FOCUS ON PRESERVING EQUIPMENT

T hirty-year of experience gai-ned through daily contacts with farmers and proces-

sing companies operating in the preparation of vegetables and fruit: these are the conditions that have made Sgorbati Group a firm belie-ver that a comprehensive line of processing can not be made up by machinery and equipment of a sin-gle manufacturer. There are so many variables and elements involved in a production cycle, that every manufacturer ten-ds to specialize in one of the pha-ses that compose it. This is in order not to dilute their experiences and resources in achieving those levels of absolute performance and relia-bility that the market currently de-mands.In view of these considerations, Sgorbati Group was established to combine experience and re-lationships with market leading partners, providing technical advi-ce needed to identify the best

equipment for each job, and sup-plying such equipment complete with the necessary links to compo-se a perfectly integrated and effi-cient system. Whatever the product to work and the state in which it is to be reduced at the end of processing (cooked,

raw, frozen, whole, sliced, in form of sauce or preserve ...), Sgorbati Group, thanks to the freedom from any production constraints, ensu-res the achievement of all the tar-gets set by the customer, both from operational and economical stand point.

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

and manufacturing equipment and machines for fruit and vegetable production. There are three main news items: Pigo’s expansion in the American market; the development of new machines; and the improvement of cutting-edge machines, the Pitting Machine PG 103, and Easy Freeze.

We are also publishing the com-pany’s updated trade show calen-dar.

EXPANSION IN THE AMERICANMARKETPigo plans to further expand in the American market.

The objective for 2014 will be two-fold: to confirm its solid presen-ce in North America and Canada,

culminating with registration in the NWFPA (North West Food Pro-cessors Association) and the FPSA (Food Processing Suppliers Asso-ciation); and to win over the rest of the United States.

Pigo was present in the major trade shows in the U.S., particularly the Chicago Process Expo from Novem-ber 3-6; in Michigan for the Great Lakes Fruit Expo, December 10-12;

and finally, it will be present in Port-land for the 2014 Expo, January 12-14. THE NEW MACHINES; INNOVA-TION IN CUSTOMER SERVICEPigo has developed new machines such as:

EASY Dry SPYRO, the best solu-tion for drying various products.

With similar construction, Easy Dry SPYRO offers the same advan-tages as Easy Freeze SPYRO in terms of hygiene, ease of use, and energy efficiency.

WASHING MACHINE PG 018, is the new washer for fruits and vegeta-bles with an innovative system of nozzles, valves, and filters.

CAULIFLOWER MACHINE PG 415, separates pieces of cauliflower, cutting at the base.

EVOLUTION THROUGH IMPRO-VEMENTAlways looking to improve its

equipment, Pigo has even invested in innovating its cutting-edge ma-chines:

A centralized lubricating system was installed on the PITTING MA-CHINE PG 103, which allows for fast, perfect lubrication.

A new, fast and effective automa-tic-wash system was installed on

the EASY Freeze, allowing for a quick,thorough wash.

The innovative centralized lubrica-ting system was also installed here.

NEW TRADE SHOWS SCHEDULEDPigo added two trade shows to its calender: FRUIT ATTRACTION in Madrid in October; and SEAFOOD PROCESSING BRUSSELS (2014).

I nnovative packages are the key in the fight against food loss and wastage. More effec-

tive barrier layers, germicidal films and freshness indicators are inten-ded to help products to keep for lon-ger and halt consumers’ throwaway mentality. However, despite all these improvements, companies have to keep a constant eye on process ef-ficiency and on costs.In the developing countries, one child in six is undernourished, which amounts to an absolute figure of 100 million. The United Nations (UN) estimates that undernouri-

shment causes the deaths of 2.6 million children under five years old per year. This means that hunger is still one of the biggest scourges of humanity.Yet no one should have to go hungry. Every year some 1.3 billion tonnes of food worldwide ends up in the bin – a conclusion of the current report “Food Wastage Footprint: Impacts on Natural Resources” of the Food

and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO). If food losses were reduced by using food more prudently, famines could be curbed.54 per cent of wasted food, says the report, is lost during production, post-harvest treatment and storage. Particularly badly affected are the poorer countries of Africa and Asia where shortcomings during harve-sting and logistics destroy 6 to 11 kg

FOOD INDUSTRY FOCUSES ON BETTER PACKAGING AND SMARTER PROCESS TECHNOLOGY FOR LESS SPOILAGE

Helping others to help themselves: some years ago, in India, Bosch Packaging mounted packaging machines developed especially for local conditions on trucks in order to demonstrate the advantages of packaged foods to farmers and representa-tives of local authorities.

of food per capita each year. Expo-sed to heat, fruit and milk spoil, and meat is rendered inedible by conta-mination with dangerous germs. On the other hand, wastage during pro-cessing, transport and consumption is more a problem of the industria-lised nations. In Europe and North America, some 100 kg of food is thrown away per person and year al-though it is still fit for consumption.

Demands for a change of attitude are therefore coming from the hi-ghest authorities. At his general au-dience during World Environment Day last June, Pope Francis called for an end to consumerism and the wastage of food.

Central theme of interpack 2014Industry has already got the mes-sage. According to a current study

by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia, suitable packages are capable of reducing food loss considerably. Developers are therefore working hard on new concepts for packaging machines, the related process technology and “smart” packages. A total of 100 companies from the entire food va-lue chain, from production, retailing and packaging through to logistics, are now participating in the SAVE FOOD Initiative, a joint project of the FAO, the United Nations Envi-ronment Programme (UNEP) and Messe Düsseldorf GmbH. Its goal is to foster dialogue between industry, research, the political sphere and civil society on the subject of food loss. Reducing spoilage will also be the central theme at the Innovation-parc Packaging at interpack 2014 in Düsseldorf. Exhibitors at this special show will be presenting their ideas on how food can be protected better from 7 to 14 May 2014. Furthermo-re, during the SAVE FOOD Conferen-ce at Messe Düsseldorf’s Congress Center South on 7 and 8 May, ex-perts from politics, industry and society will be exchanging views on food loss and wastage.The sector has a lot of work ahead of it. Farmers in Africa first have to be convinced that it is better to package their produce at source than to send it off unprotected. It is not high tech that is called for here, but education locally. Representatives of compa-nies like Bosch, for example, therefo-re toured emerging and developing countries with mobile packaging ma-chines some years back in order to demonstrate to farmers the advan-tages of packaged foods.The throwaway mentality of the We-stern world, on the other hand, is even more difficult to combat. Accor-ding to a survey by Berndt + Partner management consultants, 20 to 25 per cent of food in Europe is bin-ned even though it is still fit for con-sumption. One contributory factor is the “best before date” that has to be

Cans to combat wastage: in emerging and developing countries, a great deal of food spoils due to shipment in its unpackaged state after harvesting. Simple anti-spoilage packages like these cans could prevent this. (Photo: Messe Düsseldorf/Tillmann)

printed on all food packages. Once it is reached, food is often thrown away. However, “best before” does not mean that food is no longer edi-ble after this date, but merely that its colour and consistency may chan-ge. The currently still widespread big packs exacerbate the problem. The best before date is often reached before the package contents have been consumed.Smaller, customised packages should help to solve the problem. “In our view, portioned packages for one-person households, for exam-

ple, can help to stem food wastage,” says Christian Traumann, Managing Director of Bavaria packaging spe-cialist MULTIVAC Sepp Haggenmül-ler.

Creative package solutionsReporting continuously on a pro-duct’s state of freshness, time/temperature indicators are another approach in the battle against spoi-lage and waste. The useful thing about them is that they render visi-ble any breaks in the cooling chain, for instance. BASF and the Swiss

Freshpoint company are already pro-ducing labels containing a special pigment which are printed straight onto the package. The colour chan-ges when the contents spoil.Research is also being conducted on active packages that interact with their contents. PET bottles are trea-ted with oxygen absorbers like iron so that oxygen sensitive beverages such as beer and fruit juice keep for longer. Then there are films en-riched with preservatives like sorbic acid that combat germ proliferation on foods. Critics claim that the addi-tional chemicals on active packages impair the products’ natural quality. In their search for a remedy, scien-tists of the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging (IVV) in Freising, Bavaria, are deve-loping antimicrobial materials based on plant extracts, e.g. from rosema-ry. “This way, food manufacturers can go further towards meeting the consumer’s wish for natural, health-promoting products,” says IVV mate-rials developer Sven Sängerlaub.The downside of many food-saving packages, however, is that they are relatively expensive to produce. If, for example, a “stronger” package calls for more material, it uses up

more resources. The sector is therefore trying to offset the expenditure on “smarter” packages by economising elsewhere along the food value chain. The manufacturers of packaging machi-nes therefore endeavour to boost the efficiency of their lines by increasing the degree of auto-mation and optimising their processes.MULTIVAC, for example, offers its customers in-novative technologies that ensure among other things that as little film waste is generated du-ring production as possible, Marketing Manager Valeska Haux explains. This is achieved with the aid of advanced machine tools, she continues, citing cutting tools as examples. The integration of handling modules in the packaging line as well ensures package-by-package quality control for maximum consumer protection, says Haux.“We boost the efficiency and hygiene of our pro-duction lines and prevent waste arising during production,” explains Mathias Dülfer, Managing Director of Weber Maschinenbau. This company specialising in high-performance cutting machi-nes is constantly refining its range of lines. In the latest machines, innovative blade technologies, intuitive operating concepts and an open design ensure ease of operation, good accessibility and inspectability, and simple cleaning. “All this helps to make production even more efficient, more reliable and hence more sustainable,” says Dülfer. Packaging foods more securely and with higher throughput – this is also the aim of Spanish ma-chine manufacturer ULMA Packaging. The com-pany covers all packaging technologies from tubular bag packages to deep-drawing machi-nes. At interpack 2014, the Spanish company will be showing new deep-drawing systems for skin packages, among other things. The main function of this kind of packaging is to extend shelf life while also preventing liquid loss due to evaporation. This retards germ growth.ULMA has also developed a new control for all machine models with user-friendly software. The newly developed control promises “a huge bo-ost to productivity on all systems”, the company claims. The innovations from the manufacturers demonstrate that a whole battery of packaging strategies for preventing food loss is already available. And that they can be realised on the industrial scale at acceptable cost thanks to on-going improvements in the efficiency of the production technology. At interpack from 8 to 14 May, food manufacturers will have the chance to see them for themselves.



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.

FLAVOURS FOR THE FUTURE

FRATELLI PAGANI FP 6/13.indd 3 16/12/13 15.18


I nnovativ zu sein und dabei wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben und die Menschen zu re-

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

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 6/13.indd 3 16/12/13 15.07


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

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.

E xperts for freezing solu-tions from GEA Refrigera-tion North America were

on hand at PROCESS EXPO 2013 to discuss the advantages of carton, spiral, tunnel, and impingement freezer solutions for applications in the food and beverage industry. In addition, other GEA professionals were available to introduce visitors to the company’s broader product line – including ice systems, chil-lers, screw and piston compres-sors, compressor packages, cu-stom-engineered systems, controls, and more.One of the most exciting trends is faster freezing for increased pro-duct quality. If the surface of the product is frozen very quickly, moi-sture is captured inside. In addi-tion, fast freezing avoids formation of large ice crystals, whereas slowly frozen foods lose more moisture while thawing. These are the reasons why GEA Refrigeration Technologies has im-proved its impingement technology. The result: GEA HVF (high-velocity freezer) with its advanced nozzle design. It can quickly and efficiently freeze hamburger patties, thin fish fillets, shrimp, and other flat pro-ducts. In addition to freezing the whole product, such impingement fre-ezers are likewise used for crust freezing. In such cases, it is not critical to assure a deep-frozen pro-duct 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 free-zer that varies its retention time de-pending on product characteristics and weights – e.g., implemented in

the form of GEA I-VRT carton free-zers. These freezers apply variable retention times to achieve high qua-lity in the freezing process without wasting time and energy.Another versatile solution is the GEA Maxi-Stack spiral freezer. It of-fers special benefits when a greater throughput of frozen products is de-sired on a given footprint – or when compact equipment dimensions are specified as criteria for the pro-duction floor.

Faster freezing of flat food products High-velocity freezers (HVF) from GEA Refrigeration Technologies, based on impingement technology, enable the freezing of hamburger patties and other flat food products, as well as crust freezing of a wide range of food products. The throughput time is shorter than with conventional impingement systems. These innovative HVF systems from GEA utilize special high-velocity air nozzles, which ef-

fectively enable fast penetration of the insulating boundary layer of the goods to be frozen, and fast reduc-tion of the temperature at the outer layer.The result is fast freezing of the product surface. Since the freezing process takes place faster than with conventional freezers, this mi-nimizes dehydration losses of the food products. The benefits to food processors include higher food quality, less cellular damage, longer shelf life, shorter freezing time, 10 to 15 % greater production capacity, and greater yields – all with less ener-gy consumption. With its HVF, GEA has raised the concept of impin-gement freezing to a new perfor-mance level and has implemented essential hygiene characteristics: e.g., fully welded seams and sloped unit floors. The GEA HVF freezer is available with one conveyor belt – or, as option, with two belts whose variable speeds can be separately adjusted.

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

Chilling and freezing packa-ged goods inlineWith its two series I-SRT and I-VRT, GEA Refrigeration Technologies of-fers two effective solutions for chil-ling or freezing of packaged foods. These systems enable efficient coo-ling down to required temperatures of food in cartons, in shrink film, or in plastic packages. These systems are designed for uninterrupted ope-ration and are easily integrated into plant logistics systems, since they are fed from conveyor belts. This makes intermediate storage unne-cessary, and the chilling or freezing process fits seamlessly between processing 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 sequential-ly according to the first-in, first-out principle. After the system accepts the packages from the conveyor belt, the SRT unit places them au-tomatically on an empty placement tray, and then positions them into the chilling stream of air. The pro-cess assures sufficient interval to the adjacent trays, to allow effective heat transfer. One positive result is short retention times. After comple-tion of the retention time, the goods are gently transferred to a conveyor belt, where they pass to palletizing and to consignment storage. The I-SRT systems can be designed for output of 1,400 to 13,600 kg/h.The I-VRT systems (VRT = variable single retention time) enable chil-ling or freezing of various products alternatively, since they allow va-riable retention 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 inte-

gration into plant logistics. The GEA I-VRT freezers or chillers are availa-ble for throughput volumes of ap-prox. 4,500 to 41,000 kg/h.

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

to be cleaned efficiently by a CIP system (clean-in-place). The evapo-rator is manufactured in-house with stainless steel tubes and with 0.6 mm aluminum fins.GEA Maxi-Stack offers special be-nefits when increased throughput of frozen products is desired on a given equipment footprint – or when compact building dimensions are being implemented for the pro-duction floor. The option of a snow-removal system allows extended operating time between interrup-tions for defrosting. The recircula-ting CIP option offers highly efficient cleaning and saves water and deter-gent.

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

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

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]

G ranular activated sludge anaerobic technologies represent an effective and

profitable methodology of treatment of wastewaters with a high COD (Che-mical Oxygen Demand) content, al-lowing at the same time the recycle and the energetic valorization of them. These technologies are based on exploitation of a biological process – anaerobic digestion – able to bring down pollutant organic substances contained in these wastewaters, pro-ducing biogas from that it is possible to get electrical and thermal energy. Anaerobic technologies are applica-ble to wastewaters containing clas-ses of organic compound easy bio-degradable (as sugars, starches and

alcohols) as those of chemical-phar-maceutical industry, food and beve-rages industry, distilleries, breweries, sugar refineries, papers mills and to liquid biomasses.

Between technologies employing granular activated sludge, one of the most used is the UASB (Up-flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket). Plants that apply it, called retained biomass and high-flow UASB reactors, con-tain a granular activated sludge bed one or two meters high made up of methanogenic bacteria. Wastewater, pumped from bottom, goes across the bed of bacteria, that, thanks to di-gestion of carbon, can lower the level of COD present in it, producing biogas (a mix of water vapour, carbon dioxi-

de (CO2) and methane). The biogas so obtained is drawn out and piped to a cogeneration engine that produces electrical and thermal energy. Treated water, with a low content of COD, can be recycled in the production process or discharged into surface waters, if necessary after application of further treatments for reduction of other pol-lutants or of remaining COD. Granular sludge anaerobic technolo-gies help the pursuit of the main aims of EU BREFs (Best available techni-ques REFence documents): maxi-mization of recycled water amount, reduction of wastes produced (mini-mization of muds production in com-parison with aerobic technologies), increase of recycle process’ power

efficiency. TECAM, company operating in the field of industrial primary and waste waters treatment, is able to realize systems of treatment combining dif-ferent technologies on the base of an evaluation of relation between envi-ronmental and economical benefits of each technological choice. In the case of UASB technology applica-tion, the system of treatment has to be designed with the aim to optimize energy production from it, by a care-ful analysis of the wastewater’s cha-racteristics.

UASB REACTOR FUNCTIONING

FACTORS LIMITING ANAEROBIC TREATMENTS APPLICATION AND RESOLVING PRE-TREATMENTS Extension of granular sludge anaero-bic technologies application to diffe-rent types of wastewaters has been possible not so much due to improve-ments made to anaerobic processes themselves, but rather owing to the match of pretreatments aimed to re-move from wastewaters substances that inhibit methanogenic bacteria action, such as:❱ suspended solids;❱ ammonia nitrogen; ❱ salts in high concentration;❱ COD in very high or very low concen-trations.Presence of suspended solids and ammonia nitrogen and high salts concentration prevent methanogenic bacteria survival. Suspended solids

can be removed through a flotation or a sedimentation process; ammo-nia nitrogen through stripping, preci-pitation or selective separation; high salts concentration by wastewater dilution. Too low temperatures as well don’t allow methanogenic bacteria action. This problem can be overco-me heating the plant, but this choi-ce isn’t of course always convenient from economical point of view.Anaerobic digestion has an efficient application on wastewaters with COD values from 2.000 to 20.000 ppm (the ideal value is 8.000 ppm). Of course, higher is COD content of wastewaters, bigger is biogas and then energy quantity generable by the digestion process (0,35 m3/h of methane for each kg of COD). If COD level is too low it’s possible opt for a concentration of wastewater, if too high for a dilution.

APPLICATIONS CLEANING WATERS OF PET PLASTIC AND GLASS Normally washing waters of PET pla-stic and glass from differentiated wa-stes collection are treated only with solids separators (sedimentators, flotators): because of the high values of COD remaining in water so treated, it’s not possible reintroduce in the washing cycle more of 20-25% of it. Amount of the water reusable is then very low and the COD content of the rest of water to treat is considerable (for example, for a plant able to wash 1.500 Kg/h of PET, pollutant load is of 1.500-2.000 Kg/day of COD).An anaerobic treatment of wastewa-ter applied after suspended solids separation treatment allows a lo-wering of COD load, with considera-ble environmental and economical benefits as the increase of recycled water (from 20-25% to 90-95%), the reduction of residual COD quantity (from 1.500-2.000 Kg/day to less of 500 Kg/day for the case considered) in wastewaters to send to following depuration treatments and the valo-rization of treated wastewater thanks

to production of biogas, from that it is possible generate electrical energy (about 150 kWh in the case consi-dered), factors that permit to speed up Return On Investment of the tre-atment system.LEACHATE FROM MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTESQuali-quantitative characteristics of leachate produced in a munici-pal solid wastes landfill – besides to be influenced by the wastes nature, collection ways and potential pre-treatments as selection, shredding, compaction – undergo in the course of time noteworthy variations in rela-tion to the evolution of biological pro-cesses happening in wastes during landfill management. In general, af-ter a starting period of aerobic degra-dation, occur next phases:

1)acid fermentation, during which leachate is characterized from:❱ an acidic pH (because of high con-centrations of volatile fatty acids): 5-6;❱ high concentrations of BOD5 (be-cause of a strong presence of organic acids): > 15.000 mg/l;❱ high values of the proportion BOD5/COD: > 0,7;❱ high concentrations of ammonia: 500-1.000 mg/l;❱ high concentrations of heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Mg, Zn, Ca), since acidic pH conditions favour solubilization;❱ high concentrations of inorganic ions (Cl-, S042-, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+);2)unstable methanogenic fermen-tation, during which occur methano-

TECAM FP 6/13.indd 4 23/12/13 13.54


genic bacteria growth, characterized from following phenomena:❱ diminution of sulphates concentra-tion by biological reduction;❱ progressive conversion of fatty acids;❱ progressive increase of pH and alkalinity;❱ diminution of solubility of heavy metals (that can be precipitated as sulphides);❱ release of ammonia (that it’s not converted from anaerobic process): l.000-3.000 mg/l;3) stable methanogenic fermenta-tion, during which leachate is cha-racterized from:❱ pH near to neutrality;❱ relatively low BOD5 concentrations;❱ very low values of the proportion BOD5/COD: 0,05-0,07 after 15-20 years;❱ significant ammonia concentra-tions: >3.000 mg/l;❱ low concentrations of heavy metals; ❱ low concentrations of total dissol-ved solids.❱ Landfill leachate in general rea-ches maximum pollutant load values during the first and the second year of running, period after that they progressively decrease. This trend is registered in organic (COD, BOD, TOC) and microbiological pollution parameters and in the presence of inorganic ions.In conclusion municipal solid wastes leachate presents an inorganic load constituted by high concentrations of ammonium (1.000 - 3.000 ppm) and chlorides (1.000 - 5.000 ppm) and by the presence of different ions (zinc, lead, etc.). These substances can inhibit for different reasons biogas generation of the normal anaerobic fermentation processes of municipal solid wastes or of a granular sludge anaerobic treatment of leachate in a third party platform. Also in this case TECAM suggests a pre-treatment of leachate with membranes techno-logies (ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis) permits to obtain a wastewater with an high COD and a

low nitrogen and salts load, ideal for the anaerobic digestion in a granular sludge reactor. Concentrated coming out from membranes treatment, rich in nitrogen, can as well be valorized as fertilizer.

DIAGRAM OF APPLICATION OF UASB TECHNOLOGY TO LEACHATE RECYCLE

BENEFITS AND DISADVANTAGES OF ANAEROBIC TREATMENTS: The main benefits of anaerobic tre-atments in comparison with aerobic ones are:❱ low power consume and energy pro-duction: an anaerobic reactor brings down about 90% of inflow COD wi-thout power consume, rather produ-cing biogas;

❱ reduction of wastes produced: ana-erobic treatment produces about a tenth of quantity of muds produced from aerobic systems, with conse-quent lowering of their disposal costs;❱ maximization of recycled water amount;❱ optimization of aerobic treatments: anaerobic pre-treatment of wastewa-ter increases its global biodegradabi-

lity, allowing to aerobic finishing sec-tion to commit itself to abatement of more biorefractory species.

The main disadvantages are:❱ plants dimensions (an UASB reac-tor can reach an height of 8 meters);❱ possible need of further depuration of water by a finishing treatment prior to discharge.

I n spite of the current econo-mical crisis, the food industry market continues to be extre-

mely dynamic and we can see how new production units are still reali-zed. It is important in this context to have highly experienced companies in the field of food processing plants to rely on.Established in 1881 Sordi Impianti is a guarantee of reliability and com-petence, being in the field of food processing plants since over a cen-tury. Sordi Impianti was among the first companies in the world to pro-pose indirect UHT milk processing plants, both plate “Steriplak-S” and tubular type “Steriplak-T”. UHT plants are equipped with asep-tic tanks suitable for the most diffe-rent food products.The process capacities of Sordi drink milk plants, may vary from small size units (milk units at the farm) to high capacity processing lines, with highly sophisticated automation le-vels. Sordi plants for drink milk cover the whole range of equipment from milk reception, storage and pasteu-

rization until the chemical cleaning CIP units.“Steriplak” is an extremely reliable and versatile UHT unit equipped with a set of safety devices enabling the production of sterile and safe food products.Steriplak-T (tubular) main advanta-ges are: ❱ Fully-welded product contacting surfaces❱ Easy inspection of product and media sides❱ High pressure stability❱ High heat regeneration❱ Process flexibility both for pro-ducts with and without particles ❱ Similar speeds of product and he-ating media with reduced product exposure to thermal stress ❱ High reliability ❱ Low maintenance costs ❱ Competitive priceThe tubular exchangers use the cor-rugated pipes technology. Because of the corrugation, the heat exchange yield is increased, enabling in this way: ❱ Reduction of the contact time of

product to be processed (higher organoleptic quality of the final pro-duct) ❱ Reduction of the product holding time inside the exchanger (higher nutritional quality of the final pro-duct) ❱ Possibility to work at high pressu-res and temperatures❱ Reduction of the cleaning times thanks to the higher mechanical action, generated by turbulenceThe key point of “Steriplak-S” (pla-te) is represented by the plate heat exchanger whose main charateri-stics are: ❱ High heat exchange efficiency. The advantage of the heat exchanger is given by the very large exchange surfaces and coefficients even with small Delta-values ❱ High turbulence condition ❱ Versatility. An increase of capaci-ty on the same unit is obtained by simple plates addition❱ High level of hygiene of the plate exchanger as all its parts are easily reachable for visual inspection. www.sordi.com

W hat happened in food industry?Now there are two main methods of giving food for people-homemade & restaurants

and industrial food production. Restaurant food made from the same components as industrial one but much more attractive and innovative.Why not to make industrial food so much attractive and surprising as restaurant?For that technology at food plants should be flexible and technologists should be innovative as chiefs. Restau-rants surprise customers every day-food factories may have the same ability.So excited with this idea we made creative complex for innovative snacks production which is used successfully in many plants in EU, Russia, Ukraine, Pakistan...The target customers are sweets, bakery, confectionary producers, dairy, cheese and ice-cream plants, meat, fish, salads, chicken, snacks, convenience food, vege-tables, pizza and frozen foods producers. So all food plants worldwide who make industrial packaged ready or semi-ready food.That Neofood line consists of modu-les which can be used as a separate machines for pro-duction of old-style products.For example Intelestamp can be used for production of centerfilled balls and bars from nougat, gingerbread

dough, halva, meat, cheese... Many customers still want to use the machines just as ordinary forming machines to upgrade their existing lines.We advertise that machines in Classified for certain ap-plication. But always remind customers that in future these blocks can be united to obtain combined products – so system upgradeable.

In this issue we will talk about a very innovative company: just a look at their videos and one can realize that - http://www.youtube.com/user/neofoodde.

The countries and companies which started their cooperation with us in due time took the most advanta-ge by manufacturing sweet cheese curd thus boosting their sales for several times which triggered to ge-nerating more and more income. Doctors hold the view that the most

worthwhile thing about cheese curd is that, this product pos-sesses numerous advan-tages. It has a very deli-cate taste. It is healthy and contains a lot of calcium. During the last several years che-ese curds have been so popular that this pro-duct has become an inte-gral part of a daily ration of children.

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.

The FCHR Consortium› WIXTA INDUSTRIES, as Project Coordinator and first proposer of the FCHR technology › FENCO, the industrial partner ma-nufacturing food processing plants › ELECTRICARS, company located in Malta, responsible for electro-nics and control system, of the re-actor › EPLEBLOMSTEN, Norwegian pro-ducer of apple juices, › GLENILEN FARM, Irish dairy indu-strie

› The research of the FCHR project will be carried out with the support of the RTD performers University College of Cork, Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata and La-bor Srl.

The Project ObjectivesIn FCHR project we propose the implementation of an integrated pasteurizing and homogenizing system for fluid foods based on an alternative approach induced only by mechanical means: controlled

hydrodynamic cavitation, which consists in the generation of huge amounts of energy in the form of shock waves, due to the turbulen-ce produced in a fluid by pressure fluctuations. This means that the pasteurisation process can be carried out at low temperature preserving the nutritio-nal content and quality of food The growing need for innovation ad-dressed by the project is mainly rela-ted to the customers’ need for novel, more efficient and more sustainable

FCHR: Fluid foods pasteurizer and homogenizer based on Centrifugal Hydrocavitation Reactor

Reactor simulations, FCHR small scale prototype CAD design and photo of the prototype.

T he FCHR project, submitted in the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Commission under the ‘Research for the Benefit of SMEs’ call on 6th December 2011 has received funding from the Re-search Executive Agency and officially started on 1st September 2012.

WIXTA Industries Srl and FENCO SPA are glad to announce that the first lab scale prototype for the FCHR pasteurization and homogenization process has been implemented and the tests on milk and juices started.

FCHR FP 3/13.indd 3 16/12/13 13.08


food treatment processes › This innovative FCHR process thus aims at bringing the following advan-tages to the dairy and the Food & Drink EU companies:› Preservation of food quality : being the process carried out prac-tically without heating the product, the organoleptic aspects will be pre-served › Energy saving: in terms of electri-cal power and calories with respect to the actual milk and juices proces-sor;› High scalability: the system will be easily scalable, with potential for use of parallel reactors with flow rates of several thousand liters per hour.

Our preliminary results As a conclusion of the first period of the project, we are proud to an-nounce that the preliminary FCHR prototype for laboratory tests on the microbiological and chemical/physi-cal properties of the processed food has been designed and implemen-ted. This R&D activity carried out in the first 9 months of the project

implementation was supported by the parallel work of the Italian RTD performer UTV (Università degli stu-di di Roma Tor Vergata), which deve-loped a numerical model for simu-lating the fluid-dynamics inside the reactor, and a parametric 3D model of the conceptual geometrical featu-res of the reactor. This allowed the Consortium to adapt the existing designs available to the Project Coordinator Wixta, ta-king into account the specifications setup with the industrial partners at the very beginning of the project.This led to a new, food-oriented de-sign of the reactor constituting the core of the prototype. The prototype, assembled and pre-tested by the Italian performer LABOR, is now placed in Cork, at the School of Food and Nutritional Science Department of the Universi-ty College, where the RTD performer UCC will carry out preliminary tests on milk and juices.The main objective of the tests ses-sions which are currently under de-velopment in Cork is that of trying

different operative conditions for the pasteurization and homogeniza-tion process and to acquire informa-tion from the analyses potentially guiding the design of the final indu-strial FCHR prototype, expected at the end of the project. The tests will also permit to perform evaluations on the FCHR machine efficiency in processing high protein and high viscosity fluid foods, and to assess this innovative technology both from a technical and en economical point of view.

Next steps of the FCHRprojectFrom June 2013 on, the FCHR Con-sortium will be involved in a conti-nuative tests activity, supporting and driving the final design of the re-actor which is expected in February 2014, together with the simulation work that will suggest modifications or improvements of the reactor sha-pe and geometry enhancing the pasteurization and homogenization processes for different types of fluid foods.

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.

T he company B.S. srl ma-nufactures and offers the market the new food slicers

AVN140 multislices and AVM250 for bacon, designed and built to depo-sit the sliced product (cheese, ham, cooked ham, speck and other cured meats, cooked meat, vegetables, fish) with a thickness ranging from 0.5 mm to 15 mm.AVN140, the smallest of the series, has an area of cutting of 125mm x 125mm suitable for cutting small calibers such as those used for san-dwiches or rolls. Although very com-pact and easy to handle, the machi-ne achieves very high cutting speeds always ensuring a perfect storage, with the multislices mode too. The loading of the product, in various lengths, is performed continuously and in succession in the cluster. The sliced product is deposited directly on toast, bread, cakes, pizzas, trays that will be moving continuously or rhythmic pace.The machine is also equipped with an innovative system that allows a rapid and complete sanitation, wi-thout using any tools.AVM250, mainly suitable for pizza, mortadella and product of large size, reaches sizes up to 250mm x 600mm. The standard AVM250 was renewed for cutting slices of bacon with an output of 160 cuts per minu-te on 2 rows. Each cut slice will be subsequently divided into two parts, then to obtain a total of 640 pieces perfectly aligned on the conveyor belt. To ensure high precision of the thickness of the slice, the two shear zones will be managed independen-tly by a proper engine and from the

operator panel you can adjust diffe-rent heights. On the same line can be connected to each other more slicers, this allows to align the me-chanism of the two machines and thus have product rows perfectly in series.The loading of the product takes pla-ce continuously and in succession in the cluster.On all BS slicers, while maintaining the same characteristics, it is also possible to install a ribbon to achie-ve the “portions” with amounts of slices to be chosen that can be sta-cked or staggered by a programma-ble distance. The ribbon becomes

very useful if you want to deposit more slices on a sandwich, or to prepare the trays with a specific amount of product.All operations can be programmed and stored in order to be able to draw in the shortest possible time data related to a processing pre-viously executed. Finally, the machi-nes are presented ductile thanks to the wheels of which are equipped that allow adaptability to different lines in a short time.

NEWS IN SHORT IN SHORT

R ademaker are specialists in sheeting technology which provides important

benefits above the traditional bread system. Sheeting makes it possible to handle a great variety of dough types, from ‘green’ to pre-fermen-ted dough, all at high capacities. By using stress-free dough sheeters and laminating technology, users can achieve basically any dough and bread structure desired. The Rademaker Crusto breadline con-cept allows users to combine tra-ditional bread types with artisan bread types, all produced on one sheeting system.Baguettes, both basic French ba-guettes and artisan looking baguet-tes produced out of prefermented dough and containing a high water %, can be produced by in two ways on the Rademaker Crusto bread line:

� Cut baguettes: After shee-ting, the dough is shaped in

rows by rotating knives or guillotine. Here the baguettes are cut at the desired length. Besides cut baguet-tes, this method is also suitable for ciabatta, triangles, square buns, hexagonal, cut baguettes, cut petit pain, barra rustica, flatbreads, pita and even pizza.

�Rolled baguettes: After the sheeting stage sheeting, the

dough shaped in rows by rotating knives and is cut at the desired length using the guillotine. Next,Rademaker’s moulding technology is applied to roll and shape the dough. Other products beside rol-led baguettes can be produced in this way, f.e. rolled petit pain, bar-ra rustica, free standing bread, tin bread, toast bread (open & closed top, 4 pieces), brioche and rolls.

RADEMAKER BREAD LINE BAGUETTE PRODUCTION

RADEMAKER FP 6/13.indd 3 02/01/14 16.44


The Rademader Crusto bread line is capable to handle capacities up to 6.000 kg/hr. The standard Ra-demaker Crusto bread line can cut 85 strokes/minute, ending up with 10.000 half baguettes or 5.100 long baguettes per hour. Special bread lines can produce up to 30.000 baguettes/hour, at 125 strokes/minute. Rademaker can guarantee an impressive weight accuracy on the baguette produc-tion; +/- 2,5 - 3% (+/-5 gram) on the total product weight. An even

higher weight accuracy is achieved by Rademaker’s patented weighing conveyor which can run up to +/- 1,5%.The structure of the baguette, which is of course very important for bakers, is achieved through the Rademaker Moulding technology. The moulding table transfers dou-gh slaps or pre-rolled slaps into consistent, smooth rolled dough products at the required diame-ter and length. The slaps are first coiled by a pre-moulding unit. This

unit also ensure that the rolled slaps enter the moulding board in a straight alignment. The upper moulding belt guides the products to the guiding strips. This shaping method imitates the hands of the baker when he smoothes the seam and stretches the dough. The gui-ding strips contacts the product ends and calibrates the final length of the product. The Rademaker Moulding Board is able to process products between 1 ounce (30gr) and 5 pounds (2.3kg).

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

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.

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.”

FEFCO INTRODUCES NEW FACE: MR CORRUGATED

THE CLASSICAL TASTE OF ITALIAN OIL ENCOUNTERS TECHNOLOGY

PROEXPORT COLOMBIA AND OTHER EXHIBITORS PRESENT THEMSELVES AT FRUIT LOGISTICA 2013

FEFCO, the umbrella organisation of the European Cor-rugated Board Industry, is launching an impactful ad-vertising campaign this spring to reinforce perceptions about the many benefits of corrugated packaging. The campaign is be fronted by ‘Mr Corrugated’, an anima-ted character made from corrugated board. The aim is to engage key influencers on an emotional as well as rational level. Print and video executions emphasise the vast array of advantages associated with corrugated packaging, including its recyclability, its renewability, its versatility and its popularity with shoppers. As well as introducing ‘Mr Corrugated’, the campaign will also drive interested parties back to the organisation’s “Corruga-ted of Course” website (www.corrugated-ofcourse.eu), which brings together the latest news and stories from

across the supply chain to highlight how corrugated packaging can bring value in all areas. Ben Blyden-stein, Marketing and Environment Di-rector at FEFCO, comments:“Our industry’s corrugated packaging solutions have many benefits: they minimise waste by protecting pro-ducts on their journey through the supply chain. They reduce the costs of logistics and handling and sell the products they display. All this is achieved using a fully renewable and recyclable material. Also corrugated bo-ard’s adaptability means that it’s a great material to innovate with. Our challenge is to get these messages across clearly. With ‘Mr Corrugated’ we have a fun, im-pactful and appealing way of achieving this.”

The MONINI oil mill has been bottling and marketing high quality extra-virgin olive oil in Italy’s and the Mediterra-nean’s major production areas for 3 generations. In the Poggiolo mill, the company is committed to developing the culture of extra-virgin olive oil, raising awareness, exa-mining and controlling all the parameters of the produc-tion chain: from the selection of the plants to grow to the verification and adaptation of harvesting, processing, and pressing methods. Over the past few years, P.E. LABEL-LERS has supplied the Monini oil mill with three cold glue labelling machines for their 8,000, 18,000 and 10,000 bph lines. The P.E. LABELLERS cold glue units stand out for their cutting edge structural and conceptual features: sturdiness, durability, reliability, thanks to the widespread use of low wear materials and almost no maintenance required. Besides the cold glue stations, the last labelling machine, supplied in 2012, is equipped with three adhe-sive stations, out of which one is for applying the U-sha-ped seal. The installed adhesive stations are among the most advanced available on the market. All parameters can be adjusted from the control panel with the possibility to store up to 200 different labels.

T he news came just a few days ago: the Mini Motor production department rol-

led out the first geared motor with a six-zero code. Company founder Gianfranco Franceschini, along with his children Andrea, Lorella and Marco – all employed in the family company – received with well-de-served satisfaction the news of a production goal that in the constant daily flow of work came almost by surprise.The first instinctive reaction is to cor-relate the number 1,000,000 with the years of activity of Mini Motor, which began business in 1974: the Emilia-based company has thus pro-duced one million geared motors on the eve of its fortieth anniversary.

Apart from the simple numerical data, certainly significant for a small-medium sized company, this result inevitably leads us to reflect on the business values that have made it possible to achieve. Values that still today are identified in the quality of construction that starts with the choice of materials, in the precision that ensures reliable operation of the geared motors over time, and in the efficiency that makes it possible to achieve the best service thanks to excellent performance features combined with low consumption.Added to these values, which are effectively illustrated in the recen-tly released “Mini Motor corporate video”, is a fourth that responds to the concept of customisation. An-

drea Franceschini, Mini Motor ex-port manager, stated in this regard that the main objective of Mini Mo-tor – as well as the main reason for its decades of success in Italy and abroad – has always been supplying tailor-made products able to satisfy special requirements in terms of dimensions, the severity of the ap-plication, and extreme temperature conditions; in short, anything that goes beyond the standard offer of the market.

SO WE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY OF THE UPCOMING HOLIDAY SEASON TO EXTEND “A MILLION BEST WISHES” TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS FOR A POSITIVE 2014 TOGETHER WITH MINI MOTOR.

MINI MOTOR “STARTS AGAIN FROM ONE MILLION”.On the eve of its 40th anniversary, the Emilia-based company has just produced its one millionth geared motor.

Dairy production - seamlessly integrated, universally suc-cessfulSeamless interaction of dairy produc-tion-related processes is vital to suc-cessful operations. We can provide you with complete dairy technology solutions to meet your production requirements - from milk reception to finished goods, from field level to the ERP level. This breadth of dairy production expertise ensures that your dairy workflow achieves perfect quality with increased flexibility and at reduced costs

Efficient dairy operations with sophisticated engineering toolsOur SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system provides advanced engine-ering tools for dairies and cheese makers that allow you to meet all technological requirements of the dairy process. In addition to stan-dard functions, our tools handle dai-ry industry-specific functions in an

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 OptimizedPackaging 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.

F ood processors can now better meet product in-spection needs of larger

individual products or packages, as well as filled cases, with a new X-ray system designed specifically for de-tecting metal, glass, dense plastics and other foreign objects in large food packaging.The Thermo Scientific Xpert C600 X-ray system features a 50 percent larger aperture and wider X-ray beam than that found on the pre-viously-launched Thermo Scientific C400. The 22-inch wide by 10-inch tall apertu-re enables larger food products that do not fit through standard X-ray machines to be exami-ned for contaminants or inspected for mis-sing or damaged pie-ces. Examples include larger diameter pizzas (individual or stacked in multipacks), bagged or cartoned items, bulk packages and/or those already placed in corru-gated cases. “This larger aperture unit addresses seve-ral market needs. For example, some food processors prefer end-of-line detection be-cause after a product is sealed and cased it can no longer be con-

taminated. Also, with many brand owners supplying larger-sized items to big box stores and warehouse clubs, the Xpert C600 gives them a way to meet retailer-mandated inspection requirements,” said Bob Ries, lead product manager, me-tal detection and X-ray inspection, Thermo Fisher Scientific. “The new Xpert C600 reflects Ther-mo Fisher’s continual investment in product inspection enhancements designed to meet customer needs.”The system can analyze an X-ray

image to estimate weight and fill or determine whether a packaged item has missing objects. Its highly-sensitive detectors are available in 0.8mm resolution, and its suite of algorithms is desi-gned to find small contaminants in complex images with few, if any, false rejects. The Xpert C600 also features a high power 160W X-ray source for better penetration of lar-ge objects.The unit’s flexible software design also allows up to eight lanes to be

simultaneously fed through the aperture to maximize throu-ghput and reduce cost of inspection. Like its predecessor model, the Thermo Scientific Xpert C600 is designed to run around the clock in harsh en-vironments with less maintenance and fewer repairs than other sy-stems. It operates over a wide 5° to 40° C temperature range and is available in both IP54 and IP65 dust and wa-shdown ratings. Becau-se of its modular design and built-in remote sup-port capability, techni-cians can troubleshoot and service the system quickly, minimizing ex-pensive downtime.

PACKAGINGLABELLING WEIGHING

T hree decades have passed since in the early 80’s, in a small factory located on the

outskirts of Schio, two eager and enthusiastic engineers began to try their hand at used packaging machi-nes, with a view to restoring them to an acceptable working condition.This operation was called an overhaul, a term which has now gone out of use in today’s “disposa-ble” world. It was exactly this con-stant disassembling, replacing, mo-difying and testing of old machinery that led to the decision to create new and modern machines. In 1985 the first packaging machines of the newly established Tecno Pack were introduced on the market, imme-diately enjoying great appreciation among the clientele.Thus began the company’s long journey, focused on responding promptly and professionally to the ever more demanding needs of the market, advancing with courage and determination down the challen-ging road of automatic packaging

systems. These were years of com-mitment, sacrifice and constant re-search, but also great satisfaction and growth. In the meantime, Tecno Pack moved to a new headquarters in the Schio industrial zone, an area better suited for the company’s evol-ving and growing logistic production needs.Since 2011 the continuity of our work is ensured in a new 6000 m² site also situated in the traditio-nally hard-working town of Schio, industrially nicknamed “the little Manchester of Italy” since the se-cond half of the nineteenth century. Machine after machine, system af-ter system the story continues, ine-vitably entwined with professional and personal affairs without, howe-ver, affecting the company’s ideo-logical continuity which has been guaranteed over time by constant in-vestment and commitment in rese-arch and innovation, the solid gene-sis of success which led Tecno Pack to qualify as a full-fledged market le-ader. Tecnopack is pleased to inform that during IBA 2012 it is presenting

the vertical pillow-pack machines on completion of its already wide range of machinery.

T ashkent, Uzbekistan: Star-linger has supplied the equipment for the first

complete PET recycling project in Uzbekistan, installed by Uzbek recycler Geleon Link. The Tashkent-based company has purchased a Starlinger recoSTAR PET 125 HC iV+ recycling line (in-cluding a viscoSTAR 120 SSP unit) for processing post-consumer wa-shed and dried PET bottle flakes. The line has a total output capacity of around 8,000 t/y. The recycled food-grade PET material is destined mainly for the domestic market.

STARLINGER DELIVERS PET RECYCLING LINE FOR PIONEER PROJECT IN UZBEKISTAN

STARLINGER FP 6/13.indd 3 16/12/13 16.01


Food-grade rPET with the characteristics of virgin resin The recoSTAR PET 125 HC iV+ line produces food-grade regranulate suitable for various applications. The recycling/decontamination pro-cess fulfills FDA/EFSA and brand owner requirements and delivers rPET with ultra-low VOC and AA con-tent (< 1 ppm). Constant residence times and FIFO processing during pre-heating ensure ideal prepara-tion for the extrusion process. The high-vacuum degassing extruder reduces viscosity loss during extru-sion and purifies the melt from vola-tile contamination. During the continuous solid state polycondensation process in the inline vacuum SSP reactor the vi-scosity of the PET pellets is increa-sed to the desired level. The special FIFO design of the reactor ensures that each individual pellet under-goes uniform treatment during the chosen residence time to achieve the viscosity and decontamination levels required for food-contact ap-plications.

Producing locally instead of importing While in Western Europe the instal-led rPET production capacity alrea-dy starts to exceed the market vo-lume, Eastern European countries, where plastic recycling activities are only getting on their way now, are beginning to recognize the po-tential that lies in using secondary materials – or waste products – to replace primary materials. In addi-tion, the Geleon Link project also fits into the framework of the so-called “Policy of Localisation” Uz-bekistan is currently pursuing: To reduce the spending of valuable foreign currencies for importing go-ods, the government supports bu-sinesses which manufacture such goods locally. In the case of PET granulate, Uzbekistan is importing around 70,000 tons a year at an average price of US$ 2,000/ton1.

To produce part of this quantity within the country creates a huge savings potential in hard-earned fo-reign currencies. With their project, Geleon Link is a pioneer on the Uz-bek recycling market and not only contributes to waste reduction and environment protection, but also helps to create new jobs and incre-ase the productivity of the domestic economy.

About Starlinger recycling technology A division of Starlinger & Co GmbH, world market leader in the field of machinery and complete lines for woven plastic packaging produc-

tion, Starlinger recycling techno-logy provides machinery solutions for the recycling and refining of a wide scope of plastics such as PE, PP, PA, PS, BOPP and PET. Starlin-ger PET recycling systems produce food-safe rPET and are approved for use in food applications by many brand owners as well as various na-tional and international authorities. The worldwide sales and servi-ce support network as well as the technical consulting service help customers to achieve optimum re-sults in the manufacturing process. In 2012 Starlinger celebrates 25 years since the installation of the first recycling lines.

Further performance benefits are achie-ved through the enhanced position of the scarfplate on the infeed. Mounted to the edge of the drum, the scarf now better directs the product into the spraying and fla-vouring area, providing high quality seasoning performance. Additional-ly, the newly designed scalloped in-feed conveyor allows more product to enter the seasoning drum, while also helping to control product di-rection for greater accuracy and re-duced waste. Also on-stand was the tna robag® FX 3ci high speed VFFS packaging machine, which offers unmatched

throughput rates of up to 150bpm on potato chips, and is suitable for high volumes of a wide variety of other products. With innovative new features inclu-ding the new tna intelli-weigh® 0314 omega multi-head scale, the tna hyper-detect® metal detector and tna flo-thru former®, the tna robag® FX 3ci provides manufacturers with up to 30 per cent improvement in performance.tna’s experts presented the com-pany’s innovative horizontal motion conveyor, the tna roflo® HM 3. This conveyor benefits from total control of speed and direction to ensure optimal performance, and smoothly distributes goods to minimise los-ses and breakages. Particularly suited to heavy coated products, as seasoning does not build up on the pans, the tna roflo® HM 3 has an easy-to-clean design

to ensure that manufacturers com-ply with strict HACCP and QA stan-dards, deliver the highest quality products and reduce waste. tna also highlighted its controls sy-stem expertise by demonstrating the integration of tna’s equipment into a production line.

L eading polyolefins additives supplier Milliken will greet K 2013 visitors with a full

package of value-adding product inno-vations and services focused around the industry’s priority themes of cla-rity & aesthetics, productivity impro-vement, property optimization, and sustainability. Milliken’s additive solutions on-show at K 2013 embrace the performance and productivity requirements of pla-stics processors, offering outstanding optical and physical properties balan-ced with productivity increases and energy efficiency for injection molded, blow molded and extruded polyolefin-based applications. They advance low temperature processing and set new benchmarks in the aesthetics and performance of polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE), contribute to new opportunities for inter-material replacement, enable lighter weight parts, and promote more sustainable end-applications based on advanced polyolefins. “Sustainability is a key driver across Milliken’s portfolio,” comments Allen Jacoby, Business Manager, Plastics Additives Milliken. “Customers using Milliken additives can save material, save energy, save time and save mo-ney, all while achieving high quality end products. In addition, the assu-rance of reliable supply and technical support helps our customers maximi-ze their processes and applications. Processors, designers and brand ow-ners attending K 2013 will get a va-luable insight into the exciting possi-bilities generated by our cutting-edge development, for applications from food storage containers and beverage cups to interior automotive compo-nents.”

Products representing these bene-fits at K 2013 will include: Millad® NX™ 8000 and NX 8500E clarifying agents for PP; Hyperform® HPN 68L, HPN-20E and HPN-600ei nucleating agents for PP; Hyperform HPN-20E nucleating agent for PE; and Hyper-form HPR-803i reinforcing agent.

Combining energy savings with excellent transparency: Millad NX 8000 clarifying agent for PPThe rapid conversion of 70% of the clarified polypropylene market to Mil-lad NX 8000, considered to be the clarifier of choice for new transparent PP applications, indicates the high value placed on its ability to deliver productivity improvements of up to 18%, energy savings of up to 13% and 10% reductions in carbon dioxi-de emissions, in addition to giving a fresher, cleaner look to PP-based ap-plications.The clarifying innovation fi-nally makes it possible for PP parts to be made with optical properties until now only as-sociated with more glass-like polymers such as polycarbo-nate, crystal polystyrene, and acrylics. With its lower densi-ty, PP provides a solution that is less costly and with a lower carbon footprint—in short, more sustainable. Polystyrene is already being replaced by PP containing Millad NX 8000 for thermoformed food containers and cups for cold drinks, while some coffee blenders are now using new PP grades instead of polycarbonate.Supporting the general trend towards higher-flow and faster-

processing grades of PP, the solubi-lity of Millad NX 8000 in PP is far better than previous generations of clarifying agents. This is especially im-portant in the production of housewa-res and thin walled products, where processors are constantly searching for productivity improvements.Over the three years since K 2010, Milliken has been focusing on helping converters to process polypropylenes clarified with Millad NX 8000 at lower temperatures to improve productivity and save energy. It has also been wor-king closely with specifiers to achieve their sustainability targets by repla-cing materials like polystyrene as well as PET and PC, and it has also been working with resin producers on new developments in high MFR PP injec-tion molding grades.Millad NX 8500E is a variant of NX 8000 that has been fine-tuned for extrusion-blow molding (EBM)

polypropylene applications. Use of Millad NX 8500E can simplify produc-tion of multilayer bottles for example, since the same grade of PP can now be used for the outer layer and for the inner layer. The special formulation of Millad NX 8500E helps improve gloss on the inside and outside of bottles. This is an important feature for pro-ducts such as bottles for shampoos and detergents, where brand owners strive to have their products stand out on the shelves. ClearTint® polymeric dyes from Milli-ken are an ideal complement to Millad clarifying agents. Unlike more conven-tional dyes, they are non-extractable and suitable for food contact applica-tions. Nor do they affect part shrinka-ge, which can be a problem with pig-ments often used in polyolefins.

Improving productivity and optimizing properties: nuclea-ting agents for PPHyperform is the first family of nucle-ating agents for PP that directs ba-lanced orientation in processed parts resulting in excellent dimensional sta-bility, improved physical properties, and reduced warpage and shrinkage. As a result it addresses many of the critical processing, part-consistency, and physical property issues facing manufacturers. In addition, the effect of Hyperform nucleating agents on PP crystallization temperature results in up to 15% increase in productivity for convertors. Easy to use, Hyperform products disperse well, even in high melt flow resins where traditional nu-cleation technologies may not.At K 2013, Milliken will demonstrate the benefits of its Hyperform nucle-ating agents as more effective and cost-efficient alternatives to additives such as talc and sodium benzoate. Hyperform HPN-600ei offers oppor-tunities for better transparency, light weighting and replacement of PET and PS in thermoforming. HPN-600ei can be incorporated into sheet extru-sion and thermoforming grades of PP to provide excellent aesthetics, rather

than the yellowish appea-rance that is common in conventional polypropylene. The overall effect of balanced orientation induced by HPN-600ei is the reduction of warpage in the final parts resulting in reduced cycle times and the ability to stack parts without nesting issues. Opportunities to override the nu-cleation of pigments and maximize production and part quality and con-sistency can be gained through the addition of Hyperform HPN-20E to injection molding grades. Benefits for typical applications inclu-de fine-tuning CLTE (coefficient of li-near thermal expansion) in grades for automobile bumpers and instrument panels, cycle time reduction and war-page elimination in the production of pallets and crates, and increased pro-cessability and optic enhancement in packaging. Hyperform nucleating agents are also used in profile extru-sion, such as pipe applications where they offer improved stiffness, surface smoothness and processability.

…and also for PEVisitors to the stand will also be able to quiz Milliken experts on progress the company has made on improving nucleation in polyethylene. Hyperform HPN-20E enables PE to be used in even more diverse packaging appli-cations than ever before. It increases the crystallization temperature of the polymer, allowing earlier de-molding of parts, cutting cycle times and in-creasing productivity up to 10 percent

and in some cases by as much as 20 percent. Hyperform HPN-20E is su-itable for high barrier high-density polyethylene (HDPE) blown film, industrial blow molded containers, caps and closures, and extruded

tubes, as well as in linear low den-sity PE (LLDPE). Performance enhancements for PE include improvements to barrier in film and to the environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR) of tubes, an increase in ESCR and top load for industrial containers, and pigment le-veling for caps and closures (C&C). Hyperform HPR-803i reinfor-cing fibers for a more sustai-nable automotive industryMilliken’s synthetic reinforcing agent Hyperform HPR-803i allows automoti-ve designers to create parts that are up to 15% lighter without compromi-sing performance. Hyperform HPR-803i is added at a lower addition rate than mineral fillers to polypropylene compounds, so the compounds have a lower density. Used alone or with talc, it helps automakers meet weight reduction targets and produce cars with reduced fuel consumption and lower vehicle emission. Hyperform HPR-803i compounds are suitable for injection molding operations originally designed for talc-filled compounds, simplifying te-sting requirements and reducing im-plementation costs. PP compounds reinforced with HPR-803i maintain their mechanical properties even af-ter multiple recycling and compoun-ding operations. Part surface appe-arance can also be improved, and HPR-803i lets processors reduce pig-ment usage while still meeting color requirements. Scratch appearance is improved, which can allow for further formulation optimization.Compounds containing Hyperform HPR-803i can be processed on exi-sting conventional injection molding equipment, without processors ha-ving to make additional investments (unlike with other technologies).

M OCON, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOCO) and Inspection Systems, Melbourne,

Australia have partnered to establish a certified lab for permeation, seal strength and leak detection testing for food and pharmaceutical packa-ging structures. Inspection Systems, a respected supplier of inspection and testing instruments and servi-ces, with locations in Australia and New Zealand, has created a separate entity, IS Laboratories, Melbourne, to support the partnership. Its mission is to provide food and pharmaceutical companies with fast and affordable testing services using MOCON’s gold-standard instrumentation.IS Laboratories becomes the first MO-CON-certified test facility in Australia and the eighth MOCON-certified lab in the world. “Up until now, companies in this part of the world who did not have access to MOCON instrumenta-tion in their own facilities would either have to send their products to other countries for testing or attempt to find a small laboratory which typically has limited capability. We are pleased to announce the establishment of this new laboratory with its wide range of testing options,” said Brad Grubb, di-rector, Inspection Systems.IS Laboratory capabilities include: oxygen, water vapor and carbon dio-xide permeation testing; burst and pressure strength testing, as well as pressure decay. Over the past seve-ral years, MOCON has been actively pursuing strategic laboratory partner-ships in key manufacturing regions around the world. Its objective is to offer affordable permeation testing services globally at laboratories which have been certified by the company.The MOCON-certified laboratory net-

work targets a broad range of com-panies ranging from multinational corporations, which would benefit from a local facility capable of dupli-cating gold-standard testing protocols, to smaller firms which may only have need for a few validation tests per year. Certification means that the state-of-the-art instrumentation has been in-stalled, inspected and is maintained by a MOCON-factory authorized servi-ce technician and that the laboratory staff has been trained on MOCON cor-porate test lab methods/protocols and record keeping to ensure quality and equivalency. “MOCON certification assures that companies using any one of these facilities will get the same level of service and quality they would find at

any other MOCON-certified location anywhere in the world,” said Alan She-ma, product manager for consulting and testing services, MOCON. “This is ideal for multinational companies which can now be assured that their materials or packages are tested using identical standards and protocols on four different continents.”Additionally, for Australia/New Zealand companies interested in purchasing MOCON in-strumentation for their own facility, IS Laboratories gives them a chance to demo instrumentation in a geographi-cally-convenient location before com-mitting to a purchase. MOCON certi-fied laboratories can now be found in the United States, Germany, China, In-dia, Canada, United Kingdom, Switzer-land and Australia.

P ackaging of food products in thermoformed trays, has been for long time an

established condition in the food market particularly for meat and derived products packaging. To face the enquiry of labeling, identification and traceability, LA-BELPACK has developed a wide range of labeling systems, able to apply one or more labels onto the package and managing online prin-ting for variable data and barcodes. The labeling systems of MODULAR series represents the solution to top level, designed and manufac-tured on an “open frame” structure in stainless steel, on which various labeling modules of LABELX series can be integrated for application onto the top and bottom of the pro-duct trays. This system is equipped with an electronic control unit positioned in a hanging framework where is hou-sed the PLC and the operator inter-face Touch Screen, the operation speed are all electronically synchro-nized and all the adjustments are equipped with numerical indicators to facilitate the exchange format and the consequent repositioning to the previous position. MODULAR systems can integrate different conveyor modules, stu-died according to the characteri-stics, size, weight and shape of the container to be labeled, this con-veyors are integrated in “balcony” position that allows easy cleaning of the floor area under the machi-ne, avoiding that any liquid drop could reach the parts of the machi-ne which result difficult to be clea-ned and sanitizing. The labels application units LABELX which are available for label width 140 -250 mm and can integrate all the thermal transfer industrial

print engine, available on the inter-national market, with a 4 “and 6” printing width made by DATAMAX, ZEBRA, SATO, AVERY, CAB, CARL VALENTIN. The print engine module allow to manage online printing of variable data, bar codes and other information necessa-ry for the trace-ability of food products. For the entry level appli-cation, are available the labeling systems of the COMPACT series, made in stainless steel struc-tures too, they integrate the labeling units of the LABELX JR seri-es, that allow to have reliable solu-tions with a very competitive price. Very often we are asked also to be able to integrate our labeling modules onto existing packa-ging machines and new plants, both for end users and OEM manufacturer to which we provide all our technical support and our experience, gained in more than twenty years of activity in this field, and suggesting the best solution among the various models of the LABELX series and the print and apply solutions of the PandA series available in over 30 mo-dels and complete of many accessories that allow an easy integration onto all the packaging machines such as: flow-pack, heat sealing machines, thermo forming, vertical bagging, bundling machines, cartoning and case packers.

U NICA and LIBRA represent an innovative concept of equipment/service that is

collecting a lot of interest through the operators of gelato, patisserie and food industry generally.The technology of powder and liquid dosage, specialty for more than 40 years of the Company LAWER S.p.A in Cossato, Biella – Italy has allowed to apply also in artisanal laboratori-es the concept of automation and management where the informatics use in the weighing operations of the ingredients guide the operator and eliminates every kind of errors and allow to manage in efficient way the production.

UNICA is the completely automatic system that performs all the neces-sary weighing operations to prepare the recipes with the assurance of the precision. Since now in the ar-tisanal laboratory the dosage of the ingredients was effected only in a manual way; now with UNICA this phase of the preparation can be au-tomatized with quality vantages but in particular in the replicability of the recipes always the same, with total production know-how protec-tion (the own recipes).For this reason UNICA is placed as a confident partner for all that ope-rators that wish to organize their production in an innovative way

with a careful look to the product quality and to valorization of the most authentic tradition, besides not lose sight of life quality and pro-duction cost reduction. With UNICA you can enjoy the benefits of the au-tomatized technology improving the productions authenticity.UNICA, manufactured in the indu-strial version, could be employed in the food industry where the need of the precision in micro-dosages is still present in some phases of the production of patisserie, bakery, pa-sta and in the meat and salami pro-

duction where is required the wei-ghing of the flavoring (recipes with salts and spices).UNICA manages and weighs auto-matically the ingredients that com-pose recipes, without requiring the presence of the operator and al-lows to save time in the laboratory to be spent at the service of the customers. In a fully automatic way, UNICA repeats countless times the error free weighing of the recipes of solid ingredients guaranteeing a constant quality of the final product.UNICA optimizes production time and reduces working hours and costs of the personnel in the labo-ratory.Using UNICA the personnel could work without knowing and having at their disposal the customized reci-pes protecting your own production know-how.Accessing to a protected area, it is possible to verify and monitor the daily production, monthly produc-tion , production cost, consumption reports and many other useful data that allow to manage with efficiency the production.LIBRA is the semi-automatic version of UNICA that helps and guide in the management of the laboratory and in the preparation phases of the recipes but doesn’t weigh automa-tically the ingredients.LIBRA guides and attends the ope-rator step by step in all the opera-tions of manual weighing of the ingredients, showing the right in-gredients to be weighed and the re-quired quantity, showing when the weighing has reached the correct quantity and the required precision eliminating in this way all the errors and the waste typical of a manual operation.Through the checking with the ma-nagement software, LIBRA guaran-tees the replicability of the recipes increasing in this way the efficiency in the laboratory reducing prepara-tion times.A specific program in LIBRA softwa-

re is used for the calculation of the mixture balancing allowing a care-ful evaluation of the final product quality.LIBRA is provided with a software program that manages the labora-tory, check every single recipe provi-ding consumption and costs reports of every single ingredient or of com-plete recipe, allows to constantly verify the effected production and the daily, monthly or in the wanted time period produced quantity.It allows the management of raw

materials batches for a perfect data traceability.Thanks to LIBRA, despite not having the automatic weighing operation you could improve efficiency and control and optimize production ti-mes in laboratory.With UNICA and LIBRA the techno-logy and informatics are at the service of artisanal and industrial production improving efficiency, traceability and quality allowing a modern management of operation since now manually executed.

D innissen Process Techno-logy has developed a new version of the classic Dima

200 bag emptier for safely and effi-ciently emptying bags filled with fine powders, particles or granulates. The new model, which makes it possible to automatically empty bags while re-leasing less than 0.1 mg of product per m3 of discharged product, is in-tended primarily for companies that need to create a safe working envi-ronment for their operators in a wide range of sectors.

Fully automatic bag emptier focuses on operator safety Governments are applying increa-singly stringent standards when it comes to the release of fine and ultrafine particles. As a result, com-panies are also increasingly being confronted with the challenge of ha-ving to prevent the release of even very small quantities of fine particles when bags need to be emptied. In response to these requirements, Din-nissen Process Technology has deve-loped a new ultrafine version of the classic Dima 200 bag emptier. The new ultrafine model can automatical-ly empty even large bags containing very fine particles, including those that are extremely light and/or which pose a dust explosion or other type of hazard. The Dima 200 is fitted with a dust-free handling unit, and bags can automatically be fed into the unit if desired. After the unit is sealed, the emptying process is automatically started whereby the bag, which is su-

spended by two hooks, is cut in half by a revolving knife. The emptying process is assisted via vibration, af-ter which the empty bags are auto-matically discharged.

Double filter with power-ful suction and special air exhaust seal The ultrafine Dima 200 bag emptier was developed by Dinnissen espe-cially for situations in which compa-nies are required to prevent the rele-ase of even the smallest quantities of fine particles when bags need to be emptied. This newest version is fit-ted with a double filter with powerful suction and a special dust-tight seal for the air exhaust. The smoothly po-lished interior of the unit simplifies cleaning and prevents particles from being left behind in the machine. The design is based on Dinnissen’s easy-to-clean-concept which facilitates

quick and efficient cleaning. Finally, the new model works with a fully au-tomated cleaning-in-place concept based on air flow and suction, practi-cally eliminating the need for any hu-man intervention during the cleaning process.

Automated cleaning of bags for improved hygiene In some situations, very strict stan-dards apply in the area of hygiene and the prevention of contamination in the production process. Dinnissen Process Technology therefore also provides clients with an extra option whereby the bags, after being fed into the ultrafine Dima 200, are first cleaned with the help of a special ‘air knife’ before being cut open. After the cleaning process, any dirt and contaminants present are first ca-refully sucked off and removed, and only then is the bag emptied.

A mcor Flexibles introduces Amcor Vodex Generation II, a unique barrier liner for‘

bag-in-box’ foods offering a blend of moisture barrier, mineral oil bar-rier and breathability that meet the increasing focus on food protection, environmental awareness and cost effectiveness.

This ultimate co-extruded packa-ging solution provides increased customer satisfaction, enhanced consumer experience when ope-ning the pack and, most importan-tly, safe consumption.

Independent studies have raised that products packed with an in-ternal barrier such as Amcor Vodex protective material are less expo-sed to mineral oil residuals than products packed in alternative so-lutions.

Amcor has invested significantly in new technologies to further develop the original Amcor Vodex product at its state-of-the-art extrusion facility for HDPE (High Density PolyEthyle-ne) products in its Cumbria, UK site. The Amcor Vodex Generation II in-novation is the outcome of five ye-ars of relentless research to meet the demand for a successor to the original Vodex, already widely used by cereals and dry food producers in Western Europe.

The resulting Amcor Vodex Gene-ration II retains all the values of the original Amcor Vodex such as barrier against mineral oil hydro-

carbon (MOH) migration, recyclabi-lity, breathability, aroma and flavour retention. It also offers improved features of superior moisture bar-rier for a longer shelf-life, improved easy-opening, better packaging ma-chine performance and increased value for money by providing more opportunities to downgauge cu-stomer film requirements. And the new films can be tailored to specific product needs to meet barrier, pun-cture resistance, breathability and cost requirements.

Amy Byrick, Vice President Amcor Flexibles Europe & America’s, Food & Beverage: “We believe Amcor Vo-

dex Generation II is the most com-plete and cost effective solution to today’s marketplace needs. A bar-rier liner such as Amcor Vodex, di-rectly next to the food, helps protect it from external sources of contami-nant which is a significant advan-tage over the use of virgin carton board alone.”

Thanks to Amcor’s long heritage and proven experience in the bag-in-box cereal market, we can offer a large portfolio of packaging solu-tions for products that provide the ultimate protection for our custo-mers’ products and meet consu-mers’ needs.

Thanks to its twenty years of experience in the packaging sector, CORIMA Internatio-

nal Machinery currently boasts a wide range of canmaking technolo-gies and remains highly dedicated to the development of new solu-tions aimed at optimizing its pro-ducts’ costs and performance.In fact, it is precisely this research and development that has allowed the company to successfully conso-lidate itself upon the international market over the years.CORIMA’S current product range includes: automated machinery, quality control machinery, electro-coaters and production lines for producing easy-open lids.Corima is also actively involved in the manufacture of “turnkey” pro-duction lines for the production of Easy-Open lids, as well as the con-struction of robotic systems.

The machines are designed and manufactured at the Ferrara pro-duction facility, where an ongoing dialogue between the technical offi-ce, the production department and the customer provides for constant product improvement, even during the production stage.In order to satisfy the various de-mands of the market, CORIMA has even established a division dedi-cated to second-hand machinery. These units can either be entirely overhauled, or else furnished on an “as is” basis. CORIMA also offers its customers qualified technical support by trained personnel with extensive experience in the indust-ry, both in terms of installation and after-sale service.

FOCUS ON: The Corima unwrapping machineThe Corima unwrapping machine,

which is designed for the removal of wrapping paper or cellophane, plays an important role in the food industry.The machine, in fact, allows for the lids of food or beverage cans, which are normally wrapped in paper or in plastic films, to be automatical-ly fed into the filling-machines and seamers.The machine automatically remo-ves the plastic film or paper and automatically feeds the lids into the seamers. This machine allows any company that packages food and beverage products in tin or alumi-nium cans to save money on staff, or else to reassign any staff normal-ly employed full-time in the unwrap-ping of bags and the feeding of the seamers to other tasks, perhaps even having them carry out more stringent quality inspections upon the complex filling lines.

E urosicma is an Italian group of companies playing an im-portant role in the automatic

packaging machines’ field. The portfolio of the company includes handling, fee-ding, wrapping machines and integra-ted lines for the bakery, confectionery, cosmetic and pharmaceutical sectors. Founded in 1965, its activity spread over three generations and it is now present in more than 80 countries worldwide with over than 4000 machi-nes installed.Today, Eurosicma’s core business is re-presented by flow and fold tailor-made wrapping solutions for the horizontal packaging both primary and multipack of a wide range of products such as plain, sandwich and filled biscuits, wafers, crackers, snacks, candies, chewing gums, bubble gums chocolate and sweets in general.Due to the wide range of applications and the expertise acquired in so many fields Eurosicma is today considered a Multi-Specialist Manufacturer, able to grant a completely “handmade in Italy production” with the use of high quality row materials, the most accurate as-sembling of the mechanical parts and the most up-to dated software applica-tions for the control systems.Machinery flexibility and modularity be-come key factors to be satisfied in or-der to provide wrappers able to handle

and pack a wide range of different pro-ducts with easy and quick machinery adjustments, ensuring the same featu-res, quality and performance in all the configurations available. To the confectionery industry, Eurio-sicma proposes two models of flow wrapper: the EURO 77 and the EURO 88. The EURO 77 flow wrapper can be con-nected to a wide range of different fee-ding systems, being therefore able to handle hard candies, jellies, lollipops, chewing gum, bubble gums, chewy can-dy, toffees, slabs. The EURO 77 DS 900 “CANDY Version” is Eurosicma’s best proposal for hard candies and the wi-dest wrapping application developed, thanks to the long tradition and exper-tise the company acquired in the field from its foundation.The wrapper with the basic configu-ration can reach 1350pcs/min, but it is able to run at a speed up to 2000 pcs/min, employing an advanced high-performance kit. One of the latest suc-cessful developments allows to have a completely new machine’s configu-ration equipped with two independent disc feeders for the double colour ap-plication. The EURO 77 DS 900 “Candy Version” can be easily adapted and used for jellies, lollipops and pellets, changing a dedicated kit of parts. For example,

the EURO 77 DS 900 “LOLLY Version” is equipped with a dedicated execution of the centrifugal disc feeder and able to run at a speed up to 600 pcs/min. The same machine is able to realize both single flow packs and strips of packs, with the number of packs per chain ful-ly and tool-free customizable, thanks to an innovative servo-driven device. Eurosicma Candy R&D developed a patented empty hole recovery function for disc feeders to avoid any eventual empty pack. Such technology allows to feed properly and steadily the wrapper chain and avoid any possible waste of wrapping material. For all the products coming from rope, Eurosicma has specifically designed two different Cut & Wrap flow pack machines, the EURO 77 TIV and the EURO 77 TIR. The first model is able to cut and pack short/medium sized pro-ducts using a scissor cutter and a 90° pusher, while the second one is the best configuration to handle medium/long sized products thanks to a rotary cutting unit that transfers “in line” the portion already cut.For laminated gums, coming from the process line as big slabs, Euroscima offers two configurations: the EURO 77 AP, ideal for products with a rectangular final shape, and the EURO 77 DT, more suitable for square products. Both the models are equipped with a dedicated

loading and feeding unit, in the first case placed at 90° compared to the wrapper, while in the second all the equipment is “in line”.Dedicated feeding systems are also available for chewing gum balls to be wrapped in assorted colours.To serve the bakery industry and satisfy the most various needs, Eurosicma of-fers several applications from the single machine to complete wrapping systems according to the needs. As for the candies and gums there is one flow wrapper model available in dif-ferent configurations to handle different products and sizes: the EURO 88. For biscuits in stacks, both plain and san-dwich, Eurosicma offers the EURO 88 UNIVERSAL which can be connected to the “P.W.F” and “V.M.”, two models of vertical gravity feeders ideal for biscuits. For biscuits on edgein flow pack style, the most suitable solution is the version EURO 88/EDG, while for biscuits on edge in fold style Eurosicma proposes the EUROFOLD Machine Model, the first and unique fully electronic fold wrapper available on the market. Both machines can be combined with Automatic Por-tion Feeders, Counting or Volumetric Version. A successful combination wi-dely developed is the Eurofold Machine combined with the Automatic Portion

Feeder Volumetric Version. This kind of feeding system is an efficient solution to handle both dry and sandwich bi-scuits; it is completely servo-motorized, driven and controlled by the wrapper and capable of reaching a speed of 25 cycles per minute. Thanks to the speci-fic technology employed this slugs fee-der is able to grant an extreme gentle handling of the products with an easy and fast change size.To strengthen its commitment to the bakery field, Eurosicma decided to set up the company Eurotekna to be able

to supply, autonomously as the only center of responsibility, complete wrap-ping lines and turnkey solutions. Such strong joint-venture was born after a long collaboration between Eurosicma and Tekna. Thanks to the accurate ex-perience gained by both Eurosicma and Eurotekna staff in the biscuits machi-ne field in over twenty years of activity, the companies are able to offer a wide range of machines for biscuits and ba-kery products, such as sandwiching machines wire-cut technology: SAMA 1, SAMA/2 and SAMA/4, and automa-



EURO 77 DS 900Flow wrapping machine for candies and gums

tic feeding systems for biscuits to be wrapped on edge, both Volumetric and Counting Versions.

For sandwich biscuits and crackers, the machinery range includes complete line for sandwiching and packaging for biscuits and crackers. The sandwiching Machine Model SAMA combined with the EURO 88 flow wrapper is an inte-grated line composed of two machines which are connected in real-time. Such synchronization and control system grant high levels of efficiency and out-put. The cream tank is designed to feed the cream to portion and equipped with a jacketed water circulation system for temperature control, a shaker and a pump. Each system is independently servo-driven. The sophisticated dosing system employed, grants the deposit of the correct quantity of cream also in case the filling machine has to manage many different formats with very diffe-rent portions of cream. The machine is also equipped with automatic self-cleaning system for chains. Direct con-nection with the EURO 88 flow wrapper is possible thanks to a phasing transfer device that can be employed both for single and overlapped biscuits. Furthermore, Eurosicma can offer spe-cial feeding applications for wafers: the STF, Side Transfer Feeder, a system completely servo-motorized that allows the transfer of products from the multi-

belts feeder into the chain of the flow wrapper. The most advanced version of the STF is also available: the SSTF, Soft Side Transfer System, having an additional servo motor, is able to feed the chain following its movement at high speed and in the gentlest way. Both the devices can be supplied also in twin version and eventually with self-cleaning unit. To complete all the configurations avai-lable for the EURO 88 flow wrapper,

Eurosicma has developed the EURO 88 HSF Noodles, a packaging system for instant noodles, both fried and riced. These high-performance wrapping sy-stems can be equipped with “no cake no seasoning bag” function and with a 3D camera to detect and select the single product in the row with irregular shape.To achieve high-performance results, Eurosicma has studied and entirely de-veloped the feeding system for the sea-



SMART LINE Distribution system for products coming in rows to be packed in flow pack style

soning bags, able to cut and place them on the cakes, ready to be wrapped. The Seasoning Bag Feeder is completely integrated in the control system of the wrapper and configurations up to three independent feeders per wrapping ma-chine can be supplied.Regarding enrobed products, healthy sticky bars, nougats, sponge cakes, jellies, chocolate bars, buscuits, wa-fers and thin products, Eurosicma has developed appropriate distribution and feeding systems, that can be highly cu-stomized according to the space availa-ble and the quantity of products coming from the production line. This systems transfer products, at a high speed and in a gentle way, to the HSF8, High Speed Feeder and Timing System, a comple-tely pressureless high-performance feeding system, specially designed to handle difficult products such as small cakes with irregular shapes, sticky bars

and nougats. This feeder grants gentle handling of products at an extremely low and monitored pressure and, if re-quired or needed, can also avoid any contact between the products. Such so-phisticated feeding system is equipped with auto-tensioning and auto-centering belts’ system. Extremely easy and fast tool-free cleaning for plates, belts and transmission rollers are assured. One of the successful applications recently developed, is the double HSF Feeding and Timing System, with 3, 6 or 8 belts according to the configuration needed, able to grant a safe and continuous fee-ding at high speed. The EURO88/CF3 is designed to recei-ve long-side leading products, placed in single line. It is equipped with a 3-belts feeding system, placed at 90° or 110°. Each belt is driven by an independent brushless motor. The EURO88/CF3 handles products with extremely low

and carefully monitored pressure. The feeder is able to recover empty spa-ces on upstream flow, buffer products automatically at controlled pressure, granting a progressive separation of them to make gentle and efficient the loading phase of the wrapper’s infeed chain. The EURO88/CF3 can reach a speed up to 400 packs/min, depending on product’s and wrapping material’s specifications.To satisfy a specific request for biscuits’ wrapping, Eurosicma recently develo-ped a dedicated device that allow to have a new pack configuration: a flow pack style with the side parts fold, that seems to be similar to the fold pack, but able to grant the protection of the flow pack and a better shelf-life of the product. Such new design has been re-alized thanks to the development of an additional module, that can be added to all the Eurosicma’s flow pack confi-



gurations. In order to meet the most various packaging needs, Eurosicma Group can also provide a wide range of equipment to handle products from the sandwiching machine or oven end to the packaging line. For biscuits on edge wrapping, star shape stacker allows biscuits turning and it transfers them, already placed on edge, on belts in or-der to be stored and if requested linked to the automatic portion feeders, avai-lable in Eurotekna’s machinery range.

According to customers’ needs, rows multipliers and customized collecting systems are available.Today, Eurosicma together with Euro-tekna, is able to offer its clients a wide array of customized solutions to satisfy the requests of the market and relate to its customers with a partnership ap-proach.

Eurosicma always invests a lot in de-veloping more and more customized solutions and it has in its internal or-ganization dedicated divisions able to manage every stage of the designing and studying phases with high experti-se and know how. Starting as a small company with 30 employees, nowadays Eurosicma counts 160 members with over than 4000 machines, sold and installed in more than 80 countries worldwide.

I t’s difficult to go a day without seeing or hearing about the health advantages of consu-

ming yogurt. The yogurt industry has been experiencing steady growth, as it diversifies its offering and enters new regions with lower cost produc-tion. As part of this industry-wide growth, many manufacturers are pursuing the best packaging option for production of the product. One such option contributing to progress in this market category is Form, Fill and Seal (FFS). The main reason for the success: FSS is a fai-rly simple and highly efficient pro-cess. The packaging material is for-med into a package, then filled with the food product, then sealed.There are two typically types of FFS processes used today: vertical and horizontal. Vertical is typically used for flexible plastic packaging. During this production process a plastic film is fed vertically through a machine. The horizontal process, as its name suggests, involves having rigid she-et fed into a machine horizontally to form a rigid plastic package. “Manufacturers deploying FSS for the packaging of yogurt have been able to maintain the necessary high production rates, reduce their pro-cessing steps, and decrease their need for manual labor,” stated Wil-liam J. Barenberg, Jr., OCTAL’s COO. “The FSS process also minimizes the risk of food contamination due to reduced contact with equipment and plant personnel. All of these benefits combined have aided ma-nufacturers to yield an overall cost savings compared to other yogurt packaging options.”Additionally, FSS packaging is espe-cially well suited to producing multi-packs. Multipacks can eliminate the need for secondary materials such as cardboard or shrink sleeves, fa-

cilitating additional cost savings. Ho-wever, a critical component for addi-tional benefits and cost reductions relies on the material selection for the package.The material options for FSS packa-ging are determined by many factors including: product, filling temperatu-re, bacteria sensitivity, sterilization method, storage conditions, desired shelf- life and package design. For the sake of this article we will just focus on the advantages of the ma-terial PET sheet for the yogurt mul-tipack.PET sheet has many distinct cha-racteristics that give it an edge over other polymers, with one of its principal advantages being mecha-nical robustness. PET sheet com-bines rigidity with toughness. Yet, the package is resilient enough to prevent it from cracking, a concern issue with styrene based plastics, which ensures good performance during transportation. Plus, PET sheet has lower permeability for oxygen than other commonly used polymers, which increases the shelf life of yogurt. Nonetheless, many packaging ma-nufacturers have discovered if the PET sheet material is not manufac-tured with concern for the upmost quality, they could still find it so-mewhat difficult to produce the best yogurt container possible. Some producers have found with the right equipment along with the use of OC-TAL DPET™’s sheet, they have been

able to consistently produce a high quality yogurt package.Yogurt packaging systems are some of the most demanding in the world. Consistency and machinability for uptime and productivity is a key per-formance indicator. OCTAL DPET™ direct-to-sheet manufacturing sy-stem is designed to provide the kind of consistency it takes to realize the absolute maximum from Form, Fill, and Seal (FFS) lines.With a typically observed gauge va-riation of +/- 2 to 3 microns, DPET™ enables FFS operations to run at hi-ghly consistent rates day after day. Sealing quality is also optimized with DPET™’s highly planer surface to-pography. Additionally, DPET™ cuts easier than traditional PET sheets, meaning more uniform cutting, and knives that last longer between shar-pening and replacement. DPET™ also delivers a smooth and glossy surface that is perfect for detailed printing designs and process prin-ting or label application, yielding at-tractive packs with enhanced shelf presence.“As OCTAL establishes itself as the market leader in PET sheet, more and more yogurt producers are finding that DPET™’s physical properties translate directly into advantages for both the yogurt manufacturer,” sta-ted William J. Barenberg, Jr., OCTAL’s COO. “Now, they can now produce a high quality yogurt package, along with reducing cost by ordering a thin-ner sheet. In addition, yogurt manu-facture can gain additional business because DPET™’s meets many new sustainability requirements.”

The Linx TJ725 thermal inkjet case coder is now better than ever thanks to a sof-

tware upgrade which adds a host of new capabilities.It means users can print more than before with the same printer – the upgrade will be standard on all new models and can be added free of charge to existing machines, empha-sising Linx’s commitment to future-proofing its products.Already trusted for its ease of use and low cost of ownership, the Linx TJ725 now boasts additional featu-res including:Internal dynamic barcode genera-tion capability for quicker customisa-tionAnti ink-bleed feature and new inks, allowing a wider range of sub-strates to be coded600dpi printing for better print contrastRotated text fieldsArabic language supportEven quicker code editing and cre-ationThe Linx TJ725 already incorporates Simply Smart Technology® to offer a high resolution, digital solution for coding onto outer cases, boxes, shelf ready trays and packaging.Supplied in just a few pieces out of the box, the Linx TJ725 is simple to fit without needing a service engine-er or specialist installation tools. No training is needed and users can be up and running within minutes. The Linx TJ725 can cut waste and save money because it is ready to print straight away every time and with no hidden service costs, increa-sing production line efficiency.Linx’s innovative Active Cartridge Care System® saves money and cuts waste by slowing the nozzle drying process, making first prints more reliable every time.

The nozzles are covered and pro-tected when not in use and uncove-red automatically when the first pro-duct is sensed, so the Linx TJ725 is ready to produce high quality prints as soon as they’re needed. It can also sense how much ink is left and forecast the number of prints remai-ning, so operators can plan to keep lines running without interruption.The replaceable ink cartridge with integral printhead is key to the co-der’s efficiency, as there is no risk of expensive printhead replacement or repairs. Installing a new cartridge is a simple process that takes secon-ds. The machine then automatically detects the type of cartridge fitted, and adjusts for optimum printing performance. The Linx TJ725 also allows easy, tool-free, repositioning of the printhead. So the printer can be set up quickly and easily in the correct printing po-sition during product changeovers, or when moving the printer between lines – saving production time.

The built-in sensors automatically detect the speed of the product, trig-ger the Active Cartridge Care System and initiate printing, which means no separate encoder or sensors are needed – again making set-up on the line simplicity itself. The touch screen interface offers ease of use and simple, intuitive configuration for easy message changeover. For operators, the colour screen clearly shows the message selected as it will be printed, reducing the risk of coding errors.The Linx TJ725 can print messages up to a height of 12.5mm, with a ran-ge of fonts and print densities of up to 600dpi, and line speeds of up to 1 metre/sec. Jason Remnant, Linx Product Ma-nager, says: “Already arguably the easiest to use printer of its type, the Linx TJ725 now has a host of featu-res in addition to the key Linx qua-lities of being easy to use, reliable and delivering low long-term cost of ownership.”

I t is testament to the supreme reliability and enduring per-formance of Ishida mulithead

weighers that S Series models from the 1980s are still in daily opera-tion at the Park Royal, London fac-tory of Kolak Snack Foods.But it is equally testament to the ambitions of Kolak and its commit-ment to product quality and excel-lence of service that this family-owned business has continued to invest heavily and consistently in new equipment. So over the years, the S range models have been joi-ned by a succession of the latest Ishida innovations, culminating in the last six months in the arrival of the company’s newest snack packaging solution – integrated 18 head R series multihead weighers and Atlas bagmakers, incorporating Ishida’s advanced iTPS software.Established in 1985, Kolak is one of the UK’s leading snack food ma-nufacturers, supplying a wide ran-ge of crisps and extruded snacks to the major retailers throughout the UK and Europe, as well as its own ranges of products under the Kolak, Jacksons, Diamond and Dy-lan’s brands. The company was a pioneer of the more exotic flavours of crisps that are commonplace to-day – it’s easy to forget that back in the 1980s ready salted and cheese & onion reigned supreme in the UK - with the introduction of varieties such as Barbeque, Paprika and Bo-lognese. Kolak was also the first to introduce Mini Poppadum snacks in 1986.Such a commitment to new pro-duct development requires the best equipment, which is what first at-tracted Kolak to Ishida and why it remains a customer to this day. In particular, as the business has grown, Ishida has been able to

meet the need for even higher effi-ciencies and greater output.

However, as Kolak Snack Foods Director Rikin Lakhani points out, choosing the right kit is only half the story.

“It is not simply a question of buying the most suitable weighing equipment. Yes, speed, accuracy and reliability are absolutely vital but the aftercare is just as impor-tant to us. And the service and sup-port that Ishida give us is exempla-ry. They understand what we want, provide the right solution, and if we do ever have a problem or issue, they respond extremely quickly.”A mutually-beneficial working part-

nership is important to Kolak as the company takes the same approach in its relationships with its own cu-stomers. “Our commitment is to match the quality of our products with a fast-response and flexible service,” explains Rikin. “Every retailer is looking for something a little bit different in their product ranges, be that a different type of snack, flavour or pack size, and we have to be able to deliver their exact requirements.”Kolak processes in excess of 100 tons of potatoes each day, produ-cing over 25 million bags of snacks and crisps every week, made up of around 350 different SKUs (stock-keeping units) . In such a constan-tly busy environment, speed and

ISHIDA FP 6/13.indd 3 17/12/13 13.33


accuracy of the weighing equipment are essential to maximise efficien-cies and throughput and it is for this reason that the company has conti-nued to invest in Ishida equipment over the years, each new model brin-ging further enhancements.The arrival of the new Ishida iTPS systems follows Kolak’s latest in-vestment of nearly £10m in a new factory next to its existing Park Royal premises, dedicated to the produc-tion of extruded snacks. Even with the luxury of a new facility, no suc-cessful business can afford to waste

space so maximising every available square foot was a particular require-ment.In their twin configuration, the new Ishida weighing and packaging sy-stems take up only about one and half times the space of a previous single multihead weigher and bag-maker, yet are able to deliver around 220 bags per minutes for crisps and as much as 280 bags per minute for extruded snacks, compared to 80 and 90 bags respectively with the older equipment. At the same time, they are achieving accuracy to within

1% of target weight. And with the high number of varieties and pack configurations supplied by Kolak, changeovers are quick and easy to carry out.There is still a role for the existing Ishida equipment in this new facili-ty. Two 16 head RZ series weighers with 7 litre hoppers are being used to produce multipacks of the many different snacks varieties that the company produces. For 12 or 10 multipacks of the same variety, speeds of 40 per minute are being achieved; for 32 packs of four dif-ferent flavours the top speed is 30 per minute. Ishida also has a huge presence of over 50 checkweighers – mainly DACS-W and the latest DAC-G models – throughout the Kolak operation. These provide vital final weight checks in line with supermar-ket quality control requirements.

“When it comes to checkweighers, there is no competition,” says Rikin.

A key part of the Kolak business philosophy is creating effective re-lationships that can be built up and developed over the years. It is true of its customers, its staff – of the 750 people employed, many have been with the business for years, some since the very beginning, and there are now second gene-rations of families employed there – and of its suppliers. And that is why, with further ambitious deve-lopment plans in the pipeline, Ishi-da equipment will continue to play an important role.“The build quality, reliability and in-tegrity of the kit is second to none – you only have to look at the longe-vity of our S Series weighers to see this,” confirms Rikin. “Add to this the high levels of service we enjoy and the continuing performance and operation enhancements that Ishida introduce to their equipment and I am certain this relationship will endure and prosper for many more years.”

EXHIBITIONS MEETINGS CONFERENCES

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.

T radition as an anchor - Bread in RussiaTradition is very important for

the bakery industry in Russia. New innovations and ideas are unattaina-ble without the valuable background and its approaches. Traditionally, bre-ad is the most important foodstuff in Russia with an annually increasing sales level. The Russian per capita consumption is remarkable in an in-ternational comparison and equals around 115 kg.The knowledge of the past is a kind of driver for the future. Modern Bake-ry Moscow brings these approaches together and thus gives an overall picture of the entire industry. The new satellite topics of the bakery and confectionery are further developed, refined and integrated together with the traditional core topics. Modern Bakery Moscow perfectly succeeds in combining tradition, innovation and modernity under one roof.

Russian market for bakery and confectionery goodsThe Russian bakery and confectione-ry market is one of the most exciting growth markets in the world and of-fers impressive prospects especially for international manufacturers. In 2012 the annual turnover for bread

and bakery products rose by 15.1%, to 11 bn Euros.In 2013 the total investment of the Russian confectionery industry is estimated at 200 million Euros. By 2015, this amount increases further to 215 million Euros. There is also an enormous potential for manufac-turers of machines and equipment. In Russia, 50 % of all technical equipment stems from the 1980s, and there is great need for moder-nization. The Russian government admits the need of modification and plans to invest 2.4 billion Euros in the expansion and renovation of the Rus-sian bakeries until 2020.

Trade fairs in Russia - Moscow as the centerMoscow is the center of business in Russia. All major Russian and inter-national companies are represented here. In addition, the Russian capital is the meeting point between Asia and Europe and is one of the most important exhibition centers in the world. Trade fairs in Russia serve as the most important tool to establish new business contacts. Particularly active product presentations on-site and intensive dialogues with com-pany representatives play an impor-tant role for decision making and suc-

cessful contracts conclusion.Networking in RussiaThe business practices in Russia and the CIS differ in some aspects com-pared to the Western world. In parti-cular, the personal contact is of great significance. Creation of a strong and effective partnership and its regular maintenance are the key factor for successful businesses in Russia.

The bakery of the 21 century at Modern Bakery Moscow 2014Modern Bakery Moscow takes the traditional elements around the bre-ad and gives an outlook into the fu-ture of the entire industry. New topics are highlighted and become increa-singly important. Nowadays bakery is not only bread baking, it reflects many facets today: ice cream, cho-colate, tea, coffee, store concepts and restaurant chains are no longer outside topics. “In regards of bakery the customer needs have fundamen-tally expanded within the recent ye-ars. The whole industry is changing,” adds Mr. Fichtner. The 20th Modern Bakery Moscow will take place April 23 – 26, 2014 at the Expocentre Fai-rgrounds in Moscow. The leading tra-de fair for confectionery and bakery in Russia and the CIS celebrates its anniversary!

T radition als Anker – Brot in RusslandTradition ist für die Backbran-

che in Russland sehr wichtig. Ohne diese wertvollen Erfahrungen und An-satzpunkte sind neue Innovationen und Ideen nicht denkbar. Brot verzeichnet als traditionell wichtiges Lebensmittel in Russland jährlich wachsende Umsätze. Beachtlich ist der russische Pro-Kopf-Verbrauch im internationalen Vergleich. Dieser liegt bei rund 115 Kilogramm. Aus dem Wissen der Vergangenheit speist sich der Motor für die Zukunft. Auf der Modern Bakery Moscow wer-den diese Ansätze zusammengeführt und ergeben somit ein Gesamtbild der kompletten Branche. Neue Themen, die in engem Zusammenhang zu Bä-ckerei und Konditorei stehen, werden weiterentwickelt und verfeinert – Kern-themen gepflegt und traditionell einge-bunden. Die Modern Bakery Moscow verbindet Tradition, Innovation und Mo-derne unter einem Dach.

Russischer Markt für Bäckerei- und KonditoreiwarenDer russische Bäckerei- und Kondito-reimarkt ist einer der spannendsten Wachstumsmärkte der Welt und bie-tet speziell internationalen Herstellern beeindruckende Zukunftsperspekti-ven. Der Jahresumsatz für Brot- und Backwaren stieg 2012 um 15,1 % auf insgesamt elf Milliarden Euro.Das Investitionsvolumen der russi-schen Konditoreiindustrie wird 2013 auf 200 Millionen Euro geschätzt. Bis zum Jahr 2015 steigt dieser Betrag weiter auf 215 Millionen Euro. Glei-ches Potenzial ergibt sich auch für den Bereich der Maschinenhersteller. In Russland sind 50 % aller Anlagen aus den 1980er-Jahren und hier besteht ein hoher Modernisierungsbedarf.

Die russische Regierung hat ebenfalls Handlungsbedarf erkannt und möchte bis 2020 weitere 2,4 Milliarden Euro Fördermittel für den Ausbau und die Erneuerung russischer Bäckereibetrie-be investieren.

Messen in Russland – Moskau als ZentrumMoskau ist das Zentrum für Geschäfte in Russland. Alle wichtigen russischen und internationalen Firmen sind hier vertreten. Zudem ist die russische Hauptstadt als Schnittstelle zwischen Asien und Europa eines der wichtigsten Messezentren der Welt. Messen sind in Russland das wichtigste Instrument, um mit Geschäftspartnern in Kontakt zu treten. Vor allem, da aktive Produkt-vorstellungen vor Ort und der intensive Dialog mit Firmenvertretern wichtig für die Entscheidungsfindung und erfol-greiche Vertragsabschlüsse sind.

Networking in RusslandDas Geschäftsgebaren in Russland und der GUS unterscheidet sich in eini-gen Bereichen von dem der westlichen Welt. Am deutlichsten wird dies bei der besonderen Bedeutung persönli-cher Kontakte. Der Aufbau einer guten

und engen Partnerschaft sowie die regelmäßige Pflege sind der Schlüssel zum Geschäftserfolg in Russland.

Die Backstube des 21. Jahrhun-derts auf der Modern Bakery Moscow 2014Die Modern Bakery Moscow greift die traditionellen Elemente rund ums Brot auf und gibt einen Ausblick in die Zu-kunft einer ganzen Branche. Neue The-men rücken in den Vordergrund und nehmen an Bedeutung zu. Bäckerei ist heute nicht nur Brot verkaufen. Bäcke-rei spiegelt heute viele Facetten wider: Eiscrème, Schokolade, Tee, Kaffee, ganze Ladenkonzepte sowie der Weg hin zur Systemgastronomie sind nicht mehr nur Randerscheinungen. „Die Kundenbedürfnisse an eine Bäckerei haben sich in den letzten Jahren funda-mental erweitert. Eine ganze Branche befindet sich im Wandel und in Bewe-gung“, ergänzt Fichtner.Vom 23. bis 26. April 2014 findet die 20. Modern Bakery Moscow im Zen-tralen Messegelände Expocentre in Moskau statt. Die Modern Bakery Mo-scow feiert ihr Jubiläum und ist die Lei-tmesse für Konditorei und Bäckerei in Russland und den GUS.

R ussia continues to provi-de an environment for the plastics and rubber indust-

ry and for the packaging sector. The country’s economy is still growing, and its main strengths are the size of its domestic market and its con-sumption-focused society. Consu-mer-oriented industries are therefore showing particularly dynamic growth, e.g. food and beverages, the automo-tive industry, construction, electrical and electronic goods, medical engi-neering, the chemical industry and sports and leisure. They all have one thing in common: a strong demand for plastics and rubber and for state-of-the-art functional packaging. As the modernisation of Russia’s dome-stic industry continues to be in need of strengthening, innovative machi-nery is just as much in demand as raw materials, packaging, tools, tech-nical components and industrial ser-vices. These are good conditions for the international exhibitors at interpla-stica and UPAKOVKA/UPAK ITALIA 2014. The two leading trade fairs in plastics and rubber and in packaging and process engineering will be held simultaneously from 28 to 31 Janua-ry. Trade visitors can look forward to an even wider range than at previous events. In all, approximately 1,000 exhibitors will be showcasing their innovative products and services on a net space of about 17,000 square metres.To cater for this increase in demand, more halls will be occupied at Mo-scow’s exhibition centre EXPOCEN-TRE in Krasnaya Presnya: interpla-stica 2014 will be held in Halls 1, 8 and in the Forum, and Hall 3 will be used for the first time. UPAKOVKA/

UPAK ITALIA will again be filling Halls 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3. For the exhibitors and visitors of both trade fairs the new hall distribution plan will mean an even clearer structure of products and services, while at the same time ensuring the proximity of the two exhibitions which are technically and thematically related. Moreover, stand space will be easier to expand – as requested by a number of exhibitors.Hall 3, which is used at interplastica for the first time, will be the hub of extrusion and injection moulding in January 2014, and trade visitors can look forward to a wide range of inno-vative equipment. However, an exten-ded spectrum will be on offer not only in plastics and rubber machinery, but also in the raw material sector where many new attractive exhibitors will be represented.The exhibitors at interplastica and UPAKOVKA/UPAK ITALIA will be co-ming from around 25 different na-tions. The countries that will be particularly strongly represented at both exhibitions are the host count-ry Russia as well as Germany, Italy and France. At interplastica, there

will also be large delegations from Austria, Turkey, Poland and the Peo-ple’s Republic of China.The presentations of the interplasti-ca exhibitors will be complemented by a special show entitled “Meeting Point Raw Materials” in Hall 1. The open exhibitors’ seminars with their innovative developments in raw ma-terial production and application were very well received by trade visi-tors in January 2013 and will there-fore be continued under the proven partnership with the Russian plastics medium Plastinfo.ru.As before, UPAKOVKA/UPAK ITALIA will have an accompanying program-me where experts from the packa-ging industry will be offering addi-tional value. The highlight will be a special show called “Future Forum – Trends for the Russian Market”. This trend show will feature selected exhi-bitors with detailed presentations and explanations of their technical innovations. It will be a good opportu-nity for face-to-face chats with users who can then discuss market requi-rements and solutions and make new contacts.

GOOD PROSPECTS FOR INTERPLASTICA AND UPAKOVKA/UPAK ITALIA IN MOSCOW

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

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

Marketing❱ Marketing and catering equipment❱ Services, institutes, research, me-dia
