STORCI, A TRIP ALL THE WAY AROUND THE WORLD BETWEEN TRADE FAIRS AND THE WEBSITE

A

ttendance at trade fairs is the best opportunity to engage in direct relations with customers and outside consultants; given the major importance it places on personal contact, Storci has created a special sector, highlighting the aspect of service and human relations.

For this reason, we will soon launch into a very busy fair season 2014/15. The first event on the calendar is Agroprodmash, which will be held in Moscow (6-8 October), where we will be able to present the complete line of technologies for the production of dried and fresh pasta, ready-to-serve foods and couscous. Also in October (28-31) Storci will be a featured player at home with Cibus Tec. The 2014 edition will be particularly interesting thanks to the strategic agreement between Cibus Tec, Food Pack and Anuga Food Tec which has given birth to an international network in support of the activities in the food sector, a concerted response to the needs of a company such as Storci, to allow it to coordinate its international trade fair calendar. It will be present here under the brand of the Storci-BS company network and it will have an attractive stand ready to welcome visitors interested in the world of pasta, couscous and ready-to-serve foods.

Parma and its area will provide the opportunity for a full-immersion experience of the world of pasta-making, and for this reason, during the trade fair, Storci will open its doors to all those interested in visiting its plant in Collecchio to get a closer, hands-on look at its technological design approach and production.

This will be followed by the renowned Gulfood Manufacturing event in partnership with Fava, in Dubai on 9-11 November 2014.

STORCI FP 3/14.indd 3

Created by the Dubai World Trade Centre as a spin-off of the famous Gulfood, this fair promises to become the main reference event in the Middle East in the food technology sector. One that is not-to-be-missed and for which very high attendance is expected. Co-participation with its partner, Fava, will provide Storci with tremendous visibility and their stand will be located in the Italian Pavilion, Hall 1, stand E1-34.

With the new year, Storci will take part in CFIA in Rennes (10-12 March), a trade fair with major impact, attracting visitors from throughout France and surrounding countries. Proof of this is the major attendance and long waiting list to take part in the event. In the same month, on 24-27 March, Storci will be in Cologne for Anuga FoodTec, the main preparatory event to IpackIma, and an opportunity for a dress rehearsal before the main event at Ipack-Ima/Expo 2015. Anuga FoodTec is one of the most important events in the world for food technologies. It is a prestigious opportunity for all those who wish to invest in know-how, contacts and innovation. This means that Storci will also be present in Germany, representing the Storci-BS company

network. As in the past, Storci will wrap up its trade fair calendar by taking part, along with Fava, as one of the leaders at Ipack-Ima, on 19-23 May 2015, an event that is part of the EXPO umbrella of events which, more than ever, is in line with the theme of this international exposition: “Nutrire il Pianeta” – “Feeding the Planet”. In addition, Storci, invites users to meet one another on its highly informative website. Storci has always devoted the maximum attention to communicating innovations, corporate news, and key markets in many ways: the website www.storci. com is the platform for dynamic institutional information, with all the latest news about technologies, products and company-related communications and activities. In addition to Italian, English and French, a fourth language has recently been added—Russian—to meet the needs of our customers who use the Cyrillic alphabet, thanks to the www.storci.com.ru domain.

With the language used online, it is possible to have rapid, constant and detailed updates. In the specialized press, over the years Storci has created a concrete message based on technology and products, through the company’s experience and customers’ word-of-mouth.

The result is a coherent press campaign which is a pure testimonial written in the real words of satisfied customers.

Packaging industry has vital part to play in reducing food waste Cristiano Madama is General Manager at LINPAC Packaging’s site in Verona.

A

s much as half of all the world’s food – amounting to two billion tonnes worth – is thrown away each year according to research. The packaging industry must take this opportunity to demonstrate the vital role packaging innovation can play in providing a solution to this major environmental disaster.

According to the study, by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, between 30 per cent and 50 per cent of the four billion tonnes of food produced around the world each year goes to waste and never makes it on to a plate.

The report, Global Food: Waste Not, Want Not, said the waste was being caused by poor storage, strict sell-by dates, bulk offers which encourage shoppers to buy more food than they need and consumer fussiness.

In addition, a report by Coldiretti, the Italian National Confederation of Farmers, revealed that every Italian throws away an average of 76kgs of food each year and food waste across the country reaches between five million and 10 million tonnes annually.

Such figures are truly shameful and demonstrate how important it is for

LINPAC FP 3/14.indd 3

retailers, food manufacturers and the packaging industry to work closer together to drive up innovation in the sector and develop real, robust solutions to the food waste problem.

As a genuine technical innovation, packaging ticks all the boxes. Plastic packaging is sustainable, reusable and recyclable and delivers on preserving, protecting and presenting food at its best. Without packaging the manufacture, transport, distribution and consumption of virtually every consumer good would be impossible.

At LINPAC we manufacture a range of sophisticated solutions for the protein, bakery, convenience, foodservice and fresh produce markets. Our innovations team strives to develop packaging which is creative and innovative and which addresses the food waste issue. At our site in Verona we manufacture a wide range of EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) packaging which has proved popular with all links in the Italian supply chain precisely because of its merits in keeping food fresher for longer.

Particularly in Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) applications, EPS gives excellent protection and preser-

vation qualities to food. Its insulating properties extend shelf life to reduce food waste and as a result the EPS tray has become a popular choice with manufacturers, retailers and consumers alike.

Indeed, our EPS LINfresh® Atmo trays for meat and fish have proved so successful in Italy that we recently installed new manufacturing capabilities at our Verona site to enable us to extend the range available to our Italian customers.

The LINfresh® Atmo 5 and 6 ranges were introduced for pre-packed meat and fish and designed for top-seal MAP applications. The packs combine low carbon EPS with barrier technology which helps to extend the shelf life of food by up to 300% when compared with traditional non-MAP packaging methods.

Moreover, fungi and bacteria cannot easily grow on EPS because of the material’s construction. Minimal bacteria growth means food will remain fresher for longer which benefits both retailers and consumers; for consumers it means they can store food at home for longer and for retailers, extended shelf life brings improved supply chain

09/07/14 14:19

efficiency and better inventory and order management. The spongy foam material also helps to cushion food, protecting it from damage during transit, minimising food waste across the supply chain as food makes its way between processor and consumer.

When used in conjunction with our complementary lidding film LINtop® PE HB, LINfresh® Atmo customers have the ultimate tray/film combination, giving excellent performance in terms of shelf life, presentation and protection for their meat and fish products.

In addition, LINfresh® Atmo trays have strong environmental credentials; as EPS is 98% air the trays are extremely lightweight and have the lightest carbon footprint on the market today, reducing manufacturers’ and retailers’ impact on the environment.

The tight economic situation in Italy will continue to drive demand for light-

er and cheaper packaging solutions like EPS. Product manufacturers committed to lowering costs whilst maintaining product quality as rising and volatile raw material and energy costs continue to plague businesses. At the same time, consumer price sensitivity and the shift in consumer spending patterns towards value for money products has become a major driver.

Lightweight packaging has become an important cost-cutting measure for Italian manufacturers as it generates savings in transport costs. Added to this is the raised awareness of the impact of packaging on the environment which means eco-friendly packaging like EPS is becoming a favoured choice.

EPS meets all the requirements of modern packaging with regards to the environment and recycling. It is 100% recyclable and does not produce any greenhouse gases on disposal. It uses

very little energy to manufacture - only 0.1% of total oil consumption is used to make EPS. Plus the energy consumption used in its manufacture can be recovered through incineration.

Quality, efficient packaging, like our LINfresh® Atmo trays, can significantly reduce waste across the entire supply chain by giving food a longer shelf life and ensuring food can be transported around the world safely and securely.

For food and drink products, long shelf life is a requirement to create low wastage rates between the packer filler and consumer. In the context of overall sustainability it is more and more evident that packaging should be regarded as part of the solution, not part of the problem as is sometimes the case, and a net contributor to achieving sustainable resource management and food waste reduction.

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 3/14.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-

29/05/14 14.11

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 3/14.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

29/05/14 14.11

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 3/14.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 3/14.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.

The first company in Europe to eliminate solvents from the production of plastic films for food

THE ITALIAN COMPANY AMB LAUNCHES WATER-BASED PRODUCTION

T

he official announcement was made in Dusseldorf, Germany, during the Interpack international trade fair held in May 2014. A true revolution that offers important, visible benefits: thanks to the absence of solvents, food products are completely protected from the migration of undesirable substances, while maintaining excellent quality. The project was developed in collaboration with Comexi, Actega, Sun Chemical, BASF and Dow Chemical

AMB FP 3/14.indd 3

AMB S.p.A., an Italian company that sets the international standard for the production of multilayer plastic films destined primarily for food packaging, has created for the first time in Europe a completely waterbased production line that eliminates the solvents that are currently used in this sector in the manner provided for in legislation.

The official announcement by AMB was made in Dusseldorf, Germany, during the Interpack international

trade fair. The Italian company is participating in the fair with a spacious exhibition area and a section dedicated to the important innovation of water-based production of plastic films.

Water-based production is a true revolution in the world of plastic that offers important, visible benefits: thanks to the absence of solvents, food products are completely protected from the migration of undesirable substances. This is

27/06/14 17:16

achieved while maintaining excellent production quality, including identical colours, graphical versatility, and the potential for attractive solutions and finishes. Water-based technology represents an undeniable competitive advantage for all companies that offer foods made with superior quality ingredients (for example organic or baby food).

It also protects the environment and provides an early solution to increasingly restrictive packaging regulations.

AMB water-based production is an ambitious project that has come to fruition after a total investment of 5 million euros and two years of intense effort. Collaboration with high-calibre international partners was essential in achieving this objective. These partners included: Comexi for the equipment, Actega and Sun Chemical for the inks, and BASF and Dow Chemical for the glues and adhesives. The work group was united by a single objective – to perfect a production method that eliminates atmospheric solvent emissions while maintaining the excellent quality of the final product, particularly with respect to the colour and finishes.

Bruno Marin, the President and CEO of AMB, stated: “Water-based printing offers clear advantages for the environment and the consumer, but

it is not at all common in the plastics sector. In Europe, in fact, it is nonexistent due primarily to problems relating to colour transfer, an issue that solvents have always enabled manufacturers to avoid. Taking into consideration the increasingly strict regulations regarding atmospheric emissions and staying true to our nature as an innovative company, we decided to invest in water-based production. After two years of work by a team of a dozen engineers and specialized technicians, as well as our invaluable international partners, the purchase of new, suitably modified machinery and the construction of a new 2,000 m2 plant, we can say that water-based production is not only possible but that the quality is equal to or better than

that achieved with solvents. Finally, there is no increase in production times”.

Marin continued: “The water-based project is a positive example of industrial development, made possible through collaboration among companies that believe innovation is a fundamental principle. This is not a reaction to a legal obligation, but rather a response to a global change with respect to environmental sustainability, a change that will increasingly affect every industry.

Those who are ready will be able to capitalize on their own competitive advantage. In addition, final consumers have developed a greater interest in knowing how the products they purchase are made, including the packaging. In this case as well, being able to completely exclude the possibility of solvent contamination thanks to the use of water-based production will make the difference”.

Water-based production has already begun at the AMB plant, but it is still in the experimental stage.

This stage will continue until next autumn, when AMB inaugurates the first water-based production facility in Europe for manufacturing multilayer plastic films.

De-metallization with perfect register and rotogravure printing with pearlescent effects. The special processes presented at Interpack 2014 by CIESD, which also brought to the fair its portfolio of experience…and dreams.

CIESD srl, A CHOICE TO TAKE YOU FURTHER

H

ISTORY “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams”.

Eleanor Roosvelt CIESD Srl was founded in 1979 as the realization of a dream of Francesco Petrillo, who with it created a family company that is now renowned in Italy as well as internationally, and who has managed to pass on the values that have always distinguished his concern on the market not only to his daughters Manuela and Marica, but also to all CIESD’s employees.

PRODUCTION CIESD is a leading Italian Company in the fields of twistable film production, rotogravure printing (including cold seal applications) and lamination of various films for the food sector (confectionary, dairy, bakery, snacks, coffee, drinks, etc.). Over the years, the demands of the market and a willingness to offer an ever increasingly painstaking, precise and specialized service have enabled CIESD to invest in new production processes, such as the metallization and the de-metallization of flexible films of various types, focusing, on one hand on independence from outsourcers, and on the other, on expanding its product portfolio.

During these years, the Company’s drive to devise new and appealing solutions has enabled it to develop two special processes, both of which were presented at Interpack 2014 in Düsseldorf: PERFECT REGISTER DE-METALLISATION

CIESD FP 3/14.indd 3

and PEARLESCENT PRINTING on various packaging types. Both processes enhance the prestige of the packaged product, increasing its visibility and drawing the consumer’s attention.

QUALITY The entire production process, from the select raw materials to the finished product, is closely followed and controlled in such a way as to guarantee the quality of the final product, which is also guaranteed

by UNI EN ISO 9001 and BRC-IoP certifications.

ENVIRONMENT CIESD has always been committed to protecting the environment, zeroing its aerial emissions and managing all production processes, and the waste generated by them, in an ethical and responsible manner.

ADDED VALUE Choosing CIESD does not just mean choosing a supplier, but rather choosing a partner committed to

Petrillo Francesco Manuela e Marica the customer’s day-to-day necessities, guaranteeing professionalism, reliability, punctuality and cooperation.

CIESD is a dream of a family that continues to prosper, but most importantly, it is a reality to be experienced and appreciated.

BREAKING NEWS

A

s usual for CT Pack habit even this year we’re glad to introduce you to several innovative concepts and manufactured lines for the food industry packaging technology.

It’s in our aim to reach you with the description of just some of this new equipments which vary from ice cream complete packaging line to high capacity complete handling streaming and packaging systems for biscuits both in single and stacked confectionary style.

We also like to renew our interests in finding new customers and consolidate our business partnership with the current ones as demonstrated with our presence to

the just past Interpack exhibition and to the incoming main exhibition events.

CT PACK at Interpack 2014 - Dusseldorf 2014 Interpack 2014 edition has seen CT PACK among the most innovative and high technology profile companies, getting great success and much interest in the exhibited solutions: Flow-wrapping machine with special sealing head, for soft and naked food products.

New and exclusive complete packaging line for product flow-wrapping and boxing designed as a “Dual Independent lane Primary and Secondary Packaging Solu-

tion”. Each line totally independent giving the option of two difffferent products and fifilm on the same machine.

Also offering the option of “stand-by” lane negating the need for buffering. Production capacity of over then 1200 products per minute. Furthermore allows the integration of two complete lines integrated in the footprint of one single line.

CT PACK Primary Packaging Line for Stacked biscuits One of the latest developments of CT Pack is an innovative packaging line for biscuits in stacks in operation in East Europe. With more than 3000 incoming products the solution is one of the most space saving systems in relation to its capacity. The products coming in rows are spread and streamed into two packaging legs.

Each packaging leg handles half of the production, providing for the merging of

CT PACK FP 3/14.indd 4

23/07/14 11:05

the flows and stacking of the products in order to create 4 product stacks and finally the primary wrapping of the stacked products, by means of the well-known and proven MMH2 dual-lane flowrapping machine.

The two parallel legs develop the foot print in a single direction way thus reducing the impact on the layout and allowing single operator manning. The line, as per CT Pack’s construction style, is totally made in stainless steel material and equipped with the most rigid safety rules and hygienic standards, resulting in a simple and user friendly packaging line.

CT PACK Complete Packaging Line for Extruded Ice Cream A very important and strategic complete packaging line has been recently commissioned in USA for the ice cream field. CT Pack designed a complete line which provides all the operations from the naked product feeding to the primary packaging and to the case packing. The line receives more than 600 products per minute, in rows, from the freezing tunnel and distributes them to two double-lane flowpack machines.

Then the line performs the loading of boxes by a robotic top loading system and conveys the boxes to the robotic case packer where the loading of outer cases takes place in a very flexible way.

All kinds of containers (trays, boxes, outer cases, etc.) are handled by CT Pack machines for erecting, filling and closing

Next Event In the next months CT Pack will attend two important exhibitions: › Eurasia Packaging 2014 in Istanbul, from the 18th to the 21st of September › PMMI Pack Expo (South hall, Stand 4071) in Chicago where CT Pack will present for the first time a great innovation for the primary packaging feeding system. CT Pack is pleased to invite you to visit our stand on this occasion.

Automation Machinery: automatic plastic and paper unwrapper machine

T

his machine is used to automatically feed one or more seamers with unwrapped sticks of ends that were previously shrink-wrapped with plastic film or ends in paper bags.

The machine takes the sticks of ends from the hopper.

In the paper project, a knife cuts the paper bag longitudinally and it is then ejected into a collecting bag.

In the plastic project, a hot air knife cuts the plastic film longitudinally and it is then ejected into a collecting bag.

After that, the expulsion device exerts a constant pressure to push the ends to the seamer.

This system increases production capacity and provides for a perfect cut of the film on both sides of the stick, avoiding any damage to the product and allowing a costant outflow of the ends.

The standard hopper assures 50 min-

CORIMA FP 3/14.indd 3

utes’ autonomy of continuous production (of ø 73mm standard sanitary ends at 600 e.p.m.).

Corima International Machinery can supply a wide range of conveyors connecting the outlet of the unwrapper to the seamer to meet the customer’s specific requirements.

Optional: double hopper providing autonomy of 1 hour; and Ergonomic hopper to make loading easier for the operator.

END TYPE: standard sanitary ends, easy open ends, aerosol bottoms and domes, general line components.

END DIMENSION: ø 52 mm (200) to 155 mm (603).

STICK LENGTH: from 250 mm to 1200 mm.

OUTPUT: up to 5 rolls/minute.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS: 10 Kw, 380 V, 50/60 Hz, 3-phase. (easily adaptable to other standard) AIR CONSUMPTION: 400-600 l/minute at 6 Bar (average).

Upon request the machine can be customized according to customer specifications.

CSB-SYSTEM SPEEDS UP CHEESE ORDER AND PICKING PROCESS

A

n advanced intralogistics system devised by CSB-System International for leading Swiss cheese producer Züger Frischkäse AG in Oberbüren has automated the company’s stock control process while delivering a 50% time saving in picking speeds.

Züger Frischkäse produces a range of cheeses including mozzarella, feta, ricotta and mascarpone. The company’s production is already characterised by a high degree of automation and fully integrated information technology, and CSBSystem was asked to modernise its intralogistics to provide seamless link to the picking and replenishment processes.

The CSB-System solution combines high bay storage with mobile picking. Every pallet in the high bay storage is linked to the system with its minimum sell-by date and lot

CSB FP 3-14.indd 3

number. This ensures that bays are filled according to the first-in, firstout principle.

In addition, the system provides an extra degree of control using master data from the ERP software. For example, the pallet height and the maximum weight can be checked.

The master data can also specify whether the item first needs to be forwarded to a quick freezing position, and in which segment of the warehouse and at what height it is stored.

The inventory management computer communicates with the CSBSystem via defined interfaces to handle the automatic removal of pallets for replenishment during the picking process.

Picking itself is paperless, using wireless technology to directly transmit to touch panels on the electric forklifts. The screen shows

in which area of the picking zone the pallet with the required product can be found.

Using Bluetooth scanners, the pallet label is scanned, the corresponding number of items removed, and the pick quantity confirmed. If a pallet is emptied, a new one is requisitioned automatically from the high bay storage, ensuring ongoing replenishment in the packing zone and that customer orders can be processed very quickly and efficiently.

Overall Züger reports a 50% saving compared to its previous operation while the error rate has been minimised.

“We have elevated this area to a completely new level,” comments deputy CEO Markus Züger. “Today we are in a position to respond quickly and flexibly to customer demands.”

innissen Process Technology specializes in the development and production of process technologies for the feed, food, pharma and chemical industries. Dinnissen offers a wide range of crushers, hammer mills, roller mills, and knife mills for grinding, crushing and micronizing a wide variety of ingredients. Dinnissen’s newest hammer mill is equipped with increased screen surface, extra-large grinding panels, and an automatic screen exchanger in combination with a wide range of screens. As a result, the newest hammer mill provides clients with significantly increased grinding capacity, less downtime, and greater flexibility. This innovation will be present during VIV, Interpack, Schüttgut and Victam coming months.

Ingenious screen panel construction results in increased screen surface Hammer mills are especially suited for grinding soft to medium-hard products such as grains, raw ingredients containing proteins, and minerals down to particle sizes of between 3 mm and 150 µ. In Dinnissen’s hammer mills, freely suspended hammers rotate at high speed inside the grinding chamber. Depending upon the components being ground down, single hammers or double hammers can be used. The centrifugal force produced by the rotating hammers crushes the product into smaller particles against special grinding panels on the inside of the grinding chamber, after which the processed product passes throu-

gh special screening panels before exiting the hammer mill. The screen surface and perforations determine the capacity, quality and effectiveness of the screening process, which is why Dinnissen has made significant investments in developing innovative solutions in this area.

Increased surface area of grinding panels provides greater grinding capacity Dinnissen’s new hammer mill features an ingenious and innovative design which significantly increases the surface area of the grinding panels as well as screen panels inside the hammer mill. This results in increased grinding as well as screening capacity. In addition, the screen storage facility is fitted with an extra-wide chamber, making it easier to carry out maintenance and replace damaged screens whenever necessary. This in turn reduces downtime during maintenance stops and increases the overall efficiency of the new hammer mill. The maximum speed of the new system is 1500 revolutions per minute, which means that it has a longer usable lifetime and is more energy-efficient than its predecessors. The built-in magnets and traps for unwanted hard objects also prevent damage to the screens from the presence of iron objects or other hard materials. This also increases the efficiency of the new hammer mill at a very low noise level.

Mechatronic screen exchanger offers optimum flexibility Dinnissen has designed a new and

innovative screen changing system for its newest hammer mill, which offers increased speed, ease-of-use and reliability to clients who regularly switch between different ingredients and product specifications. The automatic screen exchanger has enough space for 4 to 6 sets of different screen panels, making it possible for the system to automatically select the appropriate screen perforation and thereby grind the raw ingredients into the desired product within optimum structure and particle size. The mechatronic screen exchanger system automatically chooses and places the correct set of screen panels in the hammer mill. After completion of the production process, the screen exchanger also removes and stores the set of screens within 40 seconds. This makes it possible to change from one set of screens to another very quickly and efficiently and greatly reduces downtime. It also greatly reduces the risk of the wrong screen panels being used. The automatic screen exchanger can also be fitted with a screen detection system, making it possible to identify and report the right selection to the control room.

COMPLETE, TURNKEY AND TAILOR-MADE SOLUTIONS FOR DAIRY BUSINESS ICF & Welko grants quality, production efficiency and energy saving in full compliance with the strictest international standards

M

ilk is broadly acknowledged as a complete staple: nature created a unique way of feeding babies safely and completely, providing nutrients, proteins and essential fats in equal proportions. Yet, milk has a cardinal role also in adults’ lives since it contains essential vitamins and mineral salts.

Increasing demand of special products (infant food, nutraceuticals, functional food) with special characteristics generates new challenges for plants manufacturers such as ICF & Welko: thanks to its extensive experience in processing plants for the food industry, especially for the dairy and beverage sectors, this company provides turnkey solutions for the production of any kind of milk powder while granting quality, production efficiency and energy saving, in full compliance with the strictest international hygiene, safety and environmental standards.

The only limitations to its use are to be connected to its own exceptional features: since this is a food rich in nutrients, it may well be attacked and contaminated by microorganism, pathogenic and not, and even when it undergoes thermal treatment, its life cannot be longer than 6 days for standard pasteurization, and 25 days for ESL.

Owing to its background as an engineering company, ICF & Welko designs and builds tailor-made plants, offers utmost process flexibility, making use of all automation levels. It also provides technical, technological and engineering support by interacting with all the players of the dairy business, from well-known multinationals to small firms committed to competing in the market thanks to a winning idea or firstclass product.

Moreover, since milk is also made of 90% water, volumes to be transported are relevant and transport itself may be expensive in economical and environmental terms. It follows that most consumers depend on local suppliers and fresh milk market is subject to substantially important variations.

UHT high-temperature treatment enables from the one hand to extend the shelf-life of the product, while from the other hand it reduces its vitamin content and changes its sensorial profile: UHT milk is characterized by so-called “cooked” taste, due to sugar caramelization, volumes to be transported remain the same and therefore the problems connected to the consumption of fresh milk remain.

ICF & WELCO FP 3/14.indd 3

Thanks to spray drying, milk is more available in terms of geography and shelf-life: milk powder can be transported everywhere inexpensively, on account of its lower weight and volume, and then preserved up to two years while maintaining its nutritional and sensorial characteristics unaltered.

Making use of its widespread assistance network and partnerships, in any part of the world, ICF & Welko guarantees assistance within 24 hours from the request.

Its pride is customer’s satisfaction, real and concrete, since most of its turnover consists of customers wanting to increase their production capacity, improve quality, diversify their investments by extending their product range.

1L Milk bottle with DCU. The alternative to HDPE and carton for Milk

T

HE PROJECT To develop an alternative monolayer PET bottle to alternative to multilayer HDPE and carton for ESL and UHT milk to decrease the production cost.

THE SOLUTION P.E.T. Engineering and Novapet, in collaboration with Husky Injection Molding Systems, work together on barrier materials and additives to make PET be the most suitable material for any liquid product, especially for sensitive ones which require full light prevention to preserve all the properties and taste.

single-stage process. The great simplicity of its injection process leads to a reduced production waste and the light-weighting permits less production costs per bottle.

From today the monolayer PET bottle is a real alternative to multilayer

HDPE and carton for ESL and UHT milk.

The 1L milk bottle with DCU was among the finalists in the Best packaging innovation category in the 2014 World Dairy Innovation Awards.

At the same time, P.E.T. Engineering is focused on the reduction of production costs while maintaining a high mechanical performance of the container.

The result of this cooperation is an ultra-light bottle for milk weighing only 19.5g for extended shelf life milk and 21.5g for UHT, which means, respectively, 15.2% and 10.4 % less than the weight of the lightest containers currently on the market.

This new light-weight, together with a combined study on preform and container, comes also from the use of DCU, an alternative to multilayer preforms currently used in the dairy industry.

DCU, by Novapet, allows the same barrier performance of a multilayer preform but with lower machinery costs because it is an additive that can easily be added to PET using a

SAVE TIME WITH THE AUTOMATIC BLANK MAGAZINE EASY-LOAD

C

ompanies operating in the Food & Beverage sector have to face a more and more competitive market and are required to offer a constantly diversified range of products, in order to meet the consumer’s disparate exigencies.

Therefore, the solutions implemented by packaging machine manufacturers are expected to be innovative, cost-effective, efficient, sustainable and able to realize appealing packages.

Smiflexi range of automatic packers provides the end user all the technical and functional specifications required to manage production cycles efficiently and economically and to enable quick switch from one format to another.

Among the new opportunities offered

by Smiflexi division there is the innovative Easy-Load cardboard blanks magazine, an accessory device (available both for the wrap-around case packers of the WP series and the heat-shrinkwrappers of the SK series) which features considerable advantages from an operating and functional point of view.

With Easy-Load the operator can easily load cardboard blanks - stacked horizontally in uniform groups - because the feeding belt of the magazine is positoned at the same working height as the packer’s infeed belt, rather than under it. The innovative solution devised by SMI eliminates the disadvantages related to the manual loading of the cardboard blanks magazine, which force the operator to bend his/her body continuously to place the blanks in the

SMI FP 3/14.indd 3

bottom part of the machine. The operator just places the cardboard blank stacks on the outermost roller conveyor so that the automatic control system can perform all the subsequent steps.

Thanks to specific sensors, the layout and feed of the cardboard blanks on the conveyor belts fitted with the motorized roller and their loading into the packer’s magazine is, in fact, fully automated.

Moreover, with the innovative EasyLoad system, even the unloading of the cardboard blanks is performed automatically, after processing a certain format, through a series of steps carried out in reverse order as compared to the loading steps.

Fridge packs realized by SMI wrap-around packers The technology used in the Easy-Load magazine also features the great advantage of ensuring fluid and constant picking operations with a wide range of cardboard blanks having a thickness between 0.5 mm and 5 mm Thanks to the innovative Easy-Load cardboard blanks magazine, Smiflexi wrap-around packers of the WP are able to meet multiple exigencies: they can pack different types of products (glass, PET, cans, etc.) in different kinds of containers, of large or small size: kraft-paper boxes, microwave or corrugated cardboard boxes.

Smiflexi wrap-around packers of the WP series can pack bottles and cans in cardboard boxes, called Fridge Packs,

specifically designed to fit into the limited space offered by fridge compartments. Thanks to an innovative design, a pre-scored breakaway panel allows the consumer to conveniently take out of the package just the bottle or can he actually needs. The box thus becomes a dispenser of the products included in the packs.

The technology used in the Smiflexi “Easy-Load” magazine features the great advantage of using Kraft-paper with a wrap-around packer. Kraft paper ensures a solid packaging, despite its reduced thickness. The polish, white surface of kraft paper is an optimal solution, ensuring excellent printability and appealing graphics, in order to draw the customer’s attention on the products displayed on the shelves at the sales outlets.

Interpack 2014: Südpack showcases a variety of innovations in their anniversary year

Products combine safety, sustainability and convenience

C

elebrating the group’s 50th anniversary, Südpack Verpackungen GmbH & Co. KG presented a new dimension of film at interpack 2014.

The company also showcased highperformance films designed for secure sealing even with contaminated seams, and films that fit the product like a second skin. One of this year’s highlights is a new member of the re-sealable family Multipeel: Multipeel on Mono APET.

Innovation from Southern Germany: Veraplex Veraplex is the main focus of the company’s presentation at interpack. This new type of film was designed and developed by packaging specialists based on a unique technology. “Veraplex achieves an outstanding thickness-function performance ratio that is unprecedented in today’s market. It’s the film of the future,” said Südpack Managing Partner Johannes Remmele. “Interpack is the packaging industry’s leading trade event and a perfect place to introduce our new film.”

Veraplex uses far less material and saves valuable resources. The film is well suited for lamination with paper, which also improves eco sustainability by reducing the amount of film required while maintaining the same product protection properties. Veraplex combined with paper also convinces when it comes to product presentation. The renewable resource ensures stability while

maintaining a natural look and feel.

Consumers instantly recognize the ecological advantages of the packaging – a persuasive factor at point of sale.

Sealing layer expertise The name SafePeel stands for top films for trays. Its special sealing medium works perfectly with contaminated seams. The packaging

Veraplex combines maximum product protection with a minimum amount of material. With a thickness of just 25 µm, the film is extremely thin, yet offers maximum puncture resistance with an extremely high oxygen and aroma barrier. The film is suitable for products with high mechanical requirements and for aggressive bulk products.

can be peeled open for maximum consumer comfort. SafePeel film is also characterized by excellent anti-fog properties, which prevents unsightly water drops.

Südpack also introduces two new tray films to the international trade show audience at interpack. SafePeel Hot and CanLid Peel offer outstanding sealing properties and are designed for use in ovens and microwaves. Thanks to excellent sealing properties, SafePeel Hot can be pasteurized and is ideal for convenience products. Polypropylene (PP) is used as a sealing medium in the tray and top film. SafePeel Hot is extremely durable and fulfills the highest safety requirements, even with multi-chamber trays.

Easy-to-use CanLid Peel top film for trays offers outstanding barrier properties and is extremely durable. The white top film offers the best possible visual cover, protects the packaged product from light and enables a wide variety of eyecatching designs to attract attention at point of sale. Both SafePeel Hot and CanLid Peel offer a long processing window and can be pasteurized to prevent germ formation, thus extending product shelf life.

Suedpack FP 3/14.indd 4

Multi S V top film is another innovation from Südpack designed to completely seal the product. The top film tightly fits the product without changing its shape or form. Multi S V offers outstanding barrier properties and is puncture-resistant.

At the same time, the film is highly transparent and offers a clear view of the product. Südpack supplies both the top film Multi S V and base films, which enables the company to perfectly match properties. Packages can be easily and smoothly opened without forming threads.

packaged goods. This extends their shelf life and facilitates optimal gas exchange, especially for cheese products. The packaging is persuasive at point of sale thanks to its brilliant shine and clear view of the product inside. Packaging solutions with Multipeel on Mono APET use far less material and are especially suitable for manufacturers that support eco sustainability. The amount of material in the overall packaging can be reduced by up to 20 percent without sacrificing product protection.

Expertise in re-sealable packaging Südpack further presented a new development in the established Multipeel series: Multipeel on Mono APET. The re-sealable film can be processed on all thermoforming machines and is particularly tearresistant. Multipeel on Mono APET is easy to re-seal thanks to its very rigid material. At the same time, the top and base films are extremely thin, which saves weight and storage space while providing the accustomed protection for packaged goods and efficient handling, for instance during roll changes. The barrier properties of Multipeel on Mono APET can be flexibly adapted to meet the requirements of the

Südpack Medica: Maximum quality and safety Südpack Medica, a subsidiary of the Südpack Group, presented a wide range of medical films and sterile packaging products at interpack 2014.

Kingmar. The specialist for fresh cheese machines

Many dairies provide fresh cheese in their product range.

The market is growing steadily, but the machines lagged behind for a long time until the foundation of Kingmar.

The Dutch company makes its mark by developing and manufacturing machines and production lines purpose-built for fresh cheese. The emphasis is set on a good cost-performance ratio in terms of low investment and low maintenance cost for powerful machines.

F

ully committed to fresh cheese Kingmar originated from the JH-Group which is located in Holland and specialising in metal and machine construction (for further information, see www.jurryhekkingmetaal.nl). Based on many years of experience with machines for fresh cheese production, Kingmar has been founded as a new brand. Jurry Hekking, the owner of Kingmar, says: “Of course there are machines for producing and processing fresh cheese. Unfortunately, most of them are not especially designed for it. Kingmar is different, because it takes care of the product´s fragility.”

surprises after installation and the production can start right away.

The complete range can be used in combination with other machines or on its own.

Kingmar filter press The Kingmar filter press is a special system to produce fresh cheese in a so-called “hang up” way by using filter press bags. As soon as the bags are filled with the product, the side walls of the press slowly move

towards each other. The percentage of dry matter determines the required time. Being built of stainless steel, the machine is very robust and offers a powerful operating system.

More continuity and efficiency The bags can be filled either manually or semi-automatically. In that case, the filling will be even more consistent. Also, the machine can be connected to CIP cleaning after-

Very product- and user-friendly All Kingmar machines have been extensively tested by experienced cheese manufacturers concerning their ease of use and functionality.

Wherever necessary, adjustments have been executed. This ensures that Kingmar machines are, in the end, a real big improvement in comparison to current systems. Another major advantage of Kingmar is that a complete system is purchased.

Once bought, there won´t be any

wards. Therefore, during the whole production process human hands are no longer required. This reduces the risk of contamination and saves labour. For this reason, the semiautomatic filter press of Kingmar is an ideal solution for manufacturers who aim to produce fresh cheese in a more efficient and consistent way.

Kingmar washer After emptying, the filter press bags can be easily cleaned with the Kingmar washer. This industrial machine is especially manufactured for a large number of bags to be cleaned and disinfected in an efficient and quick manner. The washing drum is designed for preserving the life-time of the filter press bags.

For ease of use, the washing programs can be individually compiled.

All in all, the Kingmar washer is an indispensable machine for hygienic production.

Kingmar filling machine and mixer The Kingmar filling machine is designed to quickly and hygienically process large amounts of fresh cheese into smaller portions. By using the justification “height”, the machine can be even easier filled and emptied. The Kingmar mixer allows for merging fresh cheese with ingredients like e.g. herbs. There has been a lot of attention paid to the requirement of preserving the specific structure of the product while mixing it. By that way, an ex-

cellent machine has been invented.

Also, the mixer can be combined with the filling machine for an even greater ease of use.

Kingmar moulding machine The Kingmar moulding machine is definitely a very unique machine due to the fact that it is able to create any shape required. The funnel drain provides beautiful, wellstocked products. As a result, all of them have an equal size and weight.

The transportation unit forwards them immediately, so that they just need to be packed up. The machine includes various shapes and it is also possible to fill the fresh cheese products in an individual way. Of

course, the structure of the fresh cheese is being preserved during the whole process.

Kingmar filling machine For example, it is possible to fill in peppers or olives and stuff puff pastry by using the foot or hand pedal of the Kingmar filling machine. Also, multiple people can be integrated in the work process. In case there are large amounts of fresh cheese or similar products to be processed, it is possible to combine the Kingmar filling machine with the moulding machine. By that way, you are even faster and more flexible.

Kingmar Experience Center If you would like to try Kingmar machines – for example with your own product – you are cordially invited to visit the Kingmar Experience Center. There you have the chance to test them in detail and without time pressure. Of course, we supply plenty of guidance, explanation and support. Be assured, this is the ideal way to determine whether Kingmar machines suit your product range.

BIODEGRADABLE PACKAGING - LESS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ACROSS THE SUPPLY CHAIN

K

esko Food was the first in Europe to start using Plastiroll’s new and innovative biodegradable, transparent packaging film. New packaging material helps Kesko Food further with the objective set in Kesko’s responsibility programme for mitigating climate change and promoting the sustainable use of natural resources. In addition to the company’s own operations, the objectives of Kesko’s responsibility programme include reducing environmental impact across the whole supply chain all the way to the customer. This objective is well achieved in the case of the new biodegradable packaging material.

Kesko Food started cooperation with Plastiroll Oy Ltd concerning the packaging of Pirkka vegetables some years ago. Packaging material has been and continues to be developed in close cooperation with Plastiroll and Uudenmaan Vihannes Oy, the vegetable packaging company.

“For several years, Kesko Food has examined the possibility of using packaging material which would have the smallest possible environmental impact. The material introduced is certified to meet the EN13432 standard and fulfills the criteria for biodegradability and the product safety and quality requirements for vegetable packaging,” says Heini Haverinen, Product Quality Manager of Kesko Food.

Plastiroll’s biodegradable film is excellent for packing vegetables Packaging material is made from

PLASTIROLL FP 3/14.indd 3

starch based renewable raw material, and since it does not contain any genetically modified organisms, it is GMO free. The packaging can be disposed of by composting.

This biodegradable film reduces total waste of fresh products considerably by extending the shelf-life of foods. Thus also the amount of waste generated from packaging materials in retail store decreases.

Plastiroll’s biodegradable material is excellent for packing vegetables.

It is breathable and the inside moisture will no condense on the inner surface of the film, which means that vegetables keep fresh in the package. Compared with packaging material used before, there has been no waste caused by torn film. Additional benefit is that the package also serves the consumer as a bio waste bag.

Environmental benefits of packaging communicated to store customers Compostable and 100% biodegradable packaging material is a competitive asset for stores. Kesko Food has communicated the issue widely to customers via both traditional and social media channels.

Product labels on packages clearly indicate that the material is biodegradable. In-store material, marketing and communications have been used to increase customer awareness of biodegradable packaging and its properties.

Most consumer feedback has been good as consumers are increasingly aware of the environmental impacts of both companies’ and their own actions. When asked for feedback, most of the stores and

fruit and vegetables department managers have also been satisfied and expressed a wish for more products in biodegradable packaging.

Potential for further use is explored So far, three products have been packed in biodegradable material: onion bunches, Chinese cabbage

and leek.

Development work continues and Kesko Food is currently exploring possibilities of increasing the use of the material.

BIODEGRADABLE PACKAGING BIOLOGISCH ABBAUBARE VERPACKUNGEN VERRINGERN UMWELTBELASTUNG DER GESAMTEN LIEFERKETTE

R

uokakesko begann als Erster in Finnland und in ganz Europa die von Plastiroll produzierten neuartigen und innovativen biologisch abbaubauren, transparenten Verpackungsfolien zu nutzen. Mit der Einführung des neuen Verpackungsmaterials verfolgt Ruokakesko das Ziel der Kesko-Gruppe, den Klimawandel einzudämmen und die Nutzung nachhaltiger Ressourcen zu fördern.

Die Verringerung der Umweltbelastungen in der gesamten Lieferkette bis zum Kunden soll erreicht werden.

Dieses Ziel wird mit dem neuen biologisch abbaubaren Verpackungsmaterial erreicht. Die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Plastiroll Oy und Ruokakeskos Pirkka-Gemüse begann vor ein paar Jahren. Verpackungsmaterialien wurden entwickelt und werden in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Plastiroll und dem Gemüseverpacker Uudenmaan Vihannes Oy ständig weiter verbessert.

- Wir haben bei Ruokakesko schon viele Jahre lang die Möglichkeiten untersucht, Verpackungsmaterial in Gebrauch zu nehmen, welches die Umwelt möglichst wenig belastet. Das Material, das nun in Verwendung ist, entspricht dem EN13432-Standard und es erfüllt sowohl die festgelegten Kriterien der biologischen Abbaubarkeit als auch die Produktsicherheit und Qualitätsstandards für Gemüseverpackungen, sagt Ruokakeskos Produktqualitätsmanager Heini Haverinen.

PLASTIROLL FP 3/14.indd 4

Bioverpackungsfolie von Plastiroll - ideales Verpackungsmaterial für Gemüse Das Verpackungsmaterial wird aus stärkehaltigem, nachwachsendem Rohstoff hergestellt, es enthält also keine genetisch veränderten Organismen (GVO-frei). Die Verpackung kann durch Kompostieren entsorgt werden.

Diese biologisch abbaubare Folie reduziert deutlich die Gesamtabfall an frischen Produkten durch die Verlängerung der Haltbarkeit von Lebensmitteln. Damit kann die Mengen der Abfälle aus Verpackungsmaterialien im Einzelhandelsgeschäft deutlich reduziert werden.

Das biologisch abbaubare Verpackungsmaterial von Plastiroll ist hervorragend zum Verpacken von Gemüse geeignet. Das Material ist atmungsaktiv, d.h. im Inneren der Verpackungen findet keine Kondensation statt, wodurch das Gemüse frisch bleibt.

Im Vergleich zu früher verwendeten Verpackungsmaterial entstehen bei dem biologisch abbaubaren Material keine Verluste durch Einreißen der Folie. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist, dass der Verbraucher die Möglichkeit hat, die Verpackung als Biomüllbeutel wiederzuverwenden.

Umweltvorteile des Verpackungsmaterials den Kunden vermitteln Das kompostierbare und 100-pro-

zentig abbaubare Verpackungsmaterial ist ein Wettbewerbsvorteil für das Geschäft. Bei Ruokakesko wurde dies umfassend über traditionelle Kanäle wie auch über die Sozialen Medien kommuniziert. Auf der Produktverpackung ist ein sichtbarer Hinweis, dass die Verpackung biologisch abbaubar ist. Durch Verkaufsmaterial, Marketingaktionen und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit wurde das Kundenbewusstsein für biologisch abbaubare Verpackungen und ihre Funktion erhöht. Der Großteil der Kundenrückmeldungen auf die Produkte war positiv, da die Verbraucher sich bewusster wurden über die Konsequenzen des eigenen Konsums sowie die Rolle des Unternehmens in Bezug auf Umwelteinflüsse.

Auch die meisten Geschäfte sowie Obst- und Gemüseabteilungen, die zu einer Rückmeldung über die Produkte befragt wurden, antworteten, dass sie zufrieden seien und hofften auf weitere biologische Verpackungsmaterialien.

Weitere Anwendungsmöglichkeiten werden untersucht Biologisch abbaubares Material wird bisher zur Verpackungen dreier Produkte eingesetzt: Zwiebelbündel, Chinakohl und Lauch. Die Weiterentwicklung des Verpackungsmaterials wird fortgesetzt und Ruokakesko untersucht das Potential, die Verwendung des Materials zu erweitern.

AK Gida Relies on OYSTAR Hassia The dairy producer AK Gida, a subsidiary of Turkey’s largest food group, Ülker, is increasing its cream cheese production capacities. The company has purchased yet another THM 16/48 form, filling and sealing (FFS) machine manufactured by OYSTAR Hassia.

A

ltogether, AK Gida markets more than 20 different dairy products, from cheese and butter to homogenized milk and powdered milk, all the way to yoghurt and pudding. The dairy producer, whose brands also include Petit Suisse, a cream cheese product made of pasteurized cow’s milk enriched with a wisp of cream, is one of the leading manufacturers in the Turkish market.

Now AK Gida intends to strengthen its production capacities in the cream cheese segment even further by turning to the latest machine technology.

OYSTAR Hassia’s THM 16/48 form, filling and sealing machine with an aseptic dosing system.

“It was our goal to achieve the very best production for our top seller, Petit Suisse,” explains Ömer Murat Gümüşdağ, Production Director at AK Gida. “OYSTAR Hassia has been supplying us with the highest quality of innovative machinery for years now and that makes them the right partner to help us reach our goal. The food manufacturer had already purchased an aseptic machine for its pudding production in 2003.

Two additional machines followed in 2007: a stick pack machine for chocolate sauce as well as an additional FFS machine for the production of cream cheese.

per minute. “This output has allowed us to increase our production capacity several times over, even as we reduced our downtime”, states Ömer Murat Gümüşdağ. AK Gida also enjoys improved flexibility; in addition to handling Petit Suisse, the THM 16/48 can switch over to the 35-gram cups used to make the Smartt brand chocolate pudding when necessary.

Both the cream cheese and the pudding cups are manufactured in 6-pack units (30-up format). The 6-pack units are provided with perforated snap-lines to allow the cups to be separated easily. The tool is designed for “low-waste” perforation with trimming and starshaped punching. “This offers us more than maximum efficiency; it promotes the environmentally friendly manufacture of our products”, summarizes AK Gida’s Ömer Murat Gümüşdağ.

Steam Disinfection To ensure the quality of the product, the THM 16/48 comes in the “Hygienic Active” version for the active disinfection of the bottom web and lid material. In other words, steam is used to disinfect the wrapping materials, which are then passed on in a tunnel with sterile air overpressure until the cups are sealed to prevent re-infection.

In addition, a membrane valve

dosing system (CIP/SIP-capable) in aseptic design featuring 30 filling nozzles is integrated and a gas flushing of the cup headspace takes place. “This ensures the highest hygienic demands are met and guarantees an optimal product protection with the best-possible quality assurance”, emphasizes Ömer Murat Gümüşdağ of AK Gida.

The FFS machine is operated using the TEOs HMI panel developed by the OYSTAR Group. Machinery operation is intuitive, using a modern multi-touch system similar to that of a smartphone.

Operators further have the support of a help system integrated into the HMI software: Each time a parameter is entered, the system offers tips on choosing the right settings, and if an error message appears, it displays photos, graphics and tips from the operating manual and the circuit diagrams.

“I believe we’ve really made the best possible choice here,” Ömer Murat Gümüşdağ from AK Gida sums up.

“We have the ideal setup for our cream cheese production. Once again, further investment in an OYSTAR machine has paid off!“

Maximum Efficiency The new THM 16/48 from OYSTAR Hassia is distinguished by its reliability and high rate of efficiency. The FFS machine produces 54,000 45-gram cups per hour at a nominal output of 30 strokes

equipment for refrigeration, storage and transportation of fresh and frozen food

F

or over 50 years, Zanotti Spa has been designing and manufacturing equipment for the refrigeration, storage and transportation of fresh and frozen food.

Founded in 1962 as a family-run business with the conception of the new and revolutionary “uniblock� system, a complete cooling system that is autonomous and ready to be used for small needs, the management changes made in 2002 led the Zanotti company towards international grounds and turned it into a managing structure that was better prepared to face competitors worldwide. Over time, Zanotti has improved its series, which are now the most complete offers available on the market.

Zanotti can meet the food cooling needs of the entire cold chain, thus, of the preservation of raw materials, of their processing, storage and distribution to supermarkets, specific shops or restaurants. The units designed for refrigerated transpor-

ZANOTTI IPA FP 3-14.indd 3

tation complete the series and ensure foods are handled safely.

The products developed by Zanotti cover the needs of small to medium-sized cooling necessities, as well as the needs of logistic and storage centers: monoblocks, multicompressor stations, condensing units and cooling systems for food, but also for the aging of cold meats and cheeses, to refine wines or to dry grains in silos. The diesel unit completes the cooling chain with its split battery system or others, which were specifically designed for the short, medium to long distance transportation of food.

The industrial division designs and implements equipment for ice tracks, like the new ones of Courmayeur and the Arena of Minsk, which is the biggest one in Europe.

Recently, the company acquired a new contract to make a track, with Olympic features, in the new ice stadium of Kazakistan. The works will

soon begin. The installation will be implemented with the latest freecooling technologies that use the cold from outdoors at certain times of the year.

Recently, Zanotti was chosen by a major airline of the United Arab Emirates to make a system for their new catering center for a value of 21 millions of dollars; in the international airport to increase the production of 260,000 meals a day that will be distributed on board of the new Boing fleet. It’s one of the biggest and most modern structures of this kind worldwide and, therefore, it requires highly reliable systems, top notch final touches and strict hygienic conditions with regards to the equipment.

As a result of this important contract, Zanotti recently won the tender for the supply of a similar installation; which should be implemented in the new airport of Muscat, in the Sultanates of Oman.

24/06/14 10:56

Other successes ensure the reliability of the Zanotti installations, implemented worldwide, such as the one of the Kabardino-Balkaria Republic to design and provide an installation to preserve apples in a controlled atmosphere for long periods, up to 7 months.

Here, Zanotti has crushed the German competitors by presenting projects with advanced technologies that use intermediate non-toxic fluids from a nutritional viewpoint.

Nationally speaking, Zanotti has completed works with a leading Italian cheese manufacturer by implementing an aging system of the highest level thanks to the latest technologies; maximum energy savings with low operating costs, maximum reliability to reduce maintenance and to ensure the continuity of operations through centralized

ZANOTTI IPA FP 3-14.indd 4

management and with a supervision system.

Today, Zanotti Spa is an International Group with production plants in Spain, England, Brazil, China and it counts on a strong network of certified suppliers who provide expertise and assistance worldwide.

The quality of the Zanotti products is the primary concern of the production unit.

Actually, the products have been ISO 9001 certified in Italy, they have received the EC marking in Europe, the Gost in Russia and the UL in the US for several years now.

These markings and certifications are based on the local standards of quality.

The attention devoted to customers and the flexibility of the products are

essential characteristics for Zanotti: investing in research and development to better meet customer demand by providing more convenient solutions in terms of energy savings and reliability of use is a priority.

The know-how Zanotti acquired over 50 years also concerns the environmental aspects involved since the products are developed to provide low energy consumptions and reduced noise levels; as to meet the current technological trends that aim to contain greenhouse gas emissions.

This is how the BESTCOPÂŽ technology was created. It is applied on the motorized condensing units that are manufactured by Zanotti to improve the efficiency and energy consumption levels of the cooling equipment.

This basically can be translated into energy savings (from 15 to 20% depending on the different environmental conditions).

The technological research is at the base of the investments Zanotti allocates every year to better meet the needs of the customers’ requirements by taking their work needs and the greenhouse gas emission standards into consideration.

Innovation, energy savings, quality and competence are the key words that best describe the works implemented by Zanotti up to today and they also represent a promise for the future.

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

01/08/14 13:20

sugar, but in some circumstances also liquids).

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-

C.R.S.I. FP 2/14.indd 4

utes, and the whole cycle (comprising cooling and discharge) takes 1 hour. Capacity, according to the different models, ranges from 20 kg to one ton of dried material per hour.

APPLICATION EXAMPLE: TSA DRYER FOR BREADCRUMBS

the temperature. Residence time of product is less than one minutes.

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.

So the dryer must Reduce the moisture contents to a value ranging (from 13% up to 2% in an only passage and in automatic way) Avoid the damage of protein content The last point compels to use the TSF dryer that eliminate the effects of

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.”

EQUIPMENT FOR TROPICAL FOOD PROCESSING

T

he standards for quality for tropical fruits are becoming more and more stringent.

It is therefore mandatory that the equipment used for their processing be continuously updated in order to maximize the yield and quality of the juice / puree extracted. This is in fact the basis to keep quality in the subsequent operations of heat treatment, evaporation (when it occurs) and packaging.

One of the way to meet the target of a good extraction is the use of dedicated machines for the various “families” of fruits having similar characteristics.

On the contrary of the “Universal machines” the dedicated juice / puree extraction machines are taylor made taking into account the peculiarities of the fruits: the good juice extraction from a passion fruit, for instance, is something of completely different from the extraction of juice / pulp from a pineapple. The use of dedicated machines avoids

BERTUZZI FP 3-14.indd 3

the compromises that, otherwise, has to be accepted.

The use of dedicated machines avoids to a large extend the contamination caused by the peel to the juice / puree. This contamination can consists in color (for instance the purple variety of passion fruit, the chlorophyll of the pineapple peel etc) as well as in the bitter / not palatable components as well as the pesticides and other chemicals.

Bertuzzi Food Processing, a leading Italian Company operates since 1936 in the design and construction of machinery and plants for the processing of fruits and vegetables and has gained a wide experience in the field of tropical fruits processing for which has developed a number of specific, dedicated machines and technologies for the juicing of pineapple, passion fruit, acerola, dragon fruit, pomelo, banana, mango, guava, litchee, ranbutan, coconut etc.

Bürsten GmbH mrca GmbH, Peschl Ultraviolet GmbH, PNR Deutschland GmbH, Industriespritzdrüsen, SPX Flow Technology, TRAVAGLINI S.P.A., Vikan A/S sowie Wiedemann GmbH. Sie stellen im Angebotssegment „Food Safety / Hygienetechnik“ der Anuga FoodTec aus. Produktspezifische Reinraumkonzepte sind hier das beherrschende Thema. Denn der Trend geht weg vom großen Reinraum zu kleinen, lokalen Lösungen.

Beim Stichwort “Reinraum” denken die meisten an die großen Hallen der Mikrochip-Fabriken. Doch die Produktion unter Reinraumbedingungen,

lange Zeit Domäne der Halbleiterbranche, hält vermehrt Einzug in die Lebensmittelindustrie. Joghurt, Brot, Wurst, Käse, Salate und Getränke – mehr und mehr Produkte werden in keimarmer Umgebung abgefüllt und verpackt.

Lebensmittel werben damit, welche Zusätze sie nicht enthalten. Sogenannte “Clean Label”-Produkte liegen im Trend. Allen voran sind es die ungeliebten Konservierungsstoffe, die aus den Rezepturen gestrichen werden. „Weniger Chemie, mehr Physik“, bringt Martin Schüring vom Bremerhavener Institut für Lebensmitteltechnologie und Bioverfahrenstechnik (BILB) diese Philosophie auf den Punkt. Der Leiter im Bereich F&E-

02/09/14 14:26

Innovation weiß aber um die Kehrseite Medaille: „Mit dem Verzicht auf Konservierungsstoffe, müssen die Lebensmittelhersteller mikrobiologische Gefahren besser vom Produkt fernhalten, um die gewünschte Haltbarkeit zu erzielen.“

Fruchtsäfte ohne Erhitzen direkt in die Flaschen. Im Gegensatz dazu sind RABS nicht hermetisch abgeschlossen: Eine Luftschranke, die durch Überdruck im Inneren des Gehäuses erzeugt wird, schützt das Herz der Maschine – den sterilen Bereich. Es ist während der Produktion von außen nur über Glove-Boxes (Handschuh-Kisten) zugänglich, die an den kritischen Stellen entlang der Abfüllmaschine angebracht sind. Alle anderen Bereiche sind durch Außentüren ohne Schleuse zu erreichen.

Weniger Keime in der Luft Ein sauberes, das heißt keimarmes, Umfeld ist Voraussetzung, um auf Konservierungsmittel verzichten zu können. Jeder Keim zählt! Allen voran bei gekühlten Frischeprodukten, wie Salaten, Pasta oder Sandwiches. Schüring: „Reinräume können Bakterien und Schimmelpilze, die Ursachen für einen frühzeitigen Verderb, sicher aussperren.“ Und das im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes, denn mehrstufige Schwebstofffilter halten selbst kleinste Partikel zurück. Das stetige Einblasen der entkeimten Luft erzeugt einen Überdruck, der die unreine Luft aus dem Produktionsbereich entfernt. Maßgeblich ist die Norm ISO 14644-1. Sie definiert die Reinraumklassen 1 bis 9 und legt fest, wie viele Partikel welcher Größe in einem Kubikmeter Luft vorhanden sein dürfen – je kleiner die Reinraumklasse, desto größer der Reinheitsgrad.

Während in einer Chipfabrik sehr hohe Reinheitsgrade gefordert werden, sind für die Herstellung von Lebensmitteln Reinräume der ISOKlassen 5 bis 8 üblich. Nicht immer ist es erforderlich komplette Produktionshallen als Reinräume auszugestalten, die kostenintensiv zu Buche schlagen. Bereits die ISO-Klasse 5 entspricht einer Belastung von weniger als einem Keim pro Kubikmeter Luft, was praktisch als keimfrei anzusehen ist. Schüring: „Das leisten bereits kleinere Reinraumzonen und Raum-in-Raum-Konzepte.“ Durch geschickte Unterteilung werden Zonen verschiedener Reinheitsgrade im Produktionsbereich eingerichtet.

Höchste Reinheit herrscht nur dort, wo es wirklich darauf ankommt. Wie bei der Schnittbrotherstellung: Zum

Nachdem das Backgut den Ofen verlassen hat wird es mittels Sterilluft abgekühlt und noch im Tunnel geschnitten. Erst nach dem Verpacken verlassen die Waren den lokalen Reinraum.

Hygiene-Minis für die Abfüllung Jeder Kubikzentimeter Reinraum ist teuer. Ziel der Anlagenbauer ist es daher, diesen so klein wie möglich auszulegen. Maschinen, die “unrein” sein dürfen, befinden sich außerhalb dieser Sterilzone.

Vor allem in der Getränkeindustrie wurde der Reinraum mit den Jahren auf das absolute Minimum reduziert. Im Fokus der aktuellen Entwicklungen stehen Restricted Access Barriers (RABS) und Isolatoren.

Die kompakten “Hygiene-Minis” sind nicht nur im Bau günstiger, sondern auch im Betrieb. Der Bereich eines Isolators ist so streng abgegrenzt, dass Mitarbeiter normale Hygienekleidung tragen können.

In den modernen kaltaseptischen Abfüllanlagen verläuft lediglich der Flaschenweg noch innerhalb des Isolators, der als dichte Kammer von der Umgebung abgetrennt ist. Bei dem Verfahren fließen

Der japanische Technologiekonzern Fujitsu geht im Rahmen seines Programms “Kirei Yasai” (saubere Gemüse) noch ein Schritt weiter. In einem ehemaligen Halbleiterwerk werden auf 2.000 Quadratmeter Salate unter Reinraumbedingungen angebaut. Dank perfekter Umweltkontrolle soll der geerntete Salat bei 10 Grad Celsius zwei Wochen lang frisch bleiben und geringere Mengen an Nitrat aufweisen. Organischer Anbau in Reinkultur – ein neuer Aspekt der Reinraumtechnologie.

New stabilizing systems for recombined pizza and feta cheese varieties Lower production effort and cost

W

hether for pizza, casseroles, salad or a snack, cheese gives many dishes a special appeal. But traditional cheese is not always the best choice from the standpoint of economics and production complexity.

Hydrosol’s new stabilizing systems make it possible to produce analogues of pizza and feta cheese.

Their ingredient combinations simplify production and reduce costs.

Recombined pizza cheese: Shorter production process This recombined pizza cheese offers excellent melting properties, simple use and significantly faster production. With the new Stabisol and Stabiprot functional systems, manufacturers can make an analogue cheese for pizza toppings or gratins that melts evenly and pulls into long strings, just like mozzarella. What’s special about it is that it’s much faster to make. The reason is the special recipe, combining the stabilizing systems Stabisol PCFL and Stabiprot LK Speed. Stabisol PCFL is a mixture of a specially

modified starch, emulsifying salts and proteins. It is first dispersed in water, then mixed with Stabiprot and briefly sheared.

After adding vegetable fat and seasonings, the mass is heated to 85°C at low speed before being filled into moulds and cooled. After three to four days in cool storage, the resulting analogue pizza cheese can be shaved or sliced. This shorter production process lets manufacturers save time and money. The only thing required for production is a double-walled process cooker and a filling line.

The alternative to feta: A creamy consistency without homogenizing Simplified production, lower costs and a high quality final product are the advantages offered by the new

Hydrosol FP 3-14.indd 3

stabilizing system Stabisol FET for recombined white cheese. What’s special about this feta alternative is the way it results in a creamy consistency without homogenization. Manufacturers need only mix a functional milk protein, vegetable fat and water with the system, and heat the mixture in a doublewalled process cooker. Instead of conventional bacteria cultures, this process uses GDL acidifier. Another plus point is that various consistencies can be obtained by modifying the amount of Stabisol FET in the mixture. The possibilities range from a soft, creamy texture to a firmer product that cuts cleanly and has a creamy mouth feel. Thus, with the same ingredients manufacturers can create different products and make optimum use of market potential.

A UK FIRST AS RAGÚ SWITCHES TO PLASTIC IN AWARD-WINNING SUPERLOCK®

A

new addition to the range of Britain’s oldest pasta sauces, Ragú, has become the first UK product to go on-shelf in RPC Superfos’s awardwinning SuperLock® barrier pack.

The 400ml pack, supplied to manufacturer Symingtons by RPC Containers Blackburn, has been selected in preference to glass due to its ambient shelf life of up to 24 months combined with glass-like transparency and the added inhome safety of a non-shatter container.

SuperLock® containers combine an oxygen barrier on all surfaces with a membrane seal to ensure an almost non-existent oxygen transmission rate.

The barrier is created through the use of a leading-edge in-mould labelling (IML) technique. Labels are manufactured using a special coextruded barrier foil and are applied

RPC FP 3/14.indd 3

during the injection moulding of the containers. After filling, the containers are sealed with a PP/EVOH/PP membrane seal.

Together the two processes ensure virtually zero oxygen transmission to provide an ambient shelf life of up to 24 months. They are suitable for hot filling and autoclaving during processing. An additional filling line benefit is that the process is far quieter than other materials.

The pre-printed labels offer outstanding graphic quality and the ability to produce highly colourful and intricate designs.

Furthermore, the availability of the whole container for this quality decoration allows it to be maximised to its full potential for excellent shelf standout.

Equally important, the clarity and transparency of the polypropylene containers means that clear sections can be incorporated into the

labels so that the products themselves can also be visible on shelf.

Further consumer benefits include easy re-closability thanks to the twist-off/screw-on lid and SuperLock® is microwave, dishwasher and freezer safe.

Ragú is Britain’s original pasta sauce and has been available since 1988. Its heritage dates back to the Cantisano Family in Rochester, New York in 1937 where Giovanni and Assunta Cantisano made Ragú sauce from the basement of their home, selling it door-to-door and through local shops.

The legacy continues today with convenient sauces allowing you to create tasty meals for family and friends.

The extension to the range meets consumer demand for sophisticated cooking options, and was available as a Tesco exclusive from 28 April, then in other retailers a month later.

Equipment for the dairy industry and for soft drinks, juices and beverages

P

ietribiasi Michelangelo was established between the end 1960 and the beginning of the next decade. 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).

PIETRIBIASI FP 3/14.indd 3

In the beverage field, the range includes pre-mix units, sugar dissolving systems, filters, mixing and storage tanks as well as of course the complete thermal treatment up to the filling. These kinds of plants are “tailor-made” and designed according to customer’s specific demands.

The company is also renowned and appreciated for following products: Batch pasteurizers; discontinuous cream pasteurizers; butter churns (available in a wide range of models from 20 L to 3000 L total capacity); semi-automatic butter forming machines. Its fifty-year experience in the food-stuff field, its long lasting cooperation with many European organisations and companies, the specialised knowledge in these processing fields, equipment and technologies, skilled

refrigeration Systems

T

his year Technoblock is celebrating 20 years of activity in the manufacturing of refrigeration units for applications in the field of controlled temperature.

Starting with a small staff, the company can now count on a sales network located throughout the world.

The Technoblock brand is known everywhere and stands for the variety and flexibility of its products. It offers many solutions that are already available in the catalog as well as solutions which are tailored to fully meeting customer’s requirements.

Refrigeration is a process that occurs through the reduction of fluid and solid temperatures in general.

Through this process it is possible to preserve goods temporarily which would otherwise be perishable in the short term. Refrigeration is vital in the food industry, and should only be done by experts in the field, since the foods, owing to their diversity, require specific treatment temperature and humidity according to their nature.

Market demands require refrigeration systems that are both efficient and reliable. This has lead Technoblock to produce a wide range of high quality refrigerating products that help installers and technicians working in the field to offer their customers the most correct solution as Cold Solutions. The various options for plants are defined as customized since they meet the customer’s expectations by giving extra benefits in terms of yields and energy savings.

Tecnoblock’s sales network is made

TECHNOBLOCK FP 3/14.indd 3

up of professionals. It can boast of a great deal of experience in the refrigeration industry and provides consultancies for projects dedicated to the different conservation needs of the different countries of the world.

Every request is specifically studied

by Technoblock’s R&D department in order to propose optimal solutions for the various applications and especially a speedy and efficient aftersales service.

Technoblock products are assembled with high quality components by experienced workers. Particular attention is paid to the development of new techniques, as well as to the use of new materials, in accordance with European legislation.

The installation and maintenance that usually entail important costs may be performed in a very simple and fast way. The products are designed with a “view” to saving energy and reducing consumption following an environment-friendly philosophy.

“We have arrived at celebrating an important birthday”, says Claudio Lovato, Technoblock’s Commercial Director. “20 years mark a significant milestone for our company which has, in recent years, witnessed a radical change in the management as a result of the economic and financial crisis that hit the world economy.

With the new management, the company has achieved a more structured and industrial organization, with welldefined objectives and has made itself more competitive in the marketplace. “The refrigeration market”,

continued Lovato, “has seen many companies in trouble as a result of market restrictions. Access to credit has become increasingly more difficult and together with other factors has turned a consumer crisis into a financial crisis. Small-and-medium sized enterprises such as Technoblock were the first ones to be effected. Technoblock was lucky in that it offered top-of-the-range products, which are positioned in price and quality in a market segment quite appealing for some customers.”

A relaunch of the company recently took place mainly involving private capital investors who believed in the company and in its potential.

“What is important”, Lovato affirms, “is that it has arrived to this point with a high technical potential, to have a company that with operational cost optimization has been able to invest in technology that allows the company to go forward”.

These 20 years have gained the company a place in the world of manufacturers of industrial refrigerators.

The strengthened and improved company has invested significantly in a relaunch of its products, strategically reviewing the range of products in order to better meet the demands of the market.

The optimization and the review of the product range’s design are breathing new vitality into the brand that shall shortly, as the next leap in quality, undergo a makeover in order to better reflect the company’s relaunch.

The trend towards essential products for specific target groups

Functional food: a complex market calls for diversification

T

he market for functional foods is characterized by ever more stringent quality requirements and a demand for products directed towards individual target groups. If they are to position themselves successfully, fortified foods and beverages have to be designed very specifically for the different age groups among the consumers and their particular circumstances.

Foods with an additional health ben-

SternVitamin FP 3-14.indd 3

efit are becoming more and more popular. In particular it is individual product concepts emphasizing specific health aspects that offer added value. Jan Heuer, head of this business unit at SternVitamin: “The market demands much greater differentiation now than it did in the past.

Gone are the days when a single multivitamin tablet satisfied all consumers. We now have to offer functional foods with a specific health benefit

to meet individual consumer needs.

Examples include yoghurt with beauty vitamins for the skin and power drinks with selected minerals to boost mental performance.” You might say these targeted concepts create a “win-win situation” for both sides: the consumers get products tailor-made to their individual needs, while diversification brings the manufacturers additional sales potential.

Besides the classic vitamins, min-

01/08/14 11:37

erals and trace elements, plant extracts are now playing an increasingly important role. Today’s consumers are much better informed about nutrients and plant extracts – not least because of the digital media. A knowledge of indications, positive effects and health benefits of the substances is no longer confined to experts.

To enable manufacturers to exploit the positive image of the active substances, SternVitamin has for some years been developing premixes for specific target groups that contain health-promoting ingredients as well as the usual micronutrients. “Vitamins and minerals will always be of central importance, but in conjunction with other substances like amino acids, plant extracts and other functional ingredients”, Dr. Sabine Hildebrandt, Head of Research & Development at SternVitamin, explains. “For example, a near-water drink to boost performance can contain taurine or glucuronolactone as a unique selling proposition, but the product only offers maximum benefit in combination with vital substances like calcium or vitamin C.” The much-discussed health claims can be used as an effective marketing tool. They make it possible to advertise health-supporting effects directly on the pack, in brochures or on a home page. “The permissible health claims for vitamins, minerals and trace elements cover a wide range of applications – from maintaining normal bones through mental and physical performance to support for the cardiovascular system”, Dr. Hildebrandt says. “If you take a close look at the list you will find something suitable for nearly every region and function of the body. That gives rise to enormous marketing potential – especially if you supplement the micronutrients with health-supporting plant extracts and the like.”

Current examples from SternVitamin’s product range are micronutrient premixes for lifestyle drinks. Besides selected vitamins, the “Mind-Calm-

SternVitamin FP 3-14.indd 4

Dr. Sabine Hildebrandt, Head of Research & Development at SternVitamin ing” premix contains plant extracts from elder and balm which have been shown in various scientific studies to help relieve stress and promote mental and emotional wellbeing. In conjunction with the B vitamins and vitamin C, the premix forms the basis for lifestyle drinks with a relaxing effect. With a balanced combination of vitamins, minerals and green tea extracts, the “Brainpower” premix aids concentration and memory. For that reason it appeals particularly to professional people who have to maintain a high level of concentration in their daily work – whether at their desk or in endless meetings.

“Against the background of demographic change, so-called “50 plus” concepts are an important trend”, Dr. Hildebrandt comments. “Possibilities might include a soy shake fortified with vital substances specially for women in the second half of life, a “bone-protecting loaf” with vitamin K2, calcium and magnesium, or a power cocktail with Q10 and selenium for strengthening the body’s defences. There is also a well-established nursing drink with iron and zinc that is offered especially for young mothers.” According to the expert, products lending themselves to fortification

Jan Heuer, head of this business unit at SternVitamin

include both staple foods like bread and edible fats, cereals which have a positive health image in any case, and also soft drinks and dairy products. Sweets, biscuits and dairy products are a good possibility for children in particular. But a crucial factor in all communication with consumers is that the vital substances must offer a demonstrable health benefit.

“Consumers want reliable studies providing clear evidence of efficacy. In this field there are now a number of reputable studies that go far beyond the health claims”, Dr. Hildebrandt explains.

Besides concepts for specific target groups, the market for ingredients and food supplements shows a further trend, Jan Heuer reports: “We are observing much stricter requirements in respect of hygiene and product safety.

In fact the safety of foods is now one of the most important quality attributes in marketing. So more and more food manufacturers are demanding extremely high quality standards for the raw materials and processing methods. Only companies that meet these requirements and constantly adjust their production methods will be able to withstand the increasing pressure of competition.”

Thermo Fisher Scientific Upgrades Xpert C400 X-ray System

Higher-powered X-ray, compact sanitary drum motors, shorter line configurations

T

hermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today announced several upgrades for its popular Thermo Scientific Xpert C400 X-ray system for detecting metals and other foreign objects in food. The upgrades include an X-ray source with twice the power of the original model, compact sanitary drum motors and shorter line configurations.

The X-ray power boost makes the system well suited for thicker, denser product and/or higher speed production.

The new capability further enhances the unit’s leading inspection sensitivity to help food processors meet stringent foreign object detection goals.

The system targets a broad range of food applications including challenging wet, semi-frozen products, as well as metalized packaging structures that do not lend themselves to metal detection.

The Thermo Scientific Xpert™ C400 also features a new compact sanitary drum motor to drive its conveyor.

The drum is designed to improve safety and performance, minimize maintenance requirements and simplify sanitation by enclosing all moving parts. Because the drum motor is part of the conveyor framework, the unit takes up less floor space.

“Food processors demand a high level of performance from their

Thermo Scientific FP 3/14.indd 3

product inspection equipment.

Also high on the list of deliverables is equipment that can perform within a smaller footprint to maximize use of valuable floor space.

The new Xpert C400 upgrades reflect Thermo Fisher’s continual investment in product inspection enhancements designed to meet customer needs,” said Bob Ries, lead product manager, metal detection and X-ray inspection, Thermo Fisher.

The Thermo Scientific Xpert C400 detects metal, glass, dense plastics and other contaminants in packaged food. The system also can analyze an X-ray image to estimate weight and fill or determine whether a packaged item has missing objects.

The system’s highly sensitive detectors are available in multiple resolutions (0.8/0.4mm), and its suite of algorithms is designed to find small contaminants in complex images with few, if any, false rejects.

“A variety of food safety initiatives are driving the migration from metal detection to X-ray technology.

With many leading food retailers now mandating that their products be inspected by X-ray before being

placed on store shelves, the Xpert C400 is designed for plants desiring a reliable mid-to-high level X-ray inspection system,” said Ries.

Due to its improved design and component quality, the Thermo Scientific Xpert C400 is designed to run around the clock in harsh environments with less maintenance and fewer repairs than other systems.

It was internally tested by Thermo Fisher to fully meet IP65 requirements for dust and washdown and operates over a wide 5° to 40° C temperature range. Because of its modular design and built-in remote support capability, technicians can troubleshoot and service the system quickly, minimizing expensive downtime.

HERZA chocolate improves baked goods, muesli and ice cream

INDIVIDUAL CHOCOLATE MIXES OFFER NEW VALUE-ADDITION POTENTIAL

C

hocolate pieces give the taste and appearance of baked goods, muesli and ice cream a special touch. Different forms and flavour experiences create variety and drive repeat purchases. HERZA Schokolade now supports manufacturers in all categories with individual mixes of small chocolate and glazed pieces that offer industrial and artisan producers a number of advantages.

From HERZA’s broad product range, makers of baked goods, muesli and ice cream can select just the right combination of chocolate and glazed pieces they require for a perfect fit with a final product and its price structure.

The proportions of individual components can be precisely adjusted. For example, high priced items like golden nuggets can be included also in small quantities as a highlight. The chocolate piece mixes are perfectly coordinated in terms of appearance and mouthfeel.

This enables manufacturers to create innovative products that offer new and interesting sensations to the consumer over and over again.

Simple handling, reduced costs, maximum effectiveness Simple handling is another benefit.

With the new chocolate piece mixes, HERZA customers benefit from the attractiveness of the combination of different chocolate pieces, while buying them as a mix considerably reduces the effort in terms of purchasing, logistics and quality control. The use of mixes allows customers to minimize their stock. It also simplifies manufacturing processes, as individual production steps can be eliminated. For customers, who due to their production setup can use just one kind of chocolate piece in their final product, this opens up attractive new possibilities.

HERZA FP 3/14.indd 3

Purchase-driving mixes for ice cream For imaginative ice-cream creations HERZA offers for example a mix of extra-large chocolate chips in white, milk and dark varieties. Another composition consists of double caramel chips and peanut flavour glaze pieces. The polished cocoa nibs are a new product idea especially for use with ice cream.

They contain no additives, so they can be used as clean-label products. The nibs feature a shiny look and have a natural water barrier. Together with the golden crunchy cocoa nibs they give ice cream a distinctive look and special enjoyment value - two factors that are strong purchase drivers for consumers.

New accents for baked goods With mixtures of white and dark chocolate shavings or baking-stable caramel chips and milk chocolate chips, and of polished cocoa nibs and silver-coated chocolate pieces, bakeries and the baked goods industry can give their cakes, pies and other baked goods an individual note. They can also catch consumers’ attention with colourful mixes, for example dark chocolate pieces combined with blue and gold-coated chocolate pieces, or chocolate nuggets

with silver, red and brown colour accents. Like the different toppings of cupcakes, HERZA’s customized chocolate mixes enable an endless variety of attractive new baking creations.

Compositions address muesli lifestyle approaches Mueslis combine healthy nutrition with high enjoyment. HERZA has created chocolate mixes that address both aspects. Think of a special mix of white and milk chocolate leaves. What’s special about it is the high 20 percent protein content of the white chocolate pieces, targeted at fitness-oriented consumers. A flavourful variety is assured by mixes of white and milk chocolate double chips in combination with strawberry glaze pieces, or chocolate leaves with 40 percent cocoa plus white chocolate leaves.

Customer-specific mixes offer manufacturers high value-addition potential, as HERZA Sales Director Carsten Braumann explains: “More and more frequently, customers look for individual chocolate pieces that allow them to stand out from the competition. With our custom mixes of chocolate and glaze products, we’ve developed new possibilities that can benefit industrial and artisanal manufacturers alike.”

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 3/14.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.

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.

FLAT TUBULAR HEATERS BOOST EFFICIENCY FOR FRYER TECHNOLOGY

By Roly Juliano

F

rom fryers to griddles to ovens, heat is an important component in most foodservice applications. When it comes to the heat source for frying, not all heating elements are created equal.

Electric fryer heaters can be segmented into two broad categories – round tubular heaters, and flat tubular heaters. When first introduced, fryer heaters were round tubular. But engineers found that a flat tubular design offered many benefits – the most important being that the shape lifts the oil into the cook zone far better than round heaters. An innovation was born.

Flat Surface Geometry Because of its design and geometry, flat tubular heaters will heat viscous fluids from ambient temperature faster than round tubular elements with the same wattage and at a lower sheath temperature. The benefit of this shape is the enhanced flow of liquid past the surface of the heating element. The round tubular has a much more erratic flow pattern (see graphic). Note the currents swirl around and trap heat next to the sheath. This is due to the tubular’s round shape, which causes a wider and less efficient flow of liquid around the heater surface.

The flow pattern around the flat tubular heater is streamlined; the flat surface has less restriction on the liquid as it moves up and past the heater sides. This efficient and faster flow pattern permits the liquid to move heat away from the sheath very quickly, resulting in the flat tubular heater’s lower operating sheath temperature (see graphic).

WATLOW FP 3/14.indd 3

Greater Buoyancy Force

Smaller Dimension Normal to Flow

This natural convection phenomenon partially depends on the ratio of a buoyancy force to the viscous force of the fluid being heated. The buoyancy force or the flow of liquid up and across the heater surface is mainly determined by the length of the heater sides. The side of a flat tubular heater is typically 1 in. (25 mm), compared to the 0.43 in.

(10.9 mm) or less dimension of a round tubular element. The flat tubular heater’s smaller edge and longer side creates a buoyancy force up to ten times greater than a round tubular heater depending on the material being heated.

This feature refers to the width dimension of the heater that the liquid flows around. Typically, a narrower dimension will give a smoother and faster liquid flow. For example, the round tubular’s wide dimension, nearly a half-inch, inhibits the flow of liquid. It causes currents which disrupt the flow and the flow rate is somewhat slower.

The flat tubular heater, on the other hand, has a much thinner dimension 0.235 in. (5.97 mm), which reduces the drag forces on the liquid flowing past the heater. This allows the liquid to move past the flat heater faster than

the round heater. The end result – the flat tubular gets the heated liquid into the work zone faster than when using a round tubular. The flat tubular heater has about a 50 percent greater surface area than a round tubular. This surface area design improvement is the key to lowering watt density for the same length heater or reducing the heater size while maintaining the same watt density.

Faster Heat Up Flat surface technology provides faster heat up and recovery times than round tubular heaters. Their unique shape minimizes coking and oil degradation, and enhances the flow of the oil past the element’s surface, helping to pull heat away from the heater sheath.

Compacted magnesium oxide (MgO) insulation transfers heat away from resistance wire to sheath material and media more efficiently, shortening heat-up time. In addition, the heater lasts longer because it runs at a significantly lower sheath temperature than an equal watt density round tubular. This also prolongs the life of the

WATLOW FP 3/14.indd 4

oil which shortens and reduces costs from frequent changing.

If coking is a problem, it is an indication that the sheath temperature is too hot and is burning the oil. A flat tubular heater will provide a lower sheath temperature than a round tubular element, without reducing wattage or watt density. Coking is also reduced by the wiping action that occurs as the heated liquid flows past the heaters surface. The result is less liquid degradation and longer liquid life.

Watlow’s flat tubular heater, called FIREBAR®, has long been a standard in the foodservice industry. An independent study that adhered to the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards, called “Prototype Element Performance Test,” revealed that the FIREBAR flat heating element was the first to consistently return the oil to the 171°C (340°F) reload temperature. FIREBAR also maintained the highest average cook zone temperature of the heating elements tested, recorded the fastest pre-heat time and offered one of the lowest pre-heat energy consumption levels ever tested. During the performance comparison test of the FIREBAR heater versus an equivalent kW round tubular heater, per ASTMs test method F13617, the FIREBAR heater’s fast recovery allowed cooking of six heavy loads of french fries versus five heavy loads of an equivalent tubular or a 20 percent capacity improvement (see below).

Reduced Watt Density Flat tubular heaters can be operated at a higher watt density than a round tubular heating element without increasing the sheath temperature.

Flat tubular heaters also allow more wattage into the application at the same watt density with a shorter heating element. Both types of heaters can have the same wattage, but the flat tubular will operate at a lower sheath temperature than the round tubular.

In tests conducted to demonstrate this phenomenon, both heater types had a watt density of 30 and were immersed in a light liquid shortening.

The flat tubular element heated the oil faster from ambient temperature than the round tubular. At 149°C (300°F), the flat tubular element heated the oil to temperature in 11 minutes where as the round tubular took 18 minutes.

Plus, the flat tubular heater’s average sheath temperature was 10°C (50°F) lower than the round tubular.

Customizable, Easy to Install FIREBAR can be wired 3-phase, making installation easier and cheaper while reducing the size of the heating assembly. FIREBAR heating elements can be formed into virtually any shape for an immersion application. This flat tubular heater can be configured with a variety of wattage and voltage ratings, terminations, sheath materials and mounting options to satisfy the most demanding foodservice applications. The FIREBAR is typically constructed with epoxy or silicone seals to combat moisture contamination from environmental kitchen conditions.

pipelines, automatic continuous tempering machines, dosing machines, drops lines, moulding lines, enrobing lines, coating pan machines, cooling tunnels, decorating machines, storing tanks, cookers, aligner feeders.

Ideo Tecnica has also got a good ability in construction and assembly of technological heated pipelines, double-casing stainless steel AISI 304, to allow the transfer of products.

Starting from cocoa beans, the IB25 processing line is suitable for chocolate production as well as dry fruits processing too. It is composed by a separate processing units from roasting up to storing.

First step is roasting and chopping process (infrared roaster with cooling unit and aspirator).

Cocoa beans are roasted with infrared lamps method in order to reduce as much as possible the bacteriological charge of the product itself . Its capacity is from 9 to 25 kg/h according to the inlet product and recipe. After the roasting cycle,

product is automatically discharged into the cooling unit, which has got the function of cleaner as well for dry fruits like hazelnuts, etc.

Unloading manually the cooled cocoa beans, they will be charged into the loading hopper of the chopping machine for their dicing and cleaning. Skins will be aspired by the aspirator for leaving the three cuts of cocoa nibs completely cleaned.

Cocoa mass will be produced with the pre-refining mill CBM/5 with a finesse of 80/120 micron ready to be loaded into the conching machine CR150 of the DECA 20 automatic refining line.

Once conched, according to its quality, the other ingredients of the final recipe (sugar, cocoa butter, milk powder, etc) will be added for the mixing cycle and they will be automatically loaded into the balls mill SFERA 20R for each refining cycle by 20 kg.

Product will be then discharged into a vibrating filter for an additional filtering of the product before its stocking into the storing tank ID-TK

› Low-maintenance, stainless steel centrifugal pumps with speed-regulated frequency controller › Low vibration effect on the hands and arms due to use of centrifugal pumps › Each cleaning device can be connected to up to three different chemicals with different metering rates and can be easily used by just moving only one handle › Constant chemical metering rate due to permanently installed orifice plates in the injector › Low service costs due to simple and robust technology The booster system, equipped with central booster pump, may supply any number of satellite stations with water at elevated pressure.

The size of the booster is determined by the number of people who simultaneously use the cleaning system.

The cleaning staff can rinse, foam and disinfect at each satellite station independently.

SULBANA FP 3/14.indd 4

in short

The satellites can be installed on the wall or on a trolley and operate without electricity and therefore do not require any electrical connection. Booster units are available mounted on stainless steel floor stands or in hygienic stainless steel cabinets for wall mounting.

Sulbana also provides new equipments: the new Generation NEXT provided with the FO1 technology.

Thanks to the innovative injector technology of our satellites and our specialized know-how in the lowpressure cleaning, we can optimize the system to limit as much as possible the pressure loss.

The surfaces and equipments of your company will then be cleaned faster and in a cheaper way.

It is also simple and safe to use: there is only one robust rotary handle on its side and a single central outlet for all the functions. So, it is no longer necessary to replace the cleaning hose.

Moreover, the detergent and dis-

infectant suction hoses are distinguished by different colours, that is the same colours used on the chemicals’ tanks and on the icons of the rotary handle.

The robust stainless steel cabinets are designed according to the IFS requirements, so that there are no electronic components inside. They are also equipped with a large front cover to ensure the perfect access in case of maintenance.

This technology, properly combined with the nozzles and accessories of the F01 series, increases the cleaning power.

As a matter of fact, it allows to enlarge the distance between the cleaning nozzles and the surface, that is to enlarge the dimensions of the water-jet, that is, in turn, to enlarge the cleaned surface.

In this way efficiency and efficacy are considerably increased.

A great help to the food processing companies, where cleaning is always a really complex issue.

sauces and traditional Romanian dishes under the brand names of Scandia Sibiu, Bucegi and Sadu.

The ACI can tunnel is a retro-fit installation on a meat canning line with a throughput of up to 12000 cans/hr. Cans on the line have diameters of 73mm, 83mm and 99mm and heights from 48mm up to 110mm and the ACI system can cope with the all the different sizes with equal efficiency.

With the introduction of the ACI system cleaning operations have been simplified, helping to enhance hygiene functions. In addition, because of the superior efficiency provided by the new can tunnel drier over the previous system, operating cost have been reduced significant-

ly.The ACI system is an ‘EL’ version of the company’s DRI-Line Series. It comprises a can tunnel plus a blower housed in a leg mounted acoustic enclosure.

Cans pass through the can tunnel and air is delivered via precisely configured slots. This arrangement ensures all moisture is removed and contained so as to avoid dispersal of moisture to prevent it being deposited again on cans or elsewhere.

The leg mounting option for the blower provides flexibility in positioning and an easy-to-clean environment with facilitated access allround. This installation is installed straddling the canning line saving valuable floor space.

Technically clean if you please

Continuous prevention, reduction and removal of dirt particles in assembly processes

T

echnical cleanliness is no trend. It is essential in the production and assembly of ever more complex products with increasing quality requirements. Components and units whose function can be impaired by dirt must be produced and assembled in a technically clean environment.

It is for this reason that the renowned screwdriving technology specialists DEPRAG SCHULZ GMBH u. CO. have placed great emphasis on the realisation of technical cleanliness in assembly processes using standardised solutions as shown at the AUTOMATICA this year from the 3rd to the 6th of June in Munich. In Hall A6, at exhibition stand 310 the company demonstrates varied detailed solutions focusing on technical cleanliness in screw assembly.

“For all the innovative individual solutions which we present at the trade fair, the complete assembly process should always be considered”, explains Jürgen Hierold, Sales Manager at DEPRAG. The approach towards technical cleanliness relates to all areas, beginning with the design and production of components, training of personnel, layout of production environment, the assembly and entire logistical processes. But the discussion into technical cleanliness really comes to the fore in the selection of suitable assembly equipment for joining technology. “The technology and components used in the realisation of technical cleanliness must be available at a competitive price. Technical cleanliness should be achievable without massive extra costs and individual components must be compatible with each other”, adds Jürgen Hierold. This is one challenge which the screw automation company DEPRAG has mastered by implementing their CleanFeed concept.

Technical cleanliness FP 3/14.indd 3

Diverse standard components have been developed, incorporating decades of processing knowledge, which all have one aim: the prevention of abrasion during feeding of fasteners and the systematic suction of dirt particles within the screwdriving process.

But what is the best course of action?

First the cleanliness requirements for the product should be precisely defined.

Only in cooperation with the quality management, production and logistics teams will there be the best possible chance to achieve technical cleanliness and therefore reliability. Well-trained staff are equally as important as a clean production environment. It is imperative to keep the cleanroom meticulously pristine. This relates above all to people, material or transport that bring in damaging particles.

Screwdriving tools and feeding technology for the cleanroom Suitability for use in a cleanroom must be considered starting with the screwdriving tool. Even insertion of a bit into the screw’s drive head can generate undesired abrasive particles. DEPRAG screwdrivers from the series MINIMAT®EC-Servo reduce speed as the screwdriver makes contact with the bit. Inbuilt sensors recognise the exact screw position and ensure the correct contact point of the bit with the screw head.

Only once contact has been established does the speed increase thereby minimising abrasion. Any remaining residual particles are suctioned off by a vacuum device.

Covering and screwdriving templates on the components also reduce the risk of the collection of particles. “All our screwdriving function modules can be used for under-floor screw assembly

due to their small size. Therefore gravity can be useful in reducing particles and enabling technically clean assembly”, explains Jürgen Hierold. Additional equipment such as dirt deflectors collect fallen particles for simple removal.

The use of ESD-enabled materials can also reduce dirt from static load. Jürgen Hierold: “Our CleanFeed complete package comprises all options for particle minimisation”. However particles do not only appear during the screw assembly procedures, feeding the connection elements can also cause friction. “Therefore it is very important to select the correct feeding technology and consider the separation of screws in order to achieve a reduction in particles”, states Jürgen Hierold. Most vibratory feeders transport screws with pulsing movements in a feed bowl which consequently cause the parts to rub on each other and create abrasive contaminants.

Sword feeders offer a more component friendly, low abrasion realisation of technical cleanliness. The feed parts in the container are moved using a stroke action into an adapted segment shaped sword. They slide along mechanical rails using gravity and reach the screw separator already sorted. Incorrectly positioned fasteners are returned to the container along mechanical rails. A sensor in the supply rail regulates the amount of stroke movement required.

If fewer parts are being used by the operator then the feeder will supply fewer parts. The DEPRAG sword feeders are available in two sizes with 0.15 l or 1.5 l fill volumes. The depth of inhouse production, use of hardened low wear materials as well as specific coating procedures ensure the consistently high quality, reliability and efficiency of the DEPRAG sword feeders.

ALWAYS A STEP AHEAD WITH AUTOMATION Smaller footprint in packaging with a Breakthrough Generation of Machines

A brilliant example of the new Breakthrough Generation Machines: the cartoner “CL”, operating on a side-loading principle, with less space requirement. In three steps, cartons are opened, filled with many different kinds of products and closed. (Photo: Festo/Cama)

“F

or us, Festo’s valve terminal concept CPX/ MPA is a great support for opening the way to a completely new machine generation,” explains Stefano Rini, Head of Research and Development with Cama Group in Italy. The positive effect of this is that the space requirements of the new Cama packaging machines have been reduced by approximately a third. This is one of the reasons why it is called Cama’s “Breakthrough Generation”. This means completely new horizons for branded-product manufacturers with regard to the layout of the plant in their factories.

They now have more space available and gain flexibility for the integration of other plant components into the production line.

FESTO FP 3/14.indd 3

New horizons Cama called this innovation process the “Cama Breakthrough Generation”. This new concept of machines highlights Cama’s renowned lean design of secondary packaging machinery and robots. “This machine generation will create entirely new opportunities for growth for us”, predicts Rini. One characteristic feature of conventional machines is the large control cabinet outside the main structure of the machine. The controllers within this cabinet are connected to the drives, sensors and valves by a multiplicity of cables and lengths of tubing several metres long.

More compact machines With the Breakthrough Generation, Cama restyled completely its ma-

chines. That allows reducing the machine footprint by integrating the control cabinets with the electrical and pneumatic components into the machine pedestals angles. Such a compact machine footprint helps to minimise cabling and makes it easier to place the utility devices right where they are needed and thus easily accessible. Core product is the Festo valve terminal CPX/MPA with protection class IP65.

“Significantly fewer and shorter cables and tubes to be connected simplify and shorten installation. This is a further distinguishing feature of the new machines,” enthusiastically explains the machine builder as he describes the gain in efficiency. CPX links the pneumatic and electrical control chains and connects these

simply, quickly, flexibly and seamlessly to any automation concept and in accordance with any company-specific standards. “What is more, the CPX offers diagnostic functions. This makes it easy for us to meet the demands of large branded-product manufacturers, for example for preventive maintenance,” continues Rini.

ties of innovation and competency.

Its innovative valve terminals with CPX and fieldbus considerably reduce the amount of wiring and tubing required and thus also reduce the space required by our machines.

Festo’s innovations therefore enable us as an OEM, and our end customers, to take a large step forward”, concludes Stefano Rini, describing the results of working with Festo.

Attention has also been paid to the topic of machine safety. The Festo soft-start and exhaust valve MS6SV is used to exhaust the system. It provides reliable protection against unexpected start-up and has an exhaust capacity 1.5 times its pressurisation capacity.

Among the new Breakthrough Machine Generation, Cama is now introducing the CL 175, an extremely flexible side-loading cartoning machine. It has been completely redesigned, both in layout and functioning. This machine can load flow-wraps, pouches, bags, thermoformed trays, blisters and more into pre-glued cartons. In a first step they are picked from the storage station, opened and, by a rotary unit, placed into the moving conveyor pockets.

A side-loading unit fills the cartons. The unit consists mainly of a Festo electric axis EGC for a precise approach to intermediate positions and of a pneumatic mini slide DGSL. (Photo: Festo/Cama)

There is also a practical benefit: Festo is active in 176 countries all around the world. Festo service personnel can therefore quickly go to the end customers of Cama Group to assist with questions regarding the commissioning of components and systems or to provide other services. That gives everyone involved a feeling of confidence.

Clever technology mix The side-loading unit loads the products into the cartons with an intermittent-continuous motion. This handling unit consists mainly of a Festo electric axis EGC for a precise approach to intermediate positions and a pneumatic mini slide DGSL. EGC helped to reduce the mounting time by 30% compared to previous self-made electrical axis. The use of both pneumatic and electrical drive technologies allows high precision to be obtained together with a high load capacity. In a next step, the cartons move towards the final closure station. It can work in continuous or intermittent mode. Finally the cartons get onto the outfeed conveyor.

“For us, the Festo brand is very strongly associated with the quali-

FROM MINI MOTOR, EFFICIENCY THAT HOLDS UP UNDER STRESS

More than 24 months of constant operation under severe conditions: this recent stress test of Mini Motor was passed with flying colours by a coaxial gear motor designed for a specific application

T

he high level of efficiency of its coaxial gear motors is one of Mini Motor’s traditional strengths, in addition to its high product quality and uncompromising operating precision.

Industry players and clients throughout the world are now well aware that these three values are the result of a design and production cycle that takes place entirely within the company, including thorough checks performed during each stage of processing. Yet they may be less aware that a significant part of the company’s business relates to demand for special products with non-standard characteristics and specifications, which is why Mini Motor often conducts additional tests aimed at ensuring the efficiency of certain models under particular operating stress conditions. The case in point relates to a special stress test performed on a coaxial gear motor with a planetary reduction unit for 24 continuous months: the results met the highest of expectations in terms of the product’s durability and reliability.

An exacting request by the customer The end customer wanted absolute certainty that the selected gear motors were perfectly efficient in view of intense, constant use, considering that the motors are to be applied to actuate large industrial systems.

Faced with this request, Mini Motor identified the coaxial model as the most appropriate solution, adopting

MINIMOTOR FP 3/14.indd 3

a non-standard reduction ratio for this purpose.

A particularly “stressful” test Mini Motor then recreated the conditions of actual use of the product by applying it to a de-humidifier supplied by the customer in an environment with a constant temperature of 20°C. In reality, it went further, “exacerbating” those conditions through special measures that rendered operation of the gear motor considerably more stressful, firstly by depriving it of its cooling fan, which could have resulted in overheating, and then by accelerating wear and tear. It then operated the motor continuously, 24 hours a day, for a total of over 15,000 hours of operation, corresponding to approximately

24 months. Over this long period of time, the gear motor was monitored daily to verify electrical power consumption, engine temperature and the condition of the Viton oil gaskets.

The result? Electrical power consumption was perfectly normal and the gaskets held up as planned, while the temperature of the engine without the fan climbed as high as 57°C without consequences. In order to check gear wear and tear, it was necessary to await the end of the test and disassemble the motor: no surprises here, either, unless of the positive variety, given that the level of wear and tear was standard, especially considering that 15 months under those conditions correspond to a significantly longer period of use.

CIBUS TEC - FOOD PACK 2014:

In Parma next October, the complete showcase of technologies and solutions for food&bev processing and packaging

T

he program of the International Exhibition of technologies and solutions for the food industry 50th edition was presented in Milan on Tuesday 17 June.

Cibus Tec-Food Pack 2014 will be powered in partnership by Fiere di Parma and UCIMA (Italian Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Association) . The show aims at confirming its international importance and will once again be designed by the Steering Committee members representing top food companies. Once again on show in Parma the Made in Italy food technology as exhibition and industrial best practice.

(Milan, June 17, 2014) – Cibus Tec - Food Pack, solutions for 9 agrofood chains: Fruit and Vegetables, Dairy, Meat and Fish, Convenience Food, Fresh Cut, Bakery and Cereal by-products, Confectionery, Frozen Foods, Liquid Foods, Semi-liquid Products. The complete line of food&bev technologies: from processing to packaging, coding, mark-

ing, labeling, end-of-line, handling, storage, traceability, logistics, from environmental technologies to food safety solutions. Exhibiting participation surface is up by 40%. Thirty conferences and lectures will focus on the future challenges of the sector. In a word, Cibus Tec – Food Pack 2014 is once again a performing promotion, networking and business tool for international food and food technology companies.

In particular, Fiere di Parma’s strong

commitment to internationalization - including international business - matching with high potential markets (North America, Eastern Europe, South America, China, Russia and Turkey) wants to boost food processing and packaging industries. Because of the stagnation of the interior market, exports are the leading force of its activity: Italy is the second exporting country in the world (25.5%) after Germany (28.2%) with an annual growth rate of 7.9%.

“Thanks to UCIMA and the partnership with Kölnmesse, we are capitalizing the 80-year long history of CIBUS TEC with the vocation and skills of our region- said Antonio Cellie, CEO of Fiere di Parma - We have been working for 5 years on synchronizing our show with the international community that demanded a highly specialized exhibition; the most sophisticated and integrated technology solutions for food processing & packaging are our coun-

try’s trademark because our technologies are designed for the Italian food industry, the most qualified and innovative industry in the world. The show can only take place in Parma, because the city is a only a few miles far from the “best practices” of the mechanic food sector. As with Cibus, Italy could well have Cibus Tec - Food Pack becoming a leader trade-show for the food technology sector”.

The recent joint-venture with UCIMA – the Italian Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Association– makes Parma Exhibition Centre the direct challenger for Germany’s world leadership .

“We launched Food Pack believing that a stronger presence of food packaging technology could be a plus for Cibus Tec, offering Italian and International visitors a complete showcase of food processing and packaging technologies “- says Riccardo Cavanna, UCIMA Vice President, - “and facts are now proving us right. We strongly believe that Italy should return a leader in the world of international exhibitions, with shows able to reflect the importance of those sectors in which the country is world leader as far as innovation and market penetration are concerned. “

conferences

from slaughter to processing and transformation, in the section called “Cold & Processed Meat” The strategic agreement between Fiere di Parma and Koelnmesse – the 2nd exhibition Centre in the world - will give the opportunity to the food & beverage technology industry - both in Parma and in Cologne – to attract and welcome the food companies professionals participating in CIBUS and Anuga, respectively the world third and first food exhibition.

Cbus Tec - Food Pack has scheduled an interesting program of conferences and seminars. In fact, the currently innovative trend is leading upwards the estimations of world population growth and downwards the agricultural land value and water resources: this is the reason why food&bev technology and packaging process will have a crucially important role to play in terms of sustainability and development.

Research and technological innovation for a more “green” agro-food is the “leitmotiv” of meetings proposed

by Cibus Tec - Food Pack, proposing the challenge of Milan World Expo.

Cibus Tec starts on Tuesday, October 28 with the “World Food Forum” dedicated to Safety and Quality for the development of global supply; continues on Wednesday, 29 with “Looking Forward to Expo2015”, a conference organized in collaboration with the University of Parma focusing on concrete business opportunities through production process related to leftovers, organic products and food waste.

As international PCO, Fiere di Parma hosts the 4th edition of the EHEDG World Congress on Hygienic Engineering and Design 2014. Organized in 30 and 31 October in collaboration with EHEDG - European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group.

More appointments dedicated to food industry sectors (Tomato Day, Milk Day, Meat Day, Forum Cereals, Fresh Tec Lab), “Food Packaging Focus” seminars in collaboration with Ucima and the Conference “Logisticamente on Food”.

Also confirmed for Cibus Tec - Food Pack 2014 is Fil Rouge ‘Food & Beverage’. This appointment - born from Fiere di Parma and Messe Frankfurt Italia collaboration - targets at fostering synergies between automation industry end-users of the food&bev industry.

To complete the agenda, evening lectures on key issues for the sector: bioplastics, single service coffee / drinks and the new frontiers of digital printing.

The partnership with Assocarni, Member of Confindustria and Federalimentare, is of key importance for Cibus Tec. It’s the only Association representing the meat industry

Deutschlands Durstlöscher Nummer eins: Mineralwasser Für die Deutschen war Mineralwasser mit einem Pro-Kopf-Verbrauch von 140 Litern auch 2013 liebster Durstlöscher. Eindeutiger Favorit war mit 85 Prozent kohlensäurehaltiges Mineralwasser, international werden jedoch stille Wässer bevorzugt (80 Prozent des abgefüllten Wassers). Fast drei Viertel des verpackten Wassers weltweit werden in Asien, Westeuropa und Nordamerika getrunken – wobei das größte Wachstum mit rund 12 Prozent 2013 in Asien stattfand.

In Deutschland sind aber auch Erfrischungsgetränke sehr beliebt, also Cola-Getränke, Limonaden, Schorlen, Wasser mit Aromen, diätetische Erfrischungsgetränke, Energiegetränke, Brausen, Kaffee- und Teegetränke mit Fruchtsaftanteilen sowie kohlensäurehaltige und -freie Fruchtsaftgetränke.

125,5 Liter pro Kopf wurden davon 2013 getrunken. Besonders begehrt: kalorienfreie Cola-Getränke (+ 7,5 Prozent im Vergleich zum Vorjahr) und Fruchtsaftgetränke (+ 4,5 Prozent). (Quellen: Canadean/GB; Wirtschaftsvereinigung Alkoholfreie Getränke, D)

Alkoholfreie Getränke – Chancen für neue Kreationen Während verpacktes Wasser nahezu weltweit immer beliebter wird, ist der Konsum kohlensäurehaltiger Erfrischungsgetränke global bereits auf einem sehr hohen Niveau angelangt. Seit 2007 steigt der Umsatz hier nur noch in Süd- und Mittelamerika und dem Nahen Osten. Wachstumstreiber bleibt laut Rabobank in den nächsten drei Jahren Brasilien mit einem geschätzten Anstieg von drei Prozent pro Jahr. Weltmeister im Verbrauch von kohlesäurehaltigen Erfrischungsgetränken sind die Mexikaner mit 165 Litern pro Kopf, gefolgt von

BRAU FP 3/14.indd 4

den USA (145) und Argentinien (144). Bedeutendste Märkte für alkoholfreie Getränke weltweit sind die USA mit 352 Litern pro Kopf, Deutschland (342) und Argentinien (326). Innerhalb Europas folgen auf Deutschland Belgien (281) und die Schweiz (264), Schlusslichter sind Litauen (96), Russland (93) und die Ukraine (64). Neue Kreationen halten die Märkte in Bewegung: Ob innovative alkoholfreie Malzgetränke, mit Beta-Glucan angereicherte Fruchtsaftgetränke, die angeblich eine positive Wirkung auf die Herzgesundheit haben, neue Ingwer-Getränkekreationen oder mit Hilfe der lila Süßkartoffel pink gefärbte Getränke – der Phantasie sind kaum Grenzen gesetzt und der Verbraucher entscheidet schnell über Erfolg oder Misserfolg der Produkte. (Quelle: Canadean/GB)

Deutscher Bierabsatz 2013 leicht rückläufig Der Bierabsatz in Deutschland sank 2013 auf 94,6 Millionen Hektoliter (- zwei Prozent im Vergleich zum Vorjahr), wovon rund 84 Prozent davon für den Inlandsverbrauch bestimmt waren. Etwas mehr als zehn Millionen Hektoliter gingen in die EU-Länder (- 8,6 Prozent im Vergleich zum Vorjahr), 4,7 Millionen Hektoliter in Drittländer (+ 8,7 Prozent). Mit 4,2 Millionen Hektoliter machten Biermischgetränke 2013 4,5 Pro-

zent des gesamten Bierabsatzes aus, was ebenfalls einen leichten Rückgang von knapp zwei Prozent bedeutet. Eine interessante Entwicklung ist das zunehmende Interesse von China – mit einem Viertel des globalen Bierkonsums der weltgrößte Biermarkt – an deutschem Bier. (Quelle: Statistisches Bundesamt/D)

Craft Brauereien auf weltweitem Siegeszug Die so genannten Craft Brauereien begannen in den USA in den 1980er Jahren, die handwerkliche Braukunst wieder aufzugreifen. Mittlerweile finden sich im US-Markt fast 2.800 Craft Brauereien mit mehr als 110.000 Mitarbeitern.

Auch deutsche Brauer entdecken den Trend immer stärker für sich: würziges Pilsner, das mit Bergwiesen-Heuextrakt veredelt wird oder Biere, die sich neben dem kräftigen Röstaroma des Malzes durch einen Duft von milden Kräutern, Frühlingsblumen und leichten Zitronenund Fruchtnoten auszeichnen – das sind nur einige Beispiele dieser kreativen Bierkultur. Im weltweiten

Bierkonsum stand Deutschland 2013 mit 103 Litern pro Kopf auf Rang drei.

Am meisten Bier wird nach wie vor in Tschechien (145) und Österreich (106) getrunken. Auch in den Top Ten: Estland, Polen, Irland, Finnland, Rumänien, Bulgarien und Litauen – allesamt europäische Länder. (Quelle: Canadean/GB)

Kreative Bierkultur – Trendthema der BrauBeviale 2014 Getrieben wird das Trendthema vom ideellen Träger der Messe, den Privaten Brauereien Bayern, und dem European Beer Star Award, der seit 2004 seine Messeheimat auf der BrauBeviale hat. Die Verleihung der 2014er Awards, von Sommeliers begleitete und freie Verkostungen, die Craft Beer Lounge, der Aussteller Parcours mit speziellen Lösungen für kreative Brauer oder das bereits dritte gemeinsam mit der Versuchs- und Lehranstalt für Brauerei organisierte „European MicroBrew Symposium“ am Vortag der Messe sind einige Highlights. Im stylishen neuen Forum der BrauBeviale mitten im Messegeschehen eröffnet Jim Koch, Gründer und Geschäftsführer der Boston Beer Company, die das berühmte Samuel Adams braut, die Messe. Hier geben sich zahlreiche weitere VIPs der internationalen Brauerszene das Mikro in die Hand, so u. a. Charlie Papazian, Präsident der US-amerikanischen Brewers Association und Initiator des World Beer Cups, oder Dr. Marc Rauschmann, Frankfurter BraufactuM-Geschäftsführer.

Neue Verpackungsideen kommen an – auch auf der BrauBeviale Für alle Getränkesegmente gilt: Produkt und Verpackung sollten stets eine Einheit bilden, damit die Kommunikation mit dem Verbraucher am Point of Sales stimmt.

Gerade Getränkeverpackungen sind hochinnovativ. Die Verpack-

ung einer afrikanischen Biermarke beispielsweise soll Qualität, Innovation und Kreativität gleichzeitig vermitteln. Das Bier kommt nun in einer zu 100 Prozent recycelbaren Dosenflasche, die in Afrika das erste Gebinde dieser Art ist, auf den Markt. Mit Tradition und Innovation spielt beispielsweise auch ein Kornbrand, der in Erinnerung an die Zeiten der Prohibition in EinmachGläsern angeboten wird.

Um innovative Verpackungen dreht es sich auch auf der Messe: Im BrauBeviale Forum laden – getragen von renommierten Branchenpartnern – Präsentationen, Diskussionsrunden oder Vorträge zu den Themen Getränkeverpackungsdesign, Verpackungsinnovationen und PET Recycling zum Verweilen, Zuhören oder Mitreden ein. Gern gesehener

Gast ist auch 2014 wieder der international ausgeschriebene Deutsche Verpackungspreis. Die innovativsten Lösungen aus über 200 erwarteten Einreichungen für Etiketten, Verschlüsse und sonstige Packhilfsmittel, Displays, Verkaufs-, Promotion-, Transportund Logistikverpackungen sowie bei Verpackungsmaschinen werden auf der BrauBeviale ausgezeichnet. Erstmalig stellt die Messe das PETnology-Konzept „connecting comPETence“ mit PETarena und Packaging Wall of Excellence vor. In dessen Rahmen präsentieren Unternehmen ihr facettenreiches PETAngebots- und Leistungsspektrum.

Die PETarena ist unter anderem auch Anlaufstelle für Verpackungsentwickler. Den Auftakt bildet der internationale zweitägige PETnology-Kongress, der unmittelbar vor der Messe stattfindet.

INAUGURAL GULFOOD MANUFACTURING SELLS OUT

Region’s biggest-ever trade show launch to highlight food logistics, processing, packaging and ingredients sectors Global food specialists and industry leaders to address Middle East food safety Organisers add new halls to meet international demand

C

onceived to capitalise on unprecedented market demand for the region’s manufacturing, processing, packaging and ingredients sectors, Gulfood Manufacturing 2014 – being held 9-11 November at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) – has officially sold out.

Amid steady domestic and regional growth in the food manufacturing and processing industry, the sectorspecific spin-off of Gulfood – the world’s largest annual food and hospitality trade platform – will debut as the Middle East, Africa and South East Asia’s (MEASA) biggest-

GULFOOD FP 3/14.indd 3

ever trade show launch. With a host of global food manufacturers, suppliers and service providers requesting exhibition space, organiser DWTC is adding new halls to cater for intense international demand.

At present, more than 1,000 international suppliers have committed to the specialist show, which is expected to gather more than 10,000 regional and global trade visitors, as well another 1,500 delegates who will share the latest industry insights, market trends and stateof-the-art technology and product innovations in a cache of niche

shows, conferences and technical workshops.

“The Middle East is rightly viewed as a key growth territory for the global food processing, packaging and manufacturing sectors,” said Trixie LohMirmand, Senior VicePresident, Events & Exhibitions Department, DWTC. “Gulfood Manufacturing will give international equipment, logistics and cold chain suppliers a tailored investment platform to gain an operational foothold in one of the world’s fastest growing markets.”

“Internationally, the sector is seeing multi-billion dollar investments and

exhibitions meetings

Gulfood Manufacturing will help facilitate and accelerate regional development. The fact the show is sold out five months ahead of its launch speaks volumes about how international suppliers, producers and manufacturers in various segmented industry sectors view the burgeoning regional market. We have listened to our customers and have committed to extending the debut show’s capacity.”

Similarly to its Gulfood namesake, the new show will feature a world-class line-up of international brands including IFFCO, Cargill Europe BVBA, Markel Bakery Group, Multivac, TNA Packing Solutions, Ishida Europe Ltd., Döhler Middle East and CSM Deutschland GmbH. The industry heavyweights will participate in themed sectors or within more than 24 national pavilions including Egypt, Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, Iran, Switzerland, Taiwan, China, Thailand, India, Italy, Austria, France, the USA, the UK and Germany – also the show’s Official Country Partner.

With Dubai already established as the world’s third-largest international re-export hub, the Dubai Strategic Plan (DSP) 2015 outlines the government’s strategy to develop sectors earmarked as key contributors to economic growth, such as transport and logistics.

Best-in-class infrastructure and a modern distribution network have led Frost & Sullivan to predict the UAE’s logistics market will reach AED24.5 billion (USD9.4 billion) by the end of 2014, while the International Air Transport Association (IATA) forecasts nationwide growth and demand will confirm the UAE’s ascent to the world’s sixth largest international cargo handler in the next six months, moving an estimated 2.75 million tonnes per year.

With the logistics industry a fundamental contributor to the country’s economic development, Food Logistics Middle East - one of three

focused Gulfood Manufacturing sectors – will highlight key trends affecting the global sector, such as materials handling, transport and commercial vehicles, I.T. and technology, warehousing and operators, facilitators and service providers.

Elsewhere, with processed and packaged foods already accounting for more than 50% of the GCC’s total food market, ProPack Middle East and Ingredients Middle East - two additional platforms at the show – will strengthen the UAE’s position as the region’s driving force in both lucrative sectors.

The events, which are designed to leverage local investment in procuring food processing and packaging machinery which surpassed AED1 billion in 2012, will cover essential

ingredients and raw materials such as meat, fish processing, dairy, beverage, bakery, sweets and snacks, as well as the entire value chain of packaging distributors and suppliers.

In addition to the core exhibitions, Gulfood Manufacturing will host a Food Safety Conference highlighting issues related to regional food safety. A host of internationally-acclaimed speakers and key industry figures will be confirmed in coming weeks.

Gulfood Manufacturing is open between 10am-6pm from 9-10 November and 10am-5pm on 11 November 2014 at DWTC. Visitor attendance is free of charge. For more information, please visit www. gulfoodmanufacturing.com

Mit 98 russischen und 114 internationalen Ausstellern waren nahezu alle Branchengrößen vertreten.

Erfreulich war auch die Zahl der Neuaussteller von insgesamt 45 Firmen.

Bereits zum achten Mal in Folge gab es auf der Modern Bakery Moscow eine deutsche Gemeinschaftsbeteiligung. Auf Antrag des Verbands deutscher Maschinenanlagenbauer (VDMA) und unter der Schirmherrschaft des Deutschen Bundesministeriums für Wirtschaft und Technologie präsentierten sich insgesamt 41 Aussteller.

Modern Bakery FP 3/14.indd 3

Positive Resonanz erhielt ebenso der erste, auf der Modern Bakery Moscow stattfindende, amerikanische Gemeinschaftsstand, der in Zusammenarbeit mit der BEMA (Bakery Equipment Manufacturers & Allieds) organisiert wurde. Der überwiegende Anteil der Aussteller zeigte sich bereits auf der Modern Bakery Moscow mit dem Verlauf der Messe, sowie der Besucherqualität und –anzahl sehr zufrieden und prognostizierte ein erfolgreiches Nachmessegeschäft. Über 15.000 Fachbesucher aus 43 Ländern informierten sich vier Tage lang über die neuesten Trends und Entwicklungen. Gegenüber dem Vorjahr konnte die Fachbesucherzahl um mehr als 5 Prozent gesteigert

werden. Nahezu die Hälfte der registrierten Besucher waren Inhaber, Gesch.ftsführer oder im Senior Management tätig und somit am Entscheidungsprozess maßgeblich beteiligt.

27 Prozent aller Fachbesucher kamen aus Industriebäckereien, 20 Prozent aus der Konditorei- und Sü.warenindustrie sowie 15 Prozent von Backmaschinenherstellern.

Weitere Besuchergruppen waren aus dem Bereich Ingredienzen, aus kleineren Bäckereien, dem Großund Einzelhandel, dem HoReCaSegment und der Verpackung- und Eiscremebranche. Überaus zufrieden waren die Fachbesucher mit der Produkt- und Informationsvielfalt. Erwähnenswert ist auch, dass für 87 Prozent der Besucher die Messe höchste Signifikanz besitzt. Die überwiegende Mehrheit gab an, die Modern Bakery Moscow auch im nächsten Jahr wieder zu besuchen. Dann wird die Messe vom 22. bis 24. April stattfinden.

Eine äußerst positive Resonanz bei den Fachbesuchern erhielt auch das vielseitige Rahmenprogramm.

Neu in diesem Jahr war u.a. die Plenarsitzung, in der namenhafte russische und internationale Verbandsvertreter und der Politik über die Zukunft und die Herausforder-

Des Weiteren fanden Seminare zu den Themen ‚Die Bäckerei des 21.

Jahrhunderts – Konzeptarbeit und Geschäftsentwicklung‘, sowie in Kooperation mit dem russischen Eisverband ein Workshop über die Produktion von Eiswaffeln und Eiscreme, zum ersten Mal statt. Hier informierten Referenten von Unternehmen wie Mec-3, CFT Haas, Stern Ingredients, Best Italy und Walterwerk Kiel.

Strategische Sponsoren waren in diesem Jahr Diosna und Miwe, die einen eigenen Workshop über Geschäftsmodelle in der Bäckereibranche unter den Titeln „Miwe Smart Engineering“ und „Industrielle Lösungsansätze für die klassische Teigverarbeitung“ durchführten.

Saf-Neva / LeSaffre hielt ein Seminar über neue Formate in der russischen Bäckereiindustrie unter dem Titel „Zukunftsversprechende Geschäftslösungen vom Rohmaterial zum Verkauf“, ab. Hier wurden auch wichtige Themen wie SupplyChain- Management, Marketing, Logistik angesprochen, aber auch auf das Thema längereHaltbarkeit von Fertigprodukten eingegangen.

Sehr positives Feedback von den Fachbesuchern erhielt auch wieder das Tiefkühlungs- und Kühlungsseminar, welches bereits zum vierten Mal in Zusammenarbeit mit Hartmut Grahn (GfB) stattfand. Referenten von Unternehmen wie Heinen Freezing, JBT Foodtech, Koma, Lillnord, Miwe, Revent, Wachtel, Wiesheu und WP informierten über neueste Technologien in diesem stark wachsenden Segment.

Ein weiteres Highlight der Jubiläumsmesse war der zum ersten Mal stattfindende Moscow Confectionery Art Cup, unterstützt durch Robert Oppeneder (Patissier und Inhaber der Firma Sweet Art), dem Präsidenten des russischen Kochverband, Herrn Victor Belyaev und

An drei Messetagen kämpften die Teilnehmer in den vier Kategorien, bestes Zuckerschaustück, bestes Schokoladenschaustück, bester Nachwuchskonditor und bester Konditor um den heiß begehrten ersten Platz.

Sehr gut angenommen wurde ebenfalls die Backshows des schweizerischen Kompetenzzentrums für Bäckerei, Konditorei und Confiserie, Richemont. Täglich demonstrierten die Bäcker dem überaus interessierten Fachpublikum, wie man typische schweizerische Köstlichkeiten, wie Polentabrot, Buchweizenbrot, oder einen Hefezopf, bäckt.Die 21. Modern Bakery Moscow findet im nächsten Jahr vom 22. bis 24. April 2015 auf dem Zentralen Messegelände Expocentre in Moskau statt.

IPACK-IMA SETZT AUF FRISCHE BEDEUTUNG UND REICHWEITE DER MESSE NEHMEN ZU

2015 macht noch mehr Platz für die Business communities.

Neu die drei Direktveranstaltungen Meat-Tech, Fruitech und Dairytech

D

ie IPACK-IMA 2015 soll ein großes Ereignis werden. Die Veranstaltung entwickelt sich, verstärkt Beziehungen und Effizienz für ihre 9 Business communities, also die Absatzbereiche für die ausgestellten Technologien.

Neben Grain Based Food – dem Schwerpunkt der IPACK-IMA, des international wegweisenden Messeevents für Ausrüstungen zur Herstellung von Trockennudeln – sieht das Ausstellungspanorama des nächste Jahrs eine große Neuheit im Bereich der Frischprodukt-Verarbeitung und der entsprechenden Technologien vor.

Denn im Rahmen der IPACK-IMA sind diesmal drei Direktveranstaltungen geplant: die MEAT-TECH für die Fleischverarbeitung, die FRUITECH für die Gemüse- und Obstverarbeitung und die DAIRYTECH für die Milchverarbeitung und Käseerzeugung.

Damit wird sich in den Ausstellungshallen einer der dynamischsten Sektoren in der Lebensmittelverarbeitung und im Großhandel umfassend präsentieren, wo sich neue Konsumverhaltensmodelle abzeichnen: „Frischprodukte” machen neue, spezielle Verpackungsmethoden mit neuen Technologien erforderlich, für

welche die IPACK-IMA der ideale Platz ist.Zusätzliches Potential erhält diese an sich schon hervorragende Gelegenheit, die sich mit der nächsten IPACK-IMA bietet, durch die Parallelveranstaltungen Converflex, Grafitalia und Intralogistica Italia, wobei letztere in Zusammenarbeit mit der Deutsche Messe stattfindet. Es wird die größte, umfassendste Ausstellungsveranstaltung der Welt für die Bereiche Verarbeitung, Packaging, Converting, Printmedien und Logistik werden!

Die Konzentration dieser vier internationalen und drei direkter Fachmessen ist ein Unikum hinsichtlich der Vollständigkeit des Messeangebots dieser untereinander verbundenen, die gesamte Lieferkette umfassenden Sektoren, eine einzigartige Gelegenheit für die Besucher, denen mit nur einer einzigen Eintrittskarte die gesamte Palette der führenden Technologie-Unternehmen aus vier strategischen Bereichen mit synergetischer Wirkung untereinander offen steht. Und parallel dazu bieten die Direktmessen der IPACK-IMA eine konzentrierte Ausschau auf Segmente mit großer wirtschaftlicher Expansionskraft.

Dieses detaillierte, umfassende Messeevent debütiert 2015 und soll dann nach derselben Messeformel alle drei Jahre wiederholt werden.

Zu dieser an sich bereits außergewöhnlichen Konstellation kommt nächstes Jahr hinzu, dass die EXPO 2015 zeitgleich und in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft zum Messegelände stattfin-

det, unter dem Thema „Feeding the Planet - Energy for Life”, das perfekt synergetisch zu dem der IPACK-IMA ist. Mit nur einer Reise nach Mailand erhalten die Buyer die außerordentliche Gelegenheit zu einem Besuch von vier internationalen Messen und der Welt-EXPO mit 143 Länder- und Themenhallen.

Die IPACK-IMA und ihre zeitgleich stattfindenden Messen belegen mit circa 2.500 Ausstellern und erwarteten 100.000 Besuchern das Gelände von Fieramilano praktisch komplett.

Präsident der Veranstaltung, die traditionsgemäß einen hochrangingen Vertreter der Verbraucherwelt vorsieht, wird nach Alberto Bauli im Jahr 2009 und Paolo Barilla im Jahr 2012 nun Marco Pedroni, Vorsitzender der Coop Italia sein.

Auch auf der nächsten Veranstaltung wird die hohe internationale Bedeutung der IPACK-IMA unterstrichen durch die Zusammenarbeit mit UNIDO (der Organisation für industrielle Entwicklung) und den FAO-Beratungsstellen der Vereinten Nationen, in Form eines gemeinsamen Kongresses zu „Processing & Packaging Innovation for a Sustainable Development”, an dem sich auch die EXPO beteiligt. Der Kongress soll am 20. Mai 2015 zum Thema Nachhaltigkeit stattfinden, dem Leitmotiv der Begleitevents aller Veranstaltungen im Jahr 2015.

Dies wird die dritte Veranstaltung der IPACK-IMA mit dieser hochrangigen Zusammenarbeit sein, die 2009 mit dem Kongress „More technology, safety & quality, less hunger” startete und sich 2012 mit dem internationalen Symposium „Enhancing Food Safety and Food Security in African Countries. Packaging & Processing Technologies from the Farm’s Gate to the Consumer Table” fortsetzte.

anstaltung sind alle führenden Unternehmen des Bereichs mit dabei, in Bestätigung der letzten Konjunkturdaten der Ipack-Ima-Beobachtungsstelle zu diesem Wirtschaftssektor, die von Marktwachstum und -dynamik künden. Thema der neuen internationalen Veranstaltung der Ipack-Ima Spa sind die Technologien und Produkte für die Verarbeitung, Konservierung, das Packaging und den Vertrieb von Fleisch.

Die Ausstellung findet vom 19. bis 23. Mai 2015 auf der Fieramilano statt, zeitgleich zu der großen IPACKIMA, die eine große Neuheit für die Verarbeitung von „Frischprodukten” und den entsprechenden Technologien präsentiert: denn die Meat-Tech entstand als Neben-Veranstaltung der IPACK-IMA, zusammen mit den beiden Direktmessen FRUITECH als Fachmesse für Obst- und Gemüseverarbeiter und DAIRYTECH als Technikmesse für die Milch- und Käseindustrie. In den Ausstellungshallen wird einer der dynamischsten Sektoren in der Lebensmittelverarbeitung und im Großhandel umfassend präsentiert sein, wo sich neue Konsumverhaltensmodelle abzeichnen: Denn „Frischprodukte” machen neue, spezielle Verpackungsmethoden mit neuen Technologien erforderlich.

Die Schirmherrschaft über die neue Direktmesse haben wichtige Organisationen übernommen: Assica, der Verband der industriellen Fleisch- und Wurstverarbeiter – der die Meat-Tech 2015 als Referenzveranstaltung für das technologische Up-Dating auserkoren hat - und Assofoodtec, der Italienische Verband der Maschinen-, Anlagen und Ausrüstungshersteller für die Produktion, die Verarbeitung und Konservierung von Lebensmitteln.

Jetzt schon sind mehr als 60% der verfügbaren Flächen von Ausstellern reserviert, unter denen keines der namhaften Branchenunternehmen fehlt. Eine wichtige Tatsache ist die erhebliche Anzahl von Ausstellern,

die sich für die Investition in große Stände entschieden hat, was das lebhafte wirtschaftliche Klima in diesem Sektor, das sich aus der jüngsten Untersuchung der Ipack-ImaBeobachtungsstelle ergab, bestätigt.

Nach Angaben der Beobachtungsstelle zur Konjunktur hatte die Business Community Meat im zweiten Halbjahr 2013 für die italienischen Lieferanten von Maschinen, Waren und Dienstleistungen für die Produkte dieser Branche eine gute Konjunktur zu verzeichnen, sowohl bei der Umsatzentwicklung als auch bei den Exporten und der Beschäftigungslage, mit Daten, die über dem an sich schon guten Durchschnittsergebnis der Ipack-Ima-Stichprobe liegen, die insgesamt 9 Business Communities in den Sektoren Food und Non-Food analysiert. Günstig sind auch die Erwartungen für die erste Hälfte des Jahrs 2014, die, stets laut Beobachtungsstelle, von einer weiteren positiven Entwicklung gegenüber dem vorherigen Halbjahr ausgehen, mit guten Ergebnissen sowohl beim Umsatz als auch bei den Exporten.

Die außerordentlichen Chancen, die die Meat-Tech bietet, werden zusätzlich potenziert durch die zeitgleich stattfindenden Converflex, Grafitalia und Intralogistica Italia, letztere in Zusammenarbeit mit der Deutschen Messe. Es wird die größte, umfassendste Ausstellungsveranstaltung der Welt für die Bereiche Verarbeitung, Packaging, Converting, Printmedien und Logistik werden. Ein weltweit einzigartiges Messeevent hinsichtlich Vielfalt und Vollständigkeit des Ausstellungsangebots von untereinander synergetischen Sektoren, mit einem enormen Attraktivitätspotential für internationale Buyer, insgesamt 2.500 Ausstellern und über 100.000 erwarteten Besuchern, das noch interessanter wird durch die Tatsache, dass zeitgleich dazu und in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft zum Messegelände die EXPO 2015 abgehalten wird.
