PPMA matters<br />
There’s no<br />
slowdown in<br />
making things<br />
Grant Jamieson<br />
CHAIRMAN PPMA GROUP OF ASSOCIATIONS<br />
(INCORPORATING PPMA, BARA & UKIVA)<br />
It’s a busy time of the year for many in manufacturing just<br />
now with no economic slowdown in evidence. Many PPMA<br />
members are reporting excellent order levels and demands for<br />
capital equipment remains buoyant. Customers have done their<br />
homework and are now rolling out their plans. We are a relevant<br />
manufacturing sector and I would argue we can be seen as a<br />
reliable barometer of people’s investment appetite.<br />
Not only are PPMA members rushing around at their day<br />
jobs, they have also been busy demonstrating their wares at<br />
various exhibitions at the NEC, Birmingham. The doors closed<br />
on Drives & Controls, Mach <strong>2016</strong> and Foodex <strong>2016</strong> in April, each<br />
demonstrating a diverse range of technologies. If you did not<br />
manage to visit, you can find reviews of each of these shows<br />
within the pages of this issue.<br />
Customers are rolling out<br />
their plans and demonstrating<br />
an appetite for investment<br />

MACHINE VISION<br />
FOR TRACK & TRACE<br />
There are also a couple of news items included this time on<br />
Open House events that have taken place recently, both of which<br />
were well attended by visitors from end-user companies.<br />
One in particular reports that every attendee had a live project<br />
to discuss during the event.<br />
Currently, it seems that customers need more capacity and<br />
this is not only leading to new equipment being ordered, but in<br />
my company’s case, enquiries about re-commissioning existing,<br />
previously mothballed machinery.<br />
Of course with rising demand, comes a further need for<br />
skilled people and this is a thorny and well publicised issue in<br />
manufacturing. The combination of an ageing workforce and<br />
many young people not finding engineering sexy is toxic to us<br />
all. We, at the PPMA, are trying to address this within our own<br />
membership with our BEST programme which this month, sees<br />
our first participants (see page 7).<br />
These initial bursaries are supporting two undergraduates.<br />
Our aim is to encourage and support students in relevant<br />
disciplines to develop the skills and experience they need to<br />
address the shortages in our industry. As well as proposing match<br />
funded options for colleges, scholarships for STEM 6th form<br />
students and day workshops in secondary schools, grants for<br />
apprenticeships are also available under this scheme.<br />
We are also encouraging students to visit our PPMA Total Show<br />

PPMA member takes up<br />
funds to benefit its staff<br />
The first two bursaries<br />
awarded under<br />
the PPMA’s BEST<br />
educational scheme have been<br />
made to two young people<br />
from bespoke machinery<br />
supplier CME.<br />
These engineering<br />
undergraduate bursaries will<br />
see the PPMA BEST grant<br />
matched by CME. The aim of<br />
this scheme is to help encourage<br />
and support students in<br />
relevant disciplines to develop<br />
the skills and experience they<br />
need to address the shortages<br />
in the industry. It is designed to<br />
encourage existing employees<br />
to embark on courses to benefit<br />
their roles.<br />
In this instance, Ryan Parris<br />
is studying Mechanical<br />
Engineering at UWE in Bristol<br />
and is in his second year. This<br />
is a part time course which he<br />
combines with working in the<br />
design office at CME on various<br />
customer projects.<br />
At the same time, Jonathan<br />
Ryan Parris is at UWE in Bristol<br />
studying Mechanical Engineering<br />
Simmons is in his first year<br />
at Southampton University<br />
studying Electromechanical<br />
Engineering. His gap year was<br />
spent working at CME where<br />
he was involved in several<br />
overseas installations.<br />
CME believes this matchfunding<br />
is a great way of<br />
Jonathan Simmons is studying<br />
at Southampton University<br />
attracting and encouraging<br />
high calibre staff. “We get<br />
great value out of these two<br />

The vast majority of<br />
PPMA (Processing &<br />

Association) members don’t<br />
want to exit Europe.<br />
When the trade body<br />
surveyed its members to ask<br />
if they thought they’d be better<br />
or worse off if the UK exited<br />
Europe, the answer was an<br />
overwhelming 82% believing<br />
they would be worse off and<br />
just 18% think leaving<br />
would bring benefits to the<br />
economy.<br />
Both sides of the Brexit<br />
debate had strong views with<br />
most of the answers showing a<br />
strong concern for trading and<br />
exports. Additionally, there is a<br />
fear of a narrowing market and<br />
damage to the UK economy<br />
from any retaliation from the<br />
EU if the UK does leave.<br />

82%<br />
of the membership felt leaving<br />
the Eurozone would bring<br />
economic danger to the UK<br />
Many of the participants<br />
talked about being part<br />
of a European group or a<br />
connected supply chain so the<br />
consequences of any UK exit<br />
would be serious for them.<br />
Business cut backs, increased<br />
selling costs, job losses,<br />
depleted trading relationships<br />
and general downsizing of UK<br />
offices were also foreseen.<br />
Other participants that<br />
favoured an exit felt that the<br />
money saved from current<br />
EU contributions could be<br />
reinvested in to UK businesses<br />
as well as infrastructure to<br />
the benefit of all. In summary,<br />
the survey showed an<br />
overwhelming sense of members<br />
understanding or perceiving<br />
a danger to the market and<br />
economy from exiting the EU.

Robotic chef can<br />
process ingredients<br />
with great care<br />
As Machinery Update went to<br />
press, OAL and the University<br />
of Lincoln were launching APRIL,<br />
a robotics and automation<br />
development described as<br />
changing the way food is<br />
manufactured. The patented<br />
robotic chef developed by OAL<br />
uses the latest cooking and<br />
material handling technologies<br />
to process ingredients with care<br />
on an industrial scale.<br />
APRIL allows users to scale<br />
up how chefs prepare restaurant<br />
food using flexible robotic cells.<br />
And, says Jake Norman of OAL,<br />
analysis of existing chilled food<br />
plants indicates a 7-14% bottom<br />
line improvement following the<br />
adoption of this technology.<br />

TECHNICAL INNOVATION<br />
IS REWARDED WITH WIN<br />
Rockwell Automation is<br />
celebrating industry endorsement<br />
of its iTRAK motion control<br />
solution. It won the technical<br />
innovation category at the Motion<br />
Control Industry Awards dinner.<br />
The award for iTRAK was<br />
down to the revolutionary design<br />
and build of its independent<br />
movers solution for packaging and<br />
materials handling. By combining<br />
intermittent and continuous<br />
motion into an integrated solution,<br />
Rockwell says iTRAK offers its<br />
users a smaller machine footprint<br />
with reduced maintenance and<br />
changeover time. This increases<br />
throughput potential and flexibility.<br />
Judges felt that iTRAK stood<br />
out in an excellent category because<br />
of its flexibility. They were also<br />

Vision technology day<br />
added value for guests<br />
Over fifty presentations over five tracks were completed during the event held at the Silverstone Wing in March<br />
The second UK Vision<br />
Technology Forum held<br />
by Stemmer Imaging<br />
at the Silverstone Wing saw<br />
more than 300 people gather<br />
for the seminar programme of<br />
over 50 presentations over five<br />
tracks and a mini exhibition<br />
featuring more than 30<br />
international machine vision<br />
technology suppliers.<br />
“We were delighted with<br />
every aspect of the event,”<br />
says Mark Williamson,<br />
director – corporate market<br />
development at Stemmer.<br />
“Attendance levels were<br />
excellent and we were pleased<br />
to welcome many new faces<br />
since over 50% of the visitors<br />
had not been to one of our<br />
events before.”<br />
The format gave attendees<br />
the flexibility to choose<br />
exactly which presentations<br />
they wanted to attend as<br />
well as plenty of time to visit<br />
the exhibition area. Each of<br />
the presentations typically<br />
attracted between 20 – 25<br />
delegates, but some had more<br />
than 40 people listening. The<br />
six ‘hands-on’ sessions for 3D<br />
imaging and the creation of<br />
machine vision applications<br />
using either smart cameras<br />
or multi-camera imaging<br />
software were once again,<br />
fully subscribed.<br />
“It was very rewarding to<br />
see many groups of visitors<br />
engaging in conversation<br />
throughout the day, taking<br />
advantage of the chance to<br />
network with each other and<br />
the vision specialists that were<br />
on hand,” says Williamson.<br />
“Many people commented<br />
on how useful these business<br />
discussions were.”<br />
• Here we highlight just a<br />
couple of sessions from<br />
the machine vision day.<br />

How smart cameras are changing the way<br />
vision is implemented in today’s factories<br />
Graham Brown from Teledyne<br />
DALSA’s spoke about how the<br />
advent of mobile computing<br />
platforms and the ‘internet<br />
of things’, has meant smart<br />
camera capability has never<br />
been greater.<br />
Once relegated to simple<br />
pixel counting algorithms,<br />
today’s smart cameras are<br />
far more powerful, and can<br />
implement sophisticated<br />
machine vision and image<br />
processing algorithms, he<br />
said. “All this and at prices<br />
that have never been lower.”<br />
For instance, the BOA is<br />
a highly integrated optical<br />
inspection tool for controlling<br />
quality and increasing<br />
productivity. It comprises all<br />
the elements of an industrial<br />
machine vision system in a tiny<br />
smart camera style package.<br />
Easy to use and inexpensive,<br />
Teledyne DALSA’s BOA<br />
leverages the full breadth<br />
and depth of the company’s<br />
design, engineering, and<br />
manufacturing expertise<br />
including sensor, camera,<br />
image-processing and vision<br />
software development to<br />
deliver the next generation<br />
in smart camera technology.<br />
BOA offers scalable vision<br />
solutions to satisfy a wide<br />
range of application needs<br />
from positioning robotic<br />

Fully shielded cables are reliable<br />
Considering<br />
cables is a<br />
smart move<br />
US manufacturer CEI Components<br />
Express warned delegates to not<br />
skimp on their choice of cabling for<br />
any of their machine vision projects.<br />
“Why would you jeopardise a<br />
multi-million dollar installation for<br />
the sake of spending a few more<br />
dollars on better quality cabling?”<br />
asked Steve Mott of CEI.<br />
“Don’t get the cheapest cable from<br />
the internet as it may not deliver<br />
what you need.”<br />
He also talked about not<br />
leaving the decision about cabling<br />
until the last minute as it was an<br />
integral part of any successful<br />
implementation project.<br />
There are many factors to<br />
consider when choosing the correct<br />
cable solution for vision systems<br />
such as application environment,<br />
mechanical, orientation and space<br />
constraints. “Vision designers<br />
must consider their industrial<br />
environment location when<br />
selecting a cable suitable for<br />
their systems in order to ensure<br />
the highest possible quality of<br />
implementation,” he said.<br />
Common factors that determine<br />
the appropriate cable include<br />
motion requirements (Static,<br />
C-Track, Robotic); temperature/<br />
flammability/gas emissions;<br />
solvent and UV resistance;<br />
IP Ratings, IP67 (liquids and<br />
water resistance) and finally, noise<br />
EMI/RFI (motors and welders).<br />
Primarily there are three main<br />
types of cables to consider: static<br />
– stationary/no movement; drag<br />
chain – continuous movement<br />
back and forth on X-Y axis and<br />
robotic – continuous movement<br />
including torsional through X-Y-Z<br />
axis as well as several common<br />
jacket material types.<br />
“To guarantee the performance<br />
you require I would urge you to<br />
choose fully shielded, certified<br />
products,” he said.

New Machinery<br />
Turnkey solution allows for<br />
easy legislation compliance<br />
Domino Printing Sciences<br />
has launched a complete<br />
compliance solution that<br />
meets all the requirements<br />
of current and impending<br />
pharmaceutical serialisation<br />
legislation. Called SerialTrac,<br />
it has been designed to allow<br />
turnkey installation on<br />
primary packaging lines.<br />
The solution is equipped<br />
to deal with both internallyand<br />
externally-generated<br />
serial numbers and also offers<br />
aggregation functionality<br />
as standard, including<br />
post-manufacture rework<br />
and repacking – essential<br />
to any pharmaceutical<br />
manufacturing process. And<br />
its patented data compression<br />
techniques reduce the reliance<br />
on large, cumbersome and<br />
expensive databases. “The<br />
high degree of standardisation<br />
means we can offer SerialTrac<br />
as a cost effective, scalable<br />
compliance tool which can be<br />
rapidly installed,” explains<br />
Jim Orford, commercial<br />
programme manager for<br />
SerialTrac at Domino.<br />
With the Delegated<br />
Acts associated with the<br />
EU Falsified Medicines<br />
Directive (FMD) now in the<br />

years’ time. Domino estimates<br />
that a significant proportion<br />

Jim Orford is in the SerialTrac team<br />
SerialTrac has been designed to allow turnkey installation on packaging lines<br />
hard-pressed to meet this<br />
deadline but for some at least,<br />
SerialTrac may be the answer.<br />
“The impact of the FMD<br />
and other serialisation<br />
schemes around the world<br />
should not be underestimated<br />
for any branch of the industry<br />
but Domino recognises that<br />
small to medium-sized<br />
businesses are particularly<br />
hard hit,” says Orford.<br />
“Typically these<br />
manufacturers do not have<br />
the infrastructure or resources<br />
readily available to create<br />
a bespoke solution or to<br />
integrate with an ERP system<br />
– yet they face exactly the<br />
same complexity challenges<br />
as operations ten times their<br />
size,” he says.<br />
Throughout the serialisation<br />
journey, Domino and other<br />
commentators have repeatedly<br />
stated that no single supplier<br />
can provide a complete<br />
solution addressing all the<br />
core disciplines – which<br />
include code generation<br />
and management, code<br />
application and verification,<br />
pack handling, reject and<br />
data storage,<br />
management<br />
and reporting.<br />
Domino’s<br />
response to<br />
this problem,<br />
and the<br />
culmination<br />
of more<br />
than three<br />
years’ work<br />
for the team<br />
involved, is<br />
SerialTrac, which is produced<br />
under the Domino brand by<br />
a consortium of companies<br />
with complementary expertise.<br />
The result, it says, is a proven,<br />
‘out of the box’ serialisation<br />
product that combines best in<br />
class technological solutions<br />
for all aspects of serialisation,<br />
synchronised in a single<br />
SerialTrac Carton EU FMD Code<br />
product from a single supplier.<br />
Most serialisation projects to<br />
date have been out of necessity<br />
based on a bespoke solution<br />
but with SerialTrac, Domino<br />
has taken a different approach,<br />
recognising that the higher the<br />
degree of customisation, the<br />
greater the complexity.<br />
To this end, SerialTrac is not an<br />
application-specific solution;<br />
rather, Domino has called on<br />
the best minds in the business<br />
to create a master specification<br />
that covers the widest possible<br />
range of user requirements.<br />
If the specification does not<br />
cover the application at hand,<br />
then SerialTrac is not the<br />
solution. However, where<br />
the application meets the<br />
specification, the advantage<br />
of SerialTrac is that it is a<br />
complete solution that can<br />
be installed, working and<br />
compliant with minimal<br />
impact on production.<br />
Secure code generation and<br />
management functionality<br />
is based on the Codentify<br />
traceability solution which is<br />
widely proven in the tobacco<br />
sector for fraud prevention and<br />
fiscal recovery. At its heart is<br />
a powerful algorithm<br />
featuring asymetric<br />
encryption<br />
which generates<br />
random codes<br />
from a virtually<br />
infinite number<br />
of combinations.<br />
Installation on<br />
a typical line can<br />
be completed<br />
with minimal<br />
impact to any<br />
production environment<br />
which compares extremely<br />
favourably with the install<br />
requirements for bespoke<br />
systems, which are proving<br />
lengthy for many of the<br />
contractors currently at work<br />
in the field, says Domino.<br />

Bulk bag<br />
filler is easy<br />
to operate<br />
A new rear-post bulk bag filler<br />
featuring a patented swingdown<br />
fill head that pivots to the<br />
operator at floor level for safe,<br />
ergonomic spout connections,<br />
and a low-profile loading deck<br />
that allows removal of filled bags<br />
using a pallet jack is available<br />
from Flexicon (Europe).<br />
The cantilevered fill head pivots<br />
downward to a vertical orientation<br />
that places the inflatable bag spout<br />
seal, inflator button, and four<br />
bag loop latches within an arm’s<br />
length of an operator standing<br />
on the plant floor, eliminating the<br />
need to climb steps, strain or risk<br />
injury associated with overhead<br />
connections to conventional fill<br />
heads in operation.<br />
Once the operator connects<br />
the bag straps and activates the<br />
inflatable bag spout collar, the<br />
filler automatically pivots the fill<br />
head to horizontal, inflates the bag<br />
to remove creases, and activates<br />
a flow control inlet valve or feed<br />
conveyor. As load cells register the<br />
gain in weight, the controller raises<br />
and vibrates the loading deck at<br />
programmed intervals to densify<br />
material and promote flow into<br />
bottom corners of the bag.<br />
Once the bag reaches its target<br />
weight, the controller automatically<br />
stops the flow of incoming material,<br />
deflates the bag spout collar and<br />
releases the bag straps, allowing<br />
the filled bag to be removed.<br />

“A fast changing market<br />
needs a palletising solution<br />
and a shrinkwrapper that is<br />
just as fast,” explains Federico<br />
Sartori, Ocme’s machine<br />
business unit manager.<br />
“The Advance range is<br />
designed to exceed the current<br />
standards of speed at the end<br />
of a line by matching the needs<br />
of our customers to have the<br />
fastest solutions available on<br />
the market,” he says.<br />
This new high performance<br />
range includes the Vega<br />
Advance shrinkwrapper, the<br />
Pegasus Advance palletising<br />
robot and the Orion Advance<br />
in-line palletiser, all of which<br />
are high speed options.<br />
For instance, the<br />
shrinkwrapper can reach<br />
150 cycles per minute<br />
with film only and 120<br />
cycles a minute with a<br />
tray and film, the<br />

robotised palletising system<br />
offers 630 layers an hour and<br />
the in line palletiser can reach<br />
up to 570 layers an hour.<br />
The Pegasus robotised<br />
option includes the Ocme<br />
patented motorised gripper<br />
head for safe control and<br />
offers customers a high degree<br />
of customisation in terms of<br />
pallet layouts or pad and tray<br />
use. The Orion in line machine<br />

New Machinery<br />
End of line range is a modular<br />
offer delivering reliable quality<br />
Alpma GB is now<br />
representing end<br />
of line packaging<br />
machines from German<br />
company Somic in the UK<br />
and Ireland. This is the first<br />
time a UK representative has<br />
been appointed as previously,<br />
machinery was sold direct<br />
from Germany.<br />
The company’s latest<br />
mechatronic 424 series<br />
range includes tray packers,<br />
wraparound units, cartoners,<br />
case erectors, packers and<br />
closers as well as complete<br />
lines, all of which are<br />
engineered within a standard<br />
modular system. This allows<br />
maximum flexibility for users<br />
and the ability to use single<br />
units or to incorporate a<br />
complete line into their plants.<br />
One of the key benefits<br />
of Somic equipment says<br />
Alpma is the combination<br />
of maximum performance,<br />
producing high quality final<br />
cases, within a small footprint.<br />
The flexibility of the range<br />
also allows users to adapt<br />
their production processes to<br />
changing market conditions<br />
quickly and easily.<br />

High speed is a given.<br />
“The engineering standards<br />
of Somic machines and<br />
sophistication of design and<br />
mechatronics gives them an<br />
industry leading position,” says<br />
Nick Aikenhead, managing<br />
director of Alpma GB. “These<br />
are machines for high speed<br />
and challenging applications<br />
where presentation and quality<br />
are priorities.<br />
“Somic has some of the<br />
most competitive equipment<br />
to offer,” he tells Machinery<br />
Update.<br />
Somic was founded by an<br />
ex-Alpma employee over 40<br />
years ago and today, as well<br />
as being close neighbours in<br />
Germany the companies use<br />
the same technologies, from<br />
Elau for motion control and<br />
mechatronics. “This allows<br />
Alpma GB to be well placed<br />
to support Somic equipment<br />
and our customers in the UK,”<br />
says Aikenhead.<br />
Satisfied customers in the<br />
UK talk about the quality of<br />
the final case achieved on the<br />
equipment. Somic systems do<br />
not fold the final case around<br />
the product, but fold it around<br />
a folding head which produces<br />
a superior case shape and<br />
consistent quality, said one<br />
user. “This was important to<br />
our business, especially as<br />
our products are not always<br />
uniform in shape,” he said.<br />
Other customers talk about the<br />
changeover process producing<br />
a perfect case immediately,<br />
without any need for further<br />
adjustments.<br />

self-lubrication system protects<br />
moving parts and ensures<br />
maximum productivity with low<br />

EASY CHANGEOVER<br />
This robust ‘body’ is compact<br />
and is light which enables easy<br />
changeovers for maintenance<br />
purposes while the variable<br />
speed feature allows for easy<br />
synchronisation to the bagging<br />
line. In operation, stitch length<br />
and thread tension can be<br />
adjusted easily and a rotary knife<br />
can be used for accurate and<br />
faster thread cutting.<br />
Sewing systems can be manual<br />
which see the sewing head<br />
suspended to a cable or to the<br />
ceiling and involve the operator<br />
completing all of the operations.<br />
A basic sewing system can be<br />
supplied where the sewing head<br />
is on a single leg pedestal.<br />
Here, the already reshaped bag is<br />
introduced into the sewing head<br />
by hand or automatically.<br />
The higher speed sewing<br />
systems can be incorporated into<br />
new or existing packing lines to<br />
sew the bags faster, neater and<br />
with fewer breakdowns.<br />
This improves efficiency and<br />
output while also saving costs.<br />
For manual operations, the<br />
company offers a portable sewing<br />
machine that handles up to 250<br />

user-oriented modules: EIT<br />
AQ-Clock, offering real-time<br />
measurement of accumulation<br />
and EIT Audio which sends<br />
voice messages to production<br />
line staff.<br />
The Digiline label offline system offers new business opportunities<br />
providing tamper protection,<br />
and at the same time for<br />
transporting the serialisation<br />
codes,” he says.<br />
Furthermore, in some<br />
markets such as the USA,<br />
tablets are usually not packed<br />
in flat cartons, but primarily in<br />
HDPE plastic bottles, but still<br />
have to be serialised.<br />
With the new Digiline label<br />
offline system, extremely<br />
abrasion-resistant, high<br />
quality labels can be printed<br />
at speed, serialised and made<br />
available for a wide range<br />
of different packaging lines.<br />
The system paves the way for<br />
service providers such as label<br />
printing companies to produce<br />

The importance of speedto-market<br />
in this short term<br />
environment means the<br />
process of developing a new<br />

has to be compressed, says<br />
Baker Perkins. To answer this<br />
need, new designs can be<br />
visualised and models made<br />
very quickly using 3D CAD and<br />
3D printing, which is also used<br />
to make test moulds for trials.<br />
To ensure fast changeover<br />
between production runs,<br />
the mould system uses a new<br />
carrier design with clip-in<br />
moulds that allows rapid<br />
low cost product change by<br />
replacing just the moulds<br />
rather than the complete<br />
carrier system. This widens the<br />
range of products that a single<br />
line can produce, and this<br />
versatility may be enhanced by<br />
the ability to deposit multiple<br />
shapes in different colours<br />
simultaneously.<br />

Carton/tray former offers cost<br />
benefits for lower speed users<br />
Bradman Lake has<br />
launched a new variant<br />
of its three axes servo<br />
HSS double head, glue and<br />
lock style carton/tray former.<br />
The new single head version<br />
has a smaller footprint and is<br />
more cost effective for lower<br />
speed applications.<br />
This new machine was<br />
initially developed for a<br />
multinational chocolate<br />
and food company that<br />
had placed an order for<br />
a complete integrated<br />
packaging machinery system<br />
which had to be located<br />
into a confined floor space.<br />
Both the space available for<br />
such a machine combined<br />
with the requirement for<br />
low carton forming speeds,<br />
dictated a creative solution.<br />
Bradman Lake developed<br />
a ‘slimmed down’ single<br />
head version of the larger<br />
HSS former while retaining<br />
and enhancing the technical<br />
features of the unit.<br />
Included in the design is<br />
a low level, large capacity,<br />
powered and fully adjustable<br />
carton blank magazine<br />
Even coarse boards such as microfluted and B & C fluted can now be formed<br />
which is fully shaft adjusted<br />
to suit different carton sizes.<br />
Also, a servo motor powered<br />
vacuum carton feed bar has<br />
been included which, unlike<br />
older design vacuum feed<br />
bars, is fully adjustable to suit<br />
all carton sizes within the<br />
machine range and therefore<br />
a more economic item since no<br />
change parts are required.<br />
In operation, the carton<br />
blanks are shuttled forward<br />
and gripped at each side to<br />
ensure precise positioning<br />
of glue and consistent location<br />
above the carton plunger<br />
cavity. Hot melt glue is fired<br />
downwards with accuracy.<br />
Meanwhile, lock erect style<br />
cartons can also be handled<br />
on this former by just turning<br />
off the glue firing.<br />
The carton or tray plunger<br />
has also been redesigned<br />
to give it another technical<br />
feature. Unlike many formers<br />
which use mechanical drives,<br />
Bradman Lake software<br />
designers have programmed<br />
the speed of the plunger<br />
descent and ascent using<br />
electronic cam profiles so that<br />
the mechanism can plunge<br />
downwards fast then dwell for<br />
milliseconds to permit glue<br />
compression or mechanical<br />
lock engagement and then<br />
retract fast. This programming<br />
allows fast forming speeds<br />
of up to 60 cartons or trays<br />
per minute (depending upon<br />
blank size) to be achieved.<br />
Another benefit of this<br />
servo programming of the<br />
plunger action is that the unit<br />
can be programmed to plunge<br />
further into the forming<br />
cavity which allows the new<br />
HSS single head machine<br />
to glue or lock form cartons<br />
or trays with taller height<br />
side walls.<br />

Label applicator allows<br />
3-sided case placement<br />
Autolabel has developed<br />
a pallet labelling<br />
applicator that complies<br />
with the strict GS1 Serial<br />
Shipment Container Code<br />
(SSCC) as it can place<br />
barcode labels on three sides<br />
of a case, not the standard<br />
two sides.<br />
“We have designed the<br />
Pallet Flex Wipe system to be<br />
safe, user friendly, extremely<br />
compact, fast and future<br />
proof for all labelling needs,”<br />
says Denis Brett, managing<br />
director of Industrial<br />
Labelling Systems (ILS).<br />
“Both the compact nature of<br />
the unit and the fact that same<br />
applicator can label all three<br />
sides offers great flexibility,”<br />
he continues.<br />
Flex Wipe is built upon two<br />
rotating movements. The inner<br />
arm can rotate 360deg and the<br />
labels can leave the printer in<br />
two directions. The outer arm<br />
can rotate 200deg.<br />
A camera based scanner is<br />
located behind the applicator<br />
pad. In operation, when<br />
a validation check scan is<br />
required, the arm moves away<br />
from the pallet and the outer<br />
The Flex Wipe system can apply labels to three sides of a case in operation<br />
arm turns 180deg to take a<br />
picture of the label. “Pallet<br />
labelling is the foundation of<br />
traceability within the supply<br />
chain,” says Brett.<br />
The pallet Flex Wipe<br />
system is fully compatible<br />
with Autolabel’s existing<br />
T63 printer, using the same<br />
Autolabel standard applicator<br />
interface as with all the other<br />
applicators in the range.<br />
Other advantages of the<br />
system include the lightweight<br />
arms which make the<br />
applicator fast but hazard<br />
free; there is no need for<br />
any guarding; it is safe for<br />
operators and it has the same<br />
configuration regardless of the<br />
labelling application required<br />
(front, side or back).<br />

False rejects<br />
eliminated<br />
for nut firm<br />
Replacing its existing metal<br />
detectors with five Fortress<br />
Technology’s Stealth Vertex<br />
systems has yielded a 40%<br />
improvement in sensitivity and<br />
eliminated the issue of false<br />
rejects for a leading UK nut and<br />
dried fruit processing and<br />
packing company.<br />
Having purchased metal<br />
detection equipment from several<br />
different suppliers over the<br />
years, the company saw this as<br />
an opportunity to rationalise its<br />
sourcing approach. It turned to<br />
Fortress, whose technology had<br />
previously proved reliable. The<br />
mini Vertex units could also be<br />
fully integrated with its existing<br />
multihead weighers and vertical<br />
baggers on its site.<br />
“What we needed was to<br />
get more productivity out of<br />
this equipment by retrofitting<br />
them with reliable in-line metal<br />
detection units,” says a company<br />
spokesperson. “The small,<br />
compact Vertex head fitted<br />
beautifully within the available<br />
envelope, and we liked the<br />
fact that Fortress offered full<br />
installation and integration with<br />
our existing kit.”<br />
The ultra-slim Vertex<br />
from Fortress detects metal<br />
contaminants in free-falling<br />
product prior to final packaging.<br />
The sensitive unit uses digital<br />
signal processing technology<br />
to ensure detection of the<br />
smallest ferrous, non-ferrous<br />
and stainless steel contaminants.<br />
Complying with stringent<br />
HACCP regulations, the built-in<br />
data collection software with<br />
USB data transfer establishes<br />
the Vertex as an effective critical<br />
control point.<br />
Screening a variety of nuts<br />
immediately prior to bagging at<br />
speeds of 80 packs per minute,<br />
the new metal detectors have<br />
eliminated false rejects at the<br />
company altogether.<br />

British-built capper is<br />
the answer for coffees<br />
Karmelle launched its<br />
new rotary capper<br />
at last year’s PPMA<br />
Show and first to install this<br />
British-built machine is coffee<br />
manufacturer Beanies the<br />
Flavour Company. The coffee<br />
maker had first seen Karmelle<br />
equipment at a previous<br />
PPMA exhibition which led<br />
to a project in 2014. This saw<br />
a three point wraparound<br />
labelling machine installed.<br />
“We have had previous<br />
dealings with Karmelle and<br />
we find them very easy to<br />
work with,” explains Beanies<br />
production manager Lee Hull.<br />
“The company advised on<br />
the size, speed and overall<br />
specification of the rotary<br />
capper and we liked what<br />
we heard,” he continues.<br />
“A price was agreed; it was<br />
as easy as that.”<br />
MARKET REQUIREMENT<br />
Karmelle developed the<br />
machine as a response to a<br />
gap in the UK market. The<br />
company says<br />
it was able to<br />
fill this need<br />
for a British<br />
machine able to<br />
compete with<br />
the overseas<br />
machines on<br />
speed, quality<br />
and price with<br />
the added<br />
convenience of<br />
relative close<br />
proximity<br />
for easy<br />
communication,<br />
quick servicing<br />
and change parts supplies.<br />
This factor was certainly<br />
important to Beanies.<br />
“We find buying from<br />
UK-based manufacturers<br />
a better option due to the<br />
support network they offer,”<br />
Hull tells Machinery Update.<br />
“Overall, the machine has<br />
been working well,” he says.<br />
Beanies is the first customer<br />
The capper has been working very well at Beanies The Flavour Company<br />
“We have had a few teething<br />
issues but Karmelle are only<br />
a phone call away with help<br />
and advice if needed.”<br />
Also, Karmelle’s flexible<br />
approach allowed it to install<br />
the capper over weekends to<br />
avoid interfering with Beanies<br />
manufacturing<br />
process.<br />
In operation,<br />
the Karmelle<br />
rotary automatic<br />
capping machine<br />
is designed<br />
for closing<br />
various types<br />
of containers<br />
with screw,<br />
press-on and<br />
pilfer proof caps.<br />
The machine<br />
is especially<br />
suitable for<br />
use in the food<br />
processing, cosmetic and<br />
chemical industries but as all<br />
the machines are bespoke,<br />
they can be adjusted to suit<br />
individual needs.<br />
Containers queue up before<br />
entering a single star wheel<br />
which presents the bottles into<br />
the rotating capping station.<br />
The star wheel then indexes<br />
the bottle into position and<br />
the cap is then screwed home<br />
as the capper rotates.<br />
The capped container then<br />
leaves the machine via a<br />
second star wheel.<br />
These caps are held in<br />
a low level hopper which<br />
automatically feeds the caps<br />
up to the elevated sorting<br />
drum. The hopper is fitted<br />
with a low level visual<br />
alarm to alert the operator<br />
of when the hopper requires<br />
replenishing.<br />
ANGLED SORTING DRUM<br />
This elevated, angled sorting<br />
drum presents the caps upside<br />
down into a discharge chute,<br />
where they are orientated into<br />
the correct position. The inner<br />
caps then enter a magazine<br />
where they are placed onto<br />
the container as it passes<br />
underneath and just before it<br />
enters the press which closes<br />
the cap down.<br />
Containers are stabilised<br />
during the pressing action by<br />
a side drive which keeps time<br />
with the moving conveyor<br />
underneath.<br />

Servo drive replacement has<br />
delivered cereal bar benefits<br />
Outdated drive technology<br />
at Weetabix’s Alpen<br />
factory that was<br />
impacting wrapping efficiencies<br />
has been replaced to bring<br />
production line gains<br />
including extending the<br />
machine’s life.<br />
About a quarter of capacity<br />
of the Alpen bar production<br />
line is handled by a Bosch<br />
HSM wrapping machine.<br />
Critical to the operation of this<br />
machine were IRT 1300 servo<br />
drives, but as they had been<br />
discontinued, replacement<br />
parts were becoming difficult<br />
to source. Karl Wigley,<br />
reliability engineer at Weetabix<br />
Food Company, was charged<br />
with addressing this issue<br />
and finding a cost effective<br />
solution. And a solution that<br />
could be implemented with<br />
minimum downtime and risk<br />
to the production line that<br />
operates round the clock.<br />
“Our original wrapping<br />
machine was fitted with<br />
fourteen IRT 1300 servo drives<br />
which were located in two<br />
cabinets,” explains Wigley.<br />
“The flow wrapper still met our<br />
requirements and the IRT servo<br />
drives – critical to the operation<br />
of the machine – were running<br />
smoothly,” he says.<br />
OBSOLETE DRIVES<br />
“Unfortunately, the IRT drives<br />
had been superseded by a new<br />
generation of drives, the 2000<br />
series, meaning replacement<br />
parts were no longer being<br />
manufactured so we were<br />
faced with the decision to<br />
replace our servo drives.”<br />
Weetabix systematically<br />
implements reliability<br />
centred maintenance<br />
(RCM) and condition based<br />
monitoring (CBM) to<br />
increase machine uptime,<br />
increase cost effectiveness<br />
of capital investments and<br />
improve decision making<br />
Reliability engineer at Weetabix Food Company Karl Wigley has found a cost effective solution for Alpen bars<br />
– an essential part of its<br />
production process. Weighing<br />
the immediate financial<br />
benefits of renovating existing<br />
technology with the longer<br />
term benefits of deploying a<br />
more contemporary design<br />
with increased efficiency and<br />
performance, Wigley and<br />
the Weetabix team made the<br />
decision to entirely upgrade<br />
its servo drives.<br />
Having made the decision<br />
to enhance its production<br />
line, Weetabix approached<br />
Quin Systems, a distributor<br />
and technical support<br />
organisation in the UK and<br />
Ireland for Swiss-based IRT<br />
to take its existing 1300<br />
drives and upgrade them to<br />
the 2000 series. Fearing a<br />
About a quarter of the capacity of the Alpen bar production line is handled<br />
drop in production during<br />
the installation process,<br />
the two companies worked<br />
together to agree a work plan<br />
that minimised risk and<br />
inconvenience from the outset.<br />
The solution was found<br />
in upgrading the cabinets<br />
on separate dates and on<br />
weekend shifts so that normal<br />
practice could resume without<br />
causing any financial loss.<br />
COST EFFECTIVE<br />
For maximum efficiency, Quin<br />
fitted the new IRT drives in<br />
place of the existing drives in<br />
the same cabinet space and<br />
reused the existing motors,<br />
encoders, command cables<br />
and the control system.<br />
This delivered the most cost<br />
effective solution. “Quin<br />

ever before. For instance,<br />
increased responsiveness<br />
means the machine takes less<br />
time to reach the optimum<br />
speed. Hunting (where the<br />

Switching between the two<br />
carton formats, either trays<br />

Shrinkwrapper increases<br />
output using less power<br />
Johnsons Stalbridge<br />
Linen in Glasgow is the<br />
first laundry company<br />
to take delivery of a brand<br />
new shrinkwrapper from<br />
Shrinkwrap Machinery and<br />
has been so pleased with the<br />
purchase it has ordered two<br />
further machines for its sites<br />
in the South.<br />
“For the past month we have<br />
used Shrinkwrap Machinery’s<br />
new machine which was<br />
delivered and installed<br />
on time, explains Alan<br />
Mulholland, group operations<br />
director at Johnsons Stalbridge<br />
Linen. “Although this machine<br />
sits on a smaller footprint, it<br />
delivers a higher pack output<br />
and uses less power.<br />
“We are so pleased with<br />
the new machine that we<br />
have just ordered two further<br />
machines for two of our sites<br />
in the South.”<br />
The machine has a number<br />
of new features and additions<br />
which have all been added<br />
with commercial laundries<br />
in mind. “We listened to<br />
our customers and took on<br />
their feedback,” says Jeremy<br />
Frith, technical director at<br />
Smooth lines and clear views allow for easy maintenance access for engineers<br />
Shrinkwrap. “We’ve been able<br />
to greatly improve pack side<br />
closure, something that the<br />
industry is demanding more<br />
and more, we have improved<br />
the energy efficiency of the<br />
heat tunnel by reducing<br />
heaters, improving air flow<br />
and finally we have ramped up<br />
the insulation to an incredibly<br />
high standard.”<br />
Speed wise, this machine<br />
will happily work its way<br />
through 1200 packs per hour<br />
using a 13 micron film; and the<br />
progressive infeed machine<br />
will increase that to 1500<br />
packs per hour where there<br />
is a requirement.<br />
“Aesthetically our machine<br />
range has had a total overhaul<br />
with ease of maintenance<br />
access in mind for engineers at<br />
all times,” says Frith.<br />

Special scale brings<br />
higher productivity<br />
across tofu range<br />
Tofu King has installed a semiautomatic<br />
Dataweigh multifunctional<br />
scale from Yamato as<br />
this weighing solution was set<br />
up quickly and worked ‘straight<br />
out of the box’ to meet rising<br />
demand for the company’s bean<br />
curd products.<br />
The scale is portioning and<br />
feeding the packing area and is<br />
capable of reaching speeds of up<br />
to 30 packs a minute on retail<br />
packs of Tofu King products. The<br />
machine has fitted into the limited<br />
space available and is working with<br />
other, existing machines.<br />
Hygienic and waterproof, the<br />
scale can handle both dry and<br />
marinated tofu products because<br />
the hoppers and conveyor<br />
belt can be removed easily for<br />
cleaning and maintenance.<br />
The flexibility that this has brought<br />
to the food company has enabled<br />
it to adjust the machinery<br />
easily to suit different products,<br />
weights and sizes required.<br />
“The process of packing tofu<br />
products was done manually<br />
before because of potential<br />
problems packing various<br />
weights of both dry and wet<br />
products which contain oil, chilli<br />
marinated tofu for example,” says<br />
Yamato commercial operations<br />
manager Andrea Spencer.<br />

Cartoners keep pace with high<br />
speed spice mix lines in India<br />
With the co-operation<br />
of its new agent in<br />
India, Kliklok has<br />
secured an order for two fully<br />
automatic end load cartoning<br />
lines packing four different<br />
size bags of aromatic spice mix<br />
at 330 cartons a minute.<br />
To achieve this speed, Kliklok<br />
has designed a brand new<br />
variant of its 6in pitch Prima<br />
end load cartoner incorporating<br />
servo motors to replace<br />
mechanical drive mechanisms<br />
throughout the machine. This<br />
eliminates time-consuming<br />
hand wheel adjustments with<br />
quick and easy automatic<br />
adjustments. For this particular<br />
project, to meet the specific<br />
requirements of the customer,<br />
each Prima was enhanced with<br />
a number of optional features<br />
to maintain efficiency and<br />
consistently high performance.<br />
REPEATABLE SIZE CHANGES<br />
ARE COMPLETED IN UNDER<br />
10minutes<br />
thanks to the ‘easy-fit’ design<br />
of the cartoners change parts<br />
Kliklok’s patented rotary<br />
carton feeder has the ability to<br />
run cartons with large quality<br />
variations which is key to<br />
maintaining efficiency on such<br />
a high speed line<br />
The deployment of RFID tags<br />
ensures that the change parts<br />
fitted are precisely matched to<br />
the SKU selected on the menu<br />
screen before the machine<br />
can run. This fail safe system<br />
ensures maximum productivity<br />
and eliminates any downtime<br />
due to operator error.<br />
For the product loading<br />
operation prior to cartoning,<br />

Four standard configurations are offered to meet individual customer needs<br />
trajectories,” explains<br />
Schmitt. This can work well<br />
for factories handling seasonal<br />
product ranges.<br />
Technology used for the<br />
latest Palbox equipment in<br />
the UK is a six axis robot<br />
from Yaskawa which offers<br />
freedom of movement,<br />
even in this compact space.<br />
External dimensions are<br />
6800 x 3100 x 2500mm which<br />
allows the equipment to be<br />
transported by truck and<br />
loaded and unloaded quickly.<br />
All electrical components,<br />
including the main cabinet<br />
and its HMI are housed in<br />
this enclosure.<br />
Ease of use has been<br />
designed into the equipment<br />
and the Flexipal software,<br />
for instance, allows<br />
pallet patterns to be<br />
programed independently.<br />
Four standard<br />
configurations are<br />
offered (right, left,<br />
rear right and rear left)<br />
to meet individual<br />
customer needs.<br />
Products that can<br />
be handled include<br />
cardboard boxes and<br />
trays, shrinkwrapped<br />
bundles of products<br />
and wraparound boxes<br />
as well as an option to<br />
use bags. Interlayers can<br />
also be used on the system.<br />
The machine has been well<br />
received by the food industry<br />
and, by producing a standard<br />
solution the company offers a<br />
simple introduction to robotic<br />
technology. “Because the<br />
Palbox is standard, we offer<br />

Brewery<br />

full control<br />
Rockwell Automation has<br />
supplied South African<br />
Breweries (SAB) with its first<br />
fully automated and networked<br />
EtherNet/IP-based control<br />
system for its new maltings plant<br />
in Alrode, Gauteng.<br />
The new control system will<br />
integrate traditionally disparate<br />
malt production processes into<br />
a single networked EtherNet/<br />
IP-based solution to provide<br />
plant-wide visibility and<br />
actionable data from the malting<br />
plant’s production floor to SAB’s<br />
top floor. This new maltings plant<br />
will account for more than half of<br />
the breweries’ South African and<br />
Namibian malt production when<br />
fully commissioned this year.<br />
SAB contacted Rockwell to<br />
design a fully automated and<br />
networked EtherNet/IP solution<br />
for the plant, a first for SAB. The<br />
solution implemented connects<br />
all data from the plant floor to<br />
the rest of the SAB enterprise,<br />
transforming the plant into a<br />
‘Connected Enterprise’.<br />
“By converging operations<br />
technology and information<br />
technology, we enable SAB secure<br />
access to operational, business<br />
and transactional data to improve<br />
the malting plant’s supply chain,<br />
economic and sustainable<br />
performance,” explains Adrian<br />
van Wyk from Rockwell.<br />
All devices and processes within<br />
the plant are integrated in a single<br />
secure network with dual-port<br />
EtherNet/IP-based hardware<br />
connected in a Device Level Ring<br />
configuration. “This provides<br />
a strong future-proof technical<br />
solution with high-performance<br />
delivery and Network resilience at<br />
Device Layer,” he says.<br />
“By enabling secure access to<br />
actionable run-time production<br />
data, machine diagnostics and<br />
automatic fault-finding, SAB<br />
gains full visibility of the maltings<br />
plant, ultimately facilitating a<br />
faster time to market.<br />

To ensure production line efficiencies were maximised, tna installed a fully integrated control system across the line<br />
Tailored solution meets<br />
snack demand increases<br />
Algerian snack<br />
manufacturer<br />
Maravilla has increased<br />
production capacity by 25%<br />
since installing customised<br />
solutions from tna.<br />
The replacement of an<br />
outdated manual process with<br />
optimised and automated<br />
conveying systems enabled<br />
Maravilla to achieve its<br />
primary goal of boosting<br />
production capabilities,<br />
while also fuelling company<br />
growth and improving overall<br />
profitability.<br />
In light of the growing<br />
demand for snack products in<br />
the domestic Algerian market<br />
and overseas, Maravilla wanted<br />
to boost production capacity<br />
to ensure it stayed competitive<br />
in this dynamic sector.<br />
Working with tna, Maravilla<br />
integrated nine tna roflo high<br />
throw vibratory conveyors,<br />
alongside three mini feeders<br />
into its potato/corn pellet line.<br />
The snack manufacturer also<br />
updated its current control<br />
systems by investing in the<br />
latest integration technologies<br />
from tna.<br />
As a result of the installation<br />
of tna’s equipment, Maravilla<br />
now benefits from a more<br />
efficient production process<br />
and also reduced downtime<br />
at the production plant.<br />
In every production<br />
line, plant managers want<br />
to optimise the speed<br />
and performance of their<br />
manufacturing to ensure<br />
targets are met, says tna.<br />
Products therefore need to<br />
be processed more quickly<br />
and efficiently. Incorporating<br />
effective conveying equipment<br />
into production lines is critical<br />
to achieving this.<br />
OVERALL EFFICIENCY<br />
To maintain and improve<br />
its production capabilities<br />
and overall efficiency, and<br />
to fully benefit from these<br />
emerging opportunities in<br />
kids snacks, Maravilla needed<br />
a high performance, flexible<br />
conveying solution that could<br />
be easily integrated alongside<br />
existing systems for a<br />
smoother distribution process.<br />
tna’s roflo VM 3 was supplied<br />
to achieve the company’s<br />
production efficiency<br />
objectives. This conveyor<br />
incorporates a special reaction<br />
base design combined with an<br />
intelligent microprocessor,<br />
for a much greater stroke<br />
length at a lower frequency.<br />
This feature enabled<br />
Maravilla to improve<br />
throughput by 25% and<br />
achieve a smoother transfer<br />
of its products throughout<br />
the manufacturing process.<br />
Due to increasingly<br />
stringent food safety<br />
regulations in the country,<br />
Maravilla was also looking<br />
to integrate a simple design<br />
system with smooth surfaces<br />
and no blind spots or<br />
areas where product and<br />
microorganisms could build<br />
up – to reduce the risk of<br />
cross-contamination.<br />
tna’s roflo VM 3 features no<br />
metal-to-metal bacteria build<br />
up areas and all conveyor<br />
trays are fully welded or<br />
scalloped, meaning Maravilla<br />
now benefits from reduced<br />
contamination risk.<br />

New system for drinks maker<br />
Dual sealing<br />
system keeps<br />
drinks safer<br />
Following a request from an<br />
ingredients supplier to a global<br />
soft drinks company for extra<br />
protection from cross product<br />
contamination during the<br />
case sealing process, Endoline<br />
Machinery developed a special<br />
case sealing system that both<br />
glues and tapes filled cases.<br />
With additional technology<br />
to handle both single wall and<br />
twin walled cases to ensure a<br />
precise seal each time, the new<br />
dual sealing system offers an<br />
alternative to using separate tape<br />
and glue machines. Compactly<br />
designed to meet with the tight<br />
space requirements, the machine<br />
was built to meet the size of the<br />
previous case sealer, which only<br />
offered a glue finish.<br />
The beverage company<br />
produces the ingredients for<br />
a range of different varieties<br />
of soft drinks and supplies<br />
bottling factories worldwide.<br />
One particular ingredient is the<br />
granules which are used in the<br />
production of diet and low sugar<br />
drink alternatives for a global<br />
soft drinks company. It was this<br />
product which prompted the<br />
request for heightened sealing<br />
capabilities to meet stringent<br />
regulations placed on them<br />
by the drinks maker.<br />
With a daily output of over<br />
10,000 cases per day, the dual<br />
sealing system is achieving a<br />
perfect seal on cases ranging<br />
from almost empty to 25kg<br />
in weight.<br />

Food and drink industry<br />
saw latest developments<br />
PPMA members were<br />
out in force at Foodex<br />
<strong>2016</strong> held at the NEC,<br />
Birmingham in April with<br />
many launching equipment<br />
and demonstrating machinery<br />
to suit all sizes of food and<br />
drink businesses.<br />
Sales and new contacts<br />
were secured throughout the<br />
three days but some were<br />
disappointed with the number<br />
of visitors at the event and felt<br />
that last year’s PPMA Show<br />
had been busier.<br />
One stand that was busy<br />
when Machinery Update<br />
visited was Multivac UK and,<br />
explains Laura Affleck, orders<br />
had been secured throughout<br />
the event. “We aimed our<br />
Winkworth<br />
demonstrated its<br />
new benchtop<br />
ManyMix unit which<br />
is ideal for factories<br />
where space is at<br />
a premium or for<br />
technicians wishing<br />
to place it on a<br />
laboratory bench.<br />
It is smaller than<br />
its predecessor, the<br />
Many Mix 3-in-1,<br />
but still offers<br />
performance and mixing<br />
capabilities.<br />
exhibit at small to medium<br />
sized food companies and<br />
we’ve secured a healthy<br />
amount of leads,” she said.<br />
“We have also exhibited<br />
our recipe management line<br />
to demonstrate our skills<br />
in supplying integrated<br />
packaging solutions.”<br />
One exhibitor that felt the<br />
biennial show was not as<br />
busy as last time was Grant<br />
Jamieson, managing director<br />
of mixer company Winkworth.<br />
“Footfall hasn’t been as high<br />
as previous shows but we have<br />
seen different people from<br />
customer organisations which<br />
is useful,” he said.<br />
Another PPMA member<br />
that had secured orders from<br />
Features include the compact<br />
footprint, digital variable<br />
the stand was metal detection<br />
company MDS Ceia. “The<br />
show has been surprisingly<br />
good for us with a decent<br />
amount of enquiries,” said<br />
sales & marketing director at<br />
the company David Hale.<br />
Aaron Bessell sells Fuji<br />
wrapping equipment at<br />
Paramount Packaging and he<br />
said the company had seen<br />
a good mix of new contacts<br />
as well as existing customers<br />
while marketing co-ordinator<br />
at Pacepacker, Andreas<br />
Fantousi was generally<br />
pleased with the quality of<br />
the visitors but, he told<br />

New material offers safer uses<br />
Detectable<br />
material<br />
reduces risk<br />
Undetectable plastics used in<br />
food packaging could be a thing<br />
of the past with the new material<br />
that is food safe and metal<br />
and x-ray machine detectable<br />
launched by Detectamet at the<br />
three day exhibition.<br />
The material can be used to<br />
make plastics sacks in all practical<br />
sizes and thicknesses, commonly<br />
used by ingredients suppliers<br />
and it can also be used to make<br />
detectable plastics liners for<br />
paper sacks. From strong 25 kilo<br />
sacks to small sachets, this new<br />
material can be tailor made for<br />
specific purposes.<br />
Customers can select from<br />
nine colours to identify brand<br />
or purpose or to provide extra<br />
visibility. The special polyethylene<br />
material has been found to be<br />
safe for direct contact with food<br />
and complies with US and EU<br />
regulations.<br />
“Packaging is essential<br />
for protecting food and food<br />
ingredients but until now, there<br />
has been little packaging that<br />
metal and x-ray inspection<br />
systems could find and reject<br />
should it accidentally get into<br />
the finished food,” says James<br />
Chrismas, managing director at<br />
Detectamet. “I have been asked<br />
several times if we can reduce the<br />
risk of contamination by pieces<br />
of ingredient sacks and this new<br />
material is a significant response<br />
to this challenge,” he said.<br />

New Machinery Review<br />
New software solution is<br />
aid to productivity gains<br />
Cimlogic<br />
announced the<br />
release of new<br />
software solution<br />
OEE Express at<br />
the event.<br />
The company<br />
believes that Cimlogic<br />
OEE Express (powered<br />
by TrakSYS) with its<br />
fast implementation<br />
and rapid return on<br />
investment will give<br />
manufacturers the edge<br />
over their competition<br />
by improving<br />
effectiveness,<br />
increasing output,<br />
reducing downtime and<br />
improving quality.<br />
Cimlogic’s OEE<br />
software provides a<br />
highly integrated application<br />
that helps manufacturers to<br />
improve the productivity of<br />
manufacturing processes<br />
and accurately measure true<br />
plant productivity.<br />
High levels of downtime and<br />
work in progress, low capacity<br />
utilisation and high labour<br />
costs can all have an impact<br />
on business profitability and<br />
performance. OEE Express is<br />
IWM exhibited its T200 oneman<br />
operated traywasher, the<br />
CW13 EX BT cabinet washer<br />
and the EC20 200 litre Euro<br />
Bin washer at this year’s event.<br />
The T200 washer benefits<br />
from powerful enhanced<br />
pumps that produce highpressure<br />
water jets as well as<br />
additional heating capacity.<br />
Ideal for removing tough, sticky<br />
residues, the machine can<br />
accommodate 50 to 200 trays,<br />
crates or boxes an hour with a<br />
maximum size of 600 x 400mm.<br />
The OEE Express software allows more detailed information to be extracted<br />
a decision support tool to<br />
focus on production losses<br />
(time, speed, quality)<br />
and improve overall<br />
manufacturing operations.<br />
OEE Express offers a variety<br />
of benefits including the<br />
rapid deployment without<br />
programming or disruption<br />
of production, deployment for<br />
multiple (discrete) production<br />
areas (eg lines or cells) and it<br />
comes with many out-of-the<br />
box KPI reports. It can easily<br />
extend deployment to<br />
other lines and be readily<br />
upgraded to the professional<br />
package for a full-scale<br />
manufacturing operations<br />
management system to achieve<br />
manufacturing and business<br />
improvement objectives.<br />

Sleeve coder<br />
brings retail<br />
alternatives<br />
Rotech unveiled its new RF-Lite<br />
sleeve coding system which has<br />
been designed to address key<br />
technical challenges presented<br />
by the drive to minimise the<br />
environmental impact of food<br />
packaging while maintaining its<br />
on-shelf impact.<br />
It is described as an ideal entry<br />
level solution for artisan food<br />
producers and other small food<br />
companies looking to automate<br />
their offline date marking process<br />
for the first time. It also suits<br />
larger operators, especially in<br />
the chilled food sector, who are<br />
looking to install multiple date<br />
marking systems to cater for<br />
multiple products and short<br />
production runs.<br />
The RF-Lite takes flat<br />
cardboard sleeves from a hopper,<br />
feeds them through an inkjet<br />
printer so they can be date-coded<br />
and stacks them again ready for<br />
use. The use of thinner, lighter<br />
sleeve materials is not a problem<br />
for the RF-Lite. The sleeves are<br />
stacked vertically in a hopper,<br />
where friction wheels separate<br />
them and feed them one by<br />
one to the inkjet printer.<br />
This would not be possible using<br />
a conventional ‘push’ or shuttle<br />
feed mechanism, which only<br />
works with thick, stiff materials.<br />
This unit can handle a variety<br />
of sleeve shapes and sizes and<br />
only takes seconds to swap<br />
between them without special<br />
tools or training.<br />

Delivering reductions in<br />
pack/wrap times in food<br />
Antalis Packaging<br />
exhibited its latest<br />
packaging options<br />
that provide food logistics<br />
businesses with bespoke<br />
solutions to improve their<br />
automation and efficiency.<br />
The stand included live<br />
demonstrations of the latest<br />
semi-automatic Lantech<br />
stretch wrapping machinery,<br />
and case erector systems;<br />
both of which aim to reduce<br />
pack/wrap times within a<br />
warehouse environment,<br />
especially relevant when<br />
dealing with perishable or<br />
refrigerated food goods.<br />
Also shown with the stretch<br />
wrapper were a weigh scale<br />
and printer as well as other<br />
examples of materials and<br />
machinery for primary,<br />
secondary and tertiary<br />
packaging applications.<br />
Key to Antalis’ service<br />
offering is the ability to provide<br />
bespoke, tailored product lines<br />
to fit the individual needs of<br />
a business, providing end-toend<br />
solutions from void fill and<br />
case erectors/closers, through<br />

machines and stretch films.<br />
“Within the food logistics<br />
industry, it is vital that both<br />
packaging consumables and<br />
machinery provide effective<br />
solutions matched to suit<br />
Antalis Packaging showed a range of kit designed to reduce pack/wrap times<br />
specific requirements, as<br />
well as meeting all relevant<br />
food legislation,” says Martin<br />

Bulk handling and<br />
conveying systems<br />
were demonstrated<br />
Spiroflow showcased its latest<br />
bulk handling and conveying<br />
solutions for shifting food<br />
ingredients at the show.<br />
Transferring food powders,<br />
flakes and granules from one<br />
area of a factory to another<br />
for processing, packaging and<br />
distribution requires a system<br />
that is fast, easy to route, has few<br />
moving parts, empties the system<br />
of product with minimum residue<br />
and provides dust-tight operation,<br />
says the company. Visitors saw for<br />
themselves how equipment was<br />
meeting these needs via the bulk<br />
bag discharger and flexible screw<br />
conveyor on the stand.<br />
Both are designed for the<br />
hygienic discharging and<br />
distribution of food ingredients<br />
including sugar, flour and spices,<br />
within a factory environment.<br />
Options available with the<br />
T2 bulk bag discharger include<br />
loss-in-weight product feed,<br />
patented massage systems to<br />
promote flow from bags, hygienic<br />
bag spout sealing device and<br />
integral hoist , all of which are<br />
designed to empty 1-2 tonne bags.<br />
Meanwhile, the main advantage<br />
of the flexible screw conveyor<br />
is its simplicity which results in<br />
short installation times and low<br />
maintenance. The whole system<br />
can be stripped down for cleaning<br />
in minutes, says the company.<br />

Bespoke horizontal flow wrap<br />
unit offers food sector benefits<br />
Paramount Packaging –<br />
exclusive distributor<br />
of Fuji Machinery<br />
Company’s horizontal and<br />
vertical form, fill and seal<br />
equipment in the UK and<br />
Ireland – demonstrated<br />
bespoke versions of its<br />
Alpha VII horizontal flow<br />
wrapping system.<br />
The stand featured a special<br />
box motion model that has<br />
been adapted to produce the<br />
on trend, stand up ‘block<br />
bottom gable top packs’ which<br />
are becoming increasingly<br />
popular for packaging of<br />
gourmet sandwiches as well<br />
as confectionery and snack<br />
multipacks.<br />
A back seal flow wrapper<br />
that has been customised for<br />
the fresh produce market was<br />
also on display.<br />
Ideal for overwrapping<br />
irregular shaped, fragile or<br />
sticky products such as fish,<br />
sausages or even IV bags,<br />
Fuji’s Alpha VII back seal flow<br />
wrapper features bottom film<br />
feeds for easy, positive transfer<br />
of product from the infeed<br />
conveyor to the film tube.<br />
This eliminates the need to use<br />
Optional extras such as film pre-creasing devices, labellers and hole cutters can be added<br />
trays for loose products.<br />
The FW3710BS/B model<br />
on show at Foodex has been<br />
adapted for use on mobile<br />
field harvesting rigs making it<br />
suitable for the fresh produce<br />
market. Mounted on a stainless<br />
steel support frame, it is ideal<br />
for very wet environments and<br />
has a flexible two-part infeed<br />
which allows it to be used with<br />

different types of rig. It also<br />
boasts an integrated ink jet<br />
coder with label applicator.<br />
With advanced heat pipe<br />
end seal technology, faster<br />
temperature control and high<br />
pressure sealers, Fuji’s Alpha<br />
VII box motion horizontal<br />
flow wrapper offers reduced<br />
energy usage and hermetic<br />
sealing making it ideal for<br />
high speed gas<br />
flushing or MAP<br />
applications<br />
where extended<br />
shelf life is a<br />
key requirement.<br />
Due to the<br />
additional dwell<br />
time, it can seal<br />
thicker wrapping<br />
materials so is<br />
better suited to<br />
handling<br />
taller and heavier<br />
products. The<br />
FW3710B model<br />
exhibited was<br />
also capable of<br />
producing on<br />
trend ‘stand up’<br />
block bottom<br />
gable top packs.<br />
Fuji’s box<br />
motion and back seal flow<br />
wrappers operate at speeds<br />
up to 250 packs a minute, with<br />
a cut off length of 430mm.<br />
They can handle products<br />
measuring between 140 and<br />
200mm (width) and up to<br />
100mm (height).<br />

This bespoke line for a German manufacturer of IQF ready meals has delivered a 40% greater yield than the older line – more details on page 56<br />
Innovating with safety<br />
Trying to create the impression of a home-cooked meal in a safe, hygienic,<br />
fast and cost effective way is the challenge faced by ready meals producers<br />
Private label continues to<br />
dominate sales of ready meals,<br />
accounting for 69% of retail<br />
value sales in the category in<br />
2015, and it is a key category for<br />
retailers to differentiate their private label<br />
ranges and encourage consumer loyalty<br />
to their retail stores.<br />
Convenience and recipe sophistication<br />
properties are likely to remain essential<br />
elements of attempts to drive sales in<br />
ready meals in the coming years and as a<br />
result, growth is expected to be strongest<br />
in categories in which the potential for<br />
recipe innovations are the greatest. And<br />
machinery has to cope with this demand<br />
for new pack formats.<br />
According to PFM, the stand-up pouch,<br />
in a variety of formats, is set to increase<br />
its share of the ready meals market as<br />
demographic and current lifestyles set the<br />
trend for more consumers eating alone.<br />
Meanwhile, Tony Burgess of Proseal says<br />
tray sealer suppliers have to take account of<br />
the changing needs in this fast-developing<br />
sector, especially for the dishes that<br />
require an element of preparation.<br />
“Inevitably this combination of<br />
new product development and market<br />
competition puts pressure on machinery<br />
suppliers to provide solutions that<br />
maximise speed and efficiencies while<br />
maintaining product quality,” he tells<br />
Machinery Update. “Equally important,<br />
the introduction of so many different<br />
dishes is leading to shorter production<br />
runs which can also involve many<br />
different pack formats,” he says.<br />
And, he thinks, future-proofing is vital<br />
in the development of new tray sealers.<br />
FAST CLEANING IS DEMANDED<br />
According to Ian Wells, product manager<br />
for tray sealing at Multivac UK, trays per<br />
minute and quick die changes have long<br />
been the buzz words for ready meals<br />
producers. “But now, there is a new<br />
concern; how quickly and how effectively<br />
can the machinery be cleaned?<br />
“This has become more critical in<br />
today’s world as we look to control<br />
allergens within the manufacturing<br />
process,” he says, “which is why we offer<br />
a range of tray seal machinery that can<br />
be completely washed down with a low<br />
pressure hose.”<br />
It should also be remembered that<br />
this is a market where the small to<br />
medium-sized food producer often<br />
operates which is why Packaging<br />
Automation has launched a hire<br />
scheme that helps customers automate<br />
packing processes from day one with<br />
minimal investment. The scheme offers<br />
entry level machines with a sealing tool<br />
for one pack format on hire for a fixed<br />
weekly rate.<br />
At the end of an initial six month hire<br />
period, users have the option to return<br />
the machine and stop making payments,<br />
keep the machine at a reduced weekly<br />
rate, or upgrade for a small uplift in cost<br />
to a quicker machine with a sealing tool<br />
to suit the same pack if demand for<br />
products is increasing.<br />
This flexible low cost sealing package<br />
has already helped Whitby Seafoods<br />
launch a breaded scampi product.<br />
Post horsemeat, the requirement for<br />
traceability and safety remains high,<br />
especially when product recalls, such as<br />
the chicken meals recalled by Sainsbury’s<br />
at the beginning of this year, are a costly<br />
business for retailers and brand owners.<br />

Feature: Ready meals<br />
Failure to take least<br />
cost formulation<br />
(LCF) seriously is<br />
likely to lead to<br />
commercial<br />
problems for ready meals<br />
manufacturers as without<br />
it, their ability to achieve<br />
the highest yield from their<br />
activities is compromised,”<br />
argues Richard Hebel, product<br />
manager for fat analysis at<br />
Eagle Product Inspection.<br />
Inline fat analysis systems<br />
– through accurate fat<br />
measurement – enables every<br />
ounce of process yield to be<br />
realised with regard to the<br />
meat element of the product.<br />
“This puts those that<br />
employ inline fat analysis at<br />
a competitive advantage over<br />
those that choose not to, as<br />
the latter’s LCF will not be as<br />
efficient as it could be,” he says.<br />
ACCURATE RECIPES<br />
For ready meals manufacturers,<br />
the ability to create recipes<br />
with a high degree of accuracy<br />
is critical, and where products<br />
contain meat as a major<br />
component it is important to<br />
drill down into exactly how<br />
this is comprised in terms<br />
of ingredients to achieve<br />
maximum yield. Historically,<br />
processing that meat has<br />
carried serious limitations when<br />
it comes to obtaining accurate<br />
fat or lean measurements in<br />
order to meet recipe targets,<br />
but with the introduction of fat<br />
analysis (FA) systems this has<br />
ceased to be an issue.<br />
One of the methods<br />
commonly employed by<br />
modern processors when<br />
creating recipes is that of LCF,<br />
a mathematical optimisation<br />
technique that enables them to<br />
put together a formula or recipe<br />
at the least cost or expense –<br />
specifically where that formula<br />
or recipe needs to meet certain<br />
technical parameters and<br />
constraints and where there is<br />
flexibility in ingredient use in<br />
meeting those parameters.<br />
Let’s take a meatball as an<br />
example, a common meat<br />
element in ready meals. If you<br />
are making meatballs and<br />
Measuring the fat content in the meat used in ready meals allows for recipe targets to be met using cheaper options<br />
Separate the<br />
fat from lean<br />
Eagle Product Inspection talks about the role of fat<br />
analysis in achieving least cost formulation for meals<br />
the specifications state that<br />
product must consist of 40%<br />
protein, but must also contain<br />
a minimum of 70% beef, there<br />
are a number of ingredients<br />
you could combine in order to<br />
achieve this goal.<br />
Besides the necessary<br />
beef, which may be batches<br />
of high-fat beef, one or more<br />
other vegetable proteins or<br />
ingredients may be selected<br />
to achieve recipe targets.<br />
This combination of recipe<br />
components and amounts<br />
provides flexibility in meeting<br />
recipe targets, where that<br />
flexibility can be exploited<br />
to enable use of inherently<br />
lower cost components.<br />
Past sampling methods were<br />
simply too crude to allow least<br />
cost formulation to be achieved<br />
And with agile purchasing, this<br />
flexibility allows additional<br />
cost reduction via low cost spot<br />
buys of commodity products<br />
whose prices vary daily.<br />
LCF enables companies<br />
to calculate the most cost<br />
effective way of purchasing,<br />
selecting and combining these<br />
ingredients in order to achieve<br />
the recipe goal.<br />
BEST INVENTORY USE<br />
LCF, in a complementary role,<br />
also allows processors to make<br />
best use of existing inventory.<br />
Using LCF calculations,<br />
processors can manufacture

meatballs, for example, that<br />
best optimise yield value from<br />
existing stock.<br />
Fat is a primary determiner<br />
of the cost of meat and the<br />
ability to measure fat content<br />
accurately is crucial to effective<br />
LCF. As the saying goes<br />
“you can’t manage what you<br />
can’t measure.” Accurate fat<br />
measurement enables LCF, and<br />
this is where advanced x-ray<br />
technology comes into play.<br />
Modern in-line FA systems<br />
using dual x-ray absorptiometry<br />
or ‘DEXA’ technology enables<br />
fat measurement of 100% of the<br />
meat based on the differential<br />
absorbance of fat and lean meat<br />
content using two x-ray energy<br />
spectra. The combination of<br />
measuring all of the meat, and<br />
at accuracies better than ±1CL<br />
(chemical lean), enables LCF<br />
control schemes to precisely<br />
meet blending targets at<br />
maximum yield.<br />
FA systems are also capable<br />
of simultaneously detecting<br />
physical contaminants<br />
such as glass shards, metal<br />
fragments and calcified bone,<br />
and also measuring weight.<br />
The FA system’s ability to<br />
perform a wide range of tasks<br />
simultaneously, coupled with<br />
low ongoing costs to extend<br />
the lifetime value of the<br />
equipment, are key drivers to<br />
achieving a fast return.<br />

HYGIENE PRIORITY<br />
In order to comply with<br />
stringent regulatory<br />
requirements, hygiene must<br />
be made a priority. Food<br />
borne pathogens have been<br />
responsible for countless<br />
hospitalisations.<br />
FA systems available today<br />
are engineered to NAMI/<br />
EHEDG sanitary design<br />
guidelines. This makes them<br />
ideal to withstand harsh<br />
washdown protocols typically<br />
required within processing<br />
facilities to ensure sanitisation<br />
to a microbiological level. With<br />
Eagle FA systems, breakdown<br />
for sanitation is quick: just<br />
five minutes to prepare<br />
for cleaning. This allows<br />
processors to spend less time<br />
cleaning the machine, and<br />
more time processing meat,<br />
without compromising on<br />
hygiene standards.<br />

Feature: Ready meals<br />
Riggs Autopack<br />
meets changing<br />
filling demands<br />
made by sector<br />
Riggs Autopack says<br />
that ready meals<br />
producers are placing<br />
more emphasis on new<br />
product development,<br />
focusing on the quality of produce<br />
and increased sophistication of the<br />
meal itself, all of which is impacting<br />
machinery suppliers.<br />
Currently, the pressure on<br />
machinery manufacturers such<br />
as depositor and filling machine<br />
manufacturer Riggs Autopack is to<br />
be able to supply equipment that<br />
is reliable, versatile and capable of<br />
damage free product handling as<br />
well as providing quick changeover<br />
times to handle the increase in<br />
ready meals variants.<br />
Today’s ready meals contain<br />
fresher, often only part cooked<br />
ingredients, which enhance<br />
both the quality and appearance<br />
of ready meals. Riggs has<br />
acknowledged that as the product<br />
is more solid, it therefore does not<br />
flow as easily and the particulates<br />
become more likely to lock<br />
together in operation.<br />
Machinery from Riggs, however<br />
can overcome the risk of jamming<br />
and has the ability to handle large<br />
delicate particulates through<br />
careful design of the product<br />
porting within the rotary valve<br />
assembly of the depositing unit.<br />
An area of great significance<br />
to the ready meals producer is<br />
achieving homogenous proportions<br />
with equal mixes of products per<br />
meal, says the company. This can<br />
be difficult to achieve as depositors<br />
have a tendency to draw in the<br />
most fluid product, such as sauces<br />
or soft particulates first.<br />
Alongside this, it is also<br />
important to attain an even<br />
distribution of the product within<br />
the container. To meet these<br />
requirements Riggs has developed<br />
a method of depositing that does<br />
not damage the product while<br />
incorporating a form of agitation<br />
that ensures an even distribution.<br />
Fillers offer<br />
flexibilities<br />
Depositors can<br />
provide damage<br />
free product<br />
handling for a<br />
plethora of<br />
ready meals<br />
By the use of large capacity<br />
hoppers, a correct mix of product<br />
can be presented to the machine in<br />
one batch, either pumped or tipped<br />
directly from tote bins, cooking<br />
kettles or other holding vessels.<br />
The company’s Model 1000 series<br />
of depositors includes a range<br />
of options that are trusted by a<br />
widening group of customers and<br />
large scale food manufacturing<br />
groups such as Kerry Foods,<br />
Bakkavor, Greencore and also<br />
Samworth Brothers, for example.<br />
All are designed to be easy to set up<br />
Special indexing conveyors<br />
offer ready meals producers a<br />
clean and fast changing option<br />
and operate, as well as quick<br />
to clean in place and easy to<br />
maintain going forward.<br />
Another recent trend in the sector<br />
has been for pack style changes<br />
from trays to pouches and bags.<br />
To meet this requirement Riggs<br />
offers machines that incorporate<br />
devices such as bag openers and<br />
bag grippers together with bag<br />
sealing and clipping machines that<br />
can be supplied on one compact<br />
mobile frame with the filling unit<br />
and catchment trays.<br />
“Our equipment is extremely<br />
versatile and can deposit into an<br />
array of containers from ready meals<br />

Feature: Ready meals<br />
Vision system<br />
steams ahead for<br />
microwave films<br />
Olmec-UK has developed a web-mounted vision system to check<br />
laser micro-perforated holes in microwaveable packaging formats<br />
S<br />
teaming of ready meals and<br />
vegetables in the microwave<br />
is one of the healthiest ways<br />
of cooking because the short<br />
cooking time preserves vitamins<br />
and minerals while maintaining flavour,<br />
colour and texture. Olmec-UK has<br />
developed a web-mounted vision system<br />
for a manufacturer of microwaveable<br />
packaging to check that the laser microperforated<br />
holes that form part of their<br />
self-venting ‘steam valve’ system are<br />
present and that the perforations have<br />
gone through completely.<br />
The packaging, which is used by<br />
a number of leading ready meals<br />
manufacturers, features arrays of laser<br />
micro-perforated holes covered with a<br />
hot-melt patch. As the pack is heated<br />
in the microwave, the steam produced<br />
creates pressure in the packaging, rising<br />
to the optimal level for steam cooking.<br />
At the appropriate time, the hot melt<br />
melts, exposing the holes to allow excess<br />
steam to escape. This prevents bursting<br />
while maintaining the optimal steam<br />
pressure in the container.<br />
This self-venting packaging can<br />
be applied in a multitude of different<br />
packaging solutions, such as pillow bags,<br />
stand-up pouches, lidding films or VFFS<br />
solutions. Clearly it is essential to check<br />
that all the self-venting holes are present<br />
and fully perforated to both guarantee the<br />
correct cooking conditions and for safety.<br />
The laser micro-perforation pattern<br />
and the size of the holes can be chosen<br />
according to the required pressure inside<br />
the pack for the product being cooked.<br />
REAL-TIME MONITORING<br />
Olmec was chosen for this project<br />
as it has experience in real-time<br />
monitoring of perforation quality in laser<br />
perforated flexible packaging through<br />
its work with Rofin-Baasel UK and<br />
Universal Converting Equipment in the<br />
development of the ‘VisionPerfoControl’<br />
system.<br />
The new vision system consists of a<br />
line scan camera mounted in the correct<br />
position to inspect a ‘lane of perforation<br />
patterns’ as they pass under the camera<br />
to provide guaranteed 100% web<br />
Key to the efficacy of the vision system<br />
is making the triggering of inspection<br />
independent of the laser perforation process<br />
The packaging material is illuminated from<br />
the back so the camera sees the transition in<br />
light intensity coming through the holes<br />
coverage in the machine direction. For<br />
this particular application, the packaging<br />
features six lanes of patterns across the<br />
web, so six cameras have been installed.<br />
The system looks for hole patterns with<br />
hole diameters of 350 – 1000µm at web<br />
speeds up to 200 metres a minute.<br />
It checks that they are at the size,<br />
pitch and repeat that was entered into<br />
the user interface as well as being fully<br />
perforated. In order to accommodate the<br />
350µm minimum hole size, cameras with<br />
2048 pixel line resolution were used.<br />

C<br />
transition in light intensity when it comes<br />
through the holes. This means it can<br />
be used for both clear and overprinted<br />
packaging film. The system is fully<br />
integrated into the web, so if the holes are<br />
not detected or they are incomplete, the<br />
web is automatically stopped.<br />
One of the major challenges for the<br />
system is handling the volume of data<br />
being generated during the inspections,<br />
says Olmec. With six cameras having a<br />
resolution of 2048 pixels and operating at<br />
a line frequency of 120 KHz, there is a lot<br />
of data to handle.<br />
APPROPRIATE HARDWARE<br />
Choosing the appropriate hardware<br />
was critical to ensure that the multiinstance<br />
processing required for the<br />
inspection could be carried out on<br />
the high data volumes on a single PC.<br />
Data was transferred from the camera<br />
using the CameraLink Full interface to<br />
accommodate the data rates needed.<br />
Key to efficacy of the vision system<br />
The self-venting films can be applied to various<br />
different packaging solutions including lidding<br />
is making the triggering of inspection<br />
independent of the laser perforation<br />
process. For overprinted packaging film<br />
with registered print, the web will have<br />
a sensor which looks for the registration<br />
mark and then fire the perforating laser so<br />
the holes are always present in a specific<br />
location on the artwork. However, if the<br />
print registration sensor fails, no holes<br />
are printed and if the vision system was<br />
also triggered by this sensor, the web<br />
would just continue past the cameras<br />
without inspection.<br />
The vision system is therefore<br />
designed to be independent of any print<br />
registration trigger source so if the web<br />
moves, the system will inspect it to see if<br />
holes are present and correct and stop the<br />
line if they are not.<br />
PRODUCTION CONDITION TESTS<br />
Olmec was able to offer much more than<br />
just a bench-developed solution.<br />
The company possesses its own reelto-reel<br />
winder on which they can put<br />
customer’s reels for evaluation before<br />
they commit to a project. This also allows<br />
development and testing of the system<br />
to be carried out in conditions that are<br />
close to the final factory environment.<br />
Thus prior to the completed system being<br />
installed, it was fully demonstrated at<br />
customer line speeds at Olmec’s premises<br />
to mitigate the customer’s risk and ensure<br />
that the installation and commissioning<br />
phase could be completed with a high<br />
degree of knowledge and understanding<br />
already in place.<br />

Feature: Ready meals<br />
Stand-up is set<br />
for sector rises<br />
PFM Packaging Machinery says its servo drive<br />
equipment helps cater for single serve pouches<br />
The stand-up pouch, in a variety<br />
of formats, looks set to increase<br />
its share of the ready meals<br />
market as demographics and<br />
current lifestyles set the trend to<br />
more and more consumers eating alone.<br />
As a result, according to Italian<br />
machinery manufacturer PFM, quick line<br />
changeover and in particular re-setting<br />
weighing and dosing equipment for a<br />
variety of ingredients, will assume greater<br />
and greater importance.<br />
“Demand for stand-up pouches in<br />
Europe is already growing at around twice<br />
the pace of the flexible packaging market<br />
generally and, according to recent market<br />
research, the use of pouches for ready<br />
meals is following that trend – about 5%<br />
a year,” says PFM sales and operations<br />
director Chris Bolton.<br />
“We see a situation developing where<br />
there will be a variety of pouch sizes<br />

lends itself particularly well to multicomponent<br />
snacks based on a sauce<br />
or rice; changeover between products<br />
on conventional, mechanically driven<br />
machines can be time-consuming, points<br />
out Chris Bolton.<br />
This, Bolton explains, was one of the<br />
principal reasons for PFM to develop its<br />
new range of D-series full servo stand-up<br />
pouch machines.<br />
It means that size changeover can be<br />
made rapidly and, with full computer<br />

liquid fillers, weighers and dispensers<br />
can be adjusted automatically as part<br />
of a product programme.<br />
“As markets inevitably mature the<br />
pressure is on for product differentiation<br />
which in turn is often reflected in greater<br />

Bolton. “The flexibility given by servo<br />

system for labelling flat<br />
corrugated cardboard boxes<br />
for manufacturer of frozen<br />
ready meals and snack food products<br />
The Authentic Food Company.<br />
The machine was designed to apply<br />
large multi lingual labels for foreign<br />

are of a size that could not practically be<br />
applied by hand. This solution allows<br />
The Authentic Food Company to label<br />
blank boxes rather than purchasing more<br />
costly pre-printed ones, providing greater<br />
flexibility over the label content as well as<br />
cost savings on the boxes.<br />
In operation, the machine can be fully<br />
adjusted to suit a wide range of box sizes<br />
and easily reconfigured in less than<br />
two minutes. Authentic Foods currently<br />
applies a pre-printed label stock using<br />
ALTech’s ALritma labelling head.<br />
This unit can apply two labels per box<br />
(for example front and side) in the same<br />
pass where required.<br />
Due to the modular design of ALTech<br />
machines, Authentic Foods can also add<br />
a print engine in the future enabling them<br />
to print and apply on demand labels,<br />
potentially removing a separate print<br />
room process. This is also available with<br />
the option to apply labels to the bottom<br />
of the box in the same pass, providing a<br />
four sided corner-wrap opposite corner<br />
labelling solution. It also allows separate<br />

Feature: Ready meals<br />
Ishida has installed<br />
a custom designed<br />
line for IQF meals<br />
In conjunction with its<br />
customer German frozen<br />
food manufacturer Jütro<br />
Tiefkühlkost Ishida Europe<br />
has designed and installed<br />
a bespoke packing line to handle<br />
the weighing, sealing and<br />
checkweighing of a range of IQF<br />
(individually quick frozen)<br />
ready meals.<br />
The line comprises a 20 head<br />
Ishida CCW-RV multihead weigher,<br />
a QX-1100 Flex tray sealer and a<br />
DACS-G checkweigher, filling a<br />
variety of different tray sizes at<br />
speeds of up to 70 packs a minute.<br />
This has delivered a 40%<br />
greater yield in comparison with<br />
the company’s older tray sealing<br />
line, resulting in a fast payback on<br />
capital investment.<br />
The multihead weigher is able<br />
to weigh three different products –<br />
meat, vegetables and rice or pasta<br />
– simultaneously for discharge into<br />
the trays. The RV model combines<br />
speed and accuracy with a highly<br />
robust design, which is ideal for<br />
the demands of IQF foods, says<br />
Ishida. Its heavy duty contact<br />
surfaces ensure minimal product<br />
adherence, while the weigher is<br />
certified to the highest level of<br />
waterproof protection, IP69K.<br />
Speed and weighing accuracy are<br />
maximised by the use of booster<br />
hoppers, which provide temporary<br />
storage of already-weighed<br />
product. This increases the number<br />

has been working<br />
faultlessly,” says<br />
Michael Meyer<br />
of possible weight combinations for<br />
each weigh cycle.<br />

can handle seven trays at a time<br />
and creates an airtight seal using<br />
Ishida’s inside cut technology. The<br />
basic shape of the trays is the same<br />
with only their heights varying<br />
between 50 mm and 70 mm.<br />
Modern servo technology<br />
ensures controlled, high speed<br />
tray delivery and film supply while<br />
the stainless steel construction<br />
with quick-release belts is<br />
easily accessible for operation,<br />
maintenance and cleaning.<br />
“In comparison with other<br />
tray sealers, the QX-1100 Flex is<br />
extremely straightforward,” says<br />
Jütro Tiefkühlkost’s ceo Michael<br />
Meyer. “In particular, the easy<br />
handling of the film minimises<br />
downtime.” He is also impressed<br />
by Ishida’s unique sealing head<br />
redundancy feature. “In the event<br />
of faults, the affected sealing<br />
heads can be individually disabled<br />
and the tray sealer continues to<br />
operate, diverting the supply of<br />
trays automatically to the still<br />
operational sealing heads,” he<br />
explains. “After shift end, the<br />
faulty sealing head can be checked<br />
over, without wasting precious<br />
production time.”<br />
The DACS-G checkweigher<br />
with integrated metal detector<br />
rejects out-of-spec packs and is<br />
able to operate reliably in the low<br />
temperatures and high humidity<br />
of the production hall. A newly<br />
developed loadcell enables very<br />
high speeds during product<br />
inspection, while the weigher’s<br />
protection function automatically<br />
disconnects the weigh sensor from<br />
the belt in the event of external<br />
disturbances.<br />

End-effectors<br />
bring benefits<br />
Pacepacker says the choice of any end-effectors<br />
is key to robotics adapting to changing formats<br />
Pick and place robots are<br />
becoming increasingly<br />
commonplace in the<br />
convenience food arena and,<br />
while the arm of the robot<br />
tends to attract the greatest attention,<br />
it’s actually the end-effector – the hand<br />
– that determines the precise operation<br />
that the unit performs according to<br />
Paul Wilkinson, business development<br />
manager at Pacepacker Services.<br />
“For any convenience food packer,<br />
ensuring you have the right end tool for<br />
the product is a key consideration,” he<br />
says. “While speed is naturally important,<br />
the end-effectors must be able to adapt to<br />
a variety of shapes and pack sizes.<br />
“This is especially true for convenience<br />
foods, where manufacturers and contract<br />
packers are handling everything from<br />
single serve portions to family-sized<br />
meals, and all of the formats in between.”<br />
End tooling for pick and place tends<br />
to fall into one of four categories:<br />
vacuum systems, magnets, clamps and<br />
clamshell style. Most refrigerated, frozen<br />
and ambient ready meals have rigid<br />
packaging, making the vacuum gripper<br />
(also known as suction cups) the most<br />
suitable option. Compressed air typically<br />
generates a vacuum, and the suction and<br />
configuration of valves can be tailored to<br />
foil topped, cellophane packaging and the<br />
exact product being picked.<br />
When more vacuum is required, for<br />
example handling pots of fresh pasta sauce,<br />
a pump or even a high air-flow pump can be<br />
specified. The latter is likely to be required<br />
where, for instance, a good seal between<br />
valve and product cannot be guaranteed.<br />
Another benefit of vacuum grippers is<br />
they can be multi-functional. One large<br />
gripper can pick up the different size<br />
variants on the same line, for example<br />
a family-sized portion of lasagne or<br />
several individual servings. Where<br />
interchangeability is required, compressed<br />
air vacuum electronics can be quickly<br />
disconnected and re-attached using quick<br />
release couplings.<br />

Brushless<br />
DC motor is<br />
all-in-one<br />
To meet machine builders<br />
demands for smaller, lighter<br />
components that offer the<br />
same or improved performance,<br />
Dunkermotoren has developed<br />
a brushless DC motor that<br />
incorporates not only the power<br />
supply, but also the control and<br />
positioning electronics, PLC<br />
functions, BUS links along with<br />
various encoder and brake options.<br />
The 550watt BG 75 DMC<br />
brushless motor (Direct<br />
Mains Connection) succeeds<br />
in eliminating the need for an<br />
external power supply while<br />
also accommodating all the<br />
functionality into the motor<br />
housing. About 20 years ago,<br />
the control components would<br />
have filled a small cabinet, now<br />
they are completely integrated<br />
in the motor housing and<br />
depending on the application,<br />
a control cabinet is completely<br />
unnecessary, says the company.<br />
To enable maximum<br />
end-user benefit the reactive<br />
power compensation has been<br />
incorporated and where required,<br />
the motor can be adapted to<br />
feed energy back into the grid,<br />
even during braking. In future,<br />
a complex external power factor<br />
correction method and in some<br />
cases, a braking resistor will be<br />
dispensed with.<br />
Thanks to the integral design<br />
of the motor, installation and<br />
commissioning is easy and<br />
renders the need for wiring in the<br />
control cabinet as unnecessary.<br />
The term single-cable solution<br />
usually refers to the connection<br />
between the motor and the<br />
controller. With the BG 75 DMC,<br />
it includes the complete drive up<br />

Components<br />
Considering OEE during the<br />
design phase brings benefits<br />
The ongoing pursuit of<br />
ever better OEE (overall<br />
equipment effectiveness)<br />
scores has become a real focus<br />
for end users in the food and<br />
beverage industry in recent<br />
years, says Robert Brooks,<br />
European industry marketing<br />
manager – food & beverage at<br />
Omron Electronics. OEE itself,<br />
however, is not a conversation<br />
end users routinely have with<br />
their machinery suppliers,<br />
with the focus instead<br />
tending to be on areas such<br />
as baseline speed, cycle times<br />
and overall performance.<br />
DEMONSTRATE GAINS<br />
However, if machine builders<br />
can bear OEE in mind<br />
during machine design, and<br />
subsequently demonstrate<br />
how their machine designs<br />
can contribute to improved<br />
OEE results, then they can<br />
give themselves a significant<br />
competitive advantage.<br />
One area where machine<br />
builders can really impact<br />
on OEE for the end user is<br />
in machine availability. For<br />
example, inbuilt diagnostics<br />
and monitoring algorithms<br />
can highlight developing<br />
problems before they become<br />
critical, enabling users to take<br />
preventative action during<br />
scheduled maintenance<br />
periods. These are systems that<br />
machine builders can easily<br />
build in as part of the machine<br />
design – without incurring<br />
additional costs.<br />
TEACH OPERATION<br />
Consider, for example, the<br />
operation time of an actuator<br />
or cylinder. With a simple<br />
teach operation, the controller<br />
can learn the ideal move<br />
times in both directions, and<br />
limits can be expressed –<br />
creating rules perhaps for an<br />
early warning, and an alarm<br />
if the actuator’s operation<br />
time falls outside of these<br />
The fieldbus modules are installed close to the process so sensors and valves can be connected with shorter cables<br />
rules, predicting a potential<br />
impending problem.<br />
The same thinking could<br />
be applied to sensors on the<br />
production line. The control<br />
system can monitor the sensor’s<br />
performance, with limits set<br />
to trigger alarms as the output<br />
drifts towards tolerance limits.<br />
Then there is the monitoring of<br />
servo torque values – knowing<br />
what the ideal should be,<br />
and setting alarms to spot if<br />
those torque values drift out<br />
of tolerance. A simple teach<br />
routine is all that is required in<br />
the first instance; the controller<br />
takes care of everything else<br />
from that point on.<br />
The machine controller<br />
can then flag up these<br />
warnings and alarms on an<br />
HMI local to the machine or<br />
inform engineers remotely,<br />
giving operators plenty of time<br />
to look at the operation of the<br />
devices in question and taking<br />
quick and appropriate actions<br />
before failures occur.<br />
A further benefit of<br />
automation is being able to<br />
demonstrate to a customer<br />
how, for example, changeover<br />
times from one product size<br />
or packaging style to another<br />
could be significantly reduced.<br />
STANDARD FEATURE<br />
‘One push configuration’ is<br />
now a standard feature in<br />
automation technologies<br />
such as Omron’s Sysmac<br />
platform. Once the operator<br />
can configure the whole<br />
line from a single push<br />
button operation on an HMI,<br />
product changeover times<br />
are dramatically shortened,<br />
getting the line back up<br />
and running much more<br />
quickly each time.<br />
Another area to consider is<br />
unscheduled downtime, and<br />
the cost implications that this<br />
has for the end user. Today’s<br />
automation equipment is<br />
inherently reliable, but even<br />
the most reliable of equipment<br />
can fail unexpectedly. If that<br />
faulty part is a complex piece<br />
of electrical equipment that<br />
may have incurred significant<br />
programming effort, then<br />
the end user could be facing<br />
substantial downtime.<br />
Here machine builders<br />
can offer their end users the<br />
benefits of backup/restore<br />
functionality, perhaps with all<br />
the critical program settings<br />
and parameters stored on an<br />
SD card. All of this could help<br />
an end user to get a machine<br />
back up and running quickly.<br />
For the machine builder,<br />
that means an enhancement<br />
to reputation for machines<br />
that are easy to maintain,<br />
but it also means that there<br />
is less need to take your<br />
own engineers away from<br />
important design projects<br />
and instead onto non-profit<br />
generating maintenance or<br />
support roles.<br />
Importantly, none of the<br />
features which can help to<br />
increase machine availability<br />
have to be a challenge for<br />
the machine builder to<br />
implement.<br />

RA Rodriguez had its<br />
biggest presence yet and<br />
took the opportunity<br />
to introduce a new company:<br />
RARUK Automation.<br />
Over the last six years, the<br />
company has been steadily<br />
adding automation products<br />
to its portfolio and this success<br />
has prompted the company to<br />
separate this division of the<br />
company. As a result of this<br />
decision, all automation sales<br />
are now the responsibility<br />
of the newly formed RARUK<br />
Automation, a company<br />
dedicated to developing a<br />
group of automation products<br />
with a unique edge.<br />
“The creation of a separate<br />
organisation allows us to tool<br />
up for the growing demands<br />
of automation in the UK,<br />
whilst not losing sight of our<br />
traditional strengths as a<br />
supplier of the highest quality<br />
transmission components,”<br />
explains Peter Williamson,<br />
md of both companies.<br />
“The move allows us to<br />
optimise the growth of both<br />
strands of our business<br />

Brands in the RAR UK<br />
automation catalogue include<br />
Universal Robots, Robotiq, IEF<br />
Werner and Mafu Automation.<br />
The latest development<br />
from RA Rodriguez shows the<br />
company’s commitment to<br />
growing its core engineering<br />
component business<br />
in parallel with its new<br />
automation venture. It has<br />
become the sole UK distributor<br />
for the Cone Drive range of<br />
slewing drives and harmonic<br />
solutions and, in so doing,<br />
has significantly extended<br />
its ability to provide products<br />
for performance critical<br />
applications.<br />
Cone Drive’s slewing drives<br />
are designed to accommodate<br />
combined tilting, radial and<br />
axial loads and employ worm<br />

Raft of new<br />
products<br />
bring gains<br />
B&R Automation introduced a<br />
range of new products which are<br />
all designed to bring benefits to<br />
automation engineers.<br />
Its new HMI solution, mapp<br />
View, for instance, showcased the<br />
full potential of web technology in<br />
the Automation Studio software<br />
engineering environment. The<br />
company says it gives automation<br />
engineers all the tools they need<br />
to create powerful and intuitive<br />
web-based HMI.<br />
Also on show was the<br />
ACOPOS P3, 3-axis servo drive<br />
which offers a power density of<br />
4A per litre, making it one of the<br />
most efficient servo drives with<br />
integrated safety functions on<br />
the market, and also providing<br />
previously unmatched dynamics<br />
and precision, with a minimum<br />
sampling time of 50 µs for the<br />
entire controller cascade.<br />
mapp technology is B&R’s<br />
new approach to developing<br />
software. Ready-made modular<br />
components simplify and<br />
accelerate the development of new<br />
programs – on average by 67%.<br />
The Automation Panel<br />
5000 of swing arm operator<br />
panels are said to raise the bar<br />
when it comes to flexibility and<br />
modularity. These fully enclosed<br />
systems feature IP65 protection<br />
and are available in many<br />
different variants.<br />
Ultra-compact X20<br />
controllers, secure remote<br />
maintenance technology and new<br />
operator terminals with a multitouch<br />
user interface are just some<br />

The new labelling machine in operation in Ireland has been future proofed<br />
so well that the only attention<br />

supplied with five labelling<br />
stations handling both PSL<br />
and cold glue labels at a<br />
speed of up to 200 bottles a<br />
minute while the previous<br />
machine could only manage<br />
90 a minute. “The machine<br />
design allows for quick<br />
changeover by exchange of<br />
labelling stations which has<br />
significantly reduced our<br />
downtime, furthermore it is<br />
self-controlled by an encoder<br />
which means the labeller<br />

Multivac’s SpeedUp module<br />
Faster running time<br />
for thermal transfer<br />
printers is available<br />
Multivac has developed a<br />
SpeedUp module for its cross<br />
web labellers to increase<br />
speeds when thermal transfer<br />
printers are used at low ambient<br />
temperatures. Other benefits<br />
outlined for the equipment<br />
include excellent print quality,<br />
savings in thermal transfer ribbon<br />
usage and shorter downtime.<br />
The SpeedUp module consists<br />
of a servo driven label advance<br />
and a label buffer in which the<br />
preprinted labels are temporarily<br />
buffered. It effectively decouples<br />
the labelling process from the<br />
printing process so the printer<br />
can continue to print while the<br />
labeller is at a standstill. This<br />
means overall line output is no<br />
longer adversely affected by the<br />
thermal transfer process.<br />

Regulations<br />
Talking about the<br />
wireless evolution<br />
Paul Neil Laidler Dyson<br />
BUSINESS BUSINESS DIRECTOR LINE MANAGER FOR MACHINERY - MACHINERY SAFTEY TÜV AT SÜD TÜV PRODUCT SÜD PRODUCT SERVICE SERVICE<br />
Here, we look at how machinery manufacturers can ensure the reliability of their wireless safety<br />
controls so that machinery users can be assured of their own personal safety while operating<br />
any packaging and processing equipment<br />
The growing trend for<br />
wireless modules to be<br />
added into everyday<br />
products, beyond the more<br />
traditional market of laptops<br />
and mobile phones, is moving<br />
into the machinery business<br />
as wireless connectivity<br />
becomes the expected norm.<br />
One such area is wireless<br />
safety related control systems.<br />
Machine builders and endusers<br />
should ensure that<br />
wireless systems are installed<br />
as per the manufacturer’s<br />
specific mounting and wiring<br />
instructions. For example,<br />
to install equipment the<br />
wireless switch should be<br />
mounted on an even surface,<br />
and the radio switch must be<br />
installed by strictly following<br />
the mounting and wiring<br />
instructions for the receiver.<br />
FLEXIBILITY<br />
While wireless technology<br />
affords a great deal of<br />
flexibility in terms of how<br />
equipment can be deployed<br />
across a site, it does have<br />
limitations, which is a concern<br />
for safety systems where<br />
100% reliability is required.<br />
One such limitation is<br />
the sensing range between<br />
receiver and transmitter, the<br />
strength of which will depend<br />
on the local conditions. The<br />
radio signal can be strongly<br />
affected by conductive<br />
materials, as well as other<br />
sources of radio interference,<br />
and can sometimes lead<br />
to a dead spot for wireless<br />
connectivity. This can be<br />
caused by metal parts, such as<br />
wall armour, insulation and<br />
metal foils, which are known<br />
to reduce the penetration of<br />
radio waves to 0-10%.<br />
So how can machinery<br />
manufacturers ensure the<br />
reliability of their wireless<br />
safety controls and machinery<br />
end-users assure their<br />
own personal safety while<br />
operating equipment?<br />
EU REGULATIONS<br />
In the European Union<br />
(EU) it is mandatory that<br />
radio equipment meets the<br />
‘essential requirements’ of<br />
the new European Union<br />
Radio Equipment Directive<br />
(RED) 2014/53/EU, which<br />
replaces the Radio and<br />
Telecommunications Terminal<br />
Equipment Directive (R&TTE)<br />
on 13th <strong>June</strong> <strong>2016</strong>.<br />
While the RED will become<br />
the required method to show<br />
compliance of radio and<br />
telecoms equipment sold<br />
across the EU, equipment<br />
compliant with the current<br />
R&TTE Directive may continue<br />
to be placed on the market<br />
until 13 <strong>June</strong> 2017.<br />
DIRECTIVE FIT<br />
Products which fit within<br />
the following definition are<br />
subject to the RED:<br />
“Radio equipment – an<br />
electrical or electronic<br />
product which intentionally<br />
emits and/or receives radio<br />
waves for the purpose of<br />
radio communication and/<br />
or radiodetermination, or an<br />
electrical or electronic product<br />
which must be completed<br />
with an accessory (such as an<br />
antenna) so as to intentionally<br />
emit and/or receive radio<br />
waves for the purpose of<br />
radio communication and/or<br />
radiodetermination.”<br />
In order to reduce both<br />
Wireless connectivity is<br />
demanded more and more by<br />
equipment makers and users<br />
costs and time to market<br />
for new equipment, we<br />
expect that many machinery<br />
manufacturers will rely on<br />
the use of wireless modules<br />
that already meet some or<br />
all of the RED’s essential<br />
requirements. However, once<br />
these modules are integrated<br />
into another product, the<br />
regulatory requirements will<br />
change as the host machine<br />
falls within the scope of the<br />
RED. Under the RED, the<br />
manufacturer must also<br />
take account of reasonably<br />
foreseeable conditions,<br />
ie use of the product outside<br />
of its intended use.<br />
The most common<br />
method of demonstrating<br />
compliance with the RED<br />
essential requirements would<br />
be by using ‘Harmonised<br />
Standards’. These are written<br />
and published under an<br />
EU mandate, and provide a<br />
‘presumption of conformity’<br />
(or compliance), provided they<br />
are applied in full.<br />
ADDITIONAL STANDARDS<br />
As the scope (and the<br />
safety and radio essential<br />
requirements) of the RED differ<br />
from the R&TTE, additional<br />
standards are required<br />
and existing standards<br />
must be amended. While<br />
harmonised standards are<br />
being reviewed for publication<br />
under the RED, the European<br />
Telecommunications<br />
Standards Institute (ETSI) has<br />
stated that it is not possible to<br />
complete all of the required<br />
standards by 13th <strong>June</strong> <strong>2016</strong>.<br />
Likewise, some standards<br />
produced by CEN/CENELEC<br />
still require amendment.<br />
HARMONISATION<br />
The European Commission<br />
will publish a Harmonised<br />
Standards list for the RED in<br />
the Official Journal (OJ) prior<br />
to 13th <strong>June</strong> <strong>2016</strong> and update it<br />
as necessary. In the absence of<br />
ETSI RED standards published<br />
in the OJ, it shall be mandatory<br />
for any manufacturers wishing<br />
for an early implementation of<br />
the RED to apply to a Notified<br />
Body for a Type Examination<br />
Certificate or a Full Quality<br />
Assurance Approval.<br />
