assisted in bringing together over 1,000 companies from more than 40 countries worldwide for this year’s event.

I would like to also extend a warm Thai welcome to all our international visitors attending ProPak Asia 2011. We wish all participants, delegates and visitors an enjoyable and successful ProPak Asia 2011.

Mr Patrapee ChinachotiChairmanBangkok Exhibition Services

On behalf of the Royal Thai Government, I would like to welcome all participants to ProPak

Asia 2011 and extend our full support to this important international exhibition and conference.

The event has developed in Thailand to become not only the leading international processing and packaging event in Asia, but also one of Thailand’s most professional and prestigious exhibitions across all sectors.

Thailand’s processing and packaging industries have experienced tremendous growth over the past decade. The country is now the second largest food exporter in Asia, with about half of all production being sold to overseas markets.

The rapid expansion of Thailand’s food manufacturing industry would not be possible without its high level investment in standards, technology and production.

ProPak Asia 2011 enables the region’s

Towards A Prosperous ProPak Asia 2011!

manufacturers to access world leading technology ensuring the highest possible standards of production are achieved for our expanding industry. The event, however, is not limited to only food manufacturing.

With much of the technology and developments embracing a wide range of industries for which Thailand is fast becoming the production hub, the fair also involves industries such as pharmaceutical, cosmetic, consumer goods, automotive and various other industrial applications.

As an event representing the regional hub, ProPak Asia 2011 also hosts the ASEAN Food Conference that will serve as a meeting point for Asia’s leading international experts and industry representatives, to share information, identify the trends and develop the industry’s production, quality and standards.

I would like to congratulate the organisers, Bangkok Exhibition Services on their successful organisation of the event, and for their professionalism in bringing together ProPak Asia 2011 with the support from various associations, institutes and governments agencies.

I would also like to wish all participants a successful and prosperous event.

Creativity & Knowledge Competency

Welcome to ‘ASEAN Food Conference 2011’, and ProPak Asia 2011.

The theme of the conference is ‘Food Innovation: Key to creative economy’, and will consist of 42 oral presentations and 242 scientific posters.

It is supported by several co-organisers including the Agro-Industry Academic Council Association and especially Khon Kaen University, AOAC Thailand, ASEAN Sub-committee on Food Science and Technology, and the Federation of the Institute of Food Science and Technology in ASEAN (FIFSTA), as well as support from Bangkok Exhibition Services (BES).

On June 16 , FoSTAT also puts forward the undergraduate competition called ‘FoSTAT – Nestle Quiz Bowl 2011’. Teams from food science and technology, as well as related subjects from different universities in Thailand are to compete in their knowledge of food science.

The top winner from Thailand will then represent the country to compete in the ASEAN Quiz Bowl 2011 on June 17.

Another activity to watch is the ‘Food Innovation Contest’, which takes place on June 17. The 10 short listed teams of undergraduate students from the food science and product development degree are to compete

in their technological capability, for the creation of food products. The winning teams will be awarded with trophies and cash.

May I take this opportunity to express a sincere thanks to BES, who has always supported our activities, and I would like to express our sincere thanks to our sponsors and partners: Berli Jucker Public, Coca-Cola (Thailand), Dutch Mill, Malaysian Palm Oil Council, Nestle (Thai), Thai Wah Food Products, and The Thai Dairy Industry.

On behalf of FIFSTA, we would like to invite all to attend the ASEAN Food Conference 2011, and I do hope you enjoy the Thai hospitality. n

In 2010, the 18th edition of ProPak Asia welcomed over thirty thousand trade buyers from 59 countries across

the world. This resulted in revenues of approximately 30 billion Baht, which is a success for Thailand’s exhibitions industry.

As a public organisation operating directly under the PM’s Office, TCEB is responsible for promoting meetings, incentives, conventions, and exhibitions, known by the acronym ‘MICE’.

ProPak Asia was selected as part of TCEB’s ‘Better the Best’ campaign last year. This campaign selects leading industry tradeshows to become a ‘Champion Show’—an award that given to ProPak Asia again this year.

TCEB has supported Bangkok Exhibition Services (BES) by promoting this event through marketing and public relations efforts, including a series of road shows in many countries, in order to increase business opportunities. Opportunities were created for the event organisers to meet with targeted groups and to persuade trade buyers to participate in the event.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the organisers for their professionalism and contribution in bringing together ProPak Asia 2011, which has support from both private sectors and government agencies. I would also like to congratulate everyone involved with this effort for such a successful project.

Finally, I would like to also wish every participant success in their endeavours. n

World Class Efficiency

Being aware that international trade is becoming increasingly competitive, Thai entrepreneurs

find it necessary to upgrade their management system to attain efficiencies levelled with the rest of the world.

We aim to maintain competitiveness of Thai industries and to sustain our share in the world market. The effectiveness of a management system relies very much on the tools employed.

GS1 Thailand of the Federation of Thai Industries has assumed a major role in promoting the GS1 global standard barcode into effect in supply

chain management. Its implementation has resulted

in higher efficiencies in many areas. Complexity reduced and time saved in inventory control as well as point-of-sale trading. It has contributed to the country’s potential to compete in the world markets as Thai products are now of higher standard than before. It has also made product traceability possible.

GS1 Thailand is the registrar of Electronic Product Code or EPC, which combines with Radio Frequency Identification or RFID technology to provide a tool for storing product data on a microchip within the EPC tag. Its

implementation is aimed to enhance product management efficiencies even further. We pride ourselves on being able to contribute stronger existence of Thai industries in the global trade.

On behalf of GS1 Thailand, I appreciate the executives and e x h i b i to r s w h o r e a l i s e t h e importance of GS1 global standard barcode, one of the tools that will drive Thai industries to be internationalisation. I wish the organiser, Bangkok Exhibition Services as well as other concerned organisations a successful and productive ‘ProPak Asia 2011’. n

Product Tracking:

From Pasture To PlateEffective management of perishable goods in a supply chain requires mechanisms that ensure safety and accountability to all parties. By Jeff Baum, senior VP, Manhattan Associates International (Asia Pacifi c)

Food industry faces challenges especially with regards to cold chain management, where companies

operating in this space must continually comply with regulatory standards, and adhere to industry best practice.

StePS oF imPRovement The food industry is responding to these challenges by developing and introducing food safety measures and legal requirements to track and control the sourcing and distribution of food goods.

In 2009 for example, the US Department of Agriculture’s Country of Origin Labelling (COOL) programme went into effect. This requires that most meats, wild and farm-raised fi sh and shellfi sh, fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables, macadamia nuts, pecans, ginseng and

faced by processors, suppliers and retailers as they attempt to comply with the requirements. These include:

• Tracking historic product movementEach participant in the chain may have different tracking systems that are not able to communicate with each other.

• Lack of electronic tracking The majority of systems in place are manual processes with paper documentation that must be physically forwarded.

• Electronic solutionsNo government standards have been established as to how data is to be collected, so companies are hesitant to risk creating the infrastructure needed to serve multiple-user supply chains that may not meet future guidelines.

• Limited functionality of manual systems Paper-based systems provide only discrete snapshots as a product makes its way through the supply chain. This is a disadvantage in the event of a recall or quality-control issue, when time is of the essence and the retrieval of detailed data is critical.

BeneFitinG evaluation In spite of the challenges, COOL could bring advantages to both consumers and businesses.

If all participants in the supply chain adopted technologies that enable the electronic tracking of commodities, like bar coding, Radio Frequency Identifi cation (RFID) tags and Advance Shipping Notices (ASN), numerous advantages would be realised for both food safety and effi ciency:

Aside from clear labelling at the time of purchase, consumers could use product serial numbers, lot numbers or other unique identifiers to find online data pertaining to product origin, its path to the retailer or to verify its authenticity.

Capturing electronic data as close to the source as possible will streamline operations for ‘downstream’ processing.

In the event of a recall, comprehensive electronic data tracking enables companies to be proactive and immediately accountable.

In the event of quality-control issues,

manufacturers would be able to isolate and identify problem sources even in products containing commodities from multiple points of origin.

SoFtwaRe aPPRoachThere are software solutions that ensure companies have full product visibility throughout the entire supply chain. Among the developments in warehouse management over recent years is the introduction of RFID (or smart tags) to capture constant temperature readings and feed them back into a centralised system. This allows cool chain operators to track temperature readings and also detect if a fl aw has occurred at some stage throughout their supply chain.

In terms of end-to-end traceability, software vendors are developing warehouse management solutions dedicated to achieving this. An example of this can be demonstrated in the Extended Enterprise Management (EEM) solution.

PRoBlem SolvinGSubsequently, it will be interesting to see if the US COOL programme will become the ‘poster child’ for other nations or regions that are struggling to keep abreast of this pertinent but complex issue.

Many countries have investigated the viability of introducing similar programmes; however most have not delved into it to the extent of the US. For example, in 2007, Singapore launched TR 24: 2007 Technical Reference on Cold Chain Management for Vegetables—the fi rst such national standard of its kind for the ASEAN region.

The standard, which sets guidelines for temperature and humidity, for the storage and handling of the vegetables throughout the entire cold chain is probably the most signifi cant of its type to date in the region. As the name suggests however, this standard only covers vegetables.

Given that a large volume of food produce is sourced from Asia by the US, it is inevitable the US COOL Program will eventually have some impact on the food and cold chain industries throughout the Asia Pacifi c region.

Only time will tell if the US COOL program is replicated at a country or regional level. However it is likely that the food industry is probably not the only segment that will face increased safeguards and monitoring. n

peanuts clearly indicate the countries where they were produced, processed and manufactured.

On the surface, the COOL mandate may seem simple and straightforward. However, the US food chain is quite complex and was even called ‘antiquated’ when it comes to dealing with food safety, in a report from the Trust for American’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Ground meats, for example, may contain commodities that were born, raised and processed in three different countries. Further complicating this example is the fact that different products from multiple suppliers may also be combined to create the fi nal item offered for sale to consumers.

Designed to increase output and improve flexibility, the packing machines replace manual hand-packing systems and allow the use of

wrap-around cases. The result is a more flexible system, allowing a changeover of product size and variety in less than 10 minutes, by using a system of moving guides and a series of PLC sequencing programs.

Intelligent merging from two flow-wrapping lines is also possible. An additional benefit is that the machines have a smaller footprint, replacing top-loading machines that require more floor space.

The final stage of each complete packing line consists of a wrap-around case packer and ancillary equipment.

These systems are capable of packing different product types in various configurations. The wrap-around case packer for sponge cakes reaches a maximum speed of 25 cases per minute, while the system loads sponge cake trays at about 200 trays per minute, in a wrap-around case.

Another significant change involves the replacement of pre-printed labels by case coding. This not only saves on label stocks, but also allows the cartons to be printed on both ends, making identification much easier when the cartons are stacked on a trolley or pallet.

SolutionFor automation control on its systems, the machine builder uses the Rockwell Automation Allen-Bradley controller and operator interface. The controller controls the machine cycle and its functions, utilising the basic functionalities of the Allen-Bradley software, while the dedicated application software is developed in-house.

Other equipment used includes the company’s HMI, motor control, inverters, servomotors and drives, and CPU access control.

The controller’s software includes standard program modules for motors, valves, alarms and analogue I/O scaling, standard program modules for PID loops, programs and tasks structures, I/O mapping configuration, process control sequence examples, and safety/process interlock structures.

ReSultSDue to the integration between the axis control and the PLC, there are no networks to manage, no languages to resolve, no duplication of variables or problems with compatibility or timing and no data to exchange.

In addition, the individual components have all been specifically engineered to work together, and each can operate at its maximum potential at all times.

While the individual machine components can communicate via Sercos, the Ethernet protocol is used to manage the settings and to communicate with the corporate supervision system. This way, the parameters can be recalled directly from a special menu via the operator panel, and so simplifying work for operators.

Depending on this setting, all other operating parameters are automatically updated. This means that a single person can control the entire packing line, eliminating the time normally needed for specialist personnel to set all the parameters. n

Vertical baggers lower the cost of labor and materials plus boost sustainability. By Robin Thurgood, VP & GM, Rennco LLC

Cost Cuttingopportunities

Vertical Bagging:

For a wide range of products, automating the bagging process with a vertical bagging

machine offers the advantages of lowering operating costs, while improv ing p roduc t i v i t y and sustainability.

Vertical bagging machines form the bag around the product. As the fi lm travels vertically around and down over the product, vertical equipment is ideal for bagging items that are longer than they are wide, have irregular shapes, or are pieces and parts for a kit.

Products most often packed with this method include:• Food service items – cups, lids, knives, forks, and spoons• Bulk packaging – bottle caps• Irregularly shaped products

Vertical bagging machines can make bags from 2 inches square (0.8 cm) to 65 inches by 24 inches (1.7 m by 0.6 m). Vertical bagging machines come in semi-automatic for hand loading and fully automated. Typical throughput in automated mode ranges from 10 to 35 bags a minute depending upon product size.

incReaSeD thRouGhPutIn both automated and semi-automatic configurations, vertical bagging machines offer throughput advantages over hand packing of pre-made bags.

SuStainaBilitYShipping rolls of fi lm requires fewer trucks for the equivalent amount of pre-made bags. This means less oil consumed and reduced greenhouse gas generation.

Vertical bagging machines provide the organisation with the ability to specify the lightest gauge fi lm for the application because the weight of the product pulls the fi lm, giving it additional stiffness.

mateRial coSt SavinGSFor many organisations, investing in vertical bagging technology can be cost justifi ed on material savings alone. The bagging machine can use one roll to make many different bags. This means the organisation is not tying up funds in excessive inventory.

Depending on the volume of the application and the type and sizes of pre-made bags used, organisations can experience a 40 to 70 percent decrease in material costs in the transition from pre-made bags to centre-folded roll stock.

keY attRiButeS In terms of control technology, the machines should feature the latest PLCs, human machine interface (HMI) devices, and communications technology. All machine functions, such as bag length, seal opening, heater setting, dwell time, and other parameters, should be controlled from the HMI. The interface should be easy to use and intuitive for employees, especially entry-level personnel.

Look for fi lm feed and seal assembly controlled by servomotors for fast, precise operation. Also look for a constantly heated, coated ‘seal bar’, which helps ensure high-throughput, smokeless, and odourless sealing. n

BUHLER:

BAKed not friedBuhler’s Aeroglide hot air impingement technology is producing ‘baked not fried’ snacks. The AeroExpander provides snack and cracker producers working from a half pellet base, the option of using hot air expansion on a true continuous production system—at capacities comparable with traditional oil fried or sand roasted pellets.

The equipment allows the fl exibility of running a variety of pellet ingredient bases, shapes and sizes. Oil for taste enhancement and seasoning application can be added after hot air expansion, resulting in a low oil content product and reduced production costs when compared to traditional fried products.

HEAT AND CONTROL:

HigH cApAcity BAtcH fryerHeat and Control’s MasterTherm batch fryer can produce just over 225 kg/hr of batch fried potato chips of almost any style. Cooking oil is heated gently and uniformly throughout the fryer by a thermal fl uid heat exchanger, which is immersed in the oil.

Features include a continuous fi nes removal system, an oil mist eliminator that removes oil droplets from exhaust emissions, and a screw jack hoist system that safely raises the hood and heat exchanger for complete access inside the fryer.

Potato slices are automatically agitated and removed from the fryer by the Chip-Stirr paddle system. PLC control maintains a consistent temperature profi le from batch to batch, and stores multiple product profi les for quick changeovers and repeatable product quality.

The PortionCutters (I-Cut 22)Accurate from Marel is a portion cutter that features a hygienic and easy to use design. The machine has a 45 deg cutting angle, allowing products to maintain their natural appearance.

The machine is a high-speed dual-lane portion cutter made for high portioning capacity of fi xed-weight and/or length specifi c poultry products. It is ideal for products with a maximum width of 190 mm and height of 40 mm. The design uses a high-speed laser vision system to maintain accuracy with up to 1,500 cuts/min per knife per lane.

SIDEL:

QuicK cHAngeoVerSAs liquid food packaging companies strive to give consumers more choices, the need for quick format changeovers becomes increasingly important. In response to these productivity needs, Sidel presents its Modulomold technology. It allows several bottles of the same size (up to 0.7 ltr) to be produced in a single mould using removable mould inserts.

The bottles have two shared parts, the labelling area and the base, and can be customised using the inserts. It takes less than 30 seconds to change a set of inserts, from opening the fi rst mould to opening the second. No tools are required to perform the changeover.

KRONES:

contiroLL LABeLLerKrones’ Contiroll labeller machine has a labelling station that cuts fi lm or paper labels and then uses hotmelt to glue them to the containers.

The machine has a servo-controlled container table for special decorations. The orientation of the container is also possible with the use of a camera or sensors. The high-speed machine has a performance of close to 40,000 bph.

COMBISCALE:

priMoWeigHer 360 onLine Support Developed by CombiScale, the 360 Online Support eliminates delays

and costs associated with site visits. All PrimoWeigher 360 combination scales are equipped with

bundled software that allows the service technicians to connect to the equipment through the 360 Operating System.

The on l ine suppor t uses name-brand software including Skype and LogMeIn.

With wireless or landline connectivity, the system requires a pin code and the customer’s consent for the technicians to access the system.

In spite of the economic slowdown in many markets over the last two years, beverage closure demand

has continued to grow strongly. The growth is driven partly by the sustained shift towards pre-packaged beverage consumption in many developing markets, and partly by the continuing growth in popularity of the plastic ‘bottle plus cap’ format — especially PET bottles in smaller ‘on-the-go’ sizes.

GRowth DRiveRS & DemanDSUnderstandably perhaps in the more austere commercial climate, the overwhe lming theme has been improved eff i c iency and cost/weight reduction, linked to growing environmental awareness and marketing focused on more efficient use of increasingly scarce and expensive resources.

This does not mean that the market has lacked innovation, however. Rising use of sports caps, dosing caps and similar ‘added value’ features is testament to the fact that the underlying demographic changes that are driving demand for greater convenience in closure design remain in place.

It means that these ‘added value’ technical and performance features need to be achieved at similar or lower price and reduced closure weight, creating more pressure on beverage closures manufacturers to come up with creative solutions.

aSia aS laRGeSt maRketOn a regional basis, Asia already accounts for the largest share of total annual closure volumes at 36 percent,

equivalent to around 375 billion units. Collectively, the Americas combine

for just under 400 billion, Europe for around 250 billion, and the rest of the world around one tenth of that.

Not only is Asia already the largest market for closure sales, it is also the fastest growing, with annual growth rate for the period 2003 to 2015 at above seven percent — double the global average.

PlaSticS take the leaDLooking at the global beverage closures market in detail, total demand across soft drinks, dairy drinks and beer markets under review amounted to around 1,055 billion closures in 2010.

Of this , r ing-pul l can ends accounted for 24 percent or about 250 billion closures. Plastic closures took a 42 percent share at 440 billion units and metal closures 31 percent or 325 billion.

In the years between 2003 and 2010, plastic closures saw their volumes increase at around 6.5 percent per annum, a combination of rising beverage consumption (in the 2003-2008 particularly), more beverages being sold in plastic bottles and the conversion from other closures to plastic.

Since 2008, the growth rate of plastic closures has dropped, but remained positive and is still forecasted to remain fairly robust in the years to 2015.

Metal closure usage on the other hand is only expected to increase by a single percentage in coming years to maintain growth of three to four percent throughout the period to 2015.

enD-uSe SectoRSFinally, looking at end-use sectors, of the

1,055 billion beverage closures sold in 2010, 58 percent were for soft drinks, 31 percent for beer and just 11 percent for dairy drinks.

In each sector, a significant proportion of product is sold without a closure — in soft

drinks and beer, on-trade dispense plays an important role and in dairy, sachets and the informal milk are prominent in the developing world.

look aheaDIn terms of closures demand, each sector has exhibited positive overall growth in the period 2003 to 2010 and is expected to continue to do so going forward, beer at the same rate, a CAGR of 2.7 percent, dairy at a slightly reduced average — 4.1 percent per year against 4.7 percent in the years to 2010 — and soft drinks at a slightly enhanced rate — 4.1 percent against 3.9 percent.

While it is difficult to generalise at macro level because of regional and even national distinctions, for each sector, the factors underpinning these trends are different.

In milk, a conversion of pouch to carton and plastic bottle has an impact in creating a shift to larger sizes. In soft drinks a continuing desire for greater convenience will see more smaller packs appear. In beer, the bottle and can size expectations are well understood by consumers — 330ml, 500ml, 660ml being the most common — and changes to closure demand may be more associated with conversion between pack types than changes in the pack sizes offered to consumers. n
