ProPak Asia 2011 returns bigger than ever with its 19th edition this year. The show features 1,125 exhibitors from

40 countries presenting more than 3,200 machines and products, a jump from the 908 participants of last year.

Dav id A iken , MD of Bangkok Exhibition Services (BES), the organiser of the show, believes that under the concept of ‘Go Clean Go Green’, “visitors will be impressed by the comprehensive range of products on display from renowned international brands that are committed to helping business in Asia improve their cost control, energy effi ciency and environmental management without affecting production performance and profi tability”.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, he said that the event has grown to its largest occupancy in its history, and with 95 percent of the machineries on display from international participants, it will hopefully help fuel the growth of Thai exports by offering advanced packaging solutions.

Highlights of the show include the co-location of Eco5 that features green technology that specifically focuses on energy and production effi ciency in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical manufacturing sectors.

The conference, seminar and workshop programmes cover a wide scope, from food science and materials developments to global production and technology trends.

InnovatIon Is key to eConoMyThe 12th ASEAN Food Conference marks the return of this idea exchange platform

The Start Of Greatness

to Thailand after a 23-year absence. This biennial event was last held in this country in 1988. Through the theme of ‘Food Innovation: Key To Creative Economy’, the organisers seek to highlight signifi cant developments in research and innovations in food science and technology, with an emphasis on food products innovation.

The conference will feature a series of presentations and discussions in plenary, concurrent and poster sessions, informal gatherings, competitions and exhibitions. Darunee Edwards, president of Food Science and Technology Association of Thailand (FoSTAT), urges everyone to listen to the advices given by the expert speakers present, as the “implementation of the new knowledge will help improve existing practices and increase competitiveness for healthy and wealthy society”.

Besides the conferences, there are assemblies of international experts and sector specialists and professionals in dedicated zones of PharmaTech Asia 2011, DrinkTech Asia 2011 and PlasTech Asia 2011.

A record 19 international and regional pavilions including China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Singapore, France, US, Germany, Bavaria and UK is also present. This year marks the debut of exhibitors from India, Hong Kong, Spain, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Denmark, Australia, UAE, Czech Republic, Sweden and Canada.

By mitigating the integration of the exhibition’s theme of ‘Go Clean Go Green’, a comprehensive showcase of eco industrial

development is available to refl ect Asia’s growing focus on environmental issues.

BelIeve In thaIland CaMpaIGnIncreasing productivity of Thailand’s exhibition sector and paving the way for the country to become a preferred and recognised destination in Asia for exhibitors and visitors are the objectives of Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau (TCEB).

Exhibition director, Supawan Teerarat, elaborated that ProPak Asia 2011 was chosen to be part of the ‘Believe In Thailand’ campaign, which aims to drive and develop the country’s domestic meetings, incentives, conferencing and exhibitions (MICE) industry as part of the government’s policy, due to its success and scale.

An estimated sale of over US$650 million is expected to be negotiated during the four-day event.

As deputy minister of commerce Alongkorn Ponlaboot noted, the event enables the region’s manufacturers to access world leading technology, ensuring the highest possible standards of production are achieved in the country’s expanding industry.

“The exhibition is not just a mere demonstration of packaging and processing technology, but a crucial meeting point for knowledge exchange and business networking,” says Mr Aitken.

The show opens daily from 10 am to 6 pm, and will continue until June 18,2011, at Halls 101-104 of BITEC, Bangkok, Thailand. n

The Green Challenge

Brewing Conference 2011 makes a return to ProPak Asia. Themed ‘Going Green—Challenges for the Asia Pacific Brewing

Industry’, the focus is on tackling topics surrounding the development and progress of a ‘greener’ business within the brewing industry.

The conference, organised by the Thailand Beer Industry Guild (TBIG), VLB Berlin and Bangkok Exhibition Services, is the third of a series of informative international brewing industry conferences organised in Bangkok, Thailand.

The programme is structured by the VLB and TBIG, drawing on the knowledge of international brewing and beverage industry professionals to provide a region specific programme covering issues most pertinent to operations in Asia Pacific.

The event has seen 250 participants as of June 15, and expects to welcome an additional 50 participants within the coming days till June 17, which marks the conclusion of the event.

The opening session chaired by Ms Chonlada Manakul, chairwoman of TBIG/Carlsberg, features speakers from various parts of the brewing industry.

The keynote address by Dr Rosarin Samitapintu, of the Royal Chitralada Project, looks at the management of energy with the use of alcohol. She also highlights the promotion of ethanol and bio-diesel as fuel within Thailand, and a way to a greener society. With regard to energy strategies, one of the objectives is to increase renewable energy from 0.5 percent to eight percent.

She says: “Such utilisation of agricultural product base energy will not only help stabilise commodity price, but also decrease the nation’s energy dependency on foreign oil.” She adds that due to this, the government has placed high priority on seeking new and renewable

resources, so as to reduce the country’s dependency on fossil fuels.

Market trends & InnovatIonsMajor players of the brewing industry are beginning to make significant investments in the Indo China region, with brewing plants set up in countries like Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia.

With this, Philipe Chan, Asia manager of Canadean, takes the participants on an overview of the region’s beer market, which sees China taking up 20-30 percent of growth within the period of 2009 to 2010. He added that although India is just a little behind China, it is set for more growth.

When it comes down to the marketing and development of beer, Mr Chan says that inflation has driven manufacturers to resort to solutions that would contribute to cost cutting. For example, some companies in China has downsized their bottles, but kept the original price.

Some other trends on the market include alcohol free beer and private labelling in Japan, and PET bottled beer in China. Manufacturers such as Suntory, are also producing flavoured beer, which has a lower alcohol content and contains fruity flavours.

developMents In the Beer supply ChaIn Moving from traditional processing to innovative technologies, Dr Roland Folz of VLB Berlin says that the industry has been successful in meeting new challenges with open fermenters and automated yeast propagation.

Dr Roland explains the factors to consider in setting up a brewing plant, and that the trend is moving away from huge sites to those of smaller, manageable footprint. The importance of a flexible supply chain is also emphasised, in order to meet changing customer demands.

The three pillars of sustainability are economic, social and ecologic, which focuses on water and CO2 footprint, reduced energy consumption, and less wastage. Technologies, such as the semi-continuous brewhouse, has the potential to deliver significant energy, water and extract benefits.

Some other methods are the direct steam injection; clarification which minimises waste and uses the cross flow method for the polyphenol stabilisation of beer; as well as no tunnel pasteurisation, which boasts of a hygienic design and development in exterior filler cleaning and sterile filtration.

InvestMent For a Greener Future “Our common challenge is the increase of prices for raw materials, energy & transport, shortage of water, and moral commitment towards natural resources,” starts Volker Mewes of Ziemann Group.

Mr Mewes talked about the overall engineering and design of a brewing plant, and advised for the plant to have a compact layout and architecture, with one control room for the complete brewery. With regard to the brewing process, manufacturers can consider implementing solutions such as a gentle boiling and energy saving system, and CIP plant design.

As for utilities, manufacturers are enlightened on energy concepts, and the solutions that are available for refrigeration, as well as water treatment and management. n

ThaiStar Packaging Awards 2011 was organised to help add value to products from enterprises to increase their aesthetic appeals in order to

stand out in the competitive market. The theme for this year is ‘Green Packaging in

Thai Style’, mixing traditional value with the growing concern on the environment. To qualify for the competition, designs must encompass the philosophy

Beyond The Stars

of the three Rs—reduce, recycle and reuse. On top of that, entries are judged based on six

categories—innovation, functionality/convenience, aesthetic appeal, appropriateness/ efficiency & commercial viability, environmental performance, as well as overall impression.

Eight finalists were selected for each of the two categories, Prototype Consumer Package and Prototype

Transportation Package. All the finalists, along with 20 selected products currently available in the market will be sent for AsiaStar Packaging Awards 2011, which will happen later this year, to compete for a chance to be shortlisted for the WorldStar Packaging Awards.

The winners of the respective categories for this year’s awards are:

Prototype Consumer Package1st Prize – Nawat Saksirisilp2nd Prize – Puchong Khahasuwan3rd Prize – Ticharkron Pipattawachai

Prototype Transportation Package1st Prize – Pimpun Na-Gola2nd Prize – Anurak Krueatip3rd Prize – Karat Lehmongkol n

The packaging industry demands for durable machines with better performance in terms of speed, greater accuracy in terms of weight and

increased flexibility in terms of film options. However, for the Asian market, there is a dominant

concern that preoccupies the mind of potential customers—cost.

Cost ConsIderatIonThe requirements of Asian customers are more stringent and challenging. According to Gunter Wolf, owner and CEO of Wolf, the money-conscious folks of the region are always on the lookout for cost efficient machines that are able to provide high quality packaging solutions.

For a company that offers tai lor-made machineries according to the needs of its clients, this naturally means reducing production cost such that the machines are available at a more competitive price point.

Tailor-made For AsiaIn order to address the demands of the cost-conscious Asian market, Wolf is offering money-saving options with similar quality that are made in Asia. By Wong Tsz Hin

That is the main motivation behind the company’s establishment of a manufacturing plant in China four years ago. The objective of this move is to benefit from lower operation cost without compensating on overall quality.

While there are some differences between the machines made in China and in Europe, Mr Wolf was quick to assure that the company works hard to ensure “the same technology is implemented”.

The company also ensures that it is up to date with improving standards on aspects such as sealing pressure and temperature, and packaging efficiency.

eXpansIon In asIaAsia remains a big market for the company, which is exploring the option of opening a regional office in Vietnam, alongside those located in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. Although there is no plan at the moment to set up a manufacturing plant in the ASEAN region, the company intends to expand the one in China.

Mr Wolf is optimistic about the future of the Asian market, which he expects to continue to grow. Having secured a position over the last 20 years, he “looks forward to be in this field for the next 10-20 years.” n

Slated for completion within the next 12 months, the sales and engineering office will be a starting point for further expansion into the country. The

main manufacturing site will be in Thailand, and future developments will depend on India’s market growth.

Mike Allin, the MD of Solids Handling And Process Engineering (SHAPE), says: “The middle class is booming, their habits are changing, and supermarkets are becoming more prevalent in India. This means that food processing companies are changing the way they’re moving forward. So, we believe that India is the place to be.”

The company provides equipment and systems for the handling and processing of dry powders or dry goods, and about 80 to 90 percent of its business is in the food industry. With 95 percent of its turnover coming from exports in 2010, this year the company plans to increase its growth further by 15 percent.

saFety FIrst!As one of the major suppliers of food products, the bar for food safety in Asia has continuously moved higher.

SHAPE To Open Indian Office

This is in a bid to cater to purchasers who demands a heightened level of safety standards. One of the methods employed in ensuring that unwanted foreign particles do not get into food products during the manufacturing process is metal-detection. However, what happens when a piece of an operator’s rubber glove accidentally falls in?

Mr Allin shares that a method to overcome this challenge is with the use of metal-detectable plastics. “To the naked eye, the products look just like normal plastic or polymer-based products. But, the difference is that when the polymer was manufactured, they have been impregnated with an additive that will activate the metal detector, and in some cases X-Ray machines,” he says.

As the technology development lies in the base-polymer, it can be used to produce common accessories in a food plant, such as hair nets, gloves and arm protectors. Mr Allin adds: “On the other side is engineering plastics and rubbers. As we have an impregnated silicon rubber, it means that metal detectable gaskets can also be provided.” n

Much of the foodservice industry need fully-cooked products for fast in-store or on-site preparation. By Paul Heness, food technologist, Heat And Control

A Fry Up Of Convenience

In response to consumer meat demand and the ever-growing regulation surrounding responsibility of processors

to provide high quality products, the meat processing industry has changed dramatically over the last 20 years.

The convenience and ready-to-eat markets, including the growing fast food and food-service industries, have opened up opportunity for meat processors to expand into further processing of meat products.

This time-saving market for consumers, was an ideal expansion for meat processors, where further processing such as coating, par-cooking and full cooking seemed like a natural progression as operations could easily expand the cooking side of the existing processing line.

From here, increased the need to improve product integrity, quality and hygiene standards in order to guarantee consumer satisfaction, as well as developing systems that offer flexibility for alternating different types of products.

ConvenIenCe FoodsThe growth of meat based convenient foods has grown in both the retail and the food service sector. To service this growth processing improvements, machinery developers are still required to provide some of the following:

• Inline Fat AnalysisSome systems have utilised the Near Infrared (NIR) technology to deliver systems that can measure fat, moisture and protein levels during the mixing and grinding phase. This has dramatically reduced the lead-time for results from days to nearly real time with obvious production and quality enhancements.

• Multi-Stage Continuous FryersThese fryers are two semi-independent frying systems, working in tandem to deliver high volume, high quality fried product, while at the same time maintaining high levels of oil integrity.

Both systems can typically utilise various oil filtering systems to remove the smallest of powder breading from the oil. However, for oil level control, both systems work as one unit.

In addition, these systems can come with internal by-pass conveyor systems to cater for products that require baking, and no frying. This minimises the duty and required cleaning of the fryer systems.

• Heatwave FryersThe special frying systems differ radically from the traditional immersion style of frying. Rather, it enrobes the product in a series of oil curtains.

The basic principle of this system is to remove the issue of thermal transfer problems due to the vapour barrier surrounding frying foods. Being

an indirectly heated fryer, the oil is continually filtered as it passes over the food product.

twIn druM spIral ovensThese units optimise the yield return to the processor at the same time delivering product of a very high standard. Each drum can be customised to perform at different cooking parameters. For example, the first drum is set to a relatively high wet dry bulb setting to cook the product, while the second oven has a much drier, hotter environment which delivers the required external colour and crust development. Some twin drum systems can have the oven walls lifted for ease of maintenance and cleaning.

• Continuous Nugget FormersMeat nuggets (portions of meat) destined for pizza toppings have and continue to, increase in demand. Continuous nugget forming systems were developed to deliver product at around 1,000 kg/hr.

Instead of the previous form of reciprocating motion to form nuggets, this system undertakes this duty via a form of extrusion, thereby improving product quality, volume and integrity.

• Ready-To-Eat Foods More processors are cooking products fully today, with the growth of the ready-to-eat meals market. It is expected that processors must be able to provide a wide range of fully cooked products to a diverse consumer in order to be competitive in the marketplace.

Much of the foodservice industry needs such products for fast in-store or on-site preparation. Fully cooking the product before it leaves the plant also helps maintain good food-safety protocols.

One area that has shown growth is pre-packaged, fully cooked product primals, or large meat cuts. Examples are bone-in beef products that have been marinated, slow cooked, packaged and frozen, so the customer only needs to heat the product for serving.

produCt InteGrItyIn-line continuous checking/inspection equipment has been developed to ensure the integrity of the raw and finished product. Metal detection systems continue to be a major element in product integrity, and processors are now using real time X-ray equipment more extensively.

These X-ray systems work in both the raw and finished areas, thereby minimising any product contamination, or system downtime due to damage from foreign materials. These elements not only help maintain the quality standard of the product, but also help satisfy due diligence of safety systems. n

Combination of low pressure boiling with steam pressures and vacuum evaporation technology can provide quality products and favourable energy consumption values. By Dr Hans-Jörg Menger, Clemens Thüsing, Dr Wolfgang Karstens, Jörg Klaiber and Kornel Vetterlein, Ziemann Ludwigsburg

Gentle boiling is the combination of vacuum evaporation technology with low-pressure steam boiling, where boiling is carried out at

steam pressures of ≤ 0.8 bar on the wort kettle. Boiling of the wort cannot be viewed as a single

step; it is rather a combination of several processes.

researCh FIndInGsThe fl exible technological and energy consumption options that are made possible by combining low pressure steam wort boiling, and subsequent treatment with vacuum evaporation have been examined and scientifi cally verifi ed in a master project, conducted parallel to the fi rst large scale plants.

The results show that gentle boiling with subsequent treatment of the wort is virtually essential for the production of quality worts. It was also possible to show that for suffi cient degradation of dimethyl sulfi de (DMS) precursors into free DMS, a boiling time of approximately 60 to 80 minutes is required.

As opposed to this required boiling/temperature holding time, for the effective precipitation of degraded free DMS, a boiling time of merely approximately 25 to 35 minutes is necessary.

At the end of this period, a balance is reached between reformed DMS and driven out free DMS.

This proves that only that share of free DMS, formed as a result of the thermal splitting (degradation), can be driven out during this part of the process, as this is the only DMS in the wort at this time.

The attempt to evaporate all free DMS out of the wort through prolonged boiling increases the thermal load, but is of no advantage in terms of evaporation effi ciency. This results in an ineffi cient relationship between the quality-impairing thermal load with subsequent increase in TBA and the energy input required for effective degradation of the DMS precursors.

FleXIBIlIty Is keyThe question that arises from these results: how can the quality of the cast wort be optimised beyond the improvement achieved with secondary evaporation?

The solution is seen in the combination of low pressure boiling with steam pressures of ≥0.8 bar in combination with vacuum evaporation technology: the gentle boiling system, a combination of gentle wort boiling and subsequent treatment with vacuum evaporation, that simultaneously provides highest qualities and favourable energy consumption values. n

Over the last two years, the industry experienced a global economic downturn, declining consumer

spending power, volatile packaging materials prices and more diffi cult access to capital investment. This combination of factors has resulted in a slowdown, and in some cases, complete reversal of longer-term beverage packaging design trends.

shIFt In FoCusOver the last two years, the focus has shifted strongly to cost and cost-related factors, such as materials reduction, light weighting and improvements in line effi ciency, fi lling techniques and cost effi ciency.

As some countries have begun to emerge from the recession in 2010, there are signs that the underlying long-term economic, demographic and consumer-led changes are beginning to have the upper infl uence again, causing packaging design to revert to trend.

retaIl CoMpetItIonCompetition at the retail level has increased enormously since 2008. This has resulted in strong downward pressure on product pricing, and as such, also packaging costs.

The main benefi ciaries of this were initially the discount retailers. They achieved accelerated growth in many countries by taking share from the supermarkets as consumers searched for greater value for money.

response & GloBal trendsAs some countries have begun to come out of recession in 2010, there appear to be early signs of a return in packaging design towards value added and convenience features.

Some key global trends over the last two years include:

• Continued PET growth in most beverage categories

• Hot fi ll PET being increasingly used for hot fi ll juices and nectars, and panel less hot fi ll PET bottles taking share in various categories

• Extended use of biodegradable plastics

• General shift from heavy, rigid containers to lighter weight, fl exible packaging and pouches

• Increase in the growth rate of barrier plastics

• Reduction in bottle and closure weights without loss of performance and functionality

• Greater emphasis on environmental issues and a shift in concern from packaging waste and recycling towards carbon emissions and total

environmental impact of product and pack

ChInese powerhouseDomestic consumption in China and some other emerging markets is now beginning to take off strongly. Previous market features are expected to resurface as the key drivers of packaging innovation and change.

These include re-rising disposable income levels, a return to trading up and convenience features, as well as underlying demographic changes such as long term trends toward smaller household sizes, longer working hours, urbanisation and globalisation.

All these factors will ensure that packaging continues to play a vital role in determining the success or failure of new products and brands over the next fi ve years. n

A successful design of a PET bottle for beer, water or soft-drinks is always preceded by a process of exciting

complexity. The challenge involved is to create a product that functions properly and looks appealing. The creative part and the technical part have to complement each other, and maintain equilibrium; form and function have to match.

The container shapes have to satisfy the requirements of a high-speed line in all respects. The experts marry machinery know-how and process engineering expertise to creative bottle design ideas.

FroM sketCh to ModelThe product development work carried out is tasked with combining ideas with the technically feasible possibilities in order to create a viable product.

There are various elements available as modules for designing a

From Sketch To reality

PET container, like the base, the neck fi nish and the sidewalls.

From a hand-drawn sketch, the next step is to produce a 2D drawing, in which the specifi ed volumes and fi ll levels have already been incorporated. If the 2D and 3D drawings of the bottle chime with the client’s ideas, they will be converted into a binding template for designing the bottle mould. If so desired, 3D acrylic-glass or plastic models of the subsequent bottle can be produced as demonstration samples, so that the client can hold an initial model in his hands.

Mould produCtIonMould design work begins with a dimensioned drawing of the container concerned. The blow-moulding process triggers a re-shrinking effect, which has to be factored into these dimensions. Using this design, the individual parts are then built up as a

3D model, a negative of the mould shell or the base produced, and the requisite modifi cations incorporated like vent boreholes or length adjustment.

The production operation for the moulds uses program-controlled high-speed, fully automated milling machines that image the desired bottle contour in the mould with maximised accuracy. The aluminium shells are milled in a tolerance range of plus/minus one 500th of a millimetre. By way of comparison: a human hair measures about two-tenths of a

millimetre in diameter. Final testing and inspection puts the individual parts together to form a complete mould, so as to provide the requisite quality assurance.

The series moulds are meticulously laser-tested before bottles are made under realistic conditions on the client’s own production machine prior to delivery. Only when all the stipulations involved have been met can an approval be issued. Only then is the new container ready for the bottling line and the supermarket. Mission accomplished. n

Fully automatic high-speed milling machines image the desired bottle contour in the mould.
