ppma matters

“You can lead a horse to a PPMA Show, but…” We have all heard the old adage, ‘you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.’ Nowhere is this more graphically illustrated than in the Trade Show industry. I was recently hosting the UK pavilion at a popular Asian Show. I am pleased to say that the majority of UK exhibitors had a very successful trip but when, after the first day, I enquired as to business levels, one company complained that they had had almost no visitors. Genuinely concerned, I observed the said stand during the second day of the event and found the three employees sat in two respective corners with their noses buried in their i-Phones and there was litter and an old sandwich case on the otherwise bare table in the middle of the stand! The occupants of this rather bland space were oblivious to the steady stream of potential customers passing them by. No wonder the said company was not getting any visitors! Yet, curiously, come the end of the show, they swore that the organisers had let them down. Whether you are an exhibitor or a visitor, trade fairs remain the best of all places to network and forge good business relationships. Face-to-face contact between customers and suppliers will always make the wheels of business turn more smoothly. But as an exhibitor, preparation and appropriate execution throughout the event are essential if you are to realise the best return for your significant investment. It is not the fault of the organiser if your stand and your own efforts to engage with the visitors fall short of what every professional company should be doing. The organiser can only bring the visitors to the show – the rest is up to you. As a visitor seeking to purchase equipment or simply to stay abreast of the latest developments, where else can you find such a dense collection of suppliers all in one place and all trying to impress you with the best of their best? Like the exhibitors, trade show visitors need to plan ahead to make the most of these opportunities, too. September will see the annual PPMA Show at the NEC. As organisers, we shall be doing everything we can to maintain the good reputation of this event as the best and largest machinery show in the UK. There is simply no other show that can compete in terms of content and scale. If you are a visitor or an exhibitor, don’t forget that we also rely upon you to ensure that you enable us to make the event a success. “We can lead a horse to water, but we canʼt make him drink!”

Multi-million canning line produces Olympic Coke A £14m canning line is being brought into service this month by Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) at its Sidcup plant, as the country’s biggest soft drinks producer celebrates its 50th year of production in the Kentish town. As well as potentially boosting the plant’s output by 33% to some 62 million cases a year, the new turnkey line offers significant environmental benefits compared to existing equipment in terms of its water and energy usage, and carbon emissions. Supplied by KHS, the line can run at up to 2,000 cans a minute and comprises a depalletiser, filler, blender, tray packer and robotic palletiser. Although it only requires a relatively small footprint of just 1,500sq m, the line is highly flexible: it will produce 150ml and 330ml cans, as well as 500ml cans if required in the future; in a variety of multipack formats; with an array of features to help reduce changeover times. The extra capacity will help Sidcup gear up for next year’s Olympic Games in London – for

The new canning line will give extra capacity to help Sidcup gear up for next year's Olympic Games, for which it will provide a number of products. The site celebrates its 50th birthday this year

which it will provide a range of products – and the plant had another reason to celebrate recently when it was officially certified as an approved supplier by the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. As with other recent contract wins at CCE – such as a new canning line at its Wakefield plant (see page 26) – KHS has ensured that this latest installation meets the soft drinks

company’s ambition to reduce further its environmental impact. For instance: the new line at Sidcup uses air, rather than water, to rinse empty cans. Such technologies are in line with CCE’s Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability strategy, which has seen the company invest heavily in environmental initiatives at all its plants in recent years. In its recently-published sustainability report, CCE

Food is beating the downturn The UK food and drink industry has bucked the general trend of declining manufacturing output with a 0.5% increase on June 2011 compared to the same month in 2010. The latest Food and Drink Federation business confidence survey has also revealed findings which indicate that the sector is one of the most resilient, even in difficult times. UK sales remain strong and have grown over the past quarter for almost two thirds of 8

respondents with 76% also expecting growth over the next three months. This is against a backdrop of rising commodity prices and while levels of short term investment suffered in Q2 (AprilJune 2011), the net change overall remained positive, illustrating the sector’s commitment to keep investing through difficult spells. Nearly half of respondents in Q1 (Jan-March) expected to increase R&D expenditure in

MACH INERY U P D AT E: S EP T E M BER/OCTOBER 2011

Q2, but this only translated to 18%. Two thirds of respondents kept capital expenditure levels the same in Q2 with again fewer companies increasing expenditure then expected. Good news going forward, however is that investment levels in Q3 are forecast to be much higher due to greater projected spending on R&D and upskilling, but this is likely to be due to the natural investment cycle leading up to Christmas. www.fdf.org.uk

highlights how it has cut carbon emissions across its GB operations by 5.5% since 2007; slashed its overall water use ratio by 11.7% since 2007 to 1.36 litres per litre of drink produced; and is now sending zero waste to landfill from its key manufacturing sites across the country. Significantly, the new Sidcup canning line represents almost half the £31m being invested this year in new equipment by CCE at its main plants. “We have a long history of making products in Great Britain and see a positive future for manufacturing in this country – as demonstrated by our ongoing investment at our six factories,” says Roman Manthey, CCE’s group operations director. “Much of this investment is focused on delivering against our demanding sustainability agenda,” he says. “Our ambition is to grow more, using less; our investment at Sidcup is a sign that we are serious about achieving that goal.” 0121 713 6900 www.khs-ag.com

A credible plan for growth is required One of David Cameron’s former business advisers Brian Binley MP called on the Government to do more to help small firms when he spoke at a conference organised by Pera, one of Europe’s leading research and development companies on driving ‘Growth through Innovation’. He told the audience of business leaders that while the Government is absolutely right to tackle Britain’s eye-watering debt mountain, cutting red tape and boosting growth must be given greater priority. “As someone who has built up a small business myself I know too well the problems and challenges that

you face such as banks unwilling to help and the difficulties of developing new markets and products,” he told delegates. Binley spoke alongside former Trade Minister Lord Digby Jones who warned that the UK’s small firms are missing out on millions of

pounds of EU cash and are therefore investing less in R&D. He bemoaned the fact that the UK spends just 1.79% of GDP on R&D. “The UK R&D tax credit systems works well but much more must be done for innovative businesses to receive special fiscal help.”

Workplace fatality rise is big concern The number of workplace fatalities in Great Britain rose from 147 in 2009/10 to 171 in 2010/11 according to statistics published by the Health & Safety Executive. Although the number of such deaths is lower than the five year average, there was also a significant increase in the rate of fatal injury per 100,000 workers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; up from 0.5 in 2009/10 to 0.6 in 2010/11. While the number of workplace deaths in the agriculture sector fell from 38 to 35 there was an increased number of deaths in the construction, manufacturing and service sectors. Construction sector deaths rose from 41 to 50, manufacturing sector deaths rose from 24 to 27 and service sector deaths rose from 42 to 47.

Waste recyclers In terms of the rate of fatal injury, the agriculture and waste recycling sectors stand out as having the highest fatal injury incidence rates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The grim reality underlying this news is that 171 workers were killed in workplaces across Great Britain in 2010/11,â&#x20AC;? says Julie Nerney, chief executive of the British Safety Council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We pride ourselves on the strength of our health and safety regulatory framework, our competence and our commitment to keeping our workers healthy and safe and yet avoidable deaths are still occurring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tragically, these figures bring home in graphic terms the consequence of not effectively managing workplace hazards,â&#x20AC;? she continues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Had that commonsense and logical course of action been taken in managing workplace hazards it is quite possible that those 171 workers would still be alive and www. m a c hine r yup da te. c o . uk

Price labels offer savings A new model has been added to the GLP range of product labellers from Bizerba to offer potential savings to the food processing sector. The GLP-I, as the successor to the manual price indicator GH, also offers other benefits. Housed in a plastic casing, the GLP-I can be used for weightrelated, fixed weight and fixed value labelling in the manufacture of meat, sausage, poultry and cheese products as well as in the fruit and vegetable industry. “The great advantage of the GLP-I lies in the significant reduction in set-up times,” explains Dieter Conzelmann, director of industry solutions at Bizerba. “Because label rolls with a 300mm diameter can be used on the unit, the customer saves time and consequently, also saves cash.” Flexibility in use is also offered as the printer can be attached to a fully automatic printing line as a batch printer but can also be used as a manual weight and price indicator or networked to other Bizerba price indicators and checkweighers. “In all print widths up to 104mm, the user will achieve speeds of up to 250mm per second,” says Conzelmann. 01442 240751 www.bizerba.com

Stealthily rugged Fortress Technology has introduced the Phantom Stealth extra rugged metal detector which has a Lexan control panel designed to withstand the harshest production environments. The robust system’s modular design means fewer product parts resulting in greater reliability. Offering excellent return on investment, the Stealth metal detector has also been developed for future redesigns and new elements of the machine can be retrofitted to older models in the company’s Phantom range, ensuring spare parts and upgrades for additional functionality are readily available. For heightened stability and performance in wet or heavy duty product applications, the

The control panel can withstand harsh production environments

IP66 extra rugged casing has been used. The addition of an epoxy chute makes the Stealth metal detector water resistant. Digital Signal Processing technology has been incorporated to provide precision and speed, and to detect and reject ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including stainless steel.

Other key features include UltraSense, which ensures that high sensitivity levels are maintained in order to detect the smallest metal contaminants, and the Auto Test, selfdiagnostics tool, which helps to guarantee consistent high performance and to keep costs down. 01295 256266 www.fortresstechnology.co.uk

Entry level poly wrapping system With the launch of its new 1000 Solo Buhrs claims that affordable poly wrapping is available to everyone, as the new system provides a cost effective and flexible means of adopting this process within many production set-ups. With a top operating speed of 10,000 products an hour, the unit is an excellent machine for SMEs with post-press wrapping applications. Low maintenance

costs and a proven long system lifespan combine to deliver a high return on investment, says UK and Ireland agent Friedheim International. This, in turn, translates to a convincing priceperformance ratio. Automatic adjustments and settings for the wrapping module deliver reduced set up and make ready times, while the combination of system automation and user-friendly

operator interface make it easy for operators to become proficient in a short period of time. Job settings can be stored easily in the system’s memory, enabling recall and editing to be achieved in minutes. The unwinder, fitted with tension control, is equipped with end of roll detection as standard. 01442 206100 www.friedheim.co.uk

Aseptic PET filler for medium sized bottlers Krones has developed and field-tested a compact sized aseptic filler to allow medium sized bottlers to handle relatively small batches of PET bottles in aseptic mode in a cost efficient way. With the PET-Asept D Compact for dry-aseptics, Krones has created a genuine aseptic solution and a flexible machine to handle low outputs without any cost penalties. It no longer needs any sterile-water UHT system in order to operate as the containers and the isolator are sterilised with gaseous hydrogen peroxide. The machine itself is cleaned using caustic and acid, which means that peracetic acid and foam cleaning products are no longer required on the system. The small footprint on a minimised floor area is comparable with linear machines, says Krones.

The compact sized aseptic filler allows medium sized bottlers to handle relatively small batches for the first time

In the core section, the containers are passed by a gripper conveyor system first through a pre-warming zone, then sterilised by means of gaseous H2O2 before entering the blow-out section of the steriliser. After this, the containers are filled and then capped. The height adjustable conveyor is already isolated from the sterile zone, which means that minimised change over times are achieved without any handling parts

needing to be replaced. This new machine has an output range covering 6,000 to 12,000 containers an hour. The PET-Asept D Compact can be installed as a stand alone line component or monobloc-synchronised with a stretch blow moulding machine. A first line featuring the PET-Asept D Compact was delivered to a German bottler earlier this year. 01942 845000 www.krones.co.uk

Linerless 驶green始 labellers Atwell Labellers has introduced a range of high speed linerless application machines to join its linerless print & apply applicators for outer case and pallet labelling. The new units can handle a roll of preprinted linerless labels up to 100mm wide and 500 metres long as standard, with the ability to be modified to handle larger sized labels

as required. With label application speeds of up to 150 labels a minute, and with the ability to add an in-line printer for date, batch and price information, the new system offers users reduced costs and environmental footprint. The compact design of the new label head means it can be mounted above, below or to the side of any integrated

system or as part of an existing production line or labelling system. This means customers with existing self adhesive labelling systems can take advantage of the new ecofriendly technology without having to reinvest in a complete new line. 01444 239970 www.atwell-labellers.co.uk

X-ray unit for pumped foods saves money Mettler-Toledo Safeline has launched the AdvanCheK Pipeline x-ray inspection system to deliver high levels of contaminant detection in pumped food products ranging from meat and poultry to liquids, slurries and semi-solids like jams, sauces, soups and also yoghurts. Positioned at the early stage of the production process, the AdvanCheK Pipeline ensures only non-contaminated pumped food products are advanced for further processing and final packaging. By catching and removing contaminants early in the production process, the system minimises product waste and therefore saves production costs. It detects contaminants such as glass, metal, stone, bone and high density plastics. “Typically, detection levels are better in the early stages of the production process where unprocessed pumped product can be presented in a shallower depth and with a more uniform texture,” says Paul King, sales manager at Mettler-Toledo Safeline. “At each stage of the production process the value of the product increases therefore it is more cost and waste effective to install an AdvanCheK Pipeline early in the process before the product has been processed or sealed in its final packaging.” The unit can be easily attached to existing production lines as it is designed on castors, so it can roll backwards during product calibration without the need to disconnect the pipe work or cause any other problems. 0116 235 7070 www.mt.com 14

High speed mix weigher Ishida says it is taking the accurate weighing of mixed products – such as nuts, confectionery and convenience meals – to a new level of sophistication and accuracy with the introduction of a 36 head multihead weigher. In particular, the new CCW-R236 is able to ensure the correct amount of high value products with no need for overfilling. And, it is capable of handling and mixing up to eight different products at high speeds, with a top speed of up to 360 weighments a minute for a single product. The mix weighing process means each section of the machine acts as an individual weigher, allowing each ingredient in the mix to be given a specific target weight to ensure that the final product contains exactly the right proportion. Equally important, each section can be specified with different contact parts in order to cope with the special characteristics of difficult-to-handle products, such as sticky items including raisins

The CCW-R-236 from Ishida Europe is capable of handling and mixing up to eight different products at high speeds

or jellies, without compromising speed or accuracy. The CCW-R-236 incorporates Ishida’s proven R Series technology, including Pulse Width Modulation, which ensures a controlled and more predictable flow of product through the machine, and special combination calculation software, 5-stage digital filter, anti-floor vibration and Ishidamade load cells that enable the weigher to maintain excellent accuracy at these high speeds.

This accuracy has further reduced product giveaway, meaning significantly more packs can be produced from the same amount of product, while faster calculation speeds allow the weigher to calculate several possible final combinations each time. As a result, the missed cycles that can occur in some machines have been all but eliminated, says Ishida. 0121 607 7700 www.ishidaeurope.com

Machine vision sorts plastic parts easily RNA Automation has installed a fully automated quality control and inspection system to handle and inspect plastic moulded components at a leading food company. The brief demanded handling of two different sized and shape components with minimum changeover time which was made more difficult because of their complexity and fragility. The system could not cause any damage to these parts which had a detailed periphery. Also, the system had to inspect from three planes: top for damage and optical character recognition; bottom for diameter and damage and finally, height and profile. Each detected reject had to be removed. Additionally, the customer demanded operating speeds of up to 1200 parts a minute and the equipment designed to meet food and GMP standards. To enable the system to deliver these speeds, a twin headed design with

duplicate rotary feeders, conveyors, a clever rotary glass disc and reject segregation with a common good part collection was devised by RNA. In operation, components are fed from a centrifugal feeder on to a conveyor system and then fed individually into a rotating glass disc. A clever use of gating and a non contact accumulation system has overcome handling problems called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;castle or double upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which these components are

prone to. An encoder and trigger sensor were fitted onto the glass disc so that once a component part has passed through this, an encoder count is stored. The PLC then tracks the components around the disc triggering the appropriate cameras and ejecting reject parts. Good components continue around the disk being gently swept off down a chute into a collection box. 0121 749 2566 www.rnaautomation.com

IN BRIEF Atwell Self-Adhesive Labellers has reduced labelling costs, increased outputs and achieved high tolerance levels in label application at Empire Food Brokers by installing a fully automated in-line top and bottom self adhesive labelling system.

Empire Food Brokers has automated its labelling process

The overhead solution incorporates an Atwell Series 3000 print & apply label head to either apply existing preprinted labels but also offering the ability to print blank labels once the preprinted stocks have been used. An Atwell AL2-120S programmable stepper driven label head for applying preprinted labels is incorporated in the base solution. 01444 239970 www.atwell-labellers.co.uk Beumer is providing bag transport conveying technology and palletising and packaging solutions for two Russian locations of Knauf Engineering. The scope of the supply includes a conveying system for bag transport and two Beumer paletpac bag palletisers with a Beumer stretch hood packaging line at each location. The palletisers in Novonukutzk can bundle 10kg bags of plaster and putty at 1,500 an hour, as well as assemble 1,350 bundles of one 25kg and one 30kg bags an hour. At the other Russian site in Novomoskovsk, the systems are palletising and transporting 1,800 bags an hour on the plaster line and 600 an hour on the putty line. To fulfil this project, Beumer had to adapt its systems to accommodate the limited spaces available in the facilities. 01530 267091 www.beumer.com 20

Tray sealing gives strawberry savings Strawberry grower Busby Partners, a member of Farm Fresh PO, has substantially increased throughput while reducing labour costs and cutting packaging waste following the installation of Proseal’s GT2 tray sealer for the top sealing of fruit punnets. As part of this installation, Proseal also designed a customised outfeed to the tray sealer to accommodate the dimensions of the Busby Partners pack house. Busby’s move to heat sealed packs from the traditional clip on lids meets the drive in the industry to reduce packaging weight without compromising packing speed or product quality. By switching to the GT2, the company has achieved speeds up to 90 packs a minute, reduced packaging waste by 25% while using pre-printed film and printing any additional information online, has

As part of the installation, Proseal also designed a customised outfeed to the tray sealer to accommodate the dimensions of the Busby Partners pack house

eliminated the need for print and apply labels. The move to heat sealed packs has reduced labour packing costs by 20% and the increased

throughput enables the company to grow more fruit without expanding its workforce. The new pack style also means that once the lid is sealed, the fruit is tamper proof. Phillip Busby of Busby Partners was very happy with Proseal’s flexible approach to installation and its customer service, particularly with the on-site demonstration to allow the packaging team time to get used to the machine as well as letting growers see the benefits it offered. “Proseal was very flexible when it came to installation and manufactured a customised outfeed with a 90deg angle specifically to meet the space available in our pack house, unlike other manufacturers who adopted the opposite approach of trying to make our facilities fit their machines,” he said. 01625 856600 www.prosealuk.com

Weighing up fishing baits Automatic linear weighing and counting machine maker Easiweigh has supplied equipment to a leading producer of fishing baits to automatically weigh and deposit pellets and boilies into bags ranging from 250g to 1kg in weight. The pellet bait was an easy product to handle because it is a dry, free flowing product and Easiweigh was not surprised when the product trials showed an accuracy of -0g to +3g when running a minimum target weight of 400g. The boilies however, were trickier as the customer wanted the bits and incomplete product that is produced during manufacturing, to be sieved out during the weighing process. This way, defective product does not make it into the finished bag. To achieve this, Easiweigh fitted the linear weighing machine with a ‘sieve tray’ that allows the full size boilies to pass over it and into the bag but part products fall through the bars to the bottom of the tray from where they are deposited into a separate catch bin. Installation has increased efficiencies as packing rates have increased, labour has been saved and product presentation has improved. Removing the fines and part products has also ensured less customer complaints. A single Easiweigh ‘Midi’ linear weighing machine will typically achieve a throughput speed of 10-12 weighments a minute, but to increase speeds, up to four machines can be combined. This results in a maximum throughput of between 40 and 48 deposits a minute. 01733 202088 www.thegshgroup.com 22

special feature sustainability

Corporate responsibility is slow to impact sector There is no doubt that sustainability is steadily gaining importance with consumers, even during tough economic times, and many want ethically and ecologically sourced products packed in a resource-conserving manner. Fast moving consumer goods (fmcg) manufacturers are all devising corporate responsibility and sustainability plans – over many pages in a lot of cases – that set out their goals in this area. Much of which revolves around resource management, an area the machinery sector can contribute handsomely, especially in energy usage. Evidence of fmcg companies setting out their eco ambitions includes Unilever. For instance, the owner of brands such as Dove soap and Domestos household cleaner has talked about its plans to double its worldwide sales from the current 40 billion euros by 2020, and simultaneously halve its carbon dioxide emissions by improving efficiency in packaging and production. In the last twelve months, various 24

companies have made announcements such as Birds Eye targeting a 15% reduction in its packaging over the next two years as part of its Forever Food sustainability plan; the Kerrygold Company investing in a plant billed as one of Europe’s most environmentally friendly facilities and many companies aiming to send zero waste to landfill at the very least.

No to compressed air In terms of machinery, there has been a flurry of launches that no longer require or need very little compressed air. There has been an increase in the use of servo motors to achieve energy savings. And machines have had to adapt to run bio plastics or recycled materials. But how many customers ask directly about sustainability issues when buying new equipment? Machinery Update asked this question of a number of machinery manufacturers and although this is not a scientific poll, the

M ACH INERY U P D AT E: S E P T E M BER/OCTOBER 2011

average figure seems to be between 0 and 15%. And unsurprisingly, many of those customers that mention eco issues are larger, household names rather than SMEs. Not a huge number, given the emphasis by fmcg companies. Although only a few larger companies are asking Ilapak about such things so far, the company sees this whole area as an opportunity not a threat. “Since 2007 we have been redesigning our machinery to be less expensive to run and operate and we have also been experimenting with different types of sealing systems and materials to reduce energy and heat loss during sealing cycles,” explains Tony McDonald, divisional sales manager at Ilapak UK.

Waste is a concern “Large companies certainly have sustainability as part of their corporate purchasing policy, particularly food companies where wastage is a major concern,” says Gary Cowlard, chief w w w. mach i ner y u p d ate. co . u k

Small does not mean 'indifferent' in this area,” he says. One company that sees sustainability as becoming increasingly important for long-term success is Beumer. “For us, sustainability is not a trend, but rather a topic of long term importance and we have declared it to be one of our basic values,” says Regina Schnathmann of Beumer. “We continually and systematically access the sustainability of our products and use a point system to validate our products in terms of economic, ecological and social responsibility,” she says. “We call it the Beumer Sustainability Index.”

Embryonic interest Wilson Clark, UK general manager of Logopak says interest in the subject is very much embryonic and the numbers are still very small. “However, while not one of our customers raised the issue of sustainability last year, we have experienced small but growing interest this year and now have three projects under way as part of sustainability projects with a major multi-site customer,” he says. Interest in the company’s recycling scheme for silicon-coated release paper has been much higher and he expects about 15% of customers to be using the scheme by next year. “Particularly those now adopting a no-waste-to-landfill philosophy,” he says.

Machine build quality Clark thinks that one important point to consider is that sustainability surely also applies to machine build quality, reliability and longevity. “Specifically when buying coding and marking equipment, we find that less than 5% of our customers ask directly about sustainability,” says Charles Randon, product manager at Linx Printing Technologies. “We believe that this is because coding has a relatively low amount of waste and environmental impact.” Neil Ashton, sales manager at Packaging Automation says that about 10% of its customers ask directly about sustainability but as the larger companies accept their responsibilities and acknowledge the changing world, “it would www. m a c hine r yup da te. c o . uk

machinery sales,” says Alan Yates, md and ceo of Endoline. “From our experience, larger companies do have a kind of master plan they are committed to follow in this area and therefore, they have a more frequent demand,” says Ingolf Latz of OCS Checkweighers. “However, we believe that sustainability cannot be a matter of size, it is rather a matter of time and available in-house manpower.” The company’s factory in Kaiserslautern, Germany has invested in alternative sources of energy to save fossil fuels and implemented many other eco features into its plant. One company that has taken these issues on board is Rockwell Automation. It says that while working to make operations cleaner, safer, more energyefficient and more competitive, it can turn ‘sustainability challenges’ into business advantage. For example, advanced automation solutions can save money in energy, raw materials and scrap/waste.

Ian Johnson, operations director at Coca-Cola Enterprises’ Wakefield site feels that suppliers need to recognise the changing landscape that everyone now operates in and how consumers are savvy on sustainable issues

“Our suppliers are now adapting to more sustainable equipment to deliver cost and environmental benefits and recognise that itʼs a major part of our thinking. Our needs at the Wakefield site are still the same, but corporate responsibility and sustainability is now part of our DNA.”

be fair to say the smaller companies will have to follow”. According to Chris Bolton, sales and operations director at PFM Packaging Machinery, not many customers ask directly about sustainability as a subject in its own right, but a large number of customers are looking at new ways in which machinery can help reduce the quantity of packaging they use and are also studying biodegradable and compostable materials.

Biodegradable film “Twinings, for example, is running biodegradable film on PFM flow wrappers,” he says. Meanwhile Endoline Machinery finds energy savings are an issue with customers. “While sustainability is not a direct question asked by our customers, the energy saving factor and ultimately cost saving while producing higher volumes, is factored into about 50% of our

Torsten Giese, marketing manager – PR & exhibitions at Ishida Europe says that although the majority of companies asking about these issues are large, it is also smaller firms who produce retailer own label products. Also, he says, manufacturers and retailers in snacks are pushing for film reduction, waste reduction, transport reduction and energy reduction. At Domino, the company is witnessing a huge upsurge in interest in these issues as Will Edwards, UK general manager explains. “In the past, about 10-15% of customers would ask directly about sustainability or corporate responsibility when buying equipment,” he says. “However in recent times, this percentage has changed dramatically to around 40-50% of customers. “Increasingly, total cost of ownership is becoming critical to equipment-buying customers and part of these ownership costs takes the form of waste and environment costs,” he concludes. Of course, using less material, less energy and less water is not only an environmental goal; it just makes plain good business sense. And machinery manufacturers who can offer benefits in this area will be grabbing the opportunity sustainability issues can present.

Sustaining soft drinks for future generations Machinery Update talks to Ian Johnson, operations director at Coca-Cola Enterprisesʼ Wakefield site, to find out how corporate responsibility and sustainability works in practical terms at the largest soft drinks manufacturing facility in Europe

Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) is by any measure a big business. It is the world’s third largest independent Coca-Cola bottler, operates in seven European countries, and in Great Britain alone employs about 4,500 people at 22 production facilities, regional offices and depots. It has a national manufacturing footprint, with plants in Wakefield, Sidcup, East Kilbride, Milton Keynes, Edmonton and Morpeth producing brands such as Coca-Cola, Fanta, Powerade and Dr Pepper as well as Appletiser, Oasis and Capri-Sun. Through its Commitment 2020 corporate strategy, CCE has set out bold plans to minimise the environmental impact of its products and operations, with a particular focus on sustainable packaging and recycling, water stewardship, and energy and climate protection. And Wakefield is leading the way on that agenda – it was, for instance, the first CCE plant to send zero waste to landfill (a status it achieved in 2009), has had anaerobic digestion in place since 1989, and is exploring the use of combined heat and power.

Operations director Ian Johnson (right) shows David Cameron around the Wakefield plant during the election campaign last year

Close to £200m has been invested in various equipment since the Wakefield site opened in 1989

But Ian Johnson is the first to admit that cutting the impact his huge site – it covers a staggering 167,650 sq metres in total, with 72,000 sq metres under roof – has on the environment makes good business sense as well as being the right thing to do from an ethical standpoint. “The majority of corporate responsibility and sustainability (CRS) type projects we undertake have financial benefits which make it a win-win situation for us,” he says. “But as a business, we apply a lower threshold with lower payback parameters for CRS initiatives.” As the specific payback on capital investments is different to traditional spending, more CRS projects get board approval and therefore more projects are put into place. At Wakefield, monitoring and targeting water and energy are key themes at the site – in line with the CRS masterplans that every CCE production plant has in place. A real time monitoring system (with nearly 150 individual meters on site) measures how much energy and water is

M ACH INERY U P D AT E: S E P T E M BER/OCTOBER 2011

being used, where, when and under what circumstances. And the company has had much success in reducing its water use ratio which currently stands at just 1.22 litres per 1 litre of beverages made at the Wakefield site. This has been achieved through the introduction of new water nozzles, air rinsing, dry lubrication, utilising recycled rinse water and even collecting rainwater to wash its vehicles. “Water usage on can rinsing reduced dramatically when we simply introduced new nozzles,” says Johnson. As for energy usage, new efficient boilers have been installed saving 15% on gas and reducing emissions, all the central chilling plant on site has been replaced with a system that uses about half the power of the old ones, and low energy LED lighting is now being installed throughout all offices and corridors. There are ten lines in all at the plant filling soft drinks at mind-boggling rates into various packaging formats from 330ml w w w. mach i ner y u p d ate. co . u k

special feature sustainability cans to 3 litre PET bottles. Indeed, close to £200m has been invested at Wakefield since the site opened in 1989, making it one of the most efficient and sustainable sites in the Coke system. The plant also has to be highly flexible to cope with the increasing number of pack formats that have to be produced with ever-lighter cans and bottles. Johnson, who joined the company when Wakefield was built in 1989, says that in the 1990s the plant packed 330ml cans into trays that were then shrinkwrapped. Today, multipacks in either board or film are produced for 4s, 6s, 8s, 10s, 12s, 15s and 18s. And they have be able to handle lighter cans – the weight has reduced by 30% since 1989 – and PET bottles that now weigh 21.7g compared to weighing 39g in 1994. Another big change is the use of rPET PET pre-forms are manufactured on site in growing volumes. And CCE is now which has cut road miles drastically working towards incorporating 25% rPET started in October 2009. This one move in all its bottles by next year. That cut 135,000 road miles a year. It also material will be sourced exclusively from a new recycling facility being built by CCE invested in a new bottle blower in and ECO Plastics in Lincolnshire. This joint Famous brands produced by venture, for which CCE Johnson sits on the board of directors, was announced in March this year with aims to more than double the amount of high quality rPET currently produced in Britain. “We feel we have to take a lead on February last year which, says Johnson, recycling,” says Johnson. has a vastly reduced requirement for air Wakefield also manufactures PET preforms on site on a further two lines which it over the original equipment purchased and

allows for further lightweighting of bottles. This autumn will see the start of building a new Hi Bay automatic warehouse on site which will reduce dependence on outside storage as well as taking more miles out of the process. With such high levels of investment, what does CCE want from suppliers, particularly of new equipment? “We look for leading-edge technology on energy and water consumption,” says Johnson. “We also look for a partnership approach with suppliers that will take on board our own suggestions. We like to get close to suppliers and are willing to work with them to achieve our goals,” he tells Machinery Update. For instance: when a new line 7 was installed last year, the company worked with KHS on developing equipment with a fully welded construction. “Building equipment to handle very light cans at 2,000 a minute, hygienically and without damage, was achieved and KHS did a fantastic job,” he says. “We look at the total lifecycle cost of a

machine and not just the capital cost,” he continues. And the company is more than willing to take on board new ways of working to achieve its CRS ambitions. As Johnson’s engineering manager Mark Rollerson, says: “steal with pride” when it comes to new ideas. Johnson feels that suppliers need to recognise the changing landscape that everyone now operates in and how consumers are savvy on sustainable issues. “Our suppliers are now adapting to more sustainable equipment to deliver cost and environmental benefits and recognise that it’s a major part of our thinking,” he says. “Our needs at the site are still the same, but corporate responsibility and sustainability is now part of our DNA," he asserts.

Users benefit from low energy options As consumers, we are all feeling the pinch when it comes to our heating bills and are desperately lagging our lofts, replacing our windows and insulating our cavity walls to try to make a difference. It is, of course, no different for the manufacturing sector who, as well as wanting to save money, is often trying to meet corporate responsibility and sustainability goals within their businesses. This is why machinery manufacturers are developing equipment that uses less energy and here we highlight some of the most recent launches. For instance, Packaging Automation (PA) has developed a new version of its Eclipse range of high speed tray heat sealing machines to operate without using any compressed air. This, says PA’s sales manager Neil Ashton, provides food manufacturers with the environmental benefits they are clamouring for without raising costs or compromising reliability. Incorporating PA’s E-Seal technology, the new Eclipse SL4 is a fully electrical machine that requires zero air for full operation while achieving the same standards of reliability, versatility and performance. With all operations driven directly by small servomechanisms, running costs can be as low as 8% of an equivalent pneumatic system, resulting in significant savings. The SL4 is the first of the range to benefit from this new technology but the entire range will be upgraded. “Some areas of the industry, such as soft fruit producers, do not have the year round demand for compressed air infrastructure so a tray heat sealer that can just plug and play when seasonally needed is an

enormous advantage,” argues Ashton. “We are acutely aware of the need for versatility in all sectors of the food industry and have worked with our customers to identify current operating and production priorities and build in future-proof flexibility.” Allen Coding Systems introduced Diagraph’s platinum E series all electric labelling system earlier this year which as well as using less power than a hair dryer, does not use compressed air. It can also be moved from one production line to another without any problem. “We are now able to supply an allelectric labelling system that offers all the performance and throughput features customers are used to, with the added financial and environmental benefits associated with using less energy,” says Steve Ryan, UK sales and OEM manager at Allen Coding. 01438 347770 www.allencoding.co.uk 01565 755000 www.pal.co.uk

Energy managed with efficiency With energy costs continuing to rise, manufacturers from every sector strive to use less to produce more wherever possible. The range of products to help this happen continues to expand, and includes the latest family of AC inverter products from Yaskawa Europe which have just been listed on the UK government’s Energy Technology List. This means the J1000, V1000 and A1000 products are officially recognised as ‘green’ technology ideally suited to saving energy and reducing carbon emissions. Yaskawa inverter products can be used in applications such as fans, pumps and compressors as well as many other applications using standard AC motors. Meanwhile, Siemens Industry Automation & Drive Technologies has extended its range of products for energy management in industry. In its new Version 4.0, the Simatic powerrate software which measures and monitors energy values in production, is now also suitable for Simatic-S7315 controllers and PC-based solutions using Simatic WinAC RTX 2010. Already applicable to the Simatic WinCC visualisation system and the Simatic PCS 7 process control system in its existing version, Simatic powerrate now also performs energy management tasks in smaller-scale applications. With the KW1M series EcoPower Meter, Panasonic offers the basis for an intelligent energy management system. Energy consumption is identified efficiently and energy requirements of the various sub processes are made transparent so that an overview of where energy can be saved is provided quickly. www.yaskawamotoman.co.uk www.siemens.co.uk www.panasonic-electric-works.co.uk

Lightweight alternative to shrink wrapped PET Krones has developed LitePac, which it describes as “a more resource-economical alternative to shrink wrapped packs” for large PET containers. Following numerous experimental trials, a diagonal handle was deemed the sturdiest format and strapping technology as the equipment to deliver it. The horizontal strapping band consists of 8mm-wide PET which is fitted with a broad tear tab for simple opening and assured by fixing a relief tab at two welding points with a loop. The vertical strapping is used as a handle and is positioned diagonally between the bottles – it is made from soft, easy to carry polypropylene and is 15mm wide. The handle simultaneously centres and supports the strapping band, even at low temperatures and a low CO2 concentration in the containers. A barcode can be included with an adhesive film at the strapping band, or a code number can be printed on the vertical handle. Testing pack stability has been a key theme of the development and comparative trials were run on film-wrapped shrink packs and their strapped counterparts. The pack’s stability was also verified using tests on conveyors as well as palletisers. Palletising tests were carried out successfully with 1.5 litre bottles on half-pallets and for the track loading operation, bottles were not damaged. One of the paramount goals pursued with this pack strapping was to reduce energy consumption and dispensing with shrink tunnels has achieved this, while the requirements for packaging materials also goes down, as well as

achieving a reduction in domestic waste. Another crucial benefit is higher pallet capacity utilisation, says Krones. The diagonal bottle formation creates a more efficient layer pattern and, claims the company, pallet capacity utilisation can be increased by up to 20%, depending on the bottle diameter involved. The requisite technology required for LitePac is provided by the newly developed EvoLite packer, comprising a container infeed module and a container strapping module. In the infeed module, the containers are divided into two continuous lane flows, while four strapping units then create the LitePac packs in the container strapping module. This equipment has also been designed with the environment in mind and includes efficient motors specifically matched to the movements and acceleration functions in the machine; reduced power consumption is optimised with fine-tuned motor dimensioning and standby circuits minimise heat losses at the welding tongues. Reduced compressed-air consumption is achieved thanks to optimised piping configuration and use of the best possible crosssectional areas. Also, the use of lifetime-lubricated bearings and special brush technology for lubricating conveyor chains means almost complete elimination of lubricants while specially selected components has minimised noise emissions and maximised personnel safety. 01942 845000 www.krones.com w w w. mach i ner y u p d ate. co . u k

Turbine compliance proved Proven Energy, the UK’s largest supplier of small wind turbines, turned to Laidler Associates to help with the self-declaration of its latest P35-2 12.1 kW wind turbine to the new European Machinery Directive. Completing the compliance procedure also included the preparation of the technical file. The company was well aware that it could satisfy the CE marking requirements in relation to its products by self-declaring them for compliance with the EMC, Low Voltage and Machinery Directives. It decided, however, that due to the changes to the requirements with the new Machinery Directive, it would be prudent to get expert help. “Laidler Associates was not only very responsive, it was also clear that the company had a deep understanding of how the requirements of the regulations implementing the Machinery Directive

related to our product,” explains Jonathan Nowill, engineering director of Proven Energy. “But what was really impressive was the report that it produced for us.

“This included a detailed ‘to do’ list that laid out very clearly the exact steps we needed to take to ensure compliance,” he continues. “The list was easy to follow, and undoubtedly saved us a lot of time and trouble.” As an example of the type of issue identified by Laidler, the user manual was found to contain insufficient information on foreseen ways in which the wind turbine might be used or misused. This shortcoming, and the others highlighted in the Laidler report, was quickly remedied. “Having carried out the work recommended by Laidler, and organised our compliance documentation in the way that the company suggested, we can have total confidence that the P35-2 satisfies the requirements of the latest version of the Machinery Directive,” says Nowill. 0333 123 7777 www.laidler.co.uk

Wasting no paint is messy process

Newlife Paints founder Keith Harrison surrounded by his raw material

A compact sieve from Russell Finex is helping Newlife Paints in its recycling process of waste emulsion paint. A successful on-site trial proved that the sieves compact design and ease of use made it a hit with Newlife founder Keith Harrison. “The compact sieve is very easy to strip down and clean,” he says, “and it is clearly built to a high standard and as a result, out performed other competitor vibratory sieves that we trialled at our site.” The compact sieve is mounted onto a stand high enough to fit a 210 litre drum underneath it. The sieve is hand fed and once the paint passes through, it is pumped into the paint tins. When an entire batch has been processed, it is instantly stripped down and cleaned. “As different batches of colours are processed through the same machine, a key benefit of the sieve is that there is no colour contamination from one batch to the next and cleaning only takes a matter of minutes,” says Harrison. 020 8818 2000 www.russellfinex.com

Weighing with new multihead Yamato Scale Dataweigh will launch a high speed addition to its multihead weighing portfolio. Aimed predominantly at the food, confectionery, snack, powder and detergent sectors, the Dataweigh Omega applies groundbreaking technology to improve productivity, says the company. It operates at speeds of more than 200 weighments a minute and increases yield weights by up to 1.6%. The system also boasts greatly improved environmental responsiveness by offering a reduction in power consumption of 60%. The machine benefits from high frequency technology which withstands any unbalanced loads and minimises load cell vibrations. A lattice digital filter adapts to optimum weighing conditions and allows for high speed operations, while a dual load cell eliminates low frequency vibrations. At the same time, a toggleless gating mechanism reduces the mechanical impact on the load cell and suppresses the bucket gating noise. Individually adjustable collating chutes also facilitate high speed discharge, ensuring flexibility and enhanced product diversity while the accuracy of the system means there is little product waste. “The launch of the Dataweigh Omega series is a revolutionary addition to our portfolio,” says Neil Fowell, managing director of Yamato Scale Dataweigh UK. “It features ground-breaking technology which means we can offer significant benefits to customers in terms of productivity and operability.” Stand B21 www.yamatoscale.co.uk 36

Robots offer affordability Affordability is the theme of the Fanuc Robotics stand where a quirky demonstration of the Fanuc LR Mate’s ability to count one pound coins will greet visitors. The robot uses a vision system to locate randomly placed coins and place them into a piggy bank while counting them in the process. Relative to increases in operational costs, Fanuc is keen to point out that robots have decreased in price over the past 20 years which makes them affordable. With high duty cycle robots from Fanuc available from £16-£17k, the company argues that one year returns on investment begin to look realistic. The M-3ia and M-1ia delta arm robots for high speed pick and place tasks, the small high speed LR Mate robot and palletising robots for handling payloads up to 700kg will also be demonstrated. Stand B65 www.fanucrobotics.co.uk

Pharma coding Sunala will show its Pharmacarton Lite coder which is able to meet forthcoming EC track & trace regulations, along with a new ink for the Wolke m600 thermal ink jet printer that enables it to be used on nonporous surfaces, including blister foil packs. The Pharmacarton Lite provides total control of the carton during the print and vision process to ensure the accurate and quality printing of high density barcodes and 2D codes to ECC200/GS1 standards. The system can also be specified with a complete serial number management system. Stand E10 www.sunala.com 40

Rotary print and apply doubles labelling speed A new generation print & apply labelling machine that, for the first time, allows high volume goods such as pharmaceuticals, CDs and some tobacco products to be identified at full line speed with a unique bar code is being launched by Logopak. Unlike standard print & apply machines, mostly designed for speeds up to 100 a minute, the new Logopak Logomatic 510 Rota is able to reach 240 a minute, using a six head rotary applicator. This allows application of one label as the next is being printed which more than doubles the machine speed. “Issues of traceability, stock rotation and security mean there is growing demand for unit packs to be identified with unique information,” explains Logopak UK general manager

Logopak is introducing the world’s first rotary print & apply labelling machine at the show

Wilson Clark. “A printed bar code label carries all the data reliably, in both machine and human readable forms.” The new machine is based on a standard Logopak 515 case labeller but with the printed labels picked up by vacuum on the rotary applicator and then

transferred to the pack by direct pressure or air-blast. As a result, operation is virtually continuous motion, with no reciprocating parts. “Standard print & apply machines will generally run happily up to 100 a minute but, above that speed, maintenance becomes a little bit of an issue or a very large issue depending on the quality of labeller selected,” explains Clark. Logopak is now running trials of the new Logomatic 515 Rota machine on production lines at three locations in Europe. Further exhibits at PPMA include examples of the Logopak 400 and 800 series print & apply labellers with the latest PowerLeap III control system. Stand D81 www.logopakprintandapply.co.uk

Orders fulfilled live on stand While other exhibitors leave their factory for the duration of the show, SMC will take part of its factory with them. Live customer orders will be handfinished on a valve assembly cell on the stand for the duration of the exhibition which is believed to be a first in the history of the PPMA Show. Finished orders will then be returned to the company’s logistics facility in Milton Keynes for immediate despatch. The ground-breaking move is no gimmick, says SMC’s head of UK sales Nick Pittwood: “Obviously we want to showcase specific products,” he says, “but we also want to

show that many orders are produced in the UK. “Users can order customised solutions for their precise requirements, without the need to lock up cash ﬂow in spares inventory as we can supply on a just-in-time basis, with shorter lead times than for supplies from abroad because they’re made in the UK.” But it’s not just valves that SMC assemble by hand as FRL components, actuators and control systems are manufactured locally, to customer speciﬁcations too. “SMC is the only major pneumatics manufacturer in the UK to hand-assemble products at this level, on a daily basis, and we want to tell

businesses how we can help them optimise their cash flow, stock control and production efficiencies,” explains Pittwood. “In the current economic conditions, that might make the difference between a business surviving or going under.” Visitors to the show will also get an exclusive first UK viewing of some of SMC’s newest products. The stand will host 24 display panels many of them dynamic – which will highlight real-life applications where SMC products can help improve machine efficiency and cut energy costs.

TO MAKE PPMA SHOW HISTORY Capitalising on their reputation for innovation, SMC will go one step further than simply showing new products at this year’s PPMA show (The NEC, Birmingham, 27-29 September). Whilst other exhibitors leave their factory for the duration of the show, SMC - the worldwide leading experts in pneumatic automation and control solutions – will take part of their factory with them! Live customer orders will be hand finished on a valve assembly cell at stand F54 for the duration of the exhibition - a first in the history of the PPMA show. Finished orders will then be returned to the company’s logistics facility in Milton Keynes for immediate despatch.

Sanitising kit for produce Industrial Washing Machines will show various washing and sanitising solutions including the new entry level SAN100e model that has been developed specifically to offer dependable and effective sanitation at an attractive price. It is suitable for sanitising produce in buckets, bags, tins and trays. The SAN100e conveys the produce through a tunnel where a solution of sanitising fluid in mains water is misted onto the items from top, bottom and sides. The speed of transit through the tunnel can be set and easily adjusted to operate at between one and four metres per minute, depending on the user requirements. Stand B20 www.indwash.co.uk

Machinery talk brings benefits Anyone wishing to discuss the impact the Machinery Directive has already had and will continue to have on machine manufacturers and end users can visit machinery safety specialists Laidler Associates or attend a free seminar during the show (see page 56). “The topic of how the Machinery Directive affects manufacturers and end users is made even more important with the constant and frequent introduction of new technology,” says Paul Laidler of Laidler Associates. "Couple this with the fact that there is still a huge amount of confusion and a grave lack of knowledge surrounding the Machinery Directive and it is clear that there is the need for further education," he says. Stand D56 www.laidler.co.uk 44

Automating robotics give speedy payback A range of automation equipment with fast payback from Pacepacker will include show debuts for the Blu-Robot palletiser and the six axis Fanuc pick and place M-3iA system. The six axis 6kg parallel link arm robot is ideal for applications requiring more complex positioning and reorientation during the pick and place cycle. It has the ability to pick up components, position them at an angle and rotate them – effectively replicating a human operator but at far greater speed – with high repeatability over an indefinite sustained period. “Due to its smaller work envelope and high dexterity, the M-3iA/6A can automate tasks which previously were too fast and too complex for robots to handle,” explains Dennis Allison, managing director of Pacepacker. “It can, for example, sweep packaged goods in an arc under the top return of a cardboard box, which isnʼt possible for its four axis counterpart.

Pacepacker will present this pick and place system for complex products

“Visitors attend the PPMA Show to see the latest affordable equipment developments which will increase their competitive edge and this is one of them,” he claims. The Blu-Robot will also make its debut and is a pre-owned reconditioned robot palletising

system for budget conscious manufacturers looking for a fast return on investment. At half the cost of a new system, it can appeal to low production or seasonal manufacturers who cannot justify the cost of a new one. Stand C70 www.pacepacker.com

Delta robot debut Kawasaki Robots will debut its first Delta arm robot to the packaging industry. Designed for high reliability and ease of maintenance, the Y Series claims to be best in class for speed and repeatability. Integrated with a vision system, the Y Series will illustrate ultra high speed pick and place tasks while maintaining smooth motion control and accurate repeatability. With a

maximum payload of 3kg, the robot performs the standard industry TAC test of 25/305/25 in 0.45 seconds, while with a maximum payload of 1kg, the TAC test time lowers to 0.27 seconds. Accuracy is also a leading feature of the Y Series with positional and angular repeatability of +/-0.1mm. An optional fifth axis further enhances placement capabilities. With high reliability in mind,

the Y Series design avoids using a centre shaft for rotational movement by having a wrist mounted motor. This design further reduces exposed components and potential contamination traps, simplifying cleaning and maintenance tasks. The new robot also has a large work envelope of 1,300mm on horizontal and 500mm on vertical movement. Stand C73 www.kawasakirobot.co.uk

Automating the future with nature’s help Festo will demonstrate how automation technology of the future can employ principles adapted from nature. The stand features exhibits showing physical and behavioural properties that the company believes are key enablers to the robots of tomorrow, and all three form part of its on-going research into bionic automation technology. Festo’s bionic jellyfish – known as AquaJellies – will be demonstrating how they are able to sense and respond to their environment, and to communicate and cooperate as a group. These abilities are likely to influence the development of small autonomous intelligent systems that work in harmony to solve large-scale problems. The AquaJellies’ lifelike movement through the water is facilitated by eight tentacles that generate a peristaltic forward motion, just like their natural counterparts. Another exhibit is the RobotinoXT. This small mobile robot is equipped with a compact version of Festo’s Bionic Handling Assistant, which is based on a bionic model of an elephant's trunk. Capable of manoeuvring in cramped spaces, the robot has no less than 12 different degrees of freedom. The third Festo exhibit is a high speed egg handling robot, which uses the same type of adaptive gripper fingers as the Bionic Handling Assistant. This provides a practical demonstration of these bionic elements, which have obvious applications in pick-and-place, handling and sorting machines. Stand B72 www.festo.com 46

Toiletries range gives compact filler options Adelphi Masterfil will launch the Masterfil Pharma and Cosmetic range of in-line and rotary machines designed to offer a compact solution as well as the ability to handle fills from 10cc up to 1 litre while also meeting pharma needs for systems which can be cleaned thoroughly. The Servo system starts in semi automatic mode – running up to 60-120 containers a minute – and is based on the upgraded Response filling machine. The Response is capable of filling containers with heavy or difficult liquid, such as face creams or thick gels and now offers both single and a duplex filling system – a new design to the industry. Ideal for customers dealing

with numerous changeovers, the compact recipe driven Minifil and compact servo driven MiniCap offers a preprogrammed bespoke menu set to the customer’s product requirements. With simple

computer interfacing, a changeover can be completed in five minutes. The servo driven MiniCap is capable of both standard and bespoke closures that are found on cosmetic and pharma packs. However rather than manually trimming to match each batch, the servo sets itself to the desired input torque and gives a more consistent in-process finish. Meanwhile, the rotary system, consisting of a monobloc filler and capping machine, utilises the same recipe principles of the Servo but with additional heads on a rotary base – up to 12 fillers and 12 cappers – to deal with higher production requirements of up to 250 a minute.

Italian producer PFM is launching a new continuous motion vertical formfill-seal machine developed to provide higher output for cost and space saving stand-up bags used for direct on shelf display of a range of food products. “Growing interest in Europe in display bags to replace rigid packaging, so reducing packaging weight and pack footprint, has driven demand for faster and more productive machinery,” explains PFM sales and operations director Chris Bolton. “PFM’s response has been to develop the new PFM Solaris, to give output 50-100% higher than existing machinery.”

Capable of producing 100 block bottom bags or 90 PFM Steelo four-side-seal packs a minute, the latest Solaris is equipped with a new design of lightweight, long dwell box motion sealing jaw able to reciprocate at elevated speeds without risk of vibration. Maximum speed on conventional pillow packs is over 200 a minute while, on all styles of bag, seal integrity is assured by control software that provides a constant sealing time, irrespective of overall machine speed. In particular, Bolton expects the new machine to boost interest in PFM Steelo bags, on which the four corners are heat sealed to improve both rigidity and

Coding laser with no mess

Quality inspecting units

A coding technology which integrates the Herma developed label and an industry standard CO2 laser to give code contrast and quality will be launched. Most laser systems work by removing material or a coating from the product or by changing the surface of the substrate to generate the image, explains Herma. However, the Herma laser activated material works by using a laser sensitive material embedded into the label at manufacture, so no material is burnt away while coding which means there is no dust and no need for any extraction units. Used in conjunction with the Herma 400 label applicator, the system is said to provide superior results to traditional coding systems without the need for any consumables. The company will also showcase its M range of labelling systems which will be shown in both wraparound and front/back formats. The systems are capable of high speeds and are suitable for high volumes. Stand C75 www.herma.co.uk

OCS will introduce the new checkweigher series HC-M which is a compact unit designed for speeds up to 250 pieces a minute and which sits mid way between its HC-A top of the range equipment and the entry level EC-E machine. It is operated by an industrial PC and is characterised by its 10.4in mobile touch display and this easy, intuitive handling is used across the entire series. This compact checkweigher has a high ground clearance which affords a simpliﬁed cleaning access while the modular under frame allows for favourably priced scaling to individual requirements. This meets the growing demand for device combinations such as checkweighers with metal detectors or checkweighers with additional optical

need for additional training. This consistency is also offered for the patented belt technology and the servo motors used by OCS across the three types of machine. Also on the stand will be an x-ray system – SCW 3000-C – which combines scanning and weighing in one system. For this application, OCS has developed an advanced detection solution using a camera instead of the usual diode array. The company says this camera technology offers the advantage of a much higher resolution which in turn, provides a more accurate image and thus better basic information for the subsequent image analysis. As a consequence, the fast rejection rate for good products has been reduced signiﬁcantly. Stand D50 www.ocs-cw.com

Palletising robot brings flexibility Endoline Machinery will be launching the ʻSpiderʼ palletising robot which is new to the UK packaging market and will be sold exclusively by the company. The ʻSpiderʼ is a servo driven gantry robot built with 3 or 4 axes and combines a compact footprint with the ability to palletise boxes, crates, buckets, bags or other packed goods from one or multiple lines. Operated by interpolated controls, the heavy duty linear axes move like spiders with speed and accuracy enabling the machine to reach high speeds of up to 10 cycles a minute. Due to a specially designed fast gripper changing system – from vacuum gripper to a clamping gripper –the ʻSpiderʼ is suitable for a variety of sectors, including food and drink, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Change over is quick and efﬁcient as a result of pre-programmed pallet patterns which are stored into the unit and viewed via a large

This panel continuously visualises the status of the machine, the servo drives and the different peripheral equipment - such as infeed conveyors, pallet conveyors, and pallet destackers. The ease of use of the software also enables the customer to introduce new palletising patterns at any point. “The ʻSpiderʼ machine came to our attention through one of our European distributors – as the machine is particularly successful in Belgium and Holland,” explains md and ceo

of Endoline Alan Yates. “It was the ability to palletise different types of containers which was particularly appealing to us and as a result, we have established a joint venture with the Belgian company who manufacture the ʻSpiderʼ to produce it and launch it within the UK.” Also on show will be a complete packaging assembly line using a robotic pick and place system and a servo driven case erector.

Open Date Equipment will showcase the AutoPilot high resolution ink jet printing system, made by Squid Ink Manufacturing of Minnesota, following an agreement to distribute the equipment. Also, the companyʼs latest hot foil coding development - the E-Coder - will be demonstrated for the first time. AutoPilot is offered as an entry-level machine, printing high resolution characters on both porous and non-porous materials. It uses Xaar piezo technology to produce razorsharp text up to 18mm high, or logos at 180 dpi and can also print scannable barcodes as standard. The printer features a new ink system incorporating vacuum tension technology, which eliminates costly ink lines and fittings, according to Open Date. Ink is supplied in 200ml cartridges; almost five times the volume of competitive systems, it says. Designed to operate in harsh industrial environments, the printer uses both oil-based and solvent-based inks, for a variety

of substrates. Print speed is 4lm a minute at 180 dpi. Also making its debut on the stand is the latest development in Open Dateʼs hot foil coder range. The E-Coder is a high quality attachment, particularly suited to overprint batch and lot numbers, expiry dates, use by dates and prices onto ﬂexible materials – including ﬁlms, labels and cartons. “Hot foil coding has been around a long time, but is still used very widely and we continue to develop new, more resource friendly models,” said Gary Cowlard, UK ceo of Open Date. “The E-Coder will appeal to the budget conscious user who does not want to compromise on quality,” he added. The company will also demonstrate its range of thermal transfer printers, including the latest model, the iQ, as well as other machines in the established Thermocode series. The ink jet coder, CleanCode is available in two models and comes in both on line and hand held versions. Stand A45 www.opendate.co.uk w w w. mach i ner y u pd ate. co . u k

Controlling weigh management Marco is introducing its ʻeʼ weighing control module (ECM) as part of its factory profitability portfolio. The company claims the ECM is the only system to offer such comprehensive ʻeʼ weighing management control and has been developed to improve the overall real-time control and yield of the packing process by reducing and controlling profit sapping over filling and over packing. In parallel the module is designed to de-skill the QA aspect of compliance and ensure manufacturers of prepackaged goods consistently meet relevant legislation. The ECM can be used for any type of pre-packed goods which are sold with the familiar ʻeʼ mark ranging from manually packed produce through to high speed products such as cans, bottles and cartons.

Units answer pharma needs Newman Labelling Systems will be promoting its full range of specialised labelling machine for the pharmaceutical industry, ranging from the entry level S100 operating at speeds of 100 containers a minute through to the high speed VAL550. The Newman VAL550 has been installed around the world where its combination of high level product security and quality mechanical engineering provides accurate and reliable high speed operation up to 600 a minute, handling vials, ampoules, syringes, bottles and cartridges. Stand E73 www.newman.co.uk www. m a c hine r yup da te. c o . uk

Incorporating high precision weighing scales, the system is designed to be used off line. An email alert function can be set up to warn operational managers when any pack weight deviations occur outside preset tolerances.

These warning and action alerts are associated directly with the filling process capability, enabling operators to achieve optimum yield by taking corrective action swiftly and efficiently. The ECM software can be

set for application specific sample sizes and frequencies relating to the number of packs in defined batch lots which need to be manually checked by QA operators. Stand G8 www.marco.co.uk

labelling, coding & marking

IN BRIEF Multivac Marking & Inspection says its MR339 TQ conveyor belt labeller is a space-saving alternative for thermoformed packaging. It is used for top and bottom labelling in the high performance range, including the traysealer lines, and can label up to 200 packs a minute. So that trays or thermoformed packs can be labelled without interruption, the unit is equipped with two label dispensers from both the top and bottom respectively. They automatically switch amongst themselves when the labelling strip or the printing supplies are depleted or if a problem occurs. Compared to a cross web labeller, labelling with a conveyor belt labeller has the advantage of only one operational side for top and bottom labelling. In addition, access to the label dispensers is very easy. 01793 425800 www.multivac.co.uk Atwell Self-Adhesive Labellers has supplied Greek and live yoghurt products producer Tims Dairy with two fully automated self-adhesive labelling systems.

system consists of a band conveyor with regulated slide for boxes, Wolke double head printer, Cognex In-Sight 5400 camera with track and trace software, a panel PC and a set of pneumatic air nozzles to reject defective products. The database within the PC stores the required product settings and various camera functions as well as information required for the audit trail. “We have been delighted with the robust and reliable solutions," says Dariusz Piotrowski, technical and investment department manager at Sanofiaventis. “Production efficiency has improved with impressive levels of accuracy and we are looking at opportunities to utilise this technology within other factory sites.” 01327 856040 www.cognex.co.uk

Indelible product ID Logopak has introduced what is believed to be the world’s first laser-based print & apply labelling machine, providing high durability for tough environments such as steel making, automotive, chemicals, glass and corrugated board as well as other high or low temperature industries. The laser replaces conventional thermal transfer printers employed in print & apply labelling and allows substrates such as aluminium, steel, plastics and plastic coated paper to be indelibly printed with a unique code. Large labels, up to A3, can also be provided economically via a lens system. “Conventional paper labels are not sufficiently robust for many industries, such as steel where ingots and forged items www. m a c hine r yup da te. c o . uk

Logopak has introduced the world's first laser-based print & apply unit for tough environments

are often only identified by a stencil, which rules out bar codes for secure automatic identification,” says Logopak UK general manager Wilson Clark. Installed on a Logopak 110 label applicator in place of a thermal printer, the Logomatic laser is an ultra-compact 20W industrial unit, about 25% the size of current lasers on the market. 01904 692333 www.logopakprintandapply.co.uk

Cost effective components for food/drink Festo has launched a new generation of pneumatic actuators designed to provide a cost effective alternative to specialist high-end components for the food and drink industries. The actuators employ ‘Clean Design’ principles to minimise contamination risk, and are ideal for use in aggressive environments where frequent wash down procedures are implemented. First products in this range include corrosion-resistant round and guided cylinders that use FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) approved seals and USDA (US Department of Agriculture) approved H1 food grade lubricants. These new Clean Design cylinders are intended to help OEMs building food safe automation to overcome the apparent dichotomy between expensive custom components and non standards compliant off the shelf equipment. Festo believes there is a market for automation components that steer a clear middle road, produced using a combination of standard parts, specialist materials and the latest fabrication technologies. Festo’s new CRDSNU round cylinders and DGRF guided cylinders are the first products to embody these principles. Both product families are characterised by very smooth, corrosion-resistant body profiles that are free from protrusions, to facilitate efficient wash down and removal of any bacterial contamination. The CRDSNU stainless steel round cylinder is available in eight ISO 6432 compliant sizes. 01252 775000 www.festo.com

Photo sensor achieves complex tasks easily Leuze electronic has launched the HRTR 46B-TEACH photo sensor which in practice, is two sensors integrated into one housing to allow complex tasks such as detecting two location points. The sensor can return two independent switching signals and by doing this with only one sensor, instead of two, saves costs, space and also simplifies installation. The sensor’s scanning range is adjusted by a ‘site-sensitive’ detection method using a custom semiconductor developed by the company. This design means there are no moving parts within the sensor to make these range

The photo sensor completes complex tasks with ease

adjustments, says Mark Weymouth of Leuze. The functions of a photosensitive receiver

structure and the logical processing are combined within this single semiconductor chip. Additionally, a new patented evaluation algorithm ensures very robust behaviour, even with glossy or extremely dark objects as well as coping with light interference such as from overhead windows and flashing beacons. Detection reliability has been further increased because more evaluation signals are processed within the new sensor than previous standard models. 01480 408500 www.leuze.co.uk

Drive and controls upgrade PE film manufacturer The Britton Group has made energy savings and seen plant equipment given a new lease of life following a drive and controls upgrade by Optima Control Solutions. Specialist in variable speed drive PLC and SCADA applications, Optima upgraded the ER-WE-PA line at Britton’s Winsford site by replacing nine DC drives with the latest Parker SSD VSD control equipment, resulting in

greater reliability and reduced power consumption. The equipment’s lifetime was also extended by including an Allen-Bradley SCADA package which will provide the platform necessary to accommodate any process technology movements and will allow the integration of new control equipment with minimum disruption to Britton’s manufacturing process. “The intervention of Optima

breathed new life into an already fully depreciated asset,” says Britton’s engineering manager Tom Evers. “It was quite nerve racking initially as the machine lost approximately two tonnes in cable weight alone. “However, the project delivered with time to spare and from cold start, the tension control needed no adjustment,” he said. 01254 272827 www.optimacs.com

regulations

Low voltage complexities Most machine builders will be aware of their legal obligation to declare conformity of their machines with the Machinery Directive, but what are their obligations in relation to the Low Voltage Directive? Paul Laidler of Laidler Associates has the answers “The Declaration of conformity for machinery subject to the Machinery Directive shall not refer to the Low Voltage Directive (LVD).” For many machine builders, this statement may come as something of a surprise and some may even doubt whether it is correct. However it is a direct quote from the “Guide to Application of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC” published by the European Commission, a copy of which can be downloaded free of charge from the Commission’s website (see end of article for address). But can this statement be taken to mean that machine builders don’t have to concern themselves with the LVD? Far from it. The Guide and, indeed, the Machinery Directive itself makes it quite clear that “the safety objectives set out in Directive 73/23/EEC shall apply to machinery.” And Directive 73/23/EEC, which has recently been re-designated 2006/95/EC, is the LVD. So what the Machinery Directive actually says is that the machine has to conform with the LVD, but that no declaration to this effect should be made.

Is it logical? Whether or not this is logical is a moot point, but the real question is how should machine builders set about ensuring that their products conform to the requirements of the LVD? Fortunately, the Guide mentioned above provides a little more advice. In section 222, which relates to section 1.5.1 of the Essential Health and Safety Requirements (EHSRs) of the Machinery Directive, the Guide 78 32

notes “general specifications for the design of the electrical equipment of machinery are given in EN 60204-1: and specifications for high voltage electrical equipment of machinery are given in standard EN 60204-11”.

Compliance is key It is clear from this that compliance with the EN 60204 series of standards is the key to meeting the requirements of the LVD and hence the Machinery Directive. In practice, only very specialised machines are likely to incorporate high voltage electrical equipment, so the standard of most interest is EN 60204-1. It is very important to note, however, that this may not be the only relevant electrical standard. In fact, Section 1.5.1 of the EHSRs goes on to state, “specifications for electrical equipment are also given in many standards for specific categories of machinery”. This means that it is the responsibility of machine builders to determine which of those product standards apply to the machines they are building, and to ensure that their equipment meets the appropriate requirements. At this point, it is worth sounding a note of caution. Many electrical engineers are used to referring to and relying on the 17th Edition of the IET Wiring Regulations (BS7671) for guidance in their work. The IET Wiring Regulations are NOT, however, applicable to machines, so those who work on machines must look elsewhere for guidance. Consideration of the standards for specific types of machines is

M ACH INERY U P D AT E: S E P T E M BER/OCTOBER 2011

Remedial work after a machine has been built is always more costly than getting the design right in the first place

beyond the scope of this short article, but it is useful to look in general terms at the EN 60204-1 standard, to give machine builders an indication of the sorts of things they need to consider in relation to the electrical design and construction of their products.

Wide ranging As might be expected, the standard is very wide ranging. Its principal sections deal with supply conductor terminations and disconnection/isolation devices; protection against electric shock; protection of equipment; equipotential bonding; control circuit and control functions; operator interfaces and machine-mounted control devices; control gear location, mounting and enclosures; conductors and cables; wiring practices; electric motors and associated

equipment; accessories and lighting; and marking, warning signs and reference designations. The scope of the standard is not, however, limited to the equipment itself, since it also covers technical documentation and verification/testing. From this brief overview of the scope of EN 60204-1, it can readily be seen that ensuring compliance requires considerable specialist expertise and often involves a lot of work! For these reasons, many machine builders prefer to call on support from an expert consultant, such as Laidler Associates, to assess the electrical equipment on their machines. Using a consultant can save a lot of time and money but, if those savings are to be maximised, it is a very good idea to involve the consultant at the earliest possible stage of the machine design process, as this will allow them to provide advice to ensure that potential problems are designed out rather than built in. Remedial work after a machine has been built is always more costly than getting the design right in the first place. http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sec tors/mechanical/

EAGLE Formerly Smiths Detection PID

Eagle Product Inspection X-ray

The Vision To See Beyond Detection EAGLE Product Inspection X-ray systems are a real force of nature! Each system instinctively focuses on the heart of each product, evaluating and identifying hazardous contaminants such as metal, glass, stone and bone.

Our world-class X-ray inspection systems deliver much more than contaminant detection, much more - checkweighing, compartmental fill level evaluation, even fat analysis providing the benefits to increase productivity and reduce potential contamination or product loss due to nonconforming processes.

See why EAGLE will not just survive, it will thrive in your environment...
