REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT FOR FOOD STORAGE AND FOR INDUSTRIAL PURPOSES

I

n the space of just 10 years the Italian-based cooling devices manufacturer Zanotti group has more than doubled annual profits, thanks to a successful business plan which was introduced right after the company’s privatisation in 2002. Today the group is ready to exploit the full potential of new markets by extending its international influence as a global player. The Zanotti group designs, develops, manufactures and tests refrigeration equipment for food storage and for industrial purposes, including cooling devices for transporting foodstuff. As a world

ZANOTTI FP 5/13.indd 3

leader in the production of air treatment and cooling solutions, the Italian company puts its success down to a number of key factors, including technological improvement and the introduction of customisable solutions for the needs of each customer. One of the company’s key tactics has been to find the best practical application for our cooling devices. It is very important in the refrigeration sector to meet the particular needs of each customer, and, since we mainly work with food makers, this principle is even more important for our company. Technological research is another strong points.

With over 50 years of specialist experience, ZANOTTI is proud to say that its know-how is reflected in products and everything Zanotti produces. The firm was founded as a familyowned company in 1962. From the very beginning the group has developed its potential as a leader in the field of refrigeration, by introducing new and revolutionary solutions such as, for example, the so-called ‘uniblock’ – a completely self-contained and ready-to-use cooling device for small environments. The company soon began to specialise in the production of domestic and non-domestic refrigeration devices

29/11/13 10.47

FOCUS ON FOOD TECHNOLOGIES

for food preservation, and in the meantime its refrigerating systems became bigger and bigger so as to meet the increasing demand of industries. During the 1990s, this trend led to the creation of big multicompressor plants to meet the needs of large-scale retail trade. In the same period, Zanotti also introduced a new line of products for transports – the so-called ‘transblock’. In the past tenth years, the Italian company has seen enormous growth. Today it employs 650 people distributed over eight plants located all around the world. Many things have changed since 2000. Zanotti has become a public company, and the new management has introduced a revolutionary business plan. Thanks to this new plan, the company’s development process has accelerated: for instance, in 2002 our annual turnover was only €30 million, but in 2012 it had reached € 106 million.

Fixed and transport devices It is particularly important for the Zanotti group to offer its customers only the best solutions in terms of quality. That’s way the company has been certified according to the ISO 9001 standard since 1996. Moreover, every single product manufactured by Zanotti in each part of the world is certified according to local parameters for quality, such as the CE parameters in the European countries and the UL parameters in

ZANOTTI FP 5/13.indd 4

the US. Under the name of KING of COLD, Zanotti produces and develops refrigerating units to cover the needs of small, medium and large-sized cooling necessities, as well as transport refrigeration. The cooling devices made by the Italian company can be subdivided

The key factor is investing in research that’s because in this sector it’s not important how powerful or well-balanced the cooling device is, but how much the device meets the customer’s requirements. In more than 50 years of activity Zanotti has developed a sort of ‘applied knowhow’ for its products. This has only

into two categories: fixed and transport devices. The first category includes uniblocks, multicompressor plants, condensing units, racks and refrigeration devices for food preservation, while the other category includes diesel uniblocks, battery drive split units and others especially designed for trailer devices for the medium to long distance transportation of food. Up to 10 years ago Zanotti only manufactured fixed devices; then Zanotti decided it was time to diversify and started to make transport devices as well. In hindsight, the decision was very wise. Today, in fact, the two lines of production are equally important for the group, since their growth rate is just the same. Moreover, transport devices were the natural completion of what we call ‘the chain of cold’, which includes all kinds of cooling devices from the initial storage process to the final transport itself. Zanotti is proud to give its customers the possibility to choose the cooling devices that mostly meet their needs. And this is definitely its most exclusive feature. So, customer care is an essential feature to Zanotti.

been made possible by the continuous investments in research and development. The R&D Department is big and well-organised and takes care of company’s applied technological improvement. Companies from the Zanotti Group are designing and manufacturing systems for ice rinks, such as the ones in Courmayeur, Italy or in the Arena of Minsk, Belarus.

An international concern Zanotti’s plants are not only located in Italy. Apart from our two plants in Italy, which include the head office, Zanotti has a very important facility in Germany and a number of new plants located all around the world. More precisely, in the past two years Zanotti has built four new production plants owing to the fact that the output has increased a lot since 2002. The plants are located in the UK, in Spain, in China and in Brazil. This is just the production sites; the international sales network is much wider. In fact, Zanotti’s sales chain covers something like 70 countries worldwide. Zanotti is currently exporting 86 per cent of its production,

29/11/13 10.47

FOCUS ON FOOD TECHNOLOGIES

which means that foreign markets are fundamental to the company economic growth. The presence in the European markets is strong, since Zanotti has sales points almost everywhere in Europe.

Green alternative to traditional refrigeration system The know-how Zanotti acquired over 50 years also concerns the environmental aspects involved since the products are developed to provide low energy consumptions and reduced noise levels; as to meet the current technological trends that aim to contain greenhouse gas emissions. In compliance with the international standards on global warning, as the Protocol stipulated in the Japanese city of Kyoto on December 11, 1997, by more than 180 countries at the COP3 conference of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Changes (UNFCCC) and which became effective in 2005, Zanotti implemented major changes to the manufacture its products. Currently, Zanotti produces units operating with ecological gases such as

propane, propylene, ammonia and CO2. These units are widely used in all sectors of the food industry. Zanotti will continue to invest large sums of money every year to research new technologies that can reduce the amount of harmful emissions released into the atmosphere. Under the energy saving concept, was created the BESTCOPÂŽ technology. It is applied on the motorized condensing units that are manufactured by Zanotti to improve the efficiency and energy consumption levels of the cooling equipment. This basically can be translated into energy savings (from 15 to 20% depending on the different environmental conditions). Zanotti Spa developed the first Italian magnetic cooling at room temperature prototype, the only one of its kind worldwide, in collaboration with the TEC division of the Mechanical Engineering, Energetic, Production, Transportation and Mathematical Models Dept. (DIME) of the University of Genoa. This enabled Zanotti to acquire the basic elements needed to achieve this technology and to apply it by im-

plementing a one of a kind cooling unit. This innovative achievement represents the foundation for the potential engineering development of the product in the future; always seeking better performances and applications that are competitive on the market. The attention devoted to customers and the flexibility of the products are essential characteristics for Zanotti: investing in Research and Development to better meet customer demand by providing more convenient solutions in terms of energy savings and reliability of use is a priority.

rport and increase daily production to total 260,000 meals that will be distributed on board Emirates flights for Economy, Business and First Class. This will become the biggest and most modern structure of this kind worldwide and, therefore requires highly reliable systems, top-notch final touches and strict hygienic conditions with regards to the equipment. The German company IO-Consultants designed the layout of the facilities, which stretches over an area of about 68,000 square meters, and Zanotti will supply the whole refrigeration system on turnkey basis. The extensiveness of the work that needs to be implemented

for the refrigeration system includes: 103 cold rooms, 100 blast chillers, 16 ice makers for a capacity of 32,000 kg a day, one spiral chiller and plenty of other appliances. ZANOTTI Spa will need about 2 years for the design and implementation of this system that will become operative in 2016 to cope with the needs of logistic support of the increasing number of new aircrafts, including Airbus A380. ZANOTTI Spa is very proud to have won this contract and to have been chosen out of the best global competitors. This affirms it’s a reliable company that is able to provide suitable guarantees to guarantees to a giant like Emirates Airlines.

y introducing “components for processing and packaging”, Messe Düsseldorf is extending its offering in relation to interpack 2014. The event is taking place from 8 to 10 May 2014 during the first three days of the world’s most important trade fair for the packaging sector and related processing industries. The venue is Düsseldorf’s City Hall (Stadthalle) in the Congress Center South (CCD Süd) at the Düsseldorf exhibition grounds. The trade fair is targeted at companies specialising in motors and drive technology, control and sensor technology, products for machine vision, handling technology, industrial software and communication, and complete automation systems for packaging machines. It is also directed at manufacturers of machine parts, components, accessories and peripheral equipment and of components and auxiliaries for packaging means. “‘components for processing and packaging’ is extending the breadth of the offering flanking interpack ti include the supplier side. Although supplier companies may not exhibit at interpack itself under the fair’s eligibility criteria, they can now benefit from the unique exhibitor diversity of interpack as the leading international fair. Conversely, exhibitors at interpack only need to take a short walk to find out about their suppliers’ products and services,” explains Bernd Jablonowski, Director interpack. The idea of bringing interpack exhibitors and their suppliers together by introducing “components for processing and packaging”, an event aimed exclusively at the packaging and processing industry, was expressly welcomed by interpack’s Advisory Council. This body consists of leading companies of the sector and the most important German associations for all exhibit categories at the flagship fair. To make participation as easy as possible for exhibitors at “components for processing and packaging”, stands are being offered in complete packages comprising stand construction, furnishings and power consumption in sizes of 9, 12 and 18 square metres. Exhibitors at and visitors to interpack and “components for processing and packaging” can visit both fairs without having to buy a separate ticket. Interested companies can register as of now at www.packagingcomponents.com. The allocation of exhibitor placements for “components for processing and packaging” started on 1 October 2013.

PACKO SOLVES CURD FINES PROBLEM WITH NEWLY DEVELOPED PUMP In the complex process of making cheese, excess curd fines are one of the causes which can decrease the quality and yield of the cheese. Often these curd fines are formed whilst pumping the curd at too high speeds.

P

acko was contacted by a Swiss cheese dairy about this problem and could offer a solution by developing a new centrifugal pump. The new centrifugal pump has a volute pump casing and a special closed impeller and is pumping the curd without any damage. The convincing results: an improved quality of the rounds of cheese and higher profits for the cheese dairy.

PUMP TYPES The pumping of curd is mostly executed with rotary lobe pumps or centrifugal pumps. Rotary lobe pumps have the advantage that they turn slowly and damage very little. Their disadvantage is that they are fairly expensive, (especially for high flows, higher than 50 m続/h) and moreover they need a separate CIP pump (CIP = cleaning in place). The centrifugal pumps that are used until now mostly have a

PAKO INOX FP 5/13.indd 3

semi-open recessed impeller with straight blades and the pump casing is completely round (Figure 1). This vortex type of impeller is considered to be the best for pumping curd because it is assumed that the liquid is not passing through the impeller and hence the curd is not coming in contact with the impeller. Packo has investigated the flow and behavior of liquids inside pumps

with CFD (Computational fluid dynamics). In this study diverse impeller types and pump casing geometries were visualized through CFD. In this article the results of the 2 pump types are compared. The first one is the pump described earlier (fig. 1). This is the pump type that was also used at the Swiss cheese dairy. The second is a centrifugal pump with volute and special closed impeller

28/11/13 11.58

FOCUS ON FOOD TECHNOLOGIES

(fig. 2). Both pumps have the same duty point: 60m³/h on 6 m head. Figures 3 and 4 show the velocities inside both pumps. Figure 3 shows that the velocities in the pump with recessed impeller and round pump casing are much higher than the pump with closed impeller and volute (fig. 4). The red zones are velocities higher than 15 m/s and the blue areas are dead zones where the fluid is nearly standing still. These high differences in velocity create high turbulence and loss of efficiency, which is a major contributor to the creation of “cheese fines”. The Packo-pump in figure 4 shows no red or yellow zones and even no blue areas. The velocities in the impeller and the pump casing are much lower and there are no dead areas. This results in less turbulence and a much higher efficiency, significantly reducing the potential to damage the curd.

PRACTICAL TEST Packo supplied one of the new pumps for testing in the installation. The results and parameters were accurately monitored during a two month trial period and followed up so that every round of cheese could be assigned to a determined production. The result was exactly the same as the calculations predicted in the study. The pumping of the curd with the new design pump proved to be much steadier than with the vortex pump: no vibrations or pump sounds were

found. No curd fines were visible anymore and that has improved the quality of the rounds of cheese substantially. Mission accomplished!

INDUSTRIE PLASTICHE LOMBARDE IPL S.p.A. will open in Spring 2014 a new Manufacturing Plant in Völkermarkt, in the Austrian Region of Carinthia, on a covered area of 4300 mq. The new plant will have an initial production capacity of 389 tones/year and a total capacity of 1015 tones/ year at the end of June 2015, when the initial phase of development will be completed. The factory will be dedicated to the production of hose and tubing in Silicone, Fluoropolymers and Bioplastics and will serve the biopharmaceutical and food processing industries.

dence of the company’s thorough and targeted managerial policy, which aims to have a team of professional people whose main target is offering their customers reliable, accurate and efficient solutions. The company’s technological commitment can be found in a machine called Duett, which is the first dualvision sorting machine for fresh salads proposed by Protec; it enables examining produce on either sides, indicating defects or foreign

bodies. In addition to this, some cameras and an exclusive visual and fluorescent lighting system allows identifying the chlorophyll that all vegetables usually have. Polluting agents, such as plastic, paper, cardboard and insects as well, can be easily kept apart. The particular configuration of the inclined conveyor belt enables separating defective produce by means of air jets. The visual system makes use of the most up-to-date electro-

nic technology and exclusive software for processing images. Duett can be easily put in production lines because not only is it waterproof but also resistant to the usual cleansing sanification products. Protec has always focused on technological innovation and the investments of the past years have enabled the company’s team of engineers and designers to perfect this new technology at one of the most important European producers of IV range produce. To this regard, it is worth of special mention the fact that in addition to being a leading company on the market, Protec is also leader in tomato sorting, and in the past years it has developed high technology for IV range products, such as ready salads, corn, peas, and more. In addition to tomatoes, it is now possible to sort whole fruit, tomato and fruit pulp, extrusions, purees, jams, leaf vegetables (fresh or dehydrated), legumes, diced fruit and potatoes (in almost every form). As a result, a simple product such as a tin of peas or a pot of jam, which people buy everyday, embodies a high-level technology aimed at achieving the highest quality, the one that Protec has always targeted UVA. Protec is happy to present the X-TRI line, optical ari-jet sorter for winemaking grapes. The development is the result of efficient investment. Protec, a company which has been active since

Belt elevators may be needed to connect between different levels. How x-tri functions: the fruit exiting the destemmer is distributed on the vibrating mat, in preparation for feeding the optical unit. The optical sensor recognises the different defects (stalks, leaves, leaf stems, insects and foreign matter) and expels them using a jet of air. The good produce is discharged directly for subsequent processing

into the pressing unit. The optical system also makes it possible to recognise less ripe fruit (having a different colour), which can also be expelled along with the other defects. The defects to be rejected can be programmed using a touch screen. The x-tri line can handle up to approximately 15 t/hr of grapes. The capacity depends on a number of factors, such as the type of grape, the degree of ripeness, the number of defects, etc. For more information, please to contact: Mr. Rocco Sandei (sales manager) r.sandei@ protec-italy.com

The integrated process control system specifically for your industry The SIMATIC PCS 7 and the dairyspecific software concept let you carry out all the standard functions of dairy operations efficiently and throughout the complete process.

Safe material transfer The Process Line Manager works on a job-specific basis. Therefore, this manager ensures that material transfers reach their goals safely and at the correct quality level. The individual jobs - recirculation, heating/ cooling or mixing, for example - can

be entered manually or run automatically using the SIMATIC PCS 7 recipe archive or a host system. In order to ensure a reliable process, an internal plausibility check is carried out before the start of the job (1.) with the Tank Manager for the source and target tank, (2.) with the Pipe Module and optionally (3.) with the Route Control System. If the Process Line Manager receives the go-ahead, it assigns a unique batch ID for all tanks and valves that are involved (to ensure efficient product traceability) and transfers all order-related data to the archive manager. These procedures conducted by the Process Line Manager ensure the process is reliable and provides support for efficient tracing. Reliable tank management The Tank Manager module of SIMATIC PCS 7 with Dairy Functional Toolset works closely with the Process Line Manager and our SIMATIC IT Unilab laboratory information mana-

gement system. Together they monitor all the specifics relating to tanks and mixers – physical parameters, contents, all releases,relevant status information And CIP requirements. Traceable material movements The Archive Manager for SIMATIC PCS 7 with Dairy Functional Toolset records each individual material movement within the systems. When a transfer begins, all relevant information about the source - starting time, quantity reference value or destination - is stored in the user archive. At the end, the finishing time, quantity required and status are also stored. The process visualization allows monitoring and tracking of the corresponding material movements at all times. Host IT systems can also use the interfaces of SIMATIC PCS 7 to access this data. The same quality worldwide If you want to bring innovative products to the market more quickly, then you must ensure consistent product specifications worldwide and at all times. The Interspec module acts as a complete product specification database for the company as a whole and creates ideal prerequisites for intelligent Product Lifecycle Management. It also enables product specifications to be exchanged and standardized on a global basis.

CAP REFORM: DAIRY INDUSTRY FAVOURS INTERVENTION PURCHASING SYSTEM AS PART OF AN EFFECTIVE AND COST NEUTRAL SAFETY NET

In view of the current ‘trilogue’ discussions, the European dairy industry puts forward an effective safety net as an alternative to any form of supply management. This safety net should primarily operate through an intervention purchasing system, which has already proved itself to be effective and cost neutral to the EU budget in the past. EDA urges therefore the negotiators in the trilogue to make the appropriate modifications to the safety net to make this a viable measure against extreme price volatility.

O

n several occasions, the European Dairy Association (EDA) has voiced serious concerns about proposals for supply management in times of crisis by the EU in the dairy sector. The European dairy industry is not in favour of such measures for a number of reasons: first of all, it will not result in the desired price effect and second, it would primarily assist other, non-European, countries to profit from the growth in world market demand. There are also important concerns with regards to the efficiency, competitiveness, investment, budget, timeliness and administration of such a system. Yet freely operating markets are inherently volatile, and can cause needless destruction to productive potential. As there are no valuable private sector solutions in place yet, the EU should play a continued role in market management until these solutions become available.

EDA FP 3/13.indd 3

EDA is of the opinion that the provision of an effective safety net, primarily through the operation of an intervention purchasing system, would be a more effective means of addressing price volatility than supply management. Intervention purchasing has proven to be effective in 2009 in placing a floor in the market. It has also shown itself to be cost neutral to the EU budget. Concretely, the European dairy industry is asking policy makers to, as a part of the CAP reform, expand

and modify rules governing the use of intervention to: › Ensure that support prices can be adjusted to take into account relevant factors › Reassure the market that intervention will not be exploited to create artificially high support prices. This system would not prejudice the ability of the Commission to take action in response to emergency situations. Also, an appropriate intervention support price for the future would need to be determined by the Commission via exhaustive econometric analysis. “We feel that supporting and strengthening the safety net will equip the EU with a cost effective instrument for addressing price volatility whilst still giving all stakeholders confidence to expand and take advantage of the growing global demand for high quality dairy products,” concludes Joop Kleibeuker, SecretaryGeneral of EDA.

GEA HIGHLIGHTS FREEZING SYSTEMS AT PROCESS EXPO 2013 GEA Refrigeration North America at PROCESS EXPO 2013, at McCormick Place in Chicago, November 3-6, Booth 5331 (North Hall, Level 3)

E

xperts for freezing solutions from GEA Refrigeration North America will be on hand at PROCESS EXPO 2013 to discuss the advantages of carton, spiral, tunnel, and impingement freezer solutions for applications in the food and beverage industry. In addition, other GEA professionals will be available to introduce visitors to the company’s broader product line – including ice systems, chillers, screw and piston compressors, compressor packages, custom-engineered systems, controls, and more. One of the most exciting trends is faster freezing for increased product quality. If the surface of the product is frozen very quickly, moisture is captured inside. In addition, fast freezing avoids formation of large ice crystals, whereas slowly frozen foods lose more moisture while thawing. These are

the reasons why GEA Refrigeration Technologies has improved its impingement technology. The result: GEA HVF (high-velocity freezer) with its advanced nozzle design. It can quickly and efficiently freeze hamburger patties, thin fish fillets, shrimp, and other flat products. In addition to freezing the whole product, such impingement freezers are likewise used for crust freezing. In such cases, it is not critical to assure a deep-frozen product core – a hard frozen surface, instead, is essential here, since it is beneficial for slicing meat. In many applications, versatility plays a key role: e.g., for freezing various ready meals, packed foods, etc. It is beneficial to operate a freezer that varies its retention time depending on product characteristics and weights – e.g., implemented in the form of GEA I-VRT carton freezers. These freezers

High-velocity freezers (HVF) from GEA enable freezing of flat food products faster than with conventional impingement freezers.

GEA FP 5/13.indd 3

apply variable retention times to achieve high quality in the freezing process without wasting time and energy. Another versatile solution is the GEA Maxi-Stack spiral freezer. It offers special benefits when a greater throughput of frozen products is desired on a given footprint – or when compact equipment dimensions are specified as criteria for the production floor. For more details about these freezers, please see the following pages of our press release.

Faster freezing of flat food products

High-velocity freezers (HVF) from GEA Refrigeration Technologies, based on impingement technology, enable the freezing of hamburger patties and other flat food products, as well as crust freezing of a wide range of food products. The throughput time is shorter than with conventional impingement systems. These innovative HVF systems from GEA utilize special high-velocity air nozzles, which effectively enable fast penetration of the insulating boundary layer of the goods to be frozen, and fast reduction of the temperature at the outer layer. The result is fast freezing of the product surface. Since the freezing process takes place faster than with conventional freezers, this minimizes dehydration losses of the food products. The benefits to food processors include higher food quality, less cellular damage, longer shelf life, shorter freezing time, 10 to 15 % greater production capacity, and greater yields – all with less energy consumption. With its HVF, GEA has raised the concept of

28/11/13 10.46

FOCUS ON FOOD TECHNOLOGIES

impingement freezing to a new performance level and has implemented essential hygiene characteristics: e.g., fully welded seams and sloped unit floors. The GEA HVF freezer is available with one conveyor belt – or, as option, with two belts whose variable speeds can be separately adjusted.

Chilling and freezing packaged goods inline With its two series I-SRT and I-VRT, GEA Refrigeration Technologies offers two effective solutions for chilling or freezing of packaged foods. These systems enable efficient cooling down to required temperatures of food in cartons, in shrink film, or in plastic packages. These systems are designed for uninterrupted operation and are easily integrated into plant logistics systems, since they are fed from conveyor belts. This makes intermediate storage unnecessary, and the chilling or freezing process fits seamlessly between processing and packaging stages. Systems in the I-SRT series are designed for goods with fixed retention times (SRT = single retention time). Processing takes place sequentially according to the first-in, first-out principle. After the system accepts the packages from the conveyor belt, the SRT unit places them automatically on an empty placement tray, and then positions them into the chilling stream of air. The process assures sufficient interval to the adjacent trays, to allow effective heat transfer. One positive result is short retention times. After completion of the retention time, the goods are gently transferred to a conveyor belt, where they pass to palletizing and to consignment storage. The I-SRT systems can be designed for output of 1,400 to 13,600 kg/h. The I-VRT systems (VRT = variable single retention time) enable chilling or freezing of various products alternatively, since they allow variable retention times. They can be effectively used, for example, for food products of various weights or forms. When the

GEA FP 5/13.indd 4

product reaches the end of the set retention time, and has achieved the previously specified exit temperature profile, the placement tray is removed and unloaded. Here as well, loading and unloading of the freezers with conveyor belts assure smooth integration into plant logistics. The GEA I-VRT freezers or chillers are available for throughput volumes of approx. 4,500 to 41,000 kg/h.

More freezer capacity for the same footprint GEA Maxi-Stack offers great freezing capacity on a small footprint. These freezers are available for output up to approx. 3,500 kg/h (depending on product). Their compact size is possible as a result of their self-stacking, patented GEA Q-belt™ conveyor belt, which makes unnecessary the slide rails that are conventionally used with low-tension spiral freezers. This means more conveyor belt surface area with the same external dimensions. GEA Maxi-Stack is available in various numbers of tiers, thereby enabling the user to adapt his freezers to the product being processed. GEA Maxi-Stack uses the latest advanced features from the GEA freezing product range: e.g., the fully welded modular insulated floor and stainless steel structure, and a fully welded

GEA carton chillers and freezers are designed and available for fixed or variable retention times. The picture shows an internal view of the GEA I-VRT. Uptake and output sections with conveyor belts enable seamless integration of the units into plant conveyor systems. stainless steel case as an option. All these design features enable the GEA Maxi-Stack to be cleaned efficiently by a CIP system (clean-in-place). The evaporator is manufactured in-house with stainless steel tubes and with 0.6 mm aluminum fins. GEA Maxi-Stack offers special benefits when increased throughput of frozen products is desired on a given equipment footprint – or when compact building dimensions are being implemented for the production floor. The option of a snow-removal system allows extended operating time between interruptions for defrosting. The recirculating CIP option offers highly efficient cleaning and saves water and detergent.

With its GEA Maxi-Stack model, GEA Refrigeration Technologies offers an extremely compact spiral freezer for output up to approx. 3,500 kg/h.

A

uf der PROCESS EXPO 2013 erläutern Froster-Experten der GEA Refrigeration North America die Vorzüge der GEA Karton-, Spiral-, Tunnel- und Impingement-Froster beim Einsatz in der Nahrungsmittelindustrie. Außerdem stehen Fachleute bereit, um dem Publikum weitere Produkte aus dem breiten Portfolio des Unternehmens zu erläutern, etwa Eismaschinen, Flüssigkeitskühlsätze, Schrauben- und Kolbenkompressoren, Kompressor-Packages, kundenspezifische Systeme und zum Beispiel die Regelungstechnik. Zu den wichtigen Trends gehört das schnelle Frosten zugunsten einer verbesserten Produktqualität. Wenn die Produktoberfläche in kurzer Zeit gefriert, wird die Feuchtigkeit im Produkt eingeschlossen. Ein schneller Gefrierprozess verhindert außerdem die Bildung großer Eiskristalle – langsam gefrorene Lebensmittel hingegen verlieren beim Auftauen mehr Flüssigkeit. Aus diesem Grund hat GEA Refrigeration Technologies die ImpingementTechnologie verfeinert. Das Ergebnis ist der GEA High Velocity Freezer mit einem verbesserten Düsendesign. Der Froster kann Hamburger Patties, dünne Fischfilets, Shrimps und viele weitere flache Produkte gefrieren. Außer zum Tiefgefrieren des kompletten Produkts werden Impingement-Froster wie dieser auch für das sogenannte Crust Freezing eingesetzt. Hierbei geht es nicht um das Durchfrieren bis zum Produktkern, sondern um eine hart gefrorene Produktoberfläche. Sie bietet Vorteile, wenn Fleisch in dünne Scheiben geschnitten werden soll. Bei vielen Anwendungen spielt Flexibilität eine wichtige Rolle, zum Beispiel beim Gefrieren von Fertiggerichten,

Für solche Anwendungen ist es von Vorteil, wenn Froster je nach Produkteigenschaften und -gewicht verschiedene Verweilzeiten ermöglichen – so wie die GEA Kartonfroster I-VRT. Sie erlauben unterschiedliche Verweilzeiten und gestatten so einen hochwertigen Gefrierprozess ohne unnötigen Zeit- und Energieaufwand. Eine andere vielseitige Frosterlösung ist der Spiralfroster GEA Maxi-Stack. Er ist besonders von Vorteil, wenn bei gegebener Stellfläche ein höherer Durchsatz an Gefriergut angestrebt wird oder kompakte Gebäudeabmessungen zu den Planungskriterien der Produktionshalle gehören. Eine ausführlichere Beschreibung dieser Froster finden Sie auf den Folgeseiten dieser Pressemappe.

Flache Waren schneller Frosten

Der Hochgeschwindigkeitsfroster HVF

(High Velocity Freezer) der GEA Refrigeration Technologies basiert auf der Impingement-Technologie und ermöglicht das Gefrieren von Hamburger-Patties und anderen flachen Produkten sowie das Anfrieren diverser Lebensmittel bei kurzer Durchlaufzeit. Der innovative HVF verwendet hierzu spezielle Hochgeschwindigkeits-Luftdüsen, so dass die isolierende Grenzschicht gut durchdrungen und die Temperatur an der Außenschicht schnell herabgesetzt werden kann. Die Folge ist ein schnelles Frosten der Oberfläche. Weil der Gefrierprozess hier in kürzerer Zeit erfolgt als bei herkömmlichen Frostern, wird der Flüssigkeitsverlust des Gefrierguts minimiert. Lebensmittelverarbeiter profitieren von höherer Produktqualität, geringeren Zellschäden, längerer Haltbarkeit der Lebensmittel, kürzerer Gefrierzeit, 10 bis 15 Prozent höherer Kapazität und einem größeren Ertrag. Gleichzeitig wird dabei weniger Energie aufgewendet. GEA hat mit dem

HVF das Konzept des ImpingementVerfahrens auf eine neue Leistungsebene gehoben und dabei die typischen Hygienemerkmale, zum Beispiel vollverschweißte Nähte und einen abschüssigen Boden, eingebracht. Der GEA Froster HVF ist mit einem Förderband oder optional mit zwei in der Geschwindigkeit getrennt einstellbaren Förderbändern lieferbar.

Verpackte Waren inline kühlen oder gefrieren Mit den Serien I-SRT und I-VRT bietet GEA Refrigeration Technologies zwei effektive Lösungen zum Kühlen oder Gefrieren verpackter Waren. In ihnen lassen sich kartonierte Lebensmittel ebenso auf Zieltemperatur bringen wie in Schrumpffolie verpackte oder Kunststoffgebinde. Die Anlagen sind auf den Dauerbetrieb ausgelegt und integrieren sich in die innerbetriebliche Logistik, denn sie werden mit einem Förderband beschickt. Zwischenlager sind somit entbehrlich, der Kühl- oder Gefrierprozess fügt sich nahtlos zwischen Verarbeitung und Verpackung ein. Die Geräte der Serie I-SRT sind für Waren mit einer fest vorgegebenen Verweilzeit (SRT = Single Retention Time) ausgelegt. Die Verarbeitung erfolgt sequenziell nach dem First-infirst-out-Prinzip. Nach dem Entgegennehmen der Gebinde vom Förderband lagert das System diese automatisch auf einem leeren Einlegeboden ein und positioniert sie im kühlenden Luftstrom. Dabei wird genügend Abstand zu Nachbarböden eingehalten, damit ein effektiver Wärmeübertrag stattfindet. Das sorgt für kurze Verweilzeiten. Nach Ablauf der Verweilzeit wird die Ware schonend auf ein Förderband übertragen und gelangt zur Palettierung und zum Versandlager. Die Anlagen der Serie I-SRT können für Fördermengen von 1.400 bis 13.600 kg pro Stunde ausgelegt werden. Die I-VRT-Anlagen (VRT = Variable Single Retention Time) erlauben das Kühlen oder Gefrieren verschiedener Produkte im Wechsel, denn sie

So lassen sich zum Beispiel Produkte unterschiedlichen Gewichts oder Form verarbeiten. Wenn das Produkt die Verweildauer erreicht hat, um die zuvor festgelegte Austrittstemperaturprofil zu erzielen, wird der Einlegeboden entnommen und entladen. Auch hier sorgt ein Beschicken und Entladen des Frosters mit Förderbändern für die leichte Integration in die innerbetriebliche Logistik. Die GEA I-VRT Froster bzw. Kühler sind für Fördermengen von etwa 4.500 bis 41.000 kg pro Stunde erhältlich.

lich. Möglich ist seine Kompaktheit aufgrund des selbststapelnden, patentierten GEA Q-belt™-Förderbandes, denn es macht die bei anderen (LowTension-)Spiralfrostern eingesetzten Gleitschienen entbehrlich. Somit bietet der GEA Maxi-Stack bei identischen Außenabmessungen mehr Bandfläche. GEA Maxi-Stack gibt es mit verschieden vielen Ebenen, so dass die Forster dem Gefriergut angepasst werden können. GEA Maxi-Stack profitiert von den jüngsten Merkmalen der GEA FrosterBaureihen, was sich zum Beispiel in dem modularen, isolierten und vollverschweißten Edelstahlboden widerspiegelt, in dem verschweißten EdelstahlAufbau und dem optionalen, ebenfalls geschweißten Edelstahl-Gehäuse. Diese Designeigenschaften ermöglichen eine effiziente Reinigung mit einem Clean-in-Place(CIP)-System. Der Verdampfer wird aus Edelstahlrohren und 0,6 mm dicken Aluminium-Lamellen von GEA selbst gefertigt. GEA Maxi-Stack ist besonders von Vorteil, wenn bei gegebener Stellfläche ein höherer Durchsatz an Gefriergut angestrebt wird oder kompakte Gebäudeabmessungen zu den Planungskriterien der Produktionshalle gehören. Optional ist ein Snow-Removal-System, das längere Betriebszeiten zwischen den Entfrostungszyklen erlaubt. Außerdem ist ein optionales Clean-in-Place-System mit RecyclingKreislauf erhältlich, das wirksam reinigt und aufgrund des RecyclingKreislaufs sparsam mit Wasser und Reinigungsmittel umgeht.

Mit dem GEA MaxiStack bietet GEA Refrigeration Technologies einen äußerst platzsparenden Spiralfroster für Gefrierleistungen bis etwa 3.500 kg/h an.

FT-NIR SPECTROSCOPY AS A FAST SCREENING METHOD FOR THE MEAT PROCESSING INDUSTRY

W

ithin the meat industry the continuous analysis of fresh meat and other ingredients is necessary in order to adapt the recipes to ensure a constant batch to batch quality of sausages and various types of meat products. Moreover, legislation bodies require consistent documentation based on accurate data. Therefore, an increasing demand of fast but reliable analytical tools can be observed which are able to replace the often time and labor consuming classical analyses like gravimetric fat determination or combustion method for protein content. The potential of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy was discovered in the 1960s first for the rapid characterization of agricultural products like grain. Today NIR is widely used in the food industry for non-destructive qualitative and quantitative analysis of raw materials, in-process materials, and finished products throughout the entire manufacturing process. The FT-NIR technology offers a lot of advantages over classical wet-chemical and chromatographic analyses. It is very fast with analysis times below 30 seconds, cost-effective and safe,

since no hazardous chemicals are used. It simply measures the absorption of near-infrared light of the sample at different wavelengths. The recorded NIR spectrum is characterized by absorbance bands of C-H, N-H or O-H groups in the different molecules, making NIR spectroscopy first choice for the analysis of natural materials like meat and sausage products for fat, protein, moisture and other main components. It will help to

homogenizing the meat or sausage by using a knife mill. These types of mill are usually available in the meat analysis lab already. The sample is then put into an open Petri dish and analyzed by placing it on the bench top FT-NIR spectrometer (Figure 1). The use of modern fiber optic probe technology and contactless NIR measurement heads allows even the analysis of carcasses or complete hams without any sample preparation.

tant to know the exact composition of each incoming batch in order to adapt the recipes accordingly. Measuring the fat content of carcasses is also often a criterion for the value-based payment of the suppliers. FT-NIR offers here a valuable tool for assessing the incoming material. The parameters fat, protein and moisture can be determined simultaneously with only one measurement. With the results, decisions can be taken on how to proceed with the production. Table 1 shows typical results of NIR calibrations with RMSECV being the mean analytical error of the method. The NIR analysis can of course not only take place in the laboratory or at-line. Often, the aim is, to measure continuously in the process, e.g. in a mixer, wolf or conveyor screw. The instant results can then be utilized to decide if making adjustments to a batch e.g. for total fat content is required.

RAW SAUSAGES

COOKED SAUSAGES

Table 2: Calibration results of raw and cooked sausages required to determine the maximum amount of water, minimum amount of protein and total amount of fat in every type of sausage. Moreover, the salt content is of interest for the producer as well as for the customer. FT-NIR spectroscopy has proven to be an efficient analysis method for the determination of moisture, fat, protein and salt content in various types of sausages. Table 2 shows an example of raw and cooked sausages, analyzed in the laboratory of a large German sausage producer. Another big topic for the production of sausages is the optimization of shelf life. One critical parameter is the water activity (aw). It is defined as the amount of water available for microbial (e.g. bacteria, mold or yeast) growth. The larger the value is, the more likely the sausage is prone to decay. The Spanish institute for agrifood science IRTA (Institut Recerca Tecnològia Agroalimenta) confirmed in a successful study that water activity in e.g. fermented sausages (Figure 2) can be analyzed by FT-NIR spectroscopy with high accuracy alongside the determination of water and salt. The study further suggested that FTNIR is appropriate for monitoring the dry curing process non-destructively in the production.

BRUKER FP 2/13.indd 4

Approximately 40-50% of the weight of any slaughtered animal is not fit for

human consumption. This material is mostly transformed by the rendering industry into highly nutritional ingredients for the animal feed production. These include sources of energy like tallow or lard as well as protein rich material like meat and bone meal or poultry meal. FT-NIR is well established for the analysis of edible fats of animal origin where parameters like the total fatty acid content as well as free fatty acids and iodine value can be analyzed simultaneously. For animal meals the classical constituents like moisture, fat, protein, fiber and ash can be determined as well as more specialized parameters like energy values or amino acid profiles.

Conclusion With the growing global demand for meat and meat products it can be a challenge to keep the standard quality requested by the customers. FT-NIR Spectroscopy being able to provide analysis results in less than a minute has the potential to complement or even substitute a wide range of classical test methods for the quality assessment of meat and meat products in the laboratory as well as online.

STEEL BELTS ARE TOP OF THE MILK FOR TETRA PAK

T

etra Pak has recently launched the Tetra Evero Aseptic one–litre – the first aseptic carton bottle for milk. The new carton combines the easy handling and pouring of a bottle with the environmental and cost advantages of a carton. It is initially being aimed at the ambient white milk market, including non-oxygen sensitive enriched products, including flavoured milk and cream. Unlike traditional carton materials, which are aseptically sterilised before they are formed into shape, the Tetro Evero Aseptic is pre-formed and not flat-packed, meaning it requires an alternative approach. The majority of existing technologies for sterilising performed shapes rely on a gas-condensation process. This process involves the gas condensing on the material surface, but this is known to be complex and difficult to control.

BELT TECHNOLOGIES FP 5/13.indd 3

The Tetra Evero Aseptic, however, uses a new gas-phase sterilisation technique which involves the cartons passing through a unique aseptic chamber in pairs where they are exposed to hydrogen peroxide. The gas comes into contact with the whole preformed package – inside and out, removing any contaminants that might have been present before entering the aseptic chamber. The cartons travel on steel belts during this production process. The use of steel belts is a highly hygienic alternative to using traditional plastic and PU conveyor systems. Avoiding the spread of contaminants is imperative in belt technology: steel belts are far easier to clean than their plastic counterparts and do not need to be lubricated in order to transmit power. This is important because germs and potentially harmful bacteria are attracted

to dust generated by lubricant grease, which can potentially contaminate food or other products. Steele belts are not just available as flat conveyors, they can be customised in many ways and offer novel and exciting solutions to a variety of complicated conveying problems. Belts can be perforated with complex patterns for timing, vacuum or dosing applications. Together, the steel belt technology and the new gas-phase sterilisation technique used in the production of the new Tetra Evero Aseptic have resulted in a highly effective means of commercial sterility – an innovative development which should now set the gold standard for the production of aseptic packaging across Europe and the rest of the world.

CHILLED NFC JUICES: THE BERTUZZI APPROACH

T

he market of fruit juice is developing quite rapidly and the share of NFC juices is considerably increasing because of their high quality. In Europe and the US (but also in whole world) 100% juice (not from concentrate) category is showing a strong growth potential. Of particular importance, in this sector, are the chilled juice, fruit juices that are prepared directly from the fresh fruit and then are just chilled and filled or slightly pasteurized and chilled in order to retain all organolectic characteristics. The majority of the chilled juice found in the shops shelfs is based on orange but other varieties like pineapple, grapefruit, carrots as well as blends (orange-carrot, orangepineapple, carrot-lemon-pineapple etc.) are becoming more and more popular. The main hints for the design of a plant processing fresh fruit into chilled juices are:  Optimization of flow of fruit/juice  Optimization of characteristics of process equipment  Optimization of processing cycles in order to: 1. Decrease processing times 2. Minimize oxidation of the juice 3. Keep high organolectic characteristics  Optimize CIP system to control the

BERTUZZI FP 5/13.indd 3

microbiology of the juice. Some of the machines used for the application are dedicated for a certain type of fruit, for istance:  Dedicated citrus juice extractors (orange, lemons, grapefruit), in order to minimize the essential oil content in the juice and assure a good control of the pulp.  Deshellers and dedicated presses for pomegranate to produce cloudy or clear juice which importance is considerably increasing for the beneficial health characteristics.  Dedicated pineapple juicing in order to obtain high quality juice only from the edible part of the fruit without contamination with the peel. These are some examples but few. Extractors for juice/puree can be provided for apples, carrots, pears, passion fruit, banana, beets, mango, spinach, asparagus, berries, hawthorns, guava etc. The obtained juice is immediately (blended or not) slightly pasteurized (65-70°C) and chilled before filling. All these examples of equipment have been designed, built and put in operation by Bertuzzi Food Processing Srl, an Italian Company that operates in this field since 1936 and that supplies plants and machines to process fruit and vegetables to produce juice, concentrates, baby food, jam, readymade drinks etc…

WHY DO I NEED A BUYING OFFICE?

B

uyer and manufacturer despite a global market and all the means of communication available today, are often reciprocally unknown or unable to meet up. The globalization and consequent competition urges the foreign buyer looking to diversify his sales offer to bet on new purchasing channels and sources, which not always are reliable and safe. While knowing how to buy and buying well are musts, it is also important to have representative products, create one’s own product line, which prove to be decisive factors, in brief, to be a hit, you have to “have the right product, at the right time, in the right place and at the right price, for the right customer”. A complex procedure that involves different professions, talents and

FAMOR FP 5/13.indd 3

experiences, market realities and situations. It is therefore indispensable to have a thorough knowledge of the market and its continuous evolutions, as well as great intuition, initiative and gumption. And this is where the Buying Office comes into the picture, being an organization that works in the interest of a foreign client and for this service receives a fee. Its field of action is consumer goods and operates as a purchasing office for foreign traders: whether department store chains, wholesalers or importers, small-scale distribution of specialty stores. The buyer who looks to the European market for his purchases thus finds a knowledgeable and reliable guide in the Buying Office, that does not perform the functions of agent for

European producers; it is instead the buyer’s veritable European branch-office, offering him a thorough knowledge of the products in the various product categories, from the agricultural and food industry, to gift and tableware, to FMCG. The BO thanks to its experience can therefore select potential suppliers, evaluate their reliability and soundness, and is in a position to evaluate effective respondence of the suppliers to their public image, so as to better orient the buyer. The BO is dedicated to serve the interest of its Clients offering an all-round service that ranges from planning buyers’ trips – including operations planning – to market research, in terms of singling out the product and the qualityprice ratio; accompanying buyers during their visits to suppliers.

ARKET AND PRODUCT RESEARCHES The BO spends a great deal of time with manufacturers, reviewing merchandised produced all over Italy. It also develops particular “private label� lines which are geared to the individual needs of their Clients. This takes into consideration quality, price points required and market research is the most important contribution and investment for our Clients.

RELIABILITY OF SUPPLIERS The BO will select suppliers based on a long lasting experience and evaluation of their past performance, as well as thanks to the diffused knowledge of the market in terms of products and manufacturers.

PRICES AND BUYING POWER Pricing policies greatly vary, according to the merchandise and geographical areas. Thanks to its experience the BO will guide the Buyer through this, obtaining from manu-

FAMOR FP 5/13.indd 4

facturers the best possible prices for any product. This is possible through the Buying Power that we have as a BO that generates from the sum of each individual Purchase of all our Clients and that surely is bigger than any single Customer buying on its own. This includes terms and conditions.

ORDERS AND ORDERS FOLLOW-UP A) Place the orders with suppliers; B) Manages the follow up of all incoming orders, from the production to the delivery of the goods in the time frame requested by the customer; C) Consolidates small orders at the lowest possible price, avoiding when possible the use of external warehouses, and reverting to our internal warehouse for the stuffing of mixed containers; we have namely more than 1000 sq warehousing facility, that we regularly use for mix containers, offering the Client an additional service at the lowest possible cost, enabling him to order

up to few pallets. This is especially important when launching a new product on the market, so that trial orders can be handled easily and at low cost. D) Gathers all the export documentation for every single supplier, checks it and then sends it via express courier or as for shipping documents through telex releases for B/L, along with the original shipping documents and all the other documents needed for the custom; E) Updates the customer on orders and shipping status in real time.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE As part of the BO service we also offer to our Clients financial assistant, which translate into a central invoicing system. All suppliers invoice the BO and on return the Client receives invoices only from the BO, which means: a) only one custom in export/import, hence reduced costs for the Client; b) only one invoicing company, hen-

29/11/13 17.02

NEWS IN SHORT

ce reduced financial costs for the Client for wiring transfers and bank expenses; c) better terms from suppliers, possible thanks to the credibility and solvency that we have as BO with all our long year suppliers and with the banks.

DELIVERIES The BO will carefully look after to all the orders and make sure that deliveries are on time, keeping contact with the manufacturers and advising the buyer of the status of orders in production.

QUALITY AND QUANTITY CONTROL Evaluating correctly the quality of the products requires an expertise and only those who have been exposed at length to the Italian market are really able to do so! Quality and Quantity control is carefully effected by the BO random as procedure, or on request, either spot or total checking, on both production and finish products. Professional QC protects the interests of the Clients and it the key to successful selling.

FORWARDING OF GOODS The BO can also assist you with the delivery of the goods, thanks to its knowledge and experience having chosen reliable partners for the forwarding enabling the supply chain being always under control and the landed cost of the goods competitive. Too often happens that every cent saved in purchasing the product, is then lost in a wrong or too expensive forwarding. XFA ITALIA, being part of the EFFEITALIA group to which also Famor Italia belongs, is Famor Italia preferential partner for most of the forwarding activities. Our experience and knowledge however includes also other freight forwarding agency, that support our activity with the aim of increasing volumes, which can only occur if the landed cost is competitive.

FAMOR FP 5/13.indd 5

CONFORMITY OF DOCUMENTS AND MERCHANDISE TO CUSTOMS REGULATION The BO will make sure that the goods are properly labeled according to the Client’s Country regulation. Also it makes sure that documents are correctly issued and that packing is in line with International rules.

COMMUNICATION The communication is key point of any business; the BO will have regular and constant communication with the suppliers, saving the buyer’s time and money, but at the same time updating him constantly on the developments of the business. Also now more than ever is imperative to be able to communicate in real time with the customers. For this reason we have studied, in collaboration with our IT specialists, an on-line system which allows us to offer an active communication, available 24/7, to all our customers, in every corner of the globe. Each customer can namely access it through the web and thanks to a personal log-in and password he will find a dedicated space where he can easily reach all the needed information, even when, due to time zone, he would not find anybody in the office. This new system joins the traditional communications, such as fax, telephone and e-mail: each staff member has his personal mail

account, through which he can communicate directly with costumers and suppliers. The system can be accessed 24/7 and stores all information regarding: • Products, price lists, pictures; • shipping lines, both sea and air, and relative schedules; • order’s preparation (interactive with the BO); • order’s status; • accounting and invoices (interactive with the BO); • claims • archive (where are hold all previous information and documents, registered per year)

PLANNING OF THE TRIPS / ATTENDANCE TO FAIRS The BO will inform you on the best possible time to come and visit the European market according to the buyer’s needs. It will assist the buyer in arranging hotel reservations (having special rates in all the major hotels) and transportation around Italy/Europe. When the buyer arrives one of the market representatives, experienced in the merchandise category of interest, will meet him and assist for the length of the trip. In addition to this the BO staff regularly attends domestic and international show, updating the buyer sending detailed reports on the products, manufacturers through sending catalogues and if required samples.

n line with the philosophy established by the brothers who founded it, Filippo and Francesco Pagani, the company has always been committed to promoting innovation while retaining its competitive edge and respecting individuals. This is the secret of Fratelli Pagani S.p.A., a company set up over a hundred years ago, with a focus on herbs and spices and the ability to grow a business based on tradition thanks to professionalism and good business instincts. Growth has been steady, building on food development and innovation, made possible thanks to the continued work of its inhouse Research and Development laboratory, which is responsible for Quality Control, and is steered by seven experts and new techniques that are constantly being updated. The company has ambitious objectives, which it achieves thanks to the consistent, committed involvement of the shareholders, who span four generations, and to the ongoing professional development of its employees: this is why Fratelli Pagani S.p.A. is able to assess and anticipate its customers’ demands, guaranteeing the most beneficial and appropriate solutions, customised to suit their needs. With these firm foundations, imbued with innovation and excellence, some twenty years ago Fratelli

Pagani S.p.A. decided to expand into seasonings and functional ingredients for the Food Industry, drawing on its own cutting-edge technology: air-conditioned, dehumidified premises, standardised processing times, the highest qua-

REAL INNOVATION AND PROMISING ALLIANCES

T

he NETZSCH Group grinding and fine grinding specialists announced a solid order situation at mid-year and said that they are looking optimistically to the future. A lot of new developments and innovative optimizations of current systems are considered to be the main reasons for this selfconfidence. Moreover, according to experts, the future-oriented cooperation of NETZSCH Grinding and Dispersing with the British Malvern Instruments Ltd. could become a real sales engine. One of the most comprehensive optimizations of NETZSCH-CONDUX was the complete conceptual redesign of the CONDUX® impact mill. A lot of especially designed systems, already equipped with the essential characteristics of the new mill concept, have been in operation most successfully before they gave rise to start the development of CONDUX®. On the one hand, the redesigned version holds all the proven construction features of prior machine generations, while on the other hand the engineers created an extremely flexible toolbox system around them. This concept brings the classical design specification in an appropriate context with the demands of the operator. Mainly thanks to the new toolbox system, CONDUX® offers significantly more flexibility in product processing, compared to conventional universal rotor impact mills.

RPC SHARES A MOMENT WITH THORNTONS RPC Containers Blackburn and Halstead are supplying a bespoke jar and lid as a Christmas gift pack for Thorntons premium twist wrap brand ‘Moments’ - a selection of favourite flavours smothered in delicious milk chocolate, ideal for sharing but even better as a sneaky treat for yourself. There are six different varieties in this new pack format. Included are Soft Caramel, Creamy Fudge, Double Chocolate Croquant, Crunchy Praline, Orange Crisp and Chocolate Truffle, so it’s tough to pick a favourite. The 600g PET jar, conceived by Thorntons in conjunction with RPC Design, echoes the look of a traditional cookie jar to create on-shelf differentiation and promote the sharing nature of the brand. At the same time the glass-like clarity of the PET enhances the appearance of the attractive multi-coloured wrapped chocolates, which reflects the quality of the Moments chocolates. The jar has been designed to rest at a 45° degree angle making the large opening more accessible. The black polypropylene cap from RPC Halstead features a colourful label and there are also labels in two recessed panels at either side, supplied by Thornton Print and applied on line by RPC Blackburn. A unique feature of the jar is that it is stackable in this angled position, enabling Thorntons to maximise in-store display in retail outlets, with pallets of the product positioned near entrances. To enable the jars to stack correctly, a recess in the base and a raised area on the top has been integrated into the design. “The twist wrap confectionery market is highly compe-

SUSTAINABLE FOOD

The food industry focuses on clean energy. Two excellent examples promoted by Energy Resources: Cbm Fileni and Vis Industrie Alimentari

T

argeting international development trends, Energy Resources’ mission desires to translate the vision into a much more solid approach by designing technologies, systems and products that really mean zero impact for each human activity, from producing energy from renewable and inexhaustible sources to the use of energy to supply buildings and sustainable mobility systems. With more than 110 megawatts of total power installed in plants exploiting renewable energies, Energy Resources is one of the leaders in the Italian renewable energy market. In six years the company has reached a turnover of more than ₏ 350 million. To date more than 600 among the most important Italian companies have chosen ER to create photovoltaic and geothermal plants, Green Buildings and for renovating the energy systems as well as integrated systems for sustainable mobility. Energy Resources is also a green energy producer with 8.5 megawatts of owned photovoltaic plants which open the Italian energy market to foreign investors. Food is converting to renewables. A host of companies in the industry are renovating the energy systems in their facilities. There are two aims: restore old plants, often featuring asbestos roofs which require reclamation, and cut heating and electricity consumption thus reducing costs for the companies. Renewable energy is the answer to

ENERGY RESURCE FP 2/13.indd 3

these pressing needs. Vis Industrie Alimentari and Cbm Fileni are two good examples created by Energy Resources in Italy. With Ministerial Decree of 19 February 2007, Italian companies and private individuals were given the chance to make a real contribution to protecting the environment, by installing solar panels on roofs and on the ground. There are not only financial savings involved. Many people and companies jumped at the chance, also considering that photovoltaic panels insulate roofs better, with no risk to their waterproofing. Renewable energy is an excellent investment in terms of communication and green marketing: today’s consumers are more and more

interested in a company’s impact on the environment in addition to the sustainability of its production chain. This value directly reflects on the end product, increasing the perception of quality and authenticity. «Every plant installed for our customers – explains the chairman of Energy Resources, Enrico Cappanera - is like a tailor-made suit, designed and created on the basis of the real needs and potential of the structures we work on. We are talking about efficient, effective and safe investments».

C.B.M. FILENI This well-known chicken farm conceived two separate projects for energy development at the chicken houses and warehouses located in San Marcello (An), by installing a 200kw photovoltaic system with the Net metering formula (90% guaranteed coverage of the company’s electricity require-

IN SHORT

ment), supported by another 1Mw system to complete the transfer of energy produced to the network. The panels almost cover the entire surface of the roofs. The opportunity was seized to replace the now obsolete roof with 8-centimetre “sandwich” insulation panels that provide significant thermal/acoustic insulation as well as an additional overall energy saving of more than 10%. Almost two years from commissioning the panels, the production of “green” energy has exceeded 1,542,888.608 kWh, equalling 819,274.04 kg of CO2 not released into the atmosphere, and 336,261.90 litres of petrol not used: the equivalent of 106,000 new trees.

VIS INDUSTRIE ALIMENTARI In 2011 this leading company specialised in the production and wholesale of frozen food decided to transform the roof of the facility in Noale (VE)

into a true solar-power electricity production plant while reclaiming the old asbestos covering. Energy Resources proposed the most competitive bid in technical and financial terms. This allowed Vis Industrie Alimentari to benefit from the incentives to the production of green energy in addition to a further bonus for reclaiming the asbestos. The 292.5 kWp photovoltaic system guaranteed a new source of revenue by producing considerable savings by slashing electricity consumption. Almost two years from commissioning the panels, the production of “green” energy has reached 400,000 kWh, equalling 200,000 kg of CO2 not released into the atmosphere, and a saving of around € 90,000 per annum. Thanks asbestos reclamation, the incentive recognised to VIS was among the highest obtainable from the GSE (Energy Services Manager).

Bis heute haben sich über 600 der bedeutendsten Unternehmen des Made in Italy zur Verwirklichung von photovoltaischen und geothermischen Anlagen, Green Building und energetischen Requalifizierungen, nebst integrierten Systemen für die nachhaltige Mobilität, für ER entschieden. Energy Resources ist auch Erzeuger von grünem Strom durch 8,5 Megawatt eigene Photovoltaikanlagen, die den italienischen Strommarkt für ausländische Investoren öffnen.

Die Lebensmittelindustrie sattelt auf erneuerbare Energien um. Zahlreiche Unternehmen der Branche setzen auf die energetische Requalifizierung ihrer Strukturen. Dabei wird ein zweifaches Ziel verfolgt: Die Sanierung der alten Werke, die sich oftmals noch durch Asbestabdeckungen auszeichnen, die saniert werden müssen und die drastische Reduzierung des Heizungs- und Stromverbrauchs zur Senkung der Betriebskosten. Die Antwort auf diese dringenden Bedürfnisse kann nur von den erneuerbaren Energien kommen. Es gibt zwei virtuose Beispiele, die Energy Resources in Italien verwirklicht hat: Vis Industrie Alimentari und Cbm Fileni. Durch das Ministerialdekret vom 19. Februar 2007 hat sich die Möglichkeit für die italienischen Unternehmen, aber auch für Privatpersonen eröffnet, durch die Installation von Photovoltaikpaneelen sowohl auf Dächern, als auch auf dem Boden, einen aktiven Beitrag für den Umweltschutz zu leisten. Mit Blick auf die Einsparung, und zwar nicht nur aus wirtschaftlicher Sicht. Und sehr viele haben die Gelegenheit beim Schopf gepackt, auch in Anbetracht der Tatsache, dass die Photovoltaik für eine bessere Isolierung des Daches sorgt, ohne Gefahren für die Abdichtungseigenschaften der Dachböden. Die erneuerbaren Energien stellen im Übrigen eine ausgezeichnete Investition in Bezug auf Kommunikation und Green Marketing dar: Der moderne Verbraucher wird immer aufmerksamer und achtet neben der Nachhaltigkeit der Produktkette auch auf die Umweltauswirkungen des Unternehmens, einen Wert, der sich direkt im Endprodukt widerspiegelt, und die Wahrnehmung von Qualität und Ursprünglichkeit steigert. «Jede für unsere Kunden installierte Anlage - erklärt der Präsident von Energy Resources, Enrico Cappanera - ist wie ein Maßanzug, geplant und gebaut auf Grundlage der tatsächlichen Bedürfnisse und Potenziale der Strukturen, für die wir

Das bedeutende, auf die Herstellung und den Großhandel von Tiefkühlwaren spezialisierte Unternehmen hat 2011 beschlossen, das Dach des Werks in Noale (VE) in ein wahres Kraftwerk für die Erzeugung von Solarenergie zu verwandeln, und dabei gleichzeitig die alten Asbestabdeckungen zu sanieren. Energy Resources hat das sowohl technisch als auch wirtschaftlich gesehen wettbewerbsfähigste Angebot abgegeben und der Vis Industrie Alimentari dadurch ermöglicht, nicht nur auf die Fördermittel für die Erzeugung von „grüner“ Energie, sondern auch auf eine weitere Prämie für die Asbestsanierung zuzugreifen. Die 292,5 kWp Photovoltaikanlage stellt eine neue Einnahmequelle dar, da sie für deutliche Einsparungen durch die starke Senkung des Stromverbrauchs sorgt. In fast zwei Jahren nach Inbetriebnahme der Paneele, hat die Produktion von „grüner“ Energie 400.000 kWh, entsprechend über 200.000 kg nicht in die Atmosphäre abgegebenem CO2, sowie eine wirtschaftliche Einsparung von etwa 90.000 Euro pro Jahr erreicht. Dank der Asbestsanierung zählt die der VIS zuerkannte Förderprämie mit zu den höchsten, die man von der Energieagentur GSE bekommen kann.

Das bekannte landwirtschaftliche Unternehmen, das im Bereich der Verwaltung von Geflügelzuchten tätig ist, hat zwei separate Projekte der energetischen Requalifizierung von Ställen und Werkshallen in San Marcello (AN) entwickelt, und eine 200 kW Photovoltaikanlage mit der Formel des Stromtauschs vor Ort installiert (Garantie für eine 90%ige Abdeckung des Bedarfs des Unternehmens an elektrischer Energie), neben einer weiteren 1 mW Anlage, deren erzeugte Energie vollständig ins Stromnetz eingespeist wird. Die Paneele decken nahezu die gesamte Fläche der Dächer ab. Man nutzte die Gelegenheit, die nunmehr veralteten Abdeckungen durch 8 cm dicke „Sandwich“-Isolierpaneele zu ersetzen, die sowohl für eine ausgezeichnete Wärme-/Schalldämmung sorgen, als auch eine weitere Energieeinsparung von insgesamt mehr als 10% ermöglichen. In fast zwei Jahren nach Inbetriebnahme der Paneele, hat die Produktion von „grüner“ Energie den Wert von 1.542.888,608 kWh, entsprechend über 819.274,04 kg nicht in die Atmosphäre abgegebenem CO2, sowie 336.261,90 Liter nicht verbrauchtem

HYDROSOL: INTELLIGENT STABILISING SYSTEMS FOR DAIRY PRODUCTS, DELI FOODS AND MEAT AND FISH PRODUCTS

H

ydrosol, the specialist in stabilising systems, is systematically continuing its expansion course of recent years. At the Technology Centre in Ahrensburg, near Hamburg, with its wide diversity of state-of-the-art equipment, technologists and research scientists develop stabilising systems tailor-made to the needs of different industries. At FIE 2013 the company presented its latest innovations for dairy products, deli foods, and meat and fish specialities. Dairy products and deli foods: Creating ideas, optimizing production processes The new functional systems for yoghurt cubes that can be used in salads as a fresh, low-fat alternative to feta cheese offer dairies additional sales potential. They are simple to produce and can be given an individual flavour by adding herbs or other flavourings. Specially for athletes and other persons with high protein requirements, Hydrosol has developed a salad dressing with a protein content of over eight percent. The dressing adheres well to the salad, and its flavour and visual appearance can be varied to meet individual needs. The idea behind the development of the Stabisol Easy series was to simplify production processes. The agglomerated stabilisers facilitate the processing of powdered substances with water. When starch and similar powders are mixed with water, lumps tend to form. In order to prevent this it is usual to make up pre-blends in which the stabiliser is dissolved.

Hydrosol_ FP 5/13.indd 3

With Stabisol Easy this step is now superfluous. The stabilisers are agglomerated by the fluid bed method so that they disperse readily and uniformly in liquids without forming lumps. An advantage that can be used in many fields of production – including stabilisation of dairy cream and the manufacture of mayonnaise.

Reconstituted alternatives to cheese With the aid of new stabilising systems from the Stabisol series, dairies, deli food manufacturers and producers of snacks and processed cheese can create various alternatives to semi-hard cheese and curd, cream or processed cheese. The finely adjusted hydrocolloid and protein mixtures stabilise the consi-

stency of all manner of different end products. The reconstituted specialities can be used for numerous applications – for example on pizza or in pies, as fillings for sausage or snack meals, in dip sauces and desserts, or as a sandwich spread. Besides being easy to produce, the reconstituted products offer attractive potential for cutting costs. They are usually less expensive than traditional cheese, since most of them can be made with vegetable fat. At the same time they have good functionality and result in convincing product quality.

Innovative clean-label solutions In response to the increasing demand for clean-label products on the part of consumers, Hydrosol has

11/11/13 14.17

NEWS IN SHORT

widened its range of label-friendly stabilising systems. Complexes of active substances without E numbers are now available for dairy products, ice cream, sandwich spreads, fruit preparations, mayonnaise, meat and sausage, and freeze-thaw resistant products. The stabilising effect of the new products is based on functional ingredients that do not have to be declared as additives.

Meat products: Economical production, more convenience, high enjoyment value For the meat processing industry, Hydrosol has developed new functio-

IN SHORT

nal systems for use in minced meat and convenience products. The functional ingredients from the HydroTOP series offer financial advantages in the manufacture and processing of minced meat products. They are suitable for hamburgers, meat balls, chicken nuggets and meat fillings for pasta dishes. The newly developed product HydroTOP High Gel 20, for example, forms a heat-stable gel with a structure similar to that of meat, which greatly enhances the texture even of recipes with a reduced meat content. It also considerably lessens the weight loss resulting from thermal treatment. Convenience products such as brea-

ded escalopes, goulash and marinated meat stay tender and succulent after cooking with the new complexes from the PLUSstabil series. These complexes of active substances are injected into the meat pieces like brine; they change the structure of the protein and increase water absorption. The connective tissue is softened, with the result that meat pieces with a shorter maturing time and pieces with a high collagen content remain tender however they are cooked. In this field, Hydrosol offers tailor-made systems for different end products – breaded, frozen, freshly marinated or pre-cooked for the microwave.

FRUITAPEEL GOES BACK FOR MORE FROM LINX Drinks manufacturer Fruitapeel has turned to Linx Printing Technologies for a new coding and marking solution on its busy production lines. Fruitapeel, established four years ago in Llantrisant, manufactures quality juices, smoothies and fruit sauces for supermarket own labels, airlines and the wider retail and food service sectors under its own name. The company’s previous printers were unreliable, suffering poor print quality and needing frequent readjustment and expensive maintenance. Fruitapeel was therefore looking for reliable coders that didn’t need regular attention and, having used Linx machines elsewhere before, was impressed by their reliability and ease of use Fruitapeel chose the new Linx 5900 continuous ink jet printer for coding onto bottles of fruit juices and smoothies ranging in size from 250ml to 2L. The PE caps are printed with a twoline message comprising a use by date and batch code. Each line is 3mm tall and printed with Linx Black 1240 ink, an ideal all round fast-drying ink. The coding speed is up to 92 bottles/min although on average one bottle is coded every two seconds, eight hours a day, five days a week.

Hydrosol_ FP 5/13.indd 4

Rob Stillman, Engineering Manager for Fruitapeel, says: “We code a lot of products and the Linx 5900 has freed up our time to get on with other things – it doesn’t need any intervention other than adding fluids. “Since installing the Linx 5900 in August we haven’t had any problems. Our operators like the printer because it is easy to use and we are able to leave them to it.” The Linx 5900 also has the adaptability to be further upgraded as and when required, with a variety of enhancements available that can be incorporated at any time, avoiding the need to purchase a whole new printer and making the initial investment future-proof. Designed to provide maximum flexibility and consistently reliable coding, it offers the lowest maintenance costs for this type of printer along with extended service intervals of up to 6,000 hours. The Linx 5900 also provides a cost-effective and predictable maintenance programme. Service intervals are up to 6,000 hours and each service requires fewer parts to be changed than with other printers. Together with minimal printhead maintenance, this means that the Linx 5900 delivers lowestin-class annual maintenance costs.

SANITARY DESIGN APPLIED TO THE CHOCOLATE INDUSTRY

T

he chocolate industry has never experienced a crisis. This is probably due to the fact that, unlike most, it has managed to create a new identity for its product assortment. In fact, the sale of chocolate products is no longer limited to “festivities” or “special occasions”, but has rather become a part of our daily diet. This development has been facilitated by a trend whe-

reby the product was liberated of the prejudices and prohibitions associated with excessive sugar and fat content, and its antioxidant and toning properties began to be exalted. Chocolate is an amazing product that lends itself to a wide range of packaging possibilities: from the most sought-after solutions, such as cardboard boxes, to practical flowpacks that can be taken

anywhere. The primary packaging, or rather that which comes into direct contact with the product, must provide for an excellent barrier against light, oxygen, humidity and external odours. Cavanna is capable of handling chocolate products in such a way so as guarantee the integrity of the product throughout every stage of the packaging process, while at the same time offering various solutions for obtaining the best flowpack possible: facilitated opening, ultrasonic welding, offset longitudinal welding, lateral gusseting, and more. The company even designs and manufactures systems that are capable of simultaneously reducing the space and time required for the management the line and

improving the yield of the packaging materials. Working with one of the largest companies in the industry on a worldwide scale, Cavanna even found itself handling nearly 1000 products per minute on a single packaging machine. One of the peculiarities of this packaging line – which is designed for handling demoulded chocolate – is the use of two belts, which are capable of accurately regulating the distance between the alternating rows of incoming product, without no need to resort to the use of passive mechanical systems. Two distribution systems are subsequently used convey the rows into two loaders: these devices are designed according to the principles of Sanitary Design, and

both are equipped with removable trolleys in order to optimize and simplify the cleaning and maintenance of the components, thus providing for considerable time savings. And that’s not all: all the guards installed upon the line are made of transparent Lexan in order to facilitate the inspection of the line’s functionality, as well as to verify the cleanliness of all the systems installed along the line itself. Finally, in order to make routine and scheduled maintenance operations even easier, the system has been rendered accessible from both sides: from the operator side, as well as from the opposite side. The downstream portion of the line is made up of two Zero 5 packaging machines, which are equipped with removable crimpers in order to facilitate size changing operations: from full-sized chocolate tablets to 200 g. chocolate bars, everything can be managed with maximum ease. At the ProSweets trade fair in Cologne from January 27th to 30th, guests will have the opportunity to check out a concrete example of the extreme flexibility and adaptability that Cavanna’s solutions are capable of offering the industry.

LIGHTWEIGHT AND VERSATILE, THE MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS OF EPS PACKAGING

The wide range of physical/mechanical properties and the superb flexibility of Expanded Polystyrene to the most diverse needs provide competitive solutions, both economically and environmentally, to the problems of packaging, which can vary greatly according to level of protection required for products.

Thermal Insulating Containers The outstanding and peculiar characteristic of EPS to preserve food and beverage enable freshness extension of food for a long period of time, thus limiting temperature ranges of the packaged products. The usage of EPS ranges from fish boxes to ice-cream containers, passing through the little-known take away disposable cups and mozzarella boxes; the main parameters to be considered here are temperature and how to keep the right one. The high insulating capacity which characterizes expanded polystyrene (EPS) is crucial to satisfy the requirements of isothermal containers, which can keep packaged products in the best and constant temperature conditions. The capacity of a material to conduct heat is commonly expressed by the measure of “thermal conductivity” (λ): the lower this value, the better its insulating capacity. If we compare the thermal conductibility value of EPS (about 0.035 W/mK), with the value of other conventional packaging materials, we realize that EPS is an ideal material to manufacture packaging which must ensure thermal insulation. The peculiar thermal insulating properties of EPS combined with hygiene and safety features (it is resistant to fungi and bacteria) makes it ideal to be used, for example, to keep a perishable product such as seafood in a

AIPE FP.indd 3

evenly fresh environment for the time needed to send it to the market. Moreover EPS is inert to fats, salts, acids and its closed cell structure prevent water or any other liquid from being absorbed.

Fish Boxes Available in a variety of custom molded shapes (boxes, containers, trays, plateaus, etc) EPS is the most popular material for seafood products, which remains a major food industry sector in which EPS dominates with many thousand of tons used, replacing wood almost completely, thus satisfying the strict regulations in force, both at a European and at a national level. This is possible mainly thanks to three fundamental roles which EPS fulfils simultaneously: insulating protection, hygienic protection and anti-shock protection. EPS effectively retards balance with room temperature and ensure to keep optimal thermal conditions for the packaged goods. Fish maintains its qualities and freshness and is not subject to thermal shocks, thus preserving from abrupt temperature changes that may alter it. EPS boxes for seafood packing/packaging are waterproof and ensure product protection against contamination, keeping it in satisfactory hygienic conditions. Moreover they are designed so as to facilitate drainage of meltwater,

as required by the regulations in force. As for the latter aspect, fish boxes are designed in two ways: › The box base has a separated compartment, serving as a collection system, so that meltwater, or even the physiological fluids of fish, can percolate there and do not come into contact with the product. Therefore the product lays on a surface having some cracks/splits of a reduced size (which does not compromise their performances) suitable to the aim. › The internal lining is manufactured with special material to absorb the melted ice and other liquids for the necessary time. The current EPS boxes are manufactured by using the technique of surface crystallization, a production technology involving different products, which provides a better surface finishing, both as for mechanical resistance and hygiene and easier cleaning. These are extremely relevant aspects for the compliance to the strict existing reference standards found in this field of application.

Ice-cream Containers For takeaway ice-creams and frozen cakes, both for handicrafts and industrial products, a consistent range of EPS thermal insulating containers is available on the market, in different shapes and types: there are containers that can be stacked, which facilitates storage in ice-cream shops, saving on space, or others coming in various shapes (flower, small case, etc…) providing attractiveness and packaging design to the end product. Different finishing of containers can be obtained: smooth, rough, mat, decorated or embossed surfaces, according to different specifications and requirements. Such a wide range of customized products offers endless options in terms of appearance and communication. The transfer phases are the most critical moments and the use of EPS containers can better solve the problem of transporting the ice-cream from cold storage of the sales point (display fridge of the ice-cream shop for example) to the fridge-refrigerator of your home. The most widespread containers are made up of two components: one EPS molded and a thermoformed part in crystal polystyrene (PS), intended to contain the foodstuff, later introduced or directly glued to the first one during the manufacturing stage. The “crystallization” technology has been recently introduced for ice-cre-

am containers also.

Bottle Containers (oil/wine cellars) EPS is also used to manufacture interesting types of bottle packaging: versatile containers, with an innovative and modern look, to transport

AIPE FP.indd 4

WEIGHING

any type of bottle (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Rhenish, Champagne, as well as round and square oil bottles). In this case expanded polystyrene is no longer a primary packaging (since it does not come into contact with the food-beverage) while it turns into a practical bottle-holder: the packaging is extremely handy, which ensures goods protection and thanks to its insulating properties, it preserves wine and oil from abrupt changes in temperature (remember that the

packaging can always be personalized by using silk-screen printing). Different solutions are available on the market, with the most diverse models according to the customers needs: gift packages characterized by an elegant design, providing single packaging for 1 or 2 bottles, or bottle holder systems which can receive up to 6 bottles, handy, resistant and suitable for big shipments. Finally real “display/packaging” are available on the market, that is systems that package products, allow their handling and they are then turned into a display to be used on the point of sale. This new concept of handling (the packaging which displays) can be used with all the items c onnected to world of mass retailing and in particular preserves, oil, beverage, pasta, cakes, gifts and fancy goods.

EPS is widely used in the fruit and vegetable industry, since its features are well suited to the operating, trading and communication needs of the sector, thus making it a packaging product useful for collection and preservation, for shipment and transport, for retailing and display. EPS provides actually a robust and protective packaging which can reduce logistic damage and the consequent deterioration of food and at the same time able to keep its freshness and nutritional values. According to some studies, fruit and vegetable products, especially in the mass distribution, are subject to packaging damage (on the average, 30 to 45% of more than 80,000 tons of fruits and vegetables packaged in one yean in US proved to be damaged) and for this reason some international research institutes carried out analysis by comparing different types of packaging to optimize the transport of fruit and vegetable products and reduce the relevant bruises. EPS packaging proved to be the best, thus showing that EPS can keep nutritional values of these delicate products. (Studies carried out on apples, pears, grapes, marrows, cucumbers, tomatoes).

APPE CELEBRATES HORNERS’ RECOGNITION

W

e APPE’s ThermaLite® hot-fill and pasteurisable PET jar has been chosen as the winner of the prestigious Horners Bottlemakers Award for 2013. Established in 2002, the award is run jointly by the Worshipful Company of Horners (an ancient Livery Company of the City of London) and the British Plastics Federation (BPF). It celebrates innovation in the manufacture of a plastic bottle, jar or hollow container by any process, with significant UK content in design, manufacture and materials, and a proven record of commercial success. The ThermaLite® jar can withstand filling and processing temperatures of up to 95oC and offers food manufacturers and retailers a variety of convenience and sustainability benefits over more traditional packaging formats such as glass. In terms of sustainability, the jar is up to 85% lighter than glass equivalents with a smaller footprint, delivering huge savings in transport costs both before and after filling. It is also fully recyclable. In addition, the jar uses less energy during the filling process, as well as reducing noise levels and avoiding the risk of breakages on the line.

APPE FP 5/13.indd 3

Equally important, the lightweight shatterproof construction means safety and convenience throughout the supply chain and in the home. For consumers, it provides easy handling and pouring, and its standard metal twist-off closure ensures easy opening and closing. For retailers and brand owners, meanwhile, the clarity of the PET creates excellent on-shelf impact for a wide range of products including cooking sauces, pesto, tomato-based products, pickled vegetables, relishes chutneys, and fruit purées, jams and spreads. Furthermore, thanks to the jar’s smaller footprint compared to glass, more units can be incorporated into the same shelf space, while its shatter-resistance offers new opportunities for product placement, for example close to the chill cabinet. “As well as demonstrating innovative and detailed product design, the jud-

ges felt that the jar showed good process innovation and control,” explains David A Williams, Chairman of the Horners Awards Committee. The ThermaLite® jar has already won a number of awards this year. It was named as one of Spain’s top 100 ideas by Actualidad Económica magazine and received two Highly Commended certifications in the Starpack Awards, in the Food, and Environment & Sustainability categories. “The success and recognition that ThermaLite® has achieved to date demonstrate the impact the jar has made on the market, providing a more modern pack format that also offers excellent branding opportunities alongside valuable sustainable and practical benefits,” comments APPE’s Business Development Director Mike Hanratty. ThermaLite® is currently available in four sizes from 370ml to 720ml in round and octagonal designs, with further shapes and sizes in development.

Sustainability is demonstrated in practice at BUERGO.FOL

B

UERGO.FOL, the renowned manufacturer of flexible films, rigid films, reclosable films, skin films, and shrink films for the food industry and for numerous technical applications, is increasingly focusing on sustainable packaging systems. The film manufacturer therefore not only pledges to realize real and verifiable protection of the environment, but also translates this concept into action. Saving resources and recycling while maintaining its renowned product quality are the goals declared by the company headquartered in Siegenburg, Germany, in the lower Bavarian district of Kelheim.

1. Are the current bioplastics really sustainable? Everyone uses the term „sustainable“ today, but due the extremely widespread use of this term, especially in the packaging industry, very few people actually know what is meant by this term. Wikipedia says the following: „Sustainability is the capacity to endure. For humans, sustainability is the long-term maintenance of responsibility, which has environmental, economic, and social dimensions, and encompasses the concept of stewardship, the responsible management of resource use. In ecology, sustainability describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time, a necessary precondition for human well-being. Longlived and healthy wetlands and forests are examples of sustainable biological systems.“ [1]. All too quickly now - under the guise of „sustainability“ – companies are bridging the gap to the use of renewable raw materials in the production of films, the manufacture of biologically degradable films, and to the natural cycle by subsequent composting of the films or packaging. It is a very

BUERGOFOL FP 3-13.indd 3

good and well-rounded concept that will surely forge its own path in the future. However, in the year 2013 this concept will not yet become complete because when you take a critical look behind the green curtain, you will see numerous corners and edges. For example, the raw material polylactic acid (PLA) is a renewable resource, but it is unfortunately manufactured today in the USA based on genetically modified corn. It is unthinkable to use this PLA in films and packaging in many European countries, and especially in Switzerland. The exact same criticism applies to the heavily advertised compostability of packaging made using biomaterials, which can even be certified according to DIN EN 13432 [2]. Only a few packages and bags land in (industrial) compost – just like before, they continue to be fed to incinerators [3]. Experts in the field of biopolymers also expressly recommend their incineration [4]. Furthermore, there is not any method available for recycling biomaterials. In contrast: If large amounts of PLA were to be sent to the recycling plant, then the raw materials would contaminate the waste stream and make other recycled plastics unmar-

ketable. Based on a report from the experts at Euwid, the Petcore organization views the recycling of PET bottles to be at risk. Even a small market share of PLA could lead to a serious disruption of the infrastructure for recycling PET bottles in Europe.“ [5]. Another setback in relation to the use of biopolymers for packaging arose at the beginning of 2013: Until the end of the year 2012 biodegradable packagings made from renewable raw materials were exempted from the DSD fees. This “promotion” ends from the beginning of the year 2013 [6]. As the European Bioplastics has announced in June 2012, further amendments of the German Biowaste Ordinance lead to restrictions, that not all “biopackaging” may be disposed of in the brown bin [7]. The entire system of biopolymers based on renewable materials is evidently still in its infancy. There are only a few suppliers, and they often have a monopoly in the market. Even in terms of the properties of the materials, films made of biopolymers cannot measure up yet to established products manufactured on a petrochemical basis because in many cases they are still too

21/06/13 09.52

PACKAGING LABELLING

brittle, sensitive to water, temperaturesensitive (below 60°C for PLA based biopolymers), poor-sealing (for cellulose-based), difficult to process, and do not function as a barrier. BUERGO.FOL Managing Director Gregor Schleicher does not see the end of the possibilities for biopolymers by a long shot yet. Without the support of petroleum-based polymers, it is impossible to achieve the properties in films and packaging that customers are accustomed to. In addition, Schleicher also expressed moral considerations regarding the manufacturing of plastics using food intended for humans and livestock. In summary, it can be said that this still does not justify the high price for films made of biomaterials. Very few consumers are willing to pay for them because they are not convinced yet of the advantages of packaging made of biomaterials and are even confused and insecure about their use due to the continuous flood of new organic logos and controversial public discussions. It may take many years before bioplastics, praised as

being renewable and sustainable, and the products produced using them become a serious alternative to petroleum-based plastics. BUERGO.FOL is monitoring these developments very closely, but only after the concept of renewable resources is sensible and consistent in all aspects will consumers be willing to accept them.

2. Real Sustainability In the meantime, BUERGO.FOL is following and realizing a different path to more sustainable products. As a pioneer in Germany, the company has been offering foamed APET films in thicknesses ranging from 300 to 800 μ under the new brand name „BUERGO.PET expanded“ for some time now. These films are produced on the ultramodern facilities available at the site in Ingolstadt, Germany. The weight of the foamed film is approximately 30% lower in comparison to that of conventional APET films. This results in significant material savings, and therefore to a more sustainable use of natural resources. BUERGO.PET expanded has

a very high mechanical strength and is perfectly suited for use as a deep draw film on all common thermoforming and packaging machines, even on older models. This means processors of the film and packagers using the film can still use their existing machines without having to retrofit them, and they can even continue working with their standard machine settings. The thermal formability is also much better in comparison to non-foamed films as well. For example, extremely deep recesses can be formed without requiring the use of a stamp. The structures applied to the thermoforming mold are formed precisely and with detailed contours on the foamed film. Furthermore, the foamed APET film can be cut perfectly – sharp edges and sharp corners are a thing of the past now. At the same time, wear on the cutting knifes is minimized. The foaming effect also provides other advantages in addition to the advantage of a reduction in weight: due to the insulating effect, the keeping quality of the packaged product improves as well. Visually, the foam structure is very appealing and attractive, and the film and packaging feel soft and smooth in your hand while still providing a good grip. This provides an additional incentive to the consumers at the point of sale to purchase the product. In addition, BUERGO.PET expanded is also available in various colours, and the film can be printed with excellent results, which means it is possible to realize new and individual packaging ideas as eye-catchers on the shelves and ideal product presentations. The innovative foam films based on polyester are therefore superbly suited for the manufacture of trays, tablets, pans, plates, dishes, and cups for the food area as well as for the non-food area. Their use for packaging foods such as meats and sausages, cheese, snack items, fish and seafood, poultry, baked goods and ready-made meals on the one hand, and for consumer and industrial goods such as hygiene products, household goods, office sup-

plies, electronics on the other hand, must be particularly emphasized. The combination of stackability and slippage resistance in the packaging is guaranteed.

Composite Films Just like before, the new foamed APET films can also be bonded to a laminate with barrier films from the BUERGO. FOL company in an additional refinement step. The bond is strong and permanent. Delamination does not occur in top films or in bottom films. By selecting suitable laminating films, it is possible to vary the barrier properties for oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapour as well the opening characteristics of the packaging. The spectrum ranges from tight sealed packaging to packaging that is especially easy to open, i.e. easy to peel. As a whole, this allows the realization of customized packaging, and the film specialists from Bavaria are ready to meet the demands and requirements of manufacturers, retailers, and consumers.

4. Savings Sustainable development will be part of the future of the packaging market. In times of heavy pricing pressure, the economical use of resources will become more important than ever. The following table shows the potential savings in packaging by comparing the foamed APET film BUERGO.PET expanded with the non-foamed BUERGO. PET film. The table shows how much packaging material weight can be saved when using the foamed film. In addition to the cost savings in material and the lower transportation costs Typical bottom film

resulting from the lower packaging weight, it is also necessary to consider the not-so-insignificant savings in DSD (dual refuse system) fees for the „Green Point“ system. Particularly noteworthy in this context is the fact that the foamed APET sheet BUERGO.PET expanded is mainly produced with recycled materials. This results in a very low value for the carbon footprint (kg of CO2 eq. / kg polymer) in a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and a considerable saving of energy.

5. Summary and Outlook The new, verifiably sustainable concept from BUERGO.FOL, who has already realized the production and sales of foamed APET films in the BUERGO. PET expanded product class, also offers a whole range of advantages on the product side: • Excellent processing characteristics on existing machines • Appealing look and feel • Outstanding mechanical properties In comparison to other plastics, Gregor Schleicher, Managing Director of the BUERGO.FOL GmbH, stated the fol-

lowing: „In comparison to polypropylene PP, the foamed APET film stands out due to is significantly better processing properties, higher plant effectiveness, and lower energy consumption. Compared to polystyrene PS, BUERGO. PET expanded has significantly better mechanical properties with comparable recyclability.“ One of the reasons why the marketing of foamed APET film is now being advanced is the fact that weight savings of up to 30% are possible in packaging and that the packaging material show a very good LCA-value. This responsible handling of resources is environmentally friendly since it reduces the overall energy consumption and CO2 emissions. This and other sustainable concepts will be more intensely pursued in the future at BUERGO. FOL because this company is aware of responsibility for the environment and for the living conditions of future generations.

INSTANT COFFEE, A THRIVING MARKET

I.C.F. & Welko Special Plants has developed a coffee process technology which allows to supply tailor-made production plants

W

orld coffee market has huge dimensions, second only to oil, and is growing constantly. Besides the traditional roast & ground coffee, soluble and instant product ready to dissolve in water accounts for a big part of this market. I.C.F. & Welko, next to its classic production of dryers and agglomerators for the food industry, can supply complete turnkey lines for the production of soluble and instant coffee. The first step of the process is the cleaning of green coffee that usually comes in bags that contain, besides the raw coffee, also foreign materials like stones, ropes, nails, etc. The beans can then be separated according to the dimensions and stored. The second step of the process is the roasting. During this phase, there is the development of the

ICF & WELKO FP.indd 3

flavours that will give the characteristic drink taste. According to preferences and final market, it is possible to have a light or dark roast to get the desired taste. Next step, the liquor extraction, is crucial to get a good quality and yield of the final product. In this phase, the coffee is suitably ground and loaded into special percolators. Water at high pressure and temperature flows through these cells, which are connected in a raw producing the coffee liquor. Coffee aroma is made of delicate and volatile components which, if not preserved, are easily lost during the process, so the next phase is called aroma recovery and includes equipment to save the gentle distinguishing notes of a good cup of coffee. The fifth step of the process involves the concentration of the coffee liquor. The aim of this phase is to decrease the amount of water in the most economical way while at the same time obtaining a solid content suitable to have a good drying operation. The transformation of concentrated coffee liquor into powder happens during the next spray-drying phase. At the end of this step, the soluble coffee powder is formed. Even if it is quite common to call soluble coffee powder with the term “instant coffee�, this product tends to float on the surface of water forming lumps that need vigorous mixing to be completely dissolved. To obtain a really instant product, the coffee powder has to go throu-

gh the last phase of the process: the agglomeration. In this step, the powder particles are bound to form porous granules that are instantly soluble in liquids. Always aimed at studying new technologies, I.C.F. & Welko has recently developed and applied the freeze-drying process to coffee. This technology allows to obtain an instant product of exceptional quality, since coffee liqueur dehydration takes place under vacuum at very low temperature, and this makes sure that all the aromatic substances can be preserved. I.C.F. & Welko has developed a coffee process technology that allows to supply tailor-made production plants, able to get a very high yield coupled with an exceptional final product quality. The original solutions applied in all the steps of the process make these plants extremely flexible and easy to operate thanks to high automation levels.

RELIABILITY AND EFFICIENCY, KEY FACTORS FOR ZAMBELLI

Z

ambelli Srl was founded in 1969 as a company to manufacture packaging machines in the mechanical deep-rooted tradition of the city of Bologna, famous worldwide as “Packaging Valley”. In a few years the success of the technological solutions adopted has crossed the Italian borders and created a customer base of international renown. Zambelli today range of machines is composed by: › shrinkwrapping machines › tray-packers › cartoners › case packers › pick & place and robotized palletizer . The beverage industry has always

ZAMBELLI FP 3/13.indd 3

been the primary market for Zambelli. Since the introduction of the PET bottles, beverage volumes have dramatically increased along with new designs of light weight bottles, with reliability and efficiency of the machines becoming a must for every successful bottler . Zambelli took up eagerly this challenge since its machine design was developed to measure up to the expectations of operators and maintenance personnel who test reliability and efficiency every day and ultimately make the success of a piece of machinery and a manufacturer. Zambelli have followed this efficiency-seeking approach with its

LFT series of Tray-Packers/Shrinkwrappers starting from the engineering of the frame, featuring a cantilever design that allows the operator total control of and accessibility to all areas of the machine. The frame is also designed so that all the parts that need lubrication are gathered in the back side of the machine. This hygienic design maintains separation between the lubricated parts and the parts in contact with the bottles. In addition to these benefits built in the frame itself of the LFT series of Tray-packers/Shrink-wrapping machine, Zambelli has also given its machines features that allow following advantages: › reduced change over time

03/12/13 11.11

PLANTS

› “user friendly” approach › reduced machine footprint › reduced maintenance costs › higher production efficiency › better quality of the shrunk packs All these advantages have been obtained through up-to-date technological solutions to operate and control the machine cycle but also thanks to the Zambelli design with less moving parts hence less wear and adjustments, an extensive field testing and the standardization of functional groups on several machine models to extend to a wide range of machines the benefits in

ZAMBELLI FP 3/13.indd 4

EQUIPMENT

terms of reliability and efficiency brought by every innovation. Examples of this development are: › bottle separation system which allows to pack bottles of any format and diameter on the same machine while maintaining optimal performance conditions. › wrapping bar assembly without drive chains. This group has no part subject to lubrication or wear, total accessibility, operation with no resistance and can be immediately reset in case of an e-stop. › tunnel metal mesh belt without side drive chains; the removal of

these chains that are highly sensible to the cyclic heating and cooling through the tunnel has reduced to zero the maintenance of all the tunnel. The stretching of the mesh belt is in fact automatically compensated for by a counter weight assembly. › powered servo driven film unwinding system preventing any film stretching when pulled from the roll › allows a dramatic reduction of the film thickness with significant material savings for the end user. Furthermore the absence of stretching of the film increases the accuracy of the centering of the printed film on the bundle. Zambelli’s research has also tackled energy consumption for film shrinking and aesthetic improvement of the shrink pack. Zambelli unique energy saving heating tunnel design has obtained

perfectly shaped packs without wrinkles by a tunnel of reduced length hence reducing thermal waste and machine footprint . Zambelli “user friendly” technology with less moving parts in the machine has a dramatic impact on reducing time needed for installation and commissioning, training customer’s personnel and carry out scheduled maintenance. All together these features reduce the machine’s total cost of ownership (TCO) that is the ultimate customer’s goal. These are only some of the innovative features shared by all the Zambelli LFT series Tray-packers and Shrink-wrapping machines, throughout the widest range of capacity available from 15 up to 150 cycles per minute and capable of running product in film only, pad + film or tray+film style. Zambelli certainly have the right machine to help you driving down your production costs!

ZAMBELLI FP 3/13.indd 6

EQUIPMENT

An example of performance and good results of the LFT series is the recent Zambelli machines installed by Eko-Vit, Poland and by Drogheria & Alimentari Spa, Italy Zambelli has installed at Eko-Vit Poland a perfect example of their design philosophy: the Zambelli LFT70/V Tray-packer/Shrink-wrapper running at 70 cycles per minute fed with cans -150ml, 250ml, 296ml, 330ml, 355ml, 500ml and glass bottles 275ml and 300ml. Great flexibility with so different product formats handled on the same machine! The Zambelli in-feed conveyor is purposely designed to allow quick change over just by sliding side guides with preset positions for the three different formats that can be fed to the machine (hi-cones, multipacks and loose cans). The Zambelli LFT70/V Tray-packer/ Shrink-wrapper is pre-arranged to produce also pad+film or film only,

a great feature to respond to future requests from the market. The machine cycle is controlled by Siemens PLC and a 15” touchscreen PC allows the operator to easily monitor all the phases of the machine working cycle thanks to a graphic diagnostic system. The Zambelli LFT 20s installed by Drogheria & Alimentari Spa, Italy, equipped with a Toshiba Scara robot is a further example of great flexibility offered by the LFT series. Plastic or glass jars ranging from round to bulge to taper are packed in 6 packs, with shrink film unsupported, tray+film or in a full wraparound case. Three different packages available on the same machine with the robot loading the jars into the machine for packing with virtually no change over. Zambelli is happy to welcome customers at the Drinktec Munich Stand no. 335 – A6 and at the Las Vega Pack Expo ’13 stand S-6214.

KEY TECHNOLOGY INTRODUCES THE VITISORT™ WINE GRAPE SORTER FOR MOG REMOVAL

K

ey Technology introduces VitiSort™, a new sorter designed for red wine grapes. This compact system, which combines a patent-pending mechanical MOG (material other than grape) removal shaker and optical sorting with an integral juice recovery system, offers world-class sorting performance at a unique level of affordability. As the lowest cost optical sorting system on the market, VitiSort helps wineries improve their product quality while redirecting labor to other tasks. Ideal for wineries producing 5,000 to 50,000 cases per year, VitiSort sorts up to 5 tons (4.5 metric tons) of red grapes per hour. The system removes any unwanted objects such as insects, skins, raisins, shot berries, stem jacks, petioles, leaves, and other MOG from the product flow, which enables the winery to better control the quality of must going to their fermentation tanks. Key conducted several successful full-season field trials with wineries in various growing regions in North America, Europe, and Australia to verify the effectiveness of VitiSort. Pepper Bridge Winery and Chateau Ste. Michelle are among the wineries that have used VitiSort for more than one vintage. “With its MOG shaker and optical sorter combined, VitiSort is very effective at improving the quality of our must. If it’s not removed, MOG will release a bitterness – a harsh tannin – to the wine. Removing the non-grape attributes like this will improve the quality of our wine,” said Jean-François Pellet, Winemaker at Pepper Bridge Winery. “Thanks to this system, we’re able to receive, sort, and crush 3 12 tons of grapes per hour with only four workers. One

is overseeing the operation, one is feeding product to the system, and two are sorting out leaves before the destemmer. It’s hard to say how many people we would need without VitiSort – maybe 15 or 20, I’m not sure – but it’s virtually impossible to achieve this high level of MOG removal at the volume we’re doing with manual labor.” Ray McKee, the Red Winemaker for Chateau Ste. Michelle added, “With Key’s VitiSort, we’re removing 99.9 percent of the MOG while sorting 4 to 5 tons of grapes per hour with two and a half workers. The effectiveness of the technology allows us to use machine-picked grapes and put only berries and pure juice into fermentation. It gives us exceptional quality control to end up with a very rich and dense wine that doesn’t have the tannin from green stems and leaves.” The stainless steel VitiSort is compact and mobile, designed to easily

roll into position under the destemmer so fruit automatically flows from one machine to the other. The twostage VitiSort features a mechanical MOG removal system followed by an optical sorter. First, a vibratory conveyor gently shakes the grapes to separate MOG, which falls through uniquely designed slots in the shaker’s screen, along with juices. MOG is accumulated on a sloped surface for easy disposal, while the juices are recovered for reintroduction to the must. Singulated grapes freefall from the end of the vibratory conveyor into the sorter, presenting a “sheet” of product that allows a camera to inspect each grape. A specially designed drip tray keeps juice out of the camera lineof-sight. The sorter quickly analyses the images, comparing each object to previously defined accept/reject standards. When unwanted objects are identified, the sorter activates the

18/11/13 16.23

PLANTS

ejector system, which is made up of a series of air jets that span the width of the system. While still air-borne, the air jets pinpoint MOG to reject and remove it from the product stream. Grapes are discharged from the sorter into a trough or screw conveyor for delivery to the fermentation tank. “The MOG shaker is very effective at removing insects and shot berries, which reduces the load on the optical sorter and improves its performance. The optical sorter takes out stem jacks and other MOG,” added Pellet. “It’s a very simple, gravity-fed system. Since it has no belts, it’s easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to maintain.” Compared to sorters that feature horizontal belts to inspect product on a horizontal plane, Key’s VitiSort inspects product on a vertical plane

EQUIPMENT

to dramatically simplify the operation while achieving the same results. VitiSort offers a smaller footprint, improved sanitation with the elimination of belts, gentle handling with fewer transitions, and a new level of affordability. Compared to manual inspection, VitiSort improves the consistency of MOG removal to better control the quality of the must going to fermentation tanks, while reducing labor costs. VitiSort can do the work of 8 to 12 people or more. The yield loss associated with VitiSort is only 2 to 4 percent, depending on the grape variety and the effectiveness of the destemmer. Key designed ease of use into every aspect of VitiSort. A color touchscreen control panel features a graphical user interface

where the winemaker can adjust the sort parameters to remove more or less MOG to meet his exact needs. Product settings can be stored and retrieved. Open access to the MOG collection area eases its removal while stainless steel construction eases sanitation. VitiSort can function alone with the destemmer or combined with Key’s Grape Receiving and Inspection Platform (GRIP) upstream of the destemmer. VitiSort builds off Key’s 65 years as an innovative designer of world-class food processing equipment and expertise in sorting and vibratory conveying. VitiSort is based on Key’s sixth generation sorting technology, which has been fieldproven at thousands of demanding food processing plants around the world.

NEW TECHNOLOGY OFFERS ENHANCED HOT-FILL PERFORMANCE PET packaging solutions specialist APPE has further enhanced its range of bottles for hot-fill food and beverages with the introduction of a technology that delivers improved filling, greater design flexibility, lighter weight and smoother walls. Launched after an 18 month development period, the new Active Hinge for APPE’s Heat Set bottle range features a multiple ribs design that the company says produces bottles that are 30% lighter than existing technology while delivering an enhanced performance in two key areas. Firstly, the ribs provide additional rigidity to the container to counteract the pressure caused by the filling and cooling processes. Equally important, the ribs contract after cooling, absorbing the vacuum that remains inside the bottle and further controlling deformation. The ribs also help to increase topload strength. As well as lighter weight bottles, which reduces raw material usage, the panel-less design creates a more modern look with smoother, sleeker lines that also improve label application and appearance. APPE Heat Set bottles are manufactured with the company’s purpose-designed resin and produced using a specialised blowing process which adds strength and rigidity to the PET molecular structure. The bottles can have an amorphous or crystallised finish and be filled at temperatures up to 85°C, depending on filling conditions. They offer a range of finish/neck sizes and widths and are suitable for a variety of applications such as juices, isotonic drinks and sauces.

AVERY DENNISON CLEANFLAKE™ PORTFOLIO WITH ‘SWITCHABLE’ ADHESIVE ADDRESSES MAJOR RECYCLING CHALLENGE

A

new Avery Dennison film and adhesive portfolio being introduced at Labelexpo 2013 has been designed to make PET recycling far more effective. With more than two billion PET containers a year failing to enter the recycling stream, finding a way to recycle them without contamination is an extremely important industry goal. Avery Dennison CleanFlake™ is a patent-pending adhesive technology that “switches off” when submerged in a recycling bath so the label cleanly separates from the PET flakes. Although these labels adhere firmly to PET bottles or containers during use, they detach readily in a conventional recycling facility and float to the surface of the bath, allowing clean PET flakes to sink to the bottom. “Recycled PET (rPET) is a valuable and saleable material in its own right, but this solution is also important because recycling leads to major reductions in the amount of material going to landfill, as well as delivering significant greenhou-

se emission savings,” says Eric Ide, segment manager, beer and beverage, Avery Dennison Label and Packaging Materials – Europe. “Our new technology removes a significant barrier to effective PET recycling while offering the same quality, clarity and performance as conventional label materials.” The CleanFlake portfolio uses a clear or white BOPP film face stock, anchored by the new switchable SR3010 adhesive. No new conversion and dispensing procedures or equipment are required, and label quality is the same as when a conventional adhesive is used. The difference only becomes clear at the recycling plant. The pure rPET flakes created through this process are suitable for manufacturers making packaging films and shells. “Our portfolio leverages our expertise in film and adhesives to help recyclers and the beverage industry address one of their most stubborn problems,” said Laura Clark, global beverage marketing director, Avery Dennison Label and

Avery Dennison CleanFlake™ (Bottle-toBottle ) Film portfolio improves the efficiency of PET recycling process thanks to an innovative adhesive and film combination. (Photo: Avery Dennison, PR181) Packaging Materials. “We are working with beverage industry leaders to deliver a certified portfolio that meets aggressive standards for PET up-cycling.”

POTS WITH A DIFFERENCE RPC Bebo Polska has added two unique designs to its range of standard containers for food and non-food applications. The 115mm pots with matching lids offer two distinctive patterned finishes, one with sweeping curved lines, the other a series of squares and triangles, which are different from any other current container designs and therefore enable products to create on-shelf differentiation and distinctive brand identity. Importantly, because the diameter is the same as existing pots currently available, manufacturers can switch to the new designs without any adjustments required to their filling lines.The new containers are available in both PP and PET and can be transparent or produced in a range of colours. Lids can be labelled or offset printed for further personalisation.

Environmental sustainability, innovation and quality/price ratio are what mark these new solutions destined to revolutionize the packaging market. AIRTAPETM: latest generation adhesive tape characterized by a thickness of only 15 microns (market standard 25-28µm). Ideal for multi-sector packaging, it offers numerous advantages: it is ecological (100% recyclable, with lower CO2 emission, reduction in raw material consumption), economical (lower storage and transport costs) and high performance (optimal adhesion, UV-ray resistant, silent and easy in use). Application: cartons, multi sector packaging. Main plus:

Economical › 40% saving due to reduction in raw material consumption › reduction in “eco-taxes” (e.g. Conai) › reduced transport costs – greater quantity and value of goods at comparable weight and volume. Considering a standard pallet consisting of 60 boxes each containing 36rolls of 50mmx66m (28µm), 386kg correspond to 52,000 linear metres more, i.e. 576 rolls of 50mm x 90m (15µm) around 40% more.

Ecological › significant reduction in packaging weight

IRPLAST FP 3-13.indd 3

› reduced CO2 emission to produce film and reduction in raw material consumption › The average (40%) CO2 emissions per kg remains the same, but in absolute figures, and taking into in consideration only the phase to produce Polypropylene granules, the carbon footprint measures around 1.7kg of CO2 per kg of Polypropylene produced, hence the estimated savings from 1 ton of PP are 680kg. Reduced CO2

emissions in the disposal phase too: 1kg of Polypropylene produces 6kg of CO2 during disposal, therefore to dispose of 10kg of adhesive tape 24kg of CO2 less are produced. › recyclable

Efficient › possibility of longer rolls at comparable weight and diameter fewer changes and reduced storage space

Typically, the hot wort will be cooled down to 7 to 9°C so that the yeast can ferment efficiently. Most of the breweries use closed cooling systems. A plate heat exchanger (plate cooler) consisting of thin, closely spaced metal plates ensures the rapid cooling. They are alternatively passed through wort and cooling water. This process causes a cold break with tiny particles in the first plain wort. The turbidity has an influence on the velocity of fermentation and maturation, because particles attach themselves to the yeast cells that become smeared. Repeated use of yeast, the cold break

SENSOTECH FP 5/13.indd 3

will be removed to avoid an increasing smearing. In addition, the velocity of fermentation depends on the oxygen content in the wort. The ventilation of the cold wort for increasing yeast occurs only once during the entire beer production with a targeted oxidation. Sterile air is atomized finely and mixed with cold wort in a turbulent manner. The oxygen consumption is caused by the yeast and does not influence the wort quality. When the cold wort leaves the cooling chamber, the actual beer production with fermentation, maturation and filtration is taking place. Before starting this process, an inline measurement of cold wort concentration is offered for ensuring process safety and optimal wort quality. In addition, the inline measurement provides a reliable wort-water-separation in case of rinsing processes. In order to cope with these tasks, the Colbitzer Heidebrauerei decided to use the inline measuring

Immersion type sensor and controller of the inline measuring system “LiquiSonic® Plato“ system called LiquiSonic® Plato manufactured by the company SensoTech. In this case, an immersion type sensor with Varivent connection was installed after the cooler directly in a DN50 pipe by meeting the requirements of hygienic and bypass-free installation. (picture 1) “Before mixing the wort with yeast („pitching“), it is important to check the original gravity content again due to quality reasons. If this is ensured, the beer production can run in the fermenting room. Additionally, valuable liter of beer can be gained by detecting an overdosing, explains Brew Master, Birgit Diesing. “But also the exact phase separation of first and last running is mandatory.” The immersion type sensor of the LiquiSonic® Plato system is completely made of stainless steel and is working maintenance-free for a long period. A special highly efficient technology provides reliable measuring values even at high contents of gas bubbles. The determination of concentration is based on the sonic veloci-

SENSOTECH FP 5/13.indd 4

ty measurement that guarantees a precise, drift- and failure-free measurement. With the help of a proven mathematic model, it is possible to calculate precisely the wort concentration resulting from the value of sonic velocity. The controller included in the system performs the calculation. Controller and sensor are connected via a bus cable, whereas the controller can handle up to four sensors and so four measuring points can be connected. Further inline measurements of original gravity are possible, for example, at the lauter tun, wort boiler, filter or filler. (picture 2) The controller visualizes the measuring data and is used for making settings and configurations done by the user. The TFT color display with high contrast enables an intuitive and clearly structured menu navigation. Calibration can also be performed, even by remote access to the controller via modem or Internet. This remote access option allows the user to monitor and configure the system from everywhere.

The controller can manage up to 256 types of beer with the appropriate calculation models. For each type of beer, it is possible to define a tolerance range with displaying an alarm in case of exceeding the limits. When connecting the controller to the PCS, measures can be taken afterwards. Process trends can be monitored with the trend view provided by the device. It is connected to data log that stores up to 15,000 datasets. Therefore, processes and measuring values are documented traceably and can be analyzed afterwards. The Colbitzer Heidebrauerei installed a controller with a stainless steel housing. “Not only the high measuring accuracy of ± 0.05 °Pl and the reliability of LiquiSonic® Plato convinced us, but also the user friendliness. After installation of the sensor, the controller showed immediately the actual wort concentration. We are so satisfied that we decided to install further measuring points, for example, at the filler for monitoring and controlling the phase separation“, emphasizes Birgit Diesing.

NEW SIDEL RIGHTWEIGHT™ PET WATER BOTTLE RESULTS IN LESS WEIGHT AND GREAT CONSUMER EXPERIENCE

S

idel has introduced a new 0.5 litre PET bottle for still water called RightWeight™, which can result in significantly less weight while maintaining or increasing bottle performance, without compromising on product quality, while still maintaining a great consumer experience. The new RightWeight bottle weighs just 7.95 grams yet offers top-load performance of 33 kilograms without nitrogen dosing, using standard 26/22 caps. The increased resistance of the RightWeight bottle helps eliminate the ‘over squeeze’ issue often experienced by end consumers when using ultra-light bottles, which can result in the spilling of contents unintentionally. Increased resistance also makes it easier for consumers to unscrew the cap and open the bottle. In addition, the stronger resistance means the RightWeight bottle is more likely to travel across the supply chain and retain its original attractive appearance when it is placed on a super-

market shelf in front of the consumer. “Beverage producers are increasingly striving to unlock the value of a PET bottle across their entire supply chain, from concept to consumer,” explains Christophe Bunel, Head of Packaging Care & Development at Sidel. “To achieve this, a bottle must be lighter, of course, but also stay attractive, protect the beverage and ensure high consumer satisfaction. At Sidel we call this ‘rightweighting’. It’s no longer about simply reducing the plastic content. Our new RightWeight bottle is designed to reduce bottle weight, and also save energy during production, improve bottle performance across the supply chain, without compromising on product quality, and result in a far better consumer experience for such a light bottle.” Compared with an average of 12 grams for commercial 0.5 litre water bottles available on the market today, the 7.95 gram bottle represents 34% less weight than the average commercial bottle. It also achieves 32% more topload performance than the lightest commercial bottle, resulting in rawmaterial cost savings of up to EUR 1.75 million per year, according to Sidel data. The Sidel’s new RightWeight™ 0.5 litre bottle for still water wei- blowing pressure ghs just 7.95 grams, yet offers a superior consumer expefor the bottle is rience and a top-load performance of 33 kilograms, without also just 20 bars. the need for nitrogen dosing, using standard 26/22 closures. The bottle weighs 34% less than the average commercial In many cases the bottle and achieves 32% more top-load performance than bottles can match the lightest commercial bottle, resulting in cost savings of the top-load performance of nitroup to EUR 1.75 million per year, according to Sidel data.

gen-assisted ultra-lightweight bottles, however without the use of nitrogen, leading to further cost and energy savings. “Typically the goal is to reach 30 kg or more top-load performance to ensure a bottle can withstand the rigours of the supply chain,” adds Bunel. “At this weight most ultralightweight bottles in the market have to achieve this by using nitrogen. The RightWeight bottles can achieve above this without using nitrogen.” For the past year Sidel’s packaging experts analysed and tested many different bottle designs. They then carried out numerous computer simulations followed by real-world physical tests to achieve the perfect geometrical solution for an optimum balance between less weight and strong performance. A key success enabler was the complete redesign and optimisation of the preform done internally by the Sidel team. Part of this new preform design was an evolution of the standard 26/22 neck finish, which has been re-designed to save an extra 15% of weight, while maintaining compatibility with existing standard 26/22 caps. The new RightWeight bottle can therefore be adapted easily to existing production lines that use standard cap formats. Design elements can be adapted for existing or new commercial bottle designs as needed. Accompanying Sidel RightWeight moulds and line conversions can ensure production lines fully unlock the benefits of the new bottle designs. The bottle can be used for all Sidel PET packaging solutions and output speeds for still water, including the new Sidel Matrix™ system for liquid packaging.

DATALOGIC PRESENTA IL NUOVO SENSORE COMPATTO S8 CLEAR DETECTION LASER PER LA RILEVAZIONE PRECISA ED AFFIDABILE DI OGGETTI LUCIDI ANCHE SU SFONDI ALTAMENTE RIFLETTENTI

D

atalogic, leader mondiale nell’ acquisizione automatica dei dati e nell’automazione industriale, ha sviluppato e brevettato una soluzione innovativa per la rilevazione a tasteggio diretto (quindi senza bisogno di riflettori prismatici) di oggetti estremamente riflettenti e trasparenti con inoltre una funzione di soppressione dello sfondo che consente di rendere la rilevazione immune da oggetti o sfondi retrostanti, che possono essere scuri oppure riflettenti come nel caso di superfici metalliche, o addirittura variabili tra queste due condizioni limite. Per consentire di risolvere diversi casi applicativi, Datalogic ha sviluppato due versioni di questo nuovo sensore della serie S8, una con emissione a LED (S8 Clear Detection LED) e un’altra con emissione Laser (S8 Clear Detection LASER), in entrambi casi visibile rossa. La versione con emissione Laser ha una distanza massima di lavoro regolabile da 50 a 150 mm e, grazie al raggio luminoso concentrato in pochi millimetri, consente di effettuare applicazioni di precisione ad elevata risoluzione in condizioni di sfondo fisso, come ad esempio la rilevazione di oggetti altamente riflettenti con il sensore installato sul bordo laterale di un conveyor. La versione con emissione LED, raccomandata per la rilevazione de-

Datalogic FP 5/13.indd 3

gli oggetti trasparenti, ha una maggiore distanza di lavoro regolabile da 100 a 300 mm, con un raggio luminoso che comprende un’area più ampia, ed è indicata per applicazioni con sfondo in movimento, come ad esempio per la rilevazione dall’alto di oggetti posizionati su di un nastro trasportatore o una rulliera. I due modelli consentono dunque di rilevare la più ampia gamma di oggetti trasparenti e più o meno riflettenti, dalle bottiglie in vetro o in PET ai film plastici per il confezionamento, dalle fiale ai blister impiegati in campo farmaceutico e dalle vaschette ai sacchetti utilizzati nel settore alimentare. Le maggiori applicazioni per questi sensori S8-M53 si trovano infatti sulle macchine per la lavorazione e il confezionamento di liquidi, bevande, prodotti alimentari e farmaceutici. Non a caso questi sensori sono disponibili in versione in plastica, ma anche con contenitore in acciaio inossidabile con protezione IP69K e certificato per l’impiego con detergenti industriali secondo Diversey e Ecolab. La serie S8 di sensori fotoelettrici Datalogic nasce per risolvere le applicazioni più critiche di rilevazione nelle macchine automatiche, ovvero tutti quei casi in cui ricorre la parola “troppo” seguita da un aggettivo: trasparente, riflettente, piccolo,

veloce, ecc. Sono infatti disponibili tutti i modelli standard a tasteggio con soppressione dello sfondo, retroriflessione polarizzata e proiettore-ricevitore, così come altri modelli applicativi specifici per le macchine automatiche, come ad esempio il sensore di contrasto con emissione RGB per la rilevazione delle tacche di registro presenti sulle confezioni per sincronizzare le varie operazioni di taglio, formatura, chiusura, ecc. Tra i nuovi sviluppi è previsto un sensore di luminescenza con emissione a LED UV per la rilevazione di tacche fluorescenti, anche invisibili all’occhio umano.

RELIABLE AND CONVENIENT PROCESS MONITORING: COMPREHENSIVE SUPERVISION ENABLES FAST REACTION

M

odern machines and plants are becoming more and more complex. Keeping track of things so you can react appropriately at just the right moment is not always easy. Although all measuring values, status messages, interference signals or exceeded limits are collected in a central location, immediate recognition of situations calling for a fast reaction can be expedient not only in the control center but also on site. That is convenient and also increases process safety because prompt reaction can prevent unplanned machine or plant downtimes or the production of faulty batches. User-friendly measuring equipment with flexibly programmable displays opens up practical options.

Caption: User-friendly measuring equipment with flexibly programmable displays opens up practical process monitoring options. The eye is surely the most important human sensory organ because we can easily assimilate and utilize data that we perceive within split seconds. Baumer has implemented this insight in new process measuring equipment and developed a display suitable for CombiSerie sensors (Figure 1) which enables the user to register relevant data

BAUMER/CCMA FP 2-13.indd 3

quickly, reliably and at a glance, regardless whether it is installed at the device on site or separately from the sensor. So you don’t have to analyze the measuring values first; instead the display tells you when you have to react and/or intervene. The convenient display can currently be used for pressure transmitters and temperature gauges, more sensors will follow. Since the display functions as a stand-alone unit, it can also be combined with other sensors that provide an analog 4...20 mA output signal and retrofitted easily.

Customized alarm management In practical operation the CombiView display basically functions like a traffic light circuit: A clear signal indicates to the staff whether action is required. One look is all you need to see that everything is in order at a gauge. You can choose between many view options or program your own messages in your desired visualization mode. Basically, there are a lot of possbilities. You can select the background color, for example. “Red” is suitable e.g. for values that call for fast reaction. A green background could signal proper operation. Different alarm levels can also be graduated according to color. This change of color, possibly combined with flashing functions, ensures reliable visual perception of important data. Error, warning or alarm messages can also be programmed directly at the device via touch screen or PC using the FlexProgrammer software. This can be performed while

the process is running; even subsequent modifications can easily be implemented.

Caption: Traffic light function: red = act Because tastes vary and the representation of measuring values should naturally be adapted to the respective plant’s requirements as well, the display is flexible also in this regard. Digital as well as analog representation of the values is possible, e.g. as a scale with pointer, bar or column diagram, and the various representation modes and illustrations can be combined as desired (Figure 3). Because the display can also be rotated in two axes by up to 360°, it is visible and accessible from almost any location. The display is 80 mm in diameter so it is easy to read even from a larger distance.

Caption: In the display visual mode, the user can choose from several

different options: analog, digital or illustration. Robust “FlexHousing” housing technology and precise measuring values Like Combi-Serie sensors, the display is also encapsulated in robust stainless steel housing. Featuring a hygienic design and protection class IP69K, it withstands even the toughest conditions so it can be used even where machines or plants are cleaned regularly, e.g. in the food industry. The currently available temperature and pressure gauges come optionally with or without a display. Thanks to the modular system, the display can be retrofitted any time; the “sensor cover” is simply replaced by the display.The new series not only meets the highest requirements with respect to robustness and hygiene but also offers outstanding features in terms of flexibility and precision: The CombiPress pressure gauge has an operating range from -1 to

INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS

400 bar, withstands process temperatures from -40 to +200 °C, and operates with a precision of greater than 0.1% of the measuring range. 4...20 mA, 20...4mA and 4...20 mA HART are available as output signals. The temperature gauge offers similar features. The CombiTemp covers measuring ranges from -50 to +400°C, is available with a fast-reacting measuring tip and achieves a precision of greater than +/- 0.1°C. The measuring value is output either as 4...20 mA, 4...20 MA HART or via Profibus. Both sensors are available with ATEX 3a, FDA as well as EHEDG approval. Depending on the version, they meet protection class IP67 and/or IP69k requirements. Different electrical and mechanical connection options ensure easy process integration. Thanks to the modular system, which will be expanded by further sensors in the future, customized solutions are possible for different

industries. They offer the user not only the required process safety but also make the equipment more user-friendly.

CLOSURE AND CONTAINER MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION WILL BECOME PART OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF BEVERAGE TECHNOLOGISTS The Closure and Container Manufacturers Association (CCMA) will become part of the International Society of Beverage Technologists (ISBT), effective April 1, 2013. A group will be formed with representatives from both organizations to facilitate the transition. “The CCMA board has decided that the time is right to tap into the resources of a larger organization with which we already share several common interests and initiatives. We now look forward to using our collective efforts to tackle key industry issues together,” said Roy Robinson, chairman, CCMA and vice president of business development for Portola Packaging. By joining ISBT, CCMA members now will have access to additional technical support. In turn, they also will be able to share industry guidelines and standards with a larger, more global audience. ISBT also will benefit by additional members with valuable operations and processing knowledge from the manufacturers’ perspective. “We are pleased to welcome CCMA members to ISBT. With their long history of packaging component

BAUMER/CCMA FP 2-13.indd 4

knowledge and issue-based advocacy, their participation will make ISBT an even stronger industry organization,” said Larry Hobbs, executive director, ISBT. Further supporting the rationale for this move is ISBT’s ongoing participation in closure initiatives. For example, the society has had subcommittees working on finish/closure standards for many years. A number of CCMA efforts are already coordinated with ISBT, such as the Threadspecs committee which works on finish standards. “CCMA members also will be able contribute to the ISBT’s university program which offers students basic training on beverage ingredients, quality, processing and packaging,” Hobbs said. The CCMA consists of member companies, while the ISBT is comprised of individual members. Going forward, CCMA member company representatives will be invited to join ISBT as individual members. Key initiatives previously supported by CCMA—including sustainability and recycling—will be integrated into ISBT committees.

MINI MOTOR INTRODUCES NEW HORIZONS IN TERMS OF POWER, PERFORMANCE AND COMPACTNESS

T

he integrated mini gear motors of the Mini Motor XC Series develop a max power of 1 HP in just 288 mm of length: a superb result for a company that has always successfully pursued the goal of reaping maximum performance with the least size. Looking at performance, the most significant figure involves the yield, which is 20% higher compared with gear motors of the same power, the new gear motors by Mini Motor being 30% smaller. Featuring IP65 protection, which will be soon upgraded to IP67, the mini gear motors of the XC Series consist of an asynchronous three-phase motor in closed form with 2 or 4 poles - each with three power levels - with external ventilation, winding class F and power from 0.25 to 0.75 Kw. The gear motor with worm screw in tempered steel has a centre distance of 38 mm and features a case in die-cast aluminium, crown in caro bronze with a hardness of 120-160 HB and seal rings in special, pure rubber to withstand high temperatures; lubrication is provided by a special, additive-enriched and long-lasting oil. The available ratios offer 7 options within a range that extends from 5 to 100, while the rated torque reaches up to 35 Nm. The new DBS servomotors with integrated drive are the true “flagship” of Minimotor’s new production. A series of ultra-compact products in two sizes (55 mm and 80 mm), with a switching panel with power up to 500 W and 2.5 Nm of torque, on-board drive with range bus and an available voltage of 24 and 48 DC. The absolute multi-rev encoder makes for a wider range of position, speed

MINIMOTOR FP 5/13.indd 3

and torque adjustments. As for the range buses, for these devices, the customer can choose between a profibus and canopen, while other bus types will be available in the near future. This series can include a worm screw or planetary reduction unit with minimal play. The other novelties this year, which comes with a host of new solutions, include the brushless servo gear motors MCBS and MCFBS, the ultimate frontier in the modern evolution of worm gear motors, and the refurbished range of drives and frequency converters Drivert and Minivert, which offer a performance/price ratio like none before. The entire range of new products are proof of Minimotor’s endeavour to boost its offer in the several compartments of industrial automation, with a special eye to the strategic field

of food-liquid bottling and packaging. Quality 100% “Made in Minimotor”. All Mini Motor products are entirely designed and manufactured in-house: motor, gears and electronics, yet another guarantee of absolute accuracy and a final quality that excludes any connecting or interfacing hassle and any drop in performance, which can occur when assembling motors and gear motors manufactured externally. This manufacturing choice, which is in line with a well-defined corporate philosophy, allows Mini Motor not only to offer a product that is truly unique for its quality, design and performance, but especially alternative solutions to current market standards, with devices built to custom based on the customer’s specifications, even when dealing with applications in particularly troublesome or taxing conditions.

QUADRANT LAUNCHES BROADEST RANGE OF EU 10/2011 COMPLIANT STOCK SHAPES FOR FOOD INDUSTRY

Q

uadrant Engineering Plastic Products (EPP) has updated its range of Food Grade Plastics in line with the new European Union Regulation (EU) 10/2011. The move makes Quadrant EPP the first and only engineering plastics’ manufacturer to offer such a broad and fully-tested range of thermoplastic stock shapes complying with the regulation. The portfolio of certified materials, covering PE through to PEEK, gives food producers the assurance of fulfilling the highest safety and quality levels for their food and beverage production systems. New Regulation (EU) 10/2011 is a further development of Directive 2002/72/EC for plastics materials in contact with food, and specifies much stricter test conditions for migration. Within the EU, compliance is required for all food contact materials. All Quadrant EPP Food Grade semifinished stock shapes and customized finished parts are processed and handled according to the new regulation and to the consistent quality control guidelines of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). Quadrant EPP accompanies each delivery with complete documentation, from choice of raw material to finished parts. This allows

full traceability and also supports customers in reducing their own in-house product testing time and costs. Customers receive a Declaration of compliance with the order (DCO) according to EN 10204-2.1 that ensures the uninterrupted traceability of the plastic product from the stock shape back to the raw material used by batch. Each production step is tested and documented by Quadrant EPP. Quadrant is also ahead of the market in introducing a Declaration of Compliance (DoC) for every delivery – a documentation requirement valid as of 2016 – that includes the complete test conditions together with the migration values of the materials. Tests to determine the migration values of Quadrant EPP’s food contact polymer materials were conducted on the thermoplastic stock shapes by independent external laboratory Intertek. These tests were performed according to regulation (EU) 10/2011. The portfolio of over 30 products was tested per Overall Migration Limit (OML) and Specific Migration Limit (SML) to measure the material inertness and provide a toxicological evaluation of individual substances. By including the pre-tested results with the DoC, customers can more easily calculate migration values for

Quadrant Food Grade semi-finished stock shapes with Food Grade and traceability labels.

Veranstaltungsort ist die Düsseldorfer Stadthalle im Congress Center Süd (CCD Süd) auf dem Düsseldorfer Messegelände. Die Messe richtet sich an Unternehmen, die Antriebs-, Steuer- und Sensortechnik, Produkte zur industriellen Bildverarbeitung, Handhabungstechnik, industrielle Software und Kommunikation sowie komplette Automatisierungssysteme für Verpackungsmaschinen anbieten. Außerdem sind Hersteller von Maschinenteilen, -Komponenten, -Zubehör und Perepheriegeräten sowie solche von Komponenten und Hilfsmitteln für Packmittel angesprochen. “Mit der components for processing and packaging erweitern wir die Angebotsbreite zur interpack um die Zulieferseite. Deren Unternehmen, die laut Messe-Nomenklatur zur interpack selber nicht zulassungsberechtigt sind, profitieren so von der einzigartigen Ausstellervielfalt der interpack als internationaler Leitmesse. Umgekehrt können sich die Aussteller der interpack auf kürzesten Weg über die Leistungsfähigkeit ihrer Zulieferer informieren“, erläutert Bernd Jablonowski, Director interpack. Das Vorhaben, interpack-Aussteller und deren Zulieferer durch die components for processing and packaging als Veranstal-

tung mit exklusiver Ausrichtung auf die Verpackungs- und Prozessindusrie zusammenzubringen, war durch den Beirat der interpack ausdrücklich begrüßt worden. Dieses Gremium besteht aus führenden Unternehmen der Branche sowie den wichtigsten deutschen Verbänden aus allen Angebotsbereichen der Leitmesse. Um den Ausstellern der components for processsing and packaging die Teilnahme so einfach wie möglich

zu machen, werden Stände im Komplettpaket inklusive Standbau, Ausstattung sowie Strom in den Größen 9, 12 und 18 Quadratmeter angeboten. Der Übergang zwischen interpack und components for processing and packaging ist ohne separates Ticket für Aussteller wie auch Besucher in beide Richtungen möglich. Interessierte Unternehmen können sich ab sofort unter www.packagingcomponents.com anmelden.

SIGEP 2014 DRIVES THE ARTISAN CONFECTIONERY CHAIN TOWARDS INTERNATIONALIZATION AND NEW BUSINESS

Presentation of the Sistema SIGEP platform, the program that during the year accompanies companies towards new markets Official: World of Coffee at Rimini Fiera in June 2014 The large events at the next edition of SIGEP already established

T

he 35th edition of SIGEP, the International Exhibition of Artisan Ice cream, Confectionery and Bakery production, the world’s leading expo, being held at Rimini Fiera from 18th to 22nd January 2014, was presented today in Milan. Eight months before the expo, over 50% of the exhibition space has been confirmed, a figure that is considerably better that that of the same period twelve months ago. As the press conference, Rimini Fiera chairman Lorenzo Cagnoni and business unit manager Patrizia Cecchi outlined an innovative strategic perspective, based on the careful analysis of the requirements of trade members, who concentrate the majority of their annual promotion on the expo day. The core of the new expo concept is Sistema Sigep (SIGEP System), a platform for the internationalization of enterprises in the artisan confectionery trade in all the countries in the world that show signs of interest in what has become one of the symbolic Italian-made products. In concrete terms, the facility puts a series of services and solutions at clients’ disposal. Training workshop will be organized, as well as forms of assistance and international desks to support the internationalization process. There are also services for establishing the locations: identification and research, analysis, negotiation of rental contracts, a marketplace platform for bringing together supply and demand. Among the facilities, space will be dedicated to financial aspects, with events for training and “customizing” financial services.

The project’s partner is SISTEMA GELATO – Servizi per la filiera del gelato (Services for the gelato chain) – a division of Sistema Leader Srl, which operates in Italian and in an international context supporting major enterprises connected with the world of gelato, as well as being the first company in Italy with a business model aimed at meeting gelato production chain requirements. Chairman Cagnoni says, “Rimini Fiera offers itself as a strategic partner for development programs, with the aim of providing innovative services and solutions, supporting the trade’s globalization and becoming a reference point for trade members and investors.”

SIGEP WORLDWIDE SIGEP has therefore concentrated its investments on the internationality front, to boost the main objective of enterprises’ business development. Patrizia Cecchi explains, “Investments in promotion have been tripled, thanks to the implementation of our network of collaborators on the five continents. The aim is to ensure unprecedented attendance by international buyers, as well as an even greater participation of foreign visitors, who are currently one out of five.” A schedule of participation in large world-level events has also been planned, a road show with dates in Lyon, Dubai, Moscow (already staged) and shortly in Hong Kong (to investigate in depth the potential of rich dynamic markets such as those of South East Asia and the ASEAN Area), Melbourne and Las Vegas. This was the reason for the investment regarding the Gelato World Tour, the travelling event promoting artisan gelato (with the entire chain involved) staged by SIGEP along with Carpigiani, which has just held its inaugural date in Rome.

International relations are spotlighted with Top Buyers from 5 Continents Project. This is a platform in six languages that ensures the opportunity of bringing together supply and demand, which then results, according to a schedule drawn up before the expo, in a program of business meetings between trade members from all over the world.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: WORLD OF COFFEE AT RIMINI FIERA IN 2014 During the press conference, Chairman Lorenzo Cagnoni officially announced the staging at Rimini Fiera in June 2014 of the World of Coffee. This is the most important travelling international event on coffee, organized in Europe by the SCAE. In the context of the World of Coffee, there will also be the World Barista Championship, this year being held in Melbourne from May 23rd to 26th. An exceptional acknowledgement, an event that will attract the attention of trade members from all over the world to a competition that highlights participants’ professional skills.

A.B.TECH EXPO The anticipation to 2015 (17-21 January) of the next edition of A.B.TECH EXPO was confirmed,

with the updating of the previously scheduled triennial program. The following edition will be in 2017. This decision was taken following the satisfaction of bakery trade members, who were able to concretely experience the combination of artisan ingeniousness with the industrial leadership that Italian companies represent along with major European brands, which resulted in them being associated and perfectly integrated.

GREAT EVENTS AT SIGEP 2014 For 2014, SIGEP has decided to create a “Times Square” for artisan confectionery. Like the famous New York location, the area between Halls D7 and B7 will become an enormous crossroads under the banner of internationality and performances by the world’s great masters, a stage with live video streaming coverage, able to be seen worldwide. The numerous events scheduled include the eagerly awaited Gelato World Cup with 12 nations taking part; the second edition of The Pastry Queen, the ladies world pastry championship, with 12 contestants from all five continents; The Star of Chocolate, the International Chocolate Contest; the Italian Barista Championship; the Italian Junior and Senior Pastry Championships.

BRAUBEVIALE 2014: GOOD CONVERSATIONS. GOOD BUSINESS ❱ BrauBeviale looking forward to European beverage experts ❱ Young team skilfully puts the exhibition in the limelight

O

n reaching the mid fifties there are just two possibilities: the (admittedly late) midlife crisis or a powerful restart, cleverly underlining one’s own strengths with a fresh outfit and charmingly convincing with experience and unexpected ideas. “BrauBeviale (*1957) has decided,” assures Andrea Kalrait, the new Director Exhibitions. “We have thoroughly revised the exhibition concept and the supporting programme. We are, of course, relying on BrauBeviale’s recognized expertise as the world’s most important

BRAU BEVIALE FP 5/13.indd 3

capital goods exhibition for beverage production in 2014 – plus a variety of new features.” The first of these is obvious: in smart natural shades of green, the exhibition in Nürnberg from 11–13 November convinces the approx. 33,000 visitors with money to invest with its comprehensive spectrum of products from some 1,300 exhibitors of raw materials, technologies, logistics and marketing ideas. But just a new colour concept is definitely not enough for the Director Exhibitions, who although new in

this function has been closely associated with BrauBeviale professionally for almost two decades, and her young team. “For us and our customers, BrauBeviale is a kind of ‘regular meeting for the sector’ that we look forward to. Friends and business partners meet on equal terms in a pleasant atmosphere to exchange ideas, discuss matters and perhaps jointly draw up initial approaches to solutions. These good conversations are followed by good business,” says Andrea Kalrait. “A look at the ‘inner values’ was naturally more important than

the visual appearance. We have completely revised the nomenclature, supplemented it in parts and consistently based it on the process chain in beverage production. This is also reflected by the allocation of the nine halls. BrauBeviale remains compact – an exhibition of short distances.”

The exhibitors: world market leaders and newcomers welcome The exhibitors in 2012 – including world-renowned regulars as well as start-ups – came from 50 nations, headed by companies from Germany (over 700), Italy, Great Britain, the Czech Republic, Austria, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Belgium. They all appreciate BrauBeviale’s optimum cost-benefit ratio: the concise opening time of only three days keeps the cost

within limits. Attractive starter prices for stand spaces up to 36 m² ensure successful exhibiting at manageable cost particularly for small and medium-size firms. 97 % of the exhibitors (45 % international) reached their most important target groups at BrauBeviale 2012 and 92 % rated their overall success at the exhibition favourably, according to the results of a survey by an independent institute. To make sure this continues in 2014 and beyond, not only the price structure has been simplified. Clearer and better arranged is the motto, which also applies to the reorganization of the product spectrum along the beverage production process chain: Raw Materials ❱ Raw materials and drinks as raw materials

Technologies ❱ Machinery and installations for production, filling and packaging beverages ❱ Packaging materials and supplies, packaging ancillaries and closure systems ❱ Automation and IT ❱ Operating and laboratory equipment, process and auxiliary materials, beer refinement ❱ Installations for energy, compressed air/gases, industrial safety, environmental protection

Logistics ❱ Vehicles, loading equipment, storage systems and transport equipment

Marketing ❱ Marketing and catering equipment ❱ Services, institutes, research, media
