PALL, ANTON PAAR, SIEMENS, FESTO, SPIRAX SARCO are the typical components our Customers will find on Their plants.

The choice of providing only state-of-the-art solutions has brought us to be appointed as officially authorized integrator by ALFA LAVAL. Between main technical references, WS can list the supply of two fruit juice tubular flash pasteurizers for aseptic filling to ORANGINA-SCHWEPPES in France; furthermore, it’s significant to point out that WS is included in NESTLÉ WATERS’ authorized suppliers list for water purification systems: recently an important contract for the supply of a top-technology water treatment plant in the far East has been finalized.

BEVERAGE INDUSTRY

Amongst last supplies (early 2016), WS also boasts a complete line for soft drinks production in Las Vegas – USA (Coca Cola co-packer): from water treatment to hot fill pasteurizer, through sugar syrup preparation and ingredients mixing, also including CIP equipment.

WS considers Customer Service one of the greatest keys to success: entire business, marketing, sales and profits depend on customers’ satisfaction so the after sales team is constantly trained to perform the simplest solution in the shortest possible time to support the customer’s business.

“BLENDSYSTEM M” Premix Unit The growing market’s confidence gained by process plants manufactured by WS, allowed a continuous development of blending technology for carbonated soft drinks (CSD) production to such an extent that We reached a very high level of specialisation in manufacturing mass controlled blending systems, named BLENDSYSTEM M.

BLENDSYSTEM M is a piece of equipment for preparing beverages, completely preassembled on a skid for an easy and quick shipment and installation, conceived mostly for the production of carbonated soft drinks (CSD), but also carbonated mineral water (CMW) and still water (charged with nitrogen in order to increase the mechanical resistance of the bottle). The required quantity of ingredients (water, syrup, and CO2) is carefully measured and dosed in an electronically controlled continuous process.

The whole system, realized to guarantee the highest qualitative standards and a qualitatively constant production, also running in conditions of considerable format change, is completely preassembled on stainless steel circular-section skid for an easy and efficacious cleaning. It usually includes the following subsystems: • inlet water deaeration: a vacuum pump removes incondensable gases; the pump is conceived to maintain the dissolved oxygen level below 1 ppm values; • carbon dioxide dosing (or nitrogen in case of still mineral water production): a modulating valve and a mass flow rate transmitter inject carbon dioxide in quantity that is proportional to water quantity loaded to the deaeration tank; the water flow rate is usually measured by a magnetic flow rate transmitter, which may be replaced with a mass flow rate transmitter in case water presents a very low electrical conductivity level. A special gas injecting and mixing system - specifically developed by WS -

• performs a careful mixing with the water to be treated and, hence, best results in terms of product perlage; the carbon dioxide contents is maintained constant in the product receiving tank by a supervising software, which checks possible fluctuations in feeding water temperature and product buffer temperature; the effective dissolved carbon dioxide contents in the product is checked using a carbometric unit, installed in by-pass on the filling machine feeding line; • syrup dosing and mixing: at first syrup is stored in a small buffer tank, whose atmosphere is modified and enriched with carbon dioxide in order to avoid oxidation occurrence. Syrup injection is made by a sanitary design modulating valve and a mass flow rate transmitter in a quantity which is proportional to the water amount fed from the deaeration tank; furthermore, using the mass flow rate transmitter, it is possible to check constantly the effective density of the inlet syrup and therefore to compensate immediately for the dosing and to stabilize the sugary concentration in the end-product within established bounds (usually ±0,05 °Bx). A specific refractometer installed in by-pass on the filling machine feeding line, allows the constant

check of the product and, if necessary, its adjustment; similarly, the instruments minimize waste of both syrup and product during transitory phases of production, such as start and stop.

Furthermore, customized solutions for product cooling are also available, depending on the environmental conditions of the system installation.

The supervising software loaded on the mass premix unit BLENDSYSTEM M - is conceived to guarantee the best results in terms of dosing, offering at the same time an easy control by a friendly user interface; this software enables on one hand to set the main production parameters and visualize their state graphically and on the other hand to set the statistics parameters (ca, cp e cpk) connected to that kind of production.

Using a more advanced version of this software, associated with specific instruments, it is also possible to control automatically saccharose inversion, so that the need of intervention by laboratory technicians is reduced.

The equipment is equipped with field buses (MPI, Profibus or Ethernet) for a complete integration in the bottling line and the control of production, cleaning and sanitizing processes.

The main utilization fields of the company machineries are: • dairy industries (milk, cream, cheese, yogurt, caseinates, proteins, soya milk, etc.); • ice-cream industries; • food, processing, preserving and beverage industries (fruit juices, tomato sauces, oil, ketchup, eggs, vegetable greases, emulsions, concentrates, baby food, etc.); • cosmetic, pharmaceutical, chemical and petrol-chemical industries (starch, cellulose, wax, colorants, beauty creams, tooth paste, detergents, disinfectants, emulsions, inks, latex, lotions, emulsifiers oils, pigments, proteins, resins, vitamins, etc.).

But what about the homogenizing principle?

In order to permanently mix one or more substances in a liquid, a homogenizer must be used in such a way as to make it possible to micronize and disperse the suspended particles in the fluid, rendering it highly stable even during successive treatments and storage.

ASIATIC EDITION 2017/2018

The product reaches the homogenizing valve at a low speed and at high pressure.

As it passes through the valve, it is subject to various forces that cause the micronization of the particles: violent acceleration followed by immediate deceleration causes cavitation with explosion of the globules, intense turbulence together with high-frequency vibrations, impact deriving from the laminar passage between the homogenizing valve surfaces and consequent collision with impact ring.

Homogenization can occur with the use of a single stage homogenizing valve (suitable for dispersion treatment), or double stage homogenizing valve (recommended for use with emulsions and for viscosity control when requested).

FBF Italia’s range of machines can be commonly classified as follows: • high pressure homogenizers: The homogenizer is often necessary to mix one or more substances within a liquid. This

All packers of the LSK, CSK, SK and AFW series have capitalised on the many different innovations introduced by the ERGON platform, such as an ergonomic machine design, slightly rounded sliding doors, motors mounted on the machine’s external edges, easy access for maintenance interventions.

SMI’s new secondary packaging machines are equipped almost exclusively with brush-less motors whereas traditional motors are installed only on the shrink tunnel and on the cardboard climb; this solution ensures higher efficiency and precision of movements and low energy consumption.

Furthermore, the ERGON packers are equipped with a POSYC control panel incorporating a user-friendly man-machine interface with touchscreen display and advanced functions of diagnostics and real-time technical support.

The new shrink tunnels boast cutting-edge technical solutions ensuring energy savings, top environmental compatibility of production processes and high quality of the pack manufactured.

At the shrink tunnel outlet, a conveyor connects the tunnel belt to the conveyor system of the production line, ensuring a proper thermal transition of the pack thanks to a ventilation device.

Complete solutions for every bottling & packaging need SMI designs and manufactures complete bottling & packaging systems, chiefly destined to the food & beverage industry, but also for the detergent, personal hygiene and chemical/ pharmaceutical product sectors.

The turn-key lines proposed by SMI are the ideal solution for output needs from 3,600 to 33,600 bottles per hour also requiring high efficiency, broad operating flexibility, low energy consumption and a good quality/price ratio and are suitable for any need, based on the innovative principles of Industry 4.0 for the realization of the so called “intelligent factory”.

The range of turnkey systems proposed by SMI includes costsaving and compact lines as well as full optional and complex solutions, with a wide array of intermediate products that can satisfy customers’ current and future requirements in terms of output rate, product to be packaged, process automation and facility size.

When SMI technicians design new projects, they gather the most recent technology available within the industrial automation sector, so they can intensify integration between the working, management and control systems of the numerous “intelligent” devices that work on the production line.

Among the automation and control solutions for the production line, SMI has developed SWM supervisor. SWM Supervisor is based on an open and flexible modular enterprise web portal, that fits any application environment. SMI customers can use this innovative system to easily identify the main causes of “downtime” on their bottling/packaging lines, achieve greater overall efficiency and reduce the time required for system maintenance and format changes.

New blow-moulder EBS K ERGON: SMI solution devoted to Industry 4.0 At Interpack 2017, SMI exhibited the world premiere of the new compact blow-moulder EBS K ERGON in ECOBLOC® version as well as an electronic volumetric filler. A new important step in the “new age of bottling” focused on Industry 4.0.

Since 1987, SMI has been developing cutting-edge projects and technologies, in order to offer turn-key bottling lines and flexible, ergonomic, efficient packaging machines, increasingly inspired by the concepts of Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things (IoT).

Based on the technical innovations of the stretch blow-moulders of the EBS ERGON series (Electronic Blowing System), SMI engineers have developed a new series of very compact rotary machines, called EBS K ERGON (“K” refers to the German word “Kompakt”), suitable for outputs up to 8.800 bottle/hour. The new models, available in 2-, 3- and 4-cavity versions, offer all advantages of the rotary technology, with an output range traditionally controlled by linear blow-moulders (from 3-4.000 to 8-9.000 bottle/hour); thanks to the state-of-the-art solutions, the EBS K ERGON series can produce PET containers up to 3 litres with a maximum output of 2200 bottle/hour per cavity for the 0,5-liter format.

A market-oriented and flexible organization In a global market where competition is getting fiercer and fiercer, the possibility to guarantee a “next door” service is for SMI a key factor to effectively and successfully support customers wherever they are. Thus, over the years SMI has set up a widespread network of branches and representative offices in order to extend the service to the widest number of clients.

In the Asian continent, SMI operates through two wholly-owned subsidiary companies: SMI Asia Services Sdn Bhd based in Malaysia and SMI Machinery Beijing Co.

Supercap Srl

Supercap Srl, Italian business with twentyyear experience in the bottle closure sector, has always developed a close cooperation with its customers paying maximum attention not only to final products, but also to functional cutting-edge technologies involved in packaging development.

At the beginning, Supercap addressed its production to wine closure manufacture and divided its production of wine caps into four main categories, such as: Supercap Swift, Evolution, Select and Supercap C for sparkling wines. This production was soon extended with T Caps closures, known as closures for spirits, oil, vinegar, and perfumes.

The company develops T-Cap closures focusing on both total respect for the products and personalization, thus allowing customers to create closures of different materials, such as aluminum, plastic and wood.

Thanks to Research & Development activity, which can be identified as Supercap’s creative core, the company can deeply understand and know its products, and create new cutting-edge technologies, generating closures featuring unique, functional and modern design, for a type of packaging whose every finest detail makes the difference.

In latest years, Supercap has created new products and materials that have revolutionized the market of closures. Coinjected T-Cap closures have been some of the first to be created by Supercap, which has been the first to produce co-injected closures with wood and metal tops.

The peculiarity of this new technology lays in its mechanics for the body being directly injected in the upper part of the closure grants that the product remains unchanged and compact, preventing the head-body splitting, especially when uncorking.

Further Supercap’s news is the Pourer No Refill Tec, result of extensive research and in-depth tests. What distinguishes it is a ball mechanism inside the body that

ASIATIC EDITION 2017/2018

performs double function: from the one hand, it enables to pour the content finely, and from the other hand, it prevents filling the container with a different liquid, and avoids counterfeit.

Alike other Supercap closures, it is available in the following three versions: Basic, Deluxe, and Crystal; this will result in a closure that really makes the difference in terms of quality and innovation.

Closures made in the innovative material called Nature are further innovation presented by this company. To the sight and touch, this material conveys the same features of cork. Nature closures can be part of the Wine Caps and T- Caps lines.

Nature is glue-free and composed of micro-granules mixed with thermoplastic materials.

Its particular glue-free structure avoids dangerous substances from migrating into the wine or distillate inside the bottle. Its structure is that sturdy that prevents any crumbling at the moment of uncorking.

Supercap, in cooperation with important Italian universities, is also carrying out laboratory tests on Nature closures and compared them with other micro-granule closures.

By improving its production systems and adopting renewable energy sources, Supercap has successfully reduced its consumption, which - in combination with a raw material deriving from natural polyethylene – has created the first Zero Carbon Footprint T- Cap: Supercap ECO®, which features BIObased technology, characterized by renewable polymers of vegetable origin deriving from sugar cane.

Supercap’s sustainable approach grounds on the lifecycle of sugar cane, which absorbs a higher amount of CO2 during the photosynthesis than the one released during the whole production process, thus the value of carbon dioxide drops negative.

The quality and safety of all products “Made in Supercap” are ISO 22000 and BRC - Global Standard for Packaging & Packaging Materials certified, which are the most advanced and strictly controlled standards in the world.

VLS Technologies: the technological partner for the filtration of liquids The markets of wine, beer, spirits, juices and soft drinks are constantly evolving, and the technological solutions adopted for the filtration of liquids require continuous processes of growth aimed at researching, developing and innovating.

VLS Technologies is a leading company in the market of the solutions for the filtration of liquids, capable not only of providing technologies for filtration in that specific field, but also of designing and developing customized solutions based on individual needs, new products, new markets.

VLS Technologies represents worldwide a single reference point for the client for both the aspect of filtration and more complex needs that involve the whole process of liquid treatment: that is made possible by the production plant in San Zenone degli Ezzelini in the province of Treviso, northeast Italy, as well as by an established worldwide network of agents, authorized reselling and assistance.

Via San Lorenzo, 42 - 31020 San Zenone degli Ezzelini (Treviso) Italy Tel. +39 0423 96 89 66 info@veloacciai.com - www.vlstechnologies.it

The partnership with the client is based on a definitely advisory-oriented approach: an in-depth knowledge of the processes for liquid treatment is a key requirement in order to offer expert advice in the field. Even if it is just about a single machinery that is going to be part of a more complex system.

Also design and production are “bespoke” activities based on the client’s needs, realizing customized solutions starting from the analysis of the requirements and characteristics of each single company.

Applications can be traditional, as sheet filters or pressure leaf filters, or innovative, as cross-flow filtration systems and reverse osmosis. Innovative technologies guarantee a number of advantages. For example, in cross-flow filtration the liquid is pushed by means of pressure through the particular pores of a membrane: thanks to this system the clients are able to improve the obtained quantity of product, decreasing energy consumption and production costs, for example avoiding the usage of clarifiers and adjuvants.

In recent years, VLS Technologies has produced also “exclusive” solutions destined to particular uses or types of clients. Among those Unico filter, a solution designed for small/medium manufacturers who need to filter their products (wines and lees) with a single solution, obtaining a filtered product of excellent quality with

ASIATIC EDITION 2017/2018

a turbidity below 1 NTU. That is why VLS Technologies has created Unico filtration system: thanks to its filter, it becomes possible getting a good filtration of the product and reducing the microbiological flora; all of this by saving all the organoleptic characteristics of the product. Its filtering media can stand repeated regenerations with warm water and detergents: this means a longer lifespan. Unico has recently won the “Innovation Challenge Lucio Mastroberardino” at SIMEI Drinktec 2017.

Another widely appreciated technology, winner of the New Technology Award at SIMEI 2015, is “Lees-stop”, a solution meant for filtering products with high content in solids that replaces the traditional polymeric membranes of the cross flow filters with sinterized stainless steel membranes. Thanks to several tests, VLS Technologies has verified that this kind of material perfectly fits the cross flow filtration of “difficult” products with about 70% of content in solids.

The added value is focused on the capacity to attentively listen to the client, and subsequently to act effectively and quickly: VLS Technologies, also thanks to its 35-year experience in the market, can guarantee a dynamic and flexible approach, realizing long-term partnerships with both medium and small production companies as well as with major brands worldwide. www.vlstechnologies.it
