Andrew Mint
CEO PPMA GROUP OF ASSOCIATIONS
(INCORPORATING PPMA, BARA AND UKIVA)
Welcome to the latest issue of Machinery Update.
I hope you had an enjoyable summer even though
the unpredictable British weather has hit us all again.
There is some ‘sunshine’ on the horizon, however in the form
of the PPMA Show that is now only a matter of weeks away.
The 2017 PPMA Show promises to be a cracker; the biggest in
12 years in fact. We have over 350 exhibitors across packaging and
processing machinery, automation, robotics and machine vision.
These exhibitors represent equipment and services from over
1,500 companies, so a visit to the NEC Birmingham from
26 – 28 September is a no brainer in terms of time well spent.
Numerous working displays of the very latest innovations
will greet visitors, which, let’s be honest, it is hard to beat the
live experience of seeing new equipment in action. This, I would
argue, is one of the key strengths of the PPMA Show and why
deciding to visit the free-to-attend exhibition is one of the easiest
business decisions you will probably make today.
The PPMA Show 2017
will bring sunshine not showers
to the business end of the year
The PPMA Show always likes to provide a fascinating headline
speaker and this year, we are honoured to have Martin Glenn,
CEO at the Football Association (FA), and former food industry
marketer taking centre stage on the first morning. Glenn was
CEO of United Biscuits, as well as being key in transforming the
Walkers and Bird’s Eye brands before going to the FA.
He will share his experiences by comparing food
manufacturing businesses and football as well as talking
about the common issues facing both going forward. He is also
happy to take questions after his presentation, so if you want
to know when England (men) will next win the World Cup,
here’s your chance!
Glenn will speak in the Learning Hub, which will also play host
to a raft of speakers from organisations like the Food Standards
Agency, the Food & Drink Federation and the CE Marking
Association. Take a look at the insert between pages 82 and 83 of
this issue to see the full programme which is designed to enhance
your visit. And to find out more about some of the new equipment
on show, our 62 page PPMA Show Preview starts on page 40.
I look forward to welcoming you to the PPMA Show at the
end of September in Birmingham where there will be some
incredible products and services being showcased.

FA chief exec will ‘put in
a shift’ for PPMA Show
CEO of the Football
Association and former
senior food marketer
Martin Glenn is delivering the
keynote speech at the PPMA
Show in September.
Taking centre stage at
11.30am on the first morning
– September 26, at the NEC,
Birmingham – Glenn will
compare and contrast the
worlds of business and
football. He will also discuss
the role that technology plays
in the FMCG marketing mix
and how this was harnessed
during his time in various
food industry roles.
Glenn was responsible
for doubling profitability at
PepsiCo and rejuvenating
the Walkers brand as well as
sanctioning huge investments
in United Biscuits factories
in his time as chief executive.
He will explain how passion,
innovation and a thorough
understanding of the
consumer and technology
HONORARY DEGREE AWARDED TO PPMA DIRECTOR
University link is rewarded
MD of Jenton International Richard Little has been awarded an
honorary degree of Doctor of Engineering from Southampton Solent
University. “I feel very honoured as I have been involved with the
University for many years now from sponsorship, right through to
employing a couple of students who used to study here, so this is a
real bonus,” he said. His love of innovation led him to co-found
the Wessex Round Table of Inventors at Solent some years ago.
Martin Glenn will take centre stage at the PPMA Show on the first morning
guarantees FMCG growth, even
in mature markets.
“Salty snacks is obviously
a packaging intensive business
and so I oversaw many
packaging and technology
innovations during my time at
Walkers,” says Glenn. “What
I understood from the food
business was that consumers
would not pay for gimmicky
packaging innovation but they
would pay for convenience.
“I also learnt that we could
use packaging as a competitive
advantage, if we got it right,”
he told Machinery Update.
He says that there are many
similarities between his former
roles in manufacturing and his
current job at the FA, politics
aside, and he will share his
thoughts on this during his
opening day speech.
He will also welcome
questions from the audience
about either, on the day.

Seminar programme
includes a must-see
CE marking update
Editor of Machinery Update
Gail Hunt will be hosting
a seminar at 10.30pm on
Tuesday 27th September at
the PPMA Show which will
see managing director of
the CE Marking Association
Mike Foster answer the
question: CE marking
machines – whose
responsibility is it anyway?
This session will show
how the CE mark is more
than just a compliance mark
and how it can be an effective
tool for designing new
machines and assembly lines.
Foster will also explain
how the regulatory changes
of last year can be met.
PPMA Show

SPARC-SYSTEMS.COM
Business leaders from
across industry have
called for the rapid
acceleration of digitalisation
to counter uncertainty in the
economy as well as provide
a much needed boost to
productivity and skills.
Siemens polled 30 CEOs
and board level executives of
the UK’s leading small and
large businesses at a summit
that discussed the challenges
facing the UK economy over
the next two years. Themed
around digitalisation and the
fourth industrial revolution,
the grouping discussed how
the UK could best embrace
new digital technologies.
THE UK IS NOT AMBITIOUS
IN THIS AREA, BELIEVES
82%
of business leaders when asked
about creating new technologies
The Industrial Digitalisation
Review, led by Siemens CEO
Juergen Maier on behalf of
business for Government, was
used as the foundation of the
discussion, and the input will
be factored into its conclusions
which are due later this year.
When asked how good the
UK is at providing the skills for
the next generation and also in
up-skilling existing workforces
required for the fast adoption
of new digital technologies,
the picture was stark. Indeed,
85% of those polled said the
lack of advanced digital skills
in the workforce was holding
back the UK in the global
technology race.
Only 15% said the UK was
among the most skilled.
Attendees agreed
that a defined national
skills standard for digital
engineering should inform
teaching and learning in
schools and colleges.

Video use is
increasing in
getting data
A recent survey conducted by
test and measurement company
HBM found that video use
is accelerating in data collection.
The study shows that almost
half of the respondents (47%)
already use video in data
recording today, while 54%
of the respondents expect video
use within their organisation to
increase in the next year.
TACTILE SENSORS
Video cameras are already used
in many test and measurement
applications throughout the
industry in addition to data
collection with traditional tactile
sensors. But until now, there has
been very little information on the
level and nature of this use.
“There is no longer any question
that recording video data in parallel
to tactile sensors or digital bus
signals is becoming more and
more attractive to users,” says
Christof Salcher, product manager
instrumentation at HBM.
“Video supports traditional sensor
data and is becoming a valuable
source of additional information,
making the room for interpretation
even narrower in testing.”
ADDITIONAL INPUT
The survey showed that the most
common reason for using video in
data collection is to gain additional
input analysing unexpected
deviations (73%). Other common
reasons are decision finding (50%)
and visualisation of results to
management (41%).
Regular video (such as
webcams) is by far the most
common equipment for video in
data collection. In the survey, 80%
of respondents use this type.
“As the tactile and non-tactile
worlds of data collection come
together, there is not a question
of using either video or traditional
sensor data - but both,” says
Salcher. “HBM is well positioned
to face a growing demand in this
area, already integrating video in
a range of our applications.”

Labelling, New Machinery Coding & Marking
Oxygen content is measured
in-line to guarantee quality
GEA describes OxyCheck
as offering a new level
of ensuring food quality
as it measures every pack
on a line to see if the oxygen
content is correct.
The non-invasive, in-line
quality control system
for modified atmosphere
packaging (MAP) is designed
to benefit consumers, retailers
and food producers alike.
This technology checks and
analyses the oxygen content
in every MAP pack produced.
It is not just checking for leaks
where oxygen is escaping.
“The correct oxygen content
is absolutely critical when it
comes to reach the promised
shelf life and product quality
like taste and colour,” explains
Volker Sassmannshausen,
senior product manager at GEA.
“The fact that we are able
to introduce this non-invasive
system fully integrated into a
thermoforming machine on
an industrial scale without
slowing down or stopping
the process really sets our
technology apart,” he says.
Many invasive oxygen
Invasive oxygen measuring only inspects samples but OxyCheck tests 100%
measuring techniques only
inspect sample packs but
the GEA OxyCheck inspects
100% of all packages
produced without damaging
the film or breaking the
seal. This, according to
Sassmannshausen, means
only packages that don’t
meet the residual oxygen
specifications are discarded
and no material or contents
are wasted.
Previously, a single package
with deteriorated content
could often lead to the
rejection of an entire batch
to prevent unsafe foods from
reaching consumers. And the
potential costs of a recall can
be very substantial.
“The GEA OxyCheck
effectively minimises the risk
to recall entire food batches
and thus increases food safety
and limits food waste, while
saving our customers money,”
says Sassmannshausen.
In operation, a sensor spot
is used to measure the oxygen
level in the MAP packs,
and these are preprinted at
the film supplier as opposed
to being printed in-line. Going
forward, the company will
license film suppliers to print
this sensor spot.
Currently, this technology
can be included on the
GEA PowerPak horizontal
thermoformer as an option
on new machines with
MAP capability. In the
future, however, the range
of applications may grow
to include other packaging
machines, free-standing
or hand-held scanners at
distribution centres or pointof-sale
monitoring for retailers.
Readers visiting the PPMA
Show at the NEC in September
(26-28) have two opportunities
to learn more about this
technology: at 1pm on Tuesday
and 1pm on Wednesday in

New dual gripper not only increases productivity, but it
also makes life easier for workers tending any machines
RARUK Automation believes
its links with Universal
Robots and Robotiq grippers
& sensors provides the perfect
combination for off-the-shelf,
customised automation
solutions. To widen the
scope of this partnership,
the company has announced
the availability of the new
Robotiq dual gripper.
It is designed specifically for
machine tending applications
where the robot is required to
remove a completed part from
the machine and replace it
with a new one for processing.
The clear benefit of the
Robotiq dual gripper is
productivity. By having
two grippers on the same
Universal Robot arm shortens
cycle times, creates a more
efficient production line and
increases output. Indeed,
it’s even possible to have two,
dual grippers on the same
robot to boost productivity
even further.
One early user of this new
combination has reduced
changeover times by 50%
The Robotiq dual gripper is available
– from 40 minutes to
20 minutes – when compared
to loading its PCB products
manually. Importantly, this
technology also relieves
employees of repetitive
tasks that can cause
physical and mental
tiredness, allowing
them to move on to
more fulfilling roles
within the business.
The new gripper is suitable
for all manufacturers seeking
greater productivity and
flexibility, whatever their
size or level of experience
in automation.

Unwrapper/Unbagger is
a flexible robotic option
The BW Container
Systems robotic
Unwrapper/Unbagger
is designed to remove
stretch and/or shrink
wrap from pallet loads
prior to de-palletising.
The machine has the
capability to unwrap
virtually any type of load
utilising either form of
wrapping.
These loads include bulk
glass or plastic bottles,
aluminium or steel cans
and pallets of cases or
stretch wrapped bundles.
The Unbagging option
allows for removal of
shrink wrap from bulk glass loads.
As not all wrap types can be handled
in the same way, the company offers
three applications depending on specific
requirements for wrap removal. These are
the standard stretch wrap Unwrapper;
the shrink wrap Unbagger and the fully
featured Unwrapper/Unbagger which
will remove both stretch or shrink wrap
from pallet loads.
In operation, the Unwrapper utilises a
focused hot air gun (or heat gun) to apply
a stream of hot air to the wrap. The hot
air weakens the strength of the alreadystretched
plastic, causing it to break apart
In operation, the Unwrapper utilises a focused hot air gun to apply steam
and therefore separating the wrap.
The robot then places the wrap into a pinch
roller assembly that pulls it through and
into one of a variety of post unwrapping
removal options.
These start out as simple as a bin or it can
be as integrated as a vacuum pipe system
to a bailer. Multiple Unwrappers can feed a
common bailer for multi-line applications.
The Unbagger option utilises a knife
to cut the shrink wrap but otherwise,
the procedure is similar to the unwrapping
process, says the company.

code accuracy and legibility.
The Videojet 6530 and 6330 come with
iAssure technology which Videojet says is
an industry-first, integrated code quality
assurance system that automatically
detects common print defects. Used to
complement existing quality control
processes, as it does not read barcodes,
operators can now decide to stop the line
when multiple common print defects are
detected, reducing the need to scrap or
rework product.
“Videojet iAssure technology will help
our customers consistently deliver high
quality images by detecting print defects
caused by things like dirty printheads,
uneven print surfaces or ribbon wrinkles,”
says Heidi Wright, business unit manager
for Videojet Technologies. “iAssure
technology complements existing quality
control processes and no other TTO printer
on the market can do this,” she claims.
The 6530 and 6330 printers can also print
on zipper packs or pouches of varying
thickness with no special set up.

Digitalisation is the
unifying stand offer
At this year’s drinktec Krones
will, as in all the previous
years, be showcasing its
corporate capabilities in Hall B6.
The principal focus this time is on
innovations primarily designed
to improve line performance still
further, to ensure even higher
individualisation and flexibility,
and to impart additional
sustainability to the production
operation.
Digitalisation plays a key role
in this context, and constitutes a
unifying theme for the entire Krones
stand. Because marrying iron and
steel to clouds and data makes
for an even closer intermeshing
of all processes along the entire
value added chain, and will in the end
significantly upgrade performance levels
in the production environment as well.
When it comes to filling beverages
and liquid foods, the speed of the filling
process plays a crucial role. For this
reason, Krones is continuing to prioritise
high speeds for its lines. Therefore, at
drinktec 2017, a high-speed line for filling
bottles with beer will be on show, with a
rating unequalled at present by any rival
on the market, says the company.
Also on show will be a pilot line that
combines a filler, direct printing machine
and intelligent conveyors, to demonstrate
Krones will be intermeshing iron and steel with clouds and data
that even small batch sizes can be
efficiently produced while nonetheless
retaining maximised flexibility.
Krones is also driving forward the
issue of eco-efficiency – and the vision
of an energy-autonomous, sustainable
production operation is already taking
tangible shape in the ‘Brewery of the
Future’, the company says.
In addition, the demand for space-saving
layouts is steadily increasing, which is
why Krones is developing the block concept
for complete lines.

TM Robotics, Toshiba Machine’s
EMEA and US partner, has launched
its latest range of six-axis robots
that can be used in a variety of industrial
applications including manufacturing for
automotive components, plastics, medical,
packaging and the pharmaceutical sector.
This vertically articulated robot series
is available in three models, each with
varying reach and payload specifications.
Compared to previous ranges, the
improved TVM six-axis robot series also
provides a longer arm length in each of
its three models.
The largest model, the TVM1500,
provides a maximum reach of 1715mm,
the TVM1200 can reach up to 1418mm
and the smallest model, the TVM900,
provides a maximum reach of up to
1124mm. In addition to three distinctive
arm lengths, the operating range of each
model can be expanded by mounting the
robot on an optional linear actuator.
Even though the robot body has been
reduced in weight, the six-axis TVM range
can still manage payloads of up to 20kg,
with the TVM900 model. The smaller
models, the TVM1200 and TVM1500 can
each manage 15kg and 10kg respectively.
These robots also provide complete
hardware compatibility with other
Toshiba Machine equipment, including
the company’s robot vision recognition
package TSVision3D. What’s more, all
three models are compatible with the same
robot controller, the TSL3200.
As with all Toshiba Machine industrial
robots, the controllers are programmed
in SCOL, a programming language similar
to BASIC.
CELL BASED ROBOTS ON OFFER
“Everyone is talking about the potential
of collaborative robotics in manufacturing,
however investing in this technology is
not always feasible, or even necessary,”
says Nigel Smith, founder and CEO of
TM Robotics. “By trusting in our expertise,
manufacturers can discover whether
they really need to invest in collaborative
robotics, or whether cell based robots
could provide them with a more cost
effective solution.
“Toshiba Machine’s new six-axis TVM
range will expand our robotics offering,
allowing us to provide cost effective
six-axis automation to manufacturers and
industrial applications around the globe,”
he continues. “Alongside our Toshiba
Machine SCARA and Cartesian robots
and the new six-axis TVM range,

Installation News
A fresh approach to robot type
has delivered line efficiencies
Fox’s, one of the UK’s
leading biscuit brands,
has replaced hard
working SCARA type
robots with conventional
six axis robots to overcome
efficiency issues relating to
obsolescence.
The move away from SCARA
configuration to conventional
six axis arms illustrates the
affordability and efficiency
gains offered by today’s
advanced robotic designs,
says supplier Kawasaki.
The biscuit maker’s Uttoxeter
facility first implemented
robotic handling of wrapped
biscuits, using SCARA
configuration robots in 1998.
This move reduced operators
from 34 to just 14, at the time.
OPERATOR EFFICIENCY
Designed originally for
high-speed handling and
assembly, the arms operated
at their upper efficiency
range for 80,000 hours before
a complete rebuild and a
further ten years of operation
rendered them obsolete as
they were operating at just
70% efficiency.
Out of three replacement
options proposed to Fox’s,
only Kawasaki Robotics UK
suggested a move back to
conventional six axis arms.
Through simulations, the
company was able to illustrate
that its RS-20N robots would
cost effectively match, and
exceed if required, the output
of the existing SCARA robots.
“The SCARA arms had
worked well but operating
Out of three replacement options, only Kawasaki suggested six axis robots
The Kawasaki RS-20N robot arms have met the specification cost effectively
consistently at such high
speeds, and obsolescence
of parts, took its toll on
operational efficiency,”
explains David Bill, Fox’s
maintenance manager and
project manager for the
update. “Our replacement
criteria was straight-forward;
to meet existing production
levels and to fit within the
existing work envelope,”
he continues.
“Kawasaki proved to us
that its RS-20N robot arms
could meet the specification
cost effectively and operate
well within their scope of
performance,” explains Bill.
Integration of the
replacement robots and
the updating of control and
peripheral equipment was
carried out by food and
beverage automation specialists
Visppro Limited. As an existing
supplier to Fox’s and familiar
with the production line,
Visppro was ideally suited to
ensure a smooth transition over
a two week period.
The production area
produces variety packs, each
pack comprising 4 separate
packs of biscuits, typically
Nice, Bourbon, Malted Milk
and Custard Creams.
Each robot’s job is to load
an input conveyor with packs
of one type of biscuit from a
tote bin; four conveyors, one
per biscuit type, transport the
biscuits to a collator which
feeds four packs of different
biscuits into a wrapper.
After wrapping, completed
packs pass over a metal
detector before entering
a carton erector.
“The robots are working
well within their capacity
and efficiency is already in
the high 90’s,” says Bill.
“This is a very important
product to Fox’s and several
production lines feeding it
biscuits are reliant on its
continued uptime,” he
continues. “Prior to this
installation we built up 14 days
of stock so the pressure was on
Visppro to meet the deadline.
SMOOTH INSTALLATION
Bill tells Machinery Update
that the installation came
together very well, with as
many as 17 personnel
working on their own specific
areas at any one time.
“The system was operating in
seven days and training took
part during the next seven
days with full efficiency
run-up being reached within
six weeks,” he says.
Kawasaki believes moving
from SCARA robots to
conventional six axis robots
offers considerable benefit
to Fox’s besides overcoming
the obsolescence issue.
The system is configured
so that if required, one
robot could load across
two conveyors allowing
for maintenance or any
unplanned outage.
Also, programming is now
straight-forward with revised
location functions being
enabled through the system
PLC.

Flow wrapping module offers
future pack format flexibility
Turkish confectionery
manufacturer Sölen is
one of the first Schubert
customers who has opted for
the Flowmodul flow wrapping
station because it delivers
flexibility of packaging formats,
now and in the future.
Over the last five years,
Sölen has ordered 24
packaging machines from the
Crailsheim-based company.
The most recent order from
Turkey was for 16 new TLM
machines – including six lines
with Flowmoduls. One of
these new machines packs the
Ozmo Cornet in a multipack
format in flow wrap bags.
This Flowmodul packs
a plastic tray with four or
six horizontally positioned
cornet products.
Sölen’s specification for
Schubert’s developers was
very clear: the TLM machine
should pack the sweets using
different packs and packaging
materials. With this in mind,
the line can pack the trays
in flow wrap bags as well as
in cartons.
“Since the product line can be
automatically adjusted, format
The products are placed horizontally
in the trays and then transported to
the recently developed Flowmodul
In the Turkish plant, the waffle bags are placed in trays and then packed either in display cartons or flow wrap bags
changes are quickly and easily
implemented,” says member of
the Sölen executive committee
Erdogan Coban. For the Ozmo
Cornet line, a maximum of two
machine operators are required
to pack 250 confectionery bags
per minute.
For trays with six products,
for example, this results in a
machine output of 41.7 trays
per minute.
CENTRAL CONTROL
“The greatest advantage of
Schubert machines is that
all packaging processes can
be centrally controlled and
this also applies to the new
Flowmodul,” says Coban.
In operation, products
arrive at the TLM machine’s
first station in a multi-row
formation and standing on a
conveyor system. There, two
rows are taken from the first
F2 robot and placed in the
Transmodul’s format plate.
If a product is missing,
the F4 robot takes an Ozmo
Cornet from a side table and
fills the gap in the row on the
Transmodul.
As part of the quality control
process, the F2 robots that
take the products from the
moving chain conveyor have
a sensor system to check for
the presence
of lids.
This ensures
that only
products with
undamaged
individual
wraps are
placed on the
four-way or
six-way trays.
This unit is
completed
with a
Transmodul
which
transfers the
confectionery
to the packing
area.
There is
a parallel
Transmodul section for new
packaging materials.
A magazine holds the
packaging carton blanks
and the trays for holding
the confectionery cornets in
In all, five different final packaging
formats for the trays are handled
the carton. In all, the new
installation can handle five
different final packaging
formats for the loaded trays.
This enables the packaging of
trays with four
or six Ozmo
Cornets in flow
wrap bags.
Alternatively,
the products
can also be
packed on the
machine in
two different
formations of
twelve and one
formation with
24 products.
With its
highly flexible,
modular TLM
technology,
the Turkish
manufacturer
can respond
quickly to
market and product format
trend changes. It is therefore
well positioned for meeting its
ambitious company targets.

Product lines are controlled by
dependable automation system
An automation
system installed
by fish and
seafood company
Dawnfresh to help it
meet retailer demands
has also delivered a
10% uplift in packaging
line throughput.
The OAL Connected
system controls the
packaging line to prevent
any product recalls
related to label and date
code errors and has
replaced a previous,
non-performing option.
Dawnfresh has invested
in a single automated
system from OAL to
control its packaging
lines and integrate
existing packaging devices
ensuring that the correct
packaging and labelling is
applied before products leave
the factory. “We chose OAL as
our supplier because its system
achieved our specification
and more,” explains Phil
Cassidy, technical director
at Dawnfresh. “OAL really
understood the challenges
we faced improving visibility
The system has helped seafood company Dawnfresh comply with the M&S Code of Practice
on the packaging line and
delivered a fantastic solution.”
Wayne Johnson, head of
OAL Connected, says that the
company is seeing tougher
requirements for packaging
line control as the cost of
failure increases.
The OAL system now
installed at Dawnfresh works
by scanning a 2D barcode
AMJ Maters MU J-F 2015_Layout 1 19/01/2015 14:39 Page 1
printed on every product to
check and verify the date code
and packaging is correct.
If a mismatch error occurs,
the line stops, and the
problem is investigated.
Since the installation,
Dawnfresh has had zero
product recalls relating to
label and date code errors.
OAL says a shorter return
on investment time
was achieved because
Dawnfresh is using
its integrated factory
performance reporting
module. This records
accurate real-time
production data for the
site to identify areas for
improvement as part of
a continuous improvement
strategy.
In operation, when a line
stop occurs, operators must
record a reason code on
the touchscreen terminal.
The recorded data is both
accurate and can be used in
real-time so engineers can
act as potential slowdowns
occur while also helping
Dawnfresh to identify any
areas for improvement.
“By investing in
automation, Dawnfresh has
secured compliance with
retailer codes of practice
for label and date code
verification while producing
actionable data to improve
production performance
continually,” says Johnson.

Marrying IT gains with
cheese weighing needs
Traditional Dutch family
business Vepo Cheese
has worked with
Multipond weighers for many
years but, the packaging
company has recently
developed a system to create
extra control for grated cheese
to prevent product giveaway.
These new Multipond
systems have been connected
to the cheese company
network while extra screens
for each packaging line were
added to the Multipond
weighing systems.
“The hourly averages can now
be clearly read from the display
and recorded,” explains Marc
van der Bij, IT manager at
Vepo Cheese. “If the average is
too low, the display becomes
red so then the operators know
they have to intervene.
“The display also shows
how much production is still
left to be run for a particular
order and this information
helps to prevent any errors,”
he continues.
According to van der Bij,
an additional advantage
of the new system is that

that has made the working
environment safer and more

can now be avoided.
“When the Multipond has
been set to 500g and the coder
in the packaging machine to
1000g, for instance, this will
be automatically detected.”
It was quite a challenge
for Multipond to provide
both the hardware and the
software interfacing for the
oldest weighing systems
as well as for the latest
Windows CE-controlled
weighing systems. By having
the IT department of Vepo
communicate directly with
the Multipond specialists
in the plant, a platform
was created for a customeroriented
solution.
Another advantage of the
newly developed system is
that the figures of the hourly
average are transparent for
the employees, for the visiting
customers and for the external
(BRC/IFS) auditors conducting
audits.

Today, Bristan’s operators
stand on the platform of
the man rider and use
the hydraulic tilt to raise
and lower the boom while
extending or retracting the
boom within the container.
It provides workers with
safe access to the pick face
and reduces the risk of
a manual handling injury by
eliminating overhead lifting.

All-electric
unit seals
sterile pack
Packaging Automation (PA) has
helped Biocomposites to achieve
a sterile pack for its pioneering
calcium compound devices that
regenerate and repair bone and
soft tissue.
PA’s test kitchen was used to
complete comprehensive sealing
trials to demonstrate, test and
prove that the required standard
could be achieved. Biocomposites
are now supplying consistently
reliable sealed packs that provide
assurance that the product remains
sterile up to the point of use.
After approaching several
suppliers to discuss its
requirements, Biocomposites
chose to purchase a fully electric,
semi-automatic eclipseR tray
sealing machine. Biocomposites’
production director Chis
McGuiness says the eclipseR
was chosen due to a combination
of product requirements,
environmental constraints and
advice from PA technical experts.
The machine requires zero air
for operation and can seal up to
40 packs per minute. Since using
the eclipseR, Biocomposites
has seen a moderate increase in
production output and improved
ease of use for the operator.
“Choosing the most suitable
supplier for key equipment can
become difficult when you find
yourself having to filter out
important information from
unfamiliar phrasing used in a
pressured sales pitch, but our
purchasing experience with
Packaging Automation came
with no such burden,” says
McGuiness.

“The reason for
installing an induction
sealer, rather than relying
on the cap closure,
was to provide tamper
evidence and to avoid
product leakage if a cap
wasn’t screwed on tightly
enough,” says Pike.
The company selected
Enercon’s best-selling

End of line palletising is
a game changer for eggs
RM Group has developed
an end of line
automation solution
that is allowing egg producers
to process and palletise their
eggs with ease and at a speed
that is influencing daily
production rates.
The latest system was
installed for a local Mid Wales
based egg supplier who was in
need of automating its existing
egg processing line. The
system of grading and placing
the eggs into plastic trays
was already established at
the plant, but lacked the end
of line automation so was an
ideal match for the RM Group
egg palletiser.
The Mid Wales based farm
produces about 24,000 eggs
per day, so dealing with
such vast numbers meant it
was essential to have a fast
and reliable solution to the
problem.
This was achieved through
the new egg palletising robot.
Designed as an end of line
palletiser, it stacks the eggtrays
securely onto a pallet through
the use of a specifically
designed head attached to
an ABB palletising robot.
“We needed something
reliable that could cut our
staff by half, saving us
50% of our wage bill,”
explains Hywel Davies.
“Since the robot has been in
full production we have been
very impressed by how agile
and smoothly the eggs are
moved from our grader to the
pallet with precision placing,

Orders come
from show
experience
JNY Food Co Ltd of Taiwan has
ordered a Bradman Lake SL903
end load cartoner to pack oriental
prepared meal kits and pouches.
Having looked at various
cartoning technologies from
other suppliers, JNY was in the
process of placing the order with
a competitor but decided not to go
ahead after visiting the Bradman
Lake stand at interpack in May.
As well as witnessing the
technology of the company’s
latest generation integrated
packaging line, Bradman Lake’s
solution based approach and its
commitment in customer support
were also deciding factors.
The new packaging line on
the stand comprised a VGR2000
vision guided robotic pick-andplace
line, which loaded the
products into the infeed of a
FT120 multipack flow wrapper
using two robots. After the
required collation had been
created and flow wrapped,
the products entered the IMSL
end load cartoner – Bradman
Lake’s latest machine.
“One of the main reasons for
winning this order was the trust
we established with the customer
and our ability to guide them
through their first ever automatic
cartoning project,” says sales
manager at Bradman Lake
Tony Marlow.
This is the company’s second
order secured at interpack,
the first was from a Chilean

Interroll MCP – intersection line 3
Conveyor
platform is
modular
Alpi Sistemi designed and
implemented the new automated
warehouse for owners of the
Paul & Shark clothing brand
Dama utilising Interroll’s modular
conveyor platform (MCP) to
successfully boost productivity in
this specific sector by 150%.
Dama launched the luxury
sportswear brand in 1970 and
all the goods produced transit
through its central warehouse
and logistics hub in Casciago,
before being sent onto its retailer
network. The 27,000sq m
warehouse operates on multiple
levels and is sub-divided into
areas for different tasks, including
folding and hanging of items
with lines that allow automated
handling and storage.
Alpi Sistemi designed and
implemented the bespoke system
in order to optimise the workflow
and also increase efficiency.
The core design of the platform
involves a robust, modular
system that incorporates the
various key conveyor elements
to form a complete material flow
solution to fulfil the required
services. Working closely with
Interroll to thoroughly assess the
handling of a sizeable quantity
of packages entering and leaving
the distribution centre, Interroll

Reliable processing and
packaging is crucial to
Spanish fruit company
Frutas Montosa especially
for its sensitive products
like mangoes and avocados
which is where denesters and
traysealers from Sealpac
come in.
This not only applies to
Frutas Montosa’s bestseller
(guacamole in trays of 200g
or 500g), but also to the
company’s new mango dip.
The general procedure for
both products is the same;
after processing the resulting
dip is pushed through pipes
to the dosing system that
is positioned above the
packaging line.
This line starts with tray
denesting on Sealpac’s
AS-LS1200 servo linear
denester. The trays are
transported to the Dosimaq
filling system, which
accurately deposits the
required amount of product.
After hermetic sealing
on a traysealer and weight
checking, the trays are
collected on a rotating table.
The operator places the
sealed trays in a torpedo and
loads these into a high pressure
processing unit, where they
are subjected to a pressure
of 6,000 bars. As a final step,
the pressure-treated trays are
taken from the torpedo and
Frutas Montosa’s bestseller is guacamole, which it sells to retailers globally
transported to the lidding
system.
To keep up with the growing
demand for guacamole, Frutas
Montosa bought its very first
Sealpac A6 traysealer five
year’s ago.
SIGNIFICANT OUTPUT
“The performance of the
A6 traysealer, which combines
flexibility with significant
output, was clearly better
than that of other equipment
around,” says Frederico
Montosa. “Nowadays,
we actually have four
A6 traysealers and one
A4 traysealer for packaging
our full range of products.”
The smaller A4 traysealer
Automated denesting, dosing, sealing and checkweighing delivers outputs
is handling the recently
introduced mango dip.
“Now that its sales have taken
off, we are already discussing
the options for more capacity
in the area of high pressure
processing and lidding,”
says Montosa.
Traditionally, Frutas
Montosa’s main product has
been guacamole, but the
company also sells whole
fresh avocados, for which
it developed a new type of
packaging several years ago.
By placing two avocados in a
two-compartment tray, with
each compartment shaped
to the avocado, it is now able
to market these commodity
products with added value.
Securely sealed on a Sealpac
traysealer, these products are
easily stacked and transported.
This new pack design has
now also been adopted for
whole fresh mangoes. “One of
the benefits of the traysealers is
that they can handle different
packaging systems by means
of a simple tool change,” says
Montosa. “This allows us to
run new pack designs on the
same base machine, even after
several years of service.”

Complete system delivers a
range of biscuit pack styles
Thanks to its Delta robots
with artificial vision,
Cama has recently
installed a complete system for
handling flow packed biscuits
either in trays or in a pile.
The different formats are
first loaded into a preglued
carton by a high speed
continuous motion cartoner,
and then the products are top
loaded into shipping cases.
“Versatility, easy change over
and reliability are the key
words of this Cama turnkey
solution,” says Mark Brooker
of Cama UK.
The system was designed
to handle a range of varied
product formats. In operation,
biscuits of different dimensions
are delivered to the Cama
robotic loading unit on a flat
conveyor. Up to 500 biscuits
a minute arrive in flow packed
piles of three units or in flow
packed trays.
Four Cama Delta robots,
driven by artificial vision,
check the incoming products,
pick them up and place them
in the correct orientation onto
the conveyor of the cartoning
The system can handle various
biscuit formats with speedy ease
machine. The robots create
the necessary loading pattern,
which can be a multi-portion
pack composed by 3x2 piles
of biscuits, or a single flow
wrapped tray to be loaded into
the preglued carton.
The continuous motion
cartoner, model CL169, side
loads the trays or collations of
piled biscuits into pre-glued
cartons before the flaps
are closed and sealed by hot
melt glue.
Depending on the different
products and configurations
being handled, speed can
range to up to 150 cartons
per minute on the line.
Case packing takes place on
the Cama IF294: a monoblock
unit which combines case
erector, 2-axis top loading unit
and case closer in one single
structure. It collates the
cartons and loads them into
shipping cases.
“This line is a great example
of Cama’s capability to supply
turnkey solutions, starting
from the vision driven pick
& place, integrating with
high-speed cartoners and

18-head weigher can handle
small packs at higher speed
Ishida multihead weighing
technology has helped
to transform the packing
operation of food company
Hügli’s factory in Zàsmuky
in the Czech Republic with
the installation of a compact
18 head Ishida multihead
weigher to pack dehydrated
products into small 15g to
25g bags at speeds of up to
100 per minute.
“We originally specified
a top speed of 90 packs per
minute for the weigher, but it
quickly became apparent that
the multihead weigher had
the capability to operate even
faster and this has helped to
further increase throughput,”
explains Hügli production
director Pavel Coufal.
While the machine
predominantly handles the
smaller target weights, it also
has the flexibility to handle
larger size packs of up to 150g.
A key benefit of the Ishida
weighers is their ability to
handle changeovers easily.

Compact palletisers transform
efficiencies for biscuit packing
Aturnkey palletising
solution from
Brillopak is on
track to yield a return
on investment within
less than 15 months by
dramatically reducing
labour requirements
at the end of a line.
Seven compact
palletisers have
been installed onto
a mezzanine floor of
the Ashby de la Zouch
co-packing centre of
Pladis, the owner of
United Biscuits and
McVities. In excess of
80 SKUs, most of which
involve different box
sizes, are handled here
which is why the palletising
solution had to be extremely
flexible in operation.
Previously, boxes of
products from seven different
lines were palletised manually
which was not only a labour
intensive operation but,
due to lack of space, also
caused congestion in the
packing area. Pladis therefore
approached several equipment
Pladis says the repeatable precision of the palletisers in operation is a credit to Brillopak
suppliers to propose a robotic
solution that would solve
these issues.
Four compact C2 KT400
single cell palletisers were
chosen for the manual pack
stations with a further two
KT400 for each flow wrapper
and a KT800 dual cell for the
high speed cartoner.
“This Brillopak solution met
our needs in terms of layout,
performance and price,”
says Mike Hellier from Pladis.
“The small footprint of the
palletiser combined with the
flexibility to handle our 50
plus SKUs with no tooling
changeover also had a big
impact on our decision.”
Each system uses the latest
Omron NJ series control
system incorporating motion
control, communications
and a separate safety
circuit. Pallet layer
patterns are set up
in-house following
training that was
given by Brillopak.
Product setup involves
simply keying in
the SKU number or
selecting from a drop
down list.
The rest is set up
automatically and the
machine is ready to
operate.
All the machines
were inspected at
Brillopak’s factory
prior to installation
and barring minor
hiccups; the machines
went in on time and with a
minimum of disruption to
production.
Since this time, the
machines have performed
to the desired high level
of performance but have
exceeded Pladis’ expectations
in terms of reliability and
consistency.

World preview of a sleeving
system will be seen at show
The MP136 sleeving system will make its debut at the PPMA Show and will demonstrate its flexibility, trouble-free running and high productivity benefits
The official UK launch
of the MP136 sleeving
system that is designed to
provide flexibility, trouble-free
running and high productivity
will be seen on Cama’s stand
at the NEC-based event.
This latest ‘Break-Through
Generation’ sleeving machine
can pack (neck in and/or neck
out) bottles, cups, jars, bricks,
tins/cans and thermoformed
containers from single and/or
double lane in up to three
product layers.
The sleeving machine
being demonstrated has been
designed to handle glass jars
in various configurations,
either in single or double layer,
at speeds of up to 300 sleeved
packs per minute.
“This design has been
conceived along TPM
(Total Productive Maintenance)
and 6 Sigma principles,”
explains Mark Brooker, director
of Cama UK.
In practice, the control
cabinets with the electric and
pneumatic components are
integrated into the machine
corners. This not only reduces
the machine’s footprint but also
minimises cabling, reduces
installation time and aids easy
placement within any factory.
The machine also delivers
ease of access for the operator
and for maintenance, improves
hygiene, reduces the number
of components in format
changes and also in component
utilisation. This in turn, delivers
reduced spares holding and
ease of maintenance.
“This philosophy is now
applied across the full range
of Cama Group packaging
machines and robotic packing
solutions,” says Brooker.
The company offers a complete
range of secondary packaging
machines such as forming,
closing and lidding machines;
top load & side load cartoners;

Self-monitoring coder will help
businesses improve their OEE
Interactive Coding Equipment
(ICE) will launch a next
generation thermal transfer
overprinter (TTO) which is
able to monitor and report
on the quality of each code
it produces. This largely
removes the need to include
a vision system on the line
in order to meet increasing
demands from retailers for
code quality checks.
ICE says its new Zodiac
Hawk TTO will help
businesses in their drive to
achieve improved Overall
Equipment Effectiveness
(OEE) by being the first coder
that can report on all three
elements of OEE, with quality
now included alongside
performance and availability.
Equally important, the
coder’s ability to provide early
warning of any potential
loss of code quality will help
to minimise production
disruption and downtime.
It will also reduce the risk
of customer complaints or
the possibility of a product
recall, and its cost
implications and potential
damage to brand reputation.
The new coder is billed as a major step forward in thermal transfer overprinting
“We believe the Zodiac
Hawk represents a major step
forward in thermal transfer
overprinting,” says ICE
director Chris Simpson.
“A reduction in code quality
can disrupt production and
has the potential to generate
consumer complaints but in
the past, monitoring codes
effectively has required
investment in additional
expensive equipment,” he
continues. “Now with the
Hawk, this vital task is carried
out as part of the actual
coding operation, offering
a highly efficient and costeffective
means of ensuring
the quality of every code.”
The TTO features iAssure,
an internal checking system
that assesses the spent
ribbon after each code has
been produced to determine
whether the print quality has
been good enough. If the code
is deemed to be unacceptable,
the Zodiac Hawk can signal
for the pack to be rejected
and if the fault persists, can
declare a trend of deterioration
and stop the line entirely.
All information on poor
quality codes, along with
guidance for rectifying the
problem, is reported on
the control screen or may
be accessed and printed
off remotely to enable
manufacturers to take
immediate action.
This helps to minimise
line downtime and limits the
amount of codes with poor
quality which otherwise may
have exited the manufacturing
process, says ICE.
In addition to its ability
to self-monitor code quality,
the Zodiac Hawk also offers
a number of other features
such as its ability to operate
without compressed air to
generate the necessary force
for the printhead and, the fact
it can operate in continuous
or intermittent print modes.
This has significantly
increased print speeds and
throughput capability, with
line speeds as high as 700
packs per minute possible,
explains Simpson.

The full product portfolio for foreign body
detection, including new options, is shown
Minebea Intec continues to
expand its range of solutions
for foreign body detection
with the introduction of a
new x-ray inspection system:
‘Dymond Bulk’ set to be
unveiled at the show. This will
be demonstrated alongside the
freefall metal detection system
Vistus while a new software
release for statistical process
controls: SPC@Enterprise 3.0,

Dymond Bulk reliably
inspects bulk goods like
nuts, smaller fruits, frozen

coffee and seeds, and rejects
any foreign bodies it identifies.
The x-ray system not only
identifies foreign bodies made
from metal, plastic and stone,
but also bits of dirt and glass,
which has obvious benefits for
all goods that are introduced
into the production process
straight from the field.
When it comes to processing

New multi-lane metal detector is
designed to beat waste challenge
Fortress Technology
will unveil how metal
detection sensitivity
accomplished by its multiaperture
technology can
deliver optimal food safety
while helping to eradicate
false product rejects.
Factory food waste is a
huge issue and choices about
production equipment,
including metal detection
and other quality control,
can impact the 1.9 million
tonnes wasted annually by
the UK food supply chain.
The Waste and Resources
Action Programme, or WRAP,
estimates 1.1 million tonnes
of this is avoidable, valuing it
at £1.9 billion and attributing
almost 90% to manufacturing.
Forming the centrepiece
of the Fortress display is the
first UK live demonstration
of the company’s new waste
reducing, triple-lane, multiaperture
metal detector.
Rather than channelling
multiple lanes through a single
metal detector, one Stealth
metal detector is mounted
across three conveyor lines.
Avoidable UK manufacturing waste is about 1.1 million tonnes per annum
Each conveyor has its
own BRC-approved reject
system. This puts a stop to an
entire row of good product
being rejected and wasted
if a contaminated product is
identified on one line.
“In a 5-lane configuration
this technically equates to a
400% reduction in false reject
waste,” highlights Phil Brown,
Fortress’s European sales
director. Reliable industry
estimates put the annual
cost per production conveyor
line of false rejects at up to
£14,000, depending on the
scale of the problem.
However, Brown thinks
that this is a conservative
figure when you combine the
physical waste with repeat
machine stoppages.
Having a dedicated aperture
on each lane, measuring
175mm x 75mm, also means
it can detect even smaller
metal particles, of all types,
down to 0.7 mm ferrous, 0.7 mm
non ferrous and 1.4 mm
stainless steel. What’s more,
the smaller apertures cope
better with orientation and
product effect, again reducing
the likelihood of false product
rejects while safeguarding a
food manufacturer’s brand
reputation.
Featuring Contact
data software for remote
interrogation, the multi-lane
unit also optimises factory
floor space. This was the
case with a twin lane version
recently installed by Dutch
bakery Borgesius where the
closeness of conveyors made
it logistically impossible to
insert two metal detectors.
Alongside the triple-lane
system, Fortress will showcase
three other key applications
on its stand. They include a
Stealth pipeline metal detector
equipped with new Halo2
automatic test technology;
an incline feed gravity metal
detector, plus a horizontal
Interceptor conveyor system
that uses simultaneous
multi-frequency technology
to optimise sensitivity and

shredder
Untha UK will unveil its new
packaging, pallet and plastics
shredder at the show.
Capable of handling
everything from wooden pallets
to production waste – as well
as plastic lump, drums, film
and mixed rigids – the QR high
throughput shredder has been
developed in conjunction with
recyclers worldwide.
Untha UK’s managing director
Marcus Brew says this latest
innovation is about achieving
impressive results with minimal
effort. “It’s a flexible piece of
equipment that can be easily
reconfigured to tackle different
waste streams, and with our low
maintenance pusher technology,
it has been purposefully
engineered to deliver maximum
yield and uptime,” he says.
With a resilient drive for
machine longevity, low wear parts
and integrated gears for added
maintenance simplicity, Untha
is pitching the QR as a shredder
with incredibly low whole life
running costs.
“A simple planned preventative
maintenance plan is all that is
required to preserve optimum
operational conditions,” continues
Brew. “That means less time spent
on the upkeep of the shredder, and
more time actually shredding.
“We’ve tried to think about
everything, from a simple touch
screen control panel with remote
diagnostics, to foreign object
protection for safe and easy
removal of foreign material,”
he tells Machinery Update.

Live time trials show
easier pallet stacking
For palletising boxes, Pallet+ can adjust profiles to accommodate tight
tolerances much more easily than when using robot teach pendants
Pacepacker Services will unveil its new
Pallet+ technology which, thanks to
time saving features including
off-line programming, slashes the set-up
of a new pallet stack layout from about
one hour to several minutes.
At the show, live palletising time
trials will demonstrate how to modify
a stacking recipe using Pallet+ versus
using a traditional robot teach pendant.
Thanks to graphical elements and valueentry
boxes, the Pallet+ interface can be
operated without users understanding
complex programming language, cutting
recipe programming times hugely.
“Pallet+ is especially beneficial when
handling rigid boxes where there is
very little stacking tolerance, 5mm in
some instances,” explains Pacepacker’s
technical director Richard Gladwin.
Furthermore, Pacepacker believes this
technology could signal the end
of engineer programing
visits and therefore give
packers more machine
uptime, faster turnaround
and greater production
capacity.
Compared to the previous
steps of modifying a
palletising stack format,
which could involve
multiple robot jogging and
co-ordinated recording
steps, Pallet+ users can
perform programme
changes on a control panel
local to the machine or
off-line via a separate
computer. Pacepacker can
even create new palletising
recipes and email them
to customers, or login
remotely and upload them.
Pallet+ is being installed
on all Pacepacker’s new
robot palletising systems
as standard. It can also be
retrofitted to existing robots
supplied by Pacepacker,
including case loading, from
all food and bulk sectors.
Operation requires little
or no programming
knowledge, which Gladwin
says given today’s in-house
engineering skills shortages
is proving a real benefit.
One longstanding customer is already
converting its entire robot programming
systems after trialling Pallet+.
PACK VERSATILITY AND VARIETY
Billed as ideal for manufacturers and
contract packers reliant on machine uptime
to meet contract delivery schedules,
Pallet+ enables factories to rapidly adjust
to changing product formats, shapes and
pack sizes, creating fast yet stable delivery
pallets. It virtually eliminates any need
for operatives to touch the robot pendant
and cuts out all the time-consuming
programming steps.
At the show, Pallet+ will appear on
a fully automated case erection, loading,
closing and palletising line up, which
forms the centrepiece of the company’s
PPMA 2017 display.

New print head is a value added
but affordable verification option
With heightened
safety standards for
manufacturers and
the need for effective batch
control, ClearView Imaging
will be launching the new
CheckMate Print Head which
is billed as a more accurate
and affordable in-line batch
verification print and vision
solution.
The high-performance
vision solution brings new
security to the verification of
continuous inkjet (cij) product
and batch information on a
huge variety of packaging
formats, designs, colours
and substrates allowing for
controlled batch recalls.
“Global recalls have
devastating cost and brand
image implications for
manufacturers and retailers
alike,” explains ClearView
Imaging managing director
Allan Anderson. “Yet the
market faces continuous
pressure on margins and,
as a result, has difficulty
financially justifying costly
in-line batch-verification
systems,” he says.
The CheckMate Print Head
unit is based on industrial
grade, IP67 smart camera
technology and proven,
patented algorithms built
around dot matrix printing.
It is able to verify legibility
CheckMate Print Head can deliver more effective in-line batch verification
rather than simply comparing
cij codes. The patented system
does not use image preprocessing,
a procedure that is
extremely intolerant of minor
deviations in character and
string separation; and even
more intolerant of incomplete
character prints.
Pre-processing also
introduces its own issues
due to the way it dilates the
printed dots in order to create
complete strokes and strings
for recognition purposes.
Instead, ClearView
Imaging’s technique offers
greater readability of the
codes, says Anderson.
Its patented algorithm
is capable of discerning
individual characters – even
partially printed ones – with
far more accuracy, resulting
in higher quality levels,
improved confidence in the
printed information, low
spurious faults (prints rejected
by the system but are still
legible to the human eye)
and greater peace of mind
for those who rely on lot code
identification should a product
recall ever become necessary.
“The system is the
only in-line print and
verification solution
(comprising the CheckMate
Print Head and a Linx 10
CIJ printer) for £10,000,
including installation and
commissioning,” continues
Anderson. “This makes it
affordable to manufacturers
with already tight margins.”
The CheckMate Print Head
will also work with any cij
printer, making it a viable
retrofit option.
Value engineered to focus
on this application and
designed to mimic the set-up
of the cij printing system,
Anderson believes this simpleto-use
system satisfies the
growing pressure throughout
the industry for reliable but
cost effective solutions to
more effectively verify batch
information printed in-line.

Vertical elevation range handles
variety of bulk materials securely
LineView Solutions has been developing and installing factory information
systems for more than 15 years. Despite the trend towards smart factories
and Industry 4.0, there are still many plants that are not networked and
many lines that do not have the level of automation required for overall
site visibility. This lack of automation has brought about the need for a
wireless, battery-powered system.
The solution?
RapidView: a technology-based
portable system for instant
performance data gathering and
visualisation.
Developed with a world leading
bottler, RapidView has been
tested and rolled out globally,
and targets a five percent
improvement in performance
on underperforming production
lines.
Simple, scalable and mobile,
it analyses production line
performance in real-time,
helping production teams to
partner with global operations
teams to make production sites
more efficient.
RapidView provides an
extremely portable selfcontained
system that allows
operational excellence
consultants to perform on-site
auditing efficiently, advising on
improvements almost instantly
based on real-time automated
accurate data capture.
How does it work?
Each RapidView system is
wirelessly connected to
production line sensors that
allows the central controller to
receive instant performance
data, helping to discover
any issues and highlight
improvements.
The hardware is both rugged
and IP rated for installation in
harsh production environments.
It comes with battery-powered
wireless sensing stations that
allow users to leave the sensors
in place for up to 48 hours to
assess the production line and
to gain the relevant data.
When a production line is ‘out
of balance’, RapidView helps in
two ways;
• It provides live data against
key metrics so that instant
adjustments can be made.
• It sends trending reports and
data to global management
for strategic decision making.
By using this kind of auditing
technology to manage line
performance issues remotely,
staff can spend less time

New four-arm Delta robot is
a first in punnet loading line
Brillopak has chosen
the PPMA Show 2017
as the setting for the
UK premiere of its new fresh
produce punnet loading
line. Called Meteor, it is the
first food packing end of line
system in the UK to integrate
Omron’s new four-arm Delta
robot which will also be
demonstrated at the show
(see page 64 in this preview).
Brillopak specialises in
developing bespoke end of
line packing machines to
load fresh produce packs into
retailer crates. Unlike most
traditional robotic loading
systems which pick and place
punnets in layers, Meteor
loads individual punnets into
retail crates at speeds of up
to 150 punnets a minute and,
it is claimed, with a new
degree of dexterity that no
layer-based robot handling
system can achieve.
A leading UK fresh
produce retailer approached
the company as it wanted
to eliminate packing
interruptions: “Lines that
handle fresh produce
Labour intensive manual case loading will be a thing of the past with Meteor
such as fruits, vegetables or
meats, are usually highly
automated,” says Brillopak
director David Jahn.
“As they continue to become
faster and more efficient, the
higher throughput places
a strain on the end of line
packing function.
“Traditionally, this process
is achieved by accumulating
the packs and picking and
placing products into crates
in layers, but if one punnet
is dropped or falls off the line,
the interruption can cause
severe periods of downtime
and waste,” he says.
“Speed and dexterity is
critical if our British retailers
and packers are to automate
their end of line packing
processes,” he continues.
“Flawless loading with
minimal line interruptions
can only be achieved with a
single product pick – it’s the
safest way to load a wide range
of retail crates accurately and
why we developed Meteor.”
The Meteor system picks
and places individual
packs at a top speed of 150
punnets a minute. As well as
incorporating the fastest Delta
robot in the world, Omron’s
Quattro has a four-arm axis
design allowing it to reach
30% further than similar sized
robots and also to tilt the load,
making it much more flexible.
These features make it ideal
for placing packs in tight
spaces, such as punnet crates.
Jahn believes the PPMA
Show always attracts
ambitious UK food
manufacturers looking for
progressive automation and
that it is the perfect stage to
hold the UK premiere of the
Meteor and unveil a new

With a pick rate of
300 per minute,
Omron will debut
what it says is the world’s
fastest and most flexible Delta
pick and place robot.
The only Delta on the
market with four arms, the
Omron Quattro also offers a
larger working envelope and
a degree of manipulation
not achievable elsewhere.
Furthermore, the Quattro
is also the only Delta robot
which is USDA certified and
constructed with materials
that are safe for primary food
handling. This makes it more
hygienically-advanced than
existing robots on the market.
Key to the advanced
performance of the Quattro
Delta robot is a patented, four
arm rotational platform, which
offers significant advantages
over traditional three arm
Delta robots. The fourth arm
allows the robot to reach up
to 30% further than traditional
designs, facilitating a larger
operational area, including
the ability to access wider
conveyors.
GAME CHANGING OFFER
The extra arm also allows
the robot to tilt, meaning
the load can be placed at
a different angle than it is
picked – billed as a real game
changer for packaging and
other automation applications.
The powerful combination
of speed, manipulation,
reach and a 15kg payload will
ensure the Omron Quattro
Delta is ideal for any general
automation application.
“PPMA members go out of
their way to exhibit the latest
cutting-edge technology to
attract UK brand owners from
the food, pharma and fmcg
industries,” says Dan Rossek,
Omron’s marketing manager.
“This year, Omron will debut
the only 4 arm Delta robot
in the world which is also
the fastest Delta robot on
the market.
“It’s a feat of engineering
for all to see,” he concludes.
Complementing the Quattro
Delta will be a preview of
Omron’s futuristic OKAO
software. The demonstration
will show powerful gesture
control over the production
process, as well as how facial
recognition can be used to
unlock different levels of
access to control functions

Wet-In-Place functionality will
be shown for vacuum conveyor
Piab will introduce the
new Wet-In-Place (WIP)
option for its premium
vacuum conveyor range.
Ensuring a safer working
environment in food and
pharmaceutical processing
plants, WIP functionality can
be added to the company’s
new piFLOWp vacuum
conveyors or retrofitted to
existing units.
In operation, the water
sprayed by the WIP nozzles
wet any dust from food or
pharmaceutical materials left
in conveyors, stopping it from
escaping into the air where
it can be inhaled by processing
staff during maintenance
or cleaning procedures.
By wetting potentially
harmful leftover materials
before the equipment is
opened for cleaning, the spray
nozzles ensure that any such
dust stays wet in place until
it can be safely removed.
For maximum performance
and coverage, and to make
sure as much material as
possible is captured as quickly
as possible, up to three spray
nozzles can be fitted to each
conveyor. The
configurable
design of the
piFLOWp
conveyor also
allows simple
retrofitting
of WIP units,
including
extra air filters
in existing
conveying
systems.
Piab says its
sterile Ultra
Low Penetration
Air (ULPA,
class U15-17) filters
provide greater filtration than
High Efficiency Particulate
Air (HEPA) filters, and
are offered as standard
accessories for piFLOWp.
The piFLOWp conveyor for
powder and bulk materials
is designed to match the
stringent demands for
operational safety and
hygiene found in the food and
pharmaceutical industries.
Made from materials that
comply with the US FDA and
EU 1935/2004 regulations,
Piab’s conveyors can be used
IWM Third MU S-O 2017.qxp_Machinery Update 09/08/2017 16:05 Page 1
The WIP option ensures a safer working environment in food and pharma processing plants
to safely transport large
volumes of powder/bulk
materials, and their advanced
technology guarantees
segregation-free conveying.
MAXIMISE STAFF SAFETY
Maximising the safety of the
processing staff, piFLOWp is
available in ATEX dust and
gas approved designs, in
which all plastic or rubber
parts, including filters and
seals, are made of antistatic
nitrile butadiene rubber.
Regardless of the application,
the vacuum conveyors are
designed to meet the demands
of the global food and
pharmaceutical industries.
Offering low noise and
contained conveying, ATEX
certification, compliance
with FDA and EU regulations,
as well as fulfilling current
Good Manufacturing Practice,
the conveyors ensure a safe
working environment and
problem-free, productive
operation, says the company.

Automation solutions deliver
tangible benefits for everyone
Mitsubishi Electric
will demonstrate
easy integration for
new packaging machinery
automation solutions at
the show.
With the aid of a Proseal
GT0 automatic inline tray
sealing system on its stand,
the company is demonstrating
how the most advanced
high speed heat sealing
technology and robots are
becoming far easier to deploy.
The advanced functionality,
simple integration and ease of
programming of its automation
technologies are delivering
tangible benefits – both for
machine builders looking to
gain a competitive edge and for
end users looking to increase
productivity and flexibility.
TRAY SEALER DESIGN
The Proseal GT0 tray sealing
machine was designed to
increase line speeds, cut
labour costs and produce
over 45 packs per
minute. The
machine meets
requirements
for rapid tool
changes, simple
operation and ease
of integration with
other production
line equipment.
The high accuracy
tool alignment system
ensures consistently
accurate sealing and film
cutting, while a servo-driven
‘setting-free’ automatic tray
collation infeed delivers
increased performance.
A pendant mounted colour
touch screen HMI provides
control for full double-sided
operation, with menu-driven
control offering step-by-step
prompts, error and status
displays and a useful batch
counter function, as well as
providing recipe-driven auto
machine set-up for tool change.
All of these benefits are
delivered by Mitsubishi
automation equipment,
including GOT series HMI
for operator interaction,
variable speed drives and
servos for the demanding
motion control requirements,
control gear and an iQ-platform
PLC for overall machine
control. “Adoption of a single,
coherent automation platform
ensures higher machine OEE
(with faster throughput, faster
product changeovers and less
scrap), along with reduced
total cost of ownership,” says
Garry Lewis, marketing &
communications manager at
Mitsubishi Electric.
The live Proseal machine
demonstration on the stand
includes a Melfa articulated
arm robot that is picking and
placing trays to and from the
GT0 tray sealer.
As well as enabling
packaging sector machine
The GT0 traysealer from Proseal
builders to deliver operational
benefits to their customers,
the Mitsubishi automation
solution also offers advantages
for the machine builders
The new Smart Carriage allows multiple operations on different products
themselves. Adoption of a
single automation platform
ensures ease of integration
for the various components,
while the iQ Works
engineering environment
removes a significant burden
from the machine builder or
integrator.
iQ Works offers full
integration of PLC, variable
speed drive, motion and
robot programming
environments
including function
blocks, a common tag
database and
simulation
as well as
monitoring
across all
these control
disciplines.
All of this means
machine builders can
reduce development time,
drive up reusability,
reduce debugging time
and simplify training.
Having simplified
design, Mitsubishi is also
demonstrating simplified line
integration, particularly in a
multi-vendor environment,
by implementing the OMAC
PackML standard. The result
for end users is faster upgrades
and machine implementation in
addition to the ability to collect
OEE data in a uniform way from
multiple machines and lines,
highlighting key performance
indicators such as performance,
quality and availability data
across the whole facility.
ASSEMBLY CONVEYOR
Visitors to the stand will also
have their first opportunity
in the UK to see the latest
developments in the company’s
Smart Carriage technology,
which has been developed in
conjunction with the linear
transfer system designed by
e-F@ctory Alliance partner
APT Automation.
The Smart Carriage
addresses industry
challenges such as improved
productivity, increased OEE
and greater production line
flexibility, with features and
functions that make it the
most advanced packaging and
assembly conveyor. Features
include on-board intelligence,
real-time synchronisation
with other processes, assured
safety and the ability to switch
between vertical as well as
horizontal tracks.

Evaluating the digital twin
before the machine design is fixed
gives a sense of depth and scale
that cannot be achieved with a

speeded, safety can be enhanced
through virtual simulation, and
software such as the Lenze FAST
modules can be fine-tuned for
optimum performance.

Labour saving design extended
on high speed bagging machines
Heuft MU S-O 2017 artwork.qxp_MU 26/07/2017 13:50 Page 1
Two of the first machines
in a new range of high
output baggers are
being introduced on the UK
market at this year’s PPMA
Show by Italian manufacturer
PFM. Both are based on a
special labour saving design,
pioneered by PFM to give
automatic film alignment
and tracking on its R700
intermittent motion machine.
The RC600 continuous
motion version and the
RD550 twin tube machine
are typically able to produce
stand-up bags, including the
PFM Steelo four-side-seal
design, at speeds of up to
80 a minute.
“The new R-Series machines
represent a milestone in bagger
operation,” says PFM sales
and operations director Chris
Bolton. “By automating film
reel set-up, one of the most
difficult and time-consuming
tasks for operators has been
eliminated.
See us at the
PPMA Show
Stand D104
FASTER CHANGEOVER
“It cuts changeover time
substantially and virtually
eliminates film often wasted
as operators get film edges
into alignment, particularly
important for stand-up
four-side-seal bags which
are becoming increasingly
popular,” he says.
In addition, PFM is showing
the latest version of its entrylevel
Pearl servo driven flow
wrapper, for smaller or start-up
operations in the food and
bakery industry, examples of
multi-head weighers and also
the Scirocco high speed MAP
flow wrapper.
This is equipped with
extended dwell time sealing
jaws for hermetic sealing
in modified atmosphere

Space-saving solution brings
benefits to smaller companies
Schubert UK will
demonstrate its compact
TLM technology with
a machine engineered for
Van Wijngaarden, the Dutch
delicacy manufacturer, which
packs mayonnaise cups into
cardboard boxes.
“Small and midsized
companies can use this spacesaving
solution to integrate all
of their final packaging tasks
for a variety of products and
formats into their processes,”
says Mark Jocelyn, sales
director at Schubert UK.
This machine consists of
three TLM sub-machines that
efficiently combine flexibility,
performance and efficiency.
The respective modules take
over the erecting, filling and
closing of the cartons and
are seamlessly linked via the
Transmodul transport robot.
Dutch delicatessen
manufacturer Van
Wijngaarden will be using
the machine presented at
the exhibition for packaging
mayonnaise in different
container formats as the
technology offers high
Atwell Peanuts flexibility Ad - MU to S-O achieve 2017this.
On show: carton erecting, filling and closing are all combined in three modules
Changeovers are via
automatically adjustable robot
tools while format conversion
is carried out via servomotors
and is conveniently
programmed by the VMS
packaging machine control
system. The integrated,
automatic tool changing
ensures changeover times
of between 10 to 15 minutes.
Further space savings
are realised thanks to the
integration of ink jet printers
for applying barcodes, logos
and text within the TLM line.
Schubert says the concept
of a packaging machine
without an electrical cabinet
guarantees a small footprint
combined with low energy
costs, too.
In operation, flat cardboard
blanks are removed from
the magazine and erected
(the carton cover is already
integrated into the blank).
The machine also has an
additional magazine with an
F3 robot to close cartons with
a separate cover in the case
of a format change.
The machine on show
achieves a performance of up
to 150 products per minute,
and when installed at the
customer, it will pack up to
15 packaging formats and
13 different products.
These include mayonnaise in
jars, PET cups or PET ‘squeeze’
dosing bottles in packaging
sizes ranging between 250ml
and 1 litre.
Visitors to the stand
will be able to see how the
TLM machine packs 450ml
mayonnaise cups in cartons
using the counterflow system.
This system, developed
by Schubert, ensures that
sufficient empty Transmoduls
are available to deposit
products. At the same time,
there are always sufficient
products at product intake
to complete the product
groupings on the Transmodul.
This results in only fully
filled Transmoduls moving
out of the pre-grouping area
for tray loading.

Bringing imagination
to reality with sensors
Sensors & Instrumentation
will take place in Hall 1 at
the NEC Birmingham on
the 26 and 27 September 2017
– the first and second days
of the PPMA Show which is
taking place in Hall 5.
Organiser of the UK’s
only national sensors event
Datateam Business Media
predicts that the larger venue
and introduction of fresh,
interactive elements to bring
technologies to life will
contribute to this year’s show
being the biggest and best
exhibition to date.
This idea is reflected by
headline sponsor Mouser
Electronics, a leading
authorised distributor of
semiconductors and electrical
components for over 600
manufacturers. “Mouser’s role
is to make new technologies
available for designers to base
their latest projects on,” says
vice president of marketing
in Europe, the Middle East
and Africa, Graham Maggs.
“That’s why we believe that a
focused event such as Sensors
& Instrumentation – with
a full seminar programme
and lively exhibition floor –
is needed by a wide variety
of industries, and we are
pleased to be involved.”
To celebrate the show’s
new location in Hall 1
– conveniently located at
the NEC’s main entrance –
doors will be opening at the
earlier time of 9am and the
first 200 visitors before 10am
on each day will be treated
to a free early bird breakfast,
sponsored by Keller.
Also, Sensors &
Instrumentation 2017 marks
the debut of two brand new
feature areas; Connecting
Industry LIVE and also the
Drone Zone.
Connecting Industry LIVE
will forge a
link between
visitors and
technology
innovators,
encouraging
discussions
on how to
improve
operational
efficiency,
productivity
and
profitability.
At the heart of the event will
be the Live Demo Stage,
where exhibitors will carry
out technical demonstrations
to help with end users’
The theme for this year’s event is ‘connectivity’, says organiser Datateam
The Drone Zone is new to the show
understanding of the products
and their applications.
Sensors & Instrumentation
will take visitors to new
heights in the Drone Zone
feature area. Presentations
from key individuals and
organisations, selected for
their expertise in drone
technology and industrial
applications, will explore the
benefits of unmanned aerial
vehicles within industry and
the obstacles that may be
faced during implementation.
Visitors will
also be able
to watch
technical flight
demonstrations
and have the
chance to put
themselves
in the pilot’s
seat through a
virtual reality
headset.
Returning
for this year’s
exhibition is the Innovation
Showcase sponsored by
Bronkhorst, providing a
snapshot of the range of
developments on show at the
exhibition, the PR Electronics
Formula 1 car simulator
and Micro Nano Mems, a
specialised pavilion covering
the full spectrum of small
and ultra-precision process
technologies.
With over 80 exhibitors
already confirmed, visitors
will be able to see the latest
products, technology and
solutions in test, measurement
and control all under one roof.

Be inspired
to learn with
new seminars
The ever-popular CPD accredited
seminar programme returns
for this year’s show and is
shaping up to be one of the most
successful to date, with a range of
contemporary topics and issues
being discussed by prominent
industry experts including:
Emerson, GAMBICA, IST AG,
National Instruments,
National Physical Laboratory,
Sensor City, TechniMeasure and
Thingstream.
Sebastian Amos, head of
process, instrumentation &
control at GAMBICA, will follow
the impact of instrumentation
in the first three industrial
revolutions and examine how
the instrumentation industry
is engaging in a world of digital
data and forensic analytics to
meet the challenges presented
as we enter the ‘fourth industrial
revolution’.
INTERNET OF THINGS
Neil Hamilton, vice president
of business development at
Thingstream, will delve into the
hot topic of the moment; the
Internet of Things (IoT).
With the increasing prominence
of IoT solutions in business,
Hamilton will explore the
importance of sensors to this
$25bn industry with a view to
give kudos and margin to sensor
manufacturers who often place
themselves on the edge of the
ecosystem when they should,
he will argue, be the driving force.
Event director Kathryn
Ambrose believes that the
exemplary line-up of exhibitors
along with the vibrant feature
areas and seminar programme
at this year’s show offers even
more value to visitors’ experience.
“The theme of Sensors
& Instrumentation 2017 is
‘connectivity’ and for anyone
seriously interested in sensor
technology and instrumentation,
this year’s exhibition is
unmissable,” she says.

Slimline case erector is nearly
half the width of other models
Endoline Machinery will
launch a new slimline
case erector which is
almost half the width of
current case erecting systems
and, the company believes,
is the narrowest available
on the market.
Although initially designed
to work with grading, packing
and processing machines
within the egg industry,
where Endoline has seen
sales boom for their kit, this
compact 251 case erector
is suitable for any food
manufacturer where space is
at a premium.
The 251 case erector is

Endoline has had success with eggs
of machinery
manufacturer
Moba.
“For many years
our case erectors
have worked
well alongside
egg packing
equipment,”
explains Andrew
Yates, sales
director for
Endoline Machinery.
“However, with
34 million eggs
consumed in the
UK each day, the
egg industry is
booming and, to
fully capitalise on
this, we recognised
the need to create
a universally
recognised system
which would meet
egg packing machinery
specifications exactly.”
Integral to the design
are technical components
engineered to connect directly
with Moba equipment and

while enabling them to
become more efficient.
With an approximate
40% width reduction
on Endoline’s standard
case erectors, the
251 machine measures
just 1 metre wide by
2 metres long. With the
ability to handle any of
the required case size
ranges, at a speed of up
to 10 cases per minute,
the machine has been
fitted with Endoline’s
dual opposing vacuum
system to ensure heavy
cases are opened
positively from both
sides. This feature
eliminates tearing or
issues associated
with glue migration on

Aat this year’s PPMA Show,

systems that usually function
separately in conventional
robots. The cobot is the
only collaborative robot
to incorporate simple
programming, a fully
integrated vision system and

the latest safety standards
in a single unit, says HMK.
With capabilities including
direction identification, selfcalibration
of coordinates and
visual task operation enabled
by built-in vision, the TM5 can
fine-tune in accordance with
actual conditions at any time.
This allows complex
processes to be accomplished
that used to demand the
integration of various different
types of equipment.
In operation, it requires
less manpower and time
to recalibrate when objects
or coordinates move and
thus significantly improves
flexibility as well as reducing
maintenance costs.
Programming could not be
easier, says HMK.

and easy incorporation of
operations such as palletising,
de-palletising and conveyor
tracking.
The TM5 is the only cobot
to feature a full colour vision
package as standard. It is
mounted on the wrist of the
robot, which in turn, is fully
supported within TM-Flow.
The result allows users to
easily integrate the robot
to the application, without
complex tooling and the need
for expensive add-on vision
hardware and programming.
The recently CE marked
TM5 now incorporates the
new ISO/TS 15066 guidelines
on safety for collaborative
robots systems, which covers
four types of collaborative
operation:
• safety-rated monitored stop
• hand guiding
• speed and separation
monitoring, and
• power and force limiting

also allow the cobot to be
integrated to wider safety
systems.

the latest patented
technology in high speed
tray sealing and a brand
new approach to pot filling
and sealing.
On display will be the
flexible, fully electric SL4
motion tray sealer which
is just one machine in the
company’s portfolio that
incorporates patented motion
control technology.
Other products boasting
the same technology include
the Revolution and Revolution
XL machines.
The development of this
‘motion’ technology means
trays can be sealed at a
higher cycle rate. Cycle
speeds of up to 22 cycles per
minute can be achieved in
a single lane format which
meets the needs of customers
PA says the use of tray sealing for fresh produce has increased a lot this year
in the fresh produce market.
The increase in speed is due
to the interpolating nature of
the transfer arms working in
conjunction with the in-feed
and stepping conveyor which
allows for a continuous feed
into the seal cycle.
A newly designed machine
in the pot filling and sealing
range will be launched at the
show. Reacting to the market’s
need to be able to launch
products to retail quicker,
the special design and
manufacturing techniques
used for this machine means
that lead times are improved
by up to 40%. The machine
comes with the option to
run up to 3 lanes dependant
on pack size meaning that
customers can triple their
throughputs for a similar

The ‘circular economy’ concept is challenging organisations to
re-think how their resources are managed for social good…
W
hen the world’s largest
food and drinks brand
puts out its first ever
advert made out of 100%
recyclable packaging
which is designed to encourage recycling,
you know that environmental issues are
taking centre stage.
Indeed, this sustainability focused ad
came in the same month as Coca-Cola
European Partners (CCEP) set out its
plans to double the recycled plastic in
all of its bottles to 50% by 2020 as part of
its GB sustainable packaging strategy.
To achieve this target CCEP will continue
its long term partnership with Clean Tech,
which operates Europe’s largest and most
advanced plastic bottle reprocessing
facility, supporting the circular economy
in Great Britain and allowing recycled
bottles to return to shops as part of new
packs in as little as six weeks.
And you also know that an issue is
permeating business when a new standard
is devised. This happened earlier this
summer when the business standards
company BSI launched a new standard
for the ‘circular economy’ called
BS 8001: 2017: Framework for implementing
the principles of the circular economy in
organisations – guide.
The circular economy is a concept
which challenges organisations to
re-think how their resources are managed
to create financial, environmental and
social benefits. BS 8001 was developed
to meet these mutually beneficial goals,
by providing guiding principles
for organisations to consider and
implement more sustainable practices.
RESTORATIVE AND REGENERATIVE
One of the key aims of the circular
economy is to keep products, components
and materials at their highest utility and
value at all times, in keeping with the
mantra of the circular economy as being
restorative and regenerative by design.
BS 8001 outlines what the circular
economy is and how an organisation can
transition from a linear to a circular, and
more sustainable, day-to-day operation.
Practical implementation of the six
principles of the circular economy –
innovation; stewardship; collaboration;
value optimisations; transparency and
‘systems thinking’ – is the bedrock
of the standard, and step-by-step
guidance on how an organisation can
navigate through the different stages of
implementation is provided.
Systems thinking is defined in the
standard as an understanding of how
organisations, individual decisions
and activities interact within the wider
systems they are part of.
BSI believes the move to a circular
economy is a significant opportunity for
businesses as by contributing to a resource
efficient and low-carbon economy, costs
and supply chain risks are reduced.
Further benefits for businesses which
choose to implement BS 8001 include
improved resilience, new revenue streams,
and enhanced corporate sustainability
credentials. “Resource productivity is
at the heart of the government’s new
Industrial Strategy and demonstrates
how standards can be considered
business improvement tools which help
organisations to take practical actions to
realise the economic and social benefits
of the circular economy,” says David
Fatscher, head of sustainability at BSI.

that are taken at the start of the
sustainability journey, but each one of
these accrues to make a legitimate impact.

Robatech offers
products that are
energy-optimised
Sustainability is one
of the most important
management aspects
at Robatech and
for this reason, we
always work on optimising our
products,” says sales director of
Robatech UK Gary Roberts.
“The development of the GreenLine
concept focuses on the reduction of
energy and adhesive consumption,
safety, cost efficiency, and a
resource-saving adhesive process.”
Robatech’s systematic focus on
sustainably optimised products
and solutions resulted in the
development of the GreenLine
concept. This involved all device
components from application
head to hose to the melter to be
investigated with respect to their
energy consumption and heat loss.
The result was a complete analysis
of how to achieve significant
energy savings.
In practice, optimisation
as well as new and further
developments in terms of ecology
and sustainability were introduced
and realised in a step-by-step
manner. And this has resulted
in GreenLine being proven and
established as the standard for all
new and further developments at
the company.
Within the scope of the
GreenLine concept, the complete
adhesive system was equipped
with specially developed
CoolTouch insulation. In operation,
this heat-resistant insulation helps
to deliver resource-saving and
sustainable production, as the
energy consumption is drastically
reduced. The melting tank and
pump on the Concept GreenLine
series demands 17.4% less energy
while the application heads on the
Diamond series saves 60% over
previous models.
And the energy required by the
heated hoses on the Diamond series
is also down, by 6% in practice.
Also, this patented insulation

the risk of burns for the operator
and also protecting the products
on the line that are to be glued.
The high environmental
standards are additionally
supported by the continuously
reduced adhesive consumption,
says Robatech. “The quality and
thus high service life of the products
and solutions is a decisive factor for
a sustainable production process,”
says Roberts. Using GreenLine
optimised Robatech systems,
customers achieve energy savings
of 30% as well as a reduction in
adhesive consumption of up to 50%
– depending on their application
and system configuration.
Less consumption and
long service life contributes
to the sustainable attributes
The manufacturing process
for the adhesive systems also
focuses on a resource-saving
and energy-optimised process.
Energy generated by the in-house
photovoltaic plant is used for
production, for instance.
Robatch believes the use of solar
power and ongoing innovations
in the area of sustainability
consistently improve the life
cycle assessment of Robatech
products for its customers.
“This means we can make
an important contribution
towards an environmentally
friendly production process,”
says Roberts.
“We believe our GreenLine

Sustaining an
‘invented for life’
philosophy
Matthias Klauser is responsible for sustainable packaging solutions
at Bosch Packaging Technology and here, he talks about how the
company is taking a comprehensive approach across the value chain
I
n line with the Bosch brand’s claim
to develop technology ‘Invented for
life’, at Bosch Packaging Technology
we strive to help conserve natural
resources by shaping the packaging
industry and introducing sustainable
packaging solutions. In order to be
successful, we take a comprehensive
approach to sustainability along the
entire value chain, from developing
and testing new recyclable pack styles
to implementing economic and energy
efficient machinery in production.
Nevertheless, sustainable packaging
is a rather challenging and complex topic,
requiring manifold expertise. This is
why Bosch Packaging Technology draws
on a network of reliable partnerships,
including our
membership in the
CEFLEX Initiative.
This is a European
consortium of
The new FSC-certified mono-material paper
companies representing the entire value
chain of flexible packaging.
This feature presents the latest
examples and best practices that
contribute to building a more sustainable
future for the packaging business.
In 2016, Bosch launched the world’s
first sealed paper packaging which was
developed in partnership with Swedish
paper specialist BillerudKorsnäs. This
development is in line with a circular
economy approach, promoting recycling
as well as the use of renewable materials
in primary packaging. Instead of using
a polymer film, the solution enables
production of dust-tight packaging for
dry products such as sugar, grains,
flour or powders, using FSC-certified
mono-material paper.
This BillerudKorsnäs produced paper
is more durable than conventional
paper, while retaining its natural paper
characteristics and advantages from
source to recycling. The material’s
sustainable credentials increase its
appeal to eco-conscious consumers
as well as strengthening its overall
perception as an eco-friendly product.
The paper’s combination of strength,
flexibility and stiffness fits perfectly with
Bosch’s form, fill and seal technology and
allows for coating with a sealing agent on
a minimal surface area. The packaging
retains its mono-material characteristics
due to the low levels of sealing agent
required. As a result, retailers and
consumers profit from clean shelves,
high product protection and improved
product quality.
Decreasing resource consumption
through the constant development
of machinery is true for every market
today. Nevertheless, every improvement
that leads to a reduction in energy and
material consumption or product waste
is an important step in the direction of
a sustainable future.
LATEST ENERGY MONITORING
One of the latest energy consumption
solutions includes the Energy Monitoring
platform, an Industry 4.0 software
solution. It combines both a detailed
analysis of the different parameters
(for example, compressed air or electricity
usage) and a visualisation of the results.
This way, fluctuations, peaks and
irregularities, as well as potential energy
and cost savings can be identified.
Moreover, defects are easier to
localise - for example if a machine uses
more compressed air due to a leakage.
This, in turn, reduces time-consuming
troubleshooting, avoids unnecessary
energy costs and increases both machine
utilisation and performance.

Chairman of the managing board of Robert Bosch Packaging Technology Stefan König said that sustainability is a core component of Bosch’s
corporate culture. This is why the company is expanding its portfolio of sustainable packaging solutions to meet end user demands
To demonstrate how energy
consumption can be reduced in
confectionery processing, at interpack
in May, Bosch showed its upgraded
Rapidsolver BLK 2500 BR machine for
dissolving jelly masses. This machine
featured a patent-pending heat recovery
system used to preheat the mass, which
offers up to 50% less energy consumption
and reduced total cost of ownership
(TCO) in comparison to previous solutions.
In addition, energy-saving dissolving
is achieved through the optimised design
of the machine, allowing steam pressure
to be reduced by 0.3 bar to further relieve
thermal stress on the product and
preserving quality and taste.
Energy recovery concepts are also
important to not only ensure lower
operating costs, but also protect
environmental resources. To create more
sustainable pharmaceutical production,
Bosch has tackled energy-intensive
processes such as the cleaning or
sterilisation of glass containers.
For instance, the latest distillation
units from Bosch reduce heating steam
consumption by up to 30% compared to
the previous generation by reusing the
clean steam from the preceding column.
Moreover, single-use filling systems
contribute to energy efficiency by
avoiding time-consuming and energyintensive
cleaning processes, which
eventually reduce the consumption of
ultra-pure media. To lower the overall
energy consumption of cleanrooms,
as little outside air as possible needs to
be processed, therefore, Bosch holds
isolator systems that process air from the
surrounding room, whereby the isolator
can consume up to 65 % less energy
than RABS (Restricted Access Barrier
Systems), depending on the input and
output of the air.
With food waste reaching an alarming
1.3 billion tons annually, packaging
manufacturers are looking for more
sustainable processes which is why
at Bosch, we continuously inform our
customers about the crucial role sealing
plays for product safety and quality.
With the right application, sealing has
the potential to improve shelf presentation
and usability, as well as limit food waste
trapped in the seal.
In operational terms, sealing is often
the bottleneck, negatively affecting
New machinery is
helping to decrease
resource consumption
and meet eco needs
efficiency and speed. Bosch offers a large
variety of sealing technologies, including
PE, cold, heat and ultrasonic sealing.
Product waste is not just an issue
during production, but throughout the
whole manufacturing supply chain.
With technology optimisation, this
can be greatly reduced at each stage.
An example of technology helping to
prevent food waste is the WRF 600 Flex
slab former, with a flexible working width
that allows for easy, step-less and toolfree
adjustments for the precise cutting of
multilayer bar products in different sizes.
As a result, less product mass is wasted.
To accommodate slabs of different
widths, operators simply make a
manual adjustment to the machine
during production which completely
eliminates downtime. Removing the
need for machine stoppages also reduces
waste, maximising product usage and
enhancing productivity.
At interpack, chairman of the
managing board of Robert Bosch
Packaging Technology Stefan König said
that sustainability is a core component
of Bosch’s corporate culture which is why
it is expanding its portfolio of sustainable
packaging solutions. “We want to provide
technical answers to environmental
questions,” he told Machinery Update.

Labelling, Coding & Marking
Feeder/overprinter meets
new rules and sales need
The RF2 standalone
friction feed overprinting
system fitted with
iJet coding from Rotech is
enabling e-cigarette company
Shoreditch to meet new
labelling rules without having
to make changes to the rest
of its production line.
It is also helping Shoreditch
to protect its branding and
minimise the number of
unique carton designs it
needs to deploy across its
range of vaping products.
Following the 19 May 2017
deadline, all vaping liquids
and cartridges for sale in the
UK must comply with the
Tobacco and Related Products
Regulations (TRPR) 2016.
This includes displaying a
health warning about nicotine
over at least 30% of the two
largest surfaces of the unit
packaging.
“We’re a brand-led business
and we didn’t want to use
the real estate of the bottle
for the health warning since
it wouldn’t leave much room
for anything else,” explains
Andy Kirby, director of
Shoreditch. “We therefore
decided to insert the bottles
into individual unit packs so
they can have the warning
and all the other information
on there.”
The other challenge for
Shoreditch is the huge number
of products in its range.
Its line-up includes 15 flavours
and more than 100 SKUs.
It also sells via high street
stores, adding to coding
requirements, such as the
need for EAN barcodes.
“The offline Rotech system
means we can have 15 packs
for the 15 flavours, while
other information like the
barcode, batch code and best
before date can all be coded
separately using thermal inkjet
technology,” says Kirby. “We
don’t need to print 101 different
versions of the underlying
packaging, which would be
prohibitively expensive.”
The RF2 fitted with an iJet
coder is a standalone coding
station that takes flat cartons
from a stack, feeds them to
a thermal inkjet printer and

finished packs.

Fast coding
on difficult
materials
The challenge of achieving the
highest quality codes on ultrafast
packing lines with difficultto-mark
substrates is being met
with the launch of a new laser
marking solution from Linx
Printing Technologies.
The Linx CSL60 laser
combines a powerful processor
and 60W laser tube with Linx’s
Visicode system to produce crisp,
clear codes on difficult-to-mark
materials such as glass and PET
at high speeds. This enables
manufacturers across a plethora
of sectors to meet all compliance
requirements and provides
effective brand protection and
enhancement.
This new laser incorporates
a processor that is able to relay
messages from the control unit
to the marking head very quickly,
which ensures that line speeds
are unaffected. As a result, up to
70,000 packs per hour can be
marked, says Linx.
In addition, the Linx CSL60
supports production line
efficiencies. For example, the
availability of complete IP65
protection for the controller
and laser head means that a
fully integrated system can now
remain in situ during wash down
to minimise downtime.
Equally important, the Linx
CSL60 offers 25 different head
and lens options, providing over
16,000 combinations of lens,
marking heads and tubes.
With the SHC150c head
option, the Linx CSL60 offers
a larger marking field than
any comparable laser, claims
the company. This provides
additional versatility for the
marking of wide web applications
such as flexible packaging and
outer case coding, and coding of
products across multiple lines.

Nord Gear UK says its
range of products are
perfectly poised to meet
the demands of ‘smart’ factory
manufacturing that meets the
need to make things that suit
specific, local markets rather
than mass-produced goods.
“We manufacture a range
of geared motors and drive
electronics that includes
decentralised solutions
that already embrace these
characteristics and are ready
for use on smart machine
applications,” says Andrew
Stephenson, managing
director of the company.
DECENTRALISED MOTORS
Nord SK 200 series
decentralised geared motors
include inverter drives
with PLC-based intelligent
motion and machine
controls. Versions can benefit
from embedded sensor
technologies and dedicated
evaluation algorithms that
actually predict and prolong
the service life for the specific
application.
In terms of the mechanical
system, vibration, torque
and temperature sensors can
provide real-time measured
data and local analysis
with algorithms which then
forecasts the condition of the
bearings, gearing, oil and
other critical components –
reporting condition status
through internet connectivity.
Another potentially less
expensive means to an end is
to use ‘virtual sensing’ where
predetermined data, gained
from laboratory analysis
collected over several years
of evaluation, is used without
external sensing to predict
the condition.
Clearly a combination
of the two approaches can
potentially exist for optimum
cost versus performance.
As an example of
Inverters with an on-board PLC can resolve blockages through programmed
procedures, while service alerts will be the rare exception, says Nord
If the central control system is disconnected for any reason, the inverter
PLC can keep the application running or bring it to a defined standstill
autonomous operation, the
SK 200 series decentralised
geared motors with on-board
PLC may be pre-programmed
to determine control, by
initiating a defined state
when certain conditions
are encountered. This, for
instance, could be used to clear
blockages in pumps with a
reversing procedure to keep the
application running without
downtime, or interact with the
process in other ways – or stop
the process altogether.
COSTS CAN BE AVOIDED
“In process plants, this can
help avoid costs, for instance
by preventing spoiled
batches,” says Stephenson.
“In manufacturing facilities,
however material flow can be
maintained.”
As Nord intelligent drives
feature a comprehensive
choice of communication
bus interfaces and are able to
evaluate sensor and actuator
data, optimal integration in
the application is ensured.
Autonomous control
capability obviously has
other uses beyond fall-back
scenarios, says Stephenson.
In some instances, users may
wish to deliberately switch
the smart drive over to local
control. For set-up, testing, or
maintenance, the distributed
frequency inverter can
additionally be equipped with
switches for manual drive
direction and speed control.
The integrated PLC
functions are programmed
using IEC 61131-3 ‘Structured
Text’ or ‘Instruction List’
text-based languages.
And for straightforward,
user-friendly application
development, software is
provided without any charge

New radio equipment
rules are tricky to meet
Paul Laidler Taylor
BuSinESS ManaGER diRECTOR fOR MaChinERy fOR MaChinERy SafETy SafTEy aT Tüv aT Süd Tüv PROduCT Süd PROduCT SERviCE SERviCE
The entire machinery supply chain, including manufacturers, importers and integrators of radio
equipment, now have to comply with the EU’s new Radio Equipment Directive. Here’s some help.
Even before we reach the
golden goal of Industry
4.0, machines are
increasingly incorporating
radio-based components
which rely on the radio
spectrum to operate.
These include systems for the
wireless connection of safety
devices, such as E-stops;
or in the operation of metal
detectors.
Now, the entire machinery
supply chain (manufacturers,
importers and integrators
of radio equipment) has
the European Union’s
new Radio Equipment
Directive 2014/53/EU (RED)
to deal with. As of June 13,
2017, the RED completely
replaced the old Radio and
Telecommunications Terminal
Equipment Directive (R&TTE).
Changes between the two
frameworks have a significant
bearing on how manufacturers
gain CE Marking. It is therefore
crucial to fully understand
these regulatory differences
in order to avoid time and cost
overruns.
CLEAR RESPONSIBILITY
The RED’s new requirements
are intended to clearly spell
out the responsibilities and
obligations for every economic
operator involved in the
supply chain (manufacturer,
importer, distributor,
authorised representative).
The Directive is applicable to
all electrical and electronic
devices that intentionally emit
and receive radio waves at
frequencies below 3000 GHz.
This is also the first time that
equipment operating below
9 kHz requires radio testing as
the RED scope is for products
operating below 3000 GHz,
whereas the R&TTE scope
started at 9 kHz.
For the first time, for instance,
broadcast radio and TV
receivers fall within its scope.
The following definition
explains what products are
subject to the RED:
“Radio equipment – an
electrical or electronic
product which intentionally
emits and/or receives radio
waves for the purpose of
radio communication and/
or radiodetermination, or an
electrical or electronic product
which must be completed
with an accessory (such as an
antenna) so as to intentionally
emit and/or receive radio
waves for the purpose of
radio communication and/or
radiodetermination.”
The introduction of the
RED means if machinery
manufacturers want to carry
on selling within the EU and
European Free Trade
Association countries, they
must test and if required
re-certify to the Radio
Equipment Directive, otherwise
they can no longer be placed
on the market. Consequently,
many manufacturers are
finding achieving compliance
to be a significant challenge
as they have never before been
required to undertake any of
the RF testing.
To enable full traceability,
every economic operator
within the supply chain must
identify who has supplied
them and to whom they have
supplied radio equipment.
The product must also be
accompanied by instructions,
and manufacturer’s contact
details, in a language which
can be easily understood
within the Member State in
which it is being sold.
One key change, which is
causing confusion among

bearing on gaining CE Marking
manufacturers, is that the
conformity assessment
process now requires them
to undertake a risk analysis
and assessment. Many
manufacturers are struggling
to fully understand these
changes, as there is no
explicit description of the
risk assessment process
within the RED – it is instead
referenced in the EU’s New
Legislative Framework.
While manufacturers have
experienced approvals
managers, they are not familiar
with a risk assessment
approach and may not have
the skill set to deal with this
new requirement.
Under the RED, importers
also have new responsibilities
as, when appropriate,
they must now carry out
sample testing, investigate
and maintain a register of
complaints and product
recalls, as well as keep
distributors informed of
this monitoring process.
For up to ten years after the
equipment has been placed
on the market, surveillance
authorities have a right
to request a copy of the
Declaration of Conformity,
and it is the importer’s
responsibility to ensure that
this is available.
RE-BRANDED UNITS
The RED has also changed
who is responsible for
re-branded equipment within
the supply chain. Importers
and distributors take on the
responsibilities, which were
once those of the original
manufacturer, where radio
equipment is re-badged and
supplied under their own
name or trade mark.
The RED’s wide ranging
changes are requiring some
significant adaptations to how
radio-enabled machinery is
manufactured and supplied.
It is therefore vital that
the entire supply chain
understands and complies
with their specific obligations.
The key benefit of modular
certification is the major cost
and time savings it contributes
to the operation of adaptive
self-configuring Industry 4.0
production systems.
