I n order to transport palletised beverage cartons to the cen-tral warehouses and distribu-

tion centres of the customers, the German market leader for sparkling wine, Rotkäppchen-Mumm Sektkel-lereien GmbH, Freyburg (Unstrut), de-cided to equip two of its production locations with the BEUMER stretch hood M high-capacity packaging sys-tems. These systems package the palletised beverage cartons quickly, flexibly and sustainably with a stretch hood film. In Eltville on the Rhine (Hesse), BEUMER has adapted the packaging system so that the film size is changed with respect to the pallet size. These systems enable the Sektkellerei company to reduce ship-ping and complaint costs consider-ably in the medium term.The Rotkäppchen-Mumm Sektkel-lereien GmbH headquartered in Frey-burg at the Unstrut in Saxony-Anhalt

is leading producer of sparkling wine in Germany. They are also one of the top producers of various spirits and wines. Owing to their production of exclusive wines, the Rotkäppchen-Mumm Sektkellereien hold a “Spar-kling wine” market share of approx. 50 % in the food trade. The company group currently has around 550 em-ployees and produces at five different locations in Saxona-Anhalt, Thuring-ia, Hesse and Baden-Württemberg. Production Manager Karl-Josef Lauzi describes the Hesse Sektkellerei: “In Eltville on the Rhine near Mainz, we have a very traditional location.” Lauzi has been working for the Sekt-kellereien for over 30 years and is responsible for the entire Rotkäpp-chen-Mumm production operation. Lauzi explains, “the company was founded in 1811. The well-known sparkling wine brands are Mumm, MM Extra and Jules Mumm; all of

which are produced at this location.”The various beverages are filled and bottled automatically, closed with cork, agraffe and capsule and provid-ed with a corresponding label. Next, they are packed into different card-board boxes. The packaged bottles are picked up by a palletiser, which stacks them onto pallets. Prior to implementing BEUMER technology, the upper surfaces of the cardboard boxes were glued and transported to a binding machine where the pal-letised beverage cartons were tied up. Beverage cartons would then be carried through the pallet transport system to the goods issue - where they can be prepared for the shuttle truck of the logistics service provider. Every year approximately 300,000 pallets leave this location. However, in the past, due to frequent hard braking, sudden steering moves and sharp curves, during transport, car-

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

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

Safer, More Stable and Especially SustainableIn order to reduce damage during transport and to meet the increased logistics requirements, Sektkellerei searched for a packaging solution to ensure safer and more stable bever-age stacks. “At the beginning of 2012, the Engineering and Logistics depart-ments contacted us with a concrete request”, recalls Klaus-Dieter Enzen-bach, Sales Manager at BEUMER Maschinenfabrik GmbH in Beckum. In order to demonstrate their inno-vative engineering, BEUMER invited the Sektkellereien team to Beckum to carry out packaging testing of their products. “In the testing hall, the im-pressive BEUMER stretch hood M, high-capacity packaging system, was presented”, proclaims Joachim En-gler. After testing, the benefits of the stretch hood became clear and both the shrink wrapping and the stretch wrapping techniques were eliminat-ed as packaging options, as they did not meet Sektkellereien’s require-ments due to high film consumption. “The BEUMER high-capacity packag-ing system pulls a 40 micrometres thin film hood over the palletised bev-erage cartons. Optimally packaged,

the cartons are protected against damage during transport and reach the customer in perfect order,” says Engler. “Moreover, two different pal-let sizes can be packaged with this multi-format system. The change is semiautomatic and it is not neces-sary to retrofit the system. Thus, we are well prepared for future require-ments”.In order to demonstrate the conform-ity of the product and the increased stability of loads packed with the BEUMER stretch hood M, BEUMER and Rotkäppchen together with DEKRA, the world’s leading expert organisation for safety, quality and environmental protection, performed different driving tests under extreme conditions. The results were favour-able and in March 2013, BEUMER was awarded with a contract includ-ing supply, installation and commis-sioning of the high-capacity packag-ing systems.

Sustainability Black and WhiteBoth loading stability and sustain-ability were critical decision making factors for Sektkellereien. In sup-port of our commitment to deliver sustainable material handling solu-tions, BEUMER Group has developed the BEUMER Sustainability Index (BSI). This validation system is used to evaluate the sustainability of new machines in a continuous, systematic and verifiable way on three compre-hensive levels: economics, ecology and social responsibility. Economic performance, market pres-ence, financial opportunities and

risks are well-known parameters. BEUMER products will only become economically sustainable, when they and the corresponding production processes are tailored to long-term customer use. The BEUMER special-ists evaluate the value of each prod-uct, not just their cost. If we consider the BEUMER stretch hood series for example, an intuitive human-ma-chine interface simplifies operation and makes quick work of film roll changes. Operating parameters can be changed as well. Furthermore, this system is highly energy efficient.BEUMER technical experts, in coop-eration with film manufacturers de-veloped a solution to meet specific needs and requirements. “If the filled bottles on the pallets are exposed

BEUMER FP 2/14.indd 4 09/04/14 14.50

SPECIAL

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

Accurate Insertion into the Packaging LineThe BEUMER stretch hood construc-tion series is a modular system, which can be adapted flexibly to the individual requirements of the user. “To allow better handling of the per-forated films, we have designed a special device”, explains Enzenbach. This device makes sure that the film is picked up without any problems either by the gripping system or the suction unit. Particularly with per-forated, thin film, there runs a risk of the holes interlocking at the cut edges due to the punching process. The conveying technology was also adapted and is now able to transport different pallet sizes to the BEUMER stretch hood M. A challenge for the BEUMER specialists was the time frame during which the system had to be installed and commissioned. “We had exactly three weeks”, re-calls Enzenbach. The location stops operation only once a year in sum-mer. During this period machines and systems are subject to exten-sive service measures. “It was this time, we were expected to insert the BEUMER stretch hood accurately into the line”, explains Enzenbach. This phase of the project was con-cluded without issues. The new pack-aging system has been successfully running since August 2013.A conveyor is used to feed the pal-letised beverage cartons into the packaging system. The innovative control technology automatically rec-ognises different stacking heights and adapts itself accordingly. An

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

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

Optimal ServiceTo ensure a trouble-free course of the intralogistics processes, BEUMER Group offers optimal service and maintenance after commissioning with their Customer Support Team. “The service concept is individually designed for and in cooperation with the customer”, explains the BEUMER specialist Enzenbach. This includes inspections at regular intervals as well as planning and availability of spare or replacement parts. In case of system failure or disruptions, teleservice is available around-the-clock with the BEUMER Hotline. Furthermore Joachim Engler, head of the Engineering Department and his team are aware that the system and all components can be easily ac-cessed by maintenance personnel.“Since its installation the BEUMER stretch hood M has been running very stable”, says Ulrich Wiegel, Manag-ing Director of Rotkäppchen-Mumm Sektkellereien GmbH. The support offered by the BEUMER employees is exemplary. “The experiences gained in Eltville on the Rhine could be in-corporated several weeks later dur-ing another installation and commis-sioning of the packaging system at the location in Freyburg, Saxony. The system was ready for use after only 2 days”.

10- and 11-unit rotogravure and flexographic printing presses, digital reference inspection systems and installations to supervise the print quality. Electronic design, digital and laser technologies for prepress processes, stochastic screening, and ultraviolet drying of printing inks and lacquers are also applied.The produced packaging can make an impression of a paper bag, whi-le retaining the functional features and performances of the flexible packaging material. The technology of a composite selective lacquering as well as combination of glossy and matte surfaces altogether render the inimitable style to the packaging.The UKRPLASTIC’s flexible packa-ging materials make allowance for all specific features of production, storage, and usage of various ca-tegories of the products. While se-lecting a proper packaging material, the company experts first of all fo-cus on providing the utmost protec-tion of the product against those environmental factors it is the least resistant to. For example, the biscu-its packaging is supposed to pri-marily protect the product against moisture absorption and off-odors. A lower protection level is required to neutralize oxygen and light expo-sure. In order to protect the packed product and prevent its damage, the flexible packaging materials for detergents have to provide high in-tegrity and stiffness. The UKRPLASTIC packaging pro-tects the product against moistu-re, off-odors, neutralizes light and oxygen exposure and prevents aro-matized products from aroma loss. The flexible packaging materials offer reasonable price and outper-form other packaging in their effi-ciency. For each product category the com-pany offers its tailor-made product solution, whose cost-efficiency and viability have been proved by a long-time experience.

The highest quality and safety of these packaging materials are an apparent benefit for the customers. The production process employs only those materials and raw stock that are certified in compliance with the international and European sa-fety standards. The products’ samples are thorou-ghly tested in the company’s qua-lity lab equipped with the state-of-the-art facilities. When required, the labs of the company’s partners worldwide are used. The flexible packaging materials manufactured by the company are physiologically neutral, neither change the food flavors of the products, nor con-tain any chlorine compounds or emit dioxin when being recycled in the combustion process. Owning to the cutting-edge technologies of flexographic and rotogravure printing, the UKRPLASTIC’s packa-ging materials contain far less re-sidual solvents than the most of their countertypes. This makes the materials more friendly to the hu-man body and environment. These packaging materials comply with all the current sanitary and hygienic regulations, they are produced from the high-quality raw stock and are internationally certified. UKRPLASTIC has introduced an effective ecology management sy-stem, the company regularly proves its conformance with the require-

ments of the International Stan-dards like ISO 14001:2004 (Envi-ronmental Management Systems), ISO 22000:2005 (Food Safety Management Systems), and ISO 9001:2008 (Quality Management Systems).The company’s products have won a lot of awards from the reputable professional associations. Last year UKRPLASTIC, apart from the three wins in the individual categories, received the grand prize of the con-test - The Best of the Best Packa-ging from GAA and The Golden Prize from EFIA - 2013 Gold Print Award. Such a high appraisal of the UKR-PLASTIC’s products by the worldwi-de professionals confirms that the company’s clients are offered the packaging material whose usage becomes the competitive advanta-ge in the market. The flexible polymer packaging ma-terials are rather versatile in their application, therefore, UKRPLASTIC will be glad to see you among its cu-stomers!

V almatic offers technologi-cally cutting-edge machines for producing innovative

single-dose containers to a market constantly looking for new packaging and technologies. A concrete example of it? The new val 175 machine!Valmatic was founded over 30 years ago as manufacturer of thermoform-ing machines for the production of suppositories and vaginal ovules. To-gether with its automatic machines’ production, valmatic has developed the contract-packing service, an out-sourced manufacturing that consists in the single-dose filling of liquids such as dietary supplements, beauty prod-ucts and medical devices but also balms, creams and gels manipulated in controlled atmosphere.

An all-around serviceThanks to its know-how due to the long-term experience, valmatic offers a full-service that goes from the crea-tion of the single-dose container, also customized, to the realization of the secondary packing into cards, counter displays, cases and more, providing a finished product ready to be marketed.

TechnologiesValmatic designs and manufactures thermoforming-filling lines for produc-ing single-dose containers and sup-positories. Valmatic machines are designed and manufactured in italy. Extremely versatile, they meet the needs of the customer: the changeo-ver time is very quick and the output per hour is deeply high. From the expe-rience in outsourced manufacturing, valmatic has developed a series of ffs models that meet all market needs: from the miri line machine that, by fill-ing and sealing preformed vials, is suit-able to labs or small companies that must handle small batches of vials to our ffs mod. Vt240 machine that with

its mold step of 240 mm and a very high productivity per hour is the right choice for pharmaceutical and food industry. Our long-term experience in contract packaging carried out with lines pro-duced internally is a valid guarantee for all customers interested in.Only with a daily use of the machines in production it’s possible to under-stand how we can improve them and successfully test the applicable tech-nologies.

Our start off at interpackThe new val175, the valmatic’s pre-view at interpack 2014 (pav. 8A, stand d12), is a thermoforming and fill-ing machine designed for producing single-dose containers form-filled in laminated plastic sheets in which the whole company know-how has been put in: thanks to the easy access of this machine, even for the less trained operator the format changeover from 5 to 300 ml is really fast. Val175 has been designed for food and cosmetic industry; at interpack it will be used with a new format of 70 ml suitable for fruit juices, single-dose drinkable bev-erages and take-away products.An important feature is the significant

wastage reduction in relation to the finished container, with a consequent remarkable cost cutting.Val 175 is an all-around machine con-ceived for medium and large produc-tion: it can manufacture small vials in low thickness plastic films but also ca-pacious containers in high thickness films, both with or without flat bottom (stand-up). Its scope can vary from the coupling of a single folded film, which allows the centering of the printing on both sides to the coupling of 2 plastic films or of one plastic film and one aluminum film (peelable). When pur-chasing, the customer shall decide the most suited solution (also indicating the amount between one or two reels).Val 175 employs a mechanics com-bined with a cutting-edge electronic control both for the operator interface and the internal motion management.It is equipped with a siemens touch screen operator panel, with a display of 10” fitted for remote control. The machine motion is possible thanks to a pneumatic-mechanical handling system controlled by profinet modules, with cycles that can be adapted to the specific requirements of a product as well as a very short changeover times.

H errmann Werner und Paul Pfleiderer kannten sich von ihrem gemein-

samen Maschinenbaustudium am Stuttgarter Polytechnikum. Als sich Werner selbstständig machte, führte Pfleiderer bereits in England ein Maschinenhandelsunterneh-men und besaß ein Patent für eine Knetmaschine mit zwei elliptischen Schlaufen. Um diese auch in Deutschland zu fertigen, gewann er Werner zum Partner. Das Geschäft mit Knet-maschinen entwickelte sich in Deutschland glänzend, nicht zuletzt durch die große Nachfrage der che-mischen Industrie und den Großbä-ckereien des Militärs.

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

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

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

gründet, die deutsche Firma erhielt den Zusatz „Cannstatter Dampf-backofen-Fabrik“. Innerhalb kürzester Zeit folgten weitere Eigenkonstruktionen: Ma-schinen zum Teigformen, zum gewichtsgenauen Teilen, ein Ke-gelrundwirker und ein Gehänge-Gärschrank. Ende der 1890er-Jahre war die Herstellungslinie vollstän-dig. WP, ursprünglich Spezialist für Misch- und Knetmaschinen, bot nun die gesamte Palette der Bäcke-reitechnik an.

In dieser Zeit veränderte sich auch die industrielle Antriebstechnik hin zu Elektromotoren. Bislang gab es in den Fabriken zentrale Kraftquel-len in Form von Dampfmaschinen oder Gasmotoren. Da mit Elektro-motoren Einzelmaschinen angetrie-ben werden konnten, war es zum ersten Mal auch für handwerkliche Bäckereien möglich, Teig maschi-nell herzustellen. Für moderne Bäckereien wurde die Viennara-Knetmaschine von WP schnell zur Standardausrüstung. Die neue Antriebsmöglichkeit au-tomatisierte auch die Arbeit in den

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

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

Der Erste Weltkrieg bremste die dynamische technische und wirt-schaftliche Entwicklung. Die einst so erfolgreich aufgebauten Aus-landsmärkte gingen nach dem Kriegsende für WP weitestgehend verloren. Werke, Tochterfirmen und Verkaufsniederlassungen im Aus-land wurden enteignet, mussten verkauft oder geschlossen werden. In dieser schwierigen Situation ge-lang WP dennoch mit Öfen in Stahl-bauweise eine bedeutende Innova-tion, die allerdings eine Finanzkrise des Unternehmens nicht verhin-dern konnte. 1927 kommt es zur Umstruktu-rierung in eine Kommanditgesell-schaft, die Geschäftsführung wird einer selbstständigen Direktion unter Vorsitz von Otto Fahr übertra-gen. Damit war der Fortbestand zwar gesichert, doch der „Schwarze Freitag“ an der Wall Street am 25. Oktober 1929 und dessen Folgen wirkten sich auch auf WP aus. Zwi-schen 1929 und 1934 sank die Zahl der Mitarbeiter von 1350 auf 555, der Umsatz schrumpfte von 16 auf 5 Millionen Mark.

Wirtschaftlich aufwärts ging es für WP wieder mit der Entwickelung eines bis heute bewährten Heizsys-tems für Backöfen: der Zyklotherm-Technik. Damit war es möglich, die Temperatur genau zu regeln und besseres Gebäck zu niedrigeren Produktionskosten herzustellen. Mit diesem Erfolg wuchs das Unter-nehmen kräftig. 1938 entstand in Stuttgart-Feuerbach ein zentrales WP-Werk mit eigener Energieversor-gung, auf dem alle Fertigungsstät-ten und Büros konzentriert wurden. Während des Zweiten Weltkrieges, im Winter 1944/45, wurde das

Werk durch Fliegerangriffe größten-teils zerstört. 1949 übernahm Otto Fahr erneut die Führung von WP und verbrei-terte das Produktionsprogramm. WP-Technik wurde nicht nur in der Backbranche eingesetzt, sondern u.a. auch zur Produktion von Sei-fe, Zahnpasta, für Spritzguss- und Kunststoffteile, Reifen und Brems-beläge, Telefongehäuse und Ra-diergummis. Eine Revolution in der Ofentechnik gelang WP 1953 mit dem MATA-DOR. Mit dem neuartigen Etagen-ofen in Stahlwärme-Konstruktion und mit seinem Umwälzheizsystem ZYKLOTHERM konnten Bäcker zum ersten Mal zeitlich flexibel produzie-ren. Das stundenlange Vorheizen der Holz- und Kohlebacköfen gehör-te nun der Vergangenheit an. Auf ei-nen Schlag steigerte der MATADOR auch die Bäckereikapazität. Denn platzsparend gebaut bot er auf der-selben Stellfläche mindestens zwei Etagen mehr als die Schamottöfen.

Eine weitere wichtige Weichenstel-lung war der Weg in die Auslands-märkte und der Aufbau eigener Auslandsgesellschaften. Ende der 1960er-Jahre betrug der Exportan-teil am WP-Umsatz bereits 64 %. Die Produktionsfläche in Stuttgart-Feuerbach reicht nicht mehr aus. Da Flächen und Arbeitskräfte in der baden-württembergischen Landes-hauptstadt knapp waren, entstand ein neues Werk im bayrischen Dinkelsbühl. 1964 zog zuerst die erfolgreiche Produktion des Eta-genbackofens MATADOR um, 1973 folgt die gesamte Ofenfertigung und 1979 Brötchenanlagenbau für handwerkliche Bäckereien.

che. Sie bilden gemeinsam die WP BAKERYGROUP.Den Grundstein der WP BAKERYG-ROUP legte Jürgen Horstmann, als er 1989 die Emil Kemper GmbH in Rietberg übernahm. Das nordrhein-westfälische Maschinenbauunter-nehmen blickt auf eine lange Fir-mengeschichte zurück, die 1885 begann, als Emil Kemper mit sei-nem Partner in einer kleinen Werk-statt Milchzentrifugen baute. Be-reits 1890 errichtete er eine Fabrik in Rietberg/Neuenkirch. Dort entwi-ckelte er weitere landwirtschaftli-che Maschinen, die er in alle Welt vertrieb. Nach 1945 übernahm Kempers Tochter Käthe das Unter-nehmen und stellt die Produktion auf Knetmaschinen um. Anfang der 1950er-Jahre folgten Mehlsieb- und Teigformmaschinen, danach Brot- und Brötchenanlagen. In der WP BAKERYGROUP ist WP Kemper das Kompetenzzentrum für Teigdosie-rung- und Knetung sowie für Pro-duktionsanlagen zur Herstellung von runden und eckigen Brötchen sowie fettgebackenen Produkten.

1997 akquirierte Jürgen Horstmann gleich zwei Spezialmaschinenbauer auf einen Schlag: Werner & Pfleide-rer in Dinkelsbühl, das seitdem un-ter dem Namen Werner & Pfleiderer Lebensmitteltechnik firmiert, sowie WP Haton. Haton gehörte bereits seit 1975 zu Werner & Pfleiderer. Das 1949 von Harry Tonnaer ge-gründete Unternehmen hat seinen Sitz in Helden-Panningen in den Niederlanden. In der WP BAKERYG-ROUP ist WP Haton der Spezialist, wenn es um die Herstellung von Brot jeglicher Art geht.

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

Nachdem im Jahre 1997 Jürgen Horstmann den Bereich handwerk-liche Backtechnik der Werner & Pfleiderer in Dinkelbühl erworben hatte, verblieb die Sparte der Indus-triellen Backtechnik zunächst noch am Standort in Stuttgart Feuerbach und firmierte unter Beteiligung ei-nes südafrikanischen Investors als Werner & Pfleiderer Combake. Der Firmensitz wurde von Stuttgart Feuerbach nach Tamm verlegt. Erst nach Übernahme dieses Unterneh-mensteiles im Jahre 1998 wurde daraus die Werner & Pfleiderer In-dustrielle Backtechnik GmbH und damit ein Mitglied der WP BAKERY-GROUP.

Diese bedeutenden Veränderungen gingen einher mit einer umfangrei-chen Restrukturierung zu einem flexiblen und erfolgreichen Enginee-ring Unternehmen. Innerhalb der WP BAKERYGROUP konnten nun wieder alle Ressourcen, von der Planung und Ausführung von indus-triellen Backöfen bis zu schlüssel-fertigen Projekten, vereint werden.Die Schwerpunkte der Arbeit inner-halb der WP IB liegen im Bereich des Engineering für Anlagen der Frischback- und der Dauerbackwa-renindustrie weltweit. Hier entste-hen Systemlösungen von der ersten Skizze bis zur fertigen Produkti-onsanlage, die mit hoher Enginee-ringkompetenz besonders die kun-denspezifische Anforderung in den Vordergrund stellen.

Die jeweiligen Produkte wie Maschi-nen und Öfen werden stetig wei-terentwickelt, um auch den neuen Anforderungen hinsichtlich Energie-effizienz und Umweltverträglichkeit gerecht zu werden. Weitere Schwer-punkte der Entwicklung sind im Be-reich der Hygiene und der Service-/Wartungsfreundlichkeit zu sehen.

Als jüngstes Mitglied kam 2013 WP Riehle zur WP BAKERYGROUP.

Der Aalener Spezialist für Frittie-ren, Fettbacken, Blechreinigen und Belaugen wurde 1967 von Walter Riehle gegründet. Die erste Ma-schine war der kleine Tauchboy zur manuellen Belaugung von Brezeln. Heute reicht die Anlagenkompetenz von der Handwerksmaschine bis zu leistungsfähigen Groß- und kunden-spezifischen Sonderanlagen.

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

Viele der Tochterunternehmen sind seit Jahrzehnten, einige seit mehr als einem Jahrhundert Marktführer in ihrem Bereich. Durch die Spe-zialisierung der einzelnen Werke werden sämtliche Sparten der Pro-duktionstechnik abgedeckt und im Zusammenspiel aller Unternehmen entstehen neue Geschäftsfelder, wie etwa der Energiedienstleister WP Green. Das garantiert, dass WP auch weiterhin alle Anforderungen von Bäckereien aus einer Hand erfüllen kann. „Prozessdenken be-deutet für uns, alle Einzelschritte in der Produktion einzubinden und optimal miteinander zu vernetzen. Dadurch wird es möglich, kontinu-ierlich Backwaren auf hohem Quali-tätsniveau sowohl wirtschaftlich als auch ressourcenschonend herzu-stellen. think process war in den zu-rückliegenden 135 Jahren unsere erfolgreiche Unternehmensphiloso-phie und unser Alleinstellungsmerk-mal und wird es auch in Zukunft bleiben!“, sagt Jürgen Horstmann, geschäftsführender Gesellschafter der WP BALKERYGROUP.

Z ambelli has widened its portfolio of solutions by introducing on its well reputed range of shrink-wrapping and tray-packer machines

robotic pick and place systems to handle unstable and / or irregular shaped containers. Nowadays food manufacturers in order to make easier and more satisfying consuming the food re-engineered their food containers and today the most popular ones have become difficult in shape to be handled with con-ventional packaging machineries. Some examples are the plastic cups for yoghurt, jelly or dessert, or even the cups for warm soup wrapped with insulating ther-mal cardboard sleeve or the glass bulb shaped jars for spices and seasoning condiments. For handling these containers it must be avoided buff-ering and back-pressure and it is necessary to adopt pick and place devices that based on picking directly

the product are able to sort the container without the negative effect of the mass flow. In this way the con-tainers can be easily grouped in the pattern wanted and packed in plastic tray or cardboard tray then wrapped with shrink film or in closed wrap-around carton.The industrial robot integrated into the Zambelli shrink-wrapping / case-packer machines allows to reduce the equipment footprint, the movements of containers and packages for the benefit of the efficiency and reli-ability. Once the robotic system has completed the grouping cycles the pattern obtained can be then wrapped with heat-shrink film to protect it and ensure its integrity. The final bundle will result in a robust and economic package as the Zambelli technology offered by its se-

ries of shrink-wrapping machines allows to reduce the costs of the package using thinner film.The robotic pick and place developed by Zambelli of-fers a great flexibility and can be a solution for a large number of applications ranging from cosmetic, dairy, beverage, spices, and every time it’s required the han-dling of a not conventional container.

sophisticated servo drive conveyor technology, to ensure perfect prod-uct handling. The technology in the servo drives is second to none and benefits from being practically maintenance free. Product handling is key to customer success. The same can be said for the unique Weigh Cells based on Electro Magnetic Force Restoration, with distinct competitive advan-tages such as AVC technology. AVC (Active Vibration Compensation) al-lows the precise dynamic weighing in even the worst vibration affected environments. AVC is cleverly utilised to compen-sate for background vibration to en-sure consistently accurate weight readings. This technology is not only come handy in weak building structures or heavy forklift traffic but even when running speeds over 400 ppm.

X-ray Scanning: much more than simple contamination detection The appreciated application flex-ibility from the checkweigher range is also implemented in the compre-hensive product portfolio of sophis-ticated X-ray scanners. The best possible product inspection is guar-anteed by utilising a modular ma-

chine design and an intelligent but unique X-ray inspection approach. Scanners by OCS Checkweighers fulfill highest requirements with regards to precise detection and ensure best possible food safety. These scanners not only detect foreign objects and other contami-nants such as stones, eventually glass, plastics and bones with a higher density.But furthermore, they detect product flaws such as broken, deformed or incomplete products and rejects them. The unique camera-detector-technology

renders product pictures of stun-ning sharpness and resolution (as high as 0,15 mm). Taken images can be stored and kept for further reference. Addition-ally with its modular design the OCS X-ray range helps customers with bespoke requirements. For exam-ple the X-ray is fitted with a closed water cooling loop that is both com-pact and can be fully flexible in de-sign.

Advantage built-in: Excellenceby in-house development & manufacturing The extraordinary manufacturing depth and the setup of all design and production steps under one roof guarantees the exceptional quality, flexibility and reliability of OCS Checkweighers’ whole array of products. OCS customers benefit from the fact that all key components and the systems themselves are manu-factured entirely in-house. This al-lows direct communication, perfect customisation to individual needs and a future proofing investment with a guaranteed spare parts service where needed many years down the road. www.ocs-cw.com

T he core business of Wipo-tec is the development, production and integration

of ultra-fast precision Weigh Cells and high-tech weighing systems for high-speed applications.Wipotec Weigh Cells are applied in a wide range of industrial produc-tion processes, such as checkwei-ghers, filling and dosing as well as the integration in packaging machi-nes. Furthermore, highly specific solutions, tailored to the needs of the customers, are implemented for the pharmaceutical industry to weigh capsules, tablets, syringes and vials.The Weigh Cell work accor-ding to the principle of Electro Magnetic Force Restoration (EMFR). They are based on the monoblock technology which makes them extremely precise and fast and enables them to render accurate weighing re-sults even at highest speeds and under the most adverse conditions. Vibrations can be actively compensated for. The product range includes mo-dels which can weigh a mere microgram and others which can deal with loads from µg up to 150 kg.Wipotec places special em-phasis on the independent development of all necessary technologies and core com-ponents. Therefore, about 25

percent of the staff work in hardwa-re and software development. The in-house development and project engineering departments enable the company to provide all produc-tion documents required within a very short time frame and with a maximum of flexibility.The heart of all Weigh Cells, the so-called monoblock, is manufactured in the in-house machining centre by means of state-of-the-art CNC mil-ling machines. However Wipotec’s systematic in-house policy does not end with the mechanical manufac-turing, the printed circuit boards are also manufactured under the

same roof by automatic pick-and-place machines.These components are put toge-ther in the cleanrooms of the Weigh Cell assembly before they have to undergo an extensive testing and adjusting process. Finally, the Wei-gh Cells reach their application in dynamic checkweighers and in inte-grable weighing systems.“We have a healthy customer mix – we supply all leading names and key players in the pharmaceutical and food packaging sector, but we also have a very good spread of smaller clients,” explains Wipotec’s international sales director Micha-

el Kirsch. “We have agre-ements with the large ac-counts like BOSCH, Bausch + Strobel, Optima or IMA, just to mention a few.Michael Kirsch explains: “Our company is the cle-ar market and technology leader in precision Weigh Cells for packaging machine OEMs worldwide.” And he adds: “We were looking for additions to our portfolio, which would be of interest to our existing customers.” So Wipotec designed and deve-loped several X-ray scanners with a revolutionary techno-logy. These products offer higher performance and better detection of foreign objects.

T he Adelphi Group has re-designed its range of filling equipment to meet the de-

manding needs of the food manufac-turing industry. Using state-of-the-art technology and introducing all the technical improvements needed to make the new range of machines more hygienic, user friendly and high-er-performing; Adelphi has respond-ed to food manufacturers ongoing re-quirements for increased production output, lower operating costs and greater standards of hygiene with the launch of its System F range of inno-vative inline fillers.Implementing machine design guide-lines specific to the food manufactur-ing industry all processing modules were designed with hygiene in mind:

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

❱ The filling zone is completely cov-ered to minimise the risk of product contamination❱ The machines ‘up and over’ guard-ing offers unrestricted access to the filling zone with no ‘hidden’ areasWith hygiene being a primary focus for the food manufacturing industry, where the machine’s components are in direct contact with the prod-uct, hygienic design of your filling machine will add value to the overall product and will help keep machine downtime to a minimum. Optimised FunctionalityAlong with hygienic design a key mar-ket trend in the food manufacturing industry in recent years has been flexibility. Flexibility is a term food manufacturers can use to specify the adaptability a machine has to run various products or containers which differ in size and shape. The improvements introduced with this new range of filling machines have allowed a reduction in both product and container change over times, with relative maximisation of produc-tion output.The modular design of the quick strip and easy clean System F pumping and filling system means that down-time whilst carrying out a product change over is significantly reduced. All contact parts can be removed and replaced within 10 minutes, with no tools, and, if needed, contact parts can then be stripped to their com-ponent parts in just a further 5 min-utes. The machines design is such that product change over’s can be achieved extremely quickly by simply exchanging used contact parts with a pre-sterilised set.Container change over’s can be done in an instant and the System F range offers the option for this to be fully automated. The required fill volume

can be pre-set by the recipe recall from the HMI touch screen and the ‘Y’ axis nozzle movement allows for quicker container change over add-ing to the machines productivity. Con-tainers ranging in size from 100ml to 25 litres can be filled on one machine simply by interchanging the pumping module as required.Offering the most innovative technol-ogy currently available on the mar-ket, new synchronised SERVO drive technology ensures consistency of fill volume with the ability to adjust the filling and nozzle speed and nozzle height quickly and efficiently.All of these factors combine to save precious production time, and to maximise the output achieved. In addition, energy saving drive sys-tems ensure that System F delivers significant energy cost savings when

compared to a similar pneumatically driven filling machine. The machine could pay for itself in energy savings alone in less than six years.System F will be on display to the

public for the first time in Hall 4 at Interpack 2014. The filler will take pride of place on Stand E39-10. For more information please visit: www.adelphi.uk.com/system

S ealing is a process of sub-stance-bonded joining of composite material with a

thermoplastic layer, with this layer being subject to technical welding conditions. For this reason, ultra-sonic welding systems have been successfully implemented for a va-riety of sealing applications in the field of packaging, such as bags, blisters, pods, and cartons for quite some time now. The benefits speak for themselves:❱ Short cycle times between 80 and

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

Basic ultrasonic principles: Transformation of mechanicalvibration into heat The ultrasonic waves are mechani-cal sound waves that are trans-formed into friction heat and thus cause a substance-bonded con-nection at the molecular level. Fric-tion heat is generated by deforma-tion work, i.e. inner friction within the molecular bond, and through boundary layer friction, i.e. outer friction between the sealing materi-als. During the ultrasonic process,

Moreover, narrow seams save packaging material while cold tools are gentle on sensitive feed material. A closer look at a reliable and efficient alternative for heat sealing.

mechanical vibrations of an ultra-sonic frequency are applied to the foil at a specific amplitude, force, and duration. The process param-eters depend on foil structure, foil thickness and joint geometry.

From the applied supply voltage, the ultrasonic generator generates high voltage, which oscillates at an ultrasonic frequency. In the convert-er (sound transducer) the oscillat-ing high voltage is transformed into mechanical longitudinal vibration by means of piezoceramic elements exploiting the reverse piezo effect. This longitudinal vibration, in turn, excites and causes vibration in a mechanical resonance unit (stack). The vibration amplitude generated in the converter can be changed in the booster and the Sonotrode by utilization of different mass ratios, and thus be adjusted to the respec-tive sealing job. The Sonotrode is the vibrating and “cold” sealing tool that directly applies vibration onto the packaging material at the sup-plied joining force. The frequency represents the number of vibrations per second and ranges between 20 kHz and 35 kHz (20 kHz is equal to 20,000 deformation cycles per sec-ond) for packaging materials. The vibration amplitude is equal to half the peak-to-peak amplitude, i.e. from zero value to peak value, and ranges between 5 and 50 µm.

Narrow seamsUltrasonic seals are slimmer than heat contact seals, but equally tight

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

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

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

actual comparison. Consequently, process check complies with high-est quality requirements. Since op-eration is performed with cold tools, packaging and feed material are hardly subjected to thermal loads. The cleaning effort is reduced and sealing tools are not soiled even in case of malfunctions in the filling process, which is a great advantage, particularly for temperature-sensi-tive feed materials with low melting points, such as chocolate-contain-ing or chocolate-coated products. The use of nonstick coating, such as Teflon strips, is not required.

Short cycle timesUltrasonic sealing is characterized by high energy efficiency, since en-ergy is only required during actual sound exposure and short cycle times can be realized with sealing times of between 80 and 200 ms. This is particularly beneficial with thick packaging materials or con-nections between injection molded packaging materials/accessories and foils. In comparison with perma-nently heated heat contact process-es, ultrasonic systems are ready for

operation immediately upon switch-on of the ultrasonic generator. By storing the sealing parameters in the memory of the ultrasonic gener-ator, automatic switch-over among parameter sets is possible. Chang-es become immediately effective upon start of the next sealing pro-cess, so that no machine downtime is required. Intelligent adjustment of sealing parameters to ambience-based or process-related changes allows for consistent and uniform sealing quality.

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

cooling. For vertical form, fill and seal (VFFS) machines in particular, high values are important since the seal joints are subjected to heavy loads through filling immediately af-ter sealing. The principal difference between ultrasonic sealing processes and heat contact processes is the tem-perature distribution. In heat con-tact processes the packaging mate-rials are heated up from the outside by means of permanently heated or impulse-heated sealing tools. Since the temperature at the surface of the packaging material is higher than in the sealing area, heat flow into the inside of the joint is main-tained after removal of the sealing tools. Initial hot-tack strength is low and a cooling period is required to achieve a strong joint. Moreover, overly high temperatures in the seal-ing tools will cause thermal damage to the packaging material (shrink-age or burning), material sticking to the sealing tools, or impairment of the feed material.By applying ultrasonics, these nega-tive factors can be minimized. www.herrmannultraschall.com

F rom 1966 on, our company works in the area of molds in polycarbonate for choco-

late working using 65 highly quali-fied employees, who are engaged in the production of molds from de-sign to the finished product.

Our history:❱ On 1966 Foundation of Cabrellon company❱ On 1985 The company moved to the current location, that actually has approximately 10,000 meters of covered area.❱ On 1994 Our company acquires the only competitor on the Italian territory (Cartesid).❱ On 2006 We acquired the foreign competitor, Yorkshire Molds (Great Britain).

Our production is divided in 2 sec-tions: production of standard molds designed and developed from our artists and that customers can ad-mire and browse from our online catalogue. The second section, instead, focus-

es on developing of exclusive prod-ucts upon request of our customers. A highly qualified technical staff, is responsible for transforming our customers’ ideas into reality. Our employees are very attentive to all your needs and are always avail-able to suggest the most suitable solutions to get the best result.In addition to human resources, of course, we use cutting edge tech-nologies, such as CAD / CAM pro-gramming and 3D; CNC machines of latest generation, without count-ing the park of injection machines for molding of the finished products.In fact we keep attention to follow and adopt the new technologies, because on product development we always keep the maximum pre-cision to guarantee best perfor-mances. Lot of attention is used during verification of precision and tolerances of the dimensions of the molds, which are checked and measured by our measuring center.Also in the choice of the materials we put all our attention, in fact, we would like to supply to our custom-

ers molds with best performances possible, with a keen eye to ecology ( in fact, we produce electricity from renewable sources that do not emit CO2 and that do not generate nu-clear waste) and also an eye toward the new legislation (for example, use of materials that are free of bi-sphenol A).

T he consumption of high quality fruits preparations has highly increate for a

number of applications including:

❱ Yoghurt❱ Backery filling❱ Desserts

Quality standards have also incre-ased both in terms of size of the fruit particulate and their shape (in some cases and applications whole fruits are used). Typical examples are strawberries, blueberries and other berries used in both yoghurt and desserts.The various ingredients (fruits, su-gar, juice/puree, additives etc) are mixed and pasteurized in a special pan and then transferred to aseptic pan (pans) for cooling down to less than 40°C and, eventually, tran-sferred to the filling.In order to obtain a perfect final product even in presence of always more stringent requirements in terms of quality and characteristics of the product (low brix, excellent microbiology, large particulate con-tent, productivity, high level of auto-mation) specifically designed plants have to be designed.

Some but few of the main cha-racteristics of the system are:1 The system has to be specifically designed and manufactured in or-der to make possible the production of product with very large particula-te (and high percentage) assuring a very limited shape damage.This is accomplished by:❱ Special stirrer design❱ Large passage product valves❱ Product transfer by gravity with help of nitrogen at low pressure❱ Use of large diameter DN65 pe-

ristaltic pump only in case of high product viscosity2.The system has to be designed in order to assure an aseptic product to be filled.

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

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

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

pervisor monitors all phases of the operation.The extremely advanced instrumen-tation and control reduce to the minimum the intervention of the personnel, reducing possibilities of contamination.

6.The product can be filled asepti-cally in stainless steel tootes or in aseptic bags.

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

A wide experience in the supply of state of the art plants for the pro-duction of high quality fruits pre-parations has been gained by Ber-tuzzi food Processing, an Italian company that operates since 1936 in the design and supply of plants and machinery to process fruits and vegetables to produce juice, concentrates, baby foods, jam, rea-dy drinks, smoothies etc…

B rambati is a company with a tradition. It was found-ed in 1945 by Francesco

Brambati and has always managed to keep up with the times and capi-talize on its experience represented by an unbeatable source of know-how. The most important secret, however, is its dynamism. It has never rested on its laurels and has always been able to update its pro-posals and to understand (and in many cases anticipate) the require-ments of its customers. The managers of the company to-day are the third generation of the family. This means that in the natu-ral course of events the company has been able to keep its outlook fresh and dynamic whilst remaining faithful to traditional values. Today more than ever, its management team is made up of people with a level of enthusiasm making it pos-sible to quickly incorporate tech-nological innovations on the one hand, and marketing requirements on the other. The Brambati group, based in Codevilla in Northern Italy, has a history of more than 65 years in food industries, such as bakeries, pasta, biscuits and baby food.They specialize in the development and installation of complete equip-ment for storage, handling, blend-ing, weighing and dosing of solids, granular, and liquid raw materials.

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

many processes in between such as cleaning, storage, weighing, blend-ing, roasting, conveying (standard and high density flow rate), milling and degassing. Remote connec-tions by modem guarantee immedi-ate control with reduction of costs and time.

Grinders in various sizes, made to high specificity according to the re-quirements of various markets. Roasters are also available in many different sizes and can be either traditional or custom-built in order to allow complete flexibility in coffee roasting. All machines are supplied with the option of an afterburner and/or cat-alytic converter to control the emis-sion of fumes into the atmosphere. This is especially important in tak-ing particular care of the quality of the product, and also in minimizing environmental impact.Brambati’s success is due to their know-how in different food sectors and that for years, Brambati has been aware of the problems relat-ing to it. If the management of pro-cessing production is nowadays so efficient and trustworthy, it is cer-tainly due in part to the proposals that the company offers. Brambati has been able to propose increas-

ingly evolved technology that con-forms to modern needs, such as the traceability of goods, precise management of processing, respect for the quality of the materials used and the environmental impact of the systems supplied. All projects represent a well-bal-anced union between engineering and informatics. The rapid devel-opment of information technology has also enabled Brambati to reach higher levels in efficiency and pro-cess control.One of company’s strong points is precisely the ability to adapt its pro-posals on the basis of the standards required by the various markets. That’s the reason why the company is so competitive in foreign markets, from Europe to the Far East, from America to Australia, from Africa to Middle East, where the name Bram-bati is increasingly gaining ground. Informatics has played a decisive role in making all kinds of pro-cessing simple and more control-lable. The company also provides hardware and software command panels and all systems can be completely computerized and au-tomated. Nowadays, with simple in-tervention it is possible to exercise complete control of many types of processing.

L abels are important in to-day’s world. Consumers choose the widest range of

goods in the supermarket thanks to their labels, which associate them with the ads seen on TV. Thousands of brands and millions of products, with billions of packages chosen every day with no help from sales staff except at the till.The label is the “silent salesman”. Cosmetics, foodstuffs, pharmaceu-ticals, detergents, drinks; products in vials, bottles, cases and jars, in turn packaged into boxes, packs and pallets for safe transport and storage. Behind all this are the self-adhesive or linerless labelling ma-chine, working swiftly and with per-fect synchronization together with other units of the production and packaging process. To decorate, mark and code each single product with data and expiry information. An overwhelming job, if you think about it, but one which is reliably handled by the ultimate in high-tech equipment. Like ALTECH labellers: labelling machines, in line labelling systems for the most diverse packa-ging types imaginable, and label print&apply units.

The background of ALTECH The first ALTECH labelling machine started production in September 1991. It was the result of the com-mitment of a small group of people whose joint intention was to produ-ce innovative self-adhesive label-ling machines. Advanced Labelling Technologies, ALTECH was the re-sult.Nowadays millions of self-adhesive labels are applied by ALTECH sy-stems every day. From the factory in Bareggio, close to Milan, these labellers reach purchasers located in all five continents. Industrial labellers, self-adhesive labelling machines, linerless sy-stems, sleeve applicators, made up of simple labelling heads that can be integrated into existing packa-ging lines, or complete in-line sy-stems equipped with conveyors and adjusting, orienting, spacing, checking, ejecting and sorting units which meet the customers’ most sophisticated production require-ments. These are complemented by real-time print&apply systems, of which ALTECH is a leading, innova-ting company in the sector of mate-rial identification, codification and

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

perience, organizational skills and the right know-how, to pay attention to detail and to have a passion for mechanics. Labelling machines are the final element of a packaging line and qualify the previous stages of the process by applying a label that will convey the image of that particular product. For this reason, their manufacturing technology plays a crucial role. But those who turn to ALTECH for their requirements will also en-counter the capacity to listen and learn, since the first impulse to-wards innovation often comes from an ongoing dialogue with customers and the market, a major challenge in the labelling machine industry. “To solve labelling problems in an innovative way” is ALTECH’s tag line.

The value of ALTECH labelling machinesQuality choices lie behind every AL-TECH labelling machine, but they go well beyond Italian and international safety and production regulations (EC, UL, IQ/OQ, GAMP...). ALTECH utilizes only quality materials; high resistance alloys, stainless steel screws and extremely reliable elec-tronic and pneumatic components supplied by world-class companies. Each labelling machine has been designed, when possible and ap-propriate, to be modular and expan-dable. All elements can be readily accessed and are easy to disas-semble. Every detail is always desi-gned, controlled and codified, and every machine is supplied with dia-grams and the list of relevant parts. Suppliers are chosen according to strict criteria to ensure the reliabili-ty as well as the availability of their products throughout the world. The electronic parts have been desig-ned so that all ALTECH industrial systems are user-friendly under any working conditions. For each labelling machine manu-factured by ALTECH, a specific tech-nical file is created and stored in

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

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

Its standard range encompasses the following products:

The ALstep labelling head is a com-pact-sized and low-cost applicator for self-adhesive labels, which can be easily integrated into already existing packaging lines. ALstep is based on a robust, reliable mecha-nical structure; it can be fitted into particularly restricted areas, also thanks to the side access web th-reading allowing a fast, easy label change over.ALstep can hold label rolls up to 300 mm of diameter for a long ope-rating time; it is equipped with a se-parate control box with cooling fan which makes it possible to operate it in harsh industrial environments. ALstep comes in both S and M ver-sions, for label widths up to 100 and 200 mm. respectively. Its maximum label dispensing speed is as high as 30 m/min. (20 m/min. in the M ver-sion) thanks to a microprocessor-controlled stepper motor enabling the operator to enter all labelling parameters by means of the display

and function keys. Such parameters are stored on EEPROM and automa-tically recalled by switching on the machine.An E version is particularly cheap.ALritma is a high performance self-adhesive label applicator designed to be integrated into packaging li-nes where production speed and re-liability are primary needs. ALritma is based on an innovative mechani-cal structure which can match great sturdiness with versatility.It is available in three versions, S, M and L, for label widths up to 100, 200 and 300 mm. respectively. The label driving group has been desi-gned to exploit the stepper motor features to the full, by guaranteeing an accurate label positioning even at the highest production speeds; the side access has made the web threading easier. The label applicator is controlled by a powerful microprocessor, with a display “Touch Screen”, which allow for the running of advanced

functions by relieving the opera-tor from complicated mechanical adjustments and considerably spee-ding up the format changeovers.An ALritma X has been recently de-veloped for extremely high perfor-mances.

The ALline is an in-line system which can be configured for the automatic labeling of cylindrical, elliptical or rectangular products; moreover, it can suit specific requirements, such as the application of tamper-proof seals or labelling of singularly sha-ped products. All ALline linear labellers have equal-ly been designed according to cut-ting edge designing criteria which, in strict compliance with CE regula-tions, make every machine suitable for even the harshest of conditions, guarantee great labelling accuracy even at high production speeds and feature a high degree of operator-friendliness, as the start and chan-ge-over operations are particularly

simple and intuitive.In more detail, ALline is based on the “built-in” philosophy, which me-ans that all components are “inclu-ded” in the structure/cabinet, well protected against dirt and acciden-tal bumps. The grey (or stainless steel) structure is extremely sturdy and, thanks to its eye-catching de-sign, it qualifies the whole packa-ging line.

ALcode units are systems for the printing/application of self-adhesi-ve labels. They may be interfaced with a computer and can apply the just-printed label to both still and moving products. For label printing, ALcode can integrate the various thermal transfer engines made from the Japanese SATO (or compatible). Which has specifically developed them for the use on automatic ap-plicators: resolution of 8 or 12 dots/mm., up to 300 mm/sec. of print speed, 4 “, 5 “ or 6 “ of printable width.

system, the mechanics, pneumatics and electronics have been suitably integrated to meet the typical re-quirements of machines operating in an industrial environment, which need to combine reliability, user-friendliness, accessibility, and inter-change ability. A range of standard devices has been engineered for the application of labels, thus ena-bling ALcode to apply labels in any position and at any linear speed.

The ALpharma labelling systems have been specially devised by AL-TECH for pharmaceutical products. Based on the wide experience gai-ned in designing its innovative la-belling systems, which have proven extremely successful in all market sectors, ALTECH has developed the ALpharma line, whose particularly advanced features fully comply with the strict rules and regulations of the pharmaceutical industry.The ALpharma models are:ALpharma A - for vials and small bot-tles. The labelling is performed from tray to tray, “in-the-star-wheel”. Up to 150 products/minALpharma B - for shaped cases, with both bar code labels (tags, vi-gnettes) and tamper evident angle labels folded along the flaps (up to 200 products/min). ALpharma C - for in-line wrap-around labelling of

small cylindrical bottles. Up to 250/min

ALmatic is a semiautomatic ap-plicator of self-adhesive labels for cylindrical products. Its easy fun-ctioning provides for the manual lo-ads of the product in the labelling position by the operator who activa-tes the control lever. So ALmatic pro-vides to the rotation of the product and to the application of the label till a completely happened adhe-sion. Thanks to the ergonomics of the system and to the presence of templates of comparison ALmatic allows an exact labelling, making easier the manual operations of the placing of the product.

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

ALTECH ServiceALTECH machines are used in every industry field, from food to cosme-tics, from pharmaceutics to chemi-stry. Today the company distributes its products on the Italian territory through a direct sale and service structure, whereas a network of 80 dealers, trained both in promotion and in technical service, provide a qualified distribution in 50 different countries in Europe and overseas.All packed products such as food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosme-tics etc. need to be decorated, iden-tified, sealed and marked, in order to meet the requirements for their sale, transportation, storage and handling in general. In the majority of cases the answer is a label, and usually an adhesive label.That is why ALTECH systems are so well diffused, why we are often con-sulted and why our suggestions are often followed. Our Sale Agents are real consultants and our Distributors are trained and motivated professio-nals who are sensitive to customers’ problems and organized to satisfy customers from all points of view.They know about logistics and packaging problems and they know the materials they are dealing with.

ties that characterize the series.The GENESI machine is also ar-ranged for the introduction of de-tergent and liquid additives in the bath and in the detergent tank, dis-infectants and other products in the spraying tanks.Internal spraying (made with self-cleaning rotating nozzles) and exter-nal high pressure spraying are easily removable for routine cleaning and maintenance. The loading and un-loading of bottles is completely au-tomatic, and perfectly synchronized with the movement of the main chain.

Dry cycle.To streamline the washing cycle , the company has realized the HY-DRA series, a series of fully auto-matic machines which comprise a first station for emptying the bot-tles followed by pre-washing spray-ing and first pre-maceration bath. This configuration helps to reduce the pollution of the detergent bath and reduce fuel consumption. The triple station for labels extracting ensures their complete detachment from used bottles, while the rotating filter displaced over the entire width of the machine ensures the evacua-tion outside. The bottle washing is complete with indoor and outdoor spraying, which occurs with high-pressure cleaner distributed with rotating nozzles self-cleaning and self-centering. To complete rinsing, however, ensure the phase abatement alkalinity fol-lowed by spraying with external and internal water network.Built according to the Machinery Directive (CE) also, the series has a different predispositions that in-crease safety, including:sensors for slowing down and even-tually stopping the machine in case of failure or obstruction of bottles on conveyor; detergent introduction and liquid additives in the bath and other products in spray tanks; the

automatic loading and unloading of the bottles is perfectly synchronized with the movement of the main chain; the economizer valve for the water network and the automatic control of the presence of water on the last rinsing station.Other amenities are important, as:automatic resetting of the chutes for loading and unloading bottles from the control panel; grouped grease; electronic variable speed with re-mote control (inverter); setting and control of all the machine by “touch-screen”; self-centering and self-cleaning rotating spray at high pressure; external spraying easily removable for cleaning and main-tenance; valves for emptying baths and spraying tanks; control panel made in stainless steel; IP55 electri-cal plant; gauges and thermometers in visual range of the operator.At the bottles unloading are ar-ranged safety guards and dust pro-tection. The electronic safety on every gearbox allows at the machine to stop in case of overload. The heat exchanger and pumps are always made in stainless steel.

Very high productivity and automa-tion in the wash meet in the HP model in the same series.Despite the sophistication , just an operator to remotely manage the en-

tire wash cycle, verifying operation via control systems. The tubes of external washing are constructed so as to reduce maintenance to a mini-mum. But in case it will be neces-sary, the dismantling and cleaning are very simple. The regulation of the temperature in the tanks is au-tomated through a modulating pro-portional pneumatic system, which offers a guarantee of accuracy and safety of operation. The main motor, oversized, ensures a long lasting ef-ficiency by minimizing the mechani-cal wear. The electronic variable frequency allows to manage the main engines installed in HYDRA HP series via remote control. The automatic press for the collection of labels evacuated from the detergent bath is full of a recovery system of the detergent solution that accumu-lates in the pressing phase.

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

The two machines are a perfect examples of AcmaVolpak construction approach, which aims to merge high end performances with great efficiency, energy saving and reliability. Other solutions on show will be the Acma M888 multy style wrapping machine, the Enflex STD-22 for stand-up pouches and Volpak SI-280. First time on show also for the T4 Modula, Tecnomec-canica’s new solution for packag-ing tea in filter bags. Last but not least, the company will present a complete packaging line for cof-fee capsules, which will consist of a series of fully integrated ma-chines: the Qi for capsule filling and the MiniWrap. Such innova-tive packaging line will also include a cartoner and some state of the art solutions for industrial processing.

ACMA MACHINES T4ModulaDesigned and manufactured by Tec-nomeccanica – the brand dedicat-ed to the tea market– T4 Modula is AcmaVolpak’s new, medium-speed, tea bag machine.

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

serve the genuineness of its con-tent. An octagonal tag is placed on the front of the bag, while the string is attached underneath; these fea-tures make the tea bag aestheti-cally more pleasant and optimise brand visibility, thus supporting the customer’s marketing strategies. QiQi is designed to fill rigid and semi-rigid capsules. It guarantees a high production rate (the line’s speed may be 140, 350 or 500 pieces per minute). Acma’s capsule processing machine, thanks to the design of the batchers on independent stations, guarantees maximum precision in

controlling the weight in the filling phase (the precision tolerance is less than 0.1 gr. per capsule). It is also pre-arranged for vacuum di-rectly inside (in the configurations from 350 and 500 ppm), required to extend the product’s shelf life. During the design phases, special attention was paid to reducing the consumption of capsule assembly materials; for example, initial tests on the material used to seal the up-per part of the capsule (or insert the filter paper inside it) indicate a reduction in waste paper and sav-ings of 48% (depending on the di-ameters) as opposed to the conven-tional machines. The central core of the system is its transfer unit, which develops horizontally; by exploiting the full perimeter of the machine, the overall spaces are minimized and the production flow can be set clockwise or anti-clockwise ac-cording to the layout requirements of the production area. This also means that it is possible to employ just a few operators on several ma-chines who can supervise one or more lines.

MiniWrapMiniWrap wraps capsules and pods guaranteeing a significant produc-tion rate. Tight wrapping results are achieved by mean of dedicated

induction sealers, customized fold-ing devices, vacuum and Nitrogen injection system. Incredible reduc-tion of wrapping material (up to 40%), together with tightness wrap-ping offer the possibility to reduce also the dimension of the cartons and cases with important savings in both material costs and logistic. A wide range of optional applica-tions further optimize machine per-formances

M888Patented multi style automatic wrapping machine, suitable for a wide range of pre-formed candies and chocolate products with flat bottom, it can handle also soft tof-fee like korovka. The multi style wrapper model M888 combines the benefit of continuous motion in-feed system, namely higher speed and sensitivity in handling the product during the first wrap-ping phases, with those of indexing motion, offering greater precision during the final wrapping process and high flexibility to move from one style to another. The wrap-ping style and size changeover can be accomplished in less than 60 minute. Thanks to the cantilevered architecture the M888 offers a very high accessibility for easy mainte-nance and cleaning. The machine can make the following packaging styles: bon bon viennoise, double twist, fancy, bunch and portfolio; gi-anduiotto is coming soon.

SP1Acma is able to offer the market a full range of technologically leading-edge machinery that successfully fits into new or existent produc-tion lines to package loose and horizontally and vertically stacked products in single wrap or multi-pack format. Acma’s offer includes three different models of flow pack-ers: SP0, SP1 and SP2, designed around four fundamental princi-ples: performance, simplicity, flex-ibility and sustainability. Acma does not just commercialise wrapping machines, but is indeed able to provide its customers with distribu-tion and infeed systems to manage product alignment and machine in-feed, on one or more lines. The modular distribution systems designed by Acma manages in-coming products arranged in rows aligned by the process line with great efficiency. Some automatic applications are also available to feed one or more packaging lines: for example: a bis-cuit or cracker packaging line can be divided, by feeding a first ma-chine for packaging in stacks and a second for packaging in “slugs”. By means of horizontal or vertical loaders, the product is subsequent-ly transferred to the infeed system. The machine infeed systems are driven by independent brushless motors and guarantee particularly delicate product handling, at the same time allowing easy access to the various components thanks to the cantilevered design, which translates into ease-of-use and hy-giene simplicity. The flow packers of Acma SP series pack single prod-ucts or multipacks at medium and high speeds, with hot or cold seal-ing system: the rotary sealing unit can also be supplied in the “Long-dwell” version, which thanks to its traversing movement during the sealing phase, allows to process particularly resistant materials at high speed that have to guarantee

You can manufacture Stand Up type pouches, with front, lateral or well centered caps in the upper sealing, sachets with dif-ferent shapes, reaching a produc-tion output of up to 140 sachets per minute. Thanks to its versatil-ity, it is the ideal machine for af-fronting a great variety of projects; from dehydrated soups with or without pasta and vegetables, to grated cheese, sauces, juices, dairy products, etc. Available with zip-per applicator, corner and top cap fitment. SC-140With the SC series, Volpak presents the new range of HFFS machines with continuous motion technology doubling the production rates. The Volpak SC series is based on two platforms, for pouches up to 500ml and 1500ml capacity, that cover

the needs of the world-wide market for flexible pouches. With the new SC series customers can double their production capacity benefiting from important savings in energy, maintenance, packaging cost and space. The machine also uses a lin-ear pouch forming module, guaran-teeing the seal integrity and quality of the pouches produced and a con-tinuous carrousel, featuring a mod-ular build concept, equipped with different turrets for pouch opening, filling, capping and top sealing, de-pending on project configuration. The single fill station and the gen-tle handling of the pouches are key to optimize the filling conditions for any type of product. Finally, the top seal turret allows operating in opti-mum conditions, and is designed to accommodate pouches with or without caps. SC is available

in two versions, depending on the format and volume of the pouches and in many configurations: for liq-uid products with or without reclos-able caps and for dry products with or without re- closable zippers.

T oday, energy is an increas-ingly valuable asset and, as such, companies that

handle large bottling and packag-ing systems are paying more and more attention to how to use it, and choose high-efficiency and low power consumption machines. When designing the line end so-lutions presented at Interpack in Düsseldorf (Stand 14D12), SMI kept in mind the needs of energy saving and environmental protec-tion. In fact, SMI machines used for line end packaging are equipped with brushless motors without us-ing geared motors; thanks to this choice, the production facilities have greater energy efficiency and consequently use up less electrical current. The integrated “Packbloc” system displayed at Interpack 2014 for

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

Smipal APS PLUS: the innovative “3 in 1” palleti-sation solution The compact “Packbloc” system on display at Smigroup’s stand no. 14D12 at Interpack 2014 brings

ahead the conceptual innova-tions presented at the latest edi-tion of Drinktec. In fact, SMI engi-neers have further optimized the compactness and flexibility of this system, which, as concerns the line-end palletisation, uses the ad-vanced technology of the new APS PLUS series by Smipal. The main and most innovative fea-ture of the APS PLUS palletisers is the integration in the machine’s fixed column of all the mechanical components taking care of the pal-let layers construction, the empty pallets feeding operation and the interlayer pads insertion. The following three components move on this column: the layer-load-ing head-holding cross beam, which performs vertical movements; the loading head (the so-called “bas-ket”) that, thanks to a system of tel-

CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGIES FOR EFFICIENT LINE END

escopic guides, performs rapid and accurate horizontal movements along the cross beam and, lastly, an articulated arm based on SCARA technology that performs both ver-tical and horizontal movements for feeding the empty pallets and in-serting the interlayers. The aforesaid articulated mechani-cal assembly is housed on one side of the central column, perpendicu-lar to the one that houses the cross beam bearing the loading head; the SCARA arm performs vertical move-ments by sliding on the central col-umn to pick up and release the pal-lets and the interlayers and moves horizontally in a range of 180° to transfer the pallets and interlayers from their magazines to the pal-letising pallet. These operations are handled by the machine’s automation and con-trol system in perfect synch with the operations performed by the layer-loading head, so that the vertical and horizontal movements of the various mechanical units installed on the central column can follow precise and coordinated trajecto-ries that prevent any contact or in-terference between them.

Neat and logistically efficient end of lineThe new palletisers of the Smipal APS PLUS series adopt a number of design features that, compared to traditional solutions, have led to a significant reduction in the size and overall dimensions of the sys-tem. Furthermore, the integration of multiple functions (all housed in one central column) offers con-siderable advantages as far as operative flexibility, workplace safety and machine maintenance are concerned. Another advan-tage of the compact design of the APS PLUS systems is the option of concentrating the use of forklifts, transpallets, etc. in a well-defined zone, optimizing the management of the loading and unloading ar-eas. In fact, since the pallets and inter-layers are handled on the same side of the palletiser, this does not interfere with the other activities of the production line. With its compact size, the Smipal system can be easily installed also in bottling and packaging lines, the end line area of which is enclosed in cramped spaces.

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

E uropool was established in Parma in 1993 in the heart of the Italian Food

Valley, an area par excellence of the technology applied to the food, packaging and bottling industry. Eu-ropool’s mission is to provide a high standard of engineering for bott-ling and packaging lines. Europool seeks out the most advantageous solutions thanks to their technology and market solution know-how as well as the extensive experience of their team of engineers and techni-cians. For each project Europool acts as

a technical office at the service of the customer in order to obtain so-lutions with definitive costs and ti-mes. Europool offers the customer a glo-bal service: sourcing of suppliers and their quality control, coordina-tion and direction even for subsi-diary works, drawing up of systems plans, safety requirements and per-sonnel training.

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

terfacing with pre-existing or third party devices which requires us to predict and prevent any critical is-sues in the product flow and at the same time to comply with maximum production flexibility.This is possible thanks in part to the new Europool Aculine which is a single line accumulation conveyor equipped to manage all types of products. In the event of problems on the line upstream this application accumu-lates the flow of bottles exiting the primary packaging machines wi-thout holding up production.

Needs of the customer:1) Complete automation solution from a single supplier 2) Modularity of the machine3) Reduction of the number of pro-duct codes / Improved service and warehouse management costs4) Energy savings5) Electrical panel reduction6) Cabling costs reduction 7) Reduction of start-up and optimi-sation times / costs

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

fault management.2) Control of the entire machine pro-cess is managed with the SEW PLC MoviPlc DHF41B board with stan-dard IEC 61131-3 programming. This board allows management of all the SEW automation products (Movigear / Brushless) as well as all the sensor components for bot-tle counting or accumulation mana-gement. 3) The bottle conveyor belts are moved with the mechanatronics Movigear B system which includes inverter, brushless motor and paral-lel axis reducer in one product. This product provides a series of advan-tages: IE4 energy efficiency, reduc-tion of installed power, creation of a line with a limited number of codes thanks to the fact that it allows a high range of speeds, managing up to 250% of the rated torque in the

take-off phase. All the machine sensors are con-nected to the GIO11B boards which reside on the Movigear for remote digital intake and output manage-ment, significantly reducing cabling times / costs. 4) Positioning of the accumulation trolley was managed with the ECR Movigear B version with built in en-coder.5) The linear motion of the belts is synchronised by means of a SEW PLC board with the rotary motion of the belts used for transfer of the bottles onto the accumulation belt. This rotary motion is generated by two servo geared motors controlled by SEW Movidrive actuation.

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

T he term ‘convenience’ can mean many things in food pack-aging – functionality and easy

handling, microwavability, easy opening and closing, and ‘eating on the go’ are all obvious examples. But convenience can also refer to extending the shelf life of products or ensuring their safe handling in a busy kitchen environment. For these requirements and more, plas-tic has few equals. Its many convenience benefits have been invaluable both in helping to develop market sectors and to launch new products. The variety of pots and tubs created for dips, salads and all types of snacking on the move, and the introduction of high barrier squeezy sauce bottles are just two examples. Barrier technology in particular has opened up a whole new market for ex-tended ambient shelf life convenience products such as ready meals, sauces, soups, fruit desserts, nuts, vegetable spreads, dairy products and pickles. What’s more, plastic technology has the flexibility to offer different processes to meet the needs of different product types. Europe’s leading rigid plastics packaging supplier RPC Group uses all three of the major plastic manufacturing techniques – thermoforming, blow moulding and injection moulding – to provide tailored packaging solutions for individual prod-uct characteristics or branding require-ments, for example the need for reclos-ability, intricate eye-catching designs, or a large family-size pack.Two solutions from RPC for Heinz’s fa-mous Baked Beans demonstrate the flexibility of barrier plastics to meet dif-ferent market requirements. A 1kg blow moulded jar is being used for the Fridge Pack, which combines extended shelf life with portion control - once opened the jar can be resealed and stored in the fridge for up to five days. Meanwhile, thermo-forming produces the popular Snap Pots,

which provide convenient microwavable individual portions.Plastics’ design flexibility is another key factor in the material’s success. RPC Barrier Containers recently developed a long shelf life ambient packaging solu-tion for a range of ready meals produced by French foodservice specialist Soulié Restauration, part of the William Saurin Group. The barrier pack provides a shelf life of up to 18 months for the ready-to-heat typical French recipes. The custom-designed tub and lid have been created to resemble a traditional casserole pot and are coloured red or yellow depending on the product. The eye-catching colours and innovative de-sign help to create on-shelf impact and brand differentiation in a highly competi-tive market sector.Such design flexibility is not restricted to bespoke pack designs. RPC Super-fos’s SuperLock® containers combine an oxygen barrier on all surfaces with a membrane seal to ensure an almost non-existent oxygen transmission rate. This provides an ambient shelf life of up to 24 months for a wide range of products.The innovative in-mould label which in-

corporates the barrier also offers high quality printing to create outstanding and eye-catching graphics that deliver effec-tive brand identity and on-shelf appeal on crowded retail shelves. Another standard container solution from RPC Bebo Plastik is meeting the dual needs of the convenience of re-closing and the reassurance of tamper-evidence for a variety of spreadable products such as cheese, margarine and butter.The new Bebo Swing incorporates a unique perforation process which en-sures easy opening. The re-closable lid can be hinged or fully removed. The lid is welded to the tub through ultrasonic welding.The result of all these convenience and design benefits is that plastic is replac-ing more traditional materials for many food packing applications. For example, Bornholms, a market leader in seafood in Scandinavia, is converting most of its packaging solutions from cans to plastic packs from RPC Superfos, citing the ben-efits of improved logistics, user-friendli-ness and a shelf life of two years under ambient temperatures. RPC Superfos has developed a series of

four types of packaging with an entirely new oxygen barrier solution, created es-pecially for Bornholms. Under ambient temperatures, the shelf life is two years. Bornholms says the conversion has ena-bled it to increase the filling speed, re-duce the cost of the packaging material and optimise logistics. Another very posi-tive effect has been the reduced carbon footprint. Material conversion has also been seen frequently in the busy kitchen environ-ment where multilayer plastic has long been considered a safe and more mod-ern packaging solution. In collaboration with RPC, Citres Spa, the Italian food spe-cialist in pickles, pesti and sauces, is pio-neering the supply of its products in new polypropylene jars.With a major focus of its turnover in Northern Europe, Citres Spa has devel-oped a plan to meet the needs of cus-tomers in markets which for some time have restricted and in certain cases banned the use of glass in foodservice kitchens, requiring instead the introduc-tion of more ecological, safe and light-weight jars.The company has therefore worked with RPC to develop a solution that meets its requirements for long shelf life (up to 36 months), lightness, resealability, recycla-bility and easy opening, while maintain-ing the freshness and authenticity of the products. The RPC jars all feature a multi-layer PP/EVOH/PP construction that can be pasteurised and sterilised to provide a long ambient shelf life.Following the success of its multilayer

bottles and jars for glass replacement, RPC Corby has now also launched mod-ern plastic alternatives to the tin can and composite pack. Both the Apollo and Artemis containers combine extended ambient shelf life, featuring a PP/EVOH/PP multilayer struc-ture for the effective protection against oxygen ingress, with all the established lightweight, easy handling and safety benefits of plastics. They also offer the convenience of re-closing.The 380ml Apollo is suitable for a variety of food processes including hot fill, retort and pasteurising, and offers an attrac-

tive, fluted design in the same diameter as a can, with full sleeving and labelling options to create effective branding and on-shelf appeal. It is also stackable to maximise shelf space.The Artemis jar meanwhile offers a prac-tical and convenient solution for a variety of dried, powdered and granulated prod-

ucts such as nuts, instant coffee and in-fant milk formula.The high barrier material structure pro-tects products against moisture and oxygen (and has the option of a UV-light inhibitor), meaning there is no need for the product to be bagged inside the con-tainer.The many convenience benefits of plas-tics also offer important environmental advantages. Lighter containers save on raw material usage and reduce the car-bon footprint of transportation, while re-closable packs and extended shelf life do much to help reduce food wastage.

Such a variety of pack solutions for a wealth of different products underlines plastics’ strength and versatility. Indeed, given its design flexibility, sus-tainability benefits and convenience, it is hard to imagine what the food market would be like today without plastic pack-aging.

RPC BIETET EINE FÜLLE VON CONVENIENCE-LÖSUNGENI n der Lebensmittelverpackung

trägt der Begriff „Convenience“ (gleichbedeutend mit „prakti-

scher Nutzen“ oder „praktische Vortei-le“) vielerlei Bedeutung – Funktionalität und Anwenderfreundlichkeit, Aufwär-men in der Mikrowelle, einfaches Öffnen und Schließen sowie Essen „on the Go“

sind einleuchtende Beispiele. Allerdings kann sich Convenience auch auf verlän-gerte Haltbarkeit von Produkten oder deren sichere Handhabung in betriebsa-men Küchen beziehen.Was diese und weitere Anforderungen angeht, suchen Kunststoffe ihresglei-chen. Ihre vielen praktischen Vortei-

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

sbezügliche Beispiele. Insbesondere die Barrieretechnologie eröffnet einen komplett neuen Markt für bei Raumtemperatur länger halt-bare Convenience-Produkte wie Fertig-mahlzeiten, Soßen, Suppen, Fruchtdes-serts, Nüsse, pflanzliche Aufstriche, Molkereiprodukte und Sauerkonserven. Aufgrund ihrer Flexibilität bietet die Kunststofftechnologie zudem vielfältige, auf verschiedene Produkttypen abge-stimmte Verfahren.Als Europas führender Anbieter von star-ren Kunststoffverpackungen nutzt die RPC Group die drei führenden Kunst-stoffherstellungsverfahren – Thermofor-men, Blasformen und Spritzguss – für Verpackungslösungen nach Maß. Dabei werden individuelle Produkteigen-schaften oder Branding-Anforderungen berücksichtigt, zum Beispiel die Notwen-digkeit der Wiederverschließbarkeit, komplexe und auffallende Designs oder große Familienpackungen.Zwei Lösungen von RPC für die berühmten Baked Beans von Heinz beweisen die Flexibilität von Barrierekunststoffen, wenn es gilt, unterschiedlichen Marktan-forderungen gerecht zu werden. Ein blasgeformter 1-kg-Behälter wird für die Kühlschrankpackung (Fridge Pack) verwendet, wobei verlängerte Halt-barkeit und Portionskontrolle unter ei-nen Hut gebracht werden – nach dem Öffnen kann der Behälter wieder ver-schlossen und bis zu fünf Tage lang im Kühlschrank aufbewahrt werden. Indes gehen aus dem Thermoformen die be-liebten Snap Pots hervor, die praktische, in der Mikrowelle aufwärmbare Einzel-portionen bieten.Die gestalterische Flexibilität von Kunststoffen ist ein weiterer wichtiger Faktor für ihren Erfolg. RPC Barrier Containers entwickelte kürzlich eine bei Raumtemperatur lange haltbare Verpackungslösung für ein Sortiment an Fertigmahlzeiten des französischen Foodservice-Spezialisten Soulié Restau-ration, einem Unternehmensbereich der William Saurin Group. Die Barriere-packung gewährleistet bis zu 18-mona-tige Haltbarkeit der aufwärmbereiten, typisch französischen Rezepte.

Der spezielle Becher mitsamt Deckel ähnelt einer traditionellen Kasserolle und ist je nach Produkt rot oder gelb gefärbt. Die auffälligen Farben und das innovative Design stechen im Laden-regal ins Auge und gewährleisten die Markendifferenzierung in einem hart umkämpften Marktsektor.Diese gestalterische Flexibilität be-schränkt sich nicht auf Verpackungsde-signs nach Maß. SuperLock®-Behälter von RPC Super-fos verbinden eine Sauerstoffbarriere auf allen Oberflächen mit einer Mem-brandichtung, um fast völlige Sauerstof-fundurchlässigkeit zu gewährleisten. Und das Ergebnis? Ein breites Pro-duktspektrum, das bei Raumtemperatur 24 Monate haltbar ist.Das Innovative, die Barriere enthalten-den In-Mould-Label ermöglichen zudem hochwertiges Bedrucken … für hervorra-gende und ins Auge fallende Grafiken, die in dicht gedrängten Regalen eine attraktive, effektive Markenidentität ver-mitteln. Eine weitere standardmäßige Behäl-terlösung von RPC Bebo Plastik schlägt zwei Convenience-Fliegen mit einer Klap-pe: einerseits Wiederverschließbarkeit und andererseits Originalitätssicherung bei unterschiedlichsten streichfähigen Erzeugnissen wie Käse, Margarine und Butter. Neu ist Bebo Swing: hier gewährleistet ein einzigartiges Perforationsverfahren das einfache Öffnen. Der wiederver-schließbare Deckel wird klappbar oder abnehmbar gestaltet. Der Deckel ist

durch Ultraschallschweißung mit dem Becher verbunden. Das Ergebnis all dieser Convenience- und Design-Vorteile ist, dass Kunststoff traditionelle Materialien bei zahlreichen Lebensmittelverpackungsanwendungen ablöst. Beispielsweise stellt Bornholms, ein Marktführer für Fischprodukte in Skan-dinavien, die meisten seiner Verpa-ckungslösungen von Dosen auf Kunst-stoffbehälter von RPC Superfos um. Als Gründe hierfür werden verbesserte Lo-gistik, Anwenderfreundlichkeit und zwei Jahre Haltbarkeit bei Raumtemperatur angeführt. RPC Superfos entwickelte insgesamt vier Verpackungsarten mit einer völlig neuen Sauerstoffbarrierelösung speziell für Bornholms. Bei Raumtemperatur ist zweijährige Haltbarkeit gegeben.Eigenen Angaben zufolge konnte Bor-nholms – durch die Umstellung – die Abfüllgeschwindigkeit erhöhen, die Ko-sten des Verpackungsmaterials senken und die Logistik optimieren. Ein weiterer sehr positiver Effekt ist die verbesserte Klimabilanz. Auch in betriebsamen Küchen, in de-nen mehrlagiger Kunststoff seit Lan-gem als sichere und moderner Ver-packungslösung gilt, hat sich häufig eine Materialumstellung vollzogen. In Abstimmung mit RPC setzt Citres Spa, ein italienischer Spezialist für sauer eingelegtes Gemüse, Pesto-Varianten und Soßen, auf neue Behälter aus PP.Im Mittelpunkt steht der Absatz in den nordeuropäischen Ländern.

führte Citres Spa dazu, sich über die Erwartungen von Kunden in Märkten Gedanken zu machen, in denen der Einsatz von Glas im Gastronomie- und Großküchenbereich zum Teil einge-schränkt oder sogar untersagt ist. Folglich sind auf solchen Märkten nachhaltige, sichere Behälter mit geringem Eigengewicht an der Tage-sordnung. Daher hat sich das Unter-nehmen gemeinsam mit RPC mit der Entwicklung einer Lösung befasst, die über eine lange Haltbarkeit (bis zu 36 Monaten) im Regal hinaus mit folgen-den Eigenschaften aufwartet: geringes Eigengewicht, Wiederverschließbar-keit, Recyclingfähigkeit und leichtes Öffnen. Gleichzeitig sollten die Behälter weiterhin Frische und die traditionsbe-tonte Positionierung vermitteln.Alle eingesetzten Behälter von RPC zeichnen sich durch einen mehrschich-tigen PP/EVOH/PP-Aufbau aus. Sie können pasteurisiert und sterilisiert werden, zwei Voraussetzungen für eine lange Haltbarkeit bei Raumtemperatur.Aufgrund des Erfolges seiner mehr-lagigen Glasersatz-Flaschen und

-Behälter hat RPC Corby jetzt auch moderne Kunststoffalternativen zur Weißblechdose und Verbundpackung eingeführt. Die Apollo- und Artemis-Behälter zeichnen sich durch verlän-gerte Haltbarkeit bei Raumtemperatur und einen mehrschichtigen PP/EVOH/PP-Aufbau für den wirksamen Schutz vor Sauerstoffeintrag aus. Hinzu kom-men alle von Kunststoffen gebotenen Pluspunkte wie geringes Gewicht, ein-fache Handhabung und Sicherheit und – nicht zuletzt – die praktische Wieder-verschließbarkeit.Der 380 ml fassende Apollo-Behälter eignet sich für eine Vielzahl von Le-bensmittelverfahren einschließlich Heißabfüllung, Retortenbehandlung und Pasteurisierung und bietet ein at-traktives, geriffeltes Design mit demsel-ben Durchmesser wie eine Dose sowie umfassende Sleeving- und Etikettie-rungsmöglichkeiten für effektives Bran-ding und Attraktivität im Regal. Zur optimalen Nutzung des Regelraums ist er auch stapelbar. Der Artemis-Behäl-ter hingegen bietet eine praktische Convenience-Lösung für eine Vielzahl

von getrockneten, pulverförmigen und körnigen Produkten: als Beispiele se-ien Nüsse, löslicher Kaffee und Bab-ymilchpulver genannt. Das Hochbar-rierematerial-Gefüge schützt Produkte vor Feuchtigkeit und Sauerstoff (optio-nal ist ein UV-Licht-Inhibitor möglich), weshalb das Produkt keine Beutel in-nen im Behälter erfordert.Die zahlreichen praktischen Vorteile von Kunststoffen bieten auch wichti-ge Umweltvorteile. Leichtere Behälter sparen Rohstoffe und verbessern die Klimabilanz im Hinblick auf den Tran-sport, wogegen wiederverschließbare Packungen und verlängerte Haltbar-keit einen wesentlichen Beitrag zu re-duzierter Lebensmittelverschwendung leisten.Derart vielfältige Verpackungslösun-gen für eine Fülle von verschiedenen Produkten unterstreichen die Solidität und Vielseitigkeit von Kunststoffen. Angesichts ihrer gestalterischen Flexi-bilität, Nachhaltigkeit und Convenience ist kaum vorstellbar, wie der heutige Lebensmittelmarkt ohne Kunststoffver-packungen aussehen würde.

D rying is the oldest system to preserve food. Open air drying using sun and

wind has been practiced since an-cient times. Industrial equipments can ensure more consistent results speeding the process, improving quality and reducing costs.In addition to this dryers are used for the treatment of additives, es-sences, dyes, and in general all industrial products utilized in food processing.Given the breadth of the field of application, the type of machines is very variable and ranges from the little tunnel used by the farmer for local production of high quality dried food up to the big belt con-veyor dryer or fluidized bed for the large scale food industry.According to the principle of opera-tion and to products treated we can distinguish the following “families” of dryers.

Tunnel dryers model LIBECCIO and GHIBLI The process performed in the tun-nel dryer is the closest system to the natural sun drying.Material to be dried is placed on trays and closed into an insulated “room” with controlled air flow and temperature. Trays can be fixed or, usually, resting on wheeled carts. The drying time ranges from 6 to 48 hours according to the product. Size of the machine is defined by the useful drying surface and var-ies from 10 to 860 m2. Capacity depends on the product that can be loaded at a rate of 5-20 Kg per square meter.Substances to eliminate pests and melds can be added to the air flow. This kind of dryers is used for fruit and vegetables. Little and sophisti-cated models are

dedicated to sensitive and expensive materials like medicinal herbs and saf-fron.

Belt conveyor dryers model ETLThey are single or multiple belts dryers having from 5 up to 500 sq\m. useful surface, fitted with high ef-ficiency ventilation system and intermediate reheat-ing of the drying air if re-quired. The dryer ETL is continuous, fully automatic equipment suitable for medium and large productions. It consists of one or more perforat-ed strips on witch the product, load-ed with continuity, moves at a con-stant speed. The drying is produced by a stream of air passing through tape and product. Part of the circu-lating air is extracted by a fan and replaced by an equally amount of hot air. The entire system is divided into standard “zones” that differ in the direction of the air flow. Tem-perature, air flow and relative mois-ture of air are controlled by the au-tomatic control system. Such kind of dryers is used for sliced fruit or vegetables like apples, carrots, on-ions, spinach, or herbs and flower like chamomile

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

material creating the so called “flu-idized bed” A slow blender moves the whole mass in such a way that is homogeneously invested by the air. Filter bags are placed over the drying chamber to avoid dust pol-lution. The working principle is simple and is based on the exposi-tion of the product to a direct hot air stream. The air in contact with the product gives it part of its inter-nal energy. This causes the water evaporation and, at the same time, the reduction of air temperature. Material can be loaded batch wise (TS type) or continuously, and dis-charged batch wise (TS, TS PULSE) or continuously. This system guar-antees the higher performances and efficiency, and can be utilized for light particles, dust or paste.

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

sugar, but in some circumstances also liquids).Constructively the TSF looks similar to TS family using the same patent-ed drying tray to separate the inlet air chamber to the drying chamber. Difference is the speed of the pro-cess and the extraction system of exhaust air that allow adjusting the residence time of dust inside the dryer.

APPLICATION EXAMPLE: TS PULSE DRYER FOR GREATED CHEESEAs, and more than other foods, the cheese is an alive product. The dry-ing’s plant doesn’t have only to re-duce moisture but also to preserve the aspect, the colour and the taste of the product. The time of treat-ment has to be brief, to avoid the “cooking” of the material, and this eliminates in prior all the systems to indirect exchange. The air that produce the drying has however to be attentively dosed. A too elevated quantity of air, in fact, makes the product “rough” and undesirable to the palate. For this reason the flash technique cannot be applied.The best choice is so the TS dryer that is loaded directly from the grat-ers. The drying time is 30-40 min-

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

APPLICATION EXAMPLE: TSA DRYER FOR BREADCRUMBSDomestic breadcrumbs are ob-tained by slow natural drying of waste bread. But for industrial ap-plication fresh bread is realized exactly for this purpose and must be quickly dried. The process must be continuous. Both Turboflash and TSA dryer are applicable but TSA allow treating bigger particles and for this reason is preferred. The ca-pacity of the most common plants ranges from 400 to 800 Kg/h of fresh material

APPLICATION EXAMPLE: TSF DRYER FOR FLOURThe natural moisture contents of flour are around 16%, but it has to reduce at 13 % of moisture, or less. So the dryer must Reduce the mois-ture contents to a value ranging (from 13% up to 2% in an only pas-sage and in automatic way) Avoid the damage of protein content The last point compels to use the TSF dryer that eliminate the effects of

the temperature. Residence time of product is less than one minutes. Standard capacity ranges from 1000 to 2000 kg/h.

APPLICATION EXAMPLE: ETL 40/2001 FOR CARROTS PEL-LETSAfter the extraction of juice, car-rots are a paste still containing sugar fibres and vitamins that can be useful as flour for industrial ap-plication. The product is sticky and delicate and requires a long drying time at low temperature. The ETL dryer allow to reduce the moisture contents from about 85% to less than 5% without damage or colour changes.

APPLICATION EXAMPLE: LI-BECCIO 300 FOR DATESDates require a long process before to be packed and sent around the world. At first is necessary to elimi-nate any possible ants, and, at the same time dry them to a very little value of moisture, allowing the stor-age. Naturally the product so treat-ed is hard like a stone and requires to be dehydrated before packing using steam. The dryer LIBECCIO al-low making all this operations with a single machine.

I shida Europe’s newest range of multihead weighers, the RV Series, has been independently certified as having a market-leading level of water and dust in-

gress protection for its WP waterproof models. This makes the weighers ideal for all types of fresh and frozen food applications, which require regular wash downs between shifts.IP rating tests were carried out at a leading UK independ-ent testing centre, which proved that the Ishida RV’s de-sign and assembly consistently comply with the highest industry standards. These relate to dust and water ingress resistance, including the most stringent IP-69K test. This compliance means the weighers are more water resistant than ever before and are perfectly suited in applications where equipment has to be thoroughly sanitized.In addition, the RV-WP range is also certified for IP-6X (dust tight), IP-X5 (protected against water jets), IP-X6 (against powerful water jets) and IP-X7 (protected against tempo-rary immersion).All tests were in accordance with BS EN 60529:1992 and Ishida believes it is the first company in its sector to have these tests completed and ratings successfully awarded by an official external body.The RV-WP models incorporate a number of design fea-tures to prevent water ingress and facilitate fast and easy cleaning. These include upgraded seal and gasket de-signs, and enhanced manufacturing assembly processes with increased fixing points for uniformed gasket compres-sion. The machines are also supplied with angled surfac-es for rapid wash down and run off (ensuring faster dry-ing times) and reduced crevices in bushings and hoppers, which helps to eliminate bacteria traps. As a result, the weighers offer maximum hygiene while minimising down-time for cleaning.“The successful compliance of these tests strongly dem-onstrates that our RV-WP specification machines are rig-orously engineered for waterproof protection,” comments Nigel Smith, Ishida Europe’s Multihead Weigher Applica-tions Specialist.“Scrupulous hygiene standards are essential for any fresh or frozen food operation but if a weigher is out of service for too long for cleaning, this can have a negative effective on production throughput and targets. Our RV-WP range has therefore not only been designed to be tough enough to handle anything during production but also to be able to withstand a thorough clean in the fastest possible time.”

This range of Horizontal Form Fill and Seal Machines produces the highly successful Stand-Up Pouches, which are becoming extremely popular in a large number of different food, non-food and beverage industries.Innovation and diversification are the precepts that have inspired the PFM Group’s strategies over the last few years and the D-Series was developed precisely with these in mind: a ma-chine unparalleled on the market in terms of features and performance, the fruit of three years’ design, plan-ning and testing by companies in the PFM Group.The PFM D-Series Full Servo produces a vast range of stand-up pouches with

relative accessories for powder, gran-ular, dense and liquid products; the D-Series’ applied technology has ena-bled it to successfully overcome the most common problems encountered in producing pouches (easy format change, accessibility and hygiene) and is aimed at narrowing the gap between the machine and operators deriving from its complex use. The machine produces flat or stand –up packages, shaped on upper and/or lateral sides, with zip or central/lateral cap. The ma-chine is supplied complete with a wide range of optionals for modified atmos-phere packaging and various dosing systems for liquid and dense products. “With the D-Series,” Andrea Fioravanti, Research and Development Director, has announced, “PFM have speeded up innovation by allocating over 3% of

their turnover to research and devel-opment. The PFM D-Series is a range of extremely innovative machines that demonstrates PFM’s experience in us-ing state-of-the-art mechatronic tech-nologies for processing flexible film. The D-Series opens up new horizons in the pouch sector by offering the opportunity to modify times, sealing pressure and cutting pitch from the recipe; it comes complete with self-diagnostic alarm systems and offers easy maintenance and sanitisation, high performance and easy format changeover. The PFM D-Series brings total innovation to the industry: it facili-tates operators in every sense thereby allowing higher production rates to be achieved through its excellent overall performance and extremely short for-mat changeover times”.

M ini Motor’s success to-day is still based on its founder’s original

insight: get the best performance and efficiency from much smaller gear motors than those sold by its competitors. And why? Fewer instal-lation problems for customers and more potential applications for Mini Motor gear motors in different fields of manufacturing. That was in 1974 and this initial idea took the com-pany a long way, backed by a ma-nufacturing philosophy that went against the flow: put the focus on absolute product quality, designing and making motors and gear units entirely in-house.

Subsequent developments in technology applied to automation was an ultimate boost for Mini Mo-tor’s production: by adopting robotic machines, it was not only able to in-crease its production volumes and continue to expand its range, it was also able to perfect the accuracy of its controls applied at every stage of the manufacturing process.In more recent years, Mini Motor has prepared an ISO 8 Clean Room (ca-tegory 100000) so it can make spe-cial production runs in small quanti-ties in decontaminated conditions: another step forward to increasingly enhanced product customisation and bespoke customer service.

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

MINI MOTOR: GET BIGGER BY THINKING SMALLER.

corporate video, available to view on its website. However, there is also a fourth value revolving around the concept of customisation. Because, Mini Motor’s mission continues to fo-cus on supplying bespoke products capable of meeting specific deman-ds in terms of dimensions, challen-ging applications, extreme tempera-ture conditions, and anything else above and beyond the standard pro-ducts available on the market.

A new range in the name of innovation.Mini Motor current range has tens of thousands of different pro-duct codes, with different types of equipment, various power ranges and reduction ratios, types of con-nection, different degrees of pro-tection and options. Other variables also come into play depending on

the specific demand that each pro-duct was designed to handle, such as special paints, increased power ratings, etc. Mini Motor decided to organise this vast number of product codes by dividing its range into four main ca-tegories: coaxial gear motors, worm screw gear motors, brushless servo-motors and drivers.The new XC Series of worm screw gear motors provide 1 Hp maximum power even if they are just 288 mm long. They are 30% smaller than competing motors providing similar power, but offer 20% better perfor-mance. The standard versions offer IP65 protection but an IP67 version is also available on request.The new DBS brushless servomo-tors with integrated driver is the true “flagship” of Mini Motor’s produc-tion: the servomotor and driver have been made into a single, exceptio-nally compact product, ideal for pro-duct changeover systems. The th-ree-phase 4-pole sinusoidal motor is completely enclosed, with a thermal safety feature, class F winding, and IP65 protection. The DBS55 version has a 55 mm flange and torque up to 0.7 Nm. The driver has a 24 to 48 Vdc power supply and has an absolute, multi-turn SSI magnetic encoder, enabling control of torque, speed, position and homing. The optionals include the DP profibus. Planetary or worm screw versions of the reduction unit are available.

Its other products include the new MCBS and MCFBS brushless ser-vo gear motors - the latest deve-lopment in worm screw gear mo-tors- and the new Miniaction range of drivers and frequency converters offering an outstanding performan-ce / price ratio.

Joining forces with Studer for uncompromising precision.Mini Motor has again turned to a Studer automatic machine to safe-guard the utmost grinding accura-cy of its gear units. The new unit is called the S22 and can undertake traditional cylinder grinding on the production line, as well as grinding shapes and threads at high speed (HSP), ideal for the production at Mini Motor that not only demands high quality, it is also large scale and has to be “flexible”. On its side, Mini Motor played an important part in the engineering of the S22 by gi-ving it an extra automatic function, enabling the straightening of all the gears directly in the production line after they have undergone heat pro-cessing and before they undergo cylinder grinding.By confirming its confidence in the Swiss brand Studer, Mini Motor is underlining its intention to keep its entire production cycle in-house, with the aim of guaranteeing the “absolute quality” that is acknowled-ged by Mini Motor customers all over the world.

D er Erfolg von Mini Motor beruht nach wie vor auf der ursprünglichen Intui-

tion des Gründers: Mit im Vergleich zur Konkurrenz sehr viel kleineren Getriebemotoren hohe Leistungen und Performance erzielen. Und was ergibt sich daraus? Für den Kunden weniger Installationsprobleme und für Mini Motor mehr Anwendung-smöglichkeiten für die Getriebemo-toren in verschiedenen Branchen. Man schrieb das Jahr 1974 und diese von einer gegen den Trend laufenden Fertigungsphilosophie unterstützte Intuition sollte das Un-ternehmen weit bringen: Im eige-nen Haus und mit Blick auf die ab-solute Produktqualität Motoren und Getriebe planen sowie herstellen.

Dank der Entwicklung von Automa-tisierungstechnologien erfuhr die Produktion im Hause Mini Motor einen entscheidenden Impuls. Der Einsatz von robotisierten Maschi-nen ermöglichte dem Unternehmen die Steigerung der Produktionsmen-gen und eine stete Erweiterung des Produktangebots sowie eine ver-

besserte Präzision der Ansteuerung in allen Fertigungsphasen.In den letzten Jahren hat Mini Mo-tor einen Reinraum ISO 8 (Klasse 100000) eingerichtet, durch den nun dekontaminierte Sonderpro-duktionen mit geringen Stückzahlen möglich sind und dies ist ein weite-rer Schritt in Richtung immer mehr auf den Kunden abgestimmter Pro-dukte und Dienstleistungen.

40 Jahre und 1 Million Motoren.Gegen Ende des Jahres 2013 – am Vorabend des 40-jährigen Be-stehens – baute Mini Motor den ersten Getriebemotor mit einer sie-benstelligen Seriennummer. Dieses Ergebnis gibt Anstoß dazu, über die Firmenwerte nachzudenken, die es

möglich machten. Für Mini Motor konkretisieren sich diese Werte in der sehr hohen Fertigungsqualität, die bei der Wahl der Werkstof-fe beginnt, in der absoluten Be-triebspräzision, die eine hohe und konstante Performance gewährlei-stet, und in der hochwertigen Effi-zienz, die höhere Leistungen bei zugleich geringen Verbrauchswer-ten ermöglicht. Ergänzt werden diese drei Werte – die im Online-Präsentationsvideo von Mini Motor deutlich aufgezeigt sind – durch ei-nen vierten Wert: Das Konzept der Anpassung an die Kundenanforde-rungen. All dies, damit im Sinne der Leitlinie von Mini Motor weiterhin Ad-hoc-Lösungen geliefert werden, welche die besonderen Anforde-rungen hinsichtlich Größe, Anwen-dungsbedingungen, extremer Tem-peraturen, also Aspekte, die das Standardangebot auf dem Markt übersteigen, erfüllen.

Eine neue Reihe im Zeichen der Innovation.Zum heutigen Tag zählt die Mini Motor-Produktion einige zehn-tausend Artikel, die sich nach Geräteart, verfügbaren Leistun-gen, Übersetzungsverhältnissen, Anschlusstypen, Schutzgrad und Sonderausrüstungen unterschei-den. Je nach spezifischer Funktion, für die das Produkt bestimmt ist, kommen darüber hinaus weitere Variablen wie Speziallackierungen, Leistungspotenzierung usw. ins Spiel. Infolge dieser Multiplikation von Artikeln hat Mini Motor das Produktangebot in vier große Kate-gorien aufgeteilt: Koaxialgetriebe-motoren, Schneckengetriebemoto-ren, Brushless-Servomotoren und Antriebe.

Die neuen Schneckengetriebemo-toren der Serie XC entwickeln eine maximale Leistung von 1 PS in nur 288 mm Länge. Im Vergleich zu Konkurrenzmotoren mit gleicher Leistung sind sie um 30% kleiner,

obgleich sie eine um 20% höhere Leistung bieten. Sie werden mit der Schutzart IP65 und auf Anfrage auch in der Ausführung IP67 geliefert.

Die neuen Brushless-Servomoto-ren der Serie DBS mit integriertem Antrieb sind die Glanzstücke der neuen Produktion aus dem Hause Mini Motor: Servomotor und Antrieb bilden ein einziges Produkt von außergewöhnlicher Kompaktheit, ideal für die Formatwechselsy-steme. Der 4-polige Sinusmotor ist ein Drehstrommotor in gesch-lossener Ausführung mit Thermo-schutzschalter, Isolationsklasse F und Schutzart IP65. Das Modell DBS55 verfügt über einen 55-mm-Flansch und ein Drehmoment von bis zu 0,7 Nm. Der Antrieb, mit ei-ner Speisung von 24 bis 48 Vdc, ist mit einem magnetischen Multiturn-Absolutwertgeber SSI ausgestattet und ermöglicht die Ansteuerung des Drehmoments, der Geschwin-digkeit, der Position und des Ho-mings. Zu den Optionals zählt der Profibus DP. Das Getriebe ist ein Planeten- oder ein Schneckenge-triebe.Weitere Neuheiten betreffen die Brushless-Servogetriebemotoren der Baureihen MCBS und MCFBS – die moderne Entwicklung der Schneckengetriebemotoren – und die neue Baureihe der Antriebe und

Frequenzumrichter Miniaction, die sich durch ein beispielloses Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis auszeichnet.

Zusammen mit Studer – kompromisslose Präzision.Um maximale Präzision in der Nachbearbeitung der Zahnradge-triebe zu gewährleisten, setzt Mini Motor nun zum zweiten Mal eine automatische Studer-Maschine ein. Die möglichen Bearbeitungen mit der neuen Einheit namens S22 sind herkömmliches Rundschleifen im Produktionsumfeld, aber auch Formen- und Gewindeschleifen mit Hochgeschwindigkeit (HSP). Somit eignet sie sich bestens für die An-forderungen einer Produktion von höchster Qualität, die umfassend und „flexibel“ ist – eben ganz im Sinne von Mini Motor. Überdies hat Mini Motor zum Projekt der S22 beigetragen und sie um eine wei-tere automatische Funktion erwei-tert, die das In-Line-Richten aller thermisch behandelter Zahnräder ermöglicht, bevor sie dem Run-dschleifen unterzogen werden.Das Vertrauen in die Schweizer Marke Studer bekräftigend, be-zeugt Mini Motor weiterhin das Stre-ben nach der Aufrechterhaltung der kompletten In-House-Produktion, was eben die „absolute Qualität“ sichert, die heute von den Kun-den des Hauses weltweit geschätzt wird.

H erti is one of the leading manufacturers of alumi-num ROPP closures, loca-

ted in Bulgaria. Founded in 1993 as a start-up company specialized in metal packaging and producing only two kin-ds of aluminum caps, it is now a public company with five daughter companies in the UK, France, Germany, Romania and Bulgaria. Herti offers different si-zes of closures that cover 95% of the aluminum closures available on the market. Over the years the product ran-ge has been extended permanently and currently contains more than 40 diffe-rent types of closures with a diameter from 17mm to 43mm and a height from 12mm to 60mm. The Company produ-ces over one billion caps per year and sells them in 50 countries worldwide on 6 continents. The modern production facilities and machinery are situated on 8 hectares own land, that provide for the full pro-duction circle, meeting all business and ecological requirements.

The management is committed to qua-lity and customer satisfaction. It explo-

res new opportunities and uses latest technologies to be in compliance with the highest quality standards of the market. Herti develops and markets new products every year together with its subsidiary company Tihert JSC, spe-cializing in tool production. In constant aspiration for progressing, Herti deve-lops innovative ideas, corresponding to the company slogan “Your brand to-morrow is our business today”. Herti’s customers are leading world producers of different types of wines and spirits, mineral water, juices, olive oil and phar-maceutical products. The aluminum closures contribute to 75% of the sales, but the company offers also plastic and composite closures – a combination of aluminum and plastic- that increase in popularity especially among spirit pro-ducers. The Company is certified by ISO 9000 since 2000. Since 2010 it is certified by BRC/IOP – The Global Standard for Packaging and Packaging Materials. The regular audits of the production process from key customers and part-ners are an additional incentive for con-tinuous improvement and perfection.

Last year the company celebrated its 20th anniversary. The year was marked with new projects and investment. Be-side for the wine sector Herti worked in other fields. A new varnishing and prin-ting machine was put in action. This is a high-tech production equipment with the possibility to check some key indi-cators in the production process. The machine will be connected to the new Herti control system and will send data automatically to SAP.The world trend in wine packaging is the use of aluminum screw caps and the management thinks that they have the greatest potential for future growth. Following the trends Herti has installed a Madag embossing and hot foil prin-ting machine to offer an additional cu-stomization and decoration options to the wine industry. “Vinstar ” is the re-gistered trade mark for the wine closu-res produced by the company. Through continuous efforts and extensive rese-arch Herti succeeded to establish a new product. “Vinstar Smart”, launched in February this year, is an aluminum clo-sure with PVC free granulate suitable for still and sparkling wines and is the first

of its kind on the market. It is supplied in two dimensions: 30x60 and 28x44 and with flat litho and offset multicolor printing and hot foil printing. With its di-stinctive characteristics Vinstar Smart expands the benefits which aluminum closures bring to the taste, quality and sustainability of wine: Excellent air-tightness, significantly bet-ter than current Saran-based liners Smooth and easy opening in spite of the tightness Keeps internal pressure up to 4 bars - the most suitable liner for a wide range of sparkling wines Universal closure – suitable for both still and sparkling wines Perfectly neutral from an organoleptic point of view

Liners suitable for pasteurization also available. The liner is fixed to the alu-minium - no risk of distortion after cool down Compatible with current wine bottles and capping equipment Another new product in the company’s portfolio is a PVC-free lined 28x15mm ROPP closure, suitable for ozone trea-ted, sensible waters and pasteurization processing.

From the beginning of 2014 Herti star-ted a new project for a composite closu-re for mineral waters, called “Dorado”. It will be launched on the market in the first half of 2015. The management of the company has always put efforts into strengthening positions and increasing market share, trying to guarantee an exclusive product quality, understand customers` needs, and providing every client with customized packaging solu-tions.

P ietribiasi Michelangelo was established between the end 1960 and the be-

ginning of the next decade. From the beginning the family-run com-pany specialized in the construction of equipment for the dairy industry and developed later into the field of soft drinks, juices and beverages in general. Today the Pietribiasi name is among the more well-known in the dairy and beverages sector and the company is internationally acknowledged, particularly in the re-alisation of “turn-key” projects, and in the specific processing sectors, such as production of cheeses, pasteurisa-tion and packaging ones. Looking more closely at the com-pany’s product ranges, the Pietribiasi division covers the research, project design and supply of complete sy-stems for the process of milk (HTST – HHTST – ESL – UHT), cream – fer-mented products from milk process (yoghurts in the various known ver-sions, sour cream, Smetana, kefir, leben, etc.), fresh soft cheeses, as well semi and hard cheeses, “pasta filata-pizza cheese” (such as mozza-rella, kashkaval, etc.) and other pro-ducts processed from cow – sheep and goat milks. In this field the company has a wide experience and can cover all equipment needs from small to big-ger plants for the production of: pa-steurized drinking milk, yoghurt, dif-ferent kinds of cheese, butter, etc. Pietribiasi designs and produces pla-te and tubular heat exchanger for pa-steurization and thermal treatment (cooling and/or heating) of different liquid foods (milk, cream, ice-cream mix, fruit juice, eggs mixture, beer, wine and many others).

In the beverage field, the range inclu-des pre-mix units, sugar dissolving systems, filters, mixing and storage tanks as well as of course the com-plete thermal treatment up to the filling. These kinds of plants are “tai-lor-made” and designed according to customer’s specific demands. The company is also renowned and appreciated for following products: Batch pasteurizers; discontinuous cream pasteurizers; butter churns (available in a wide range of models from 20 L to 3000 L total capacity); semi-automatic butter forming ma-chines. Its fifty-year experience in the food-stuff field, its long lasting coope-ration with many European organisa-tions and companies, the specialised knowledge in these processing fields, equipment and technologies, skilled

level of staff operating in Pietribiasi, a flexible and friendly management and lead of company by ownership, are the powerful basis of the success of Michelangelo Pietribiasi com-pany.

I n the packaging industry, the world has gotten a lot smal-ler. Today’s technologies (in-

ternet, email, universal translators, etc.) makes it possible to have e-mail discussions between two peo-ple who live on opposite ends of the world, are many time zones apart, and speak totally different langua-ges. So, anyone can buy direct from overseas manufacturers all day long, right?. Then, how has NOW Plastics business model, as a global importer/distributor/supplier and “virtual factory” of various types of plastic films and certain converted products not only survived, but has been thriving, in today’s global en-vironment???? Simple. The secret is that NOW Plastics Business Mo-del was designed to take away the uncertainty associated with Global Importation while opening up the entire global supply landscape at the service of its customers. As the experienced procurement manager well knows, buying films is not just about procuring some sheet of pla-stic that looks nice and clear at a great price and throw it on a machi-ne. All films are not alike even if they appear alike. Films such as polypropylene, polyester, nylon, and others are a proprietary chemi-cal formulation of resins and addi-tives, produced on production lines that can be as long as a football

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

THE VIRTUAL FACTORY MODELNow Plastics is a virtual factory. We have people and offices. But we do not have equipment (with the exception of some slitting and perforating equipment in the UK for fast response on certain products). We have a seemingly unlimited capacity of our core film products (see our advertisement on another page) via our producing partners to provide to our customers, mainly converters in soft as well as tight

markets. Our goal is to bring value to you. We are not worried about fil-ling out machines that need to run 24 hours. We are your long arm, ears and eyes. We are globally connected to film producers all around the world, with preferences of course as not all producers are created equal. That is one of our advantages. You get the benefit of 35 years of sup-plying overseas products into our domestic markets.

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

have different but equally tough requirements. We started Now Pla-stics UK in 2001 as a prelude to working in Europe. In 2009, we created local sales and logistic offices in Italy and Spain with technical support, developed a European invoicing system and VAT no’s and in the process learned a lot! Now, with this added expe-rience, we are expanding further with representation now in France and Poland, and soon in Germany and other places. Europe is more complicated but we adapt well and we prefer to do things right and not just grow uncontrolled. Our reputa-tion is the most important asset we have.

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

either a full warehouse program, or consignment programs or other hybrid supply type programs. We insist because it is our job to mana-ge risks, and buying films from of-fshore has huge benefits but some risks and those risks (late deliveri-es mainly) need to be mitigated. We manage open orders far better than factories do themselves. We see changes happening in the mar-kets and do our best to alert our customers to be prepared. We are transparent – we do not hide our supply sources and we transfer our knowledge and our level of confi-dence to you. We are your eyes and ears. We find ways to differentiate ourselves and to make a difference in your busi-ness. Over the long haul, we deli-ver the best overall value to your business. If we didn’t, we would not exist in this highly competitive market, let alone be growing quite nicely. And maybe most importantly – WE ARE HERE TO STAY. Now Pla-stics is not a here today, gone to-morrow phenomenon (those of you who remember the tight polyester market of 2010/2011 know what I am talking about!).

VETTING OF FACTORIESVetting of factories is a critical fun-ction. We do not buy sight unseen. We visit factories regularly, typically at least once a year, but sometimes more. It’s a lot of travel but it is important. Skype is nice but not a

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

THE ADVANTAGES OF NOW PLASTICSWe bring a multitude of advantages to the table: you cannot substitu-te for experience and we have 35 years of it, a proven track record and reputation, financial stability, a long term orientation, global min-dedness, the ability to craft custo-mized supply chains, multiplicity of supply coupled with full tran-sparency, local support, customer orientation, leveraging of your time by making importation easy for you, logistics management.And most of all, we are strategic thinkers and business people, so-mething you do not get with the normal sales representation from most factories.

A pioneering new foam tray deve-loped by leading

food packaging manufac-turer LINPAC Packaging for meat and fish pro-ducts can save retailers thousands of Euros each year thanks to its innovative absorbent core.The LINstar EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) tray incorpo-rates a built-in patented high capacity absorbent core to draw unsightly meat juices from view and prevent leaks from the pack, remo-ving the need for separate soaker pads which are found in standard EPS packs and often disliked by consumers.LINPAC Packaging, which has a manufacturing site in Verona and its sister company Infia based in Bertinoro, has developed the uni-que trays for Italian retailers and food manufacturers looking for lighter, value-added packaging and who want their products to stand out from the competition.Cristiano Madama, Managing Di-rector at LINPAC Verona, said: “Italy has been strongly affected by economic weakness and aging populations both of which have im-pacted consumer markets across Europe. The high unemployment rate and wavering consumer confidence has resulted in changes in the shopping behaviour of Italian con-sumers. In response, product and packa-ging manufacturers need to keep abreast of altering consumer pre-ferences in order to be able to ca-ter to wide-ranging demand.”Despite the challenging economy, the value of the Italian protein sec-

tor is forecast to grow by almost 10% between 2013 and 2017, from €13,402m to €14,691m. Market volume is ex-pected to see similar growth, of 12%, during the same period; in 2010 market volume in Italy was 1,837m Kg and by 2017 this is predicted to increase to 2,058m Kg (source: Canadean).Cristiano continued: “Changing consumer preferences are affec-ting the packaging industry in vari-ed ways, driving the need for grea-ter innovation and design. Our LINstar trays are at the cutting edge of innovation in EPS. The pa-tented absorbent core locks away meat juices, greatly improving the

on-shelf appearance of the product and driving up sales. Whilst the premium quality of LINstar com-mands a higher cost than that of a standard EPS foam tray, we are confident that retailers will reap the benefits of having an efficient packaging solution like LINstar on their shelves and will quickly see a return on their investment.”The LINstar trays were trialled by a leading supermarket retailer in The Netherlands early last year. The cost savings - €50,000 at one

store alone – led to the trays being rolled out for use across all its sto-res in the country.LINstar’s absorbent core signifi-cantly improves pack and meat presentation helping to drive sales and reduce the number of packs exceeding their sell-by date and wasted.“Consumers want a ‘clean’ pack and are likely to leave those which have blood and other juices visible on the shelf, even if the meat looks juicy and fresh,” said Cristiano. “Packaging manufacturers have

LINSTAR CASE STUDY

BackgroundIn February 2013, the LINPAC Packaging LINcare cu-stomer service team undertook a study with a leading Dutch retailer to assess the benefits of switching to premium LINstar EPS foam trays from standard EPS trays in one store.The store where the study was taking place used 350,000 standard EPS foam trays per year. Switching would require investment by the retailer, an increased cost of 12%. The team was interested to find out the true benefits this additional spend would bring to the retailer. They considered 6 key factors:•Impact on product wastage•Mark downs•Loss of sales due to reduced quality of meat in store•Re-wrapping costs•Extra bags at tills to wrap EPS meat packs•Cost of shelf cleaning from pack leaks

FindingsLINstar reduced in-store packed product waste by 1% due to the use of the more robust tray with an absor-bent core. The saving was due to improved pack aesthetics, which drove sales and led to a reduction of packs exceeding their sell-by date and thereby reducing in-store waste. This saving was estimated at €14,000 per year.Cost of shelf cleaning from pack leaks was significantly reduced. Switching to LINstar with its absorbent core to lock away juices and reduce leaks, saved the store two hours per week in cleaning - €3,000 per year in costs.

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

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

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

Finally, €280 was saved in additional bag consumption. The absorbent core in LINstar trays meant supermarket employees working on the tills did not need to wrap the packs in additional plastic bags – often used to ensure leakage didn’t contaminate consumers’ shopping with meat fluids between store and home.

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

been challenged with cutting waste across the whole supply chain – not just packaging waste but food waste too – and the LINstar tray excels in this area. With its lock-away core, the quality and freshness of meat was dee-med higher by consumers when it was packed in a LINstar tray com-pared with other EPS trays. This means the amount of pack price mark downs and loss of sa-les due to quality issues is greatly reduced.”EPS foam trays are often viewed as a low cost option for in-store pa-cking of goods. However, the asso-ciated cost of cleaning down shel-ving systems when packs leak as customers search for their prefer-red cut of meat is often not taken into account. Similarly, the extra

costs related to the rewrapping of leaking packs, for example additio-nal films, labels, printing and man hours are overlooked. The revolutionary absorbent core within LINstar trays means retai-lers will no longer be faced with these issues.The LINstar range delivers all the environmental benefits associated with EPS, making it an ideal choice for retailers and packers who are looking to minimise their carbon fo-otprint and drive up sustainability in their business.Alan Davey, Director of Innovation at LINPAC Packaging, said: “Foa-med materials meet all the requi-rements of modern packaging with regards to the environment and recycling.Given that EPS is 98 per cent air, it

is the ultimate low carbon packa-ging option. It is one of the lightest packaging solutions on the market significan-tly reducing transportation costs and thus further reducing the car-bon footprints of manufacturers and retailers throughout the supply chain.“EPS is fully recyclable and does not produce greenhouse gases on disposal, plus the energy con-sumption used in its manufacture can be recovered through incinera-tion.”LINstar trays are available in a range of vibrant colours to provide product differentiation and sizes to meet all requirements. The trays have been designed to suit both manual and automatic stretch wrapping machines.

Cibra has been making bag sealers since 1953. Its first sealing pincer for

polyethylene film is now in Milan’s Museum of Science and Technology. The basic range of multi-purpose sealers for plastic and multi-layer bags is complemented by the production of custom-made machines for special sealing problems, and sealing bars to be placed on special packaging lines.CIBRA’s sealers are mostly used at the end of the packaging line for food products, chemicals and pharmaceutical products, plastic and metallic parts and the like.All models by Cibra are meant to be used in high quality packaging, where bags must be sealed easily but without ever risking a wrong seal.

For perfect seals: models PN PRG and IND 100 PRGThese sealers share three important features that are necessary in food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries and allow them to be used in protected environments or sterile areas:1. they guarantee a perfect seal that can be constantly repeated. This guarantee comes from the possibility of regulating very precisely all the sealing parameters, and from the width of the sealing strip;2. they are user- friendly and can be used very easily by operators whose attention must be dedicated to other phases of the process;3. their structures are made only of stainless steel, chromate steel, aluminium or plastic, that assure the highest level of hygiene.The impulse seal is performed by resistances 3, 4, 6 or 12 mm wide. A sophisticated control by micro- processor allows a precise setting of all the sealing parameters: sealing

time, sealing temperature, cooling time or temperature. Recipes for various materials can be stored; sealing data can be logged; errors or problems are auto diagnosed. This guarantees that all seals are perfectly repeated. The two models have a very different structure suited for different problems.Model PN PRG is available cm 60 or cm 80 width. It works on compressed air with an automatic cycle activated by a safety pedal. Cibra can supply only the sealing head for desk-top use or placement on existing supports, or a vertical structure with supporting table as

shown in the photo.The IND PRG sealer is specially designed for sealing heavy and/or bulky bags and for bags contained in bins or boxes .The trolley feeder allows the sealing unit to be conveyed directly over the bag to be sealed. The vertical support allows the sealing pincers to be raised, lowered and turned into the most convenient position. Pincers can also be removed from the support and rested on the trolley to reduce the dimensions of the unit when not in use. For special needs the pincers can be fixed anywhere and used at any distance from the trolley.

For all uses:Sealer model AKA seals the smaller bags, up to 30 cm wide, made of multi-layer films, co-extruded films, BOPP, heat-sealable cellophane, paper+plastic. These bags are used for food, coffee seeds, chemicals, powders, and any product requiring a strong and long lasting protection. The 12 mm wide embossed seal is usually made immediately in the

time of lowering and raising the pedal.

Sealing temperature is controlled by a thermo regulator.AKA can also be fitted with a timer and with a compressed air movement that makes the sealing cycle fully automatic and totally repeatable. AKA is quite suitable for small, high quality productions, but also in big industries as a support to auto-matic machines for re-sealing bags that are not perfect, or for sample productions.

T he versatile PTR-1030 Se-ries Open-Mouth Bagger from Premier Tech Chronos

(PTC) is being released for Euro-pean sales at the forthcoming In-terpack trade show. The innovative open-mouth bagging system can pack dry free-flowing materials at rates of up to 1,100 bags/hour and is suitable for use with a range of bag types and sizes. An upgrade op-tion is also available that allows the PTR-1030 to successfully handle porous woven polypropylene bags.

PTC has used its well-proven experi-ence as a certified FANUC Robotics integrator to carefully incorporate two robotic arms into the PTR-1030. One robotic arm handles empty

bags to accurately position them on the filling spout; while the second robotic arm removes the filled bag for transfer to the closing system.

By separating out these basic oper-ating functions to different robotic arms has enabled PTC to enhance the speed of the PTR-1030, which has also benefited from the proven reliability of the FANUC Robotics, which is an international leader in the manufacturing of intelligent ro-botic solutions.

PTR-1030 is one of the most ver-satile robotic open-mouth bagging systems available to industry. This versatility is achieved by its ability to handle a wide range of bag types

and sizes. This includes: gusseted or pillow type open-mouth bags; made from either paper, polyethyl-ene; laminated woven polypropyl-ene; and porous woven polypropyl-ene bags. Bag widths in the range 279 to 610mm; and bag lengths of 457 to 1016mm can be success-fully handled.

The way the robotic arms has been programmed allows the PTR-1030 to provide optimum bag changeo-ver times, when changing to a dif-ferent packing schedule, a different product or a different type and, or size. The empty bag handling robot can also be upgraded with a vision system, which realigns the top of the bag during the empty bag plac-

ing motion, thereby optimising the bag shape for subsequent bag clos-ing process.

All machine contact parts are made of 304 stainless steel; and the filled bag transfer robot has been designed for compatibility with all types of bag mouth closing sys-tems. To help ensure a clean filling process the PTR-1030 incorporates

a bag-on-spout detection system to avoid any product spillage.The compact design and footprint of the PTR-1030 allows its easy in-corporation into sites with limited space and restricted heights. The use of smart wiring technology ena-bles simple and speedy on-site in-stallation / commissioning.

Die innovative Absack-anlage für Offensäcke ist zur Abfül-lung von frei fließendem Schüttgut in einer Vielzahl verschiedener Sackarten und Sackmaterialien ausgelegt und erreicht eine Leis-tung von bis zu 1.100 Säcken pro Stunde. Für die Verarbeitung von Luftdurchlässige Polyethylen Gewebesäcke mit der PTR-1030 besteht darüber hinaus die Mögli-chkeit einer Nachrüstung.

Auf Grundlage der umfassenden Erfahrung von PTC als zertifizierter Systemintegrator für FANUC Ro-botics wurden zwei Roboterarme in die PTC-1030 integriert. Ein Ro-boterarm dient der korrekten Po-sitionierung der leeren Säcke auf dem Einfüllstutzen, während der zweite Arm die abgefüllten Säcke zur Weiterverarbeitung durch die Verschließanlage vom Stutzen ab-nimmt.

Durch die Trennung dieser beiden grundlegenden Verarbeitungsfunk-tionen erreicht die PTR-1030 eine

höhere Verarbeitungsgeschwindig-keit. Die bewährte Zuverlässigkeit der Automatisierungslösungen von FANUC Robotics, einem inter-national führenden Anbieter intel-ligenter Roboter, hat außerdem weitere entscheidende Produktvor-teile zur Folge:

PTR-1030 ist eine der vielseitig-sten Robotabsackanlagen für Of-fensäcke auf dem Markt, da mit ihr eine große Bandbreite unter-schiedlicher Sackarten und Sack-materialien verarbeitet werden kann. Dazu gehören: Flachsäcke, Seitenfaltensäcke aus Papier und Polyethylen. Die Anlage ist für die Verarbeitung von Sackbreiten zwischen 279 und 610 mm und Säcklängen von 457 bis 1016 mm konzipiert.

Die Roboterarme wurden für opti-male Umstellungszeiten des Sack-formats, des Verpackungsplans, der Produktart, des Produkttyps oder der Größe programmiert. Der Roboterarm für die Bearbei-tung der Leersäcke kann auch mit einem Visionssystem nachgerüstet werden, welches die Sackoberseite bei der Platzierung der Leersäcke neu ausrichtet und so die Form des Sackes für den anschließenden

Verschlussvorgang optimiert.

Sämtliche Berührungsteile beste-hen aus rostfreiem Stahl 304. Der Transferoboter für die befül-lten Säcke ist mit allen Sackver-schließsystemen kompatibel. Für einen sauberen Abfüllprozess ver-fügt die PTR-1030 über einen Sack-detektor an den Einfüllstutzen, der Produktverschüttungen verhindert.

Aufgrund der kompakten Bauweise und der kleinen Maße eignet sich die PTR-1030 für Standorte mit begrenztem Platz und beschränk-ter Raumhöhe. Die intelligente Verkabelung ermöglicht einfache und schnelle Montage vor Ort/In-betriebnahme.

Eine PTR-1030 wird am Messe-stand von PTC (D23, Halle 12) auf der bevorstehenden Fachmesse Interpack, die vom 8.-14. Mai stat-tfindet, ausgestellt.

Moreno Barel, C.E.O. of P.E.T. En-gineering, states that these export results derive from “a service capa-ble of combining design andmanufacturing, innovation and Ma-de-in-Italy, always greatly appre-ciated acrossthe border. As well as being a year of achievements in terms of orders and turnover, 2013 was the year of awards which recognized the efforts of an SME that believes in Human Capital and commitment”.

In fact, the increase in turnover and excellent profits enabled the Com-pany to invest in new resources and favoured a 30% increase of the staff. The purpose of this was to empower multidisciplinary teams consisting of designers, engineers and researchers, to work together on every project.The results of this organization did

not take long to come: during the year, P.E.T. Engineering received four awards for its eco-design. The most prestigious one was the Oscar dell’imballaggio 2013 for the5LW, the lightest-ever five-litre con-tainer.

ORVED machines are renowned for their reliability and strength; they have become recog-nized and established in the world-wide market thanks to ORVED cli-ents and cooperators.ORVED gives special attention to technical customer assistance, wherever it may be.Each ORVED machine is built in compliance with the strictest inter-national regulations, is CE certified and the company is ISO 9001:2000 certified both for the production of packing machines and vacuum bags.

VGP 60nThe brand new trays thermo-sealing machine - vacuum/gas VGP, capa-ble of vacuum packing in trays, is a revolutionary machine.

The machine is completely stainless steel built and offers vanguard excellent quality building and working features. In fact, it is able to reach the 99% vacuum level and inject up to 100% gas, without the aid of a compres-sor (as all other similar ma-chines on the market at present need). This feature of working with-out compressor makes the machine particularly suitable for all those ac-tivities which haven’t enough space available for equipment and aren’t normally fitted with compressed air.The thermo-sealing tray machine model VGP 60n is perfect for stores and mega-stores and for all those small shops selling meat, fresh pasta, etc., where a thermo-sealing machine is needed to pack trays under modified atmosphere in a quick, easy and silent way. Right because of the absence of the an-noying noise made by the compres-sor, the machine is extremely silent when working.It is therefore a very modern, in-novative and cheap machine, equipped with a digital command board touch screen with 10 inde-pendent programs which memorize different vacuum and gas injection times in order to grant a complete and diversified packaging manage-

ment. Each working phase is then controlled by a microchip that al-lows the ultra-vacuum and ultra-gas functions.The machine ensures same build-ing and component features imple-mented on all other ORVED equip-ment: extreme solidity, innovative technology and long lasting.As far as law is concerned, the ma-chine complies with the strictest domestic and international rules for hygiene and safety.

T wo companies, Storci and BS, a long working history behind them and a great

deal of experience and reciprocal knowledge, these are the reasons which have led to a strong collabo-ration in the ready meals sector. One of the special features of BS, so-mething which is essential for Stor-ci, is its flexibility in designing and building machinery and systems. BS is made up of people who love their work, of experience handed down from father to son and a passion for this line of business. So why a com-pany like Storci? Lucio Bonini from BS replies: “Everyone knows the quality of Storci technology, for us it is a guarantee and we hope the fee-ling is mutual. And then, behind us we have many years of collaboration with Anzio Storci, there is a long histo-ry of co-operation between us based on mutual respect. The level of un-derstanding with Storci is perfect be-cause we share an important value: quality and a high level of product customization. We began by making a number of parts for Storci spreader units, the results were always excel-lent and the level of trust continued to grow. We are the best when it co-mes to creating dosing units with just a few but crucial features: spa-ce-saving, simplicity of use and many top performance features. We offer good and long-lasting technology and Storci knows this, and the new Storci-BS Network brand proves it”. What are we actually talking about? For lasagna and cannelloni produc-

tion, Storci-BS offers the opportunity to choose between semiautoma-tic or automatic lines with different production capacities (all of which offer user-friendly control, top level automatisms, easy cleaning and servicing, vacuum technology): from 600 trays/hour, up to approximately 4,500 kg/h. On the other hand, for those intere-sted in ready meals made from filled, short- and long-cut pasta, the multi-product line is the answer, offering

a large selection of pasta shapes, space-saving cooking and produc-tion capacity, maximum simplicity in terms of use and cleaning. The multiproduct line has a production capacity of between 600 to 5,000 trays/hour and, when necessary, products such as dry pasta, meat, rice, fish and vegetables can also be cooked. The synergy between the two companies is strong and without doubt we will soon be getting positi-ve feedback from the market.

erators in this sector by laying the foundations for new opportunities in squeezing processes.It is an essential product line de-signed to meet the flexibility needs required by craft workshops to pro-mote research and development. With a productive capacity up to 60kg/hour, it is a pure concentrate of technology, reliability and hy-giene.This creation will allow GSR to re-confirm, once again, its role as the pioneer of the sectorial market.

Along the last 20 years, GSR has been establishing itself for express-ing the best of “made in Italy” in the world, as a synonym of quality.GSR was founded in Lombardy, in

the heart area of the province of Lecco, it has made the characteris-tics of “made in Lecco” excellence its own, a key area in the manufac-ture of heavy precision machiner-ies.Indeed, at the beginning of the 20th century, GSR has already laid the foundations for intensive in-dustrial development that charac-terized this area’s future and that subsequently made it a major play-er in this field in the early postwar period.This progress occurred through sev-eral spontaneous initiatives which subsequently multiplied thanks to a great enterprising spirit, technical expertise, a consolidated tradition and an entrepreneurial class capa-

ble of focusing its attention on inno-vation and of imposing specific ex-cellence not only of “Made in Italy”, but even more of “Made in Lecco”, creating a connection between the local area and the production qual-ity outside its national borders.The region of Lombardy produces some of the best alloy steels on the market, renowned for their extreme-ly high quality.

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

Research is GSR’s essence. We al-ways strive to provide higher quality products than the standard ones; it is one of the company’s major pur-poses.To be the future and to go beyond it. This philosophy has led the com-pany to invest heavily in research in terms of capital and resources, fully aware of the fundamental role that research plays in the development

of its activity.Innovative engineering solutions, sophisticated software as well as testing and simulations to give the best and dictate the rules of the market with the highest capacity presses and up-to-date laboratory facilities.Along the last 5 years, GSR has con-siderably developed the production capacity of its 900 and 980 product lines: in 2012/13, the 900 series

launched the 8 pot line and the 980 series the 18 one.It then exceeded expectations in the compact machines sector with the 870 (4 and 6 pots) product line, designed for medium-sized com-panies and with laboratory lines, thanks to the 1400 and 1250 se-ries, with 1 and 2 pots. GSR’s products range also includes new accessories, such as melting/conditioning systems and labora-tory cake breakers.

Thanks to our expertise, we are able to give new life to any kind of press, without scrapping it before the expected time.Company technicians’ skills and ex-perience have developed technolo-gies for retro-fitting and upgrading any existing press, even those pro-duced by other manufacturers.

GSR’s research studies also focus on energy saving technologies, op-timizing production processes to re-duce energy consumption.Even though they were already sat-isfied with the 2010 results, the company’s team managed to re-duce the 20% of the energetic con-sumption thanks to the implemen-tation of specific research studies.GSR considers research a system

C hiaravalli Group S.p.A. is a leading company in the production of blades for

slicing machines, with state of the art technology and a warehouse with over 250,000 finished parts, in order to satisfy immediately the needs of the customers.Our company is the result of great passion and consistent investment of energies on entrepreneurial projects, for the creation of a wide range of extremely high quality products, able to meet the require-ments of a market that is more and more demanding, and in constant evolution. Chiaravalli Group S.p.A. brings to-gether the great level of know-how of the historic German trademark RASSPE, consistently the most im-portant manufacturer of blades for slicing machines for over a century, and the thirty year experience of their own personnel, together with the advanced technological fea-tures of the machines used to com-plete each production stage. With our historic trademarks: RASSPE BLADES and KLINGER, we have been able to secure a strong presence in all the world markets.

THIRD GENERATION the new fron-tier of blades for slicing machines. Chiaravalli Group S.p.A. has intro-duced and patented a great inno-vation in the production of blades for slicing machines: the so-called THIRD GENERATION, conceived with the idea of a cut that is increasingly perfect, reducing waste to the mini-mum.A profile structured on two different levels, and the narrow band, reduce the blade’s surface in contact with the product, avoiding pointless fric-tions, and ensuring that the part of

the blade not directly involved in the cutting process is always cleaner. This type of finishing can be ap-plied to our whole range of items, and represents a winning solution for cutting cheese, cured meats and vegetables.In summary:❱ avoids the waste that is normal with traditional blades;❱ enables to obtain extremely thin and perfect slices;❱ the flavor of the product is un-

changed because the blade does not become hot. In addition, together with the tra-ditional “MIRROR FINISH” that is characteristic of the highest qual-ity standards, this development en-sures:❱ a further improvement in terms of cleanliness;❱ high wear and abrasion resist-ance;❱ high corrosion protection;❱ low friction coefficient.

ing Interpack exhibition, is constantly working on important technology im-provements on the whole range of its solutions. During current Interpack exhibition, will be present at our stand several new developments just proven in production runs as well as systems for new machines from 2014. CT Pack team is glad to invite you to find us at our booth to discover the following in-novative solution:

COMPLETE PACKAGING LINEFOR SNACKSRow distribution system, dual lane flow-pack machine MMH2, dual robot box loading unit fully designed and integrat-ed into a complete CT Pack packaging line for 800 snacks per minute will be shown at the stand.The high-tech automatic wrapper ma-chine has been designed to complete CT-Pack’s machine range. This unit is indeed intended to overcome the needs of a machine that is able to merge to-gether the production speed of two sin-gle lane wrapping machines, as well as providing an everlasting buffer intended as a stand by line integrated in the main one.This unit shares with CT Pack single

lane models the same stainless steel material And construction technology following the principle to be totally hy-gienic and washable.MMH 2 is extremely user friendly for op-erator and maintenance teams as well as ergonomic in all its parts. The unit is the perfect solution for those factories with very high production ca-pacity needs and lack of available floor space. MMH2 is integrated with the most appropriate feeding row distribu-tion system, with buffer and re-feed features, as well as with the special APLC metering belts phasing systems for proper and constant loading of the flowpack lug chain lanes. Downstream of the primary packaging section, a dual robot box loading machine receives the single packs and load a wide variety of containers, including special crates for

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

SOFT/WET PRODUCTS FLOWPACK MACHINEThis machine has been developed to face the necessity to handle soft and/or wet products like naked soft cheese (the exhibited case) in the strongest hygiene environment contest.The unit is equipped with an integrat-ed metering belt phasing system run-ning over the reels area which takes place top-down under the products arrival.The inverted longitudinal sealing sys-tem allows to have the foil coming from the bottom, giving support to the soft product during the movement across the sealing area.At last the most important part of this machine is the special box motion transversal sealing head which guar-antees the gas/tight sealing at the highest speed on the market.

SMART CARRIER INFEED SYSTEM FOR FLOWPACK MACHINESThis is the most advanced implemen-tation CT Pack is going to integrate in the flowpack machines. When con-

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

CT PACK FEATURES ON 2014 MACHINES RAPID SYSTEM: Shared data struc-ture system for every machine. Of course the main advantage is the user friendly operations given by a system which in many ways resemble Plug & Play system for PC. Besides this important feature Rapid allows, thanks to the Power Monitor device, to collect a virtually endless database showing data like real time function-ing, consumptions, real time and his-toric efficiency etc.REGISTERED ID ACCESS: The new feature add many functions to the control panel. The access to the ma-chine is recorded with an ID bound to the operator badge which can enter with different roles but with a single ID per person. Each access is log re-corded with historic chronology of in-tervention on the machine. In the fu-ture the log can be done by portable tablets and mobile phones.FORMAT RECIPE ON FILES: The for-mat changes will be loaded by simple files, thanks to the integration in the electrical cabinet of an industrial PC,

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

CT PACK ACTIVITY SECTORSCT Pack focus its attention on those areas which includes foods, bever-ages and para-pharmaceutical prod-ucts. For every one of the mentioned sec-tors CT Pack is able to provide full turn-key packaging lines starting from the naked product to the case-packer system.

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

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

CT PACK IN THE TERRITORYAND GROWTH STRATEGY Strong connection with the Univer-sity scientific world in the territory, acquisition of high level technical in-formation, in-house testing structure for proof of principle or component reliability test, assure our R&D and Technical Departments to develop and to manufacture automatic pack-aging machines and fully integrated complete packaging lines which are ... THE BEST SOLUTION FOR EACH CUS-TOMER’S NEEDS.Despite the delicate economy pe-riod and the high competitive and fast developing market, CT Pack was constantly increasing the turn-over, the presence inside the most impor-tant International Food Companies (among others: Kraft-Mondelez-Cadbury, Unilever, Nestlè, Kellogg, Bimbo), the number and quality of the personnel as well as its size with a second brand new production factory in Ferrara-Italy.“Ready to provide the most advanced competences with the proper struc-ture behind”.With the establishment of CT USA Cor-poration, based in Chicago-IL. and CT CHINA Corporation based inShanghai-China, in addition to the branches in Europe, the presence of CT Pack worldwide is under comple-tion.CT USA and CT CHINA Corporations will be for the time being responsible for the Sale and Service Support of all CT PACK products for new and exist-ing customers in the North American and Chinese territories, with the aim of manufacture locally most of the machine components for the relevant Regions.

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

We manufacture the best forming machines for each group. Intelledrop, Intellemix and Intellestamp are per-fect as stand-alone machines, and can be used for for-ming center-filled or two-colored products on a conti-nuous belt in a tunnel oven or cooling system.1. IntelleDrop - for depositing liquid masses like liquid marmalade or jelly, or liquid chocolate or cream, on tartlets or flat cookies, or depositing short dough.2. IntelleMix - for the formation of different kinds of soft cookies and marshmallows with a depositing method, or string cutting.1. IntelleStamp - for the production of ginger bread co-okies, candy, cottage cheese bars, or meat/fish balls or cutlets.If you have both an oven and a cooler of the same width at your plant, forming heads can be interchanged with twin baking and cooling lines. However, the main advan-tage is the possibility of synchronizing the operation of two or three forming heads installed in the desired se-quence, and thus creating innovative cookies or snacks/desserts with three to seven components. Initially we se-parate food masses by viscosity, but unite them finally in a magic creative combination!The Neofood system is modular and upgradeable - you

can add forming heads as demand increases and your product lines grow. You do not need to purchase com-plete lines – just by adding machines you can drama-tically change your assortment and production volume. The more heads you have, the more ideas you will have about the production of multi-component sweets from our database!

It will also dress the products by glazing them with contrasting colors. You can introduce innovation to the range, make your ideas a reality – you are only limited by your imagination. You can make pastry-base tartlets on the Rondo Doge line, and fill them with several sweet or salted products on our semi-automatic machines, or an automatic Neofood line.Round or oval pastries provide the perfect crispy base for various jelly, marshmallow and nougat/fondant products.The standard Intelledrop line has a tartlet feeding device on which all three heads can be used. Tartlets can be made from pastry dough, by pressing from nougat, coconut mass... They can be filled with marshmallow, cheese, jelly, cream, ice-cream, pate or salad.

The Addition MethodThe depositing mechanismResult: To increase the product as-sortment, it is necessary to increase the quantity of semi-automatic con-fectionery machines. This is the AD-DITION method.

The Multiplication MethodResult: To increase the product as-sortment, it is NOT necessary to in-crease the quantity of semi-automa-tic confectionery machines. This is the MULTIPLICATION method.All machinery can be delivered both in assembled and semi-assembled condition.Self assemble sets are available.Machines can be assem-bled at the customers site by our technicians or by customer’s staff.This will optimize the equipment pri-ce as well as delivery and customs

costs.Detailed assemble written and video instructions are enclosed.You are probably a producer of des-serts, confectionary and bakery pro-ducts. You use automatic or semi-au-tomatic machinery, and are familiar with all the well-known machinery manufacturers on the market. Your products are respected and best-sellers, but perhaps you are not sati-sfied, and are looking for something new and innovative. Maybe you want a new forming, ex-truding, depositing or enrobing ma-chine?Maybe you dream of a simple inter-changeability of your forming machi-nes when connecting them to your tunnel oven or cooling tunnel, or even combining them to create multi-component products?

However, all the well-known machi-nery manufacturers are in competi-tion, and build incompatible machi-nes with varying distances between nozzles and the PLC control. Our innovative equipment is aimed at those customers who would like to produce innovative snack foods, in all kinds of industrial food manu-facturing plants, in either automatic or semi-automatic mode.Our lines and stand-alone machines are perfect for the production of cen-trally-filled or multi-component fo-odstuffs, such as two-color products.

K uraray Co. Ltd. has been manufacturing and mar-keting ethylene vinyl-

alcohol copolymers (EVOH) under the name EVAL™ since 1972, and remains the world leader in EVOH production and market develop-ment. William Reay, global market-ing manager for EVAL Europe, talks to Food Processing about all EVOH has to offer.

Can you tell us a bit about the company?William Reay: Kuraray was founded in Japan in 1926, and quickly ex-panded from plastic rayon textile fibres into speciality chemicals and polymers. We are the world’s larg-est producer of VAM [vinyl acetate monomer] derivatives, including PVOH (polyvinyl alcohol) and EVOH (ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers).

How can EVAL EVOH help brand-owners and producers reduce their carbon footprint?By reducing packaging, and avoid-

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

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

Are the materials recyclable or recoverable?Both. Multilayer structures including EVAL™ are routinely ground up and reused as a structural layer in mul-tilayer barrier plastic bottles, sheet and trays. EVAL will not disrupt polyolefin recycling streams, either online or post-consumer. Because EVAL is a plastic, it provides good energy recovery, and emits only wa-ter vapour and CO2 – no toxic resi-due, no metal, no chlorine. Because there isn’t much EVAL in the struc-ture to begin with, even these emis-sions are quite small, especially when compared with the important benefits of avoiding waste. In the fu-

MORE FUNCTION, LESS WASTE

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

Stand-up pouches are incre-asingly being used for ready meals. Are your solutions mi-crowave-safe?Absolutely. Stand-up pouches are a good example of optimised packag-ing, using relatively small amounts of material to protect food until it can be consumed. The microns of EVAL provide bar-rier properties and shelf-life exten-sion to the entire structure. EVAL is a transparent plastic – no problem for microwave ovens. It can also be used for energy-efficient aseptic fill-ing processes, and is compatible

with metal detectors during pro-cessing.

How can EVAL reduce waste and protect food?Prolonging shelf life is an important way to avoid waste. It adds valuable time to the processing and distribu-tion process, while keeping the con-tents fresh with their vitamins and aroma intact. Our partners usually come to us for optimised oxygen gas barrier, but EVAL also keeps aromas inside the package and effectively blocks out-side odours, grease and contamina-tion. A fast growing example of the benefit of this is the EVAL solution against MOSH/MOAH (mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons/mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons) migration. Mineral oils that are present in recy-cled cartonboard can easily migrate and accumulate in certain foods, which can cause health problems when ingested. The quick answer from the market has been to move to virgin paper-board, but this may not be sustain-able, and doesn’t protect against migration from the outer carton

boxes used for transport and storage. EVAL pro-

vides a proven barrier against

MOSH/MOAH in thickness as thin

as 4μm – once again, ef-fective protection with only very

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

What properties do EVAL pro-ducts have that can help in-fluence consumer decisions?As a transparent plastic material, EVAL is versatile, and can be used in optimised coextruded structures for film, bag-in-box, pouches, trays, cups, tubes, bottles – even flexit-ainers and automotive fuel tanks. It can be coated or laminated onto cartonboard and paper, and even used in barrier in-mould labels and co-injected cups and closures. Very thin flexible layers can be laminated to renewable materials like paper or cartonboard, giving them much-needed barrier function. Thanks to its transparency, the product can be made attractively visible to the consumer. But maybe the best way to influence custom-er decisions is to pass on savings due to optimised packaging and transport, and produce less waste throughout the processing and dis-tribution stream.

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

General Plastics, leaders in closures and seals since 1952, proudly pro-duce in Italy a wide range of closures and ties, in particular TIEFIX-clip and TIEFIX-twist wire-cored bag-reclos-ing-closures, for the most important bread, pasta, biscuits and sweets producers as well as for bag-closing machine manufacturers. They also produce special closures for pharma-ceuticals, high-security seals and nets for various applications.Their constant search for quality is confirmed by the use of non-toxic ma-terials in their production processes, as already required in many countries.General Plastics supplies MASTERFIX and MINICLIP bag-closing machines as well. They are versatile, attractively priced, and ideal as a first step for those who want to switch from man-ual to automatic packaging, without using additional costly equipment. Such machines are independent from any packaging lines and are electri-cally powered, with no need for com-pressed air.

New TIEFIX ProductsGENERAL PLASTICS produce the popular range of tying and closing sys-tems for bag-closing machines, which has been largely renovated, in light of the recent ecologic awareness. And, indeed, TIEFIX twist ties are avail-able with either polypropylene, the most inert among all plastic materials, or kraft/recycled paper (thus entirely biodegradable).

Today’s novelty is representedby TIEFIX-BIOThe well-known wire-cored TIEFIX rib-bon, nowadays, is produced also with a new photodegradable material, which degrades once it is exposed

to sunlight and atmospheric exter-nal agents, and allows the twistband to oxidize and disappear. TIEFIX-BIO joins the 100% biodegradable TIEFIX-2k in paper, whenever it is needed to combine the density of plastic cover-ing with degradability. Even the dou-ble-side-wired TIEFIX-clip is available in BIO version, which is produced with such new photodegradable material.With regards to the problem of recy-cling the empty support spools, such problem has been successfully over-come by General Plastics with the in-troduction of spool-less-rolls, to be ap-plied by means of a special re-usable adapter. Such adapter becomes an integral part of the machine and can be opened and closed with a simple movement. In addition to the obvi-ous environmental benefits, you also get lower cost of closing material, a drastic reduction of downtime for spool change, and greater autonomy, thanks to bigger format rolls.

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

remarkable novelty which completes their wide range: the long awaited Tiefix-2Ki paper twist-tie. Tiefix-2Ki looks similar to the well known plastic twist-tie ribbon, but is covered with reinforced paper instead, so becoming a 100% biodegradable hermetic reusable closure for food bags. Tiefix-2Ki’s components, paper and iron wire, degrade completely at the end of their life and go back into the natural life-round. A new high-strength special paper makes it suitable for every automatic or semiautomatic tyer. The new ribbon is wound in spoolless rolls, so that you only buy precious tying material and don’t waste money in expensive and unnecessary spools and the relative cost for disposing of. Its precision-winding allows to a continuous supply of ribbon with no jams.Tiefix-2Ki is an answer to the increas-ing demand for natural looks and environment-friendly packaging com-ing from European bakeries and food companies, who can now line up with the long-established North-American habit of tying bags with paper twist-ties.Last but not least, Tiefix-2Ki is much cheaper than plastic-covered ties!

G raham Packaging Corpo-ration is well know as one of the biggest converter in

dairy and food products, with more than one hundred plants worldwi-de, 20 billions bottles produced every year and a turnover of 3 bil-lion Euro. The acquisition of Techne EBM machines manufacturer in 2011 has joined the experience, technical know-how and excellence of two of the major companies on the market with fruitful results.TECHNE is a consolidated partner of all main dairy companies all over the world. One of the application that made these collaborations a success is the aseptic blowing technology, which is part of its hi-story as the first unit was launched in Italy in 1992. Since then, a lot of complete lines have been supplied and the process is more than relia-ble and consolidated. It consists of a sophisticated implant which fil-ters the blowing air and sterilize the complete pipe circuit, using only steam agent.The main advantage of this techno-logy is the complete absence of any chemical agent used during the pro-cess and therefore any eventual re-sidual of liquid into the bottle (azote peroxide) and as a consequence, it eliminates the risk of having some taste alteration of the final product after the filling process.The bottle coming out from the ma-chine is perfectly sealed and it is opened only at the internal of the aseptic filling machine, after it has been sterilized on the outside part and just before the filling process.

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

ADV4-700-AAseptic - Full electric machine

TECHNE ADV-700 combines high production to high technology. Its presence on the market since 2007 makes it one of the most reliable and advanced model available. With its double and four shuttle configurations, it is the perfect match for the end users and converters who look for a machine with medium to high pro-duction capacities. Its 700 mm stroke allows to produce containers from 60 ml (neck to neck) to 10L up to 6 layers.Full electric systems of-fer great advantages in terms of electric con-sumption and ordinary maintenance. It is proven that the average saving related to the machine consumption is around

35% compared to hydraulic units. The kWh per kg of plastic extruded drops from 0,45 to 0,31 in monola-yer configuration and from 0,48 to 0,33 with the multilayer.The absence of any hydraulic sy-stem warrantees a clean production environment, a reduction of the ove-rall noise and lower cooling needs of the machine as there is no hydraulic station (35%). It eliminates the pro-blem of draining the used oil every

6.000 hours, reducing the ecologic impact on the en-vironment. Finally, it increa-ses the safety for operators, with no risk of accident due to unexpected movements while doors are opened,

spite all safety systems present in the hydraulic machines.On top of ADV machine, the range include a full integrated combi unit (UNIKA), available in double or fourshuttle configuration for blowing, filling and capping and a new ge-neration full electric machine (ADVT) for small / medium pro-duction capacities.

-Ievo

B izerba has developed a new high performance price labelling machine

for the food industry: the GLM-Ievo weighs and labels at a speed up to 200 packages a minute. It has a camera checking system for pack-age quality control and it can con-figure itself automatically when the product is changed via a coded la-bel roll. Thanks to the modular de-sign principle, the system can be assembled individually for different requirements.In the food industry, production plants are frequently made up of systems from different manufactur-ers, including inspection systems, packaging machines and price la-bellers. The technology of each is

developing rapidly and brings about the need for continuous adaptation among manufacturers. The perfor-mance of the entire plant is thus only ever as strong as its weakest part. If a manufacturer invests in a new device, this should at least be able to keep up with the tech-nological development of adjacent plants.

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

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

Quality Check included: Came-ra system checks information texts, barcodes and product qualityFood manufacturers cannot afford to risk losses in product quality which unnerve customers and in the worst cases lead to expensive product recalls. The Bizerba-Vision-System (BVS) camera system has been therefore integrated into the

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

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

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

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

F ood processing industries across the globe are ra-pidly growing and changing

with fast food production, in parti-cular, experiencing many challen-ges. Amongst these challenges is a tightening of the already strict stan-dards for food production; with gre-ater emphasis on hygiene, coupled with the need to reduce the produc-tion costs and have shorter set up time for those companies involved in food processing seek new innova-tions and system improvements that may promote greater productivity and flexibility. Belt Technologies Europe, the mar-ket leader in steel belt technologies, has worked closely with Justech of Sweden and partners , to produce an innovative method of cooking and transporting meat products. “Inducook” is the brand of new coo-king equipment developed by Jutech AB, Sweden.The technology is prima-rily based on traditional industrial contact cooking methods but in this case, the product is transported between two ( an upper and lower)stainless steel conveyor belts coated with high quality non-stick coatings. The advantage of this system over si-milar contact cooking methods lies with the “Inducook’” solution appro-ach of applying heat to the belts. Cur-rently, cooked food production relies on traditional heating methods such as electric resistance heating, gas heating, oil recirculation heating and similar.All these traditional methods come with their own particular set of drawbacks; such as emission ge-neration, high power consumption, machines that are typically difficult to clean and maintain, and the use of non-renewable energy resources.

Justech AB engineers, working clo-sely with Belt Technologies Europe, have developed a system of induc-tion heating in combination with co-ated steel belts, resulting in a meat cooking system designed for today’s demanding food processing factory. “Inducook” is a greener solution that ensures high product quality with stringent hygiene levels. Up until now , Justech AB engineers have tested a wide range of food products that can be cooked with “Inducook”. They have already had success with the processing of the most common fast food meat pro-ducts such bacon, hamburger and kebab meat.The meat product is cooked rapidly and thoroughly, sa-ving on processing times and giving peace of mind that food is cooked

to the correct temperatures for the right length of time.New design inno-vations and other products are plan-ned for the near future.

Inducook operating princi-ples and design features and benefitsThe “Inducook” unit cooks the pro-duct between two induction heated non-stick coated stainless steel con-veyor belts; these are heated with induction coils. Induction coils are positioned underneath both – up-per and lower stainless steel con-veyor belts. The quality and grade of stainless steel is integral to the success of this system. The grade of

steel used in this case has excellent thermal properties , allowing rapid and almost instantaneous heat tran-sfer, facilitating quicker cook times and tight control of the cooking pro-cess.As the stainless steel belt comes into contact with the varying magne-tic field, generated by the induction coils ,the field induces an appearan-ce altering eddy current within the belt material. This eddy current flow, within the magnetic stainless steel belt material, works against the elec-trical resistivity of the metal, allowing precise and localized heat to occur .The meat product is transported through the gap between the two conveyor belts; the meat is thus both transported and cooked safely to perfection simultaneously. The “In-ducook “ system maintains the tem-perature in the steel belt at correct levels to ensure the meat is cooked to perfection. The “Inducook” cooking method gi-ves many important advantages over other heating solutions used nowa-days:

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

hygienic, quick and simple method of cleaning. Both the stainless steel belts are easily removable. Since in-duction heating is a non-contact he-ating, robust electrical components have been designed to resist water contact during the cleaning process. ❱ Cooked meat quality and systems productivity – by using induction heating, it is very easy to control correct temperature levels. Another important feature lies in the fact that it takes only a few seconds to switch between different products. This is a big advantage over similar contact cooking methods, offering the advantage of higher productivity. Set up time is therefore kept to a mi-nimum.❱ Non-stick - “Inducook’s” thin stainless steel belt has an FDA ap-proved non-stick special coating. This makes it possible to cook a whole range of different meat pro-ducts without them adhering to the belt. The non-stick coating is abra-sion resistant enabling simple but thorough post-cooking cleaning and maintenance to be carried out. The flat nature of the belt, unlike wire belts for example, will not impart any marks on the product being proces-sed. This gives a better presentation of the food cooked.❱ Green thinking and improved en-vironment – unlike other heating methods, the “Inducook” system is

both cost effective and environmen-tally friendly. Induction heating is considered a very green solution, as the power consumption is far more regulated and is therefore less wa-steful than other heating methods. The controllability and fast reaction times reduce the overall power con-sumption during the initial start-up production run. The system is quiet, eliminating noise pollution makes for a better working environment.❱ Energy consumption reduction – induction heating method converts up to 90% of electricity into useful heat. The stainless steel belt mate-rial in this application has a maxi-mum working temperature of 425C.❱ Extended belt life time – with si-milar cooking solutions frequent replacements of cooking belts are often required. The steel belt sy-stem is designed to maximise the belt life as in this system the steel belt life should be well in excess of 1,000,000 cycles thus making it possible to keep the service costs to a minimum.❱ Other benefits – no open flames, no odours from burning heating ma-terials, and relatively compact units. The steel belt thickness of 0.3 mm, allows the use of smaller pulley dia-meters, thus saving space in machi-ne design and reducing over all costs.

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

R ademaker are specialists in sheeting technology which provides important

benefits above the traditional bread system. Sheeting makes it possible to handle a great variety of dough types, from ‘green’ to pre-fermented dough, all at high capacities. By us-ing stress-free dough sheeters and laminating technology, users can achieve basically any dough and bread structure desired. The Rade-maker Crusto breadline concept al-lows users to combine traditional bread types with artisan bread types, all produced on one sheeting system.Baguettes, both basic French ba-guettes and artisan looking ba-guettes produced out of prefer-mented dough and containing a high water %, can be produced by in two ways on the Rademaker Crusto bread line:1. Cut baguettes: After sheeting, the dough is shaped in rows by ro-tating knives or guillotine. Here the baguettes are cut at the desired length. Besides cut baguettes, this method is also suitable for ciabatta, triangles, square buns, hexagonal, cut baguettes, cut petit pain, barra rustica, flatbreads, pita and even pizza.2. Rolled baguettes: After the sheeting stage sheeting, the dough shaped in rows by rotating knives and is cut at the desired length us-ing the guillotine. Next, Rademak-er’s moulding technology is applied to roll and shape the dough. Other products beside rolled baguettes can be produced in this way, f.e. rolled petit pain, barra rustica, free standing bread, tin bread, toast bread (open & closed top, 4 pieces), brioche and rolls.The Rademader Crusto bread line is

capable to handle capacities up to 6.000 kg/hr. The standard Rademaker Crusto bread line can cut 85 strokes/minute, ending up with 10.000 half baguettes or 5.100 long baguettes per hour. Special bread lines can produce up to 30.000 baguettes/hour, at 125 strokes/minute. Rademaker can guarantee an im-pressive weight accuracy on the baguette production; +/- 2,5 - 3% (+/-5 gram) on the total product weight. An even higher weight accuracy is achieved by Rade-maker’s patented weighing conveyor which can run up to +/- 1,5%. The structure of the baguette, which is of course very important for bakers, is achieved through the Rade-maker Moulding technology. The moulding table trans-fers dough slaps or pre-rolled slaps into consistent, smooth rolled dough products at the required diameter and length. The slaps are first coiled by a pre-moulding unit. This unit also ensure that the rolled slaps enter the moulding board in a straight alignment. The upper moulding belt guides the products to the guiding strips. This shaping method imitates the hands of the baker when he smoothes the seam and stretches the dough. The guiding strips contacts the product ends and cali-brates the final length of the product. The Rademaker Moulding Board is able to process products between 1 ounce (30gr) and 5 pounds (2.3kg).

Garlic baguettesRademaker is also capable to inject par-baked ba-guettes with garlic butter by using a special injecting system.

T omace is an ISO 9001 cer-tified company specialised in fluorinated coatings. The

experience acquired in over twenty years of activity allows us to meet any requirement concerning sur-face corrosion, adhesion, and fric-tion.We use fluoropolymer-based coat-ing technology to improve the per-formance of mechanical compo-nents and meet specific production needs in various industrial sectors.We provide a broad scope of appli-cation that ranges from packaging machine components, food, phar-maceutical, ceramics, and rubber plastic moulding industries, to wood processing machinery and the me-chanical engineering industry in general. The benefits you can enjoy include: easy cleaning of coated surfaces, increased productivity, less produc-tion waste, and a higher quality of the finished product.The in-depth knowledge of every sin-gle coating according to the operat-ing conditions of the component to be coated allows Tomace to identify the best solution to meet the cus-tomer’s need within its range or, if

necessary, develop new tailor-made formulations.The range of coatings is mainly based on fluoropolymers. These high-tech materials provide the highest performance.The main features of fluoropolymers can be summarised as follows: ❱ Low adhesion: the surface energy is very low, thereby ensuring excel-lent performance against wetting and adhesion of foreign substanc-es.❱ Environmental resistance: they are UV-transparent, extremely re-sistant to oxidation and they main-tain their properties even at very low temperatures. Moreover, fluoro-polymers resist against attacks by microorganisms and are not biode-gradable.❱ Light transmittance: they have high light transmittance values and a very low refractive index.❱ Contaminant-free: they are intrin-sically pure; therefore, they do not cause chemical pollution.❱ Corrosion resistance: they resist to aggressive chemicals within a wide temperature range. ❱ Heat resistance: some fluorinated polymers provide a continuous op-

erating temperature of 260° C with even higher peaks for a short lapse of time. ❱ Fire resistance: some have an LOI above 95. Even the optical density of the smoke produced in the event of combustion is low. ❱ Wear resistance: they are among the materials with the lowest fric-tion coefficient, which means also low abrasion. ❱ Electrical resistance: they have excellent properties, such as low power loss factor, high arc resist-ance, and high puncture resistance. These features persist within a wide range of environmental conditions. ❱ Long service life: they feature ex-cellent ageing resistance, even in the presence of high temperature or aggressive chemicals. They also feature high resistance to dynamic loads, such as vibrations and bend-ing.

There are several types of fluoropol-ymers, all FDA-certified:

PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene), and PFA (perfluoroalkoxy), which, combined with other resins, allow

the creation of an infinite variety of products with enhanced character-istics for every specific use.

PTFEThe patriarch of the family of fluo-ropolymers, whose chemical name is polytetrafluoroethylene, abbrevi-ated into PTFE. This fluoropolymer provides anti-friction coatings for non-stick surfaces with low friction coefficient. It can be used continu-ously at 300 °C and, intermittent-ly, at up to 315 °C. It has a broad scope of application in the food, textile, rubber and plastics, automo-tive, paper, and packaging indus-tries. In the chemical industry, the use of PTFE is quite limited due to its film permeability, low thickness (35/40 microns) and its sintered formation.

FEPA fluoropolymer derived from the patriarch, whose chemical name is fluorinated ethylene propylene, ab-breviated into FEP. Unlike PTFE, FEP is a thermoplastic material; there-fore, it melts when baked, thereby providing a coating with a non-po-rous surface. FEP has excellent non-stick prop-erties, low friction coefficient, and excellent chemical resistance. Coatings with a thickness of up to 60 microns can be obtained as it allows for multiple layers. FEP coat-ings can be used continuously at 200 °C and, intermittently, at 205 °C. FEP is mainly used for indus-trial applications that require high anti-adhesion levels and excellent resistance against chemical corro-sion. This is why it is mainly used in the chemical industry and to manu-facture moulded parts, as its non-stick properties allow the mould to be removed easily.

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

fluoroalkyl in the form of partially crystalline powder. As FEP, PFA is a thermoplastic material; therefore, it provides a coating with a non-po-rous surface, low friction coefficient and excellent chemical resistance. Moreover, it can be used continu-ously at 260 °C and intermittently at up to 310 °C. This material al-lows the creation of coatings with a thickness of over 150 microns in just a few layers. It resists against an even wider range of chemicals compared to FEP. Its mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties are similar to those of PTFE resin.

SOL GELThis is a new PTFE- and PFOA-free non-stick ceramic coating (all ce-ramic coatings are free of these components).Being a ceramic coating, it is made to withstand extreme temperatures (850 °F/455 °C). It does not contain polluting sol-vents and can be used at a lower temperature, which results in con-siderable energy and money sav-ings.We at Tomace are always commit-ted to improving our service and products and maintain a high level of customer satisfaction.Our technical personnel is at your

service to find the coating that best suits your needs and to solve any technical problem. We provide an attentive and highly customised service, as well as our consultancy and partnership in a market that re-quires ever-increasing professional-ism.We rely on an organisation and di-vision of labour that ensure flexibil-ity and dynamism, which translates into fast and efficient service.We can provide a wide range of for-mulations specific for every indus-trial environment and application. Customised and advanced formula-tions combined with great produc-tion flexibility for both large and small outputs.

I n dozens of industrial sectors, ranging from food to metallur-gical, automatic handling of

the goods within the plant requires to manufacture conveyor belts hav-ing the most disparate shapes and features; and, in the same way, the most diverse building and industrial applications need stretched steel and metal nets made in the dimen-sions and using the materials that are more suited for the specific use they are intended to.

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

Larioreti is a small Italian enter-prise, whose successful history, made above all of satisfied custom-ers, is now approaching twenty five years. In our industry, differently from who merely offers standard products and large supplies, we stand out as the ideal counterparty for anybody has specific require-ments, needs small production runs, advice on the possible solu-tions, and, above all, a fully custom-ised final product, both with regards to its dimensions and its materials. CONVEYOR BELTS it’s the key word in modern industrial world, through-out the diverse sectors it consists of: automation. Automation for be-ing more accurate, more perform-ing, and namely faster - also, and above all, in moving items along the production chains. Our metal

conveyor belts - which can be made not only of iron (pure or galvanized) and in stainless or carbon steel, but, upon request, of any suitable metal - are available both in round wire and flat wire of half round wire for especially even planes, allow air circulation, make cleaning and ster-ilization operations simple and are able to withstand extreme thermal and mechanical conditions, where no other product would be able to carry out its function. In the field of the supplies to the in-dustry, there are countless compa-nies that, like us, are able to offer products whose technical features are absolutely spotless, made of strong and high quality materials. But the real difference between the many possible suppliers lies in the service, and in non-standard works: we spend most of our care to these

matters. We don’t just offer a wide range of standard products and keep delivery times that are sig-nificantly shorter than the average times on the market, but we offer to our customers a number of special productions which are able to meet any need they may have - and this for any production volume, even the tiniest one. There is no doubt, if we review the production volumes of metal nets and conveyor belts, that the vast majority consists of one of the few standard metals: steel (stainless or carbon) and iron (pure or gal-vanized). But, Larioreti is able to process any metal requested by its customers, in order to meet any specific need, being mechanical, physical or aesthetic.

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

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

ined. For this reason, in such cases tefloning is carried out, tefloned metal conveyor belts are actually non-stick and therefore ideal for said industry.Metal belts are employed as well by the fishing industry: they have two features that are deemed es-sential for a transport in such field: on one side, obviously, their ease of cleaning - which is typical of any tool employed in the food sector - and on the other, their resistance to the devastating effects of sea salt. Stainless steel conveyor belts,

which allow also an effective filter-ing controlled by the dimension of their mesh, combine both features. Above all where it is carried out us-ing thermoretractable plastic films, the packaging requires alternate cold and warm cycles to be complet-ed successfully. With their structure that allows strong and even surfac-es, but at the same time with a wide mesh that allows air circulation in both stages, metal conveyor belts prove to be ideal for this kind of ap-plications as well.

F or more than 50 years Real Forni has been working in the development of ovens

and equipment for the baking sector supporting the professionals from all over the world in this important food sector. The new rotary oven Boss combines innovation and re-searches with the yearly experience and tradition of the company thus making Boss the reference model of its category. Maximum efficiency, reduced overall dimensions and low consumption are the key features that allow the user to save energy and space, re-duce the cost of maintenance and improve the result on the baked product.A good ventilated baking for a rotary oven consists in the correct distribu-tion of the heat and in the ability to bake the product with a gentle and abundant flow of air: this is the only way to equal the baking of a static

oven. Another ultimate point is the ability of the oven to produce a great quan-tity of steam in a very short time and to regenerate it for the following baking. Thanks to the steamer posi-tioned in the middle of the air flow, the oven Boss guarantees quick-ness and power to obtain crumbly products with a crisp crust.In the planning stage we have worked hard on the consumption and the results are real, indeed the oven Boss 60.80 heats up very quickly and it needs only 50.000 installed kcal/h! This is possible thanks to a system of baking en-dowed with two powerful fans and an heat exchanger with triple turn of fumes and to a system of insulation consisting in three layers of rock wool compressed panels. As for the consumption, this system is extremely virtuous and with the addition of reduced overall dimen-

sions it is possible to position the oven side by side on its three sides. These features give you the possibil-ity to save a huge quantity of space inside your place in comparison to any other oven in commerce.The range starts from the smallest 50.70 which is able to contain a trolley of 40x60, 40x80, 50x70 or 18”x26”of 16/18 trays, its reduced dimensions allow the transporta-tion of the oven completely assem-bled. For trays 60x80 we can offer the classic Boss 60.80 with 18/20 trays or the “reduced” Boss with 16/18 trays (Boss 60.80 R) which is perfect for places not so high. The range includes also the 60.100 model for trolleys 60x90, 60x100 and 80x80 and the largest Boss 80.100. All models are available with gas or gas-oil burner or electric power sup-ply. The ovens are provided with a lower platform for the rotative trolley

in order to have an easy entry of the trolley, a motorised flue valve and stainless steel side panels. You can choose, as an optional fea-ture, the fume exhaust from the rear wall of the oven or an advanced LCD display programmer.There is also the brand new innova-tive and spectacular “Panorama” version which has a glass on the back side that enable the direct view of the baking process inside the oven, which is realized with a double inside glass with a very high insula-tion and with an external curved and openable glass for maximum safety, cleaning and beauty. This oven is perfect to separate the laboratory from the sale zone and it can be a great attraction both in shopping centers and in small bak-eries because it guarantees a privi-leged view on the baking process, keeping a clear division between laboratory and commercial zone. A LCD display inserted on the top, exposed to the public, is also avail-able. This LCD display shows the state and the type of product which is baking (Baguette - ready in 11 minutes) with photos in high resolu-tion.

erzielt werden. Ebenso wichtig ist, dass der Ofen in kürzester Zeit große Mengen an Dampf erzeugen kann und gleichzeitig in der Lage ist, sich auf den nächsten Back-vorgang vorzubereiten. Mit seinem Schwadenapparat, der inmitten des Luftstroms angeordnet ist, ga-rantiert der Ofen Boss für kurze Backzeiten und hohe Leistung, die ihrerseits für innen weiches und außen knuspriges Gebäck sorgen. Besonders intensiv wurde bei der Entwicklung auch am Energiever-brauch gearbeitet, mit greifbaren Ergebnissen. Trotz raschem Tem-peraturanstieg bedarf der Ofen Boss 60.80 einer installierten Hei-zleistung von nur 50.000 kcal/h. Möglich macht dies ein Backsys-tem, das mit zwei leistungsstarken Ventilatoren und einem Dreifach-Wärmetauscher ausgestattet ist. Für eine effiziente Isolierung sor-gen komprimierte Steinwollplatten, die in drei Schichten rund um das Backsystem angeordnet sind. Das System erweist sich dabei nicht nur als besonders energie- sondern auch als überaus platzsparend, da nur eine Front des Ofens frei bleiben muss. Im Vergleich zu allen anderen zurzeit auf dem Markt erhältlichen Öfen lassen sich in Backstube oder Geschäftslokal so Unmengen von Platz einsparen. Erhältlich ist Boss als „kleiner“ 50.70, für Stikkenwä-gen von 40x60, 40x80, 50x70 oder 18”x26” mit 16/18 Blechen. Dank seiner geringen Größe kann dieser Ofen vollmontiert transportiert und geliefert werden. Für 60x80-Bleche gibt es dann den Boss 60.80 in klassischer Ausführung für 18/20 Bleche oder in Niedrigausführung für 16/18 Bleche (Boss 60.80 R), ideal für Räume von geringer Höhe. Das Sortiment umfasst auch den 60.100 für Stikkenwägen von 60x90, 60x100 und 80x80 sowie den „großen“ Boss 80.100. Alle Modelle können mit Gasbrenner, Ölbrenner oder als Elektroofen betrieben werden. Die Öfen sind

im unteren Bereich mit einer Ro-tationsplattform ausgestattet, die ein einfaches Einschieben des Stik-kenwagens ermöglicht. Außerdem verfügen sie über eine motorisi-erte Klappe zum Entschwaden der Backkammer und seitliche Abdeck-ungen aus Edelstahl. Auf Wunsch kann der Rauchabzug an der Hint-erseite angeordnet und der Ofen mit einer fortschrittlichen, pro-grammierbaren Steuerung auf LCD-Bildschirm ausgestattet werden.Aufsehen erregend und innovativ ist auch die neueste Version Pano-rama, die über eine Glasrückwand den direkten Blick auf die Back-kammer freigibt. Die interne Dop-pelverglasung garantiert dabei für höchste Isolierung, während die geschwungene Außenverglasung

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

I n this issue we present some of the innovations by Pigo, world-wide leader in designing

and manufacturing equipment and machines for fruit and vegetable pro-duction. There are three main news items: Pigo’s expansion in the Ameri-can market; the development of new machines; and the improvement of cutting-edge machines, the Pitting Machine PG 103, and Easy Freeze. We are also publishing the com-pany’s updated trade show calendar.

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

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

THE NEW MACHINES; INNOVA-TION IN CUSTOMER SERVICEPigo has developed new machines such as: EASY Dry SPYRO, the best solution for drying various products.

With similar construction, Easy Dry SPYRO offers the same advantages as Easy Freeze SPYRO in terms of hygie-ne, ease of use, and energy efficiency. WASHING MACHINE PG 018, is the new washer for fruits and vegeta-bles with an innovative system of nozzles, valves, and filters. MACHINE FOR CAULIFLOWERS PG 415, with new circular movement, sorts pieces of cauliflowers and automatically eliminated all waste through special blades designed by PIGO.

NEW TRADE SHOWS SCHEDULEDPigo was present in the major trade shows in the U.S., particularly the Chicago Process Expo from Novem-ber 3-6; in Michigan for the Great Lakes Fruit Expo, December 10-12; and in Portland for the 2014 Expo, January 12- 14.This is the opinion they have in Pigo after the last exhibitions: “After a great success and a very profita-ble experience at Fruit Logistica in Berlin, and after our first time at the CFIA Rennes, we continue with an

important presence as a member of the Sacramento CFPL Process Expo and as a member of the AFFI-AFFI San Diego. These memberships confirm our new success in the U.S. market, and then we continued with our presence at Aahar Internatio-nal Fair in Delhi (10-14 March) and SEAFOOD PROCESSING BRUSSELS (2014).The well-known Fruitlogistica was challenging but profitable for us, like

never before. The success and par-ticipation we had this year is much higher than the one we have ever had in all the years that we atten-ded. It’s a great satisfaction and we had many impressions.Then we exhibited in Rennes for the first time and it was a pleasure to be present for the first time in this area. It was a overwhelmingly positi-ve experience that we hope to repe-at in the next years.”

SOME THINK OPTIMAL LOAD STABILITYCOSTS MORE. WE THINK DIFFERENT.At BEUMER we have a reputation for making things a little di� erent. Take the BEUMER stretch hood® transport packaging system.
