operated system designed to apply plastic, heat shrink sleeves to provide body decoration and/or effective tamper evident seals on caps and lids for food, cosmetic and chemical products. Sleeves are obtained from a flat, continuous tubing made of heat shrinkable plastic material (PET, PVC, Polypropylene) wrapped in a roll, which is first cut at a programmable height (or at a specific mark) and then applied onto the product with a synchronized mechanism activated by a product tracing photocell.

ALTECH Service ALTECH machines are used in every industry field, from food to cosmetics, from pharmaceutics to chemistry. Today the company distributes its products on the Italian territory through a direct sale and service structure, whereas a network of 80 dealers, trained both in promotion and in technical service, provide a qualified distribution in 50 different countries in Europe and overseas.

All packed products such as food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics etc. need to be decorated, identified, sealed and marked, in order to meet the requirements for their sale, transportation, storage and handling in general. In the majority of cases the answer is a label, and usually an adhesive label.

That is why ALTECH systems are so well diffused, why we are often consulted and why our suggestions are often followed. Our Sale Agents are real consultants and our Distributors are trained and motivated professionals who are sensitive to customers’ problems and organized to satisfy customers from all points of view.

They know about logistics and packaging problems and they know the materials they are dealing with.

They can outline the best configuration for every labelling problem, matching the standard modules included in our catalogue in order to offer custom-made solutions, supplying nothing more, but above all nothing less than what is needed.

Once installed, an ALTECH labelling machine is serviced right through its life by expert technical staff that provides repairs and implementation, if required. This is how the success of our systems translates into success for our distributors, and benefit for our customers, in a synergic relationship of mutual cooperation.

RECYCLING: BOTTLE WASHING MACHINE.

At high production bottling rates, today must be a high degree of specialization of the related processes. The washing of recycled bottles, for example, is increasingly performed with technologically advanced machines.

I

n the beverage industry, the automatic washing of recycled bottles has now reached a high level of specialization. In this context, works AKOMAG, company located in Soragna (PR), able to offer a varied production, which includes bottle washing machine, rinsing machine, sterilizers for glass or PET bottles, crate washer and accessories to complement.

Very large is the choice of the washer, the potential of which obviously varies in base at the model, and the ranges it is from 100 to 50.000 bph.

The modular structure of all installations allows to gradually increase the functions and the level of sophistication, including special washing sections and sanitizing, automatic control of process parameters, security systems, energy recovery, reduction of discharges and automatic sanitization of the parties most important from the point of view of hygiene.

Start the washing.

At low production capacity, the range offer GENESI, available in very small dimensions in order to be inserted in any operating environment. Designed under the indication of the producers with low production capacities, the series has a simple but functional washing cycle, which lowers operating costs (water, energy, detergent) without negatively affecting cleaning bottles to recycle, the complete removal of the labels and their total evacuation outside. The particular ease of use and maintenance, increases productivity and reduces downtime.

The modularity of the GENESI series allows at the customer to “build a machine to measure” , adapting it from time to time to different types of use (water, wine, oil, beer, soft drinks).

Constructed in accordance with the Machinery Directive (CE), is equipped with all the accessories

needed for the proper functioning: a heat exchanger built with stainless steel tubes arranged geometrically to prevent the deposit of mud or various precipitation that would compromise the performance or, alternatively, a combustion chamber built with direct burner operation.

Safety guards and dust cover to protect the unloading of bottles; grouped grease; saving valve for the water network and automatic control of the presence of water in the last rinsing station; electronic speed control; electronic security on the main gearbox that stop the machine in case of overload; spray pumps with casing and impeller made in stainless steel AISI 316 and protective filters; valves for emptying the waste paper and spray tanks; control panel adjustable, made in stainless steel; IP55 electrical plant; gauges and thermometers in visual range of the operator; setting and control of all the machine by “touchscreen”. This are the main ameni-

ties that characterize the series.

The GENESI machine is also arranged for the introduction of detergent and liquid additives in the bath and in the detergent tank, disinfectants and other products in the spraying tanks.

Internal spraying (made with selfcleaning rotating nozzles) and external high pressure spraying are easily removable for routine cleaning and maintenance. The loading and unloading of bottles is completely automatic, and perfectly synchronized with the movement of the main chain.

Dry cycle.

To streamline the washing cycle , the company has realized the HYDRA series, a series of fully automatic machines which comprise a first station for emptying the bottles followed by pre-washing spraying and first pre-maceration bath.

This configuration helps to reduce the pollution of the detergent bath and reduce fuel consumption. The triple station for labels extracting ensures their complete detachment from used bottles, while the rotating filter displaced over the entire width of the machine ensures the evacuation outside.

The bottle washing is complete with indoor and outdoor spraying, which occurs with high-pressure cleaner distributed with rotating nozzles self-cleaning and self-centering. To complete rinsing, however, ensure the phase abatement alkalinity followed by spraying with external and internal water network.

Built according to the Machinery Directive (CE) also, the series has a different predispositions that increase safety, including: sensors for slowing down and eventually stopping the machine in case of failure or obstruction of bottles on conveyor; detergent introduction and liquid additives in the bath and other products in spray tanks; the

Akomag FP 2/14.indd 4

automatic loading and unloading of the bottles is perfectly synchronized with the movement of the main chain; the economizer valve for the water network and the automatic control of the presence of water on the last rinsing station.

Other amenities are important, as: automatic resetting of the chutes for loading and unloading bottles from the control panel; grouped grease; electronic variable speed with remote control (inverter); setting and control of all the machine by “touch-screen�; self-centering and self-cleaning rotating spray at high pressure; external spraying easily removable for cleaning and maintenance; valves for emptying baths and spraying tanks; control panel made in stainless steel; IP55 electrical plant; gauges and thermometers in visual range of the operator.

At the bottles unloading are arranged safety guards and dust protection. The electronic safety on every gearbox allows at the machine to stop in case of overload. The heat exchanger and pumps are always made in stainless steel.

tire wash cycle, verifying operation via control systems. The tubes of external washing are constructed so as to reduce maintenance to a minimum. But in case it will be necessary, the dismantling and cleaning are very simple. The regulation of the temperature in the tanks is automated through a modulating proportional pneumatic system, which offers a guarantee of accuracy and safety of operation. The main motor, oversized, ensures a long lasting efficiency by minimizing the mechanical wear. The electronic variable frequency allows to manage the main engines installed in HYDRA HP series via remote control. The automatic press for the collection of labels evacuated from the detergent bath is full of a recovery system of the detergent solution that accumulates in the pressing phase.

AKOMAG has dedicated several years to the creation of bottle washing machines and the high quality standard achieved by all its production, advanced technology and timely after-sales service, has allowed at this company to come in several primary and manufacturing with the certainty of having created a safe machinery and Quality for Various needs.

This undertaking was given by all its facilities, from design to engineering, from the search for the most innovative materials to the constant testing of the products in the works.

First time on show also for the T4 Modula, Tecnomeccanica’s new solution for packaging tea in filter bags. Last but not least, the company will present a complete packaging line for coffee capsules, which will consist of a series of fully integrated machines: the Qi for capsule filling and the MiniWrap. Such innovative packaging line will also include a cartoner and some state of the art solutions for industrial processing.

ACMA MACHINES T4Modula Designed and manufactured by Tecnomeccanica – the brand dedicated to the tea market – T4 Modula is AcmaVolpak’s new, medium-speed, tea bag machine.

ACMAVOLPACK FP 2/14.indd 3

It consists in a double chamber “knotted” packaging solution, particularly appreciated in worldwide markets as it guarantees users with the highest product authenticity and aroma. In addition to its performance in line with its category (T4 can package up to 250 bags per minute), this new solution by AcmaVolpak is particularly advanced in terms of sustainability and materials saving. The tea bag packaged by T4, which could be defined within the most beautiful in the world, is produced in non heat-sealed filter paper, it is 100% biodegradable and is closed without using any metal staple in order to better pre-

serve the genuineness of its content. An octagonal tag is placed on the front of the bag, while the string is attached underneath; these features make the tea bag aesthetically more pleasant and optimise brand visibility, thus supporting the customer’s marketing strategies.

Qi Qi is designed to fill rigid and semirigid capsules. It guarantees a high production rate (the line’s speed may be 140, 350 or 500 pieces per minute). Acma’s capsule processing machine, thanks to the design of the batchers on independent stations, guarantees maximum precision in

controlling the weight in the filling phase (the precision tolerance is less than 0.1 gr. per capsule). It is also pre-arranged for vacuum directly inside (in the configurations from 350 and 500 ppm), required to extend the product’s shelf life.

During the design phases, special attention was paid to reducing the consumption of capsule assembly materials; for example, initial tests on the material used to seal the upper part of the capsule (or insert the filter paper inside it) indicate a reduction in waste paper and savings of 48% (depending on the diameters) as opposed to the conventional machines. The central core of the system is its transfer unit, which develops horizontally; by exploiting the full perimeter of the machine, the overall spaces are minimized and the production flow can be set clockwise or anti-clockwise according to the layout requirements of the production area. This also means that it is possible to employ just a few operators on several machines who can supervise one or more lines.

M888 Patented multi style automatic wrapping machine, suitable for a wide range of pre-formed candies and chocolate products with flat bottom, it can handle also soft toffee like korovka. The multi style wrapper model M888 combines the benefit of continuous motion in-feed system, namely higher speed and sensitivity in handling the product during the first wrapping phases, with those of indexing motion, offering greater precision during the final wrapping process and high flexibility to move from one style to another. The wrapping style and size changeover can be accomplished in less than 60 minute. Thanks to the cantilevered architecture the M888 offers a very high accessibility for easy maintenance and cleaning. The machine can make the following packaging styles: bon bon viennoise, double twist, fancy, bunch and portfolio; gianduiotto is coming soon.

SP1 Acma is able to offer the market a full range of technologically leadingedge machinery that successfully fits into new or existent production lines to package loose and horizontally and vertically stacked products in single wrap or multipack format. Acma’s offer includes three different models of flow packers: SP0, SP1 and SP2, designed around four fundamental principles: performance, simplicity, flexibility and sustainability. Acma does not just commercialise wrapping machines, but is indeed able to provide its customers with distribution and infeed systems to manage product alignment and machine infeed, on one or more lines.

The modular distribution systems designed by Acma manages incoming products arranged in rows aligned by the process line with great efficiency.

Some automatic applications are also available to feed one or more packaging lines: for example: a biscuit or cracker packaging line can be divided, by feeding a first machine for packaging in stacks and a second for packaging in “slugs”.

By means of horizontal or vertical loaders, the product is subsequently transferred to the infeed system.

The machine infeed systems are driven by independent brushless motors and guarantee particularly delicate product handling, at the same time allowing easy access to the various components thanks to the cantilevered design, which translates into ease-of-use and hygiene simplicity. The flow packers of Acma SP series pack single products or multipacks at medium and high speeds, with hot or cold sealing system: the rotary sealing unit can also be supplied in the “Longdwell” version, which thanks to its traversing movement during the sealing phase, allows to process particularly resistant materials at high speed that have to guarantee

CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGIES FOR EFFICIENT LINE END

T

oday, energy is an increasingly valuable asset and, as such, companies that handle large bottling and packaging systems are paying more and more attention to how to use it, and choose high-efficiency and low power consumption machines.

When designing the line end solutions presented at Interpack in Düsseldorf (Stand 14D12), SMI kept in mind the needs of energy saving and environmental protection. In fact, SMI machines used for line end packaging are equipped with brushless motors without using geared motors; thanks to this choice, the production facilities have greater energy efficiency and consequently use up less electrical current.

The integrated “Packbloc” system displayed at Interpack 2014 for

SMI FP 2/14.indd 3

secondary packaging, obtained by joining a Smiflexi packer with a Smipal palletizer, is driven solely by high efficiency brushless motors (yield up to 98%), which ensure a marked reduction in electricity consumption, maintenance costs and noise levels. The conveyor belts used in the system are equipped with drives that regulate motor speed based on the machine’s actual operational needs. As such, they provide the system with only the amount of energy required at a given time and ensure savings of up to 35% on electricity consumption.

Smipal APS PLUS: the innovative “3 in 1” palletisation solution The compact “Packbloc” system on display at Smigroup’s stand no.

14D12 at Interpack 2014 brings

ahead the conceptual innovations presented at the latest edition of Drinktec. In fact, SMI engineers have further optimized the compactness and flexibility of this system, which, as concerns the line-end palletisation, uses the advanced technology of the new APS PLUS series by Smipal.

The main and most innovative feature of the APS PLUS palletisers is the integration in the machine’s fixed column of all the mechanical components taking care of the pallet layers construction, the empty pallets feeding operation and the interlayer pads insertion.

The following three components move on this column: the layer-loading head-holding cross beam, which performs vertical movements; the loading head (the so-called “basket”) that, thanks to a system of tel-

16/04/14 15.34

tecnoaliment_a4_ecobloc_en.indd 1

15/01/14 10.51

SPECIAL

escopic guides, performs rapid and accurate horizontal movements along the cross beam and, lastly, an articulated arm based on SCARA technology that performs both vertical and horizontal movements for feeding the empty pallets and inserting the interlayers.

The aforesaid articulated mechanical assembly is housed on one side of the central column, perpendicular to the one that houses the cross beam bearing the loading head; the SCARA arm performs vertical movements by sliding on the central column to pick up and release the pallets and the interlayers and moves horizontally in a range of 180° to transfer the pallets and interlayers from their magazines to the palletising pallet.

These operations are handled by the machine’s automation and control system in perfect synch with the operations performed by the layerloading head, so that the vertical and horizontal movements of the various mechanical units installed on the central column can follow precise and coordinated trajectories that prevent any contact or interference between them.

SMI FP 2/14.indd 4

Neat and logistically efficient end of line

New APS 1550 P PLUS automatic system

The new palletisers of the Smipal APS PLUS series adopt a number of design features that, compared to traditional solutions, have led to a significant reduction in the size and overall dimensions of the system. Furthermore, the integration of multiple functions (all housed in one central column) offers considerable advantages as far as operative flexibility, workplace safety and machine maintenance are concerned. Another advantage of the compact design of the APS PLUS systems is the option of concentrating the use of forklifts, transpallets, etc. in a well-defined zone, optimizing the management of the loading and unloading areas.

In fact, since the pallets and interlayers are handled on the same side of the palletiser, this does not interfere with the other activities of the production line.

With its compact size, the Smipal system can be easily installed also in bottling and packaging lines, the end line area of which is enclosed in cramped spaces.

Thesystem exhibited at Interpack 2014 integrates Smiflexi LWP 30 model wrap-around casepacker with an APS 1550 P PLUS palletising system. This allows you to minimize the conveyour belts that connect the two machines, save on the initial investment and limit running and maintenance costs of line end packaging systems. Another innovative aspect of the model exhibited at Interpack is made up of the machine inlet and the layer pre-formation system, consisting of a cadencing belt, a product insertion belt, which forms the row, and a one-way translation system that contributes to forming the layer. The layer is transferred from the belt to the loading head smoothly and precisely as it exploits the belt’s movement, and does not require the use of any mechanical layer translation components. Smipal’s new automatic system, designed according to FCR (Full Cost Reduction) methods, is pretested at the factory and delivered to the customer fully assembled and wired. Hence, the time required for start-up is minimized to the benefit of the management operations and scheduled system maintenance.

EUROPOOL ACULINE: SINGLE LINE ACCUMULATION CONVEYOR TO MANAGE ALL TYPES OF PRODUCTS.

E

uropool was established in Parma in 1993 in the heart of the Italian Food Valley, an area par excellence of the technology applied to the food, packaging and bottling industry. Europool’s mission is to provide a high standard of engineering for bottling and packaging lines. Europool seeks out the most advantageous solutions thanks to their technology and market solution know-how as well as the extensive experience of their team of engineers and technicians.

For each project Europool acts as

SEW EURODRIVE FP 2/14.indd 3

a technical office at the service of the customer in order to obtain solutions with definitive costs and times.

Europool offers the customer a global service: sourcing of suppliers and their quality control, coordination and direction even for subsidiary works, drawing up of systems plans, safety requirements and personnel training.

Description of Application: Managing machine intake and output flows, often high performance and high efficiency, sometimes in-

terfacing with pre-existing or third party devices which requires us to predict and prevent any critical issues in the product flow and at the same time to comply with maximum production flexibility.

This is possible thanks in part to the new Europool Aculine which is a single line accumulation conveyor equipped to manage all types of products.

In the event of problems on the line upstream this application accumulates the flow of bottles exiting the primary packaging machines without holding up production.

04/04/14 10.02

By means of a cart which is managed with positioning the bottles are conveyed in serpentine transport which can be of variable length depending on the needs of the line.

Once the problem is resolved, the accumulated product is returned to the line at a speed sufficient to clear the accumulated product, ready for storage.

Needs of the customer: 1) Complete automation solution from a single supplier 2) Modularity of the machine 3) Reduction of the number of product codes / Improved service and warehouse management costs 4) Energy savings 5) Electrical panel reduction 6) Cabling costs reduction 7) Reduction of start-up and optimisation times / costs

Description of the solution: We decided to provide a solution complete with the whole machine: 1) The supervisor part is managed through operator panel SEW DOP11B-30 to read the line speeds, bottles accumulated and machine

fault management.

2) Control of the entire machine process is managed with the SEW PLC MoviPlc DHF41B board with standard IEC 61131-3 programming.

This board allows management of all the SEW automation products (Movigear / Brushless) as well as all the sensor components for bottle counting or accumulation management.

3) The bottle conveyor belts are moved with the mechanatronics Movigear B system which includes inverter, brushless motor and parallel axis reducer in one product. This product provides a series of advantages: IE4 energy efficiency, reduction of installed power, creation of a line with a limited number of codes thanks to the fact that it allows a high range of speeds, managing up to 250% of the rated torque in the

take-off phase.

All the machine sensors are connected to the GIO11B boards which reside on the Movigear for remote digital intake and output management, significantly reducing cabling times / costs.

4) Positioning of the accumulation trolley was managed with the ECR Movigear B version with built in encoder.

5) The linear motion of the belts is synchronised by means of a SEW PLC board with the rotary motion of the belts used for transfer of the bottles onto the accumulation belt.

This rotary motion is generated by two servo geared motors controlled

by SEW Movidrive actuation.

Conclusion: Compared to standard solutions the following advantages were obtained: 1) The installed power was cut in half from 11KW to 5.5KW. 2) Absorption was reduced by 50% 3) The entire machine was created with only 6 codes, including the electrical panel.

RPC DELIVERS A WEALTH OF CONVENIENCE SOLUTIONS

T

he term ‘convenience’ can mean many things in food packaging – functionality and easy handling, microwavability, easy opening and closing, and ‘eating on the go’ are all obvious examples. But convenience can also refer to extending the shelf life of products or ensuring their safe handling in a busy kitchen environment.

For these requirements and more, plastic has few equals. Its many convenience benefits have been invaluable both in helping to develop market sectors and to launch new products. The variety of pots and tubs created for dips, salads and all types of snacking on the move, and the introduction of high barrier squeezy sauce bottles are just two examples.

Barrier technology in particular has opened up a whole new market for extended ambient shelf life convenience products such as ready meals, sauces, soups, fruit desserts, nuts, vegetable spreads, dairy products and pickles.

What’s more, plastic technology has the flexibility to offer different processes to meet the needs of different product types.

Europe’s leading rigid plastics packaging supplier RPC Group uses all three of the major plastic manufacturing techniques – thermoforming, blow moulding and injection moulding – to provide tailored packaging solutions for individual product characteristics or branding requirements, for example the need for reclosability, intricate eye-catching designs, or a large family-size pack.

Two solutions from RPC for Heinz’s famous Baked Beans demonstrate the flexibility of barrier plastics to meet different market requirements. A 1kg blow moulded jar is being used for the Fridge Pack, which combines extended shelf life with portion control - once opened the jar can be resealed and stored in the fridge for up to five days. Meanwhile, thermoforming produces the popular Snap Pots,

RPC FP 2/14.indd 3

which provide convenient microwavable individual portions.

Plastics’ design flexibility is another key factor in the material’s success. RPC Barrier Containers recently developed a long shelf life ambient packaging solution for a range of ready meals produced

by French foodservice specialist Soulié Restauration, part of the William Saurin Group. The barrier pack provides a shelf life of up to 18 months for the ready-toheat typical French recipes.

The custom-designed tub and lid have been created to resemble a traditional casserole pot and are coloured red or yellow depending on the product. The eye-catching colours and innovative design help to create on-shelf impact and brand differentiation in a highly competitive market sector.

Such design flexibility is not restricted to bespoke pack designs. RPC Superfos’s SuperLock® containers combine an oxygen barrier on all surfaces with a membrane seal to ensure an almost nonexistent oxygen transmission rate. This provides an ambient shelf life of up to 24 months for a wide range of products.

The innovative in-mould label which in-

corporates the barrier also offers high quality printing to create outstanding and eye-catching graphics that deliver effective brand identity and on-shelf appeal on crowded retail shelves.

Another standard container solution from RPC Bebo Plastik is meeting the dual needs of the convenience of re-closing and the reassurance of tamper-evidence for a variety of spreadable products such as cheese, margarine and butter.

The new Bebo Swing incorporates a unique perforation process which ensures easy opening. The re-closable lid can be hinged or fully removed. The lid is welded to the tub through ultrasonic welding.

The result of all these convenience and design benefits is that plastic is replacing more traditional materials for many food packing applications. For example, Bornholms, a market leader in seafood in Scandinavia, is converting most of its packaging solutions from cans to plastic packs from RPC Superfos, citing the benefits of improved logistics, user-friendliness and a shelf life of two years under ambient temperatures.

RPC Superfos has developed a series of

10/04/14 10.04

SPECIAL

four types of packaging with an entirely new oxygen barrier solution, created especially for Bornholms. Under ambient temperatures, the shelf life is two years.

Bornholms says the conversion has enabled it to increase the filling speed, reduce the cost of the packaging material and optimise logistics. Another very positive effect has been the reduced carbon footprint.

Material conversion has also been seen frequently in the busy kitchen environment where multilayer plastic has long been considered a safe and more modern packaging solution. In collaboration with RPC, Citres Spa, the Italian food specialist in pickles, pesti and sauces, is pioneering the supply of its products in new polypropylene jars.

With a major focus of its turnover in Northern Europe, Citres Spa has developed a plan to meet the needs of customers in markets which for some time have restricted and in certain cases banned the use of glass in foodservice kitchens, requiring instead the introduction of more ecological, safe and lightweight jars.

The company has therefore worked with RPC to develop a solution that meets its requirements for long shelf life (up to 36 months), lightness, resealability, recyclability and easy opening, while maintaining the freshness and authenticity of the products. The RPC jars all feature a multilayer PP/EVOH/PP construction that can be pasteurised and sterilised to provide a long ambient shelf life.

Following the success of its multilayer

bottles and jars for glass replacement, RPC Corby has now also launched modern plastic alternatives to the tin can and composite pack.

Both the Apollo and Artemis containers combine extended ambient shelf life, featuring a PP/EVOH/PP multilayer structure for the effective protection against oxygen ingress, with all the established lightweight, easy handling and safety benefits of plastics. They also offer the convenience of re-closing.

The 380ml Apollo is suitable for a variety of food processes including hot fill, retort and pasteurising, and offers an attrac-

ucts such as nuts, instant coffee and infant milk formula.

The high barrier material structure protects products against moisture and oxygen (and has the option of a UV-light inhibitor), meaning there is no need for the product to be bagged inside the container.

The many convenience benefits of plastics also offer important environmental advantages. Lighter containers save on raw material usage and reduce the carbon footprint of transportation, while reclosable packs and extended shelf life do much to help reduce food wastage.

tive, fluted design in the same diameter as a can, with full sleeving and labelling options to create effective branding and on-shelf appeal. It is also stackable to maximise shelf space.

The Artemis jar meanwhile offers a practical and convenient solution for a variety of dried, powdered and granulated prod-

Such a variety of pack solutions for a wealth of different products underlines plastics’ strength and versatility.

Indeed, given its design flexibility, sustainability benefits and convenience, it is hard to imagine what the food market would be like today without plastic packaging.

RPC BIETET EINE FÜLLE VON CONVENIENCE-LÖSUNGEN

I

n der Lebensmittelverpackung trägt der Begriff „Convenience“ (gleichbedeutend mit „praktischer Nutzen“ oder „praktische Vorteile“) vielerlei Bedeutung – Funktionalität und Anwenderfreundlichkeit, Aufwärmen in der Mikrowelle, einfaches Öffnen und Schließen sowie Essen „on the Go“

RPC FP 2/14.indd 4

sind einleuchtende Beispiele. Allerdings kann sich Convenience auch auf verlängerte Haltbarkeit von Produkten oder deren sichere Handhabung in betriebsamen Küchen beziehen.

Was diese und weitere Anforderungen angeht, suchen Kunststoffe ihresgleichen. Ihre vielen praktischen Vortei-

le sind sowohl bei der Erschließung von Marktsektoren als auch bei der Einführung neuer Produkte von hohem Wert. Die Vielfalt der für Dips, Salate und allerlei Snacks „on the Go“ kreierten Behälter und Becher und die Einführung von zusammendrückbaren Hochbarriereflaschen für Soßen sind nur zwei die-

10/04/14 10.04

SPECIAL

sbezügliche Beispiele.

Insbesondere die Barrieretechnologie eröffnet einen komplett neuen Markt für bei Raumtemperatur länger haltbare Convenience-Produkte wie Fertigmahlzeiten, Soßen, Suppen, Fruchtdesserts, Nüsse, pflanzliche Aufstriche, Molkereiprodukte und Sauerkonserven.

Aufgrund ihrer Flexibilität bietet die Kunststofftechnologie zudem vielfältige, auf verschiedene Produkttypen abgestimmte Verfahren.

Als Europas führender Anbieter von starren Kunststoffverpackungen nutzt die RPC Group die drei führenden Kunststoffherstellungsverfahren – Thermoformen, Blasformen und Spritzguss – für Verpackungslösungen nach Maß.

Dabei werden individuelle Produkteigenschaften oder Branding-Anforderungen berücksichtigt, zum Beispiel die Notwendigkeit der Wiederverschließbarkeit, komplexe und auffallende Designs oder große Familienpackungen.

Zwei Lösungen von RPC für die berühmten Baked Beans von Heinz beweisen die Flexibilität von Barrierekunststoffen, wenn es gilt, unterschiedlichen Marktanforderungen gerecht zu werden. Ein blasgeformter 1-kg-Behälter wird für die Kühlschrankpackung (Fridge Pack) verwendet, wobei verlängerte Haltbarkeit und Portionskontrolle unter einen Hut gebracht werden – nach dem Öffnen kann der Behälter wieder verschlossen und bis zu fünf Tage lang im Kühlschrank aufbewahrt werden. Indes gehen aus dem Thermoformen die beliebten Snap Pots hervor, die praktische, in der Mikrowelle aufwärmbare Einzelportionen bieten.

Die gestalterische Flexibilität von Kunststoffen ist ein weiterer wichtiger Faktor für ihren Erfolg. RPC Barrier Containers entwickelte kürzlich eine bei Raumtemperatur lange haltbare Verpackungslösung für ein Sortiment an Fertigmahlzeiten des französischen Foodservice-Spezialisten Soulié Restauration, einem Unternehmensbereich der William Saurin Group. Die Barrierepackung gewährleistet bis zu 18-monatige Haltbarkeit der aufwärmbereiten, typisch französischen Rezepte.

RPC FP 2/14.indd 5

Der spezielle Becher mitsamt Deckel ähnelt einer traditionellen Kasserolle und ist je nach Produkt rot oder gelb gefärbt. Die auffälligen Farben und das innovative Design stechen im Ladenregal ins Auge und gewährleisten die Markendifferenzierung in einem hart umkämpften Marktsektor.

Diese gestalterische Flexibilität beschränkt sich nicht auf Verpackungsdesigns nach Maß.

SuperLock®-Behälter von RPC Superfos verbinden eine Sauerstoffbarriere auf allen Oberflächen mit einer Membrandichtung, um fast völlige Sauerstoffundurchlässigkeit zu gewährleisten.

Und das Ergebnis? Ein breites Produktspektrum, das bei Raumtemperatur 24 Monate haltbar ist.

Das Innovative, die Barriere enthaltenden In-Mould-Label ermöglichen zudem hochwertiges Bedrucken … für hervorragende und ins Auge fallende Grafiken, die in dicht gedrängten Regalen eine attraktive, effektive Markenidentität vermitteln.

Eine weitere standardmäßige Behälterlösung von RPC Bebo Plastik schlägt zwei Convenience-Fliegen mit einer Klappe: einerseits Wiederverschließbarkeit und andererseits Originalitätssicherung bei unterschiedlichsten streichfähigen Erzeugnissen wie Käse, Margarine und Butter.

Neu ist Bebo Swing: hier gewährleistet ein einzigartiges Perforationsverfahren das einfache Öffnen. Der wiederverschließbare Deckel wird klappbar oder abnehmbar gestaltet. Der Deckel ist

durch Ultraschallschweißung mit dem Becher verbunden.

Das Ergebnis all dieser Convenienceund Design-Vorteile ist, dass Kunststoff traditionelle Materialien bei zahlreichen Lebensmittelverpackungsanwendungen ablöst.

Beispielsweise stellt Bornholms, ein Marktführer für Fischprodukte in Skandinavien, die meisten seiner Verpackungslösungen von Dosen auf Kunststoffbehälter von RPC Superfos um. Als Gründe hierfür werden verbesserte Logistik, Anwenderfreundlichkeit und zwei Jahre Haltbarkeit bei Raumtemperatur angeführt.

RPC Superfos entwickelte insgesamt vier Verpackungsarten mit einer völlig neuen Sauerstoffbarrierelösung speziell für Bornholms. Bei Raumtemperatur ist zweijährige Haltbarkeit gegeben.

Eigenen Angaben zufolge konnte Bornholms – durch die Umstellung – die Abfüllgeschwindigkeit erhöhen, die Kosten des Verpackungsmaterials senken und die Logistik optimieren.

Ein weiterer sehr positiver Effekt ist die verbesserte Klimabilanz.

Auch in betriebsamen Küchen, in denen mehrlagiger Kunststoff seit Langem als sichere und moderner Verpackungslösung gilt, hat sich häufig eine Materialumstellung vollzogen. In Abstimmung mit RPC setzt Citres Spa, ein italienischer Spezialist für sauer eingelegtes Gemüse, Pesto-Varianten und Soßen, auf neue Behälter aus PP. Im Mittelpunkt steht der Absatz in den nordeuropäischen Ländern. Er

10/04/14 10.04

SPECIAL

führte Citres Spa dazu, sich über die Erwartungen von Kunden in Märkten Gedanken zu machen, in denen der Einsatz von Glas im Gastronomie- und Großküchenbereich zum Teil eingeschränkt oder sogar untersagt ist.

Folglich sind auf solchen Märkten nachhaltige, sichere Behälter mit geringem Eigengewicht an der Tagesordnung. Daher hat sich das Unternehmen gemeinsam mit RPC mit der Entwicklung einer Lösung befasst, die über eine lange Haltbarkeit (bis zu 36 Monaten) im Regal hinaus mit folgenden Eigenschaften aufwartet: geringes Eigengewicht, Wiederverschließbarkeit, Recyclingfähigkeit und leichtes Öffnen. Gleichzeitig sollten die Behälter weiterhin Frische und die traditionsbetonte Positionierung vermitteln.

Alle eingesetzten Behälter von RPC zeichnen sich durch einen mehrschichtigen PP/EVOH/PP-Aufbau aus. Sie können pasteurisiert und sterilisiert werden, zwei Voraussetzungen für eine lange Haltbarkeit bei Raumtemperatur.

Aufgrund des Erfolges seiner mehrlagigen Glasersatz-Flaschen und

-Behälter hat RPC Corby jetzt auch moderne Kunststoffalternativen zur Weißblechdose und Verbundpackung eingeführt. Die Apollo- und ArtemisBehälter zeichnen sich durch verlängerte Haltbarkeit bei Raumtemperatur und einen mehrschichtigen PP/EVOH/ PP-Aufbau für den wirksamen Schutz vor Sauerstoffeintrag aus. Hinzu kommen alle von Kunststoffen gebotenen Pluspunkte wie geringes Gewicht, einfache Handhabung und Sicherheit und – nicht zuletzt – die praktische Wiederverschließbarkeit.

Der 380 ml fassende Apollo-Behälter eignet sich für eine Vielzahl von Lebensmittelverfahren einschließlich Heißabfüllung, Retortenbehandlung und Pasteurisierung und bietet ein attraktives, geriffeltes Design mit demselben Durchmesser wie eine Dose sowie umfassende Sleeving- und Etikettierungsmöglichkeiten für effektives Branding und Attraktivität im Regal. Zur optimalen Nutzung des Regelraums ist er auch stapelbar. Der Artemis-Behälter hingegen bietet eine praktische Convenience-Lösung für eine Vielzahl

von getrockneten, pulverförmigen und körnigen Produkten: als Beispiele seien Nüsse, löslicher Kaffee und Babymilchpulver genannt. Das Hochbarrierematerial-Gefüge schützt Produkte vor Feuchtigkeit und Sauerstoff (optional ist ein UV-Licht-Inhibitor möglich), weshalb das Produkt keine Beutel innen im Behälter erfordert.

Die zahlreichen praktischen Vorteile von Kunststoffen bieten auch wichtige Umweltvorteile. Leichtere Behälter sparen Rohstoffe und verbessern die Klimabilanz im Hinblick auf den Transport, wogegen wiederverschließbare Packungen und verlängerte Haltbarkeit einen wesentlichen Beitrag zu reduzierter Lebensmittelverschwendung leisten.

Derart vielfältige Verpackungslösungen für eine Fülle von verschiedenen Produkten unterstreichen die Solidität und Vielseitigkeit von Kunststoffen.

Angesichts ihrer gestalterischen Flexibilität, Nachhaltigkeit und Convenience ist kaum vorstellbar, wie der heutige Lebensmittelmarkt ohne Kunststoffverpackungen aussehen würde.

THE C.R.S.I. DRYER FOR FOOD INDUSTRY

D

rying is the oldest system to preserve food. Open air drying using sun and wind has been practiced since ancient times. Industrial equipments can ensure more consistent results speeding the process, improving quality and reducing costs.

In addition to this dryers are used for the treatment of additives, essences, dyes, and in general all industrial products utilized in food processing.

Given the breadth of the field of application, the type of machines is very variable and ranges from the little tunnel used by the farmer for local production of high quality dried food up to the big belt conveyor dryer or fluidized bed for the large scale food industry.

According to the principle of operation and to products treated we can distinguish the following “families” of dryers.

Tunnel dryers model LIBECCIO and GHIBLI The process performed in the tunnel dryer is the closest system to the natural sun drying.

Material to be dried is placed on trays and closed into an insulated “room” with controlled air flow and temperature. Trays can be fixed or, usually, resting on wheeled carts.

The drying time ranges from 6 to 48 hours according to the product.

Size of the machine is defined by the useful drying surface and varies from 10 to 860 m2. Capacity depends on the product that can be loaded at a rate of 5-20 Kg per square meter.

Substances to eliminate pests and melds can be added to the air flow.

This kind of dryers is used for fruit and vegetables. Little and sophisticated models are

C.R.S.I. FP 2/14.indd 3

dedicated to sensitive and expensive materials like medicinal herbs and saffron.

Belt conveyor dryers model ETL They are single or multiple belts dryers having from 5 up to 500 sq\m. useful surface, fitted with high efficiency ventilation system and intermediate reheating of the drying air if required. The dryer ETL is continuous, fully automatic equipment suitable for medium and large productions.

It consists of one or more perforated strips on witch the product, loaded with continuity, moves at a constant speed. The drying is produced by a stream of air passing through tape and product. Part of the circulating air is extracted by a fan and replaced by an equally amount of hot air. The entire system is divided into standard “zones” that differ in the direction of the air flow. Temperature, air flow and relative moisture of air are controlled by the automatic control system. Such kind of dryers is used for sliced fruit or vegetables like apples, carrots, onions, spinach, or herbs and flower like chamomile

material creating the so called “fluidized bed” A slow blender moves the whole mass in such a way that is homogeneously invested by the air. Filter bags are placed over the drying chamber to avoid dust pollution. The working principle is simple and is based on the exposition of the product to a direct hot air stream. The air in contact with the product gives it part of its internal energy. This causes the water evaporation and, at the same time, the reduction of air temperature.

Material can be loaded batch wise (TS type) or continuously, and discharged batch wise (TS, TS PULSE) or continuously. This system guarantees the higher performances and efficiency, and can be utilized for light particles, dust or paste.

Fluidized bed dryers model TS, TS PULSE, and TSA.

Fast drying type Flash and Turboflash

The dryer consist of a cylindrical body (the diameter range from 0,4 to 5 meters and even more) that is divided in two parts by a special tray provided with patented shaped blades. They produce a lot of fast air’s blades such to hold in suspension the product alternated to as many zones of relative calm. The air flow accelerated by the drying tray blades surround and lifts the drying

Some materials are sensible to the temperature. Such kind of materials can be dried with hot air but reducing the time of treatment to few minutes or seconds. In the “flash” technique the air flow carries and dries the product in a single and quick passage. In particular the turboflash realizes a swirl of hot air that lift and dry the product (usually dust or little crystals, like flour or

Constructively the TSF looks similar to TS family using the same patented drying tray to separate the inlet air chamber to the drying chamber.

Difference is the speed of the process and the extraction system of exhaust air that allow adjusting the residence time of dust inside the dryer.

APPLICATION EXAMPLE: TS PULSE DRYER FOR GREATED CHEESE As, and more than other foods, the cheese is an alive product. The drying’s plant doesn’t have only to reduce moisture but also to preserve the aspect, the colour and the taste of the product. The time of treatment has to be brief, to avoid the “cooking” of the material, and this eliminates in prior all the systems to indirect exchange. The air that produce the drying has however to be attentively dosed. A too elevated quantity of air, in fact, makes the product “rough” and undesirable to the palate. For this reason the flash technique cannot be applied.

The best choice is so the TS dryer that is loaded directly from the graters. The drying time is 30-40 min-

Standard capacity ranges from 1000 to 2000 kg/h.

APPLICATION EXAMPLE: ETL 40/2001 FOR CARROTS PELLETS

Domestic breadcrumbs are obtained by slow natural drying of waste bread. But for industrial application fresh bread is realized exactly for this purpose and must be quickly dried. The process must be continuous. Both Turboflash and TSA dryer are applicable but TSA allow treating bigger particles and for this reason is preferred. The capacity of the most common plants ranges from 400 to 800 Kg/h of fresh material

After the extraction of juice, carrots are a paste still containing sugar fibres and vitamins that can be useful as flour for industrial application. The product is sticky and delicate and requires a long drying time at low temperature. The ETL dryer allow to reduce the moisture contents from about 85% to less than 5% without damage or colour changes.

APPLICATION EXAMPLE: TSF DRYER FOR FLOUR

Dates require a long process before to be packed and sent around the world. At first is necessary to eliminate any possible ants, and, at the same time dry them to a very little value of moisture, allowing the storage. Naturally the product so treated is hard like a stone and requires to be dehydrated before packing using steam. The dryer LIBECCIO allow making all this operations with a single machine.

The natural moisture contents of flour are around 16%, but it has to reduce at 13 % of moisture, or less.

ISHIDA TAKES HYGIENE TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL

I

shida Europe’s newest range of multihead weighers, the RV Series, has been independently certified as having a market-leading level of water and dust ingress protection for its WP waterproof models. This makes the weighers ideal for all types of fresh and frozen food applications, which require regular wash downs between shifts.

IP rating tests were carried out at a leading UK independent testing centre, which proved that the Ishida RV’s design and assembly consistently comply with the highest industry standards. These relate to dust and water ingress resistance, including the most stringent IP-69K test. This compliance means the weighers are more water resistant than ever before and are perfectly suited in applications where equipment has to be thoroughly sanitized.

In addition, the RV-WP range is also certified for IP-6X (dust tight), IP-X5 (protected against water jets), IP-X6 (against powerful water jets) and IP-X7 (protected against temporary immersion).

All tests were in accordance with BS EN 60529:1992 and Ishida believes it is the first company in its sector to have these tests completed and ratings successfully awarded by an official external body.

The RV-WP models incorporate a number of design features to prevent water ingress and facilitate fast and easy cleaning. These include upgraded seal and gasket designs, and enhanced manufacturing assembly processes with increased fixing points for uniformed gasket compression. The machines are also supplied with angled surfaces for rapid wash down and run off (ensuring faster drying times) and reduced crevices in bushings and hoppers, which helps to eliminate bacteria traps. As a result, the weighers offer maximum hygiene while minimising downtime for cleaning.

“The successful compliance of these tests strongly demonstrates that our RV-WP specification machines are rigorously engineered for waterproof protection,” comments Nigel Smith, Ishida Europe’s Multihead Weigher Applications Specialist.

“Scrupulous hygiene standards are essential for any fresh or frozen food operation but if a weigher is out of service for too long for cleaning, this can have a negative effective on production throughput and targets. Our RV-WP range has therefore not only been designed to be tough enough to handle anything during production but also to be able to withstand a thorough clean in the fastest possible time.”

PFM GROUP INNOVATION AND DIVERSIFICATION

The new D-Series: the fruit of three years’ design, planning and testing

T

he PFM Group are now making their entry into the pouch sector with the new D-Series.

This range of Horizontal Form Fill and Seal Machines produces the highly successful Stand-Up Pouches, which are becoming extremely popular in a large number of different food, nonfood and beverage industries.

Innovation and diversification are the precepts that have inspired the PFM Group’s strategies over the last few years and the D-Series was developed precisely with these in mind: a machine unparalleled on the market in terms of features and performance, the fruit of three years’ design, planning and testing by companies in the PFM Group.

The PFM D-Series Full Servo produces a vast range of stand-up pouches with

relative accessories for powder, granular, dense and liquid products; the D-Series’ applied technology has enabled it to successfully overcome the most common problems encountered in producing pouches (easy format change, accessibility and hygiene) and is aimed at narrowing the gap between the machine and operators deriving from its complex use. The machine produces flat or stand –up packages, shaped on upper and/or lateral sides, with zip or central/lateral cap. The machine is supplied complete with a wide range of optionals for modified atmosphere packaging and various dosing systems for liquid and dense products.

“With the D-Series,” Andrea Fioravanti, Research and Development Director, has announced, “PFM have speeded up innovation by allocating over 3% of

their turnover to research and development. The PFM D-Series is a range of extremely innovative machines that demonstrates PFM’s experience in using state-of-the-art mechatronic technologies for processing flexible film.

The D-Series opens up new horizons in the pouch sector by offering the opportunity to modify times, sealing pressure and cutting pitch from the recipe; it comes complete with selfdiagnostic alarm systems and offers easy maintenance and sanitisation, high performance and easy format changeover. The PFM D-Series brings total innovation to the industry: it facilitates operators in every sense thereby allowing higher production rates to be achieved through its excellent overall performance and extremely short format changeover times”.

Format Changeover: one of the procedures at the heart of the packaging pro cess has been rendered extremely simple and fast for any operator.

Simple: all the machine’s functions and parameters are extremely easy to

programme, even by unskilled operators.

Accessible: the Full Side Access construction concept enables all the parts of the machine to easily be reached for sanitisation and maintenance operations.The dosing area can be closed with side walls to allow direct cleaning.

MINI MOTOR: GET BIGGER

BY THINKING SMALLER.

In 2014, the company is updating its range of products, expanding its sales in foreign markets, and renewing its partnership with Studer, the leading brand of grinding machines.

M

ini Motor’s success today is still based on its founder’s original insight: get the best performance and efficiency from much smaller gear motors than those sold by its competitors. And why? Fewer installation problems for customers and more potential applications for Mini Motor gear motors in different fields of manufacturing. That was in 1974 and this initial idea took the company a long way, backed by a manufacturing philosophy that went against the flow: put the focus on absolute product quality, designing and making motors and gear units entirely in-house.

MINI MOTOR FP 2/14.indd 3

Subsequent developments in technology applied to automation was an ultimate boost for Mini Motor’s production: by adopting robotic machines, it was not only able to increase its production volumes and continue to expand its range, it was also able to perfect the accuracy of its controls applied at every stage of the manufacturing process.

In more recent years, Mini Motor has prepared an ISO 8 Clean Room (category 100000) so it can make special production runs in small quantities in decontaminated conditions: another step forward to increasingly enhanced product customisation and bespoke customer service.

1 million motors in 40 years.

As 2013 came to a close, on the eve of its 40th anniversary, the first gear motor with a six-digit serial number came off Mini Motor’s production line. Passing this goalpost naturally prompts a moment of reflection as regards the corporate values that made this possible. For Mini Motor, these values are reflected in superior build quality that starts with choosing the best materials; in absolute operating precision to guarantee constantly excellent performance, and in superior efficiency for optimum performance matched by reduced consumption. These values are described in Mini Motor’s

03/04/14 11.52

corporate video, available to view on its website. However, there is also a fourth value revolving around the concept of customisation. Because, Mini Motor’s mission continues to focus on supplying bespoke products capable of meeting specific demands in terms of dimensions, challenging applications, extreme temperature conditions, and anything else above and beyond the standard products available on the market.

A new range in the name of innovation.

Mini Motor current range has tens of thousands of different product codes, with different types of equipment, various power ranges and reduction ratios, types of connection, different degrees of protection and options. Other variables also come into play depending on

MINI MOTOR FP 2/14.indd 4

the specific demand that each product was designed to handle, such as special paints, increased power ratings, etc.

Mini Motor decided to organise this vast number of product codes by dividing its range into four main categories: coaxial gear motors, worm screw gear motors, brushless servomotors and drivers.

The new XC Series of worm screw gear motors provide 1 Hp maximum power even if they are just 288 mm long. They are 30% smaller than competing motors providing similar power, but offer 20% better performance. The standard versions offer IP65 protection but an IP67 version is also available on request.

The new DBS brushless servomotors with integrated driver is the true “flagship” of Mini Motor’s production: the servomotor and driver have been made into a single, exceptionally compact product, ideal for product changeover systems. The three-phase 4-pole sinusoidal motor is completely enclosed, with a thermal safety feature, class F winding, and IP65 protection. The DBS55 version has a 55 mm flange and torque up to 0.7 Nm. The driver has a 24 to 48 Vdc power supply and has an absolute, multi-turn SSI magnetic encoder, enabling control of torque, speed, position and homing. The optionals include the DP profibus.

Planetary or worm screw versions of the reduction unit are available.

Its other products include the new MCBS and MCFBS brushless servo gear motors - the latest development in worm screw gear motors- and the new Miniaction range of drivers and frequency converters offering an outstanding performance / price ratio.

Joining forces with Studer for uncompromising precision.

Mini Motor has again turned to a Studer automatic machine to safeguard the utmost grinding accuracy of its gear units. The new unit is called the S22 and can undertake traditional cylinder grinding on the production line, as well as grinding shapes and threads at high speed (HSP), ideal for the production at Mini Motor that not only demands high quality, it is also large scale and has to be “flexible”. On its side, Mini Motor played an important part in the engineering of the S22 by giving it an extra automatic function, enabling the straightening of all the gears directly in the production line after they have undergone heat processing and before they undergo cylinder grinding.

By confirming its confidence in the Swiss brand Studer, Mini Motor is underlining its intention to keep its entire production cycle in-house, with the aim of guaranteeing the “absolute quality” that is acknowledged by Mini Motor customers all over the world.

er Erfolg von Mini Motor beruht nach wie vor auf der ursprünglichen Intuition des Gründers: Mit im Vergleich zur Konkurrenz sehr viel kleineren Getriebemotoren hohe Leistungen und Performance erzielen. Und was ergibt sich daraus? Für den Kunden weniger Installationsprobleme und für Mini Motor mehr Anwendungsmöglichkeiten für die Getriebemotoren in verschiedenen Branchen.

Man schrieb das Jahr 1974 und diese von einer gegen den Trend laufenden Fertigungsphilosophie unterstützte Intuition sollte das Unternehmen weit bringen: Im eigenen Haus und mit Blick auf die absolute Produktqualität Motoren und Getriebe planen sowie herstellen.

MINI MOTOR FP 2/14.indd 6

Dank der Entwicklung von Automatisierungstechnologien erfuhr die Produktion im Hause Mini Motor einen entscheidenden Impuls. Der Einsatz von robotisierten Maschinen ermöglichte dem Unternehmen die Steigerung der Produktionsmengen und eine stete Erweiterung des Produktangebots sowie eine ver-

besserte Präzision der Ansteuerung in allen Fertigungsphasen.

In den letzten Jahren hat Mini Motor einen Reinraum ISO 8 (Klasse 100000) eingerichtet, durch den nun dekontaminierte Sonderproduktionen mit geringen Stückzahlen möglich sind und dies ist ein weiterer Schritt in Richtung immer mehr auf den Kunden abgestimmter Produkte und Dienstleistungen.

40 Jahre und 1 Million Motoren.

Gegen Ende des Jahres 2013 – am Vorabend des 40-jährigen Bestehens – baute Mini Motor den ersten Getriebemotor mit einer siebenstelligen Seriennummer. Dieses Ergebnis gibt Anstoß dazu, über die Firmenwerte nachzudenken, die es

Für Mini Motor konkretisieren sich diese Werte in der sehr hohen Fertigungsqualität, die bei der Wahl der Werkstoffe beginnt, in der absoluten Betriebspräzision, die eine hohe und konstante Performance gewährleistet, und in der hochwertigen Effizienz, die höhere Leistungen bei zugleich geringen Verbrauchswerten ermöglicht. Ergänzt werden diese drei Werte – die im OnlinePräsentationsvideo von Mini Motor deutlich aufgezeigt sind – durch einen vierten Wert: Das Konzept der Anpassung an die Kundenanforderungen. All dies, damit im Sinne der Leitlinie von Mini Motor weiterhin Ad-hoc-Lösungen geliefert werden, welche die besonderen Anforderungen hinsichtlich Größe, Anwendungsbedingungen, extremer Temperaturen, also Aspekte, die das Standardangebot auf dem Markt übersteigen, erfüllen.

Eine neue Reihe im Zeichen der Innovation.

Zum heutigen Tag zählt die Mini Motor-Produktion einige zehntausend Artikel, die sich nach Geräteart, verfügbaren Leistungen, Übersetzungsverhältnissen, Anschlusstypen, Schutzgrad und Sonderausrüstungen unterscheiden. Je nach spezifischer Funktion, für die das Produkt bestimmt ist, kommen darüber hinaus weitere Variablen wie Speziallackierungen, Leistungspotenzierung usw. ins Spiel. Infolge dieser Multiplikation von Artikeln hat Mini Motor das Produktangebot in vier große Kategorien aufgeteilt: Koaxialgetriebemotoren, Schneckengetriebemotoren, Brushless-Servomotoren und Antriebe.

Somit eignet sie sich bestens für die Anforderungen einer Produktion von höchster Qualität, die umfassend und „flexibel“ ist – eben ganz im Sinne von Mini Motor. Überdies hat Mini Motor zum Projekt der S22 beigetragen und sie um eine weitere automatische Funktion erweitert, die das In-Line-Richten aller thermisch behandelter Zahnräder ermöglicht, bevor sie dem Rundschleifen unterzogen werden.

Das Vertrauen in die Schweizer Marke Studer bekräftigend, bezeugt Mini Motor weiterhin das Streben nach der Aufrechterhaltung der kompletten In-House-Produktion, was eben die „absolute Qualität“ sichert, die heute von den Kunden des Hauses weltweit geschätzt wird.

From the beginning the family-run company specialized in the construction of equipment for the dairy industry and developed later into the field of soft drinks, juices and beverages in general. Today the Pietribiasi name is among the more well-known in the dairy and beverages sector and the company is internationally acknowledged, particularly in the realisation of “turn-key” projects, and in the specific processing sectors, such as production of cheeses, pasteurisation and packaging ones.

Looking more closely at the company’s product ranges, the Pietribiasi division covers the research, project design and supply of complete systems for the process of milk (HTST – HHTST – ESL – UHT), cream – fermented products from milk process (yoghurts in the various known versions, sour cream, Smetana, kefir, leben, etc.), fresh soft cheeses, as well semi and hard cheeses, “pasta filata-pizza cheese” (such as mozzarella, kashkaval, etc.) and other products processed from cow – sheep and goat milks.

In this field the company has a wide experience and can cover all equipment needs from small to bigger plants for the production of: pasteurized drinking milk, yoghurt, different kinds of cheese, butter, etc.

Pietribiasi designs and produces plate and tubular heat exchanger for pasteurization and thermal treatment (cooling and/or heating) of different liquid foods (milk, cream, ice-cream mix, fruit juice, eggs mixture, beer, wine and many others).

NOW PLASTICS EUROPE THE VIRTUAL FACTORY YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO LIVE WITHOUT

Some things in life seem to defy logic, until you go one layer deeper and then it makes complete sense. NOW Plastics (North America, UK and Europe) is such a case. Let me try to explain a bit further.

I

n the packaging industry, the world has gotten a lot smaller. Today’s technologies (internet, email, universal translators, etc.) makes it possible to have email discussions between two people who live on opposite ends of the world, are many time zones apart, and speak totally different languages.

So, anyone can buy direct from overseas manufacturers all day long, right?. Then, how has NOW Plastics business model, as a global importer/distributor/supplier and “virtual factory” of various types of plastic films and certain converted products not only survived, but has been thriving, in today’s global environment???? Simple. The secret is that NOW Plastics Business Model was designed to take away the uncertainty associated with Global Importation while opening up the entire global supply landscape at the service of its customers. As the experienced procurement manager well knows, buying films is not just about procuring some sheet of plastic that looks nice and clear at a great price and throw it on a machine.

All films are not alike even if they appear alike. Films such as polypropylene, polyester, nylon, and others are a proprietary chemical formulation of resins and additives, produced on production lines that can be as long as a football

now plastics FP 4/13.indd 3

field costing 20 to 50 million euros and their supply must be totally dependable. Converters buy films as their main raw materials, and perform many different processes also involving other chemicals such as inks, adhesives, applying heat in laminations and bag making. Wrong films and unreliable supply lead to bad results and financial losses.

THE VIRTUAL FACTORY MODEL Now Plastics is a virtual factory.

We have people and offices. But we do not have equipment (with the exception of some slitting and perforating equipment in the UK for fast response on certain products).

We have a seemingly unlimited capacity of our core film products (see our advertisement on another page) via our producing partners to provide to our customers, mainly converters in soft as well as tight

markets. Our goal is to bring value to you. We are not worried about filling out machines that need to run 24 hours.

We are your long arm, ears and eyes. We are globally connected to film producers all around the world, with preferences of course as not all producers are created equal.

That is one of our advantages. You get the benefit of 35 years of supplying overseas products into our domestic markets.

A BIT OF HISTORY Our experiences and knowledge base began in North America, an extremely tough market, where changing or adding new suppliers is a complicated and time consuming task. Perfect education and training for the EU markets which

have different but equally tough requirements. We started Now Plastics UK in 2001 as a prelude to working in Europe.

In 2009, we created local sales and logistic offices in Italy and Spain with technical support, developed a European invoicing system and VAT no’s and in the process learned a lot! Now, with this added experience, we are expanding further with representation now in France and Poland, and soon in Germany and other places. Europe is more complicated but we adapt well and we prefer to do things right and not just grow uncontrolled. Our reputation is the most important asset we have.

WHAT WE DO Now Plastics is many things. We are an extension of your procurement department with a wealth of experience and knowledge to share. We have a multiplicity of supply options for our basket of film products. We learn your business and philosophies and then, based on a variety of factors beyond price, we marry certain factories who we know well to certain customers after learning their needs. And as we assume a more responsible role in your business as a primary supplier, we insist of creating certain supply chain programs – such as multiple sourcing per product, local warehousing for safety stock or Just-in-Time stock management via

now plastics FP 4/13.indd 4

either a full warehouse program, or consignment programs or other hybrid supply type programs. We insist because it is our job to manage risks, and buying films from offshore has huge benefits but some risks and those risks (late deliveries mainly) need to be mitigated.

We manage open orders far better than factories do themselves. We see changes happening in the markets and do our best to alert our customers to be prepared. We are transparent – we do not hide our supply sources and we transfer our knowledge and our level of confidence to you.

We are your eyes and ears. We find ways to differentiate ourselves and to make a difference in your business. Over the long haul, we deliver the best overall value to your business. If we didn’t, we would not exist in this highly competitive market, let alone be growing quite nicely. And maybe most importantly – WE ARE HERE TO STAY. Now Plastics is not a here today, gone tomorrow phenomenon (those of you who remember the tight polyester market of 2010/2011 know what I am talking about!).

VETTING OF FACTORIES Vetting of factories is a critical function. We do not buy sight unseen.

We visit factories regularly, typically at least once a year, but sometimes more. It’s a lot of travel but it is important. Skype is nice but not a

substitute for face to face meetings and relationship building. There is not enough space allotted for a full discussion but some of our criteria are: ISO approval, EU food contact approvals, a serious management, technical sophistication, a focus toward export, long term thinking, an expansion strategy, financial stability, western thinking, product warranties and honoring claims, commercial flexibility, and the ability to maintain good relations and mutual support though soft and tight markets. The last item is high on the importance list.

The true test is how a factory behaves when we need them, not when they need us.

THE ADVANTAGES OF NOW PLASTICS We bring a multitude of advantages to the table: you cannot substitute for experience and we have 35 years of it, a proven track record and reputation, financial stability, a long term orientation, global mindedness, the ability to craft customized supply chains, multiplicity of supply coupled with full transparency, local support, customer orientation, leveraging of your time by making importation easy for you, logistics management.

And most of all, we are strategic thinkers and business people, something you do not get with the normal sales representation from most factories.

Starting from the needs of the customer and the requested production volumes, we reach the best solution defining the layout of the facilities room and of the supplies needed by the processes.

It is a task of key importance, as every system and sub-system installed on a production site is in connection with the others; wrong assumptions can lead to: ❱ undersized systems, leading to a later increase of the investment due to the need of a restyling of supply lines and machineries; ❱ preclusion of later possibilities of expansion, due to an omission of re-configurability studies.

PREMIUM LINSTAR TRAY IS LEADING LIGHT OF EPS RANGE BY LINPAC

A

pioneering new foam tray developed by leading food packaging manufacturer LINPAC Packaging for meat and fish products can save retailers thousands of Euros each year thanks to its innovative absorbent core.

The LINstar EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) tray incorporates a built-in patented high capacity absorbent core to draw unsightly meat juices from view and prevent leaks from the pack, removing the need for separate soaker pads which are found in standard EPS packs and often disliked by consumers.

LINPAC Packaging, which has a manufacturing site in Verona and its sister company Infia based in Bertinoro, has developed the unique trays for Italian retailers and food manufacturers looking for lighter, value-added packaging and who want their products to stand out from the competition.

Cristiano Madama, Managing Director at LINPAC Verona, said: “Italy has been strongly affected by economic weakness and aging populations both of which have impacted consumer markets across Europe.

The high unemployment rate and wavering consumer confidence has resulted in changes in the shopping behaviour of Italian consumers.

In response, product and packaging manufacturers need to keep abreast of altering consumer preferences in order to be able to cater to wide-ranging demand.”

Despite the challenging economy, the value of the Italian protein sec-

LINPAC FP 2/14.indd 3

tor is forecast to grow by almost 10% between 2013 and 2017, from €13,402m to €14,691m. Market volume is expected to see similar growth, of 12%, during the same period; in 2010 market volume in Italy was 1,837m Kg and by 2017 this is predicted to increase to 2,058m Kg (source: Canadean).

Cristiano continued: “Changing consumer preferences are affecting the packaging industry in varied ways, driving the need for greater innovation and design.

Our LINstar trays are at the cutting edge of innovation in EPS. The patented absorbent core locks away meat juices, greatly improving the

on-shelf appearance of the product and driving up sales. Whilst the premium quality of LINstar commands a higher cost than that of a standard EPS foam tray, we are confident that retailers will reap the benefits of having an efficient packaging solution like LINstar on their shelves and will quickly see a return on their investment.”

The LINstar trays were trialled by a leading supermarket retailer in The Netherlands early last year.

The cost savings - €50,000 at one

store alone – led to the trays being rolled out for use across all its stores in the country.

LINstar’s absorbent core significantly improves pack and meat presentation helping to drive sales and reduce the number of packs exceeding their sell-by date and wasted.

“Consumers want a ‘clean’ pack and are likely to leave those which have blood and other juices visible on the shelf, even if the meat looks juicy and fresh,” said Cristiano.

“Packaging manufacturers have

LINSTAR CASE STUDY Background In February 2013, the LINPAC Packaging LINcare customer service team undertook a study with a leading Dutch retailer to assess the benefits of switching to premium LINstar EPS foam trays from standard EPS trays in one store.

The store where the study was taking place used 350,000 standard EPS foam trays per year. Switching would require investment by the retailer, an increased cost of 12%.

The team was interested to find out the true benefits this additional spend would bring to the retailer. They considered 6 key factors: •Impact on product wastage •Mark downs •Loss of sales due to reduced quality of meat in store •Re-wrapping costs •Extra bags at tills to wrap EPS meat packs •Cost of shelf cleaning from pack leaks

Findings LINstar reduced in-store packed product waste by 1% due to the use of the more robust tray with an absorbent core.

The saving was due to improved pack aesthetics, which drove sales and led to a reduction of packs exceeding their sell-by date and thereby reducing in-store waste.

This saving was estimated at €14,000 per year.

Cost of shelf cleaning from pack leaks was significantly reduced. Switching to LINstar with its absorbent core to lock away juices and reduce leaks, saved the store two hours per week in cleaning - €3,000 per year in costs.

LINPAC FP 2/14.indd 4

LINstar has greater shelf appeal due to its absorbent core. The quality and freshness of meat was deemed higher by consumers when it was packed in a LINstar tray compared to standard EPS trays. This delivered a 2% improvement in figures relating to loss of sales due to quality issues. The value of this to the store was estimated at €28,000 per year.

Mark-downs were minimised because meat packed in LINstar trays maintained its fresh appearance for longer due to the absorbent core. This secured a 1% saving, delivering another €3,500 saving per year for the store.

The LINstar solution minimised the need to re-wrap packs due to juices seeping into the wrapping layers around the pack and creating leaks. This achieved a €3,120 saving in additional films, labels, printing and man hours.

Finally, €280 was saved in additional bag consumption.

The absorbent core in LINstar trays meant supermarket employees working on the tills did not need to wrap the packs in additional plastic bags – often used to ensure leakage didn’t contaminate consumers’ shopping with meat fluids between store and home.

Results Despite a 12% premium to invest in LINstar EPS foam trays, the savings identified by the LINcare team totalled in excess of €50,000 for just one store. This far outweighed the initial tray investment and as a result the LINstar tray range is now being rolled out across the chain securing massive savings for the retailer across the business.

been challenged with cutting waste across the whole supply chain – not just packaging waste but food waste too – and the LINstar tray excels in this area.

With its lock-away core, the quality and freshness of meat was deemed higher by consumers when it was packed in a LINstar tray compared with other EPS trays.

This means the amount of pack price mark downs and loss of sales due to quality issues is greatly reduced.”

EPS foam trays are often viewed as a low cost option for in-store packing of goods. However, the associated cost of cleaning down shelving systems when packs leak as customers search for their preferred cut of meat is often not taken into account. Similarly, the extra

costs related to the rewrapping of leaking packs, for example additional films, labels, printing and man hours are overlooked.

The revolutionary absorbent core within LINstar trays means retailers will no longer be faced with these issues.

The LINstar range delivers all the environmental benefits associated with EPS, making it an ideal choice for retailers and packers who are looking to minimise their carbon footprint and drive up sustainability in their business.

Alan Davey, Director of Innovation at LINPAC Packaging, said: “Foamed materials meet all the requirements of modern packaging with regards to the environment and recycling.

Given that EPS is 98 per cent air, it

is the ultimate low carbon packaging option.

It is one of the lightest packaging solutions on the market significantly reducing transportation costs and thus further reducing the carbon footprints of manufacturers and retailers throughout the supply chain.

“EPS is fully recyclable and does not produce greenhouse gases on disposal, plus the energy consumption used in its manufacture can be recovered through incineration.”

LINstar trays are available in a range of vibrant colours to provide product differentiation and sizes to meet all requirements.

The trays have been designed to suit both manual and automatic stretch wrapping machines.

BAG SEALERS FOR ALL NEEDS

C

ibra has been making bag sealers since 1953.

Its first sealing pincer for polyethylene film is now in Milan’s Museum of Science and Technology.

The basic range of multi-purpose sealers for plastic and multi-layer bags is complemented by the production of custom-made machines for special sealing problems, and sealing bars to be placed on special packaging lines.

CIBRA’s sealers are mostly used at the end of the packaging line for food products, chemicals and pharmaceutical products, plastic and metallic parts and the like.

All models by Cibra are meant to be used in high quality packaging, where bags must be sealed easily but without ever risking a wrong seal.

For perfect seals: models PN PRG and IND 100 PRG These sealers share three important features that are necessary in food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries and allow them to be used in protected environments or sterile areas: 1. they guarantee a perfect seal that can be constantly repeated.

This guarantee comes from the possibility of regulating very precisely all the sealing parameters, and from the width of the sealing strip; 2. they are user- friendly and can be used very easily by operators whose attention must be dedicated to other phases of the process; 3. their structures are made only of stainless steel, chromate steel, aluminium or plastic, that assure the highest level of hygiene.

The impulse seal is performed by resistances 3, 4, 6 or 12 mm wide.

A sophisticated control by microprocessor allows a precise setting of all the sealing parameters: sealing

CIBRA NOVA FP 1/14.indd 3

time, sealing temperature, cooling time or temperature. Recipes for various materials can be stored; sealing data can be logged; errors or problems are auto diagnosed.

This guarantees that all seals are perfectly repeated.

The two models have a very different structure suited for different problems.

Model PN PRG is available cm 60 or cm 80 width. It works on compressed air with an automatic cycle activated by a safety pedal.

Cibra can supply only the sealing head for desk-top use or placement on existing supports, or a vertical structure with supporting table as

shown in the photo.

The IND PRG sealer is specially designed for sealing heavy and/or bulky bags and for bags contained in bins or boxes .

The trolley feeder allows the sealing unit to be conveyed directly over the bag to be sealed. The vertical support allows the sealing pincers to be raised, lowered and turned into the most convenient position.

Pincers can also be removed from the support and rested on the trolley to reduce the dimensions of the unit when not in use.

For special needs the pincers can be fixed anywhere and used at any distance from the trolley.

14/03/14 16.47

SPECIAL

For all uses: Sealer model AKA seals the smaller bags, up to 30 cm wide, made of multi-layer films, co-extruded films, BOPP, heat-sealable cellophane, paper+plastic.

These bags are used for food, coffee seeds, chemicals, powders, and any product requiring a strong and long lasting protection. The 12 mm wide embossed seal is usually made immediately in the time of lowering and raising the pedal.

CIBRA NOVA FP 1/14.indd 4

Sealing temperature is controlled by a thermo regulator.

AKA can also be fitted with a timer and with a compressed air movement that makes the sealing cycle fully automatic and totally repeatable.

AKA is quite suitable for small, high quality productions, but also in big industries as a support to automatic machines for re-sealing bags that are not perfect, or for sample productions.

And then, behind us we have many years of collaboration with Anzio Storci, there is a long history of co-operation between us based on mutual respect. The level of understanding with Storci is perfect because we share an important value: quality and a high level of product customization. We began by making a number of parts for Storci spreader units, the results were always excellent and the level of trust continued to grow. We are the best when it comes to creating dosing units with just a few but crucial features: space-saving, simplicity of use and many top performance features. We offer good and long-lasting technology and Storci knows this, and the new Storci-BS Network brand proves it�.

It is an essential product line designed to meet the flexibility needs required by craft workshops to promote research and development.

With a productive capacity up to 60kg/hour, it is a pure concentrate of technology, reliability and hygiene.

This creation will allow GSR to reconfirm, once again, its role as the pioneer of the sectorial market.

Along the last 20 years, GSR has been establishing itself for expressing the best of “made in Italy” in the world, as a synonym of quality.

GSR was founded in Lombardy, in

the heart area of the province of Lecco, it has made the characteristics of “made in Lecco” excellence its own, a key area in the manufacture of heavy precision machineries.

Indeed, at the beginning of the 20th century, GSR has already laid the foundations for intensive industrial development that characterized this area’s future and that subsequently made it a major player in this field in the early postwar period.

This progress occurred through several spontaneous initiatives which subsequently multiplied thanks to a great enterprising spirit, technical expertise, a consolidated tradition and an entrepreneurial class capa-

ble of focusing its attention on innovation and of imposing specific excellence not only of “Made in Italy”, but even more of “Made in Lecco”, creating a connection between the local area and the production quality outside its national borders.

The region of Lombardy produces some of the best alloy steels on the market, renowned for their extremely high quality.

From 1992 up to now, GSR has been able to bear this long regional tradition in mind becoming a company of excellence, a true point of reference in the production of machineries and accessories for cocoa squeezing.

Research is GSR’s essence. We always strive to provide higher quality products than the standard ones; it is one of the company’s major purposes.

To be the future and to go beyond it. This philosophy has led the company to invest heavily in research in terms of capital and resources, fully aware of the fundamental role that research plays in the development

of its activity.

Innovative engineering solutions, sophisticated software as well as testing and simulations to give the best and dictate the rules of the market with the highest capacity presses and up-to-date laboratory facilities.

Along the last 5 years, GSR has considerably developed the production capacity of its 900 and 980 product lines: in 2012/13, the 900 series

launched the 8 pot line and the 980 series the 18 one.

It then exceeded expectations in the compact machines sector with the 870 (4 and 6 pots) product line, designed for medium-sized companies and with laboratory lines, thanks to the 1400 and 1250 series, with 1 and 2 pots.

GSR’s products range also includes new accessories, such as melting/ conditioning systems and laboratory cake breakers.

Thanks to our expertise, we are able to give new life to any kind of press, without scrapping it before the expected time.

Company technicians’ skills and experience have developed technologies for retro-fitting and upgrading any existing press, even those produced by other manufacturers.

GSR’s research studies also focus on energy saving technologies, optimizing production processes to reduce energy consumption.

Even though they were already satisfied with the 2010 results, the company’s team managed to reduce the 20% of the energetic consumption thanks to the implementation of specific research studies.

GSR considers research a system

of ideas that covers the whole cocoa supply chain, from the crops through to the finished product, including market trends and new habits. GSR is ready and prepared to deal with every possible situation.

GSR’s commitment goes beyond the concrete components and materials. It also affects all the relational and human processes that intervene when a collaborative relationship between the customer and the supplier begins.

GSR’s essential goal is to meet the customer’s requirements and to give him the ability to be competitive on the market.

The company’s team is composed of technicians who listen to the customer and provide him the best solutions to every need.

A profile structured on two different levels, and the narrow band, reduce the blade’s surface in contact with the product, avoiding pointless frictions, and ensuring that the part of

CHIARAVALLI FP 2/14.indd 3

the blade not directly involved in the cutting process is always cleaner.

This type of finishing can be applied to our whole range of items, and represents a winning solution for cutting cheese, cured meats and vegetables.

In summary: ❱ avoids the waste that is normal with traditional blades; ❱ enables to obtain extremely thin and perfect slices; ❱ the flavor of the product is un-

changed because the blade does not become hot.

In addition, together with the traditional “MIRROR FINISH” that is characteristic of the highest quality standards, this development ensures: ❱ a further improvement in terms of cleanliness; ❱ high wear and abrasion resistance; ❱ high corrosion protection; ❱ low friction coefficient.

CT PACK – CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY FOR PACKAGING

C

T Pack, leader in food packaging environment, always present as a standstill during Interpack exhibition, is constantly working on important technology improvements on the whole range of its solutions. During current Interpack exhibition, will be present at our stand several new developments just proven in production runs as well as systems for new machines from 2014. CT Pack team is glad to invite you to find us at our booth to discover the following innovative solution:

COMPLETE PACKAGING LINE FOR SNACKS Row distribution system, dual lane flowpack machine MMH2, dual robot box loading unit fully designed and integrated into a complete CT Pack packaging line for 800 snacks per minute will be shown at the stand.

The high-tech automatic wrapper machine has been designed to complete CT-Pack’s machine range. This unit is indeed intended to overcome the needs of a machine that is able to merge together the production speed of two single lane wrapping machines, as well as providing an everlasting buffer intended as a stand by line integrated in the main one.

This unit shares with CT Pack single

lane models the same stainless steel material And construction technology following the principle to be totally hygienic and washable.

MMH 2 is extremely user friendly for operator and maintenance teams as well as ergonomic in all its parts.

The unit is the perfect solution for those factories with very high production capacity needs and lack of available floor space. MMH2 is integrated with the most appropriate feeding row distribution system, with buffer and re-feed features, as well as with the special APLC metering belts phasing systems for proper and constant loading of the flowpack lug chain lanes. Downstream of the primary packaging section, a dual robot box loading machine receives the single packs and load a wide variety of containers, including special crates for

the market where the line is going to be delivered. With same material and electronic for all machines, perfectly integrated logic, this line constitutes a real example of CT Pack high-tech solution for the food industry.

SOFT/WET PRODUCTS FLOWPACK MACHINE This machine has been developed to face the necessity to handle soft and/ or wet products like naked soft cheese (the exhibited case) in the strongest hygiene environment contest.

The unit is equipped with an integrated metering belt phasing system running over the reels area which takes place top-down under the products arrival.

The inverted longitudinal sealing system allows to have the foil coming from the bottom, giving support to the soft product during the movement across the sealing area.

At last the most important part of this machine is the special box motion transversal sealing head which guarantees the gas/tight sealing at the highest speed on the market.

SMART CARRIER INFEED SYSTEM FOR FLOWPACK MACHINES This is the most advanced implementation CT Pack is going to integrate in the flowpack machines. When con-

Soft/wet Products Flowpack machine venient, the lug chain together with the product phasing system will be replaced by the individual smart carrier system. Able to load products on individual carriers moving independently, this system is theoretically replacing any kind of product phasing system with advantages in terms of size and flexibility. The prototype machine will be presented in the current Interpack edition.

CT PACK FEATURES ON 2014 MACHINES RAPID SYSTEM: Shared data structure system for every machine. Of course the main advantage is the user friendly operations given by a system which in many ways resemble Plug & Play system for PC. Besides this important feature Rapid allows, thanks to the Power Monitor device, to collect a virtually endless database showing data like real time functioning, consumptions, real time and historic efficiency etc.

REGISTERED ID ACCESS: The new feature add many functions to the control panel. The access to the machine is recorded with an ID bound to the operator badge which can enter with different roles but with a single ID per person. Each access is log recorded with historic chronology of intervention on the machine. In the future the log can be done by portable tablets and mobile phones.

FORMAT RECIPE ON FILES: The format changes will be loaded by simple files, thanks to the integration in the electrical cabinet of an industrial PC,

CT PACK FP 2/14.indd 4

this means that will be possible to keep chronology of the recipes and creating backup files.

CT PACK ACTIVITY SECTORS CT Pack focus its attention on those areas which includes foods, beverages and para-pharmaceutical products.

For every one of the mentioned sectors CT Pack is able to provide full turn-key packaging lines starting from the naked product to the case-packer system.

The firm is open also to “outsider” products, for instance CT Pack had some experiences in the near past with automotive components handling.

An especially deep know-how has been developed through the years also for the handling of frozen products could they be ice cream or other foods/goods. This has been confirmed by our partnership with the major ice cream factories in the global market.

CT PACK IN THE TERRITORY AND GROWTH STRATEGY Strong connection with the University scientific world in the territory, acquisition of high level technical information, in-house testing structure for proof of principle or component reliability test, assure our R&D and Technical Departments to develop and to manufacture automatic packaging machines and fully integrated complete packaging lines which are ...

THE BEST SOLUTION FOR EACH CUSTOMER’S NEEDS. Despite the delicate economy period and the high competitive and fast developing market, CT Pack was constantly increasing the turn-over, the presence inside the most important International Food Companies (among others: Kraft-MondelezCadbury, Unilever, Nestlè, Kellogg, Bimbo), the number and quality of the personnel as well as its size with a second brand new production factory in Ferrara-Italy.

“Ready to provide the most advanced competences with the proper structure behind”.

With the establishment of CT USA Corporation, based in Chicago-IL. and CT CHINA Corporation based in Shanghai-China, in addition to the branches in Europe, the presence of CT Pack worldwide is under completion.

CT USA and CT CHINA Corporations will be for the time being responsible for the Sale and Service Support of all CT PACK products for new and existing customers in the North American and Chinese territories, with the aim of manufacture locally most of the machine components for the relevant Regions.

NEOFOOD: THE INNOVATION FOR THE INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION Making industrial food attractive: and the lines become TV stars

A

ll edible masses can be divided into three groups by viscosity – soft (liquid), medium and hard.

We manufacture the best forming machines for each group. Intelledrop, Intellemix and Intellestamp are perfect as stand-alone machines, and can be used for forming center-filled or two-colored products on a continuous belt in a tunnel oven or cooling system.

1. IntelleDrop - for depositing liquid masses like liquid marmalade or jelly, or liquid chocolate or cream, on tartlets or flat cookies, or depositing short dough.

2. IntelleMix - for the formation of different kinds of soft cookies and marshmallows with a depositing method, or string cutting.

1. IntelleStamp - for the production of ginger bread cookies, candy, cottage cheese bars, or meat/fish balls or cutlets.

If you have both an oven and a cooler of the same width at your plant, forming heads can be interchanged with twin baking and cooling lines. However, the main advantage is the possibility of synchronizing the operation of two or three forming heads installed in the desired sequence, and thus creating innovative cookies or snacks/ desserts with three to seven components. Initially we separate food masses by viscosity, but unite them finally in a magic creative combination!

The Neofood system is modular and upgradeable - you

You are probably a producer of desserts, confectionary and bakery products. You use automatic or semi-automatic machinery, and are familiar with all the well-known machinery manufacturers on the market. Your products are respected and bestsellers, but perhaps you are not satisfied, and are looking for something new and innovative.

Maybe you want a new forming, extruding, depositing or enrobing machine?

Maybe you dream of a simple interchangeability of your forming machines when connecting them to your tunnel oven or cooling tunnel, or even combining them to create multi-component products?

However, all the well-known machinery manufacturers are in competition, and build incompatible machines with varying distances between nozzles and the PLC control.

Our innovative equipment is aimed at those customers who would like to produce innovative snack foods, in all kinds of industrial food manufacturing plants, in either automatic or semi-automatic mode.

Our lines and stand-alone machines are perfect for the production of centrally-filled or multi-component foodstuffs, such as two-color products.

Our machines are flexible, modular and upgradeable.

Your future lines will develop as far as your imagination and production volume will allow. At Neofood, we have created and developed machines and technologies which are re-

MORE FUNCTION, LESS WASTE

K

uraray Co. Ltd. has been manufacturing and marketing ethylene vinylalcohol copolymers (EVOH) under the name EVAL™ since 1972, and remains the world leader in EVOH production and market development. William Reay, global marketing manager for EVAL Europe, talks to Food Processing about all EVOH has to offer.

Can you tell us a bit about the company?

William Reay: Kuraray was founded in Japan in 1926, and quickly expanded from plastic rayon textile fibres into speciality chemicals and polymers. We are the world’s largest producer of VAM [vinyl acetate monomer] derivatives, including PVOH (polyvinyl alcohol) and EVOH (ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers).

How can EVAL EVOH help brand-owners and producers reduce their carbon footprint?

By reducing packaging, and avoid-

EVAL FP 2/14.indd 3

ing waste. EVAL EVOH is all about finding the perfect balance between function and minimal amounts of materials. EVAL EVOH has performance against oxygen gas that is 10,000 times better than LDPE [low-density polyethylene]. In other words, 1mm of EVAL gives the same protection as a 10m-thick wall of LDPE. We thus need an EVAL layer thickness of just a few microns to add enough barrier function to a coextruded structure. Optimising the amount of packaging materials helps reduce the carbon footprint of a product. But, it is the barrier

function that plays the most important role by prolonging shelf life and avoiding waste; the contents of a package usually have a much greater environmental impact than the packaging materials in which they are sold. It not only makes good environmental sense, but good economic sense as well.

Are the materials recyclable or recoverable?

Both. Multilayer structures including EVAL™ are routinely ground up and reused as a structural layer in multilayer barrier plastic bottles, sheet and trays. EVAL will not disrupt polyolefin recycling streams, either online or post-consumer. Because EVAL is a plastic, it provides good energy recovery, and emits only water vapour and CO2 – no toxic residue, no metal, no chlorine. Because there isn’t much EVAL in the structure to begin with, even these emissions are quite small, especially when compared with the important benefits of avoiding waste. In the fu-

16/04/14 11.21

SPECIAL

ture, EVAL itself may be made from renewable sources that don’t interrupt food supply chains.

Stand-up pouches are increasingly being used for ready meals. Are your solutions microwave-safe?

Absolutely. Stand-up pouches are a good example of optimised packaging, using relatively small amounts of material to protect food until it can be consumed.

The microns of EVAL provide barrier properties and shelf-life extension to the entire structure. EVAL is a transparent plastic – no problem for microwave ovens. It can also be used for energy-efficient aseptic filling processes, and is compatible

EVAL FP 2/14.indd 4

with metal detectors during processing.

How can EVAL reduce waste and protect food?

Prolonging shelf life is an important way to avoid waste. It adds valuable time to the processing and distribution process, while keeping the contents fresh with their vitamins and aroma intact.

Our partners usually come to us for optimised oxygen gas barrier, but EVAL also keeps aromas inside the package and effectively blocks outside odours, grease and contamination. A fast growing example of the benefit of this is the EVAL solution against MOSH/MOAH (mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons/mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons) migration.

Mineral oils that are present in recycled cartonboard can easily migrate and accumulate in certain foods, which can cause health problems when ingested.

The quick answer from the market has been to move to virgin paperboard, but this may not be sustainable, and doesn’t protect against migration from the outer carton boxes used for transport and storage. EVAL provides a proven barrier against MOSH/MOAH in thickness as thin as 4μm – once again, effective protection with only very

small amounts of material. Better yet, our European Technical Centre can scientifically simulate the amount of MOSH/MOAH migration of a given structure, to show that it is within ever stricter food safety regulation.

What properties do EVAL products have that can help influence consumer decisions?

As a transparent plastic material, EVAL is versatile, and can be used in optimised coextruded structures for film, bag-in-box, pouches, trays, cups, tubes, bottles – even flexitainers and automotive fuel tanks.

It can be coated or laminated onto cartonboard and paper, and even used in barrier in-mould labels and co-injected cups and closures. Very thin flexible layers can be laminated to renewable materials like paper or cartonboard, giving them muchneeded barrier function.

Thanks to its transparency, the product can be made attractively visible to the consumer. But maybe the best way to influence customer decisions is to pass on savings due to optimised packaging and transport, and produce less waste throughout the processing and distribution stream.

TIEFIX FOR FOOD PACKAGING Reclosing closures for bags

T

IEFIX range of closures for packages made of bags with tuft.

General Plastics, leaders in closures and seals since 1952, proudly produce in Italy a wide range of closures and ties, in particular TIEFIX-clip and TIEFIX-twist wire-cored bag-reclosing-closures, for the most important bread, pasta, biscuits and sweets producers as well as for bag-closing machine manufacturers. They also produce special closures for pharmaceuticals, high-security seals and nets for various applications.

Their constant search for quality is confirmed by the use of non-toxic materials in their production processes, as already required in many countries.

General Plastics supplies MASTERFIX and MINICLIP bag-closing machines as well. They are versatile, attractively priced, and ideal as a first step for those who want to switch from manual to automatic packaging, without using additional costly equipment.

Such machines are independent from any packaging lines and are electrically powered, with no need for compressed air.

New TIEFIX Products GENERAL PLASTICS produce the popular range of tying and closing systems for bag-closing machines, which has been largely renovated, in light of the recent ecologic awareness.

And, indeed, TIEFIX twist ties are available with either polypropylene, the most inert among all plastic materials, or kraft/recycled paper (thus entirely biodegradable).

Today’s novelty is represented

by TIEFIX-BIO The well-known wire-cored TIEFIX ribbon, nowadays, is produced also with a new photodegradable material, which degrades once it is exposed

GENERAL PLASTICS FP 2/14.indd 3

to sunlight and atmospheric external agents, and allows the twistband to oxidize and disappear. TIEFIX-BIO joins the 100% biodegradable TIEFIX2k in paper, whenever it is needed to combine the density of plastic covering with degradability. Even the double-side-wired TIEFIX-clip is available in BIO version, which is produced with such new photodegradable material.

With regards to the problem of recycling the empty support spools, such problem has been successfully overcome by General Plastics with the introduction of spool-less-rolls, to be applied by means of a special re-usable adapter. Such adapter becomes an integral part of the machine and can be opened and closed with a simple movement. In addition to the obvious environmental benefits, you also get lower cost of closing material, a drastic reduction of downtime for spool change, and greater autonomy, thanks to bigger format rolls.

TIEFIX-2Ki, THE NEW ECO-FRIENDLY LOOK FOR BREAD, COOKIES AND PASTA. GENERAL PLASTICS, the European N. 1 specialists in tying ribbons for bagclosing, have recently introduced a

remarkable novelty which completes their wide range: the long awaited Tiefix-2Ki paper twist-tie.

Tiefix-2Ki looks similar to the well known plastic twist-tie ribbon, but is covered with reinforced paper instead, so becoming a 100% biodegradable hermetic reusable closure for food bags. Tiefix-2Ki’s components, paper and iron wire, degrade completely at the end of their life and go back into the natural life-round.

A new high-strength special paper makes it suitable for every automatic or semiautomatic tyer. The new ribbon is wound in spoolless rolls, so that you only buy precious tying material and don’t waste money in expensive and unnecessary spools and the relative cost for disposing of. Its precisionwinding allows to a continuous supply of ribbon with no jams.

Tiefix-2Ki is an answer to the increasing demand for natural looks and environment-friendly packaging coming from European bakeries and food companies, who can now line up with the long-established North-American habit of tying bags with paper twistties.

Last but not least, Tiefix-2Ki is much cheaper than plastic-covered ties!

TECHNE GRAHAM PACKAGING COMPANY Extrusion and blow-moulding for food products

G

raham Packaging Corporation is well know as one of the biggest converter in dairy and food products, with more than one hundred plants worldwide, 20 billions bottles produced every year and a turnover of 3 billion Euro. The acquisition of Techne EBM machines manufacturer in 2011 has joined the experience, technical know-how and excellence of two of the major companies on the market with fruitful results.

TECHNE is a consolidated partner of all main dairy companies all over the world. One of the application that made these collaborations a success is the aseptic blowing technology, which is part of its history as the first unit was launched in Italy in 1992. Since then, a lot of complete lines have been supplied and the process is more than reliable and consolidated. It consists of a sophisticated implant which filters the blowing air and sterilize the complete pipe circuit, using only steam agent.

The main advantage of this technology is the complete absence of any chemical agent used during the process and therefore any eventual residual of liquid into the bottle (azote peroxide) and as a consequence, it eliminates the risk of having some taste alteration of the final product after the filling process.

The bottle coming out from the machine is perfectly sealed and it is opened only at the internal of the aseptic filling machine, after it has been sterilized on the outside part and just before the filling process.

TECHNE FP 2/14.indd 3

Last generation aseptic full electric machines are jewels of technology, with 3 or 6 layers extrusion heads and capability to produce 1L UHT milk bottles up to 9.000 units per hour.

ADV4-700-A Aseptic - Full electric machine TECHNE ADV-700 combines high production to high technology. Its presence on the market since 2007 makes it one of the most reliable and advanced model available. With its double and four shuttle configurations, it is the perfect match for the end users and converters who look for a machine with medium to high production capacities. Its 700 mm stroke allows to produce containers from 60 ml (neck to neck) to 10L up to 6 layers.

Full electric systems offer great advantages in terms of electric consumption and ordinary maintenance. It is proven that the average saving related to the machine consumption is around

35% compared to hydraulic units.

The kWh per kg of plastic extruded drops from 0,45 to 0,31 in monolayer configuration and from 0,48 to 0,33 with the multilayer.

The absence of any hydraulic system warrantees a clean production environment, a reduction of the overall noise and lower cooling needs of the machine as there is no hydraulic station (35%). It eliminates the problem of draining the used oil every 6.000 hours, reducing the ecologic impact on the environment. Finally, it increases the safety for operators, with no risk of accident due to unexpected movements while doors are opened, spite all safety systems present in the hydraulic machines.

On top of ADV machine, the range include a full integrated combi unit (UNIKA), available in double or four shuttle configuration for blowing, filling and capping and a new generation full electric machine (ADVT) for small / medium production capacities.

izerba has developed a new high performance price labelling machine for the food industry: the GLM-Ievo weighs and labels at a speed up to 200 packages a minute. It has a camera checking system for package quality control and it can configure itself automatically when the product is changed via a coded label roll. Thanks to the modular design principle, the system can be assembled individually for different requirements.

In the food industry, production plants are frequently made up of systems from different manufacturers, including inspection systems, packaging machines and price labellers. The technology of each is

If a manufacturer invests in a new device, this should at least be able to keep up with the technological development of adjacent plants.

tion balance, among other things.

The speed achieved by this has so far not been achieved before on the market. The labeller will therefore be able to keep up with all current packaging machines for the next few years, which implies investment security for the customer.

GLM-Ievo achieves a flow-rate of up to 200 packages a minute

Quality Check included: Camera system checks information texts, barcodes and product quality

The new fully automatic price labelling machine GLM-Ievo 200 offers an as yet unrivalled performance in the industry. It weighs and labels at a flow-rate of up to 200 packages a minute, this is possible due to the use of an electromagnet compensa-

Food manufacturers cannot afford to risk losses in product quality which unnerve customers and in the worst cases lead to expensive product recalls. The Bizerba-VisionSystem (BVS) camera system has been therefore integrated into the

new GLM-Ievo. Using automatic text recognition, it checks whether the right texts and the correct shelf life has been printed on the labels and also checks the position of the label and the barcode. A laser also carries out a sealing check and detects leaking packaging areas and contamination. Manufacturers can increase product quality with the BVS and thus strengthen the brand image indirectly.

Automatic configuration: price labeller detects label rolls by the data matrix code To increase production efficiency, the GLM-Ievo has another innovative feature: it can configure itself automatically when products are changed. This works via the plugin-label function. The Bizerba printing plant in Bochum produces labels with a data matrix code on the carrier paper. This contains all the information regarding the product and labelling. The labeller reads the respective information with a scanner while the roll is being inserted and configures itself auto-

matically – for example, it sets the applicators to the correct product height. The user therefore saves a lot of time in day-to-day production.

Modularity and toolless replacement of belt bodies Since systems are almost always in motion and components need to be replaced or extended at regular intervals, it is more important than ever that the systems can be quickly adapted to new spatial configurations. When designing the GLM-Ievo, the developers therefore paid particular attention to flexibility. A wide range of different weighing belts between 300 and 700 millimetres long is available. The system is designed modularly so that feed, separator and weighing belts can be replaced by qualified service personnel and the plant can be adapted to new package sizes. In the case of wear and tear, all belts and belt bodies can be replaced without tools and thus with ease. With the GLM-Ievo, the customer has a flexible system that it can adapt at any time to new spatial requirements.

GREENER, CLEANER COOKING WITH BELT TECHNOLOGIES STEEL BELTS Steel Belts from Belt Technologies cook meat up a treat.

F

ood processing industries across the globe are rapidly growing and changing with fast food production, in particular, experiencing many challenges. Amongst these challenges is a tightening of the already strict standards for food production; with greater emphasis on hygiene, coupled with the need to reduce the production costs and have shorter set up time for those companies involved in food processing seek new innovations and system improvements that may promote greater productivity and flexibility.

Belt Technologies Europe, the market leader in steel belt technologies, has worked closely with Justech of Sweden and partners , to produce an innovative method of cooking and transporting meat products.

“Inducook” is the brand of new cooking equipment developed by Jutech AB, Sweden.The technology is primarily based on traditional industrial contact cooking methods but in this case, the product is transported between two ( an upper and lower) stainless steel conveyor belts coated with high quality non-stick coatings.

The advantage of this system over similar contact cooking methods lies with the “Inducook’” solution approach of applying heat to the belts. Currently, cooked food production relies on traditional heating methods such as electric resistance heating, gas heating, oil recirculation heating and similar.All these traditional methods come with their own particular set of drawbacks; such as emission generation, high power consumption, machines that are typically difficult to clean and maintain, and the use of non-renewable energy resources.

BELT FP 1/14.indd 3

Justech AB engineers, working closely with Belt Technologies Europe, have developed a system of induction heating in combination with coated steel belts, resulting in a meat cooking system designed for today’s demanding food processing factory.

“Inducook” is a greener solution that ensures high product quality with stringent hygiene levels.

Up until now , Justech AB engineers have tested a wide range of food products that can be cooked with “Inducook”. They have already had success with the processing of the most common fast food meat products such bacon, hamburger and kebab meat.The meat product is cooked rapidly and thoroughly, saving on processing times and giving peace of mind that food is cooked

to the correct temperatures for the right length of time.New design innovations and other products are planned for the near future.

Inducook operating principles and design features and benefits The “Inducook” unit cooks the product between two induction heated non-stick coated stainless steel conveyor belts; these are heated with induction coils. Induction coils are positioned underneath both – upper and lower stainless steel conveyor belts. The quality and grade of stainless steel is integral to the success of this system. The grade of

02/04/14 13.02

Belt_A4foodAd_ENG_v02_a 22/04/2013 14:13 Page 1

SPECIAL

steel used in this case has excellent thermal properties , allowing rapid and almost instantaneous heat transfer, facilitating quicker cook times and tight control of the cooking process.

As the stainless steel belt comes into contact with the varying magnetic field, generated by the induction coils ,the field induces an appearance altering eddy current within the belt material. This eddy current flow, within the magnetic stainless steel belt material, works against the electrical resistivity of the metal, allowing precise and localized heat to occur .

The meat product is transported through the gap between the two conveyor belts; the meat is thus both transported and cooked safely to perfection simultaneously. The “Inducook “ system maintains the temperature in the steel belt at correct levels to ensure the meat is cooked to perfection.

The “Inducook” cooking method gives many important advantages over other heating solutions used nowadays:

Key benefits: ❱ Hygiene – the equipment meets the highest food industry hygiene standards. The non-stick coatings applied by Belt Technologies to their stainless steel belts are FDA approved for food contact and provide a

hygienic, quick and simple method of cleaning. Both the stainless steel belts are easily removable. Since induction heating is a non-contact heating, robust electrical components have been designed to resist water contact during the cleaning process. ❱ Cooked meat quality and systems productivity – by using induction heating, it is very easy to control correct temperature levels. Another important feature lies in the fact that it takes only a few seconds to switch between different products.

This is a big advantage over similar contact cooking methods, offering the advantage of higher productivity.

Set up time is therefore kept to a minimum. ❱ Non-stick - “Inducook’s” thin stainless steel belt has an FDA approved non-stick special coating.

This makes it possible to cook a whole range of different meat products without them adhering to the belt. The non-stick coating is abrasion resistant enabling simple but thorough post-cooking cleaning and maintenance to be carried out. The flat nature of the belt, unlike wire belts for example, will not impart any marks on the product being processed. This gives a better presentation of the food cooked. ❱ Green thinking and improved environment – unlike other heating methods, the “Inducook” system is

both cost effective and environmentally friendly. Induction heating is considered a very green solution, as the power consumption is far more regulated and is therefore less wasteful than other heating methods.

The controllability and fast reaction times reduce the overall power consumption during the initial start-up production run. The system is quiet, eliminating noise pollution makes for a better working environment. ❱ Energy consumption reduction – induction heating method converts up to 90% of electricity into useful heat. The stainless steel belt material in this application has a maximum working temperature of 425C. ❱ Extended belt life time – with similar cooking solutions frequent replacements of cooking belts are often required. The steel belt system is designed to maximise the belt life as in this system the steel belt life should be well in excess of 1,000,000 cycles thus making it possible to keep the service costs to a minimum. ❱ Other benefits – no open flames, no odours from burning heating materials, and relatively compact units.

The steel belt thickness of 0.3 mm, allows the use of smaller pulley diameters, thus saving space in machine design and reducing over all costs.

Strong partnership “Inducook”’s development success can be attributed to the fact that Justech AB has built up strong and solid partnerships. The key to the success of the “Inducook” project can be seen in the valued working relationship between Belt Technologies Europe and the trusted customer/partner Kalmar Kebab AB together with MagComp AB.This is a wonderful example of collaboration between machine builder,belt supplier and end user:a strong team which has brought about this unique cooking concept, bringing with it significant innovation in fast food production.

RADEMAKER BREAD LINE BAGUETTE PRODUCTION

R

ademaker are specialists in sheeting technology which provides important benefits above the traditional bread system. Sheeting makes it possible to handle a great variety of dough types, from ‘green’ to pre-fermented dough, all at high capacities. By using stress-free dough sheeters and laminating technology, users can achieve basically any dough and bread structure desired. The Rademaker Crusto breadline concept allows users to combine traditional bread types with artisan bread types, all produced on one sheeting system.

Baguettes, both basic French baguettes and artisan looking baguettes produced out of prefermented dough and containing a high water %, can be produced by in two ways on the Rademaker Crusto bread line: 1. Cut baguettes: After sheeting, the dough is shaped in rows by rotating knives or guillotine. Here the baguettes are cut at the desired length. Besides cut baguettes, this method is also suitable for ciabatta, triangles, square buns, hexagonal, cut baguettes, cut petit pain, barra rustica, flatbreads, pita and even pizza.

2. Rolled baguettes: After the sheeting stage sheeting, the dough shaped in rows by rotating knives and is cut at the desired length using the guillotine. Next, Rademaker’s moulding technology is applied to roll and shape the dough. Other products beside rolled baguettes can be produced in this way, f.e. rolled petit pain, barra rustica, free standing bread, tin bread, toast bread (open & closed top, 4 pieces), brioche and rolls.

The Rademader Crusto bread line is

RADEMAKER FP 2/14.indd 3

10/04/14 14.04

NEWS IN SHORT

IN SHORT

capable to handle capacities up to 6.000 kg/hr. The standard Rademaker Crusto bread line can cut 85 strokes/minute, ending up with 10.000 half baguettes or 5.100 long baguettes per hour. Special bread lines can produce up to 30.000 baguettes/hour, at 125 strokes/minute. Rademaker can guarantee an impressive weight accuracy on the baguette production; +/- 2,5 - 3% (+/-5 gram) on the total product weight.

An even higher weight accuracy is achieved by Rademaker’s patented weighing conveyor which can run up to +/- 1,5%.

The structure of the baguette, which is of course very important for bakers, is achieved through the Rademaker Moulding technology. The moulding table transfers dough slaps or pre-rolled slaps into consistent, smooth rolled dough products at the required diameter and length. The slaps are first coiled by a pre-moulding unit. This unit also ensure that the rolled slaps enter the moulding board in a straight alignment. The upper moulding belt guides the products to the guiding strips.

This shaping method imitates the hands of the baker when he smoothes the seam and stretches the dough.

The guiding strips contacts the product ends and calibrates the final length of the product. The Rademaker Moulding Board is able to process products between 1 ounce (30gr) and 5 pounds (2.3kg).

Garlic baguettes Rademaker is also capable to inject par-baked baguettes with garlic butter by using a special injecting system.

TOMACE, THE ANSWER TO SURFACE CORROSION, ADHESION, AND FRICTION.

T

omace is an ISO 9001 certified company specialised in fluorinated coatings. The experience acquired in over twenty years of activity allows us to meet any requirement concerning surface corrosion, adhesion, and friction.

We use fluoropolymer-based coating technology to improve the performance of mechanical components and meet specific production needs in various industrial sectors.

We provide a broad scope of application that ranges from packaging machine components, food, pharmaceutical, ceramics, and rubber plastic moulding industries, to wood processing machinery and the mechanical engineering industry in general.

The benefits you can enjoy include: easy cleaning of coated surfaces, increased productivity, less production waste, and a higher quality of the finished product.

The in-depth knowledge of every single coating according to the operating conditions of the component to be coated allows Tomace to identify the best solution to meet the customer’s need within its range or, if

TOMACE FP 2/14.indd 3

necessary, develop new tailor-made formulations.

The range of coatings is mainly based on fluoropolymers.

These high-tech materials provide the highest performance.

The main features of fluoropolymers can be summarised as follows: ❱ Low adhesion: the surface energy is very low, thereby ensuring excellent performance against wetting and adhesion of foreign substances. ❱ Environmental resistance: they are UV-transparent, extremely resistant to oxidation and they maintain their properties even at very low temperatures. Moreover, fluoropolymers resist against attacks by microorganisms and are not biodegradable. ❱ Light transmittance: they have high light transmittance values and a very low refractive index. ❱ Contaminant-free: they are intrinsically pure; therefore, they do not cause chemical pollution. ❱ Corrosion resistance: they resist to aggressive chemicals within a wide temperature range. ❱ Heat resistance: some fluorinated polymers provide a continuous op-

erating temperature of 260° C with even higher peaks for a short lapse of time. ❱ Fire resistance: some have an LOI above 95. Even the optical density of the smoke produced in the event of combustion is low. ❱ Wear resistance: they are among the materials with the lowest friction coefficient, which means also low abrasion. ❱ Electrical resistance: they have excellent properties, such as low power loss factor, high arc resistance, and high puncture resistance.

These features persist within a wide range of environmental conditions. ❱ Long service life: they feature excellent ageing resistance, even in the presence of high temperature or aggressive chemicals. They also feature high resistance to dynamic loads, such as vibrations and bending.

There are several types of fluoropolymers, all FDA-certified: PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene), and PFA (perfluoroalkoxy), which, combined with other resins, allow

the creation of an infinite variety of products with enhanced characteristics for every specific use.

PTFE The patriarch of the family of fluoropolymers, whose chemical name is polytetrafluoroethylene, abbreviated into PTFE. This fluoropolymer provides anti-friction coatings for non-stick surfaces with low friction coefficient. It can be used continuously at 300 °C and, intermittently, at up to 315 °C. It has a broad scope of application in the food, textile, rubber and plastics, automotive, paper, and packaging industries. In the chemical industry, the use of PTFE is quite limited due to its film permeability, low thickness (35/40 microns) and its sintered formation.

FEP A fluoropolymer derived from the patriarch, whose chemical name is fluorinated ethylene propylene, abbreviated into FEP. Unlike PTFE, FEP is a thermoplastic material; therefore, it melts when baked, thereby providing a coating with a non-porous surface.

FEP has excellent non-stick properties, low friction coefficient, and excellent chemical resistance.

Coatings with a thickness of up to 60 microns can be obtained as it allows for multiple layers. FEP coatings can be used continuously at 200 °C and, intermittently, at 205 °C. FEP is mainly used for industrial applications that require high anti-adhesion levels and excellent resistance against chemical corrosion. This is why it is mainly used in the chemical industry and to manufacture moulded parts, as its nonstick properties allow the mould to be removed easily.

PFA This fluoropolymer is also derived from the patriarch. Its chemical name is tetrafluoroethylene–per-

TOMACE FP 2/14.indd 4

fluoroalkyl in the form of partially crystalline powder. As FEP, PFA is a thermoplastic material; therefore, it provides a coating with a non-porous surface, low friction coefficient and excellent chemical resistance.

Moreover, it can be used continuously at 260 °C and intermittently at up to 310 °C. This material allows the creation of coatings with a thickness of over 150 microns in just a few layers. It resists against an even wider range of chemicals compared to FEP. Its mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties are similar to those of PTFE resin.

SOL GEL This is a new PTFE- and PFOA-free non-stick ceramic coating (all ceramic coatings are free of these components).

Being a ceramic coating, it is made to withstand extreme temperatures (850 °F/455 °C).

It does not contain polluting solvents and can be used at a lower temperature, which results in considerable energy and money savings.

We at Tomace are always committed to improving our service and products and maintain a high level of customer satisfaction.

Our technical personnel is at your

service to find the coating that best suits your needs and to solve any technical problem. We provide an attentive and highly customised service, as well as our consultancy and partnership in a market that requires ever-increasing professionalism.

We rely on an organisation and division of labour that ensure flexibility and dynamism, which translates into fast and efficient service.

We can provide a wide range of formulations specific for every industrial environment and application.

Customised and advanced formulations combined with great production flexibility for both large and small outputs.

METAL NETS AND CONVEYOR BELTS MADE OF ANY MATERIAL AND FOR ANY APPLICATION

I

n dozens of industrial sectors, ranging from food to metallurgical, automatic handling of the goods within the plant requires to manufacture conveyor belts having the most disparate shapes and features; and, in the same way, the most diverse building and industrial applications need stretched steel and metal nets made in the dimensions and using the materials that are more suited for the specific use they are intended to.

We at Larioreti turned this variety and the ability to tackle it accurately and timely, regardless from the request, into our strong point. We offer to you metal nets and conveyor belts in any possible configuration of material, mechanism and accessories offered by the market.

LARIORETI FP 2/14.indd 3

Larioreti is a small Italian enterprise, whose successful history, made above all of satisfied customers, is now approaching twenty five years. In our industry, differently from who merely offers standard products and large supplies, we stand out as the ideal counterparty for anybody has specific requirements, needs small production runs, advice on the possible solutions, and, above all, a fully customised final product, both with regards to its dimensions and its materials.

CONVEYOR BELTS it’s the key word in modern industrial world, throughout the diverse sectors it consists of: automation. Automation for being more accurate, more performing, and namely faster - also, and above all, in moving items along the production chains. Our metal

conveyor belts - which can be made not only of iron (pure or galvanized) and in stainless or carbon steel, but, upon request, of any suitable metal - are available both in round wire and flat wire of half round wire for especially even planes, allow air circulation, make cleaning and sterilization operations simple and are able to withstand extreme thermal and mechanical conditions, where no other product would be able to carry out its function.

In the field of the supplies to the industry, there are countless companies that, like us, are able to offer products whose technical features are absolutely spotless, made of strong and high quality materials.

But the real difference between the many possible suppliers lies in the service, and in non-standard works: we spend most of our care to these

matters. We don’t just offer a wide range of standard products and keep delivery times that are significantly shorter than the average times on the market, but we offer to our customers a number of special productions which are able to meet any need they may have - and this for any production volume, even the tiniest one.

There is no doubt, if we review the production volumes of metal nets and conveyor belts, that the vast majority consists of one of the few standard metals: steel (stainless or carbon) and iron (pure or galvanized). But, Larioreti is able to process any metal requested by its customers, in order to meet any specific need, being mechanical, physical or aesthetic.

In food industry, metal conveyor belts proved to be an ideal product, for their resistance to temperature and ease of cleaning. Regardless of the sector, bakery, pasta production, or the handling of fresh products such as vegetables, our conveyor belts for the food industry give their daily contribution for the correct operation of this important industrial branch.

ined. For this reason, in such cases tefloning is carried out, tefloned metal conveyor belts are actually non-stick and therefore ideal for said industry.

Metal belts are employed as well by the fishing industry: they have two features that are deemed essential for a transport in such field: on one side, obviously, their ease of cleaning - which is typical of any tool employed in the food sector and on the other, their resistance to the devastating effects of sea salt. Stainless steel conveyor belts,

which allow also an effective filtering controlled by the dimension of their mesh, combine both features.

Above all where it is carried out using thermoretractable plastic films, the packaging requires alternate cold and warm cycles to be completed successfully. With their structure that allows strong and even surfaces, but at the same time with a wide mesh that allows air circulation in both stages, metal conveyor belts prove to be ideal for this kind of applications as well.

One of the most typical issues of the frozen food industry consist of the risk that, due to the extremely low temperatures reached, the processed food gets stuck to the machinery, with the implied hygienic problems that can be easily imag-

REAL FORNI: MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY, REDUCED OVERALL DIMENSIONS AND LOW CONSUMPTION

F

or more than 50 years Real Forni has been working in the development of ovens and equipment for the baking sector supporting the professionals from all over the world in this important food sector. The new rotary oven Boss combines innovation and researches with the yearly experience and tradition of the company thus making Boss the reference model of its category.

Maximum efficiency, reduced overall dimensions and low consumption are the key features that allow the user to save energy and space, reduce the cost of maintenance and improve the result on the baked product.

A good ventilated baking for a rotary oven consists in the correct distribution of the heat and in the ability to bake the product with a gentle and abundant flow of air: this is the only way to equal the baking of a static

REAL FORNI FP 2/14.indd 3

oven.

Another ultimate point is the ability of the oven to produce a great quantity of steam in a very short time and to regenerate it for the following baking. Thanks to the steamer positioned in the middle of the air flow, the oven Boss guarantees quickness and power to obtain crumbly products with a crisp crust.

In the planning stage we have worked hard on the consumption and the results are real, indeed the oven Boss 60.80 heats up very quickly and it needs only 50.000 installed kcal/h! This is possible thanks to a system of baking endowed with two powerful fans and an heat exchanger with triple turn of fumes and to a system of insulation consisting in three layers of rock wool compressed panels.

As for the consumption, this system is extremely virtuous and with the addition of reduced overall dimen-

sions it is possible to position the oven side by side on its three sides.

These features give you the possibility to save a huge quantity of space inside your place in comparison to any other oven in commerce.

The range starts from the smallest 50.70 which is able to contain a trolley of 40x60, 40x80, 50x70 or 18”x26”of 16/18 trays, its reduced dimensions allow the transportation of the oven completely assembled. For trays 60x80 we can offer the classic Boss 60.80 with 18/20 trays or the “reduced” Boss with 16/18 trays (Boss 60.80 R) which is perfect for places not so high.

The range includes also the 60.100 model for trolleys 60x90, 60x100 and 80x80 and the largest Boss 80.100.

All models are available with gas or gas-oil burner or electric power supply. The ovens are provided with a lower platform for the rotative trolley

in order to have an easy entry of the trolley, a motorised flue valve and stainless steel side panels.

You can choose, as an optional feature, the fume exhaust from the rear wall of the oven or an advanced LCD display programmer.

There is also the brand new innovative and spectacular “Panorama” version which has a glass on the back side that enable the direct view of the baking process inside the oven, which is realized with a double inside glass with a very high insulation and with an external curved and openable glass for maximum safety, cleaning and beauty.

This oven is perfect to separate the laboratory from the sale zone and it can be a great attraction both in shopping centers and in small bakeries because it guarantees a privileged view on the baking process, keeping a clear division between laboratory and commercial zone.

A LCD display inserted on the top, exposed to the public, is also available. This LCD display shows the state and the type of product which is baking (Baguette - ready in 11 minutes) with photos in high resolution.

REAL FORNI: MAXIMALE LEISTUNG UND MINIMALER PLATZBEDARF, PERFEKTES BACKERGEBNIS UND GERINGE KOSTEN

S

eit 50 Jahren steht Real Forni den Vertretern der Backkunst aus aller Welt mit der Entwicklung von Öfen und Geräten für diese wichtige Lebensmittelbranche zur Seite. Innovation, Forschung, Erfahrung und höchster Respekt für Traditionen bilden die Grundlage zu dem neuen rotierenden Stikkenbackofen Boss.

REAL FORNI FP 2/14.indd 4

Ein Ofen, der keine Kompromisse eingeht, einzigartige Vorteile kombiniert und so zum Vorbild seiner Klasse wird. Maximale Leistung und minimaler Platzbedarf, perfektes Backergebnis und geringe Kosten: mit dem rotierenden Stikkenbackofen Boss spart man nicht nur Energie, Platz und Wartungskosten, man steigert auch die Qualität

der eigenen Produkte.

Um ein gutes Backergebnis sicherstellen zu können, muss der rotierende Stikkenbackofen nicht nur eine gleichmäßige Hitzeverteilung garantieren, sondern das Produkt auch ausreichend mit einem sanften Luftstrom versorgen. Nur so können mit Umluft dieselben Ergebnisse wie mit Ober- und Unterhitze

erzielt werden. Ebenso wichtig ist, dass der Ofen in kürzester Zeit große Mengen an Dampf erzeugen kann und gleichzeitig in der Lage ist, sich auf den nächsten Backvorgang vorzubereiten. Mit seinem Schwadenapparat, der inmitten des Luftstroms angeordnet ist, garantiert der Ofen Boss für kurze Backzeiten und hohe Leistung, die ihrerseits für innen weiches und außen knuspriges Gebäck sorgen.

Besonders intensiv wurde bei der Entwicklung auch am Energieverbrauch gearbeitet, mit greifbaren Ergebnissen. Trotz raschem Temperaturanstieg bedarf der Ofen Boss 60.80 einer installierten Heizleistung von nur 50.000 kcal/h.

Möglich macht dies ein Backsystem, das mit zwei leistungsstarken Ventilatoren und einem DreifachWärmetauscher ausgestattet ist.

Für eine effiziente Isolierung sorgen komprimierte Steinwollplatten, die in drei Schichten rund um das Backsystem angeordnet sind. Das System erweist sich dabei nicht nur als besonders energie- sondern auch als überaus platzsparend, da nur eine Front des Ofens frei bleiben muss. Im Vergleich zu allen anderen zurzeit auf dem Markt erhältlichen Öfen lassen sich in Backstube oder Geschäftslokal so Unmengen von Platz einsparen. Erhältlich ist Boss als „kleiner“ 50.70, für Stikkenwägen von 40x60, 40x80, 50x70 oder 18”x26” mit 16/18 Blechen. Dank seiner geringen Größe kann dieser Ofen vollmontiert transportiert und geliefert werden. Für 60x80-Bleche gibt es dann den Boss 60.80 in klassischer Ausführung für 18/20 Bleche oder in Niedrigausführung für 16/18 Bleche (Boss 60.80 R), ideal für Räume von geringer Höhe. Das Sortiment umfasst auch den 60.100 für Stikkenwägen von 60x90, 60x100 und 80x80 sowie den „großen“ Boss 80.100. Alle Modelle können mit Gasbrenner, Ölbrenner oder als Elektroofen betrieben werden. Die Öfen sind

im unteren Bereich mit einer Rotationsplattform ausgestattet, die ein einfaches Einschieben des Stikkenwagens ermöglicht. Außerdem verfügen sie über eine motorisierte Klappe zum Entschwaden der Backkammer und seitliche Abdeckungen aus Edelstahl. Auf Wunsch kann der Rauchabzug an der Hinterseite angeordnet und der Ofen mit einer fortschrittlichen, programmierbaren Steuerung auf LCDBildschirm ausgestattet werden.

Aufsehen erregend und innovativ ist auch die neueste Version Panorama, die über eine Glasrückwand den direkten Blick auf die Backkammer freigibt. Die interne Doppelverglasung garantiert dabei für höchste Isolierung, während die geschwungene Außenverglasung

geöffnet werden kann und für eine sichere Handhabung sowie ein sauberes und ansprechendes Erscheinungsbild sorgt. Als ideales Trennelement zwischen Backstube und Verkaufsraum zieht Panorama sowohl in Einkaufszentren als auch in kleinen Bäckereien alle Blicke auf sich. Mit seiner Glasrückwand bietet der Ofen einen einzigartigen Blick auf den Backvorgang und sorgt gleichzeitig für eine klare Trennung zwischen Backstube und Verkaufsbereich. Darüber hinaus ist auch ein LCD-Bildschirm verfügbar, der über der Glasfront angebracht werden kann und den Kunden zusammen mit einem Foto in hoher Auflösung über Backzeit und Produkt (Baguette - in 11 Minuten fertig) informiert.

PIGO: FROM EXPANSION IN THE AMERICAN MARKET TO TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS The industry-leading company presents its technological innovations and projects for the this year

I

n this issue we present some of the innovations by Pigo, world-wide leader in designing and manufacturing equipment and machines for fruit and vegetable production. There are three main news items: Pigo’s expansion in the American market; the development of new machines; and the improvement of cutting-edge machines, the Pitting Machine PG 103, and Easy Freeze.

We are also publishing the company’s updated trade show calendar.

and Canada, culminating with registration in the NWFPA (North West Food Processors Association) and the FPSA (Food Processing Suppliers Association); and to win over the rest of the United States. Pigo was present in the major trade shows in the U.S., particularly the Chicago Process Expo from November 3-6; in Michigan for the Great Lakes Fruit Expo, December 10-12; and finally, it will be present in Portland for the 2014 Expo, January 12-14.

EXPANSION IN THE AMERICAN MARKET

THE NEW MACHINES; INNOVATION IN CUSTOMER SERVICE

Pigo plans to further expand in the American market. The objective for 2014 will be two-fold: to confirm its solid presence in North America

Pigo has developed new machines such as: EASY Dry SPYRO, the best solution for drying various products.

PIGO FP 1-14.indd 3

With similar construction, Easy Dry SPYRO offers the same advantages as Easy Freeze SPYRO in terms of hygiene, ease of use, and energy efficiency.

WASHING MACHINE PG 018, is the new washer for fruits and vegetables with an innovative system of nozzles, valves, and filters.

MACHINE FOR CAULIFLOWERS PG 415, with new circular movement, sorts pieces of cauliflowers and automatically eliminated all waste through special blades designed by PIGO.

chines: A centralized lubricating system was installed on the PITTING MACHINE PG 103, which allows for fast, perfect lubrication.

A new, fast and effective automatic-wash system was installed on the EASY Freeze, allowing for a quick,thorough wash.

The innovative centralized lubricating system was also installed here.

NEW TRADE SHOWS SCHEDULED Pigo was present in the major trade shows in the U.S., particularly the Chicago Process Expo from November 3-6; in Michigan for the Great Lakes Fruit Expo, December 10-12; and in Portland for the 2014 Expo, January 12- 14.

This is the opinion they have in Pigo after the last exhibitions: “After a great success and a very profitable experience at Fruit Logistica in Berlin, and after our first time at the CFIA Rennes, we continue with an

important presence as a member of the Sacramento CFPL Process Expo and as a member of the AFFI-AFFI San Diego. These memberships confirm our new success in the U.S. market, and then we continued with our presence at Aahar International Fair in Delhi (10-14 March) and SEAFOOD PROCESSING BRUSSELS (2014).

The well-known Fruitlogistica was challenging but profitable for us, like

never before. The success and participation we had this year is much higher than the one we have ever had in all the years that we attended. It’s a great satisfaction and we had many impressions.

Then we exhibited in Rennes for the first time and it was a pleasure to be present for the first time in this area. It was a overwhelmingly positive experience that we hope to repeat in the next years.”
