S an Vendemiano, 30th September 2014. In the course of the last year,

as well as winning many awards in recognition of its low environmental impact packaging creations, P.E.T Engineering has also worked on projects which could help people to see PET as a valid alternative to glass, aluminium and HDPE both in terms of mechanical performance and appearance.

At Brau Beviale 2014 P.E.T. En-gineering will thus introduce four projects which have seen designers and engineers committed to devel-oping packaging with a premium appearance using PET, a material which is usually used for bulk products with a limited aesthetic appeal and chosen principally for its low weight, unbreakability and affordability advantages.

The packaging proposed was thus born from a desire to ennoble PET by studying accessory elements such as labels and over packaging in order to create not single shapes but product systems capable of reconfiguring popular perceptions

of PET bottles in the minds of bot-tlers and end consumers. Twins, Hero, Diva and Valley will show that it is possible to make a container of great shelf-appeal together with ex-cellent mechanical, unbreakability and, above all, affordability perfor-mance.

P.E.T. Engineering is also partner to Petnology, the yearly conference which is subdivided into three themed cycles which take place at the same time this year and offers top experts in the supply chain and bottlers the opportunity to discuss the future of packaging and the challenges which the PET industry faces.

Moreno Barel, P.E.T. Engineering’s C.E.O., will also take part in the conference with a presentation on PET’s future in alcoholic drink bottling in Russia in Stream B, the theme devoted to technical and in-novation presentations.

P.E.T. Engineering’s projects will find in PETArena a meeting point entirely devoted

to PET within Brau Beviale, another important shop window.

P.E.T. Engineering is also taking part, with its bottle developed for Devin, already a finalist in the Luxu-ry Packaging Award, in the World Beverage Innovation Awards @ Brau Beviale, organised by Foodbev Me-dia. In conjunction with Unesda (the Union of European Beverages Associations) and Wafg, (the Ger-man non- alcoholic drinks trade association), the prize will see P.E.T. Engineering’s Devin competing for Best Bottle in PET.

PET: AN EXCELLENT ALTERNATIVEP.E.T. Engineering presents projects proposing PET as an alter-native to glass, aluminium and HDPE at Brau Beviale 2014.

INDUSTRIAL LABELLING MACHINES L abelling technology was

present at the last edition of Interpack also.

P.E. Labellers and Packlab showed customers four different types of la-belling machines, to meet the vari-ous market demands.

From the most recent product from P.E. Labellers, the innovative MAYA model sleeve applicator, ideal for applying shrink sleeve labels on containers of any material, shape and size (the machine can be seen in operation at the stand), to roll-fed labelling machine ROLLMATIC; the versatility of the MODULAR labelling machine will also be on display.Packlab will present a linear self-adhesive labelling machine mod.

WING REPC FBW 60, with an edge: self-adhesive stations with adjust-able axles and height-depth, mo-torised and controlled electroni-cally from the LCD keypad on the adhesive unit, thanks to mo-tors installed directly on the two axles.

This configuration also allows for the adjustment of the auto-matic size change directly from the HMI panel (option-al). This innovative labelling machine can be tried through a practical demonstration of the labelling phases, available during the fair.

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

In Italy, despite the challenging economy, the sector is forecast to grow by al-most 10% between 2013 and 2017, from €13,402m to €14,691m. Mar-ket volume is expected to see similar growth, of 12%, during the same period (Canadean).As consumer demand across the world continues to shift towards the ready availability of fresh and chilled meat and poultry, a key challenge for the meat and poultry industry is the vast distance product sometimes has to travel between processor, retailer and consumer. Damage to goods, food spoilage and waste, and the related cost implications, is a major cause for concern for both manufacturers and supermarkets.There is pressure on the packaging industry to develop products which ensure foods reach the supermarket

shelf long before the expiration date and to keep food fresher for even long-er. Innovation in this area has come a long way in a relatively short period of time but the industry must continue to adapt and respond to the needs of customers and consumers and the changing trends of society.Added to this is pressure from govern-ments and Non-Governmental Organi-sations (NGOs) for industry as a whole to reduce its carbon footprint and mini-mise waste.Over the past ten years the amount of packaging waste going to final dis-posal has fallen by 57% and the real-ity is that packaging waste accounts for only about three per cent of total waste from households and commer-cial sources in Europe but a key issue presently, is the statutory producer re-sponsibility regime for packaging. This places a legal obligation on businesses which make or use packaging to en-sure that a proportion of the packaging they place on the market is recovered and recycled. Each EU country has tar-gets to meet between now and 2017 but there is no reason to doubt that these targets will be revisited again af-ter that period.

How do you apply innovation to consumer trends effectively? LINPAC Packaging is a leading multi material packaging provider in Europe and Asia and as such needs to stay ahead of the key retail and packaging trends if it is to remain competitive in the long term.

The retail consumer market is ex-tremely fast moving driven by a num-ber of economic and social trends that demand continuous reinvention of packaging styles and systems on an ongoing basis. From growth in con-sumer awareness of sustainability to economic budget constraints, continu-al innovation is demanded to drive out cost, increase shelf appeal of packs, increase the environmental virtues of a pack and improve the shelf life, con-venience and performance of a pack in the home.From a research and development perspective, LINPAC works across a number of fronts to ensure it remains in touch with the latest trends and con-sumer needs. For example we conduct consumer studies on a regular basis to further our understanding of what

drives consumer demand. We work with partners across our industry – packers, fillers, machine suppliers, label companies etc – to understand the latest trends in their technologies and ensure our packs meet their effi-ciency needs. Finally, we work with key industry trade associations and NGOs to further our understanding of issues such as food waste, recycling, and the latest legislative changes which, again, drive our research and development processes.LINPAC Packaging works on a three to five year R&D planning window using a typical stage gate structure to manage our project priorities and we utilise an international team to ensure we focus on European / Asian pack require-ments vs country specific needs to ensure longevity and suitability of our solutions.

According to a study by Vision-Gain, the global food packaging market has reached a “plateau in terms of technology and its ability to carry out its primary duty, which is that of protecting and extending the life of the food stuffs within packaging.” Do you agree or disagree, and why?The development of technologies for the packaging market is accelerating all the time, so I would disagree very much so with the idea that we have reached a plateau. At LINPAC Packag-ing we are working on new polymer technologies to develop extended bar-rier (shelf life) performance of packs in

flexible and rigid plastics and we are utilising new antimicrobial additives to improve hygiene and safety in protein packaging applications. In addition, we are looking at the modification of existing polymers to improve function-ality. For example, LINPAC is invest-ing in fundamental scientific research and development projects looking at increasing the temperature resistance of current polymers to extend their use into microwave and oven pack applica-tions.One could argue that the ‘low hang-ing fruit’ in terms of fundamental pack developments have been reached. However, materials science and new technologies being brought into the packaging world e.g. application of plasma treatments, new print software technologies etc will continue to ramp the pace of change well into the next few decades.

What are some of the new technologies and products LIN-PAC has developed this year for the Italian market? LINPAC Packaging is leading the way in packaging for the meat, fish and poultry sector with a succession of pioneering developments which drive up efficiency and sustainability in the supply chain by reducing packaging waste and food waste by extending the shelf life of food through innova-tive pack design.In addition, we are committed to us-ing the minimum amount of material needed for packaging to be fit for pur-pose and effectively protect, preserve and present food. The innovations team at LINPAC is constantly looking for ways to provide robust trays which have a reduced weight and yet offer the same pack integrity and shelf life as heavier trays.EPS is proving popular with all links in the Italian supply chain because of its eco-credentials and merits in keeping food fresh. Particularly in Modified At-mosphere Packaging (MAP) applica-tions, EPS gives excellent protection and preservation qualities to food. Its

insulating properties extend shelf life to reduce food waste and as a result the EPS tray has become a popular choice with manufacturers, retailers and consumers alike.Our LINstar trays are at the cutting edge of innovation in EPS. They incor-porate a built-in patented high capac-ity absorbent core to draw unsightly meat juices from view and prevent leaks from the pack, removing the need for separate soaker pads which are found in standard EPS packs and often disliked by consumers.We believe these trays can drive sales and save retailers thousands of Euros each year by reducing in-store food waste thanks to its innovative absorbent core. The patented absor-bent core locks away meat juices, greatly improving the on-shelf ap-pearance of the meat to tempt shop-pers to make a purchase.Whilst the premium quality of LINstar commands a higher cost than that of a standard EPS foam tray, we are confident that retailers will reap the benefits of having an efficient pack-aging 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 stores in the coun-try.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. Packaging manufacturers have been challenged with cutting waste across the whole supply chain

– not just packaging waste but food waste too – and the LINstar tray ex-cels in this area. With its lock-away core, the quality and freshness of meat was deemed higher by consum-ers when it was packed in a LINstar tray compared with other EPS trays. This means the amount of pack price mark downs and loss of sales due to quality issues is greatly reduced.EPS foam trays are often viewed as a low cost option for in-store packing of goods. However, the associated cost of cleaning down shelving sys-tems when packs leak as customers search for their preferred cut of meat is often not taken into account. Simi-larly, the extra costs related to the re-wrapping of leaking packs, for exam-ple additional films, labels, printing and man hours are overlooked. The revolutionary absorbent core within LINstar trays means retailers will no longer be faced with these issues.Another popular choice among our

Italian customers are the LINfresh® Atmo 5 and 6 ranges for pre-packed meat and fish which have been de-signed for top-seal MAP applications.The packs combine low carbon EPS with barrier technology which helps to extend the shelf life of food by up to 300% when compared with tradi-tional non-MAP packaging methods. Moreover, fungi and bacteria cannot easily grow on EPS because of the material’s construction. Minimal bac-teria growth means food will remain fresher for longer which benefits both retailers and consumers; for consum-ers it means they can store food at home for longer and for retailers, ex-tended shelf life brings improved sup-ply chain efficiency and better inven-tory and order management.When used in conjunction with our complementary lidding film LINtop® PE HB, LINfresh® Atmo customers have the ultimate tray/film combina-tion, giving excellent performance in

terms of shelf life, presentation and protection for their meat and fish products.Foamed materials meet all the re-quirements of modern packaging; the spongy material helps to cush-ion food, protecting it from damage during transit and minimising food waste across the supply chain as food makes its way between proces-sor and consumer.With regards to the environment, EPS is fully recyclable and does not pro-duce greenhouse gases on disposal, plus the energy consumption used in its manufacture can be recovered through incineration. As it is 98 per cent air, it is the ultimate low carbon packaging option. It is one of the lightest packaging solutions on the market significantly reducing trans-portation costs and thus further re-ducing the carbon footprints of man-ufacturers and retailers throughout the supply chain.

V olpak SI-280, incorporates many of the advanced technological solutions de-

veloped by AcmaVolpak engineers, offering high levels of effectiveness, optimum use of material and easy operation, aiming to reach the best “cost per pack” on the market. The SI Series offers as well the chance of producing larger pouch formats than before, even working in triplex, with all the advantages of the SI series, such as a great level of reliability and accessibility. Enflex’s F-11 Dx Tow-elettes model is an automatic hori-zontal packaging machine for shap-ing, filling and sealing sachets with towelettes. The machines counts on two commercial versions: one of a simple type for one sole sachet, and another duplex type for the simulta-neous production of two sachets. As usually one of the most important values of AcmaVolpak is the commit-ment to offer the best service to its clients, configuring its “tailor-made” machines according to different pro-duction longings. This is a winning approach indeed, and many appre-ciations for AcmaVolpak’s solutions are also expressed in the sector of Tea: while the T4 Modula, the most recent innovation of 2014, is already in operation at a customer’s facility, the company has received a large or-der of T2. In fact, following the exam-ple of other important “big names” in the industry, an important customer has decided to implement and mod-

ernize its production by integrating a series of T2, single chamber teabag machines. Each unit is equipped with a cartoning system and heat-sealed external bag, which makes it a com-plete line supporting the entire pack-aging process, both primary and sec-ondary. However, T2 is also renowned for being the first full leaf tea packag-ing machine; the recent installation in Saudi Arabia testifies to the repu-tation of AcmaVolpak and the strong demand of full leaf tea, highly ap-preciated by traditionalist tea lovers. T2 full leaf tea bag is different from “standard” pyramid bags as it can be stacked inside the box; this ensures a better presentation of the product in exclusive packaging.Great innovations also for T4 Mod-ula, AcmaVolpak’s double chamber “knotted” packaging solution: the first unit has recently been installed at an international top player’s facil-ity. Introduced to the public on the occasion of the latest edition of In-terpack, T4 ensures a higher level of

flavour and fragrance of the product. In addition to its performance in line with its category (T4 can package up to 250 bags per minute), this new solution by AcmaVolpak is particu-larly advanced in terms of sustain-ability and materials saving. The tea bag packaged by T4 is defined “the most beautiful in the world”: pro-duced in non heat-sealed filter pa-per, it is 100% biodegradable and is sealed without using any metal staple in order to better preserve the genuineness of its content; an oc-tagonal tag is placed on the front of the bag, while the string is attached underneath. These features make the tea bag aesthetically more pleas-ant and optimize brand visibility, thus supporting the customer’s marketing strategies. Also in this case, the ex-clusivity of bags is ensured: the string does not overlap with the label and there are no holes on the label, unlike standard bags currently in use.Come visit us at Booth: Coesia / Hall N°5a / Stand N° F052

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. In every ALcode print&apply

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. They can outline the best configu-ration for every labelling problem, matching the standard modules in-cluded in our catalogue in order to offer custom-made solutions, sup-plying nothing more, but above all nothing less than what is needed.Once installed, an ALTECH labelling machine is serviced right through its life by expert technical staff that provides repairs and implemen-tation, if required. This is how the success of our systems translates into success for our distributors, and benefit for our customers, in a synergic relationship of mutual co-operation.

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.

T he trend towards automa-tion is also making great strides among beverage

suppliers. Users want their ma-chines and systems to work more efficiently and safely while at the same time relieving employees of tiring, monotonous and physically heavy work. The BEUMER Group de-velops customized system solutions like the BEUMER stretch hood high-performance packaging machine and incorporates them as needed into existing packaging lines. In ad-dition, BEUMER integrates its ma-chinery into higher-level systems. In this way beverage suppliers are able to cut their logistics costs con-siderably.Efficient automation equipment which reduces cycle times in pro-duction as well as costs continues to be the focus for many users and is considered an important factor for success. Beverage suppliers are therefore more and more frequently relying on automated system solu-tions that are specially tailored to meet their individual requirements. “The challenge for the future lies in the integration of these systems,” ex-plains Franz-Joseph Kleigrewe. The automation manager has been with the BEUMER Group since 1977 and knows what he is talking about. He is convinced that the dovetailing of processes will continue to increase. “Intralogistics is in a state of change. This is due to the demographic de-velopment as well as the increasing complexity of processes. Automation engineering in particular is therefore continuously encouraged,” he says. In this way, manual operations can be optimized and expedient syner-gies formed between man and ma-chine. Automation engineering is the

key to technical development and further progress.

Coordinated systems“Users want systems which are op-timally matched to one another,” says Kleigrewe, who is well aware of the market requirements. BEUMER supplies its stretch hood high-per-formance packaging machine to the beverage industry. Its special-ists integrate the machine without any trouble into existing packaging lines. Thanks to its many years of experience in control and automa-tion engineering, the system provid-er BEUMER is able to take project planning into its own hands and implement complex tasks in intralo-gistics. This includes intelligent link-ing of individual machines and their integration into existing process control or merchandise information systems.

Efficient application in practiceIn wine cellars and other beverage

production facilities, various bev-erages are automatically bottled, sealed with corks, agrafes and cap-sules, and fitted with the appropri-ate label. They are then packed in different cartons or put on trays. A robot picks up these units and stacks them on waiting pallets. In order to reduce transport damage on the truck loading surfaces and to satisfy increased logistics require-ments, the beverage stacks must then be safely packed. A stretch hood high-performance packag-ing machine supplied by BEUMER is used for this purpose. The pal-letized beverage cartons are fed as full pallets to the stretch hood pack-aging system via a conveyor. The innovative control equipment au-tomatically detects different stack heights and flexibly adjusts itself to suit. An ultrasonic sensor deter-mines the necessary film length. The full pallets are covered with a thin film hood. Thus the load units are effectively secured during trans-

portation and reach the customers undamaged. In order to determine the security of the packaged load, BEUMER and a well-known spar-kling wine producer together with DEKRA, the world’s leading expert organization for safety, quality and environmental protection, success-fully carried out various road tests under extreme conditions.

Smaller, faster, more practicalBEUMER has now redesigned this high-performance packaging sys-tem from the bottom up. As part of this, its specialists analyzed dif-ferent components and optimized them for functionality, arrangement and ergonomics. Users find the new BEUMER stretch hood A much more practical and easy to use than other systems in this series. In order to simplify work for maintenance per-sonnel and ensure a higher level of availability, it has no stage and thus no steps. Maintenance tasks like changing the knives or the sealer bar are now performed at floor lev-el. For this work the operator opens a drawer and has free access to the knife and sealer bar. The machine stops automatically for safety. It is no longer necessary to move the as-semblies into the maintenance po-sition. Thanks to this quick access, maintenance is fast and the risk of accidents and malfunctions is mini-mized. The operator can insert the film quickly and easily, without us-ing any tools.After being produced, the film hood is conveyed to the machine by means of a gentle, newly devised film transport system. The seam of the film hood cools on the way to the reefing and stretching device, allowing the film hood to be reefed without loss of time. The pallets can be packaged at a faster rate. This reduces downtimes and improves packaging performance, while at the same time cutting back on en-ergy consumption. The developers have also improved the human-

machine interface to provide an even more ergonomic setup for op-erators. For this purpose the intral-ogistics specialist introduced the BEUMER Group Human Machine In-terface (HMI), a newly designed op-erating unit with an improved user interface and graphic navigation. The interface is easy to understand and self-explanatory, permitting ef-ficient planning of work sequences. The machine is controlled using a soft-touch panel with menu guid-ance and pictograms. The panel also gives the operator access to all the necessary training pro-grams. The system is controlled by a Siemens SIMATIC S7-300. The U-shaped design of the frame also allows the BEUMER stretch hood to be easily connected to existing con-veyor systems. Conveying no longer has to be interrupted, allowing the pallets to move smoothly and en-suring the stability of the palletized goods. The new machine can be

equipped with the BEUMER multi-stretch system, which can process different kinds of film and imple-ment different packaging methods such as understretch and shelf warehouse stretching.

Experience counts To enable the BEUMER Group to provide optimum user support, the intralogistics specialist has formed teams in the individual group com-panies and at the Beckum site which specialize in automation so-lutions. More than 200 employees now work for the BEUMER Group in this area. “Our objective is to ac-celerate development cycles and to continuously raise the high standard which we have evolved as a result of our know-how,” says Kleigrewe. “This is the only way we can provide the right solution for our customers and look after them in an optimum manner.” The staff provide project support from the

When it comes to installation and commissioning, the BEUMER Customer Support staff knows exactly what to do to get the systems running as quickly as possible.

inquiry to the point of handover to the customer. First of all, the spe-cialists produce a system draft. If this is suitable, it is passed on for implementation. The staff carry out the electrical installation and inte-grate the machine and system con-trols, as well as writing the software for the PLC and for the robot equip-ment. A graphical representation of the processes on a user interface is also part of the system. BEUMER also ensures that information is meaningfully transmitted between the different operating levels – for example by means of ERP and MES systems.Various sorting and distribution systems are set up in BEUMER’s in-house Technical Center in Beckum. The staff carry out several tests to enable them to fulfill the user’s re-quirements. “We are helped in this by valuable experience which we have gathered from numerous pro-jects throughout the world,” under-lines Kleigrewe. This is because the packaging machine film behaves differently in the cool climate of Germany than in Asia or Africa, for example. The prevailing tempera-tures there are different, and the humidity can be considerably high-er. When all the requirements have been fulfilled, the staff carry out the installation and commissioning on site. “The BEUMER specialists know exactly what to do to get the systems running as quickly as pos-sible,” says Kleigrewe.

Optimally matched at all timesWhen it comes to system develop-ment, three factors affect one an-other: customer orientation, inno-vation and standardization. In the case of projects which are matched to the customer’s individual re-quirements, the solutions can only be applied indirectly to other pro-jects. Innovation projects provide major opportunities, such as sig-nificant competitive advantages for new projects. On the other hand,

they require very stringent project management in order to adhere to costs and schedules. As there is no progress without these innovative projects, BEUMER regularly under-takes them while carefully weighing up the opportunities and risks. With the proven standard solutions, the customer is provided with a cost-effective and reliably operating sys-tem which he can put into operation in a very short time. “The processes usually differ with different users,” remarks Kleigrewe. “This is why our solutions are always specially adapted – sometimes more, some-times less.” The ability to accommo-date individual requirements is one of the BEUMER Group’s strengths.

Common standards make for short project durations“We often start from the situation where the larger the machine and the more systems are incorporated, the more control systems are used, and these have to be matched to one another,” explains Kleigrewe. Four control systems have been de-veloped at BEUMER over the years. “In order to be more flexible in de-sign and also to enable commission-ing to be carried out more quickly, our objective with all developments is to use a common drive concept as

well as common machine and sys-tem controls,” says Kleigrewe. “We provide conveyor elements and in-terface definitions for horizontal and vertical communication straight out of the box.” For rapid development phases, the BEUMER Group has cre-ated a common software platform for all company employees. Product management and project manage-ment are all carried out using this platform. All staff involved in the project are provided with a common working environment. The common basis makes for more efficient work-ing and reduces project durations.When the systems have been com-missioned, BEUMER Customer Support staff train the machine operators and the maintenance personnel. This is the only way to ensure that the customer gets the most out of the machine. Train-ing brings machine operators up to date on technological advances and introduces new employees to the systems. “Automated solutions are particularly suited to continu-ous processes when systems run around the clock seven days a week,” advises Kleigrewe. “This en-ables companies to save staff and for them to be deployed in other ar-eas. Automated solutions are there-fore amortized very quickly.”

Their tasks also include the electrical installation and the integration of the ma-chine and system controls.

H ISTORY“The future belongs to those who believe in the

beauty of their dreams”. Eleanor Roosvelt

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

PRODUCTIONCIESD is a leading Italian Company in the fields of twistable film produc-tion, rotogravure printing (including cold seal applications) and lami-nation of various films for the food sector (confectionary, dairy, bakery, snacks, coffee, drinks, etc.). Over the years, the demands of the mar-ket and a willingness to offer an ever increasingly painstaking, precise and specialized service have ena-bled CIESD to invest in new produc-tion processes, such as the metal-lization and the de-metallization of flexible films of various types, focus-ing, on one hand on independence from outsourcers, and on the other, on expanding its product portfolio.During these years, the Company’s drive to devise new and appeal-ing solutions has enabled it to de-velop two special processes, both of which were presented at Inter-pack 2014 in Düsseldorf: PER-FECT REGISTER DE-METALLISATION

and PEARLESCENT PRINTING on various packaging types. Both pro-cesses enhance the prestige of the packaged product, increasing its visibility and drawing the consum-er’s attention.

QUALITYThe entire production process, from the select raw materials to the fin-ished product, is closely followed and controlled in such a way as to guarantee the quality of the final product, which is also guaranteed by UNI EN ISO 9001 and BRC-IoP certifications.

ENVIRONMENTCIESD has always been committed to protecting the environment, zero-ing its aerial emissions and manag-ing all production processes, and the waste generated by them, in an ethical and responsible manner.

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

the customer’s day-to-day necessi-ties, guaranteeing professionalism, reliability, punctuality and coopera-tion.CIESD is a dream of a family that continues to prosper, but most im-portantly, it is a reality to be experi-enced and appreciated.

A t this year’s interpack, Südpack Verpackungen GmbH & Co. KG present-

ed Veraplex for the first time. The completely new film generation offers maximum product protec-tion with minimal film thickness. Although the film is extremely thin, it provides outstanding puncture resistance with an extremely high oxygen/aroma barrier. The film is suitable for products with high mechanical requirements and for corrosive bulk products. Film lami-nated with paper creates a very eco-sustainable packaging. The amount of film is kept to a mini-mum without sacrificing product protection properties.

“Veraplex is the film of the future,” said Südpack Managing Partner Johannes Remmele. “The material achieves an outstanding thickness to function performance ratio that is unprecedented in today’s mar-ket. It’s a revolution in film.” The film has impressive properties and many possibilities for presentation. It is highly transparent and can be designed using flexographic and ro-togravure printing processes.

Veraplex Craft: optimal combi-nation of film and paperVeraplex Craft laminates film with paper. Only 25 µm thick, the film improves eco-sustainability while maintaining the same product pro-tection properties. Veraplex com-

bined with paper also scores points when it comes to product presen-tation. The renewable resource ensures stability yet has a natural look and feel. Consumers instantly recognize the ecological advantag-es of the packaging – a persuasive factor at point of sale. Options in-clude a laser-cut window that offers a direct view of the product inside and reinforces consumer trust. Ve-raplex Craft combines the strengths of both materials: The functionality of film and consumer acceptance of paper as a packaging material. Veraplex Craft can be processed as a tubular bag and as a lid film on standard packaging machines.

Wide range of applications, efficient applicationVeraplex is available as a laminate or a paperless co-extruded lid film. Thanks to its excellent mechanical properties, it can be processed on all standard machines without sac-rificing performance capabilities. Its minimal thickness and reduced weight means that a roll holds twice as much material. This makes for longer runtimes with fewer roll changes during the pro-duction process.

Veraplex’s high aroma barrier and puncture resistance make it espe-cially suited for packing demanding bulk products. The film can be used in bulk packaging for industrial pro-cessing in the B2B sector, as well as B2C packaging for consumers. In both cases, the extremely thin film creates an optimum packaging to product ratio – even for a small number of units. Stable, packable bags are laminat-ed with paper. Their degree of stiff-ness varies depending on require-ments. Veraplex is also available in white for opaque packaging that protects the contents from light.

“We designed and developed Vera-plex based on a unique technology,” Remmele said. “Interpack as the packaging indus-try’s leading trade event was the ideal setting to introduce our new film to the market.”

L edo, the largest producer of ice cream in Croatia, is reaping the benefits of hav-

ing a bespoke pack created togeth-er with RPC Superfos Balkan.

Thanks to its great taste and unique packaging, the easily-recognisable family ice cream Quattro is fre-quently added to shopping carts throughout Croatia, Bosnia & Her-zegovina, and Serbia.

It is sold in a sleek, transparent plastic pack displaying four differ-ent ice cream flavours including a mouth-watering combination of almond, mandarin, lavender and crème caramel.

Each flavour is beautifully deco-rated with a topping and a sauce which also need to be clear to see straight from the display freezer at the supermarket.

The transparent packaging solu-tion for Quattro has been made es-pecially for the Croatian company Ledo, and its subsidiary Frikom in

Serbia. Both are market leaders in the production of ice cream and distribution of frozen food in their respective countries.

Ledo was looking for a special pack for Quattro and approached RPC Superfos Balkan, the region’s lead-ing provider of injection moulded packaging.

With its in-house mould shop and highly skilled staff, RPC Superfos Balkan met Ledo’s demand for creative solutions. Tomislav Ki-tonic, Managing Director of Ledo, says: “Our marketing team worked closely with RPC Superfos Balkan to develop and produce a totally new and remarkable packaging solution. During the brainstorm and work-shop phase, RPC Superfos Balkan demonstrated great creativity and flexibility - every wish we had regard-ing the packaging could be realised. Unquestionably, the packaging so-lution adds value to our brand.”

The pack comes in two sizes, 1650 ml and 900 ml, and has round cor-

ners and a lid that is easy to open and reclose. The four ice cream combinations are ready to serve, straight from the freezer to the din-ner table, while its shape allows ef-ficient storage and easy transporta-tion.

Ledo is already a household brand and the Quattro range has further reinforced the company’s market position. “Together with RPC Superfos Bal-kan, we have created an ice cream pack with a strong distinctive char-acter. Everybody here knows Quat-tro – not least because of the pack-aging – and the popularity of the range is reflected in sales figures as well,” concludes Tomislav Kitonic.

RPC Superfos Balkan, formerly Helioplast and based in Bosnia & Herzegovina, became part of the RPC Superfos cluster in Decem-ber 2013. The company recently opened a new production facility equipped with the latest technol-ogy.

G sr Cocoa Machinery, a company placed in Calol-ziocorte, in the heart of

the Province of Lecco, since 1992 has been able to satisfy all needs of anyone needs cocoa and other masses pressing machineries, such as hazelnut paste or oily masses. GSR is proud of its portfolio of ap-preciated value, including any type of machinery assigned to the press-ing of cocoa or other products from which you must extract fats and oils.

Among GSR’s jewels there are lines manufactured to realize the big-gest productions, while other ones have been designed to satisfy the needs of medium-sized manufac-turers and others are addressed to people engaged in the craft sector or in the tests fulfillment and labo-ratory simulations. GSR’s creative and innovative capacities allow this company to own a large choice of presses, from the smallest presses to the biggest ones, able not only to satisfy the global standards, but to generate competitiveness in the sector of reference, too.

Among the Series of big productions Lines there are Series 900/10, 12, 14 pots and Series 980/ 16 pots. In2012/13 GSR manufactured Se-ries 900/8 pots, 980/18 pots and LOXO Series 18/1000, 18 pots. It is a matter of machineries able to cov-er a productive capacity from 450 up to 2800 kg/hour. A business proud: we obtained amazing re-sults, high reliability and a very low cost per processed t. Three Series which overtook the global standard, increasing it further and make sure

the company will go on in dictating the rules of the market.

The excellence has been exceeded also in the Compact Series 870/4, 6 and 8 pots. An automated Series in each part, from the conditioning of the mass, to the control of the extracted butter and broken co-coa cake. A line which successfully answers to the needs of medium and small-sized companies, which in this way succeed in obtaining a highest quality level machineries at a moderate price and in achieving a productive independence.

Flagship in GSR is the Laboratory Line. Small-sized Series designed to pay attention to who desires to realize productive lines for the re-search process. It is a matter of Se-ries 1/1400 and 2/1250, both able to bear exceptional 60 minutes pressing cycles at the maximum pressures thanks to a scrupulous and careful mechanical design, an

advanced hydraulic engineering as well as a precise and efficient software in checking the pressing phase and in managing the param-eters. The one pot Series 1400, is a high technology concentrate able to exercise a specific pressure on the 1400 kg product, a perfect jew-el for people involved in the sector of the research. The two pots Series 1250, on the contrary, which exer-cises 1250 kg / cm² specific pres-sure on the product, is recommend-ed to laboratories which need to work on big quantities of products or to repeat the tests. Alongside of the pressing lines addressed to re-search and laboratory sectors, GSR designs and manufactures comple-mentary elements such as melting-conditioning systems and breakers, essential to carry out these activi-ties.

MT/10 Series includes melting and conditioning systems specifi-cally studied for laboratories. Their

duty is to prepare the masses to be loaded into the press without alter-ing the original features. It is a mat-ter of unique machineries in their own category, reliable and precise in performing their task. The ‘melting’ phase is fundamental when it is required to use panels or blocks of different masses, kept at a correct temperature with slowly stirring, avoiding so to alter their features. On the other hand the ‘conditioning’ phase is necessary to lead a liquid mass to a set tempera-ture value, by keeping it constant and uniform thanks to a controlled stirring.MT/10 melting and conditioning system is the fundamental element to melt, stir and keep at the liquid state and at a constant tempera-ture cocoa liquors, chocolate, hazel-nut paste, cocoa butter, chocolate substitutes,

vegetable fats and glucose as well as all the products which need to be leaded to a set temperature, before being pressed or submitted to other manufacturing.

In the large portfolio dedicated to research laboratories, we add Se-ries G10S and G15S, special break-ers manufactured to crush cakes coming from the pressing process, in order to obtain a small-sized and checked mince. This is a useful result also in the treatment of the nibs and other products which need to be pre-crushed for the separation from the shell.

Among the Laboratory Lines and the Compact ones, this year they have introduced a big novelty: PILOT Line 902. It is a line halfway between the Laboratory Lines and the Compact

ones, able to work different kind of masses, from cocoa masses to hazelnut ones and other fat or oily masses, from sunflower seeds to peanut ones, getting through to any oily mass. A line which has in-creased the quality standard of the sector, designed after a considera-tion about the current inclination which the cocoa sector and in gen-eral the whole food & beverage in-dustry have been undergoing in the last period.The culture of ‘personalizing’ is spreading in each sector, leading more and more the Customer to follow particular and refine tastes, result of various blends and com-plex manufacturing. This consumer trend determined a need of speciali-zation also among the producers, in the cocoa industry. Big companies, but also medium-size and smallest-size ones decided to create unique and particular products. Always more frequently we’ll find chocolate with particular tastes, like flowers and spices; from gluttony it became soon gourmet nourishment, some-times niche foods, adorned with particular flavours and aromas. All along GSR has been investing time and resources in research; there-fore the company in Lecco immedi-ately realized this new tendency. An important consumer change which needed the design and the manu-facturing of a new line, not yet pre-sent on the market.This idea has been concretized with Pilot 902, machinery manufactured

after a long phase of coding of the essential prerequisites of the cur-rent pressing lines, which could an-swer to the needs of the underway process. In this way this business jewel was born, as answer to the need of dis-tinction and specialization, raised in the last period. A line with a productive capac-ity less than 100 kg/hour, with a pressing power up to 900 kg/hour, provided with an extraordinary flexibility, able to make it suitable to work not only cocoa masses, but also hazelnut paste and other masses gathered from various kind of seeds, from sesame to flax, from sunflower to peanut; an extremely reliable line, capable to carry out both lightweight and heavyweight pressing processes, at standard or cold temperature, technologically advanced but with easy manage-ment and installation, capable to assure very low levels of mainte-nance, reduced energetic consump-tion and the highest qualitative global standard.All the expertise GSR has been growing up in the course of its life is included in Pilot 902, a technologi-cal jewel which combines features of high production with specific features of the Compact lines. A notable result which allowed us to highlight the winning GSR’s DNA. Aesthetically nice and well-groomed in each minimum detail, it is a small-sized pressing line, perfect for operators who want to achieve personalized productions and for those who are involved in the fulfill-ment of research processes. A ma-chinery which answers to all quali-tative and technological standard, as well as reliability, hygiene and efficiency, typical in GSR, a level of excellence which all along has been distinguishing this Italian company all over the word. A concentrate of technology, equipped with the most advanced technologies, which has been preview introduced at Inter-

pack fair in Düsseldorf last May.

Every Client’s request and desire are satisfied thanks to these per-fect examples of machineries of the latest generation, able to guarantee the best in terms of technology, re-liability, hygiene and quality of the used materials. Every pressing line is equipped with useful devices to facilitate the Operator’s activities. He will work with a well-designed and highly productive machinery, reliable and ‘nice’. Each line is equipped with an advanced

control system which not only man-ages all the phases, but also pro-vides useful information for the ad-justment of the productive process.Lines signed GSR are pressing lines able to work continuously, without interruptions, with the lowest Total Cost Operation per processed ton, by keeping the cheapest mainte-nance costs. GSR, during its life, has been able to design and manu-facture the best solutions, estab-lishing the new global standards.For GSR, quality is an essential ele-ment in the manufacturing of its ma-chineries. GSR’s ISO 9001:2008 certification is kept at high levels. Recurring mechanical, hydraulic

and electrical tests, as well as qual-ity tests and controls are made on the pressing lines, in addition to the trial of each single component. This attention makes GSR’s lines very re-liable: the quality-control system is developing in each process phase, from the choice of the materials to be used to the manufacture pro-cedures; from the heat-treatment to the manufacture tolerance, till reaching hardness and roughness.Design is another fundamental aspect. It is a matter of GSR’S distinctive productive factor: the whole structural design of machin-eries has been minutely designed and studied. Surfaces, all-sides rounded surfaces, high-placed loading groups, piping, electric on-board equipment and many other elements have been designed to guarantee the highest standard of hygiene, to prevent remains and to allow an easy cleaning and mainte-nance.GSR has been able not only to equip its machineries with very high ad-vanced technologies, but also to honor them with a captivating and unique look, believing that work-ing on nice machineries will raise greater respect and passion for its work.

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

T he versatile PTR-1030 Series Open-Mouth Bagger from Premier Tech Chronos (PTC)

is being released for European sales at the forthcoming Interpack 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 option is also avail-able that allows the PTR-1030 to suc-cessfully handle porous woven poly-propylene 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 operat-ing functions to different robotic arms has enabled PTC to enhance the speed of the PTR-1030, which has

also benefited from the proven reli-ability of the FANUC Robotics, which is an international leader in the man-ufacturing of intelligent robotic solu-tions. PTR-1030 is one of the most versatile 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, polyethylene; lami-nated woven polypropylene; and po-rous woven polypropylene bags. Bag widths in the range 279 to 610mm; and bag lengths of 457 to 1016mm can be successfully handled.The way the robotic arms has been programmed allows the PTR-1030 to provide optimum bag changeover times, when changing to a different packing schedule, a different prod-uct or a different type and, or size. The empty bag handling robot can also be upgraded with a vision sys-tem, which realigns the top of the bag during the empty bag placing

motion, thereby optimising the bag shape for subsequent bag closing 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 systems. 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 incorporation into sites with limited space and restricted heights. The use of smart wiring technology enables simple and speedy on-site installation / commissioning.A PTR-1030 will be displayed on the PTC booth (D23, Hall 12) at the forth-coming Interpack trade show; 8-14 May 2014. Premier Tech Chronos incorporates Richard Simon Limited, Verville, BTH, Premier Tech Chronos - America and Premier Tech Chronos – Asia for European spares, refur-bishments, service, installation and commissioning.

N ewtec Labelling srl designs and produces linear and rotary labeling machines

available in a wide range of models. There are different solutions that can be developed by wet glue, self adhesive and hot glue (Hot melt) ap-plication systems or with combined applications. The machines, that are fully produced by the Company, are characterized by a multipurpose ver-satility, reliability, flexibility and they are user-friendly. Designed to meet tough work loads at high speed pro-ductions, they satisfy all different variety of user requests. The label-ers can apply partial or wrap-around labels on containers for wines, veg-etable oils, soft drinks, liqueurs, mineral water, beer, dairy products, preserves, conditioning, cosmetics, chemicals etc.Generally used in production lines of big industries, Newtec Labelers can be even used autonomously both in small and medium-sized companies.Further they are planned and built in compliance with the most modern technologies in full respect of the European Standards as to accidents prevention.Based on the more and more evolv-ing marketing demands, the Com-pany produces a brand new range of labellers named ELITE, created either for standard applications e.g. by wet glue, self-adhesive and hot melt system or even with mixed combinations for customized re-quirements. The ELITE labellers, of which the company goes proud, are user-friendly and multi-tasking. They are based on advanced electronic digital systems and do not need to be supported by a direct interven-tion of the manufacturer. The bottles holding-plates are driven by brush-less motors and as they are elec-tronically controlled they allow the

ideal setting of the rotary cam for each format thanks to the recalling of the stored parameters.In addition the ELITE range can be also equipped with camera vision system for the orientation of the container at the inlet of the machine or equipped by optical photocells placed on each platform with cen-tralized adjustment and storable for the orientation of the labels in respect of a spot or relief on the bot-tles. Moreover THE ELITE can also be supplied with mechanical orien-tation of the notch on the bottle bot-tom or with No stop system. This lat-ter consists of the installation of two parallel labelling stations with the aim to handle the same label. The No-Stop system ensures remarkable time saving because it can reduce machine stops due to the required reel change-overs. In a very recent time Newtec Label-ling has worked upon a very impor-tant project as far as beverage field is concerned.

In order to encounter the client re-quests of a multi-purpose labeler, a machine of the ELITE range with mixed applications has been manu-factured. Required for the applica-tion of “U” shaped and “L” shaped tax label by wet glue system and for No. 5 self-adhesive labels on shaped and cylindrical bottles, this machine has been built with the bottles hold-ing plates driven by brushless mo-tors fitted on each platform. They are completed with programming device for rotation in compliance with the formats to be handled. Furthermore for the orientation of the labels in re-spect of a relief mark on the bottle surface it has been installed an elec-tronic centring by optical photocells placed on each platform with cen-tralized adjustment and storable.To complete the versatility of the ma-chine there have also been installed computerized position controls of the stations by the servomotors with storable parameters for each for-mat.

C ibra 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 microprocessor 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.

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 LIBECCIOand 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 TurboflashSome 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 GREA-TED 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: TSADRYER 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 PELLETSAfter 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: LIBECCIO 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.

ALBIS PLASTIC and Greiner PackaGinG Present ConvenIenCe PACkAgIng

Gold in PackaGinG innovation for The BeeMAgICTrAy

sHelFPlUs® o2 is used by Greiner Packaging for multilayer trays

A LBIS PLASTIC and Greiner Packaging now offer an ‘active packaging’ solu-

tion for meat and fish spreads. To reduce the risk of oxidation to sensitive foods such as pasteur-ized paté, Greiner Packaging uses oxygen-absorbing SHELFPLUS® O2 in thermoformed mutilayer trays. Roland Schultz, Director Market-ing Packaging at ALBIS PLASTIC, commented: “Substituting metal packaging with plastic packaging

requires maximum barriers and product protection, made possible only by a combination of EVOH and oxygen absorber.” In contrast to conventional pack-aging, active packaging solutions with integrated oxygen absorber eliminate the residual oxygen in the headspace and in the product after filling as well as oxygen per-meating through the multilayer structure. The advantages of the new packaging, according to Ken-

neth Boldog, Head of Division K at Greiner Packaging, “are the shaping and high quality decora-tion, the recloseability and the low carbon footprint.” Barrier packag-ing, equipped with SHELFPLUS® O2, eliminates the necessity of using preservative agents, anti-oxidants or coloring agents in the food recipe. The quality of sensitive constituents such as vitamins, fats and oils is preserved, and the taste remains unchanged.

P ackaging Innovation Con-test De Gouden Noot 2014 has been won by the

BeeMagicTray, a ground breaking solution for packaging fresh meat. The winner was announced during the 10th NVC Packaging Innovation Dinner on Tuesday 30 September2014 in the Holland Casino Utrecht, The Netherlands.De Gouden Noot is the world’s most competitive packaging innovation contest. With De Gouden Noot the NVC stimulates innovation of pack-aging and packaged products. Win-ning brings a wealth of international publicity and acknowledges the work put into the packaging. The unique trophy with a solid golden walnut is the symbol of the contest.The Kick-off of the 27th edition took place on 2 October 2013 in the Ato-mium in Brussels. On 8 and 9 April

2014 the first jury round took place. Here the jury could discuss all the entries with physical samples avail-able. In the second judging round, on 10 September 2014, the jury decided which entries won the Bronzen (bronze), Zilveren (silver) or De Gouden (gold) Noot. In this round the submitter was given the opportunity to present his/her entry in the presence of the jury.Chairman of the jury, prof. Onno Omta, about the winner: “The Gold goes to a consumer pack with pos-

sibilities unthought-of. An ancient physics law was rediscovered and made it possible to create a very simple pack in a market where complexity has been the standard. That means Simplification through Innovation! It is a tray for meat prod-ucts, that thanks to this innovation also gain longer shelf life in the su-permarket and the refrigerator at home. The tray is suitable for modi-fied atmosphere packaging (MAP) and makes the traditional moisture absorbers obsolete. The magic is in the honeycombs in the bottom that retain the moisture, because they act as capillaries. The traditional moisture absorption pad in the con-ventional meat trays does not have to be used any longer. All consid-ered together this pack contributes both to food safety and hygiene of meat 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

EVAL FP 5/14.indd 3 06/11/14 15:34

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 filling processes, and is compatible with metal detectors during processing.

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 sus-tainable, and doesn’t

protect against m i g r a t i o n

from the out-er carton boxes

used for transport and storage. EVAL provides a prov-

en barrier against MOSH/MOAH in thickness as thin as 4μm – once again, effective protection with only very small amounts of material. Better yet, our European Technical Centre can scientifically simulate the amount of MOSH/MOAH migra-tion 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.

B y implementing its ECO Booster™ service on four of Midwest Coca-Cola’s

SBO14/14 blow moulding machines, encompassing various bottle for-mats, Sidel has helped the bottler to make significant reductions in both the blowing pressure and the blow-ing ovens’ use of electricity. Across ten different bottle formats, the av-erage reduction in blowing pressure

was 45.9% (the lowest being 19.4% and the highest 50.7%). The aver-age reduction in the ovens’ energy consumption was 22.3% (with the lowest saving being 15.7% and the highest being 38.1%).

Improved efficiency and reduced footprintThe Midwest Coca-Cola Bottling Com-pany is located in Eagan, Minnesota.

The company manufactures bottles and distributes Coca-Cola products throughout much of the Midwestern area of the United States. The com-pany naturally wanted to maximise its profitability by increasing its pro-duction efficiency and minimising its operational costs. Yet, at the same time, the company was also looking to reduce the envi-ronmental impact of its processes

SIDEL SERVICES HELPS USA COCA-COLA BOTTLER REDUCE BLOWING PRESSURE BY OVER 50%Saving money and increasing efficiency are primary goals for many businesses. Most recognise the importance of environ-mental responsibility. For Midwest Coca-Cola, an operating unit of Coca-Cola Refreshments, the world’s third-largest inde-pendent Coca-Cola bottler, Sidel Services™ has demonstrated just how simple it can be to achieve these goals.

and that of its resource use. Mid-west called in Sidel, the leading provider of PET solutions for liquid packaging, in the hope of achiev-ing tangible cost and energy sav-ings through a detailed overview of existing line conditions during full production. Mr. Jim Tierney, Maintenance Man-ager of The Midwest Coca-Cola Bot-tling Company, explains: “Reduced resource use means reduced costs, which is a sustainability win-win for us. For this reason we are always looking to speak with our partners about new innovations that can help us achieve this goal. The Sidel ECO Booster is a great example of this, resulting in a significant reduction of our blowing air pressure and oven electricity use across four of our lines.”

Complete range of ECO ServicesTo maximise energy savings for customers, Sidel has developed a complete range of line improve-ment options and upgrades with a focus on quantifiable savings and quick return on investment (ROI), calling heavily upon its vast experi-ence in PET packaging production technology. Its ECO Booster service analyses a line to identify poten-tial opportunities for savings us-ing these technologies. Efficiency measurement tools can be installed that automatically record the con-sumption of all utilities (air, water, electricity and carbon dioxide) by individual machines, lines, produc-tion zones or even an entire plant. As well as measuring consumption and calculating energy costs per bot-tle produced, the service and tools provide the ability to facilitate corre-lation between consumption levels and different production procedures (start-up, shut-down, changeover and cleaning). This information can then be used by beverage producers to effectively support initiatives for reducing waste.

Comprehensive service of measurement, advice and improvementAt the outset of the ECO Booster ser-vice, on-site production conditions are fully measured and analysed by a Sidel Services specialist carefully gauging the use of electricity and air pressure. For Midwest Coca-Cola the next step was a mechanical testing of the blow moulders’ sub-assemblies. Be-

cause when it comes to the use of energy within busy production lines, the blow moulder is usually the main cause, often accounting for as much as 70% of overall energy consump-tion. Furthermore, a sizable portion of that consumption can be attrib-uted to the provision of compressed air during the blowing process.The process and technical qualities of the package, the quality of the air and cooling water, and the overall production environment of the ma-chine were then carefully checked. Based on the findings of the tests, an action plan and servicing sched-ule specific to the customer was then proposed. These were accom-panied by an estimate for energy and cost savings and anticipated the ROI forecast.With the proposals agreed by Mid-west Coca-Cola, a plan of action was implemented. In addition to the servicing itself, Sidel can also put in place consumption monitoring and process control tools as well as additional laboratory or production-control equipment.Maintenance Manager Jim Tier-ney commented: “Having the Sidel experts work with our own guys to adapt our equipment brought peace of mind that the intervention would be quick and easy, and ultimately led to a short return to production and faster ROI.” Editors’ Note: The images within this document are for illustrative purpos-es only and should not be used for reproduction.

considerably increasing because of their high quality. In Europe and the US (but also in whole world) 100% juice (not from concentrate) category is showing a strong growth potential. Of particular importance, in this sector, are the chilled juice, fruit juices that are prepared directly from the fresh fruit and then are just chilled and filled or slightly pasteuri-zed and chilled in order to retain all organolectic characteristics.The majority of the chilled juice found in the shops shelfs is based on orange but other varieties like pi-neapple, grapefruit, carrots as well as blends (orange-carrot, orange-pineapple, carrot-lemon-pineapple etc.) are becoming more and more popular.The main hints for the design of a plant processing fresh fruit into chil-led juices are: Optimization of flow of fruit/juice Optimization of characteristics of process equipment Optimization of processing cycles in order to:1. Decrease processing times2. Minimize oxidation of the juice3. Keep high organolectic characte-ristics Optimize CIP system to control the

microbiology of the juice. Some of the machines used for the application are dedicated for a cer-tain type of fruit, for istance: Dedicated citrus juice extractors (orange, lemons, grapefruit), in or-der to minimize the essential oil con-tent in the juice and assure a good control of the pulp. Deshellers and dedicated presses for pomegranate to produce cloudy or clear juice which importance is considerably increasing for the be-neficial health characteristics. Dedicated pineapple juicing in or-der to obtain high quality juice only from the edible part of the fruit wi-thout contamination with the peel.These are some examples but few.Extractors for juice/puree can be provided for apples, carrots, pears, passion fruit, banana, beets, man-go, spinach, asparagus, berries, hawthorns, guava etc. The obtained juice is immediately (blended or not) slightly pasteurized (65-70°C) and chilled before filling. All these exam-ples of equipment have been desi-gned, built and put in operation by Bertuzzi Food Processing Srl, an Ita-lian Company that operates in this field since 1936 and that supplies plants and machines to process fru-it and vegetables to produce juice, concentrates, baby food, jam, ready-made drinks etc…

BERTUZZI FOOD PROCESSING Srl, fondée en1936, est l'un des principaux acteurs mondiaux dans laconception et la fourniture de machines et d'installa-tions complètes pour la transformation de tout type devégétales et de fruits en jus, concentrés, aliments pourbébé, confitures, boissons prêtes à l'emploi, etc.


A company in the South of France was looking for a so-lution to unload fruit paste

to fill their breakfast cereals. Previ-ously, they did this by hand (scoop-ing), however, as unloading took too long and generated operator fatigue; they were looking for a new solution. The new solution was ex-pected to eliminate operator fatigue and difficulties, increase comfort as well as the speed of unloading and productivity.

Improved productivity LRI, a Graco distributor in Toulouse, selected the Graco SaniForce™ drum unloader equipped with a 12:1 piston pump to unload the fruit paste from 200 liter straight-sided metal drums. LRI chose the SaniForce drum unloader thanks to its simplicity and ease of use. It is manufactured with high quality, is durable and has the best-in-class price/quality ratio. Choosing this SaniForce unit as a solution pro-vided benefits such as reduction of operator fatigue, gains in comfort, increased speed of unloading and productivity improvements.

Less than 1% loss of material The SaniForce Drum Unloader pro-vided the necessary pressure for pumping and discharging the paste over a distance of 8 meters. Evacu-ation time was measured at 3 min-utes. All operations are pneumatic and safe, thanks to the closed air control box. The handling of the drum is limited to a minimum, so now drum elevation and dump are no longer necessary. Less than 1% of the material is lost.

The end-user was happy with the result as SaniForce meets their re-quirements in terms of ease of use

and improvement of working condi-tions. It also fulfills their expecta-tions with regard to gains in produc-tivity. With a 3 minute evacuation time, the end-user was satisfied and gladly invested in the unit.

I n the space of just 10 years the Italian-based cooling de-vices manufacturer Zanotti

group has more than doubled an-nual profits, thanks to a successful business plan which was introdu-ced right after the company’s pri-vatisation in 2002. Today the group is ready to exploit the full potential of new markets by extending its international influence as a global player. The Zanotti group designs, de-velops, manufactures and tests refrigeration equipment for food storage and for industrial purpo-ses, including cooling devices for transporting foodstuff. As a world

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

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

REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT FOR FOOD STORAGE AND FOR INDUSTRIAL PURPOSES

ZANOTTI FP 1/14.indd 3 13/02/14 16.39


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ZANOTTI FP 1/14.indd 4 13/02/14 16.39


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

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

propane, propylene, ammonia and CO2. These units are widely used in all sectors of the food industry.Zanotti will continue to invest large sums of money every year to rese-arch new technologies that can re-duce the amount of harmful emis-sions released into the atmosphere.Under the energy saving concept, was created the BESTCOP® techno-logy. It is applied on the motorized condensing units that are manu-factured by Zanotti to improve the efficiency and energy consumption levels of the cooling equipment. This basically can be translated into energy savings (from 15 to 20% depending on the different envi-ronmental conditions). Zanotti Spa developed the first Ita-lian magnetic cooling at room tem-perature prototype, the only one of its kind worldwide, in collaboration with the TEC division of the Me-chanical Engineering, Energetic, Production, Transportation and Ma-thematical Models Dept. (DIME) of the University of Genoa. This ena-bled Zanotti to acquire the basic elements needed to achieve this technology and to apply it by im-

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

Z ANOTTI Spa, which has been operating in the in-dustrial refrigeration field

for 50 years, was recently chosen to become a partner of Emirates Flight Catering, a company of the Emira-tes Group, to implement the refri-geration system at their facilities in Dubai International Airport. Emi-rates Airlines, a renowned national airline company of the UAE, was awarded the best airline company worldwide in 2013 at the World Ai-rline Awards 2013 (source SkyTrax Airline of the Year).The contract, worth approximately 21 million dollars, was stipulated to implement the new Catering pro-duction of Dubai International Ai-

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

for the refrigeration system inclu-des: 103 cold rooms, 100 blast chil-lers, 16 ice makers for a capacity of 32,000 kg a day, one spiral chiller and plenty of other appliances. ZANOTTI Spa will need about 2 ye-ars for the design and implementa-tion of this system that will become operative in 2016 to cope with the needs of logistic support of the in-creasing number of new aircrafts, including Airbus A380.ZANOTTI Spa is very proud to have won this contract and to have been chosen out of the best global com-petitors. This affirms it’s a reliable company that is able to provide sui-table guarantees to guarantees to a giant like Emirates Airlines.

T echnology & innovation and a single reference partner are the keys to success.

As we all know, society today has be-come increasingly more frenetic and “fast” and this is also true of food; more and more often there is a need for quick and easy to eat meals at our disposal.Which is where the idea for instant pasta comes from: instant because it takes just a few minutes and a lit-tle boiling water to enjoy an excellent healthy meal of pasta with sauce, a great alternative to Asian noodles.The NEW INSTANT PASTA LINES are the result of the incessant activities carried out in the Storci Research & Development Lab: they were con-ceived by following the latest food trends and are available in two dif-

ferent versions to meet all needs:› TURNKEY, for a complete service which follows the customer from the development of the project right through to packaging;› AUTOMATIC AND SEMIAUTOMATIC LINES which envisage a system for the production of instant, dehydrat-ed pasta ready for mixing with other ingredients;These lines offer a number of advan-tages for example: › from the possibility of diversifica-tion for anyone already producing pasta and great opportunities for anyone entering the market;› the lines are versatile and custom-izable;› the customer has the opportunity to test production with sauces and different recipes in the Storci Re-

search and Development Lab.› cleaning of the cooking system is very simple.Two types of packaging are avail-able: the pasta-cup, intended mainly for eating the product away from home, and the packet which needs to be poured into a container and is for indoor use. Normally they are both mono-portions.For those who already have a pasta plant it is possible to “convert” the existing lines into an instant pasta system or to add this new technology to the traditional equipment (based on an assessment by Storci techni-cal experts).This is a market showing significant growth with products offering excel-lent profit margins: are you ready to keep up?

F rom fryers to griddles to ovens, heat is an impor-tant component in most

foodservice applications. When it comes to the heat source for frying, not all heating elements are cre-ated equal. Electric fryer heaters can be seg-mented into two broad categories – round tubular heaters, and flat tu-bular heaters. When first introduced, fryer heaters were round tubular. But engineers found that a flat tubular design offered many benefits – the most important being that the shape lifts the oil into the cook zone far bet-ter than round heaters. An innovation was born.

Flat Surface GeometryBecause of its design and geometry, flat tubular heaters will heat viscous fluids from ambient temperature faster than round tubular elements with the same wattage and at a lower sheath temperature. The benefit of this shape is the enhanced flow of liq-uid past the surface of the heating el-ement. The round tubular has a much more erratic flow pattern (see graph-ic). Note the currents swirl around and trap heat next to the sheath. This is due to the tubular’s round shape, which causes a wider and less effi-cient flow of liquid around the heater surface.The flow pattern around the flat tubu-lar heater is streamlined; the flat sur-face has less restriction on the liquid as it moves up and past the heater sides. This efficient and faster flow pattern permits the liquid to move heat away from the sheath very quick-ly, resulting in the flat tubular heater’s lower operating sheath temperature (see graphic).

Greater Buoyancy ForceThis natural convection phenomenon partially depends on the ratio of a buoy-ancy force to the viscous force of the fluid being heated. The buoyancy force or the flow of liquid up and across the heater surface is mainly determined by the length of the heater sides. The side of a flat tubular heater is typically 1 in. (25 mm), compared to the 0.43 in. (10.9 mm) or less dimension of a round tubular element. The flat tubular heat-er’s smaller edge and longer side cre-ates a buoyancy force up to ten times greater than a round tubular heater de-pending on the material being heated.

Smaller Dimension Normal to FlowThis feature refers to the width dimen-sion of the heater that the liquid flows around. Typically, a narrower dimen-sion will give a smoother and faster liquid flow. For example, the round tubular’s wide dimension, nearly a half-inch, inhibits the flow of liquid. It causes currents which disrupt the flow and the flow rate is somewhat slower. The flat tubular heater, on the other hand, has a much thinner dimension 0.235 in. (5.97 mm), which reduces the drag forces on the liquid flowing past the heater. This allows the liquid to move past the flat heater faster than

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

Faster Heat Up Flat surface technology provides faster heat up and recovery times than round tubular heaters. Their unique shape minimizes coking and oil degradation, and enhances the flow of the oil past the element’s surface, helping to pull heat away from the heater sheath. Compacted magnesium oxide (MgO) insulation transfers heat away from resistance wire to sheath material and media more efficiently, shortening heat-up time. In addition, the heater lasts longer because it runs at a sig-nificantly lower sheath temperature than an equal watt density round tu-bular. This also prolongs the life of the

oil which shortens and reduces costs from frequent changing. If coking is a problem, it is an indica-tion that the sheath temperature is too hot and is burning the oil. A flat tubu-lar heater will provide a lower sheath temperature than a round tubular el-ement, without reducing wattage or watt density. Coking is also reduced by the wiping action that occurs as the heated liquid flows past the heaters surface. The result is less liquid degra-dation and longer liquid life. Watlow’s flat tubular heater, called FIREBAR®, has long been a standard in the foodservice industry. An inde-pendent study that adhered to the American Society for Testing and Ma-terials (ASTM) standards, called “Pro-totype Element Performance Test,” revealed that the FIREBAR flat heating element was the first to consistently return the oil to the 171°C (340°F) re-load temperature. FIREBAR also main-tained the highest average cook zone temperature of the heating elements tested, recorded the fastest pre-heat time and offered one of the lowest pre-heat energy consumption levels ever tested. During the performance comparison test of the FIREBAR heater versus an equivalent kW round tubular heater, per ASTMs test method F1361-7, the FIREBAR heater’s fast recovery allowed cooking of six heavy loads of french fries versus five heavy loads of an equivalent tubular or a 20 percent capacity improvement (see below).

Reduced Watt DensityFlat tubular heaters can be operated at a higher watt density than a round tubular heating element without in-creasing the sheath temperature. Flat tubular heaters also allow more wattage into the application at the same watt density with a shorter heating element. Both types of heat-ers can have the same wattage, but the flat tubular will operate at a lower sheath temperature than the round tubular. In tests conducted to demonstrate this phenomenon, both heater types had a watt density of 30 and were im-mersed in a light liquid shortening. The flat tubular element heated the oil faster from ambient temperature than the round tubular. At 149°C (300°F), the flat tubular element heated the oil to temperature in 11 minutes where as the round tubular took 18 minutes. Plus, the flat tubular heater’s average sheath temperature was 10°C (50°F) lower than the round tubular.

Customizable, Easy to InstallFIREBAR can be wired 3-phase, mak-ing installation easier and cheaper while reducing the size of the heating assembly. FIREBAR heating elements can be formed into virtually any shape for an immersion application. This flat tubular heater can be configured with a variety of wattage and voltage rat-ings, terminations, sheath materials and mounting options to satisfy the most demanding foodservice applica-tions. The FIREBAR is typically con-structed with epoxy or silicone seals to combat moisture contamination from environmental kitchen conditions.Roly Juliano is a global applied ther-mal expert focused on Asia for Wat-low.

S ince 1980 Ideo Tecnica designs and produces complete installations

and equipment for confectionery industry, particularly for chocolate production.The family owned company has grown over the years by improving its quality through more and more qualified staff and continued invest-ments in automatic machines for mechanical and carpentry manu-factures.This development and its experience at complete disposal of customers, they ensure an optimal realization and solution for any kind of pro-duction needs, starting from cocoa beans up to finished product includ-ing all the production phases: clean-ing, roasting, chopping, conching, melting, mixing, refining, storing, transferring, tempering, moulding, cooling and packing with a com-pletely MADE IN ITALY production. Our collection includes cocoa beans processing lines, conching, melters, mixers, refining lines with balls mills, pumps, technological

pipelines, automatic continuous tempering machines, dosing ma-chines, drops lines, moulding lines, enrobing lines, coating pan ma-chines, cooling tunnels, decorating machines, storing tanks, cookers, aligner feeders.Ideo Tecnica has also got a good ability in construction and assem-bly of technological heated pipe-lines, double-casing stainless steel AISI 304, to allow the transfer of products. Starting from cocoa beans, the IB25 processing line is suitable for chocolate production as well as dry fruits processing too. It is composed by a separate processing units from roasting up to storing. First step is roasting and chopping process (infrared roaster with cool-ing unit and aspirator). Cocoa beans are roasted with in-frared lamps method in order to re-duce as much as possible the bac-teriological charge of the product itself . Its capacity is from 9 to 25 kg/h according to the inlet product and recipe. After the roasting cycle,

product is automatically discharged into the cooling unit, which has got the function of cleaner as well for dry fruits like hazelnuts, etc. Unloading manually the cooled co-coa beans, they will be charged into the loading hopper of the chopping machine for their dicing and clean-ing. Skins will be aspired by the as-pirator for leaving the three cuts of cocoa nibs completely cleaned.Cocoa mass will be produced with the pre-refining mill CBM/5 with a finesse of 80/120 micron ready to be loaded into the conching ma-chine CR150 of the DECA 20 auto-matic refining line. Once conched, according to its quality, the other ingredients of the final recipe (sugar, cocoa butter, milk powder, etc) will be added for the mixing cycle and they will be au-tomatically loaded into the balls mill SFERA 20R for each refining cycle by 20 kg. Product will be then discharged into a vibrating filter for an additional filtering of the product before its stocking into the storing tank ID-TK

300.Once obtained cocoa mass, vari-ous productions could be applied for any kind of desired product like chocolate or substitutes with the AUTOMATIC PREPARATION LINE, composed by two melter-mixers ANDE 1000, a conching machine CR1000 with its storing tank for the direct supply of the refining units: two balls mills SFERA 150 dedicated to milk and dark choco-late production and one DECA 150 automatic refining line dedicate to white chocolate one. The complete installation is managed by a main panel control in any step of produc-tion from conching to storing the final product into the dedicated tank.A parallel production could be ef-fected with the CREAM ID 150 LINE, an automatic line for preparation, crystallization, aromatization and packaging of spreadable creams. The preparation process is effected by the REFINING DECA 150 line with an overall capacity of 600 kg composed by a melter-mixer ANDE 60S by 600 kg, a balls mill SFERA

150 by 150 kg, lecithin dosing tank and a main panel control with touch screen and Siemens plc for the management and control of the complete line and production.The spreadable cream will be au-tomatically discharged into a stor-

ing tank before going into the con-tinuous tempering machine ID-VT 250 for the crystallization process. Through the tempering process, the structure of the cream by itself will be stabilized for the following pro-cessing step.Aromatization of cream is possi-

ble through the additional mixer in which you can add inclusions of other ingredients like small pieces of biscuits, dry fruits, cornet or nou-gat, etc for making the spreadable cream absolutely special and per-sonalized.

Finally, it will be packed into the de-sired pots of different sizes with the semi-automatic filling and capping unit ID-RT600Production capacity of our ma-chines mainly starts from 20 kg/h, through 50, 150 kg/h up to 250 kg/h for single machine and auto-



matic lines.For DECA refining automatic lines, production can vary in accordance with raw materials and percentage used. They have been designed for production of pure chocolate or substitutes, spreadable creams, hazelnut, pistachio and almond paste, with minimum percentage of fat material of 28-30%, and 32-34% for pure chocolate. They could be composed by a mixer ANDE or a conching machine CR according to the production to be performed: if you want to produce pure chocolate from cocoa liquor, a conching machine CR is needed with mixing function as well after conching. If you want to produce substitutes, spreadable creams, etc., the line will be composed with a mixer ANDE for melting fats and for mixing solid ingredients to be refined.These automatic compact lines, as well as the single balls mills, they allow a remarkably flexibility in pro-duction, easily cleanable, low ener-gy consumption and with closed wa-ter circuit for heating and cooling.The DECA 50 automatic line is com-posed by a melter-mixer ANDE30S, balls mill SFERA 50, lecithin dos-ing tank, balls mill cooling unit and main panel control for the manage-ment of the whole line. Its overall capacity is of 300 kg with refining cycle by 50 kg. These lines could be completed by an automatic discharging of the product into a

storing tank, ID-TK 300 which has got two functions: keeping the product at right temperature or aromatizing it with solids inclusions with an addi-

tional recycling pump.Following step in the chocolate production is moulding process. These installations could be semi-

The empty moulds have to be placed by the operator on the heating and re-turning conveyor belt for making them running below the rotors dosing machine

for the dosing of chocolate into the moulds and the volumetric depositor

for the eventual solids inclusions. After vibrating on the conveyor belt, they will be brought into the cooling tunnel ICE 420 for the following demoulding of the choco-late from the moulds.



automatic or completely automatic according to production required. The semi-automatic ID-TRONIC 275 line has an overall capacity of 100-150 kg/h for the production of full chocolate including a volumetric depositor for solids inclusion. Alongwith moulding process, enrob-ing one is applied for the produc-tion of dragées or coated rice cakes or biscuits ect. With the complete coating unit ID-BASS 80 it is possible to produce various products like pralines and dragées, for enrobing various prod-ucts like hazelnuts, almonds, pis-tachios, pine nuts, coffee beans, cereals, sultana, etc. Ideal for medium productions, it is

completely realized in stainless steel AISI 304.

F ully committed to fresh cheeseKingmar originated from

the JH-Group which is located in Holland and specialising in metal and machine construction (for fur-ther information, see www.jurry-hekkingmetaal.nl). Based on many years of experience with machines for fresh cheese production, King-mar has been founded as a new brand. Jurry Hekking, the owner of Kingmar, says: “Of course there are machines for producing and processing fresh cheese. Unfortu-nately, most of them are not espe-cially designed for it. Kingmar is dif-ferent, because it takes care of the product´s fragility.”

Very product- and user-friendlyAll Kingmar machines have been extensively tested by experienced cheese manufacturers concerning their ease of use and functionality. Wherever necessary, adjustments have been executed. This ensures that Kingmar machines are, in the end, a real big improvement in com-parison to current systems. Another major advantage of Kingmar is that a complete system is purchased. Once bought, there won´t be any

surprises after installation and the production can start right away. The com-plete range can be used in combination with other ma-chines or on its own.

Kingmar filter pressThe Kingmar filter press is a special system to produce fresh cheese in a so-called “hang up” way by using filter press bags. As soon as the bags are filled with the product, the side walls of the press slowly move towards each other. The percentage of dry matter de-termines the required time. Being built of stainless steel, the machine is very robust and offers a powerful operating system.

More continuity and efficiencyThe bags can be filled either manu-ally or semi-automatically. In that case, the filling will be even more consistent. Also, the machine can be connected to CIP cleaning after-wards. Therefore, during the whole production process human hands are no longer required. This reduc-es the risk of contamination and saves labour. For this reason, the

semi-automatic filter press of Kingmar is an ideal solu-tion for manufacturers who aim to produce fresh cheese in a more ef-ficient and consistent way.

Kingmar washerAfter emptying, the filter press bags can be easily cleaned with the King-mar washer. This industrial ma-chine is especially manufactured for a large number of bags to be cleaned and disinfected in an effi-cient and quick manner. The wash-

Kingmar. The specialisT for fresh cheese machines.Many dairies provide fresh cheese in their product range. The market is growing steadily, but the machines lagged behind for a long time until the foundation of Kingmar. The Dutch company makes its mark by developing and manu-facturing machines and production lines purpose-built for fresh cheese. The emphasis is set on a good cost-performance ratio in terms of low investment and low maintenance cost for powerful machines.

ing drum is designed for preserving the life-time of the filter press bags. For ease of use, the washing pro-grams can be individually compiled. All in all, the Kingmar washer is an indispensable machine for hygienic production.

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

Kingmar moulding machineThe Kingmar moulding machine is definitely a very unique machine

due to the fact that it is able to cre-ate any shape required. The fun-nel drain provides beautiful, well-stocked products. As a result, all of them have an equal size and weight. The transportation unit forwards them immediately, so that they just need to be packed up. The machine includes various shapes and it is also possible to fill the fresh cheese products in an individual way. Of course, the structure of the fresh cheese is being preserved during the whole process.

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

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

M ini Motor’s daily commit-ment is giving substance to the values that have

always been the background of its activity; high-quality production and absolutely precise operativity, in or-der to offer the highest efficiency of its geared motors.Precision is the very core of Mini Motor’s latest choice to grant the highest quality parameters in gears grinding; to this regard, the compa-ny has recorded real “doubling” by adopting an automatic Studer ma-chine.Mini Motor and Studer, uncompro-mised precision.

This second rectification unit is branded as S22, and it is for high production. Together with Studer

S242, already running on Mini Mo-tor’s premises for long time, it ex-tends the concept of “production platform”. In fact, the new machine can per-form both traditional cylindrical rec-tification, and HSP rectification and threading of other shape.

It proves to be ideal for a high-qual-ity and highly flexible production, as Mini Motor’s is.On occasion of the renewed coop-eration with Studer, Mini Motor has also highly contributed to providing S22 with further automatic func-tion which enables the rectification directly in line (this operation used to be performed manually) of all the gears coming from thermal treat-ments before their undergoing cy-

lindrical rectification. This advance-ment stands as Mini Motor’s further step on towards closer interaction between process automation and precision work.

Mini Motor, the guarantee of a fully inhouse production In confirming its trust to Swiss brand Studer, Mini Motor intends to keep its entire pro-duction cycle in home: engineering, manufacturing, test and start-up. Moreover, in a period of growth when Mini Motor is dealing with remarka-ble increase of production volumes, combining with increasing diversifi-cation of requirements, the addition of a new rectification unit will en-able to grant higher promptness and speed in delivery regardless of the kind of order.

Mini Motor “doubles” its precision.For the second time the company has adopted a studer automatic machine for the rectification of its gears.

ADDED APPLICATION ACCURACY WITH TNA’S NEW OIL SPRAYING SYSTEMtna, the global leader in packaging and processing solutions, has laun-ched a new main line spray system which delivers optimum coverage and flavour adhesion. The tna intelli-flav® CLO 3 is a cutting-edge closed loop oiler (CLO) suitable for use across a range of industries where it delivers highly accurate and concise oil appli-cation in tumble drums for product flavourings and other uses.The latest in the tna intelli-flav® CLO series of closed loop oil sprayers, the tna intelli-flav® CLO 3 builds on the successful design of previous CLO systems but now includes additional features and improvements to ensure customers obtain the most consistent seasoning application in the industry with an extended product life. These combine to produce a sleeker, more hygienic and more operator-friendly main line system which provides exceptional accuracy in application on salty, baked and extruded snacks as well as on nuts, biscuits, crackers and pet food.Suitable for main line seasoning in particular, the tna intelli-flav® CLO 3 uses coriolis mass flow measurement and a closed feedback loop. Its revo-lutionary technology also allows for a variety of application rates by increa-sing the number of spray guns. Com-bined, this ensures that the sprayed

liquid meets the target requirement even when levels fluctuate to provide the most consistent, even oil covera-ge available in the market today. This regular, even coverage then enables highly accurate seasoning adheren-ce. In addition, the tna intelli-flav® CLO 3 is the only oiling system in the world to offer an air filtration system which ensures 99.9% of the facili-ty air is clean and completely dry as moisture can dramatically reduce product shelf life. The tna intelli-flav® CLO 3 also uses FQT spray gun air atomising and airless nozzles to meet any required range from 6kg/hr to 250kg/hr. And while highly technical in its capabilities, the tna intelli-flav® CLO 3 is easy to use. Operators can simply choose a recipe and the sy-stem can be set to go. Commenting

on this exciting launch, David Wool-lard, seasoning group sales manager – tna, said: “Manufacturers are loo-king to maximise efficiencies and ROI throughout their production proces-ses and reducing raw material costs is a key way they can achieve this. In snacks manufacturing, for example, oil is often one of their highest finan-cial outlays. The tna intelli-flav® CLO 3 offers a new and unique spraying sy-stem which enables them to not just control the levels of oil application for optimum product quality but also en-sure what is sprayed is applied in an accurate way, exactly where it should be. Ideal for main line seasoning, the tna intelli-flav® CLO 3 also has appli-cations for ‘on-machine systems’ too. It is a valuable addition to our leading tna intelli-flav® seasoning range.”

exhibitions meetings conferences

T he bakery chain is increas-ing its space at SIGEP and the 2015 edition, at Rimini

Fiera from 17th to 21st January, with the simultaneous staging of A.B. TECH EXPO will confirm its role as the only expo event in Europe able to bring together the entire production and distribution chain along with artisan confectionery and quality coffee.Three more halls (D5, D7 and B7) and two connecting halls (B5-D5 and B7-D7) will highlight the new business perspective for enterpris-es, which is now more than just a trend, i.e. that of addressing multi-function venues in which the sale of bread is alternated with serving breakfasts, snacks and aperitifs… and is constantly evolving.Rimini Fiera business unit manager Patrizia Cecchi explains, “This is the reason it is necessary to establish a format that ensures better cover-age of the new perspective. This is why we are talking about the ‘bakery sector’. At the expo there will be companies that are the key players of the artisan and semi-in-dustrial productive process, those that realize sales outlets and others that widen the bakery trade’s range with their products. This has created the perfect terrain for integration with the fast food world and therefore with RHEX, our expo on catering for eating out. This combination enables to create

interesting business prospects.”No other expo in the world - consid-ering SIGEP, A.B.TECH EXPO and RHEX together - is able to propose an insight on this business dynamism, already widespread everywhere. So Rimini Fiera will be the site of the bread battle: Italy’s “ciabatta” is tastier and highlights fillings better than France’s “baguette”. The bat-tle will be held in “Bread in the City” the international contest staged at A.B.TECH EXPO with eight interna-tional teams, 16 contestants and a panel that will judges the world’s bread specialities.Bakery Events will host numerous important events for the bakery

world (in Hall D7). These will include the “Bread Talent Show”, a contest in which professionals will propose their innovations in a video. Before the expo, participants will take part in selection heats, and the remain-ing finalists will fight it out to win a trip to Shanghai offered by Lesaf-fre. For information, write to [email protected]. There will also be “Sartoria” workshops (inno-vative packaging), “Bottega” (new trends in bread stores), “Focacce-ria” (a workshop for making bakery specialities) and “Officina” (demos of semi-industrial workshops with machinery for making la typical products).

product down to packaging, preser-vation and sale, Dairytech offers a unique, comprehensive overview of the latest manufacturing and pro-cessing technology in the industry.

› Fruit Innovation – the newly born exhibition, organized by Fiera Milano and Ipack-Ima spa, dedi-cated to Product Innovation, Tech-nologies and Services for the Fruit & Vegetables Industry (20-22 May, 2015) is the answer to the demand for innovation and internationaliza-tion in the fruit & vegetable supply chain. It’s a winning combination of products and technology bringing increased visibility to cutting-edge solutions.

The synergy with “EXPO 2015” and the focus on sustainabilityTo top off this extraordinary event, the shows will be held in conjunc-tion with the EXPO Milano 2015, the Universal exposition running from May 1 to October 31, 2015, whose grounds adjoin the Fieramilano ex-hibition complex. Buyers will have the unique chance to visit IPACK-IMA 2015 plus the 143 national and thematic pavilions.“Food Processing & packaging in-novation for a sustainable devel-opment” is the central theme of IPACK-IMA 2015 and will be devel-oped – in concordance with “Feed the planet. Energy for life” – (the theme of the Expo 2015) - through an international convention sched-uled on May 20th 2015 and organ-ized in partnership with UNIDO and the UN Food Agencies. The main issue under discussion is sustainability, the leitmotiv of all side events to the 2015 shows. This is the third edition of IPACK-IMA to enjoy the prestigious partnership with the UN, which started in 2009 with the convention “More technol-ogy, safety & quality, less hunger” followed in 2012 by the interna-tional symposium “Enhancing Food Safety and Food Security in African

Countries. Packaging & Processing Technologies from the Farm’s Gate to the Consumer Table”.

The ChairmanshipFollowing a tradition of prominent Chairmen who are also key figures in the industries represented at the show, IPACK-IMA’s Chairmen for 2015 is Marco Pedroni, Chair-man of Coop Italia (the largest re-tail chain in Italy, with a turnover of 13,1 Bln Euros, and a 19% market share), following Alberto Bauli in 2009 and Paolo Barilla in 2012.Mr Pedroni’s chairmanship has strong implications emphasizing IPACK-IMA’s synergy with the EXPO 2015 as the two events are going to be held together. COOP Italia is in fact partner of the EXPO in the ‘Fu-ture Food Disctrict’ thematic area, with the project ‘SUPERMARKET FOR THE FUTURE’.

IPACK-IMA and co-located shows:the entire supply chain on displayThe opportunities created by the

next edition of IPACK-IMA will be further increased by the joint stag-ing with Converflex (converting, package printing and labelling) and Intralogistica Italia (organized in partnership with Deutsche Messe). This concentration of exhibitions creates a unique ensemble that is unparalleled in the world for its all-comprehensive display of intercon-nected sectors spanning across the entire supply chain. A one-off chance for visitors to get a complete overview of top-level tech-nology in four strategic, synergic in-dustries and to focus on three high-growth segments with IPACK-IMA’s vertical shows. IPACK-IMA and its co-located shows will take up nearly all of Fi-eramilano’s capacity. The global event is expected to bring 2,500 exhibitors and 100,000 visitors. Milan will be home to the world’s largest and most wide-ranging showcase in the fields of processing, packaging, converting, package printing and logistics.

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

World’s Leading F&B Processors to Explore MEASA Expansion Avenues and Regional Manufacturers to Source Business im-provement Tools at Dedicated Trade Event

GULFOOD MANUFACTURING TO PROVIDE GROWTH GATEWAY

gulfood FP 4/14.indd 3 26/09/14 10:31


“Internationally, the sector is seeing multi-billion dollar investments and Gulfood Manufacturing will help fa-cilitate and accelerate regional de-velopment. The fact the show will be the region’s largest-ever trade show launch speaks volumes about how international suppliers, producers and manufacturers in various seg-mented industry sectors view the burgeoning regional market.”As a vessel conceived to spur growth, Gulfood Manufacturing will leverage Dubai’s strategic position as a recognised manufacturing and logistics gateway between East and West and the primary re-export hub to emerging countries and econo-mies across MEASA.With GCC food imports forecast to reach US $ 53.1 billion by 2020 according to a report by the Econo-mist Intelligence Unit, Gulfood Man-ufacturing will reverse the ‘finished foods’ focus of February’s annual Gulfood showcase and, instead, highlight the region’s ripe business potential as a leading international manufacturing and processing hub. MEASA’s largest-ever, industry-spe-cific Hosted Buyer Programme will be a key asset in turning promise into product.Designed to enable large multina-tional food producers to explore
