CHAIRMAN PPMA GROUP OF ASSOCIATIONS
(INCORPORATING PPMA, BARA AND UKIVA)
Welcome to Machinery Update, we hope you enjoy this
packed March/April issue.
I believe face to face meetings can never be replaced
and while in the past, many people have said that exhibitions
would be superseded by the internet, good events continue to
thrive. Our own PPMA Show bears testament to this fact and
will continue its success of recent years this autumn.
Indeed, this year’s show is already larger with more companies
confirmed to be at the NEC, Birmingham 25-27 September.
In this issue, exhibitions take centre stage with previews
of key industry events such as Foodex (see pages 28-35),
Drives and Controls and Mach 2018 (page 66) and also a review
of the recent Southern Manufacturing (see pages 46-47).
Vision systems are now
a key enabler for automation as
the MVC event will demonstrate
Automation remains a key driver in machinery development and
in this issue we have an in depth feature on ready meals, a sector
where automation is critical, as well as complicated. Convenience
meals typically have more production processes than other food
items and so inspection also plays a key role in factories. Robustness
is another demand of equipment used to handle, say viscous
sauces. It was the robustness of one tray sealer, for example, that
has led to a major deal for one of our PPMA members in this sector.
When family firm Mumtaz first started manufacturing
ready meals at the back of its Indian restaurant in Bradford in
the 1990s, it purchased a second-hand tray sealer to handle
its volumes. Today, and backed by a multi-million pound
investment in a new ready meals facility, this tray sealer is still
being used for smaller production quantities and NPD.
The proof was literally in the pudding when the company
made its decision about a new tray sealing line for its factory.
Machinery Update was invited to this impressive site in
February, and you will find the full report on pages 50-51.
Continuing the theme of automation, one of the largest growth
areas is its relationship with machine vision and automated
inspection. If you are looking to learn about how this exciting
technology can benefit your company, why not attend the
upcoming Machine Vision Conference (see pages 24-27). Now in
its second year after its successful launch in 2017, it takes place
on Wednesday 16 May at the MK Arena in Milton Keynes.
It’s a must attend event if you want to stay ahead.

The plastics
debate takes
centre stage
Cutting-edge applications
can deliver everyday gain
n
As the dispute about plastics
packaging rages throughout the
mainstream media, two recent
events have brought it to the fore
in the manufacturing sector.
In January, a Westminster
Forum keynote seminar was
dominated by talk about
plastics while the Packaging
Innovations exhibition at the
NEC in Birmingham in March
played host to a new feature –
The Big Plastics Debate.
Coca-Cola European Partners
(CCEP), the Co-Op, Marks &
Spencer and Iceland formed an
expert panel during the debate
and the discussion proved
so popular that it had to be
live-streamed on four of the other
exhibition stages to house the
interested audience. Innovation,
collaboration and ambition
came up as the key themes
during the discussions.
The panel agreed that more
needs to be done to battle the
use of plastics and highlighted
that litter plays a major role in
bringing the subject of packaging
to the public’s attention. They
also felt that as leading retailers,
they should be doing more to
combat the issue, using their
influence to change the way the
industry works with the material.
“Our aim is to make our
packaging as sustainable as
possible and I think it is fair to
say that all of the panel have the
same ambition,” said Nick Brown,
head of sustainability at CCEP.
The Big Plastics Debate was popular

Budgets identified as
major training barrier
Drives and controls
company Bosch Rexroth
says a limited training
budget is a major barrier to
competitiveness, directly
impacting profitability.
This follows a survey it
commissioned that highlights
the correlation between
training adoption and budget,
and the impact this is
having on the implementation
of Industry 4.0.
Called ‘Tackling the training
gap in UK manufacturing’,
the report found that 43%
of engineers identify budget
constraints as one of the
key barriers to adopting
a more rigorous training
plan. Furthermore, over half
of respondents anticipate
training budgets will stagnate
in their organisation over the
next five years.
In the UK, ‘automation’ is
an area which is dramatically
increasing, however
productivity – measured both
by output per worker and per
hour worked – is significantly
lower against the UK’s major
trading partners in Europe
Riggs MU J-F 2018.qxp_MU 05/12/2017 15:00 Page 1
‘Tackling the training gap in UK manufacturing’ is available for download
and the US. For this reason,
it is worrying to discover
that automated production
processes and modern
automation techniques were
identified in the report as
the areas where the greatest
gaps in knowledge exist,
says Richard Chamberlain,
service product manager at
Bosch Rexroth.
The study also revealed
that in as many as a quarter
of companies, less than ten
hours of training is delivered
to employees each year on
average.
“We must upskill the
workforce and empower
engineers with the skills
they need to use Industry 4.0
technologies, while offering
continuous development
opportunities to individuals
is vital,” says Chamberlain.
Study findings show in
many instances, the UK
approach to training seems
to be an activity squeezed
in around day-to-day
operational requirements
rather than being seen as
a core value-adding
function.

Engineers, food
technologists and
computer scientists
drawn from UK industry and
academia, are collaborating
to fully automate the
preparation and handling
of raw materials to therefore
reduce the associated costs.

can deal with over 200
different raw materials in
different states (solid, liquid,
frozen, ambient and chilled),
packaging formats (bag, sack,

tna unveiled the tna robag 5,
the latest generation
of its flagship series of
VFFS technology, in a world
premiere at SNAXPO 2018

Ensuring a
CIP process
is optimum
The CombiLyz conductivity meter
from Baumer is designed to
ensure the optimum interaction
of all the different physical
parameters in CIP (clean-inplace)
systems.
The exact concentration of
cleaning agents, while taking
into account flow rate, pressure,
temperature and time, defines
a reproducible process which
demands systems and components
which have the technical properties
and flexibility to support CIP safely
and cost-effectively, says Baumer.
With an accuracy of ±1% and a
measuring range of 500 µS/cm
to 1000 mS/cm, the CombiLyz
conductivity meter offers CIP
system operators the important
features and benefits for optimum
process control. It also delivers
fast and accurate temperature
compensation.
Where CIP systems require
acids or alkalis, accurate
measurement of concentration
levels is essential. When the
concentration of the acid or alkali
is increasing, the conductivity
meter controls the specified
concentration of the relevant
cleaning media. Thanks to
precise measurements, it ensures
that no more chemicals are
used than necessary helping
to minimise waste.
During the phase separation in
the CIP return flow, the CombiLyz
quickly recognises different media,
even when temperatures fluctuate
significantly which helps to reduce
the loss of stored cleaning agents.
After one cleaning cycle, the
CombiLyz accurately measures
the remaining chemicals in
the rinse water.

Changing products can
be completed at speed
The LineXpress program enables non-returnable PET bottle lines for beverages to be changed over in record times
Krones has recognised the
need for ever-speedier
product changeovers
and faster make-ready times
by developing LineXpress –
a program that enables
non-returnable PET lines for
water and carbonated soft
drinks bottles to be changed
over in record times.
This new program is not
only fast – only ten minutes
of production downtime is
required if the changeover
comprises only intermediate
rinsing and a change in closure
colour, label and packing
film. But, this automated
process also removes
all the ‘imponderables’
often associated with the
changeover process such as
human factors. Even if the
bottle format and the pack’s
formation and nature are
changed, the line can still
resume production after an
interruption of just half an
hour when using LineXpress.
When multi-format lines are
involved, benefits delivered
by the program include higher
productivity with a line of equal
size, or the same productivity
with a smaller line.
In both cases, says Krones,
the overall equipment
effectiveness (OEE) rises by
up to 20 %. This is because
LineXpress
• coordinates all steps in the
process that are needed for
the changeover
• enables essential operations
in the changeover to be fully
automated
• guides the operators reliably
and quickly through the
entire process, and
• enables process steps to
be carried out in parallel,
instead of one after another.
This smoothly coordinated
routine not only increases
productivity levels of
beverage lines, it also creates
significant gains in flexibility.
Thus, short changeover times
enable the same article to be
produced more often and also
in smaller batches without
losing out on productivity,
in order to tie up less
warehousing capacity,
for example, or even to
implement demand-responsive
just-in-time production.
LineXpress can also be
used to progress upgrades
in brand development cost
effectively, says Krones UK.
For instance, if a brand owner
has previously only used a few
bottle sizes and designs, it can
now utilise a wider choice of
packaging formats without
putting the cost-efficiency of
production lines at risk.
SPECIAL COMPONENTS
The LineXpress system
consists of individual
automation components
called the UnitXpress building
blocks. These, in conjunction
with the machine, control
the processes involved and
support the operators. These
automation components
can be specified to suit the
wishes of the customer but,
generally, the following
machines can be incorporated
into the LineXpress system:
Contiflow mixer, Contiform
stretch blowmoulder, Contiroll
labeller, Modulfill filler,
Checkmat inspector, Variopac
Pro packer, Modulpal Pro
palletiser, SynCo container
conveyor, MultiCo pack
conveyor and the PalCo pallet

Resources and costs are saved
Pallets are
stabilised
with gluing
Robatech has developed an
AntiSlip gluing solution for pallet
stabilisation which, in practice,
sees a hot melt adhesive applied
directly onto the packaging units
which can reduce the need for all
kinds of packaging materials and
also intermediate layer pads.
Pallet stabilisation with
AntiSlip gluing is combining
existing processes and methods
making it possible to drastically
reduce the need to wrap each
pallet intensively, the company
tells Machinery Update.
With the AntiSlip gluing
solution, lines or spirals of
hot melt adhesive are applied
directly onto the packaging
units, ensuring that the units
stick together reliably. Fewer
layers of packaging are therefore
required for dust protection while
stable transport and storage
is guaranteed as the adhesive
bond means units do not move
around in transit. In addition,
simple depalletising with little
waste is possible. So, says
Robatech, the solution is not only
environmentally friendly but also
cost-efficient. And the system
can simply be integrated into the
production process or retrofitted.
“Less material means less
waste and the bonding assures a
very stable pallet, which reduces
the risk of damaging any goods
when the pallet is unwrapped,
which all contributes to savings,”
says Hanspeter Huber, industry
manager packaging at Robatech.

New Machinery
Modular robot cell can help to
ease the path to full automation
New from RARUK
Automation is a
compact, mobile and
modular robot cell that can
be easily moved between
production and processing
machines to increase
productivity. It is designed
to accept a robot arm – such
as a Universal Robot; also
from RARUK Automation –
and can be systematically
expanded to give
manufacturers a growth path
to full automation.
FOUNDATION PRODUCT
ProFeeder Light is the
foundation product which
comprises a basic, standalone
unit with one manually
removable parts tray with
a capacity of up to 780 units,
depending on their size.
Ideal for use with most CNC
machines, ProFeeder Light
can handle a wide variety
of parts up to 10kg and is used
as extra ‘manpower’
for small batch production
or the first step towards
greater automation.
It can also be expanded
The system automatically sends a text alert to the operator if there is a stop
at any time to incorporate
additional functions such as
turning, deburring or cleaning.
The next in the threemodel
range is ProFeeder
which comes complete with
two movers and two parts
trays. The mover is a modular
cart which, when placed in
the robot cell, automatically
centres the parts tray. When
YPS MU M-A 2018.qxp_MU 20/02/2018 11:26 Page 1
the parts have been processed,
the first mover and tray are
replaced by the second mover
with unprocessed parts.
Interchangeable perforated
plates in the parts trays ensure
that the CNC machine can
be fed with all part types
and these can be replaced
with thin plate feeding for
operations such as edge
bending or even a custom
feeding solution.
The third option is ProFeeder
Multi that introduces a lift
module that automatically
presents trays to the machine
for parts to be processed;
its capacity is eight trays.
This solution makes it possible
to run a fully automated
four-shift operation or even
lights out production.
Manual input is limited to
machine supervision,
pre-filling the parts trays
and replacing the mover at
the end of the fourth shift.
All ProFeeder systems can
be quickly moved to a new
station with a pallet truck.
Set-up is easy and quick as it
only requires connection to
electricity and compressed
air. The system’s compact
design allows it to be used
with most types of processing
or production machines and,
as the robot arm can be fixed
on three sides of the cell,
application flexibility
is ensured, says RARUK.

Newman Labelling
Systems is providing
customers with two
labelling solutions – the
CTE350 and CTE450 – to
ensure compliance with the
Falsified Medicines Directive
(FMD) 2011/62/EU.
The FMD requires two
mandatory safety features that
enable medicines to be verified
and authenticated along
the supply chain: tamper
evident features and a unique
identifier on the carton.
THE TWO LABELLERS
CAN RUN AT UP TO
400
cartons a minute on the faster
model and 350 a minute on
the more compact machine
Newman says its CTE350
and CTE450 automatic
tamper evident labellers
enable customers to meet
these new regulations, while
also providing high levels
of flexibility and reliability.
Designed to apply a range of
self-adhesive tamper-evident,
anti-counterfeit and hologram
labels, a single machine can
handle a wide range of carton
types and sizes.
The CTE350 measures just
over 1 metre in length and is
ideal for integrating in to lines
where space is at a premium.
Where higher speeds are
required, the CTE450 is the
better option to use.
Newman can also integrate
different print and inspection
systems with both the CTE350
and CTE450, giving full
compatibility with the Track

New Machinery
New app controls robot
operations in a new way
With the aim of creating
a more intuitive,
easier and faster way
to control industrial robots,
Comau has released PickAPP,
an Android application
to perform pick and place
operations in a completely
new way.
Until now, robot
programmers were skilled
technicians who used a teach
pendant device (robot remote
control) to interact with the
robot. Comau says it has
reversed this scenario with its
‘ease of use’ new APP which
is designed to improve the
customer experience.
PickAPP is an Android
application for an 8-10 inch
tablet, configured with
graphical operations which
are said to improve the overall
user experience. Thanks to this
application, anyone familiar
with smartphones will be able
to move a robot and create a
pick and place process simply
preparing a list of waypoints,
without having to learn robotic
programming language.
The user moves the robot
Kecol MU M-A 2018.qxp_MU 09/03/2018 16:00 Page 1
PickAPP is currently available for low payload robots, but more will follow
manually by pulling and
pushing robot joints, or using
the interface in a similar
way that is used for toy
cars or drones. Additional
configurations, like the type
of movement and the actions
related to a gripper, can be
easily added.
The application has been
developed by multiple users
with a different approach
than the one usually used for
standard industrial processes,
says Comau. A sample group
of testers, ranging from expert
technicians to young people
who play games on a tablet,
were able to perform the
programming required for
a pick and place process in
just a few minutes, and
without any prior training.
PickAPP is available for
Comau low payload robots,
such as Rebel-S (SCARA),
Racer3 and Racer5 (3 to 5kg
payload), and will soon be
implemented for the entire
Comau robot family.

Integrating vision into
machine automation
Automation
specialist B&R
is introducing
an image processing
solution to the
UK market at the
Machine Vision
Conference (MVC).
This solution was
first introduced at
SPS IPC Drives in
Germany at the end
of last year, and
makes machine
vision an integral
element of the
automation ecosystem.
It includes
cameras, software
and lighting accessories
and is designed to be
seamlessly incorporated in
the automation system.
“Vision has often been an
add-on when dealing with
robot automation,” says
Stephen Radcliffe, marketing
manager for the UK & Ireland
at B&R Automation. “Our new
option takes out a whole layer
of processing and the reaction
from machine builders at
launch was overwhelmingly
positive,” he says.
Acrovision, one of the UK’s
vision inspection and barcode
reading integrators, will be
showing a cobot (collaborative
robot) working with its smart
vision cameras at the
one-day event.
The company says it is
finding that integrating cobots
into vision applications
is providing a safe and
cost-effective solution to many
vision applications where
product handling is an issue.
Recent applications include
guiding the robot with vision,
B&R’s vision portfolio ranges from simple to high-end units
At the heart of the solution is
a broad selection of intelligent
camera technology. Options
at the lower end will replace
simple machine vision sensors,
while the top of the range
will harness the full potential
of high-end smart cameras.
Also, ready-made software
components are available for
creating applications with
minimal new programming.
Lighting elements are
available integrated in the
camera, as an external
device, or even as a
combination of the
two. This makes
extremely precise
synchronisation
for high-speed
image capture and
object-specific
functions such as
bright-field or darkfield
illumination
easy to implement.
Image triggers and
lighting control can
be synchronised
with the rest of
the automation
system in hard real
time and with submicrosecond
precision.
B&R’s machine vision
system is integrated on every
level: the engineering tool,
the real-time operating system
and the application software.
With a single development
environment for every aspect
of automation, controls
engineers will now be able
to implement many machine
vision tasks on their own,
says Radcliffe.
T 01733 371320
W www.br-automation.com
Integrating cobots into vision applications
is proving a cost effective handling option
providing the robot with
x-y co-ordinates for
‘pick-and-place’, or the robot
is moving the camera for
multiple inspections of the
same particular part.
The key advantage of using
cobots is that as well as being
very easy to program, they
are also inherently safe
(subject to risk assessment),
to allow them to work with
and alongside humans, says
the company.

Show highlights supply
chain efficiency gains
Foodex returns to the NEC,
Birmingham in April
to highlight the latest
innovations in supply chain
efficiency.
Billed as the UK’s leading
trade event for the food and
drink processing, packaging
and logistics industries, the
event takes place over three
days and will see over 400
suppliers in halls 3 and 3a.
The show is co-located with
Food & Drink Expo, National
Convenience Show, Farm
Shop & Deli Show and the
new Ingredients Show.
Nearly 50 PPMA (Processing
& Packaging Machinery
Association) members will
be demonstrating their latest
developments during the three
days. Some are highlighted on
the following pages, but more
will be at the NEC.
The Sustainability Zone
at Foodex is a dedicated area
within the show bringing
a selection of exhibitors
offering green solutions to
the UK’s food and drink
manufacturers. From energy

Riggs Autopack will be
exhibiting a selection of its
volumetric depositors and

Visitors to the stand will
see a twin head automatic
filling machine with conveyor,
transfer pump and a selection of
semi-automatic filling machines
with foot pedal control that are
designed for small to medium
scale food production.
The depositors and filling
machines are available as a
and lighting through to waste
disposal and reduction,
organisers say visitors to
the Zone will be able to find
the complete solution.
“Increasing supply chain
efficiency is one of the most
effective ways for companies to
reduce overheads and increase
profits,” says Dan Dixon,
sales director at organisers
William Reed Business Media.
“Foodex recognises this,
bringing logistics experts from
all corners of the industry
to contribute their insights
and experience, providing
opportunities for visitors to
learn and be inspired.”

It will also be showcasing
the RF Lite feeding system
with thermal inkjet coder which
the company describes as an
entry-level solution that brings
the benefits of automated date
marking within the reach of
many smaller and more cost
sensitive food manufacturers
for the first time.
The RF Lite has been
developed to cater for changing
market dynamics and packaging
demands, which are seeing
smaller, thinner and complexshaped
packaging sleeves being
applied across a much broader
and more variable range of
products. The ability to handle
such packaging media and
formats is where the RF Lite
excels, as its friction-wheel feed
system can easily handle thinner
and lighter sleeves whereas
conventional ‘push’ or shuttle
feed mechanisms would struggle.
Also on show will be the
offline RF Auto sleeve and
carton friction feeder which
incorporates a patented autogate
feature that automatically
adjusts to accommodate
varying thicknesses of
packaging materials. This
automatic adjustment feature is
beneficial for lines that have to
accommodate multiple product
changeovers – sometimes
as many as 10 per day –
as it eliminates set-up times
and sleeve waste.

Multi-equipment project has
automated wood processing
RM Group had to
overcome several
challenges when
supplying equipment to
automate the labour intensive
process of handling large
boards at SCA Timber.
SCA approached RM Group
to assist in the automation
of depalletising 1200 mm x
2400 mm boards, applying
multiple labels and then
restacking and strapping
them ready for storage and
shipment to customers.
The product brief was
to supply, install and
commission an automatic
de-palletising robot and system,
capable of handling several
variations of board size and
stack patterns. In addition
to the robotic handling
equipment, the company also
integrated a new automatic
Bocedi strapping machine
complete with four corner
product protection.
The installation included
a roller conveyor system that
receives full packs of 1200 mm
x 2400 mm boards ranging
in thickness from 6 mm-25 mm
SCA Timber (UK) now has an operator friendly system performing reliably
before presenting them to
the robot for de-palletising.
An ABB robot palletiser
with multi-function head for
handling boards was supplied
as well as two Domino
automatic print and apply
label applicators. The fully
automatic Bocedi strapping
machine with corner
protection was joined by
a conveyor system to transport
loaded packs through
the strapping machine
and on to the existing beam
saw machine.
A full safety guarding
system including mesh
guards, light guards and
access gates with control
panels and operator interface,
completed the solution.
One of the unique
challenges of the project
was that the boards have a
natural suction to one another
which the depalletiser had to
overcome. Also, the restricted
work area and high speed
requirements meant the
system RM Group supplied
needed to be robust and
efficient with quick change
over between products.
The system was fully
pre-assembled at the RM Group
factory for set up and testing of
all formats as well as reducing
onsite commissioning time.
A detailed customer factory
acceptance test was also
carried out prior to despatch.
In addition to RM Group
factory testing, a number
of tests and a pre-delivery
acceptance test were carried
out at the Bocedi factory
in Italy. As a result, the
integration and installation
of the strapping machine
was a smooth process.

Million pound investments meet
pharma needs of contract packer
Pharmaceutical contract
manufacturer and
packer Wasdell Group
is investing millions in new
equipment and processes to
help meet its stated ambitions
of becoming the number one
contract packaging company
in Europe. The company has
also announced expansion
plans in Swindon as well as a
new greenfield site in Ireland.
At the end of last year, the
company invested £1.1 million
in a new Romaco Noack
blister machine for its Burnley
facility which was supplied
by Pharma Machinery while
this January, the company
announced a £1 million
investment in serialisation
(track and trace) technology.
The latest Noack machine
joins the Romaco-only fleet
of equipment housed across
the Wasdell facilities and
has increased the company’s
annual capacity by 500
million blisters. This new
950 unit expands the fleet
of Noack machines to pack
pharmaceutical, health and
nutritional products into
blisters. An advantage of
the new technology is that
existing tooling can work
across both machines with
Wasdell director of sales Andy Causer
The latest Noack machine - the 950 - joins the Romaco-only fleet of equipment housed across the Wasdell sites
only slight modifications to
the cutters required.
Director of sales Andy
Causer, a qualified engineer,
is very familiar with the
Noack equipment and believes
these quick changeover
machines are perfect to meet
the short production runs that
the contract packer has to
cope with all the time.
Focusing on just one supplier
of such key equipment also
brings other benefits.
“Our engineers are used to
working on them and have
built up a bank of knowledge,”
he tells Machinery Update.
“Our spare parts are also
rationalised, and our inhouse
engineering facilities make
blister tooling available within
4-6 weeks,” he says.
“Speed to market is key for
us which is why we invested
in our tool making facilities,”
he continues. “This is an
important element of our
business that we have complete
control over,” he says.
At the start of the project,
Wasdell’s Phil Vines visited
Romaco in Germany with
Dave Renninson of the UK
agent Pharma Machinery to
discuss all the specifications.
Meanwhile, the company
believes it is staying one step
ahead in the fight to stop
counterfeit drugs thanks
to its recent investment in
serialisation. The technology
meets FMD requirements
and enables each pack
produced at Wasdell to be
serialised, tamper-proofed
and aggregated at case and
pallet levels.
Although the deadline for
FMD compliance is February
next year, Causer says the fact
that Wasdell is ahead of the
game in this area is already
bringing in more new business
The company
has built a bank
of knowledge
to the group, even from big
pharma companies that have
not yet started down the road
to compliance.
The company identified the
need for new machinery and
software and the project was
overseen by group validation
manager Ayo Sotannde. Four
new machines will be added
to production lines, with the
first one now in operation.
The company worked
closely with the software
designers and the machine
manufacturers to specify
exactly what was needed
according to clients’ needs
across the world.
“We’ve taken a very
proactive approach here and
have been preparing for the
arrival of this legislation for
almost a year,” says Sotannde.
“This first machine will
enable us to help protect our
clients’ goods and the general
public against counterfeit
pharmaceuticals.”

Six-axis robots are deboning
legs of pork at flexible speed
Six-axis robots that are
now being used for
processing meat have
delivered greater productivity
and efficiency in Japan.
The job of removing bones
from pork legs is being
achieved by a pioneering
Hamdas-R robot system that
uses two Stäubli six-axis
RX160 HE machines operating
as master butchers. The
machine has to meet strict
hygiene requirements for
handling fresh meat and it also
has to perform at speed – no
fewer than 500 pork legs enter
and leave the line per hour.
Robot functionality is also
tested at these speeds because
no one piece of pork is the
same as another, so flexibility
is also a key requirement.
The HE version of the Stäubli
RX160 is used as it is specially
designed to withstand the
intensive cleaning processes
in the food industry. The fully
enclosed robots equipped with
special gaskets conform to
IP65 standards of protection
while the use of a Stäubli
overpressure unit increases
Simmatic MU J-F 2018.qxp_MU 09/01/2018 17:03 Page 1
The new meat processing line avoids the physically exhausting manual work for operators at new high speeds
the degree of protection even
further; the wrist meets the
requirements of IP67, meaning
that it is completely watertight,
for example.
Vertical internal cabling
has also meant that as all the
connectors are located under
the robot pedestal, they are
safe from water ingress.
The Japanese equipment
manufacturer has devised a
way of using the robots with
the correct precision for the
task. In operation, an x-ray
system detects the position
of the bones in the meat and
calculates the exact incision
line for the robots. Robots have
to compensate for the fact that
the meat is hanging from an
overhead hook, and so is liable
to move around. Each wristmounted
knife has to cut with
precision and, at the same
time, with sensitivity to avoid
any collisions with bones.
Food-safe oils are used
in combination with the
robots, without any loss
of efficiencies.

Multi-pack line for
popcorn saves film
An automatic multi-packing line
for 20g popcorn bags that uses
flow wrapping to reduce film
consumption and a vertical racetrack
collator to counter product fragility,
lightness and irregular shapes, has been
developed by Italian manufacturer PFM.
Based on a PFM Compact horizontal
multipacker, the line has been delivered
to a major snack food manufacturer in
the Far East, replacing a manual bagging
operation, and handles 30 primary
packs a minute, ten in each multipack.
Film savings are in excess of 30%.
Primary packs are fed flat to the
racetrack collator, which
accumulates five and indexes
through 90 degrees to
present the row on
edge to a pusher.
This guides the
bags through the
wrapper’s forming
box and a repeat cycle completes the
2 x 5 collation, which is then sealed
in film.
“Instead of stacking the bags, using
a race track collator not only provides
much gentler handling, but by wrapping
the bags on edge also gives the multipack
a narrower facing for better use of shelf
space,” points out PFM product specialist
Alan Atkinson.
The multipacks are wrapped with
a block bottom seal, allowing stand-up
on-shelf presentation, while savings
in packaging materials come from
the intrinsic tightness of this form of
multipack and also optimisation
of pack dimensions.

Double-screw pumps prove popular for
the industrial production of ice creams
Froneri Schöller,
formerly known as
Nestlé Schöller, has
invested in four doublescrew
pumps from
Fristam Pumps to dose
various ingredients to
its ice cream premix.
Engineers at
Pumps are sturdy, versatile and hygienic
the company were
particularly impressed by the sophisticated
design, versatility, high performance and
low maintenance of the technology.
The central positioning of the gearwheels
allows for an extra compact design while
the solid shafts are reinforced to all critical
points to ensure maximum
rigidity. Also, the large
bearings and increased
bearing distances make the
pumps particularly stable.
Fristam says all these
design features guarantee
smooth running and
minimum wear.
In operation, the FDS 3
pumps (fitted with frequency inverters)
can transfer thin and also thick products
from 1000 litre tanks to the premix vessels

technology bombards the
surface of materials such as
metals, plastics and glass with
a high speed discharge of ions
to clean, etch and functionalise
them. This treatment removes
contaminants and increases
the surface energy to ensure
adhesive joints, printing inks
or applied coatings achieve
optimum performance.

Enercon says that both
options are ideal for use on
almost all surfaces. The wider
head of the blown arc gives a
broader coverage area while
the fine nozzle of the blown ion
treater makes it ideal for use
with difficult to reach recesses.
An option to run multiple
heads from multiple processes
from one machine is also
offered by the technology.
These treaters can be
integrated with robotics for
applications requiring precise
treatment paths or mounted
over a conveyor or indexing
system. The company works

Feature: Ready meals
The ready meals
sector continues
to up its quality
Ready meals
manufacturers have
been upping their games
in the ‘exotic’ stakes
by developing spicier
and less conventional offerings in
the last twelve months. Sales of
Indian, Chinese, Thai and other
Asian ready meals are booming,
according to The Grocer, as are
own label dishes that are way
outstripping growth in branded
convenience food offerings.
You can find out more about the
success that Indian ready meals
manufacturer Mumtaz is enjoying
right now as it continues to develop
its own dishes but also supply more
and more own-label offerings to
multiples and discounters. It has
invested in tray sealing equipment
at its new Bradford factory
(see pages 50-51).
Underpinning all of this NPD
is the premiumisation that is
being seen across the board, no
matter the dish in question. And
this is also the case in traditional
ready meals that still account for
nearly 40% of the category and
have themselves, demonstrated
the same trend for more unusual,
exotic and premium ingredients.
As well as the demand for
convenience, positive health
benefits are also becoming more
important to shoppers.
Indeed, higher quality ready meals
have been cited as one of the factors
putting pressure on many high
street, mainly Italian, restaurant
chains in the news just now.
NEW ‘RESTAURANT QUALITY’

quality’ foods, packaging
machinery manufacturers have
to cope with new formats and
materials being introduced to help

required to code onto more varied
packs and substrates – from
plastics trays and bags to card
sleeves and cartons, and often at
different angles.
Steve Ryan of Rotech Machines
believes a number of different
stakeholders are increasing
pressure on ready meals producers
with regard to the quality of
labelling and coding.
“With retailers demanding clearer,
more detailed ingredient
information, overprinting important
batch numbers, barcodes and
expiry date information becomes
more complex and has led to a
definite push towards offline
systems that cater to different
packaging types and product ranges
and portion pack sizes,” he says.
Effective tray sealing is a key
ingredient to ready meals and
this is covered in this feature, as
as is inspection equipment which
plays a vital role in this sector as
it typically has more processes
than other food items, so there are
more risks. Tony Burgess of Proseal
says machinery suppliers need
to be able to respond quickly to
both current and future packaging
trends in this market. “For tray
sealers, this requires an element of
future-proofing in the development
of new tray equipment,” he says.
“This gives food manufacturers
the reassurance of knowing that
they will have the capability to
handle the latest packaging trend
without the need to invest in new
kit every time.”

Passion for good
food is a family
affair in Bradford
Mumtaz has come a long way since its humble beginnings but its
emphasis remains on good, wholesome homemade food at its new
ready meals factory that houses robust and also reliable equipment
T
he Mumtaz mission is simple.
The company wants to delight
its customers with the rare taste
of authentic Indian cuisine
and to excite them with rich,
aromatic sauces and authentic flavours.
With family values at heart, the
company uses its grandmother’s original
recipes to make honest Indian food and
creates its hand cooked ready meals using
the finest quality fresh ingredients, using
no additives or preservatives. It does this
at the factory it moved into in 2015.
This 60,000sq ft site was built from
scratch to accommodate the growing
ready meals business and it currently
houses a line comprising equipment from
Mondini and a rice filler from Multi-Fill.
Importantly for the company’s growth
targets, the BRC-accredited factory also
has all the services in place to handle
other lines in the future. As operations
director of the business Bilal Akbar says:
“We are so passionate about our food,
our goal is to become a household brand
that is synonymous with restaurant
quality food, at home.”
And this goal is certainly in sight as
it now supplies meals to several multinational
retailers and discounters and
has recently won a contract to supply
on-line grocer Ocado. Initially, the
company produced its own, Great Taste
Award-winning meals, but today it also
manufactures a significant number of
own-brand SKUs. Indeed, about 50%
of its business is now in own-label which
has effectively, doubled its volumes.
The Mumtaz business started in 1979
when Grandma set up a 4 metre square
shop on Great Horton Road in Bradford
selling samosas and the like. Following
years of expansion, this site now thrives as
a nearly 500 cover, landmark restaurant in
Bradford. The family has since opened
a further restaurant in Leeds but in the
mid-90s, found itself at a crossroads.
Should the business open more
restaurants or expand into the ready
meals business?
Dr Gul-Nawaz Akbar, Bilal’s father,
a neuro surgeon by profession, decided
to take the manufacturing route and
started making meals in a unit at the
back of the Bradford restaurant in 1995.
At the end of the decade it acquired
a second-hand Mondini machine to seal
its ready meals trays.
It was this purchase that convinced
the company to buy the line for its new
factory from the Italian company. Mainly
because, this old machine, which was one

Mumtaz started making its own range of meals in 1995 and bought a second-hand Mondini machine
of the first automatic machines Mondini
manufactured, is still going strong today!
At the new site, this original model is
still used for smaller runs, or sometimes
development quantities, and continues
to run without a problem.
The tender from Mumtaz to Mondini
specified a fully automatic line which would
work constantly at a speed of 60 packs a
minute, much faster than the second-hand
unit. Products to be handled comprised a
range of chilled Indian ready meals into
single and twin compartment trays.
According to Brian Hemsley, sales
director of Mondini UK, the length of
the line was determined so that Mumtaz
could automate the filling of products
in the future. “These future depositing
machines would also work with a
travelling head system as, to achieve
60 packs a minute, each product has to be
deposited under control to avoid spillage,”
he says. Avoiding spillage also stops any
contamination of the tray sealing flange
which is likely to lead to sealing issues.
Mumtaz wanted an efficient line with
a sealing machine that would deliver
complete control of the filled trays into the
sealer, positioning them on the grouping
belt gently to avoid any errors. Pusher
arms guarantee a smooth transfer into
the sealing tool area, where this precise
movement allows the sealing tool to heat
seal the trays efficiently.
INTEGRATED PRODUCTION LINE
Tray denesting and handling, controlled
depositing (filling the cold, viscous
sauces) and feeding to the integrated
Trave tray sealer were key to the success
of this project, says Hemsley. After tray
sealing, the trays go through metal
detectors to the separate packing area.
In operation, the tray denester has
to have six minutes accumulation time
to allow the operator to complete other
activities. Meanwhile, precise control of
the sealing tool technology also allows
for quick changeovers which is crucial to
a food business handling many different
ready meal variants, about 40-50 SKUs.
Changeovers are critical to the
The family continues to run a landmark restaurant in Bradford along with a second, in Leeds
business along with easy clean down
between different meals.
Bilal says the company was comfortable
in committing to the Mondini equipment
because of its track record in providing
efficiency, robustness and flexibility to
the business. He also talks about the
responsiveness of the UK business in terms
of service and spare parts. “The back-up
has been very good,” he says.
“We did consider other equipment
but we were not as impressed with their
build quality,” he tells Machinery Update.
“We run a chilled food operation and so
can’t afford breakdowns.” The company
handles orders on day one, for day two,
so everything needs to be efficient.
Bilal says the family took a long term
view in its decision to purchase Mondini
equipment for the site. It installed the latest
Trave model, the 367, to meet its needs.
“It gave us peace of mind,” says Bilal.
And the company is not finished
investing in the plant as it is currently
investigating multihead technology to
handle the proteins. And, of course, it is
already set up to install additional lines
when the business volumes justify it.
As the company approaches almost
40 years in the industry, it is still as
committed to making the finest range of
authentic Indian food as Grandma was
to creating the most delightful curries
for the people of Bradford back when it
all began. “This desire and commitment
keeps us striving for perfection and in the
creation of our range of premium chilled
ready meals, we have found the perfect
outlet for our passion for food,” says Bilal.

Following successful trials
against competitor equipment
a few years’ ago, MDS first won
the contract to install inspection

Nythe Farm has diversified its
operation into the production
of a range of prepared meals,
snacks and convenience foods,
such as chicken sushi, meatballs,
bhajis and porridge pots, serving
both local and national retailers.
Previously, the company used
hand applied labels onto a variety
of pack formats in different
materials including coated card

label guns were unreliable,
placement was inaccurate and
the lack of quality detracted from
the overall appearance of the
food packaging.
A particular challenge was
the variety of pack types and sizes
which needed to be coded,
leading to frequent changeovers
that made the use of an automated

PORTABLE PRINTER BENEFIT
The Linx 10, however, is able to
print a high quality, permanent
two line code comprising price

five hours a day, four days a week.
This non-contact printing method
means it can easily print onto

Pack developments
are challenging
machine flexibility
The growth in popularity
of skin packs and other
new formats for ready
meals and ready-to-cook
foods, such as MAP gas
flushing and vacuum MAP sealing,
is creating additional challenges
for equipment suppliers, says Tony
Burgess of Proseal.
Such developments have
led to many manufacturers
experimenting with pack formats,
particularly for new products.
At the same time it is imperative
that, while exploring these options,
they are still able to maintain
current production needs.
In addition, the proliferation
of new products means many
manufacturers now have to be
able to handle a variety of different
packs on their lines.
Machinery suppliers therefore
need to be able to respond quickly
to both current and future packing
trends. For tray sealers, this
requires an element of futureproofing
in the development
of new tray equipment, so that
food manufacturers have the
reassurance of knowing that they
will have the capability to handle
the latest packing trend without
the need to invest in new kit
every time.
EASY PRODUCT SWITCHES
Proseal’s latest models, for
example, can handle all of
the above-mentioned sealing
formats, and these options can
be added at any time, and even
removed if required. “This gives
manufacturers the flexibility easily
to switch between packs during
normal production, or to run trial
packs,” says Burgess.
In addition, as we develop
new features in line with market
requirements, we ensure that
these can also be retrofitted to
models already in operation on
the production floor, he says.
In terms of line speeds, the
introduction of new technologies

sector and so
must be flexible
such as following motion and
intelligent buffering, which enable
trays to feed continuously into
a tray sealer without having to
pre-sort and adjust pack spacing,
have helped to increase speeds.
They also improve product
handling since there are fewer line
stoppages due to misplaced trays.
Meanwhile, the availability of
online monitoring of equipment and
the ability to collect data on small
but unscheduled line stoppages
can help production managers
and engineers identify recurring
problems and implement corrective
action to maximise line uptime
FULLY INTEGRATED LINES
Both of these developments also
underline the importance of
developing fully integrated packing
lines, where individual pieces
of equipment are linked together
to help maximise efficiencies.
As part of this, modular conveyor
designs allow individual sections
of the infeed and outfeed
conveyors to be removed for
maintenance and cleaning,
helping to maximise hygiene and
avoid unnecessary or unplanned
downtime throughout the line.
Similarly the availability of
cartridge tool systems enables
any tool to be quickly and easily
removed from a tray sealer and
replaced in the event of a problem.
All the elements that might need
attention are contained within
the cartridge, meaning repairs
and adjustments can be carried
out offline while the tray sealer
continues to operate, thus ensuring
that downtime is minimised and
overall throughput maintained.

says Phil Brown, managing
director of Fortress Technology.
“Although it may demonstrate
best practice and adhere to
many quality assurance and
regulatory guidelines, lack
of understanding about what
your prevalent metal risks
might be and where they
could be introduced means
that your factory could still

the risks involved in cutting
corners and why it pays
to be hypervigilant and
strategic when selecting food

contaminants, including metal.
Lockton’s Food and Beverage
Product Recall Risk Tracker
found that food contamination
linked to choking hazards
were the cause of 22% of food
and drink recalls over the
past six years.
Given that investment
in inspection systems by
food factories is predicted
to continue, Brown advises
that risk professionals should
constantly revisit inspection
protocols and hypothetical
contamination scenarios
to flush out the threats.
Lockton’s research highlights
that one in ten food and
beverage manufacturers are
using cheaper raw materials
and ingredients, with 40%
agreeing that ingredient
transparency and traceability
are becoming harder to
determine.
Sourcing from sub-contractors
and changing suppliers
provides the ideal opportunity
to reconsider and review food
safety inspection standards,
says Brown.

Instant meals, such as a curry
or roast dinners may have
even more ingredients, with
pulses or other carbohydrates
added to the dish.
When assessing risk,
examining all of the
processing steps is critical
as metal could be introduced
in any number of the processes
where cutting blades or

requiring, cleaning, peeling
and inspection, slicing,
cooking, quality inspection,
flavouring and finally
weighing and packing.
RISK CAN BE AMPLIFIED
If manufacturers are choosing
cheaper raw ingredients, the
risk to reputation could be
amplified.
“Although most external
companies supplying
ingredients are extremely
diligent, the more extensive
a supply chain and the further
inspection equipment is
pushed up the line-up, the
greater the risks,” says Brown.
Likening a metal
contaminant to a virus, Brown
emphasises that catching it in
its largest form, for example
in a single potato, is the
ideal. “Doing this means you
eliminate it at the cheapest
part of the process, but also
you catch it before the metal
is chopped up and dispersed
into multiple products,”
he explains.
Pushing the inspection solely
to the end of the line means
any contamination will be
caught at the most expensive
part of the production
process where an entire
batch of product, for example
500 ready meals, could
potentially be contaminated
with unidentifiable metal
fragments.
Also, zero recalls in the
past doesn’t mean you are
immune to future threats.
“Quality assurance often runs
deeper than the obvious,”
says Brown. Rather than
considering the ‘if’ it can be
prudent to think instead about
the ‘when’. To mitigate future
contaminant risks means you
are not looking for patterns
but future potential holes
in the security chain.
From a practical
perspective, food processing
inspection risks should be
reviewed every 12 months
as part of a defined HACCP
assessment. However you may
want to do it more frequently
if a process is changing,
for example if switching
packaging from a plastic wrap
to a cardboard outer,” he says.

Feature: Ready meals
Speed and
flexibility is
essential for
ready meals
production
and tray sealers must meet
new pack challenges,” says
Lee Vine, tray sealer design
manager at Ishida Europe.
Tray formats in the ready
meals sector are constantly
evolving, with companies
competing to gain shelf space
in the big supermarkets.
Examples include different
shapes, sizes and materials
along with multi-compartment
packs. This, says Vine, has
placed demands on equipment
suppliers to deliver high
throughput and efficiencies
while handling these very
varied formats.
One major factor driving
new pack development is the
huge increase in the number
of single person households
in many parts of the world
and to meet this demographic
development, producers are
introducing single-serve
formats. What was once a
pack suitable for two people is
now evolving into a pack with
two separate compartments,
each containing a single portion.
This allows one half of the
contents to be consumed,
while the other remains in
its protective packaging
atmosphere until required at
a later date. For the consumer,
this provides convenience,
while the extended product
life and portion control help
to drive down food waste.
TEAR OFF FEATURES
For the manufacturer, these
single-serve packs bring new
challenges, however. The pack
has to be capable of being
separated by the consumer,
so typically a tear-off feature
is included between the
compartments. This tear-off
feature reduces the rigidity of
the package and this in turn
increases the demands on
high speed automatic pack
handling systems.
The two compartments
require separate sealing film
Preserving shelf life is just one of the requirements of an effective packing line, along with efficient throughput
Coping with
new formats
Machinery Update talks to Lee Vine, tray sealer design
manager at Ishida Europe about handling new formats
to be applied to each,
effectively doubling the
number of packs being
produced by the equipment.
Meanwhile, the competitive
nature of the convenience
foods and ready meals sector
is also driving new product
development. At the same
time, many lines are packing
for special promotions and
this requires the ability to vary
certain lines by as much as
60% week on week. As a result,
flexibility is vital, with tray
sealers that are quick and easy
to change between products,
and which can run at very high
efficiency, in greater demand.
To meet these requirements,
recent Ishida tray sealer
developments have included
features such as intelligent
control systems with autoset
features for integrated
film coding, gas mixing and
analysing, allowing one
button product changeovers.
Servo-driven motion delivers
accurate and consistent tray
Single-serve along with
multi-compartment packs are
some of the latest challenges
handling at high speeds in
order to maximise product
throughput.
A key development for
multi-product operations
is the ability of some tray
sealers to handle two different
products simultaneously.
In operation, two lanes of
product can be fed into the
tray sealer, with each lane
operating independently at
different speeds. This enables
manufacturers to run two
separate tray sizes, pack
weights, or products, and even
for two different customers,
at the same time, in only one
machine footprint, says Vine.
Such examples of high
speed combined with high
flexibility, along with the
long term reliability of the

www.machineryupdate.co.uk MARCH/APRIL 2018 MACHINERY UPDATE 63
equipment, can deliver low
cost of ownership and fast
return on investment, he says.
Vine says that to ensure that
product freshness and shelf
life are guaranteed in every
pack that leaves the factory,
an effective monitoring
system is also a vital part
of a successful packing
operation. The importance of
this is demonstrated by figures
from WRAP (the Waste &
Resources Action Programme)
that showed that packaging
leaks have been associated
with almost 500,000 tonnes
of food wasted in production
each year in recent times.
PREVENTING LEAKAGES
Equally important, if the
leaking pack is not detected
before it reaches the consumer,
the dangers of damaging
brand and company reputation
are immense – and these can
be played out very publicly
in today’s social media
obsessed world.
To prevent this, there is
a wide choice of inspection
equipment available.
Preserving shelf life is just
one of the requirements of
an effective packing line,
along with other critical
considerations such as
maximising efficiencies and
throughput. Therefore, while
each machine is important in
its own right, it is also vital
that every piece of equipment
is able to integrate effectively
and operate as part of a fully
automated packing operation
that covers the weighing,
filling, sealing and inspection
of packs, and then placing
them into cartons, boxes or
Euro-trays.
“This type of integrated
approach will enable food
manufacturers to drive
out waste and maintain
production quality in
order to reduce risk and
optimise performance,” says
Vine. Equally important,
investment in this type of
equipment can deliver quick
commercial returns both by
minimising the costs incurred
by product returns, and by
ensuring consistent high
quality products that reduce
customer complaints. It also
protects brand image and
demonstrates to retailers
that they are sourcing from
responsible suppliers who
can achieve and deliver
high levels of customer
satisfaction.
“Establishing this type
of reputation can also lead
to new business as well as
helping to retain existing
contracts,” asserts Vine.

Labelling, Coding and Marking
Labelling machine is designed
to evolve to meet new demand
Herma describes the
labeller it launched
at Anuga FoodTec in
March as the first ‘evolving’
labelling machine.
This new Herma 652B
system specialises in costefficient
top and/or base
labelling of box-shaped
products but this basic
unit can be easily replaced
by higher performance
modules. Herma says this
results in a considerably
reduced investment volume
while maximising forward
compatibility.
The 652B system features
one or two Herma basic
labellers, allowing users costefficient
access to labelling
technology. At speeds of 25
metres a minute, about 100
labels per minute, even the
basic version manages both
top and base labelling in
one time-saving work step.
A keypad with a display
enables users to set the exact
speed, and the integrated
controller renders external
control cabinets unnecessary.
The machine processes
The Herma 652B system was introduced at Anuga FoodTec as future-proof
label sizes between 12 x 12
and 160 x 400mm.
However, the machine can
be easily retrofitted with one
or two high performance
Herma 400 labellers should
requirements regarding
labelling speed, precision,
and functions become more
demanding over time.
To accommodate this, the basic
model was developed with
connection points identical to
those of the Herma 400.
“For users, this means
a considerably smaller
investment volume compared
to a system that features
a Herma 400 from the start,”
says Matthias Holder,
sales director at Herma.
He believes this is of particular
benefit to smaller businesses
introducing new products, as
labelling output can be very
hard to estimate.
In addition, the new
labelling machine features
a variable speed conveyor belt
and can be easily integrated
into existing production lines.
Additionally, it can process a
wide range of product formats
– the maximum product size
is 260 (w) x 280 mm (h)
with any length. Various
application mechanisms can
be used depending on the
structure of the surfaces that
need to be labelled. By default,
label transfer is carried out
via a rigid beak with a roller,
a spring-loaded roller, or a
brush. A pneumatic pivot beak
can also be supplied.
“The Herma 652B enables
quick, flexible, and economic
reaction to market changes,”
says Martin Kühl, head of
Herma’s Labelling Machines
Division. “That is an essential
advantage for users in
small and medium-sized
companies in the food
industry where profit margins
are often slim.”

Components
Guidance system helps
to deliver functionality
High speed, high volume
and low maintenance
were the performance
demands placed on linear
motion company HepcoMotion
for a challenging packaging
application for Bosch Packaging
Technology in partnership with
its recently acquired company,
the Kliklok Corporation.
The combination of
Beckhoff’s XTS and Hepco’s
GFX guidance system has
enabled Bosch to develop a
new product, boasting one of
the highest speeds available
for a solution with such a
small footprint. Hepco’s GFX
guidance for Beckhoff XTS
is a highly versatile product
that is rapidly being adopted
in the packaging industry
for applications such as this,
where users are looking to
benefit from vastly improved
production rates with the
ability to make on the fly
product changes.
The Kliklok integrated
topload cartoner (ITC) forms top
load style cartons or trays and
automatically loads wrapped
products into them before
closing. It is a single integrated
solution with three functions;
carton forming, loading and
closing – using one operator
and one HMI. Central to this
new machine is the intelligent
transport system that is used
to control and move the cartons
from forming, right through
to the finished pack. And this
is where the GFX HepcoMotion
guidance system for Beckhoff’s
XTS eXtended transport system
is used.
Linear motion company
HepcoMotion has worked with
Beckhoff to develop specialised
versions of the PRT2 and 1-Trak
guidance systems to work with
the Beckhoff XTS.
LONG TERM DURABILITY
This option meets the needs of
higher duty XTS applications
where motion profiles and long
term durability requirements
are particularly demanding.
The Beckhoff XTS uses
linear motor technology to
drive independently controlled
movers around a track.
This is particularly useful in
this application as it allows
The Kliklok integrated (ITC) cartoner forms top load style cartons or trays
Improved production rates and also product changes on the fly are delivered
dwell at the operation stations.
An individual mover can
therefore be controlled and
stopped at an operation station
irrespective of the other movers.
As each operation takes a
different amount of time, this is
an advantage for the Kliklok ITC
as throughput is not limited by
the slowest process.
In this application, the
Beckhoff XTS system integrates
Hepco’s patented 1-Trak
guidance system. Lightweight
three bearing movers follow
a track comprising straight
and circular arc sections and
a clothoid curved transition.
This shape gives a gentler
motion for the movers and
allows the machine to run
faster and more smoothly than
would be possible for an oval
shaped ‘running track’.
The system rigidity offered
by Hepco’s GFX track system
is a core benefit for Kliklok
– particularly for the carton
forming module. The hardened
steel guidance system is based
on Hepco’s proven and precise
V guide technology, which
rigidly guides the movers
around the track. This ensures
accurate alignment and
resistance to deflection to avoid
inconsistent carton forming.

monitors the consumption of the
main line with a 100:1 ratio.
This new addition to SMC’s
flow switch family covers a large
flow measurement range and
features a clear and easy to
read display, which is crucial in
monitoring the main line, branch
or specific equipment.
With a 100:1 flow ratio, which
is defined as the ratio between
the full-scale range and the
minimum point of measure,
the PF3A7#H can detect leaks
and monitor main line air
consumption with just
one simple product.
Accuracy of information sits
at the heart of the PF3A7#H,
with a 3-colour and 3-label
screen display that can rotate
in increments of 90 degrees,
allowing operators to take notes
and set the flow switch while
checking the measured value.
Furthermore, an analogue
output gives more detailed
information of an application’s
performance. In addition, the
external input can reset the
accumulated, peak and bottom
values without the need for
any manipulation.
“This next generation flow
switch offers our customers
greater flexibility and
functionality, while being very
simple to set and operate,
this coupled with low air loss,
makes the PF3A7#H the ideal
product for those who care about
energy efficiency,” says an SMC
spokesperson.
Through a bore type structure
made of aluminium alloy, the
PF3A7#H is also very durable.

The key to size-change
improvement when using hand
driven cranks is capturing
the linear movements of the
machine components and
bringing them into the control
system and then providing
‘smart’ visual feedback to the
machine operator during setup.
To achieve this, a new
encoder interface: BML SL1
absolute magnetic encoder
from Balluff with an IO-Link
option has eliminated the
problem of non-absolute
feedback and the hassle
of absolute position signal
interface: IO-Link. This
magnetic linear encoder is
now available which features
absolute position indication
combined with the ease and
convenience of the IO-Link
communication protocol.
Lastly, the machine operator
requires a visual feedback
regarding which direction
and how far to turn the hand
cranks. Balluff provides the
answer in the form of an
IO-Linked enabled, fully
programmable multi-segment
LED stack light. When a new
machine set-up is required, the
position parameters are stored
in the controller. The controller
communicates over IO-Link to
these LED stack lights.

Regulations
Staying on the right
side of WEEE
Paul Laidler Taylor
Business MANAGER director FOR MACHINERY for Machinery SAFETY saftey AT TÜV At SÜD Tüv PRODUCT Süd Product SERVICE service
Compliance with the WEEE Directive can be complex, so machinery builders must ascertain if their
equipment falls within its scope, and if so ensure that it is recycled and treated appropriately
Last issue, we looked
at the Restriction of
Hazardous Substances
(RoHS) Directive. Whereas
this sets restrictions as to
the material content of new
electronic equipment placed
on the market, the Waste
Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE) Directive
2012/19/EU sets collection,
recycling and recovery targets.
Consequently, the RoHS
Directive takes much of its
scope from the more complex
WEEE Directive.
Many in the machinery
industry may assume that
the WEEE Directive does not
apply to them, as three of the
Directive’s exclusions include:
• large-scale stationary tools
• large-scale fixed
installations
• non-road mobile machinery
made available exclusively
for professional use.
DEFINITIONS ARE KEY
According to the Directive,
large-scale stationary
industrial tools are defined
as: “a large-scale assembly of
machines, equipment, and/
or components, functioning
together for a specific
application, permanently
installed and de-installed by
professionals at a given place,
and used and maintained by
professionals in an industrial
manufacturing facility or
research and development
facility”.
Meanwhile, large scale fixed
installations are defined as:
“a large-size combination of
several types of apparatus
and, where applicable, other
devices which:
(a) are assembled,
installed and de-installed by
professionals
(b) are intended to be used
permanently as part of a
building or a structure at a
pre-defined and dedicated
location; and
(c) can only be replaced by
the same specifically designed
equipment”.
Finally, non-road mobile
machinery is defined by the
Directive as: “machinery, with
an on-board power source, the
operation of which requires
either mobility or continuous
or semi-continuous movement
between a succession of fixed
working locations while
working”.
However, not all machinery
is covered by these exclusions
as smaller industrial
equipment, including
luminaires and electrical
and electronic tools such as
spraying or cutting equipment
does in fact still fall under the
WEEE Directive.
The WEEE Directives
regulations place specific
obligations on producers of
non-household EEE when
it is discarded as waste by
non-household end users
in the European Union.
As with household WEEE, the
producer of commercial EEE
equipment must finance its
collection, treatment, recovery
and environmentally sound
disposal when it is discarded.
However, the Directive
does give business a little
more flexibility than that
experienced in the consumer
WEEE market. This is
because producers of the
equipment and its end users
are allowed to make their own
contractual arrangements
for the appropriate disposal
of WEEE, and are not bound
by the default arrangements
required within the Directive
for household waste.
Some local authorities accept
WEEE from small businesses for
which there is normally a charge
This means that two
routes can be chosen for the
correct collection, treatment,
recovery and disposal of
unwanted EEE:
1) A commercial agreement
for the producer to dispose
of the WEEE on behalf of the
end user
2) The end user takes
responsibility for the disposal
of the WEEE.
If a commercial agreement
is entered into for the producer
to dispose of the WEEE on
behalf of the end user, they
must report the relevant data
to their Producer Compliance
Scheme. However, if the
agreement is for the end
user to be responsible for the
WEEE, the Directive places
no obligations about the
nature of these arrangements,
and consequently there is
no requirement for either
party to report data to the
agencies. However, both
parties must ensure that they
have documented proof that
such an agreement has been
reached, and the business
end-user is also obliged to
comply with the regulations
by ensuring the satisfactory
collection, treatment, recovery
and environmentally sound
disposal of the WEEE.
COLLECTION POINTS
Original producers of EEE
are allowed to take two routes
for the collection of waste.
The first is for the direct
collection of WEEE from
end-users. The second route
is the creation of central
collection points, where
the WEEE can be returned
by the end user for treatment,
reuse and recycling.
As non-household end users
of EEE do not have a legal right
for the collection of WEEE
from their own premises,
or the right of free access to
the Designated Collection
Facilities network, it is likely
that the option of a centralised
collection point will be most
efficient and cost effective for
both producers and end users.
Of course, some local
authorities accept WEEE from
small businesses for which
there is normally a charge for
this ‘trade waste’.
