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 5/13.indd 3 29/11/13 10.47


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 5/13.indd 4 29/11/13 10.47


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.

B y introducing “components for processing and packaging”, Messe Düsseldorf is extending its offering in relation to interpack 2014. The event

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

P acko was contacted by a Swiss cheese dairy about this problem and could of-

fer a solution by developing a new centrifugal pump. The new centrifu-gal pump has a volute pump casing and a special closed impeller and is pumping the curd without any damage. The convincing results: an improved quality of the rounds of cheese and higher profits for the cheese dairy.

PUMP TYPESThe pumping of curd is mostly executed with rotary lobe pumps or centrifugal pumps. Rotary lobe pumps have the advantage that they turn slowly and damage very little. Their disadvantage is that they are fairly expensive, (especially for high flows, higher than 50 m³/h) and moreover they need a sepa-rate CIP pump (CIP = cleaning in place). The centrifugal pumps that are used until now mostly have a

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

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

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

PAKO INOX FP 5/13.indd 3 28/11/13 11.58


(fig. 2). Both pumps have the same duty point: 60m³/h on 6 m head.

Figures 3 and 4 show the velocities inside both pumps. Figure 3 shows that the velocities in the pump with recessed impeller and round pump casing are much higher than the pump with closed impeller and vo-lute (fig. 4). The red zones are velo-cities higher than 15 m/s and the blue areas are dead zones where the fluid is nearly standing still. The-se high differences in velocity crea-te high turbulence and loss of effi-ciency, which is a major contributor to the creation of “cheese fines”. The Packo-pump in figure 4 shows no red or yellow zones and even no blue areas. The velocities in the impeller and the pump casing are much lower and there are no dead areas. This results in less turbulen-ce and a much higher efficiency, si-gnificantly reducing the potential to damage the curd.

PRACTICAL TESTPacko supplied one of the new pum-ps for testing in the installation. The results and parameters were accu-rately monitored during a two month trial period and followed up so that every round of cheese could be as-signed to a determined production. The result was exactly the same as the calculations predicted in the stu-dy. The pumping of the curd with the new design pump proved to be much steadier than with the vortex pump: no vibrations or pump sounds were

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

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

A bsolute safety Protec Sor-ting Equipment’s techno-logical commitment is im-

bued in efficient machines offering many advantages.The company Protec was founded in 1990 and has become a leader in the design and production of dual-vision sorting machines for the food industry.Protec has always invested in ideas and resources and the over 3000 plants installed worldwide are evi-

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

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

Over 20 years old, Italian sorting equipment company Protec has made its mark worldwide. With Its research and development department at its core, the company continues to innovate, by his President & Owner Mr. Luigi Sandei

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

1990 in the sector for optically sen-sing sorters. The x-tri line consists of a destemmer, a vibrating mat for even distribution and an optical unit. Belt elevators may be needed to con-nect between different levels.How x-tri functions: the fruit exiting the destemmer is distributed on the vibrating mat, in preparation for feeding the optical unit. The optical sensor recognises the different defects (stalks, leaves, leaf stems, insects and foreign mat-ter) and expels them using a jet of air. The good produce is discharged directly for subsequent processing

into the pressing unit. The optical system also makes it possible to re-cognise less ripe fruit (having a dif-ferent colour), which can also be ex-pelled along with the other defects. The defects to be rejected can be programmed using a touch screen. The x-tri line can handle up to ap-proximately 15 t/hr of grapes. The capacity depends on a number of factors, such as the type of grape, the degree of ripeness, the number of defects, etc. For more informa-tion, please to contact: Mr. Rocco Sandei (sales manager) [email protected]

extremely efficient manner - ranging from raw material reception through finished products.See for yourself the benefits you can gain from the PCS 7 with Dairy Fun-ctional Toolset tailored specifically to dairy operations, and the Advanced Process Functions (APF) engineering tool, a cross-industry functional en-hancement.The integrated process control sy-stem specifically for your industryThe SIMATIC PCS 7 and the dairy-specific software concept let you carry out all the standard functions of dairy operations efficiently and throughout the complete process.

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

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

gement system. Together they moni-tor all the specifics relating to tanks and mixers – physical parameters, contents, all releases,relevant status information And CIP requirements.Traceable material movementsThe Archive Manager for SIMATIC PCS 7 with Dairy Functional Toolset records each individual material mo-vement within the systems. When a transfer begins, all relevant informa-tion about the source - starting time, quantity reference value or destina-tion - is stored in the user archive. At the end, the finishing time, quantity required and status are also stored. The process visualization allows mo-nitoring and tracking of the corre-sponding material movements at all times. Host IT systems can also use the interfaces of SIMATIC PCS 7 to access this data.The same quality worldwideIf you want to bring innovative pro-ducts to the market more quickly, then you must ensure consistent pro-duct specifications worldwide and at all times. The Interspec module acts as a complete product specification database for the company as a who-le and creates ideal prerequisites for intelligent Product Lifecycle Manage-ment. It also enables product speci-fications to be exchanged and stan-dardized on a global basis.

Everything for the dairy industryMilk quality is tested and sorted; the milk undergoes a gentle treatment and an equally gentle transport pro-cess; then intermediate products are prepared for possible further proces-sing. And of course, quality is guaran-teed at every stage.We supply you with the appropriate range of automation products, sy-stems and solutions for all proces-sing steps.

Achieving goals with perfectly coordinated processesWhether it’s milk, cream, butter, soured milk and yogurt, cream che-ese and rennet cheese or concen-

trates and powders, you have to co-ordinate a large number of process steps en route to the end product. These include heating and cooling, adding cultures, homogenizing and fermenting. You also have to meet numerous simultaneous require-ments, which include safe product quality, production optimization, and efficient process line utilization.Throughout all of these responsi-bilities, we will be there to support you with our solutions that help you achieve your goals safely.Our SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system and software tools with pre-defined functions provide you with processes that seamlessly integrate and operate economically. MES so-lutions also use dairy-specific engi-neering tools and support you with process expertise requiring minimal engineering effort. Further modules complete the range of offerings - from high-speed local area networks to high-end process instrumenta-tion.These allow us to provide you with solutions using optimally coordina-ted components, and allow you to react perfectly to unanticipated in-cidents and deal efficiently with all production challenges.

Flexible cleaning-in-place (CIP) system for perfectly clean dai-ry operationsHygiene and cleanliness are absolu-tely essential for ensuring your dai-ry products only contain what they should - and this applies throughout the entire production chain. We have the perfect answer to this challenge with our solution for your CIP system automation.Since CIP systems often vary great-ly in practice, our flexible CIP system is a standardized software solution that supports easy creation of indi-vidual cleaning programs, automatic implementation, and flexible chan-ges as needed.Your operations staff can define rele-vant program sequences quickly and

easily, and without any programming knowledge. Cleaning types that are typical for dairies and cheese ma-kers are stored in the Online Engine-ering Tool, enabling quick processing during operation. This added benefit pays off throughout the complete life cycle of your CIP system for dairy.With precise dosing and capabilty for continuous optimization, a flexible CIP system will achieve optimal cle-aning and disinfection while saving time and minimizing consumption of cleaning materials.These capabilities are integrated into Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 system, which means our flexible CIP system for dairy can deliver significant cost savings of between 20 and 30%.

Cut costs with Optimized Packaging LineThe filling plant and packaging de-partment represent high cost factors on the path to ready-to-deliver dairy packaging. This results from hetero-geneous and isolated solutions.We offer an efficient alternative with our Optimized Packaging Line, the integrated automation solution for dairy filling and packaging lines and machines.The Siemens Optimized Packaging Line integrates filling and packaging systems in a common automation and communication standard. Our packaging standardization and inte-gration of individual machines deli-vers cost- and energy-savings throu-ghout the entire production line.Integration risks are lower and allow the use of scalable production data acquisition and evaluation systems from Optimized Packaging Line like line overview, diagnostics, OEE, tra-cking and tracing, and energy recor-ding and management. Moreover, the costs of training, operation, and servicing can be reduced significan-tly with Optimized Packaging Line. Additionally, dairy packaging line ef-ficiency, productivity, and availability during operation are all noticeably improved.

O n several occasions, the European Dairy Associa-tion (EDA) has voiced se-

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

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

and modify rules governing the use of intervention to:› Ensure that support prices can be adjusted to take into account rele-vant factors› Reassure the market that inter-vention will not be exploited to cre-ate artificially high support prices.This system would not prejudice the ability of the Commission to take action in response to emergencysituations. Also, an appropriate in-tervention support price for the fu-ture would need to be determined by the Commission via exhaustive econometric analysis.“We feel that supporting and streng-thening the safety net will equip the EU with a cost effective instrument for addressing price volatility whilst still giving all stakeholders confi-dence to expand and take advanta-ge of the growing global demand for high quality dairy products,” con-cludes Joop Kleibeuker, Secretary-General of EDA.

CAP REFORM: DAIRY INDUSTRY FAVOURS INTERVENTIONPURCHASING SYSTEM AS PART OF AN EFFECTIVE AND COSTNEUTRAL SAFETY NETIn view of the current ‘trilogue’ discussions, the European dairy industry puts forward an effective safety net as an alterna-tive to any form of supply management. This safety net should primarily operate through an intervention purchasing system, which has already proved itself to be effective and cost neutral to the EU budget in the past. EDA urges therefore the negotia-tors in the trilogue to make the appropriate modifications to the safety net to make this a viable measure against extreme price volatility.

E xperts for freezing solutions from GEA Refrigeration North America will be on hand at

PROCESS EXPO 2013 to discuss the advantages of carton, spiral, tunnel, and impingement freezer solutions for applications in the food and beverage industry. In addition, other GEA profes-sionals will be available to introduce visitors to the company’s broader pro-duct line – including ice systems, chil-lers, screw and piston compressors, compressor packages, custom-engi-neered systems, controls, and more.One of the most exciting trends is fa-ster freezing for increased product quality. If the surface of the product is frozen very quickly, moisture is captured in-side. In addition, fast freezing avoids formation of large ice crystals, whe-reas slowly frozen foods lose more moisture while thawing. These are

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

apply variable retention times to achie-ve high quality in the freezing process without wasting time and energy.Another versatile solution is the GEA Maxi-Stack spiral freezer. It offers special benefits when a greater throu-ghput of frozen products is desired on a given footprint – or when compact equipment dimensions are specified as criteria for the production floor.For more details about these freezers, please see the following pages of our press release. Faster freezing of flat foodproducts High-velocity freezers (HVF) from GEA Refrigeration Technologies, based on impingement technology, enable the freezing of hamburger patties and other flat food products, as well as crust freezing of a wide range of food products. The throughput time is shorter than with conventional im-pingement systems. These innovative HVF systems from GEA utilize special high-velocity air nozzles, which effec-tively enable fast penetration of the insulating boundary layer of the goods to be frozen, and fast reduction of the temperature at the outer layer.The result is fast freezing of the pro-duct surface. Since the freezing pro-cess takes place faster than with conventional freezers, this minimizes dehydration losses of the food pro-ducts. The benefits to food processors include higher food quality, less cellu-lar damage, longer shelf life, shorter freezing time, 10 to 15 % greater pro-duction capacity, and greater yields – all with less energy consumption. With its HVF, GEA has raised the concept of

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

Chilling and freezing packaged goods inlineWith its two series I-SRT and I-VRT, GEA Refrigeration Technologies offers two effective solutions for chilling or freezing of packaged foods. These sy-stems enable efficient cooling down to required temperatures of food in car-tons, in shrink film, or in plastic packa-ges. These systems are designed for uninterrupted operation and are easily integrated into plant logistics systems, since they are fed from conveyor belts. This makes intermediate storage un-necessary, and the chilling or freezing process fits seamlessly between pro-cessing and packaging stages.Systems in the I-SRT series are de-signed for goods with fixed retention times (SRT = single retention time). Processing takes place sequentially according to the first-in, first-out prin-ciple. After the system accepts the packa-ges from the conveyor belt, the SRT unit places them automatically on an empty placement tray, and then po-sitions them into the chilling stream of air. The process assures sufficient interval to the adjacent trays, to allow effective heat transfer. One positive result is short retention times. After completion of the retention time, the goods are gently transferred to a con-veyor belt, where they pass to palleti-zing and to consignment storage. The I-SRT systems can be designed for ou-tput of 1,400 to 13,600 kg/h.The I-VRT systems (VRT = variable single retention time) enable chilling or freezing of various products alter-natively, since they allow variable re-tention times. They can be effectively used, for example, for food products of various weights or forms. When the

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

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

stainless steel case as an option. All these design features enable the GEA Maxi-Stack to be cleaned efficiently by a CIP system (clean-in-place). The eva-porator is manufactured in-house with stainless steel tubes and with 0.6 mm aluminum fins.GEA Maxi-Stack offers special bene-fits when increased throughput of frozen products is desired on a given equipment footprint – or when com-pact building dimensions are being implemented for the production flo-or. The option of a snow-removal sy-stem allows extended operating time between interruptions for defrosting. The recirculating CIP option offers hi-ghly efficient cleaning and saves wa-ter and detergent.

GEA carton chillers and freezers are desi-gned and available for fixed or variable retention times. The picture shows an internal view of the GEA I-VRT. Uptake and output sections with conveyor belts enable seamless integration of the units into plant conveyor systems.

With its GEA Maxi-Stack model, GEA Refrigeration Technologies offers an extremely compact spiral freezer for output up to ap-

prox. 3,500 kg/h.

A uf der PROCESS EXPO 2013 erläutern Froster-Experten der GEA Refrigeration North

America die Vorzüge der GEA Karton-, Spiral-, Tunnel- und Impingement-Fro-ster beim Einsatz in der Nahrungsmitte-lindustrie. Außerdem stehen Fachleute bereit, um dem Publikum weitere Pro-dukte aus dem breiten Portfolio des Unternehmens zu erläutern, etwa Ei-smaschinen, Flüssigkeitskühlsätze, Schrauben- und Kolbenkompressoren, Kompressor-Packages, kundenspezi-fische Systeme und zum Beispiel die Regelungstechnik.Zu den wichtigen Trends gehört das schnelle Frosten zugunsten einer verbesserten Produktqualität. Wenn die Produktoberfläche in kurzer Zeit gefriert, wird die Feuchtigkeit im Pro-dukt eingeschlossen. Ein schneller Ge-frierprozess verhindert außerdem die Bildung großer Eiskristalle – langsam gefrorene Lebensmittel hingegen ver-lieren beim Auftauen mehr Flüssigkeit. Aus diesem Grund hat GEA Refrigera-tion Technologies die Impingement-Technologie verfeinert. Das Ergebnis ist der GEA High Velocity Freezer mit einem verbesserten Düsendesign. Der Froster kann Hamburger Patties, dün-ne Fischfilets, Shrimps und viele wei-tere flache Produkte gefrieren. Außer zum Tiefgefrieren des kompletten Pro-dukts werden Impingement-Froster wie dieser auch für das sogenannte Crust Freezing eingesetzt. Hierbei geht es nicht um das Durchfrieren bis zum Pro-duktkern, sondern um eine hart gefro-rene Produktoberfläche. Sie bietet Vor-teile, wenn Fleisch in dünne Scheiben geschnitten werden soll.Bei vielen Anwendungen spielt Flexibi-lität eine wichtige Rolle, zum Beispiel beim Gefrieren von Fertiggerichten,

verpackten Lebensmitteln und vielem mehr. Für solche Anwendungen ist es von Vorteil, wenn Froster je nach Produkteigenschaften und -gewicht verschiedene Verweilzeiten ermögli-chen – so wie die GEA Kartonfroster I-VRT. Sie erlauben unterschiedliche Verweilzeiten und gestatten so einen hochwertigen Gefrierprozess ohne unnötigen Zeit- und Energieaufwand.Eine andere vielseitige Frosterlösung ist der Spiralfroster GEA Maxi-Stack. Er ist besonders von Vorteil, wenn bei gegebener Stellfläche ein höherer Dur-chsatz an Gefriergut angestrebt wird oder kompakte Gebäudeabmessun-gen zu den Planungskriterien der Pro-duktionshalle gehören.Eine ausführlichere Beschreibung die-ser Froster finden Sie auf den Folgesei-ten dieser Pressemappe. Flache Waren schneller FrostenDer Hochgeschwindigkeitsfroster HVF

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

HVF das Konzept des Impingement-Verfahrens auf eine neue Leistungse-bene gehoben und dabei die typi-schen Hygienemerkmale, zum Beispiel vollverschweißte Nähte und einen abschüssigen Boden, eingebracht. Der GEA Froster HVF ist mit einem Förder-band oder optional mit zwei in der Ge-schwindigkeit getrennt einstellbaren Förderbändern lieferbar.

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

ermöglichen unterschiedliche Verweil-zeiten. So lassen sich zum Beispiel Produkte unterschiedlichen Gewichts oder Form verarbeiten. Wenn das Pro-dukt die Verweildauer erreicht hat, um die zuvor festgelegte Austrittstempe-raturprofil zu erzielen, wird der Einle-geboden entnommen und entladen. Auch hier sorgt ein Beschicken und En-tladen des Frosters mit Förderbändern für die leichte Integration in die inner-betriebliche Logistik. Die GEA I-VRT Fro-ster bzw. Kühler sind für Fördermen-gen von etwa 4.500 bis 41.000 kg pro Stunde erhältlich.

Mehr Gefrierleistung bei glei-cher StellflächeDer Spiralfroster GEA Maxi-Stack über-zeugt durch eine hohe Gefrierleistung bei kleiner Stellfläche. Die Froster sind für Gefrierleistungen bis zu etwa 3.500 kg/h (je nach Produkt) erhält-

lich. Möglich ist seine Kompaktheit aufgrund des selbststapelnden, pa-tentierten GEA Q-belt™-Förderbandes, denn es macht die bei anderen (Low-Tension-)Spiralfrostern eingesetzten Gleitschienen entbehrlich. Somit bietet der GEA Maxi-Stack bei iden-tischen Außenabmessungen mehr Bandfläche. GEA Maxi-Stack gibt es mit verschieden vielen Ebenen, so dass die Forster dem Gefriergut ange-passt werden können.GEA Maxi-Stack profitiert von den jüngsten Merkmalen der GEA Froster-Baureihen, was sich zum Beispiel in dem modularen, isolierten und vollver-schweißten Edelstahlboden widerspie-gelt, in dem verschweißten Edelstahl-Aufbau und dem optionalen, ebenfalls geschweißten Edelstahl-Gehäuse. Die-se Designeigenschaften ermöglichen eine effiziente Reinigung mit einem Clean-in-Place(CIP)-System. Der Ver-dampfer wird aus Edelstahlrohren und 0,6 mm dicken Aluminium-Lamellen von GEA selbst gefertigt.GEA Maxi-Stack ist besonders von Vor-teil, wenn bei gegebener Stellfläche ein höherer Durchsatz an Gefrier-gut angestrebt wird oder kompakte Gebäudeabmessungen zu den Pla-nungskriterien der Produktionshalle gehören. Optional ist ein Snow-Remo-val-System, das längere Betriebszei-ten zwischen den Entfrostungszyklen erlaubt. Außerdem ist ein optionales Clean-in-Place-System mit Recycling-Kreislauf erhältlich, das wirksam reinigt und aufgrund des Recycling-Kreislaufs sparsam mit Wasser und Reinigungsmittel umgeht.

GEA Kartonkühler bzw. -froster sind für feste oder variable Verweilzeiten (im Bild eine Innenansicht des GEA I-VRT) erhältlich und fügen sich dank der Ein- und Auslagerstrecken mit Förderband nahtlos in die betrieblichen Förderanla-gen ein.

Mit dem GEA Maxi-Stack bietet GEA Re-frigeration Techno-logies einen äußerst platzsparenden Spi-ralfroster für Gefrier-leistungen bis etwa 3.500 kg/h an.

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

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

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

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

W ithin the meat indu-stry the continuous analysis of fresh meat

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

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

- produce a consistently high product quality

- make the most efficient use of valua-ble raw materials

- improve product efficiency and redu-ce downtime.

The sample preparation step for a reproducible NIR analysis is simply

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

Analyzing raw meat Meat can be a very complex raw ma-terial where small changes in external impacts like animal nutrition can lead to large variation in the final meat quality. The consumer however ex-pects a consistent standard of quality of sausages and other meat products. For the producer it is therefore impor-

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

Monitoring the final product qualityIn Germany alone, there are more than 1500 different types of sausa-ges available in the shops, including fresh or fresh smoked, dry and cooked sausages. In addition a wide variation of hams is produced, including the fa-mous Black Forest ham. By law it is

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

Compositional analysis of rendered productsApproximately 40-50% of the weight of any slaughtered animal is not fit for

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

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

T etra Pak has recently laun-ched the Tetra Evero Asep-tic one–litre – the first asep-

tic carton bottle for milk. The new carton combines the easy handling and pouring of a bottle with the environmental and cost advantages of a carton. It is initially being aimed at the ambient white milk market, including non-oxygen sensitive enriched products, inclu-ding flavoured milk and cream.Unlike traditional carton materials, which are aseptically sterilised be-fore they are formed into shape, the Tetro Evero Aseptic is pre-formed and not flat-packed, meaning it re-quires an alternative approach.The majority of existing technolo-gies for sterilising performed sha-pes rely on a gas-condensation pro-cess. This process involves the gas condensing on the material surfa-ce, but this is known to be complex and difficult to control.

The Tetra Evero Aseptic, however, uses a new gas-phase sterilisa-tion technique which involves the cartons passing through a unique aseptic chamber in pairs where they are exposed to hydrogen pe-roxide. The gas comes into contact with the whole preformed packa-ge – inside and out, removing any contaminants that might have been present before entering the aseptic chamber. The cartons travel on steel belts during this production process. The use of steel belts is a highly hygie-nic alternative to using traditional plastic and PU conveyor systems. Avoiding the spread of contami-nants is imperative in belt techno-logy: steel belts are far easier to cle-an than their plastic counterparts and do not need to be lubricated in order to transmit power. This is im-portant because germs and poten-tially harmful bacteria are attracted

to dust generated by lubricant gre-ase, which can potentially contami-nate food or other products.Steele belts are not just available as flat conveyors, they can be custo-mised in many ways and offer novel and exciting solutions to a variety of complicated conveying problems. Belts can be perforated with com-plex patterns for timing, vacuum or dosing applications.Together, the steel belt technology and the new gas-phase sterilisation technique used in the production of the new Tetra Evero Aseptic have resulted in a highly effective means of commercial sterility – an inno-vative development which should now set the gold standard for the production of aseptic packaging across Europe and the rest of the world.For further information, visit www.tetrapak.com and www.belttechno-logies.co.uk

T he market of fruit juice is de-veloping quite rapidly and the share of NFC juices is

considerably increasing because of their high quality. In Europe and the US (but also in whole world) 100% juice (not from concentrate) category is showing a strong growth potential. Of particular importance, in this sector, are the chilled juice, fruit juices that are prepared directly from the fresh fruit and then are just chilled and filled or slightly 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…

NEWS IN SHORT IN SHORT

B uyer and manufacturer despite a global market and all the means of com-

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

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

European producers; it is instead the buyer’s veritable European branch-of-fice, offering him a thorough knowled-ge of the products in the various pro-duct categories, from the agricultural and food industry, to gift and tablewa-re, to FMCG. The BO thanks to its ex-perience can therefore select poten-tial suppliers, evaluate their reliability and soundness, and is in a position to evaluate effective respondence of the suppliers to their public image, so as to better orient the buyer. The BO is dedicated to serve the interest of its Clients offering an all-round servi-ce that ranges from planning buyers’ trips – including operations planning – to market research, in terms of sin-gling out the product and the quality-price ratio; accompanying buyers du-ring their visits to suppliers.

WHY DO I NEED A BUYING OFFICE?

FAMOR FP 5/13.indd 3 29/11/13 17.02


M ARKET AND PRODUCTRESEARCHESThe BO spends a great

deal of time with manufacturers, reviewing merchandised produced all over Italy. It also develops par-ticular “private label” lines which are geared to the individual needs of their Clients. This takes into con-sideration quality, price points re-quired and market research is the most important contribution and investment for our Clients.

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

PRICES AND BUYING POWERPricing policies greatly vary, accor-ding to the merchandise and geo-graphical areas. Thanks to its expe-rience the BO will guide the Buyer through this, obtaining from manu-

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

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

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

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

A BUYING OFFICE IN DETAILS

FAMOR FP 5/13.indd 4 29/11/13 17.02


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

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

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

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

CONFORMITY OF DOCUMENTS AND MERCHANDISE TO CU-STOMS REGULATIONThe BO will make sure that the go-ods are properly labeled according to the Client’s Country regulation. Also it makes sure that documents are correctly issued and that pa-cking is in line with International rules.

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

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

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

I n line with the philosophy established by the brothers who founded it, Filippo and

Francesco Pagani, the company has always been committed to pro-moting innovation while retaining its competitive edge and respec-ting individuals. This is the secret of Fratelli Pagani S.p.A., a company set up over a hundred years ago, with a focus on herbs and spices and the ability to grow a business based on tradition thanks to pro-fessionalism and good business instincts. Growth has been steady, building on food development and innovation, made possible thanks to the continued work of its in-house Research and Development laboratory, which is responsible for Quality Control, and is steered by seven experts and new techniques that are constantly being updated. The company has ambitious objec-tives, which it achieves thanks to the consistent, committed invol-vement of the shareholders, who span four generations, and to the ongoing professional development of its employees: this is why Fratelli Pagani S.p.A. is able to assess and anticipate its customers’ demands, guaranteeing the most beneficial and appropriate solutions, customi-sed to suit their needs.With these firm foundations, im-bued with innovation and excellen-ce, some twenty years ago Fratelli

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

lity of packaging materials and con-sistent quality. This area has grown, and now accounts for around 75% of the company’s turnover.Backed up by a strong infrastruc-ture, with around eighty employees working at the Italian head offices

We are already well underway to achieving this ambitious goal thanks to a range of ap-plications:› Cooked ham, injected and re-constituted products;› Mortadella;› Wurstel, Pariser, cooked sausa-ge with an incredibly smooth fil-

ling, smoked or unsmoked;› Dry salami and matured meats;› Sausages, Hamburgers, Fresh Meat preparations using traditio-nal mincing methods;› Ham, Speck and Whole and in-dividual Cuts;› Pagani Chef, for deli and meat speciality products.

spektieren, die unser Unternehmen ausmachen und es erneuern, so ha-ben es uns die Firmengründer, die Brüder Filippo und Francesco Paga-ni, gelehrt. Das ist das Geheimnis der Firma Fratelli Pagani SpA, die bereits seit über hundert Jahren im Bereich der Gewürze und Kräuter tätig ist und ihre dank des professio-nellen und unternehmerischen Ein-satzes erreichte Weiterentwicklung mit dem Respekt für die Tradition zu verbinden wusste. Ein konstantes Wachstum durch Entwicklung und Innovation in der Lebensmittelbran-

che, die auch durch das stetige En-gagement der für die Qualitätskon-trolle verantwortlichen internen Forschungs- und Entwicklungsabtei-lung ermöglicht wurde, die von sie-ben, sich ständig weiterbildenden Fachleuten und neuen Anwendung-stechnikern geleitet wird. Ehrgeizi-ge Ziele, die seit vier Generationen durch die direkte und ständige Be-teiligung der Eigentümer und die kontinuierliche berufliche Weiter-bildung der Mitarbeiter erreicht wer-den konnten. Dadurch kann Fratelli Pagani SpA die Kundenbedürfnisse verstehen und diese zeitnah erfül-len, sowie angemessene und ver-trauliche, individuelle Lösungen

anbieten. Basierend auf diesem gefestigtem Ausgangspunkt, der sich durch Innovation und Exzellenz auszeichnet, hat das Unternehmen Fratelli Pagani SpA vor etwa zwanzig Jahren beschlossen, seine Aktivität auf dem Gebiet der Aromen und funktionalen Inhaltsstoffe für die Lebensmittelindustrie dank seiner Spitzentechnologie auszubauen: kli-matisierte und entfeuchtete Räume, standardisierte Verarbeitungszei-ten, hochwertige Verpackungen, Beständigkeit bei den Qualitätsmer-kmalen der Waren. Es handelt sich um ein wachsendes Segment, mit dem die Firma heute rund 75% ihres Umsatzes erwirtschaftet.

in Milan and three subsidiaries in Romania, Slovenia and Croatia, plus a network of distributors in Europe, in 2004 Fratelli Pagani S.p.A. launched the ambitious Pa-gani Chef project, for ready-to-cook meat products: the initiative enjo-yed instant success, and continues to grow at an impressive rate. The goal is to offer customised tech-nical support to every customer, thanks to our network of technical sales representatives and a quick, efficient internal department offe-ring refresher courses to certain

customers using the latest techno-logy for ingredients and seasoning products designed to suit specific needs.Our strategy for future growth is based on three main areas: develo-ping the division dedicated to Fun-ctional Ingredients and Seasoning for medium and large companies in Italy, consolidating the Pagani Chef line, and third and most importan-tly, the concerted consolidation of our international expansion, which is set to represent an increasingly large proportion of the business in

the next few years.Our most impor-tant new products. Our products are already able to face the chal-lenges laid down by the markets. For example, in terms of functional proteins for specific uses, we have pork, poultry and beef whose ori-gins are guaranteed. Then there is the new Kutmix for Wurstel and our “kutter” products, together with our mixes for quick maturing salamis, mixes for cooked hams and “bars” for pre-sliced products, which hold the slices brilliantly, even when the-re is a low sodium content.

DER GESCHMACK DER ZUKUNFT



Fratelli Pagani SpA beschäftigt am italienischen Stammsitz in Mailand insgesamt etwa 80 Mitarbeiter und verfügt daneben über drei Auslan-dsniederlassungen in Rumänien, Slowenien und Kroatien sowie ein umfassendes Vertriebsnetz in Eu-ropa. 2004 hat das Unternehmen das ehrgeizige Projekt Pagani Chef

für küchenfertige Frischfleischspe-zialitäten ins Leben gerufen, eine ausgesprochen erfolgreiche Initiati-ve, die derzeit intensiv an Interesse gewinnt. Ziel ist eine individuelle techni-sche Kundenbetreuung, dank ei-nes Händler- und Technikernetzes und einem schnellen und effizien-

ten internen Service, im Rahmen dessen den Kunden auch Weiter-bildungsveranstaltungen zu den be-sten Technologien für Zutaten und Aromatisierung angeboten werden, um deren spezifische Bedürfnisse zu erfüllen.Die Wachstumsstrategie für die Zu-kunft basiert auf drei Hauptberei-chen: der Weiterentwicklung des Bereichs funktionale Zutaten und Aromen für mittelständische und große Unternehmen in Italien, der Weiterentwicklung der Linie Paga-ni Chef, aber auch einer entschei-denden Stärkung der Expansion auf den Auslandsmärkten, die in den kommenden Jahren einen im-mer größeren Prozentsatz des Ge-samtumsatzes ausmachen werden.Unsere wichtigsten NeuheitenSchon jetzt nehmen unsere Produkte die Herausforderung der Märkte an, wie zum Beispiel auf dem Gebiet der speziellen funktionellen Protei-ne, die spezifisch für die jeweiligen Verwendungszwecke sind: Schwein, Geflügel und Rindfleisch mit garan-tierter Herkunft. Oder die neuen Kutmix für Würstchen und andere Produkte, die mit dem „Kutter“ (ei-ner Art Fleischwolf) hergestellt wer-den, zusammen mit dem Mix für Salami mit schneller Reifung, dem Mix für Kochschinken und Aufsch-nittstangen mit einer ausgezeichne-ten Scheibenhaftung, auch bei Produkten mit niedrigem Natriumge-halt.

Dieses ehrgeizige Ziel wird be-reits heute für die verschiede-nen Herstellungsarten ange-wandt::› Kochschinken, injizierte und ge-presste ProdukteMortadella › Wiener Würstchen, Brühwurst, Brühwürste mit feiner Masse, geräuchert und ungeräuchert

T he NETZSCH Group grinding and fine grinding specialists announced a solid order

situation at mid-year and said that they are looking optimistically to the future. A lot of new developments and innovative optimizations of current systems are considered to be the main reasons for this self-confidence. Moreover, according to experts, the future-oriented coo-peration of NETZSCH Grinding and Dispersing with the British Malvern Instruments Ltd. could become a real sales engine.One of the most comprehensive optimizations of NETZSCH-CONDUX was the complete conceptual rede-sign of the CONDUX® impact mill.A lot of especially designed sy-stems, already equipped with the essential characteristics of the new mill concept, have been in opera-tion most successfully before they gave rise to start the development of CONDUX®. On the one hand, the redesigned version holds all the proven con-struction features of prior machi-ne generations, while on the other hand the engineers created an extremely flexible toolbox system around them. This concept brings the classical design specification in an appro-priate context with the demands of the operator. Mainly thanks to the new toolbox system, CONDUX® of-fers significantly more flexibility in product processing, compared to conventional universal rotor impact mills. NETZSCH-CONDUX refrains from the integration of unused fea-tures from the start, supplying only what the customer needs for his process.A further portfolio highlight is the recently completed and most in-novative Economic Dispersionizer

OMEGA®. The name stands for a continuously working system that uses a newly designed dispersing unit, also promising to set new standards regarding wear, energy and maintenance effort as well as heat emission.An optimum combination of the factors turbulence, cavation and shearing forces plays a vital role in this process. According to sta-tement of the machine builder, OMEGA® belongs to the most cost effective of this kind on the market. NETZSCH Feinmahltechnik is going to offer initially three different per-formance classes between 30 l/h and 2,000 l/h. The parameters of the OMEGA® did not only convince the stand visitors during Powtech 2013, but moreover the jury of the Innovation Award, which was awar-ded for the sixth time in the fair context. The dispersing unit could prevail against all other, likewise highly interesting innovations in the category of apparatus building and process components.International interest was also at-tracted by the decision of NETZSCH Grinding and Dispersing to form a strategic alliance with the English material characterization specia-lists of Malvern Instruments Ltd. The combination of the wide ma-chine program and the process technology know-how of NETZSCH with the outstanding experience of Malvern Ltd. in the field of particle properties characterization was ge-nerally considered appropriate and favourably received.The alliance creates a worldwide service network with extraordinary possibilities of laboratory analysis and consulting, as well as a large portfolio of innovative systems, available from now on to every cu-stomer.

D ie Mahl- und Feinmahlspe-zialisten der NETZSCH-Gruppe melden zur Jahre-

smitte eine solide Auftragslage und blicken optimistisch in die Zukunft. Als Hauptursachen hierfür gelten viele neue Entwicklungen und inno-vative Optimierungen bewährter Sy-steme. Und auch die zukunftswei-sende Kooperation von NETZSCH Mahlen & Dispergieren mit der englischen Malvern Instruments Ltd. wird von Branchenkennern als Umsatzmotor eingestuft.Eine der umfangreichsten Optimie-rungen nahm NETZSCH-CONDUX Prallmühle CONDUX® vor, die kom-plett konzeptionell überarbeitet wur-de. Viele Sonderkonstruktionen, die bereits über wesentliche Merkmale des neuen Mühlenkonzepts verfügen und schon mit großem Erfolg in Be-trieb sind, gaben den Anlass für die Entwicklungsarbeiten am neuen Mühlentyp CONDUX®. Es wurden bei der überarbeiteten Ausführung einer-seits bewährte Konstruktionsmer-kmale beibehalten, andererseits ein extrem flexibles Baukastensystem geschaffen. Verglichen mit konven-tionellen universellen Rotorpral-lmühlen wird nun deutlich mehr Fle-xibilität bei der Produktverarbeitung geboten. Dies ist hauptsächlich der neuen Konzeption zu verdanken, die die bewährten Designvorgaben nun anwendungsbezogen umsetzt. NETZSCH-CONDUX verzichtet dabei von vornherein auf die Integration von ungenutzten Features und bietet nur das an, was der Kunde für seine Aufgabenstellung wirklich benötigt.Ein weiteres Highlight im Portfolio bildet der technisch wegweisende Economic Dispersionizer OMEGA®. Es handelt sich hierbei um ein kon-tinuierlich betriebenes System, das durch Nutzung eines neu konzipier-ten Dispergierorgans ebenfalls neue

Maßstäbe in Bezug auf Verschleiß, Energie- und Wartungsaufwand sowie Wärmeentwicklung zu setzen verspricht. Die optimale Kombination der Faktoren Turbulenz, Kavation und Scherkräfte spielt dabei eine maßgebliche Rolle. Laut Aussage des Herstellers gehört die OMEGA® zu den kosteneffektivsten Systemen dieser Art auf dem Markt. NETZSCH Feinmahltechnik wird die neue An-lage zunächst in drei verschiedenen Leistungsklassen zwischen 30 l/h und 2.000 l/h anbieten. Die Lei-stungsparameter der OMEGA® über-zeugten schon während der Powtech 2013 nicht nur die Besucher des Messestandes, sondern auch die Jury des „Innovation Award“, der im Rahmen der Veranstaltung zum se-chsten Mal ausgelobt worden war. Hier konnte sich das Dispergieror-gan gegen alle anderen, ebenfalls hochinteressanten Neuentwicklun-gen in der Kategorie „Apparatebau und Verfahrenskomponenten“ dur-chsetzen.Für internationales Aufsehen sorgte darüber hinaus die Entscheidung von NETZSCH Mahlen & Dispergie-ren und den englischen Material-charakterisierungsspezialisten der Malvern Instruments Ltd. zur Bildung einer strategischen Allianz. Die Kom-bination des umfangreichen Maschi-nenprogramms und des verfahren-stechnischen Know-How der Firma NETZSCH mit der einzigartigen Er-fahrung der Malvern Ltd. auf dem Ge-biet der Charakterisierung von Parti-keleigenschaften wurde allgemein als sinnvoll empfunden und positiv aufgenommen. Durch die Allianz ent-steht ein weltweites Servicenetzwerk mit umfassenden Möglichkeiten der Laboranalyse, der Beratung und ei-nem großen Portfolio an innovativen Anlagen, das ab sofort jedem Kun-den zur Verfügung steht.

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

titive, especially at Christmas, so we wanted to create a pack format that was modern and fresh with a no-stalgic feel that would appeal to customers. It was also important that the pack format, conveyed the quality image with which Thorntons and the Mo-ments brand is so closely associated,” explains Han-nah Legg, Brand and Customer Marketing Director at Thorntons.“The RPC solution delivers on all these points and we are sure it will make an important contribution to the continued success of the Moments range.”

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

SUSTAINABLE FOOD

T argeting international development trends, Ener-gy Resources’ mission desires to translate the vision into a much more solid approach by de-

signing technologies, systems and products that really mean zero impact for each human activity, from producing energy from renewable and inexhaustible sources to the use of energy to supply buildings and sustainable mobility systems.With more than 110 megawatts of total power installed in plants exploiting renewable energies, Energy Resources is one of the leaders in the Italian renewable energy market. In six years the company has reached a turnover of more than € 350 million.To date more than 600 among the most important Italian companies have chosen ER to create photovoltaic and ge-othermal plants, Green Buildings and for renovating the energy systems as well as integrated systems for sustai-nable mobility.Energy Resources is also a green energy producer with 8.5 megawatts of owned photovoltaic plants which open the Italian energy market to foreign investors.Food is converting to renewables. A host of companies in the industry are renovating the energy systems in their fa-cilities. There are two aims: restore old plants, often fea-turing asbestos roofs which require reclamation, and cut heating and electricity consumption thus reducing costs for the companies. Renewable energy is the answer to

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

ENERGY RESURCE FP 2/13.indd 3 03/12/13 10.42


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

C.B.M. FILENIThis well-known chicken farm concei-ved two separate projects for energy development at the chicken houses and warehouses located in San Mar-cello (An), by installing a 200kw pho-tovoltaic system with the Net metering formula (90% guaranteed coverage of the company’s electricity require-

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

VIS INDUSTRIE ALIMENTARIIn 2011 this leading company specia-lised in the production and wholesale of frozen food decided to transform the roof of the facility in Noale (VE)

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

B ereits auf die Dynamiken der internationalen Entwic-klung ausgelegt, möchte

die Mission von Energy Resources die Vision in einen sehr viel konkre-teren Ansatz übersetzen, und dabei Technologien, Systeme und Pro-dukte entwickeln, die in der Lage sind, eine wirkliche Null-Auswirkung für jede menschliche Tätigkeit zu er-zielen, von der Stromerzeugung aus erneuerbaren und unerschöpflichen Quellen, bis hin zur Nutzung dessel-ben für die Energieversorgung von Gebäuden und nachhaltigen Mobi-litätssystemen.Mit über 100 Megawatt installier-ter Gesamtleistung in Anlagen zur Nutzung erneuerbarer Energien ist

Energy Resources einer der Top-Leader auf dem italienischen Markt der erneuerbaren Energien. In sechs Jahren hat das Unternehmen einen Umsatz von über 350 Millionen Euro erwirtschaftet.Bis heute haben sich über 600 der be-deutendsten Unternehmen des Made in Italy zur Verwirklichung von pho-tovoltaischen und geothermischen Anlagen, Green Building und energe-tischen Requalifizierungen, nebst in-tegrierten Systemen für die nachhal-tige Mobilität, für ER entschieden. Energy Resources ist auch Erzeuger von grünem Strom durch 8,5 Mega-watt eigene Photovoltaikanlagen, die den italienischen Strommarkt für ausländische Investoren öffnen.

Die Lebensmittelindustrie setzt auf saubere Energie. Zwei exzellente Beispiele aus dem Hause Energy Resources: Cbm Fileni und Vis Industrie Alimentari

SUSTAINABLE FOOD



Die Lebensmittelindustrie sattelt auf erneuerbare Energien um. Zahlreiche Unternehmen der Branche setzen auf die energetische Requalifizierung ihrer Strukturen. Dabei wird ein zwei-faches Ziel verfolgt: Die Sanierung der alten Werke, die sich oftmals noch durch Asbestabdeckungen au-szeichnen, die saniert werden müs-sen und die drastische Reduzierung des Heizungs- und Stromverbrauchs zur Senkung der Betriebskosten. Die Antwort auf diese dringenden Bedürf-nisse kann nur von den erneuerbaren Energien kommen. Es gibt zwei virtuose Beispiele, die Energy Resources in Italien ver-wirklicht hat: Vis Industrie Alimentari und Cbm Fileni. Durch das Ministe-rialdekret vom 19. Februar 2007 hat sich die Möglichkeit für die italieni-schen Unternehmen, aber auch für Privatpersonen eröffnet, durch die Installation von Photovoltaikpanee-len sowohl auf Dächern, als auch auf dem Boden, einen aktiven Beitrag für den Umweltschutz zu leisten. Mit Blick auf die Einsparung, und zwar nicht nur aus wirtschaftlicher Sicht. Und sehr viele haben die Gelegen-heit beim Schopf gepackt, auch in Anbetracht der Tatsache, dass die Photovoltaik für eine bessere Isolie-rung des Daches sorgt, ohne Gefah-ren für die Abdichtungseigenschaften der Dachböden. Die erneuerbaren Energien stellen im Übrigen eine ausgezeichnete Investition in Bezug auf Kommunikation und Green Mar-keting dar: Der moderne Verbrau-cher wird immer aufmerksamer und achtet neben der Nachhaltigkeit der Produktkette auch auf die Umwel-tauswirkungen des Unternehmens, einen Wert, der sich direkt im Endpro-dukt widerspiegelt, und die Wahr-nehmung von Qualität und Ursprün-glichkeit steigert. «Jede für unsere Kunden installierte Anlage - erklärt der Präsident von Energy Resources, Enrico Cappanera - ist wie ein Maßan-zug, geplant und gebaut auf Grundla-ge der tatsächlichen Bedürfnisse und Potenziale der Strukturen, für die wir

arbeiten. Wir sprechen hier von effi-zienten, effektiven und sicheren Inve-stitionen».

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

Erdöl überschritten: Das entspricht 106 Tausend neuen Bäumen.

VIS INDUSTRIE ALIMENTARIDas bedeutende, auf die Herstellung und den Großhandel von Tiefkühlwa-ren spezialisierte Unternehmen hat 2011 beschlossen, das Dach des Werks in Noale (VE) in ein wahres Kraf-twerk für die Erzeugung von Solare-nergie zu verwandeln, und dabei glei-chzeitig die alten Asbestabdeckungen zu sanieren. Energy Resources hat das sowohl technisch als auch wirtschaf-tlich gesehen wettbewerbsfähigste Angebot abgegeben und der Vis Indu-strie Alimentari dadurch ermöglicht, nicht nur auf die Fördermittel für die Erzeugung von „grüner“ Energie, son-dern auch auf eine weitere Prämie für die Asbestsanierung zuzugreifen. Die 292,5 kWp Photovoltaikanlage stellt eine neue Einnahmequelle dar, da sie für deutliche Einsparungen durch die starke Senkung des Stromverbrauchs sorgt. In fast zwei Jahren nach Inbe-triebnahme der Paneele, hat die Pro-duktion von „grüner“ Energie 400.000 kWh, entsprechend über 200.000 kg nicht in die Atmosphäre abgegebe-nem CO2, sowie eine wirtschaftliche Einsparung von etwa 90.000 Euro pro Jahr erreicht. Dank der Asbestsa-nierung zählt die der VIS zuerkannte Förderprämie mit zu den höchsten, die man von der Energieagentur GSE bekommen kann.



H ydrosol, the specialist in stabilising systems, is systematically continu-

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

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

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

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

Innovative clean-label solutionsIn response to the increasing de-mand for clean-label products on the part of consumers, Hydrosol has

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

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

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

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

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

Rob Stillman, Engineering Manager for Fruitapeel, says: “We code a lot of products and the Linx 5900 has freed up our time to get on with other things – it doesn’t need any intervention other than adding fluids. “Since installing the Linx 5900 in August we haven’t had any problems. Our operators like the printer be-cause it is easy to use and we are able to leave them to it.” The Linx 5900 also has the adaptability to be fur-

ther upgraded as and when required, with a variety of enhancements available that can be incorporated

at any time, avoiding the need to purchase a whole new printer and making the ini-

tial investment future-proof.Designed to provide maximum flexibility and consistently relia-

ble coding, it offers the lowest maintenance costs for this type of printer along with extended service intervals of up to 6,000 hours. The Linx 5900 also provides a cost-effective and predictable maintenance programme. Ser-vice intervals are up to 6,000 hours and each service requires fewer parts to be changed than with other printers. Together with minimal printhead maintenance, this means that the Linx 5900 delivers lowest-in-class annual maintenance costs.

PACKAGINGLABELLING WEIGHING

LABELX® WORLD: INNOVATION IN AUTOMATIC LABELLINGL ABELX® WORLD is the result

of several years of work de-dicated to an idea developed

by a team with imagination, expertise and pragmatism who wanted to bring something really innovative to the au-tomatic labeling market. The product series LABELX® is represented by re-novated solutions for the automatic labeling which the LBX MODULAR DS system epitomizes at best as it is realized for applications in the co-smetics, chemical, and pharma-ceutical sectors with ergono-mic, reliable and user-friendlysolutions. All of the systems of the Modular series are characterized by balcony-like struc-tures that grant the utmost acces-sibility for cleaning the floor underneath the machine, by the control panel equipped with a Touch Screen interface

and housed in a hanging position. For the pharma-ceutical industry, a typical end-of-packaging line is re-presented where a stamping system mod. LBX MODU-LAR TS-PHARMA is ideal. Such a system has been realized in compliance with the pharmaceutical industry needs. A print & apply sy-stem of the new PandA® 4 also com-

pletes the equipment.PandA® represents the new generation of print & apply systems, originating from the

experience gained in over 20 years of activity. It can also be com-bined with a complete series of appli-

cator modules fit for the most di-verse labeling and identification

requirements.The electronic control of the new PandA® series has a

T he chocolate industry has never experienced a crisis. This is probably due to the

fact that, unlike most, it has mana-ged to create a new identity for its product assortment. In fact, the sale of chocolate pro-ducts is no longer limited to “festi-vities” or “special occasions”, but has rather become a part of our daily diet. This development has been facilitated by a trend whe-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

LIGHTWEIGHT AND VERSATILE, THE MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS OF EPSPACKAGINGThe wide range of physical/mechanical properties and the su-perb flexibility of Expanded Polystyrene to the most diverse needs provide competitive solutions, both economically and environmentally, to the problems of packaging, which can vary greatly according to level of protection required for products.

AIPE FP.indd 3 01/02/13 16.36


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

am containers also.Bottle Containers (oil/wine cellars)EPS is also used to manufacture in-teresting types of bottle packaging: versatile containers, with an innova-tive and modern look, to transport

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

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

Fruit and Vegetable Industry

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

W e APPE’s ThermaLite® hot-fill and pasteurisa-ble PET jar has been

chosen as the winner of the presti-gious Horners Bottlemakers Award for 2013.Established in 2002, the award is run jointly by the Worshipful Com-pany of Horners (an ancient Live-ry Company of the City of London) and the British Plastics Federation (BPF). It celebrates innovation in the manufacture of a plastic bottle, jar or hollow container by any pro-cess, with significant UK content in design, manufacture and materials, and a proven record of commercial success.The ThermaLite® jar can withstand filling and processing temperatu-res of up to 95oC and offers food manufacturers and retailers a va-riety of convenience and sustaina-bility benefits over more traditional packaging formats such as glass.In terms of sustainability, the jar is up to 85% lighter than glass equi-valents with a smaller footprint, de-livering huge savings in transport costs both before and after filling. It is also fully recyclable. In addi-tion, the jar uses less energy during the filling process, as well as redu-cing noise levels and avoiding the risk of breakages on the line.

Equally important, the lightweight shatterproof construction means safety and convenience throughout the supply chain and in the home. For consumers, it provides easy handling and pouring, and its stan-dard metal twist-off closure ensu-res easy opening and closing. For retailers and brand owners, me-anwhile, the clarity of the PET cre-ates excellent on-shelf impact for a wide range of products including cooking sauces, pesto, tomato-ba-sed products, pickled vegetables, relishes chutneys, and fruit purées, jams and spreads. Furthermore, thanks to the jar’s smaller footprint compared to glass, more units can be incorporated into the same shelf space, while its shatter-resistance offers new opportunities for pro-

duct placement, for exam-ple close to the chill

cabinet. “As well as demon-strating innovative

and detailed pro-duct design, the jud-

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

Are the current bioplastics really sustainable?Everyone uses the term „sustainable“ today, but due the extremely widespre-ad use of this term, especially in the packaging industry, very few people ac-tually know what is meant by this term. Wikipedia says the following: „Sustai-nability is the capacity to endure. For humans, sustainability is the long-term maintenance of responsibility, which has environmental, economic, and so-cial dimensions, and encompasses the concept of stewardship, the responsi-ble management of resource use. In ecology, sustainability describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time, a necessary pre-condition for human well-being. Long-lived and healthy wetlands and forests are examples of sustainable biological systems.“ [1].All too quickly now - under the guise of „sustainability“ – companies are bridging the gap to the use of renew-able raw materials in the production of films, the manufacture of biologi-cally degradable films, and to the na-tural cycle by subsequent composting of the films or packaging. It is a very

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE FOLLOWING IMAGES SHOW SOME EXAMPLES

BUERGO.PET expanded is very suitable as package for meat and sausages. In combina-tion with barrier films, an excellent barrier effect is obtained



plies, electronics on the other hand, must be particularly emphasized. The combination of stackability and slippa-ge resistance in the packaging is gua-ranteed.

Composite FilmsJust like before, the new foamed APET films can also be bonded to a lamina-te with barrier films from the BUERGO.FOL company in an additional refine-ment step. The bond is strong and permanent. Delamination does not occur in top films or in bottom films. By selecting suitable laminating films, it is possible to vary the barrier properties for oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapour as well the opening characteri-stics of the packaging. The spectrum ranges from tight sealed packaging to packaging that is especially easy to open, i.e. easy to peel. As a whole, this allows the realization of customi-zed packaging, and the film specialists from Bavaria are ready to meet the de-mands and requirements of manufac-turers, retailers, and consumers.

4. SavingsSustainable development will be part of the future of the packaging market. In times of heavy pricing pressure, the economical use of resources will beco-me more important than ever.The following table shows the potential savings in packaging by comparing the foamed APET film BUERGO.PET expan-ded with the non-foamed BUERGO.PET film. The table shows how much packaging material weight can be sa-ved when using the foamed film. In addition to the cost savings in mate-rial and the lower transportation costs

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

5. Summary and OutlookThe new, verifiably sustainable con-cept from BUERGO.FOL, who has alre-ady realized the production and sales of foamed APET films in the BUERGO.PET expanded product class, also of-fers a whole range of advantages on the product side:

• Excellent processing characteristics on existing machines• Appealing look and feel• Outstanding mechanical properties

In comparison to other plastics, Gregor Schleicher, Managing Director of the BUERGO.FOL GmbH, stated the fol-

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

BOTTLING PLANTS EQUIPMENT

W orld coffee market has huge dimensions, se-cond only to oil, and

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

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

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

Z ambelli Srl was founded in 1969 as a company to ma-nufacture packaging ma-

chines in the mechanical deep-roo-ted tradition of the city of Bologna, famous worldwide as “Packaging Valley”. In a few years the success of the technological solutions adop-ted has crossed the Italian borders and created a customer base of in-ternational renown.Zambelli today range of machines is composed by:› shrinkwrapping machines › tray-packers› cartoners› case packers› pick & place and robotized palle-tizer .The beverage industry has always

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

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

ZAMBELLI FP 3/13.indd 3 03/12/13 11.11


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

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

these chains that are highly sensi-ble to the cyclic heating and cooling through the tunnel has reduced to zero the maintenance of all the tun-nel. The stretching of the mesh belt is in fact automatically compensa-ted for by a counter weight assem-bly.› powered servo driven film unwin-ding system preventing any film stretching when pulled from the roll › allows a dramatic reduction of the film thickness with significant ma-terial savings for the end user. Fur-thermore the absence of stretching of the film increases the accuracy

of the centering of the printed film on the bundle. Zambelli’s research has also tackled energy consumption for film shrinking and aesthe-tic improvement of the shrink pack. Zambelli unique energy sa-

ving heating tunnel design has obtained

ZAMBELLI FP 3/13.indd 4 03/12/13 11.11


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

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

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

K ey Technology introduces VitiSort™, a new sorter de-signed for red wine grapes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

and Beck’s Blue , reducing the ori-ginal from 185gms to 165gms. The 11 per cent weight reduction on 130 million bottles will save 2,642 tonnes of glass, the equi-valent weight of over 200 modern double decker buses. The new lighter bottle will mean 1,940 tonnes of CO2 are removed from the manufacturing process at Ardagh’s glass plant in Nienburg, Germany, where the bottles were

produced. Ardagh’s use of advan-ced analytical design tools enabled the 20g per bottle weight reduction to be achieved whilst maintaining the strength of the original contai-ner. Designers were also able to provide additional value through the incorporation of a label panel, whilst retaining the outline bottle shape and neck profile of the pre-vious design.Fabienne Rollot, marketing direc-tor, at Beck’s Western Europe, said: “Beck’s is a pioneering brand at the forefront of independent

thinking, always looking for ways to innovate. This change is just one of the ways in which we are improving our en-vironmental performance and ma-king our iconic green bottles even greener.”Inge Plochaet, president, at AB InBev UK & Ireland, said: “The lighter Beck’s bottles will make a tangible contribution to this effort and represent another significant step towards realising our ambi-tion to become the Best Beer Com-pany in a Better World.”

A new Avery Dennison film and adhesive portfolio being introduced at Labe-

lexpo 2013 has been designed to make PET recycling far more ef-fective. With more than two billion PET containers a year failing to enter the recycling stream, finding a way to recycle them without con-tamination is an extremely impor-tant industry goal. Avery Dennison CleanFlake™ is a patent-pending adhesive technology that “switches off” when submerged in a recycling bath so the label cleanly separates from the PET flakes. Although the-se labels adhere firmly to PET bot-tles or containers during use, they detach readily in a conventional recycling facility and float to the sur-face of the bath, allowing clean PET flakes to sink to the bottom. “Recycled PET (rPET) is a valuable and saleable material in its own right, but this solution is also im-portant because recycling leads to major reductions in the amount of material going to landfill, as well as delivering significant greenhou-

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

Packaging Materials. “We are wor-king with beverage industry leaders to deliver a certified portfolio that meets aggressive standards for PET up-cycling.”

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

Typical applications include fresh salads, dips and des-serts.

T he Group from Florence, Italy, (www.irplast.it), a Eu-ropean leader in the pro-

duction of printed adhesive tapes, labels and bi-oriented polypropyle-ne film, presents its major mar-ket innovations. They represents Company’s latest results of major investments in Research and Deve-lopment. Environmental sustaina-bility, innovation and quality/price ratio are what mark these new so-lutions destined to revolutionize the packaging market.AIRTAPETM: latest generation adhesive tape characterized by a thickness of only 15 microns (mar-ket standard 25-28µm). Ideal for multi-sector packaging, it offers nu-merous advantages: it is ecological (100% recyclable, with lower CO2 emission, reduction in raw material consumption), economical (lower storage and transport costs) and high performance (optimal adhe-sion, UV-ray resistant, silent and easy in use). Application: cartons, multi sector packaging. Main plus:

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

Ecological › significant reduction in packa-ging weight

› reduced CO2 emission to produ-ce film and reduction in raw mate-rial consumption› The average (40%) CO2 emis-sions per kg remains the same, but in absolute figures, and taking into in consideration only the pha-se to produce Polypropylene gra-nules, the carbon footprint mea-sures around 1.7kg of CO2 per kg of Polypropylene produced, hence the estimated savings from 1 ton of PP are 680kg. Reduced CO2

emissions in the disposal phase too: 1kg of Polypropylene produces 6kg of CO2 during disposal, there-fore to dispose of 10kg of adhesive tape 24kg of CO2 less are produ-ced.› recyclable

Efficient› possibility of longer rolls at com-parable weight and diameter - fewer changes and reduced stora-ge space

Perfect for packaging labels in the beverage, food, and detergent sectors, it is high performance and can guarantee efficiency on bott-ling lines working on up to 48,000 bott/h and above. Application: packaging sector for beverage, food, detergent and toi-letry sectors, and wrap-around la-bels in general. Main plus: Economical› 50% saving due to reduction in material used › reduced transport costs – grea-ter quantity and value of goods at comparable weight and volume

Ecological › significant reduction in packaging weight› reduced CO2 emission to produce film and reduction of raw materials the average (40%) CO2 emissions that per kg remains the same, but in absolute figures, and taking into in consideration only the phase to produce Polypropylene granules, the carbon footprint measures around 1.7kg of CO2 per kg of Polypropyle-ne produced, hence the estimated CO2 savings from 1 ton of PP are 680kg. Reduced CO2 emissions in the disposal phase too: 1kg of Polypropylene produces 6kg of CO2 during disposal, therefore to dispo-se of 10kg of adhesive tape 24kg of CO2 less are produced.› reduction in the impact of tran-sport: greater quantity of goods sent for the same volume› recyclable product

Efficient› optimum performance on machi-nes› greater efficiency on machines, with a smaller number of reel changes› high yield

W hile in the brew- house of a brewery the wort is produced from

malt, water and hops, the prepa-ration of the wort for the following fermentation is performed in the downstream fermenting room. In order to avoid building beer-spoiling microorganisms, the hot wort must achieve the pitching temperature as soon as possible. Typically, the hot wort will be cooled down to 7 to 9°C so that the yeast can ferment efficiently. Most of the breweries use closed cooling systems. A pla-te heat exchanger (plate cooler) consisting of thin, closely spaced metal plates ensures the rapid co-oling. They are alternatively passed through wort and cooling water. This process causes a cold break with tiny particles in the first plain wort. The turbidity has an influen-ce on the velocity of fermentation and maturation, because particles attach themselves to the yeast cells that become smeared. Repe-ated use of yeast, the cold break

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

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

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

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

S idel has introduced a new 0.5 litre PET bottle for still water called RightWeight™,

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

market shelf in front of the consumer.“Beverage producers are increasingly striving to unlock the value of a PET bottle across their entire supply chain, from concept to consumer,” explains Christophe Bunel, Head of Packaging Care & Development at Sidel. “To achieve this, a bottle must be lighter, of course, but also stay attractive, protect the beverage and ensure high consumer satisfaction. At Sidel we call this ‘rightweighting’. It’s no lon-ger about simply reducing the plastic content. Our new RightWeight bottle is designed to reduce bottle weight, and also save energy during production, improve bottle performance across the supply chain, without compromi-sing on product quality, and result in a far better consumer experience for such a light bottle.”Compared with an average of 12 grams for commercial 0.5 litre water bottles available on the market to-day, the 7.95 gram bottle represents 34% less weight than the average commercial bottle. It also achieves

32% more top-load performance than the lightest commercial bottle, resulting in raw-material cost sa-vings of up to EUR 1.75 million per year, according to Sidel data. The blowing pressure for the bottle is also just 20 bars. In many cases the bottles can match the top-load per-formance of nitro-

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

The bottle weighs 34% less than the average commercial bottle and achieves 32% more top-load performance than the lightest commercial bottle, resulting in cost savings of up to EUR 1.75 million per year, according to Sidel data.

AUTOMATIONCOMPONENTS INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS

D atalogic, leader mon-diale nell’ acquisizione automatica dei dati e

nell’automazione industriale, ha sviluppato e brevettato una solu-zione innovativa per la rilevazione a tasteggio diretto (quindi senza biso-gno di riflettori prismatici) di oggetti estremamente riflettenti e traspa-renti con inoltre una funzione di soppressione dello sfondo che con-sente di rendere la rilevazione im-mune da oggetti o sfondi retrostan-ti, che possono essere scuri oppure riflettenti come nel caso di superfici metalliche, o addirittura variabili tra queste due condizioni limite.Per consentire di risolvere diversi casi applicativi, Datalogic ha svilup-pato due versioni di questo nuovo sensore della serie S8, una con emissione a LED (S8 Clear Detec-tion LED) e un’altra con emissione Laser (S8 Clear Detection LASER), in entrambi casi visibile rossa.La versione con emissione Laser ha una distanza massima di lavoro re-golabile da 50 a 150 mm e, grazie al raggio luminoso concentrato in pochi millimetri, consente di effet-tuare applicazioni di precisione ad elevata risoluzione in condizioni di sfondo fisso, come ad esempio la rilevazione di oggetti altamente ri-flettenti con il sensore installato sul bordo laterale di un conveyor.La versione con emissione LED, raccomandata per la rilevazione de-

gli oggetti trasparenti, ha una mag-giore distanza di lavoro regolabile da 100 a 300 mm, con un raggio luminoso che comprende un’area più ampia, ed è indicata per appli-cazioni con sfondo in movimento, come ad esempio per la rilevazione dall’alto di oggetti posizionati su di un nastro trasportatore o una rullie-ra. I due modelli consentono dunque di rilevare la più ampia gamma di oggetti trasparenti e più o meno ri-flettenti, dalle bottiglie in vetro o in PET ai film plastici per il confezio-namento, dalle fiale ai blister impie-gati in campo farmaceutico e dalle vaschette ai sacchetti utilizzati nel settore alimentare.Le maggiori applicazioni per questi sensori S8-M53 si trovano infatti sulle macchine per la lavorazione e il confezionamento di liquidi, be-vande, prodotti alimentari e farma-ceutici. Non a caso questi sensori sono disponibili in versione in pla-stica, ma anche con contenitore in acciaio inossidabile con protezione IP69K e certificato per l’impiego con detergenti industriali secondo Diversey e Ecolab.La serie S8 di sensori fotoelettrici Datalogic nasce per risolvere le ap-plicazioni più critiche di rilevazione nelle macchine automatiche, ovve-ro tutti quei casi in cui ricorre la pa-rola “troppo” seguita da un aggetti-vo: trasparente, riflettente, piccolo,

veloce, ecc.Sono infatti disponibili tutti i model-li standard a tasteggio con soppres-sione dello sfondo, retroriflessione polarizzata e proiettore-ricevitore, così come altri modelli applicativi specifici per le macchine automati-che, come ad esempio il sensore di contrasto con emissione RGB per la rilevazione delle tacche di registro presenti sulle confezioni per sincro-nizzare le varie operazioni di taglio, formatura, chiusura, ecc. Tra i nuo-vi sviluppi è previsto un sensore di luminescenza con emissione a LED UV per la rilevazione di tacche fluo-rescenti, anche invisibili all’occhio umano.

M odern machines and plants are becoming more and more com-

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

Caption: User-friendly measuring equipment with flexibly program-mable displays opens up practical process monitoring options.

The eye is surely the most impor-tant human sensory organ because we can easily assimilate and utilize data that we perceive within split seconds. Baumer has implemented this insight in new process mea-suring equipment and developed a display suitable for CombiSerie sensors (Figure 1) which enables the user to register relevant data

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

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

the process is running; even subse-quent modifications can easily be implemented.

Caption: Traffic light function: red = act

Because tastes vary and the re-presentation of measuring values should naturally be adapted to therespective plant’s requirements as well, the display is flexible also in this regard. Digital as well as analogrepresentation of the values is pos-sible, e.g. as a scale with pointer, bar or column diagram, and the various representation modes and illustrations can be combined as desired (Figure 3). Because the display can also be rotated in two axes by up to 360°, it is visible and accessible from al-most any location. The display is 80 mm in diameter so it is easy to read even from a larger distance.

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

different options: analog, digital or illustration.

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

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

industries. They offer the user not only the required process safety but also make the equipment more user-friendly.The Baumer Group is an interna-tional leading manufacturer and developer of sensors, encoders, measuring instruments and compo-nents for automated image-proces-sing.

CLOSURE AND CONTAINER MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION WILL BECOME PART OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF BEVERAGE TECHNOLOGISTS

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

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

T he integrated mini gear mo-tors of the Mini Motor XC Series develop a max power

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

and torque adjustments. As for the range buses, for these devices, the customer can choose between a profibus and canopen, while other bus types will be available in the near future. This series can include a worm screw or planetary reduction unit with minimal play. The other no-velties this year, which comes with a host of new solutions, include the brushless servo gear motors MCBS and MCFBS, the ultimate frontier in the modern evolution of worm gear motors, and the refurbished range of drives and frequency converters Drivert and Minivert, which offer a performance/price ratio like none before.The entire range of new products are proof of Minimotor’s endeavour to boost its offer in the several com-partments of industrial automation, with a special eye to the strategic field

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

Q uadrant Engineering Pla-stic Products (EPP) has updated its range of Food

Grade Plastics in line with the new European Union Regulation (EU) 10/2011. The move makes Quadrant EPP the first and only engineering plastics’ manufacturer to offer such a broad and fully-tested range of ther-moplastic stock shapes complying with the regulation.The portfolio of certified materials, co-vering PE through to PEEK, gives food producers the assurance of fulfilling the highest safety and quality levels for their food and beverage produc-tion systems. New Regulation (EU) 10/2011 is a further development of Directive 2002/72/EC for plastics materials in contact with food, and specifies much stricter test conditions for migration. Within the EU, com-pliance is required for all food contact materials.All Quadrant EPP Food Grade semi-finished stock shapes and customi-zed finished parts are processed and handled according to the new regula-tion and to the consistent quality con-trol guidelines of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). Quadrant EPP accom-panies each delivery with complete documentation, from choice of raw material to finished parts. This allows

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

their individual applications – a fur-ther step in supporting their overall cost-efficiency.As part of its complete Food Grade Program, customers can benefit from Quadrant’s international partner net-work to select the right material for their application. The material selec-tion and application advice considers the food type in contact with the pla-stic parts, and temperature and food contact time.“Quadrant is constantly developing innovative production and application solutions to help customers improve their production performance,” com-ments Ulf Barth, Market Segment Manager Food Processing Industry, Quadrant EPP Europe. “The Quadrant Food Grade Program offers the food market the widest selection of engi-neering plastic stock shapes and de-sign possibilities. Materials certified to the highest safety level, migration calculation support, and application selection recommendations, assist our customers in reaching the best possible cost-performance ratio for their individual system.”

Q uadrant Engineering Plastic Products (EPP) hat seine Palette von „Food Grade“-

Kunststoffen in Übereinstimmung mit der neuen Verordnung (EU) 10/2011 der Europäischen Union aktualisiert und erweitert. Damit ist Quadrant der erste und einzige Hersteller von tech-nischen Kunststoffen, der bereits eine derart breite Palette von vollumfänglich getesteten und zertifizierten thermopla-stischen Halbzeugen anbieten kann.Das Portfolio deckt zertifizierte Materia-lien von PE bis PEEK ab. Es ermöglicht Nahrungsmittelherstellern, das höchste Sicherheits- und Qualitätsniveau für ihre Lebensmittel- und Getränke-Pro-duktionssysteme einzuhalten. Die neue Verordnung (EU) 10/2011 ist eine Wei-

terentwicklung der Richtlinie 2002/72/EG für Kunststoffe im Kontakt mit Le-bensmitteln und legt sehr viel strengere Prüfbedingungen für die Migration dar. Innerhalb der EU ist deren Einhaltung für alle Materialien mit Lebensmit-telkontakt gefordert.Alle Quadrant Food Grade-Halbzeuge und maßgeschneiderte Fertigteile wer-den nach der neuen Verordnung ve-rarbeitet, und der konsequenten Qua-litätskontrolle gemäß den Richtlinien der „Gute Herstellungspraxis” (Good Manufacturing Practice - GMP) behan-delt. Quadrant begleitet jede Lieferung mit kompletter Dokumentation, von der Wahl der Rohstoffe bis zum fertigen Bauteil. Dies ermöglicht eine vollstän-dige Rückverfolgbarkeit und unterstützt Kunden bei der Reduzierung ihres eige-nen Zeit- und Kostenaufwandes für hau-sinterne Produkttests.Kunden erhalten ein Werksbescheini-gung (Declaration of Compliance with the Order - DCO) nach EN 10204-2.1, die für lückenlose Rückverfolgbar-keit der Kunststoff-Produkte sorgt, vom Halbzeug bis zurück zur verwen-deten Rohstoff-Charge. Jeder Pro-duktionsschritt wird getestet und von Quadrant dokumentiert.Quadrant ist auch führend am Markt bei der Einführung einer Konformität-serklärung (Declaration of Compliance = DoC) für jede Lieferung - eine Doku-mentationspflicht gültig ab 2016 -, die die kompletten Prüfbedingungen zusammen mit den Migrationswerten der Materialien enthält. Tests zur Be-stimmung der Migrationswerte von Quadrant’s Kunststoffen für den Kon-takt mit Lebensmitteln wurden an den thermoplastischen Halbzeugen vom unabhängigen externen Labor Intertek

durchgeführt. Diese Tests entsprechen den Richtlinien der Verordnung (EU) 10/2011. Das Portfolio von über 30 Produkten wurde pro „Overall Migration Limit“ (OML) und „Specific Migration Li-mit“ (SML) getestet, um die Trägheit des Materials zu messen und eine toxikolo-gische Bewertung der einzelnen Sub-stanzen zu beurteilen. Durch die Einbe-ziehung der vorgeprüften Ergebnisse gemäß DoC können Kunden Migra-tionswerte für ihre individuellen Anwen-dungen leichter kalkulieren. Quadrant unterstützt seine Kunden bei Bedarf bei der Berechnung der Migrationswerte. Als Teil des kompletten Food Grade-Pro-gramms können die Kunden vom inter-nationalen Quadrant Partner-Netzwerk profitieren, um das richtige Material für ihre Anwendung zu wählen. Die Auswahl der Materialien bei der Anwendungsbe-ratung berücksichtigt Lebensmittel-Typ in Kontakt mit den Kunststoffteilen, Temperatur und die Kontaktzeit (von Nahrungsmittel und Kunststoffteil).“Quadrant entwickelt ständig innovative Produktions- und Anwendungslösun-gen, die dem Kunden wiederum bei der Verbesserung ihrer Produktionslei-stung helfen”, kommentiert Ulf Barth, Markt-Segment-Manager Lebensmitte-lindustrie, Quadrant EPP Europe. “Das Quadrant Food Grade-Programm bietet dem Lebensmittelmarkt die breiteste Auswahl von technischen Kunststoff-Halbzeugen und Gestaltungsmögli-chkeiten. Konforme Materialien auf höchstem Sicherheitsniveau, Unter-stützung bei der Migrations-Berechnung und Empfehlungen bei der Auswahl der Anwendung unterstützen unsere Kun-den bei der Erreichung des bestmögli-chen Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnisses für ihre individuellen Systeme.”

T he 35th edition of SIGEP, the International Exhibition of Artisan Ice cream, Confectione-ry and Bakery production, the world’s leading

expo, being held at Rimini Fiera from 18th to 22nd January 2014, was presented today in Milan. Eight months before the expo, over 50% of the exhibition space has been confirmed, a figure that is considera-bly better that that of the same period twelve months ago.As the press conference, Rimini Fiera chairman Lo-renzo Cagnoni and business unit manager Patrizia Cecchi outlined an innovative strategic perspective, based on the careful analysis of the requirements of trade members, who concentrate the majority of their annual promotion on the expo day.The core of the new expo concept is Sistema Sigep (SIGEP System), a platform for the internationaliza-tion of enterprises in the artisan confectionery tra-de in all the countries in the world that show signs of interest in what has become one of the symbolic Italian-made products.In concrete terms, the facility puts a series of ser-vices and solutions at clients’ disposal. Training workshop will be organized, as well as forms of assi-stance and international desks to support the inter-nationalization process.There are also services for establishing the loca-tions: identification and research, analysis, negotia-tion of rental contracts, a marketplace platform for bringing together supply and demand. Among the fa-cilities, space will be dedicated to financial aspects, with events for training and “customizing” financial services.

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

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

International relations are spot-lighted with Top Buyers from 5 Con-tinents Project. This is a platform in six languages that ensures the opportunity of bringing together supply and demand, which then results, according to a schedule drawn up before the expo, in a pro-gram of business meetings betwe-en trade members from all over the world.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:WORLD OF COFFEE AT RIMINI FIERA IN 2014 During the press conference, Chai-rman Lorenzo Cagnoni officially an-nounced the staging at Rimini Fiera in June 2014 of the World of Coffee. This is the most important travelling international event on coffee, orga-nized in Europe by the SCAE.In the context of the World of Cof-fee, there will also be the World Ba-rista Championship, this year being held in Melbourne from May 23rd to 26th. An exceptional acknowled-gement, an event that will attract the attention of trade members from all over the world to a compe-tition that highlights participants’ professional skills.

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

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

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

O n reaching the mid fifties there are just two possi-bilities: the (admittedly

late) midlife crisis or a powerful restart, cleverly underlining one’s own strengths with a fresh outfit and charmingly convincing with experience and unexpected ideas. “BrauBeviale (*1957) has deci-ded,” assures Andrea Kalrait, the new Director Exhibitions. “We have thoroughly revised the exhibition concept and the supporting pro-gramme. We are, of course, relying on BrauBeviale’s recognized exper-tise as the world’s most important

capital goods exhibition for beve-rage production in 2014 – plus a variety of new features.” The first of these is obvious: in smart natu-ral shades of green, the exhibition in Nürnberg from 11–13 Novem-ber convinces the approx. 33,000 visitors with money to invest with its comprehensive spectrum of pro-ducts from some 1,300 exhibitors of raw materials, technologies, logi-stics and marketing ideas.

But just a new colour concept is de-finitely not enough for the Director Exhibitions, who although new in

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

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

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

within limits. Attractive starter pri-ces for stand spaces up to 36 m² ensure successful exhibiting at ma-nageable cost particularly for small and medium-size firms.

97 % of the exhibitors (45 % inter-national) reached their most impor-tant target groups at BrauBeviale 2012 and 92 % rated their overall success at the exhibition favoura-bly, according to the results of a survey by an independent institu-te. To make sure this continues in 2014 and beyond, not only the pri-ce structure has been simplified. Clearer and better arranged is the motto, which also applies to the reorganization of the product spec-trum along the beverage production process chain:Raw Materials❱ Raw materials and drinks as raw materials

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