PPMA matters
Can you afford
to be a Laggard
in business?
Grant Jamieson
CHAIRMAN PPMA GROUP OF ASSOCIATIONS
(INCORPORATING PPMA, BARA & UKIVA)
You may or may not have heard of the Diffusion of
Innovations written by Professor of communication
studies Everett Rogers in the 60s. It is a theory that seeks
to explain how, why, and at what rate new ideas and technology
spreads through cultures.
Rogers’ Model – The Innovation Adoption Curve - identifies
five types of behaviour:
• Innovators – brave people, pulling the change. Innovators
are very important communicators
• Early Adopters – respectable people, opinion leaders who
try out new ideas but in a careful way
• Early Majority – thoughtful people, careful but accepting
change more quickly than average
• Late Majority – sceptical people who will use new ideas or
products only when the majority are using them
• Laggards – traditional people, caring for the ‘old ways’,
who are critical towards new ideas and will only accept
it if the new idea has become mainstream or even tradition.
Risk is minimal, investments are
wise and outcomes positive
A quick search of the internet for more in-depth definitions
and you will be able to identify yourself in one of these categories,
where you are now and perhaps where you should be on this
scale. Are you an innovator or are you a Laggard – or are you
somewhere inbetween?
Innovators – can get ahead of the game but there are risks – you
could be barking up the wrong tree. Early Adopters – might be good
to be one of these, or possibly Early Majority, it depends on your
risk attitude and perhaps more so, on the motivation for process
improvement. If you do something – the outcome will be X – but
if you don’t do something then the outcome might be even worse.
So when does a process, a technology, our approach to
a problem move from the Innovators segment to the Early
Adaptors or to the Early Majority segment? And why do
I ask? Well in this issue we have many industry experts,
manufacturing companies and end users showing and telling
you how beneficial and mature the automation, robotics and
vision industries are right now. They are arguing that these are
markets in the Early Majority zone. Risk is minimal, investments
are wise and outcomes are determinable and positive.
Significantly, your (global) competition knows this and is
acting accordingly. So reflecting on your own business, is where
you fit now really where you ought to be?

Former big four boss
is headline speaker at
the PPMA Show 2015
The winning Ecotrophelia team
Top prize is awarded
to PepsiCo placement
students this summer
A team of PepsiCo placement
students has won the gold
prize at Ecotrophelia 2015,
a competition organised by
Campden BRI in conjunction
with IFST, that challenges
students interested in a career
in the food industry to design
an eco-friendly, innovative
food or drink product with
commercial potential.
Presented at Campden’s
annual open day, the
winning team was made up
of representatives from five
UK universities that will
now compete against gold
winning national teams from
across Europe in Milan this
October. A record eleven UK
universities were represented
in the final this year.
Justin King CBE, former
CEO of Sainsbury’s and
a leading figure in the
fmcg and grocery retailing
sectors, is the headline
seminar speaker at the PPMA
Show 2015, the UK’s premier
production line event for
processing and packaging
machinery taking place at the
NEC in the autumn.
Taking to the stage on the
first day (29 September), King
will discuss the future for
multiple retailers, how the
growing market shares
of discount retailers will affect
the supply chain and how
the continued emergence of
supermarket convenience
outlets is shaping the market.
“Justin is one of this
country’s most widely
respected business figures and
I’m sure his discussion will
provide valuable insight for
both visitors and exhibitors
alike,” says Grant Collier,
head of marketing for the
Former Sainsbury’s boss Justin King
PPMA Group. “The issues
surrounding suppliers and
major retailer relationships
have never been more
pertinent and there are few
people in the industry better
positioned to comment on this
topic than Justin.”
The exhibition takes place
from 29 September – 1 October
at the NEC, Birmingham, and
will feature products from
more than 300 exhibitors.

PPMA Total Show
is September event
to bring benefits
OPEN WEEK HIGHLIGHTS NEW IN HOUSE FACILITIES
Robot capabilities on show
ABB Robotics held an open week at its Milton Keynes site that
demonstrated the latest developments in robotic automation while
explaining the benefits of using robots in manufacturing processes.
Hands on workshops and innovation seminars accompanied these
demonstrations while one of the days was dedicated to educating
students, graduates and also engineering apprentices.
The PPMA Total Show 2016
will take place at the NEC,
Birmingham next September.
Historically, this machinery
and materials event has
always taken place in June
every three years, but new
organiser the PPMA Group has
moved the event to the autumn
to make more sense for
exhibitors as well as visitors.
“With the previous timings,
the gap between this event and
the PPMA Show itself was out
of kilter,” explains exhibitions
manager David Harrison.
“By moving it to September,
it fits in seamlessly with our
machinery-only event,”
he tells Machinery Update.

Practical guide to
machinery safety can
be downloaded
TÜV SÜD Product Service today
launches its Practical Guide to
Machinery Safety.
Available as a download
from TÜV SÜD’s website, the
guide has been developed in
response to the common hazards
and issues that its consultants
regularly observe when visiting
manufacturing sites.
The guide introduces machinery
safety, providing guidance on
the best route to compliance,
including topics such as:
• The legislative framework
• Implementing risk assessments
• Four steps to CE marking
• Electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC)
• Provision and Use of Work
Equipment Regulations
(PUWER).
“While machinery end-users
think they have safety compliance
covered, our site visits often
prove otherwise,” says Neil
Dyson, business line manager for
Machinery Safety at TÜV SÜD
Product Service. “Requirements
go much further than the
Machinery Directive, and a
complex series of interrelated
standards means that even the
most astute can get things wrong.
“Our new guide will help
them to ensure that they are on
the right path to compliance as
machinery safety is one of the
most significant issues.”

Compressed air leaks
are costing ‘thousands’
Compressed air
leaks are costing
UK industry
thousands of pounds
every year, according
to industrial services
provider Flexicon.
The warning from
Flexion, part of ERIKS
UK, comes in the wake
of increasing concerns
over compressed
air costs and its
environmental impact.
“UK industry is
literally leaking money
with its failure to
accurately detect and
deal with compressed
air leakages,” says
Mark Stone, product
manager at Flexicon.
“Big leaks, such as a
drain cap on a filter
regulator can cost
up to £5,000 every
year and even small leaks on
equipment, emanating from
a gas control panel, main air
drop or push fit connection
can cost hundreds of pounds
in compressed air every year.
“The concern is that the
cost of repairing a loose
connection on an isolation
valve could be as low as £25,
but the leak is all-too-often not
being detected or rectified,”
he continues. And he believes
A medium sized plant can be surveyed in under 3 hours
that the average industrial
plant leaks 30% of the total
amount of compressed air
produced with some sites
losing as much as 60% of
the total air generated.
“The problem is that this
produces an even greater
demand for compressed air
to keep up with the losses,”
he says.
“Compressed air is
produced by air generators
CSL Quarter Page Horizontal 63 x 186_(Show 15)_(Machinery Update) 20/05/2015 14:24 Page 1
which run on
electricity, which
means leakage has
an enormous impact
on both energy
efficiency and the
environment,” he
says. “The problem
is that it is regarded
as a low or no cost
item, particularly
by machine or plant
operators who don’t
have to pick up the
bill themselves.”
To aid industry,
Flexion has
introduced its
Compressed Air
Savings Programme
which includes an
application audit,
full report and
first fix capability
for customers.
“Detecting leaks is a
fairly straightforward matter
when you have the right
equipment and you know
where to look,” says Stone.
“A survey of a medium sized
plant by an experienced
team can be achieved in about
three hours with the use of
an ultrasonic detector that
is specifically designed for
the task.”

the opportunities that
industry affords.
“More can to be done to

Food pack
inspection
is UK first
SCS UK is broadening its sphere
of food inspection systems with
the range of vision equipment
from Italian company Italvision
which it is bringing to the UK for
the first time.
Vision system designer
Italvision has developed a
machine especially for the rapid
inspection of food packs.
“The system meets the challenges
of all round 3D vison, resolution
of the smallest fonts, colour
shades, pack details and accuracy
at production speeds demanded
by food companies,” explains Phil
Ryder of SCS UK. This is achieved
through the application of high
definition cameras, intense but
low energy LED illumination
and high speed 64 bit quad
image processing.
The challenge in meeting
the growing demand for pack
inspection lies in engineering
systems that can capture and
analyse images of products at
production speeds recording
minute lettering to subtle colour
variations through to complex
3D geometries, continues Ryder.
Advanced systems can be tailored
to meet specific vision needs.
“We are UK agents for other
Italian inspection units and this
vision system seemed to fit in
well with our existing portfolio,”
explains Ryder. The company is
planning to demonstrate one
of these new systems at the
PPMA Show in September.

ACHEMA Review
Intelligent monitoring
minimises downtime
Great results are
delivered by
ACHEMA 2015
More than 166,000 visitors used
the five day ACHEMA 2015 event
in Frankfurt this June to see the
offerings of 3,813 exhibitors for
the chemical, pharmaceutical
and food industry.
“We are very happy that not
only the figures add up, but
obviously the quality of the
event has been perceived as
very good by all participants,”
says Dr-Ing Thomas Scheuring.
“The atmosphere was great,
and the feedback we have
received so far was very positive.”
The next ACHEMA will take place
in Frankfurt from 11-15 June 2018
but here, we highlight just some
of the products on show this
time around.
Oerlikon Leybold
Vacuum highlighted the
benefits its monitoring
solution brings to customers
in achieving an effective
production environment
through planning,
predictability and process
safety during the exhibition.
Based on the monitoring
solution, Oerlikon Leybold
provides its customers with
customised service level
agreements and guarantees
the availability of service
experts and fast response
times. The condition-based,
predictive maintenance
strategy is designed to offer
maximum plant availability
and minimised unplanned
costly production downtimes.
In the field of heat
treatment processes, vibration
monitoring systems for dry
compressed pumps offer
enormous potential. Increased
wear on the pump is detected
as well as influencing process
conditions, such as deposit
formation or particle entry.
Maintenance measures can
be initiated when the state of
the pump actually requires
intervention, says
the company.
Run times are
maximised and
maintenance staff
can be deployed
more efficiently. With
regard to failure costs,
preventive maintenance
provides a high
return on investment
and additionally
supports a continuous
improvement process for
the entire maintenance
management as well as
for production.
In most cases,
companies may not even
need any additional
installation of expensive
sensors. “In a first step,
we use the data that our
pumps produce anyway,”
explains Thomas Knecht,
senior manager global field
& remote service at Oerlikon
Leybold Vacuum. “However,
an additional sensor can
be used to increase the
predictability in more
complex tasks.”
The condition-based
maintenance conducts
Monitoring data brings production gains
maintenance measures only
when triggered by actual
wear. The monitoring solution
enables not only the display
of trend curves, critical states,
and the storage of historical
data, but also the calculation
of cumulated consumption
values.

the prototype of a packaging
machine without an electrical
cabinet. Here, Schubert has
combined intelligent software and
reduced mechanics which means
the system’s maintenance costs

Tablet press debuts with
other latest technologies
Following the market
launch of the Kilian KTP
420X single-sided rotary
press at interpack last year,
Romaco Kilian’s double-sided
version, the Kilian KTP 720X,
made its debut during
ACHEMA 2015.
This high speed press,
designed for manufacturing
mono and bi-layer formats,
compresses up to 1,020,000
tablets an hour.
High speed tablet press on show
Both presses in the KTP X
series are eminently suited
for processing temperature
sensitive products like
Ibuprofen or Metformin.
Optimal cleanability in
mono mode and rapid batch
changes were key design
priorities. Thanks to the
large HMI panel with swipe
functionality, the Romaco
tablet presses are also very
simple to operate.
Romaco is the first
manufacturer worldwide to
offer high tech tablet presses
featuring the integrated
CWC system,
which measures
the weight
of the tablets
continuously
while they are
being produced.
Also demonstrated
was the Macofar
MicroMaxX 18
microdosing machine,
a new solution for aseptic
microdosing. Designed
to be flexible, the Macofar
MicroMaxX 18 is equally
suitable for processing
pharmaceutical powders
or sterile liquids and meets
all the requirements for
downstream freeze-drying.
With its acquisition of
Innojet Herbert Hüttlin in
February 2015, the Romaco
Group says it became the
first supplier in the world to
manage the entire process
chain for manufacturing
and packing pharmaceutical
solids. Romaco Innojet’s
high efficiency solutions
for gentle granulation and
coating processes are based
on the patented air flow bed
technology. This method
allows up to 75% shorter
processing times compared
to conventional technologies.
The Romaco Innojet exhibit
included the Varioscale VS 40
system module, billed as the
world’s first coating system for
totally variable batch sizes,
which represents the ideal
choice for solid particles such
as tablets of any size and
shape as well as soft or hard
gelatine capsules.

Application specific drives are
configured by the company
Drives are used for
process technology
applications
At the German show, Nord Drive
Systems presented distributed
drive concepts that meet the
typical demands of the process
industry.
Variable-speed drives with
IP66/IP69K ingress protection
are suitable for applications that
require regular cleaning with
high-pressure steam jets. All
components are manufactured in
house: gearboxes, smooth-surface
motors, and frequency inverters.
The nsd tupH anti-corrosion
treatment – developed by Nord
and FDA-certified – gives the
aluminium housings a smooth
and durable surface. Even blows
and scratches do not impair the
corrosion resistance since no
coating is applied but the surface
itself is hardened, so there can be
no pollution of products or process
media such as with chipping paint.

Conveying solution provides a
comprehensive peanut system
ClearView Junior MU J-A 2015_MU 23/06/2015 16:41 Page 1
Spiroflow has introduced
a new conveying solution
that effectively provides
a ‘one stop’ peanut handling
system for food processors.
Two solutions are available
to handle easy to damage and
fragile peanuts. Cableflow
cable drag conveyors and
Aeroflow aeromechanical
conveyors can be used,
depending on delivery speed
and volume requirements.
Peanut butter processing is
best served by the Aeroflow
system which can convey
at higher speeds, both
horizontally and vertically,
with minor degradation. The
Cableflow system, however, is
better suited to applications
that require whole nuts with
virtually zero degradation.
THE AEROFLOW SYSTEM
CONVEYS NUTS AT UP TO
10,000KG
an hour in operation
Spiroflow says these
conveyors are ideal to use
with its bulk bag dischargers
to bring together not only the
volume of delivery of peanuts,
but also salt stabilisers and any
other ingredients required.
The flexible screw conveyor
is ideal for salt conveying.
Peanuts are usually
blanched or roasted prior
to processing and may be
supplied with skins attached
or removed. These new
systems can handle the nuts
in either state.
“Our conveying, discharging
and filling systems are
designed bespoke for each
customer and undergo full
scale system trials in our
UK Technology Centre,”
explains Spiroflow’s chairman
Michel Podevyn.

Doy Zip bag styles are handled
at speed on new vertical bagger
Bosch Packaging
Technology says that
nut, chocolate and
confectionery manufacturers
can refresh their brands
and increase shelf appeal
without sacrificing production
efficiency with its new SVE
2520 DZ vertical bagger with
Doy Zip functionality. It is
claimed as the fastest bagger
with this functionality
currently on the market.
The compact continuous
motion machine produces
up to 100 Doy Zip bags per
minute and offers all of the
most popular bag styles
as well as additional
options. To demonstrate
the benefits of the
Doy Zip bag style
produced on the vertical
machine, Bosch has created
an information platform at
www.doyzip.com. This site
outlines criteria to consider
when selecting the ideal
packaging equipment for
Doy Zip and there is a facility
for brand owners to order
sample bags.

Packaging Technology.
The premium quality,
attractive shape and glossy
finish of Doy Zip bags help
drive greater visibility and
consumer preference for food
products at the point of sale,
says Lagarde. “Doy Zip
from Bosch helps brands
stand out on the shelf and
opens up new opportunities
to meet consumer demands
of easy opening and also

Bosch believes this Doy Zip
bagger offers manufacturers
significant production
flexibility to help keep up with
changing market conditions.
The SVE 2520 DZ combines
a small footprint of only
six square metres with
high speed. Continuous
motion coupled with a
unique zipper applicator
(patent pending) ensures
this high speed.
Higher output per square
metre compared to alternative
solutions results in lower costper-bag
and a higher return
on investment.
The machine produces
seven different bag styles:
pillow, gusseted, block
bottom, corner seal, full

Depositor creates opportunities

Baker Perkins believes
the addition of soft
centred double ball
lollipops to the capability of its

the diversity of product
concepts in the lollipop sector
as this new option creates
opportunities for lollipops
with contrasting textures.
Centres such as chocolate,

by a hard candy outer, and
there are virtually limitless
potential varieties of colour
and flavour.

ifm Telephone 020 8213 2222
The concept of soft-centred
single ball and flat lollipops
has been around for some
time, says the company but
what the development of a
double ball version adds is the
opportunity to combine two
lollipops into one. For example,
a soft-centred ball joined to a
standard, hard-filled or even
another soft-filled ball to
enable a range of truly unique
products to be created.
This is an extension of
depositing technology that
is already well proven for
making hard candies with
soft centres and lollipops
with hard centres. Soft centre
lollipops can only be made
by the depositing process
because of the extreme
accuracy of deposit and stick
placement required.
Existing ServoForm
depositing systems can easily
be adapted to take advantage
of this new capability for
customers to develop
new products.

Noshe has further
developed the design
of its bottle combiner
to meet the changing
requirements of its customer
Ardagh Glass.
Project engineer at Ardagh
Glass Ian Beach approached
Noshe with a requirement to
combine different bottles from
two separate conveyor lines
PACKAGING
either on a ‘one to one’ basis or
any selected number. Building
on the success of its intelligent
starwheels, the new starwheel
combiner
SYSTEMS
consists of an
intelligent starwheel on each
line, where their operation
is slightly offset to ensure
the smooth meshing of the
bottles, says Noshe.
Once set, the units
continuously monitor their
offset and synchronising to
ensure it remains constant.
To cater for additional
customer requirements, the
system can be operated in
standard and/or advanced
modes. In the standard mode,
the unit combines on a ‘one
to one’ basis, however if one
infeed line becomes starved
of bottles, the other will run
at a higher speed to maintain
constant throughput.
In advanced mode, the
unit will combine on a ‘one
to one’ basis (or any selected
number) but will pause if
either infeed line becomes
starved. To ensure the correct
pack format, when both lines
are primed with bottles, it will
restart ensuring the correct
bottle is released first.
The combiner has been
installed at Ardagh’s plant in
Sweden and has proved to
be extremely successful in
operation. “The starwheel
combiner has exceeded our
expectations and we look
forward to working with Noshe
on future projects,” says Beach.

a specific problem
surrounding windscreen
washers fitted in Jaguars,
BMWs and Volvos that are
produced by Flexi-Cell UK.
The company was
experiencing blockages in
the tubing it produced which
stopped it from working in
the end applications. These
blockages in the tubing caused
problems with the flow of fluid
through to the washer.
CONTINUOUS LENGTHS
OF RUBBER TUBING AT
100,000
metres per manufacturing
slot are produced by the
automotive product specialist
“We couldn’t find a way
round it in-house, so we were
desperate for a solution,”
explains Flexi-Cell project
manager John English.
Anritsu devised an x-ray
system that integrates into the
manufacturing process line to
detect any of these faults.
Rubber tubing is extruded
in continuous lengths and
if the x-ray system detects
any blockage, it activates an
alarm and a printer to spray
yellow paint on the tubing
where the blockage has
occurred. This faulty section
is then discarded so it cannot
enter the windscreen washer
manufacturing process.
Flexi-Cell chose Antritsu to
supply the x-ray system after
approaching a number of
companies with the specific
challenge. “I contacted each
company to see which ones
were prepared to run trials
with us and Antritsu were the
only company to offer that,”

Achilled, frozen and
dehydrated potato
products company has
installed seven vertical form,
fill and seal machines to fulfil
increased volume demand for
its range of products that are
marketed as a high quality
offering.
Mydibel is a Belgium based
food producer that processes
150 million bags (225,000
tonnes) of finished potato
products each year marketed
under its own name as well
as private label brands.
Key to its success is its
commitment to consistently
delivering the highest product
quality. “The first thing our
customers see is the bag, so it
has to look perfect,” explains
Roger Mylle who founded
Mydibel in 1988.
Bosch Packaging
Technology’s vertical SVC
4020 was chosen to pack
these potato products in 500g
to 2.5kg pillow packs at speeds
of up to 70 bags a minute.
It was also selected because
its continuous motion solution
was designed to prevent
contamination and allow for
simple cleaning.
Meeting the latest hygienic
design standards and
requirements for Mydibel is
of paramount importance
especially with the increased
emphasis on food safety
demanded by today’s
consumers, customers and
international authorities.
“Quality is the essence
of the Mydibel
philosophy and we
expect the same
from our suppliers,”
says Mydibel
Group ceo Carlo
Mylle. “The SVC
bagger from
Bosch meets
our needs
perfectly as
thanks to
its easyto-clean
design,
high quality bags
and flexible set up, the new
technology helps us to keep
our customers happy and
loyal to our brand.”
The SVC has many features
that make it ideal for hygienic
packaging environments
and its design allows for
the highest hygiene levels,
says Bosch.
Contamination is prevented
by having rulers engraved
for easy and thorough
cleaning. Additionally, tilted
surfaces and rounded corners
means potato residues are
not trapped, reducing the
possibility of any bacterial
build up and ensuring the
consistent high quality of
Mydibel products.
Mydibel operators benefit
from the open frame design
of the bagger
and user
friendly HMI
which further
contributes to
time savings on
maintenance,
cleaning and
running.
The SVC offers
bag sizes from 260
– 400mm and is able
to run pillow, block
bottom, gusseted and
corner seal bag styles.
It also offers heat seal,
PE sealing and ultrasonic
sealing technologies.
“The SVC 4020 is 20-25%
faster than the previous
generation of vertical baggers
and technologically more
advanced,” points out Mylle.
“It reduces product waste and
also downtime.”

Thermoformers answer need
for increased smoked salmon
Capacity as well as
cost problems for its
increasing smoked
salmon slice business have
been overcome at Young’s
Seafood with the installation
of two thermoforming
packaging lines from
Multivac. Indeed, the new
lines have performed so well
that a follow-up order has
already been placed.
Prior to installation, the
smoked salmon slices had
been placed by hand in film
pouches and then vacuumpacked
manually. This was a
time consuming procedure,
which was no longer practical
given the increasing demand,
since it limited the production
quantities and was very
labour-intensive. Higher
requirements by a supermarket
customer with regard to the
type and appearance of
the packaging also contributed
to the need to automate.
The fish producer’s
requirements of its processing
and packaging procedures are
very high and the investment
was based on a projected
labour saving of several
The HMI makes operation simple
The two Multivac lines are arranged parallel to each other so that both can be operated from the same point
people per year that could be
deployed elsewhere in the
business.
After the specification had
been defined and the costs of
the project had been approved
by the company management,
Young’s conducted a
selection procedure with
several packaging machine
manufacturers. From this,
Multivac emerged as the victor
in May 2014 and just three
months later, two automated
thermoforming packaging
lines were operating at the
production site in Grimsby.
Young’s had decided on
two R 245 thermoforming
packaging machines.
Here, the thermoformed pack
cavities in flexible film are
loaded with a thin board,
onto which the smoked
salmon slices are arranged
attractively. The pack is then
sealed with a printed upper
and base web and then
labelled. The finished packs
are picked and packed in
boxes manually.
This partially automated
process enables Young’s to
achieve higher productivity:
the two R 245 machines
operate at ten to twelve
cycles per minute. Each cycle
produces up to eight packs
of salmon which in practice,
sees the production quantity
increasing to up to 96 packs
per minute.
Thanks to their high level
of automation, the
thermoforming
packaging
machines have
also increased
the process
reliability and
flexibility of
production
enormously.
With the
machines’
640mm long
forming dies,
Young’s can
produce
both 640mm
and 532mm die format cut
off lengths, reducing the
number of changeparts and
changeover time dramatically.
The lifting units of the
R 245’s are operated by
servo motors, so that their
movements can be very
precisely controlled as regards

Biscuit wrap
line provides
stack variety
A particularly versatile feeding
and wrapping line, capable of
presenting stacked biscuits in a
variety of different formats,
has been built for a major
European bakery by SPS Italiana
Pack Systems, part of the Italian
PFM Group.
Many stack formats are created
Formats chosen by the bakery
include single and twin stacks of
both round and square products
as well as larger packs with
up to four stacks supported
by a U-board tray, created on
the wrapping machine from
reelstock. Speed is up to 1600
biscuits a minute.
“Demand for machinery to
create portion packs of biscuits
has grown substantially over the
past few years, reflecting the
trend towards more snacking,”
says PFM sales and operations
director Chris Bolton.
“This line provides the
opportunity to switch easily
between products and formats.”
The SPS line includes a
handling arrangement to accept
biscuits from cooling with lane
reduction from 20 to 10 and
24 to 12, before feeding into a
stack formation system that
is programmable for variable
quantities. Here, the biscuits
are shingled at a low angle, which
can be increased towards vertical

Coding offline to meet
retail dessert pot needs
An RF2 offline sleeve
coding system from
Rotech has given Pots &
Co a flexible coding solution,
enabling the rapidly growing
artisan dessert producer to
take on and fulfil major retail
contracts while minimising
capital outlay.
Pots & Co produces a retail
range of high end desserts
which are handmade and
packed in individual ceramic
ramekins with plastic lids and
an outer cardboard sleeve.
The boutique company has
grown exponentially since it
was founded by Julian Dyer
in 2010 and today, it produces
60,000 desserts a week which
are destined for 500 Tesco
stores, 300 Waitrose stores and
other retailers such as Booths
and Selfridges.
These volume increases has
meant its coding requirements
have also changed which is
why it installed an RF2 friction
feed overprinting system.
As the dessert production
process is completely manual,
Pots & Co wanted an offline
coder while also requiring a
fast coder.
“We produce between 10,000
and 12,000 desserts a day, five
days week, depending on what
offers we have on with Tesco
or Waitrose,” explains Pots &
Co operations director Fraser
Thomson. “We needed a coder
that could keep pace with those
Desserts are packed in ramekins with plastic lids and an outer sleeve
volumes.” The RF2 standalone
system allows the company to
code sleeves offline and bring
them to the production line
already printed. Engineered
specifically for the food
industry, the RF2 uses
Rotech’s stack-to-stack feeding
technology to pick sleeves
from a stack, accurately print
date or batch codes, and place
the printed sleeve neatly onto
another stack for collection,
The standalone friction feed overprinting system operates at 400 a minute
all at speeds of 400 a minute.
In this way, Pots & Co could
pre-code the sleeves for an
entire day’s production in less
than an hour.
The system, which has
been in use at Pots & Co since
last May, is running off about
60,000 sleeves per week.
“The RF2 prints date and
batch codes with ease in the
correct position each and
every time and we no longer
have the worry of poorly
printed eligible codes which
can be resultant of hand
stamping,” says Thomson.
Also, when Pots & Co
launched a new duo pot
format towards the end of
last year, it had problems
running the new sleeve on the
Rotech machine but further
modifications have allowed
these new, glossy sleeves to
run reliably.

Crisp wraps stretched
to achieve cost saving
Seabrook Crisps has not
only reduced its
material costs
with the installation of
two new stretchwrappers
but increased load
containment of its
palletised boxes. Indeed,
projected cost savings over
the next three years stand at
about £50,000 with a £4,000
saving in the first year despite
the cost of the new machines.
Manufacturing manager at
Seabrook Crisps Lee Burkill is
tasked with keeping abreast
of the latest technologies
that can reduce costs while
increasing operational
efficiencies. “It’s my job to
maintain an efficient and cost
effective operation without
compromising the quality
of our product, which is our
number one priority,” he says.
“So when the guys at Antalis
Packaging recommended a
new and more efficient stretch
wrapping solution that would
not only save us money, but
also increase the integrity of
our palletised crisp boxes, we
were keen to listen.”
The packaging and
logistics department at the
crisp producer had been
struggling with its existing
stretch wrapping system
for some time, which was
subject to frequent downtime
through film breakages,
as well as failing to cope
with the fragility of the boxes
when obtaining the right film
tension to contain the load
securely in transit.
A Lantech semi-automatic
stretch wrapper was trialled to
prove the operational benefits
A number of pallets were
therefore taken off site to trial
a Lantech semi-automatic
stretch wrapping solution,
used in conjunction with
a new stretch film offered by
Antalis Packaging
called FiberFilm.
“The results were
outstanding and it
was clear that by
investing in new
equipment and
switching to a
superior stretch
film, we would not
only increase
output, we could
also see there were
significant cost
savings to be achieved,” says
Burkill.
This also gave Burkill the
evidence he needed to get
the company’s commitment
to invest in two
new Lantech semiautomatic
Q300
stretch wrapping
solutions fitted
with special mast
extensions to cope
with the 2.2m high
crisp pallets, and
also switch use to
FiberFilm.
“Previously,
we were using on
average around
250gm of standard
stretch film per
pallet, but with
the new Lantech/
FiberFilm
solution, we have
got this down to
around 85gm per
pallet,” says
Burkill.
“So, not only are
we using less film,
the cost per roll is
also less giving us
a double saving.”

Kliklok has worked closely with
the Weetabix Food Company over
recent years and has installed a
number of automatic cartoning
lines at its Kettering site to
pack Alpen cereal bars and
Weetabix biscuits.
Due to layout changes in
one of the packing lines at the
Kettering site, Kliklok is now
working on another new project
to automatically accept wraps of
biscuits arriving ‘on edge’ from
a buffer storage unit and rotating
them through 90 degrees, prior
to being cartoned. To achieve
this, Kliklok is designing two
modified versions of its rotary
transfer system (RTS). This is a
continuous motion system that
uses a series of turret arms which
rotate in a cam track, the arms
then lower and close a ‘pocket’
around the product to provide
a gentle 90 degree transfer
at speeds of up to 220 products
per minute.
The two new RTS units are
scheduled for installation over
the coming months.
For Alpen bars, Weetabix
chose a pair of Kliklok’s ECT500
top load carton/glue erectors,
which were modified to run a
5-pack and 10-pack, while another
success was a joint project with
CKF Systems, providing two
automated lines for wrapped
packs of Weetabix biscuits.
Each line included Kliklok’s
Celox cartoner, running at speeds
up to 200 cartons per minute,
and incorporating laser coders,
a low level carton hopper, plus

BARA (British Automation & Robot Association) believes that having the latest robots in colleges would help attract students to engineering
Robots are the answer
Chairman of BARA Mike Wilson argues that robots can not only address
labour shortages but also play a key role in exciting young engineers
Food manufacturing employs
more people, about 400,000,
than any other manufacturing
sector in the UK but is facing
challenges in terms of an aging
workforce. It is predicted that 40% of the
employees, about 160,000 people, will
need to be replaced by 2020. This will
impact all aspects of these businesses
including engineers, team leaders
and managers.
Migrant workers have provided
a significant source of labour and
currently account for about 20% of the
workforce. However, this will prove more
challenging in the future, partly due to
increasing restrictions on immigration
and also as many, particularly Eastern
Europeans, return to their home countries
as they in turn develop and employment
prospects improve.
To minimise the impact of this potential
labour shortage it is necessary to ensure
the workforce is utilised as efficiently as
possible and not undertaking mundane,
arduous or repetitive tasks. These can
and should be handled by automation.
In most cases, there is a need for flexibility,
to ensure the changing requirements of
consumers and the retail outlets can be
met. Therefore the use of robot solutions
should be high on the priorities of all food
manufacturers.
However, this presents other challenges,
particularly the lack of knowledge and
experience regarding the implementation
and operation of robot systems within
the food sector. There have been many
successful installations but these are
only the start and there needs to be a step
change in the implementation of robots
if the challenges of the labour shortages
are to be addressed.
The Food and Drink Federation,
supported by many of the major member
companies, is driving significant growth
in the numbers of technical apprentices.
This will be part of the solution but we
also need more engineers to implement
these automation solutions. The food
sector is competing with many other
industrial sectors for the best engineers.
To meet these demands we need to
increase the number of engineers coming
out of our universities and colleges.
This requires more students to be excited
by engineering when they are at school.
Robotics provides an excellent tool which
can generate this excitement and interest.
There are annual Lego robot competitions

and many schools already participate.
However, when these same school
children look at colleges they see outdated
equipment which provides the wrong
image for engineering. If many more of
our colleges had robotic equipment
this would build on the interest already
stimulated in schools and encourage more
to take engineering courses.
ENGINEERING EDUCATION
Robots also provide an excellent tool
for engineering education because they
encompass mechanical, electrical,
electronic and software engineering
as well as providing an opportunity
to perform ‘real world’ projects. If our
Government really wishes to assist
UK manufacturing to grow and prosper
it could do a lot worse than providing
funds to colleges to invest in the latest
industrial robot technologies.
In the overall scheme of things the
actual investment would not be that high
and the return, in terms of increasing
numbers of engineers, for all of our
industry including food manufacturing,
would be very significant. With engineers
in place we would then be able to
implement the automation solutions
required to utilise our workforces
effectively and address the future labour
shortages, leading to more competitive
and more profitable businesses. This in
turn leads to a more prosperous economy
with resulting benefits for all.

Looking to
the future
with vision
Machinery Update talks to members of
UKIVA about the latest developments that
will ‘enable’ vision to progress even further
as well as some of the newer applications
SUMMARY
VISION TRENDS
The ever-expanding range of
uses for vision systems serves to
reinforce the concept of vision
as an ‘enabling technology’
which, says UKIVA (UK
Industrial Vision Association) members
is set to continue into the future.
As well as, of course, any completely new
developments that are still in the pipeline.
The recent announcement that Sony
will discontinue wafer production of its
CCD image sensors in 2016, leading to a
phased withdrawal of their availability,
has paved the way for an increased
emphasis on cameras with CMOS sensors.
“CCD imagers have traditionally given
the best image quality, but CMOS sensors
proved popular because of their lower
cost and their ability to support higher
frame rates,” says Mark Williamson of
Stemmer Imaging. “Now we are seeing a
new generation of CMOS sensors which
are actually outperforming CCDs in terms
of image quality as well.”
Steve Hearn at IDS Imaging &
Development Systems agrees. “The huge
developments in CMOS sensor technology
led us to stop engineering new CCD
cameras three years ago to concentrate
solely on CMOS cameras,” he says.
Ian Alderton from Alrad Imaging notes,
however, that CCD sensors available from
other manufacturers will still be utilised
in lower volume applications. He also
points out that new CMOS sensors are
leading to cameras with higher frame
rates at higher resolution. “This means
that some applications that were only
possible using line scan cameras can
now be handled by area scan cameras,”
he says. “The extra data produced by
these cameras can be handled by both
the popular GigE Vision standard and the
newer USB3 Vision standard.”
3D ROBOT GUIDANCE
Interestingly, 3D imaging continues
to be the most frequently visited page
on the ‘What is Vision’ section on the
UKIVA website (see end of article) and
Paul Wilson of Scorpion Vision believes
that 3D robot guidance will change the
landscape, especially within the food
manufacturing industry.
“3D is a very robust way of achieving
robot guidance because it is less likely to
fail due to changing ambient conditions,”
says Wilson. “In addition, the wide
range of 3D methods available means
that the best one can be chosen to suit
■ ■ Increased emphasis on cameras with
CMOS sensors
■ ■ Continuing growth of 3D imaging
■ ■ Correct illumination is a crucial factor
■ ■ Vision providing Industry 4.0 data
the application. He also believes that
the use of multiple sensors and multiple
light sources in one housing creates very
flexible 3D systems.
Alun Reece at Loop Technology reports
on dynamic labelling applications where
the use of 3D imaging allows robots to
distinguish between mixed products
orientation and surface texture to label
only specific products in a mixed batch.
Vision systems have also been used in
conjunction with ‘collaborative robots’ to
reduce production speeds, according to
Ying Zhang at RNA Automation.
Getting the illumination correct
is a crucial factor in a vision system.
LEDs have become the most widely
used illumination sources, but novel
approaches to illumination control
can bring further benefits. Stemmer’s
Williamson believes that integrating
lighting control with the operation
of the camera offers a plug and play
approach that can allow non-expert
users access to expert machine vision

more suitable products become readily
available and are designed with OEM’s in
mind. “This trend is further enhanced by
the increased support now available for
embedded OS/processors from machine
vision software products to allow mobile
and compact vision solutions to be
created,” she says.
Steve Hearn from IDS agrees.
“A growing number of ARM-processorbased
single board computers such
as Raspberry Pi can be equipped with
cameras for imaging applications,” he
tells Machinery Update.
Here, robots automatically apply labels based on 3D vision identification of the product
lighting techniques. “Other approaches
include producing image sequences using
different illumination methods for special
processing to measure difficult surfaces
such as reflective ones,” he says.
“Imaging using different wavelengths
such as hyperspectral imaging is also
gaining importance.”
Ian Alderton from Alrad Imaging
also sees applications using non-visible
wavelengths gaining more popularity,
Astec Ad 182 x 80 +QR Dec 14_Layout 1 08/01/2015 16:22 Page 1
such as InGaAs sensors for Short Wave
Infra-Red imaging making use of the
strong absorption by water in the SWIR
to check dryness uniformity of coatings
or bulk material or fill levels inside
opaque packaging.
The trend for ‘out of factory’ vision
systems or products has been gaining
momentum over the last couple of
years. Julie Busby at Multipix Imaging
expects to see acceleration in this area as
INDUSTRY 4.0
Vision is already fundamentally involved
in many factory automation projects
and will inevitably become a part of
developments in the automation of
manufacturing processes as outlined
in ‘Industry 4.0’. Allan Anderson at
Clearview Imaging sees this as being
particularly important for the vision
industry. “As image sensor resolutions
and scan rates increase, vision systems
will produce ever-increasing amounts

Vacuum grippers
bring benefits to
many industries
It is not just the sheer range
of vacuum gripping solutions
available from French supplier
Joulin that has ensured its
success in the UK and Ireland
over the years, but also the
technical back up and expertise
that comes with them.
Long term customer Robotics
& Drives, for instance, is entering
its fourth year of trading and
continues to be impressed with
the company and its UK and
Ireland agent MAR. “What we
get from Joulin is a solution; not
just a collection of parts but a
working solution, and whatever
level of technical cooperation and
testing is appropriate to the job in
hand,” explains Stephen Nolan,
engineering director at Robotics
& Drives, ABB’s premier Authorised
Value Provider in the Republic of
Ireland.
“Support is important and our
experience is that Joulin does not
fail on support,” he continues.
“If there is a problem whatever the
reason, whether or not the gripper
is already in production, the
support is always there including
engineering backup from France
if required and they have never
walked away.”
Ray Bland of MAR, agent for
Joulin Aero’s range of specialist
vacuum grippers, is also happy
with some of the recent projects
as they illustrate the diversity
of products the grippers can
reliably handle. MAR supplied a
Joulin custom valved gripper for
retrofitting to an existing robot
that was depalletising rows of
plastic lids for jars at a major
drinks manufacturer, for instance.
The embossed lip running around
the periphery of the light plastic
lids had caused the previous
vacuum grippers to drop a
relatively large proportion of
the lids, an issue which has now
been largely overcome.
“Joulin’s ability to ‘tune’ the
grippers’ internal design to an
application has ensured robust

handling and as a result, the
dropping of lids is now almost
completely eliminated,” Bland
tells Machinery Update.
Robotics & Drives has also
supplied Joulin grippers on its own
applications. One project was also a
retrofit, this time to a multi-national
company robotically palletising
boxes in an atmosphere laden with
dust from the boxed products.
The existing gripper required
continuing maintenance to prevent
the dust from causing the grippers
to drop the boxes.
The Joulin gripper, however,
What we get from Joulin

and debris which was why the
PalletiserPro was chosen.
In another application,
Robotics & Drives fitted Joulin
valveless FlexiGrips in a robotic
handling application performing
precise vertical placing of porous
cardboard edge protectors.
Joulin first developed the
multi-aperture or universal
vacuum gripper more than
50 years ago, but continued
development has resulted in a
wide and varied capability, with a
range of standard sizes available.
Bland says all Joulin grippers are
price-competitive within their
market and come complete and
operational, ready for interfacing
to robots or other deployment
equipment.

talks to Sick about
its smart sensors
Sick has built powerful

everyday sensors to
deliver a glimpse of the
future for manufacturing
automation. These sensors are
designed to deliver huge potential
in additional flexibility, reliability
and throughput for automated
production tasks, as well as
reducing costs and quality issues.
Smart sensors are a complete step
forward in sensing performance,
equipping photoelectric, magnetic
and proximity sensors with
powerful on-board processing
capability to optimise machine
technologies and automation on
high speed production lines.
As chip technology has enabled
more functionality to be packed
into ever more miniature devices,
Sick has identified opportunities
to integrate advanced automation
capability into the sensors
themselves.
“By building advanced
intelligence into standard sensors,
we have made sensors ‘Smart’ and
achieved a world first,” claims
David Hannaby, product manager
for presence detection at Sick UK.
“Smart sensors perform complex
process functions locally moving
them away from the PLC to the
sensor itself.
“Real time events can be locally
processed, without waiting for
the raw data to be uploaded to the
central PLC program, processed
and information extracted before

networks are avoided and demands
on the central computing functions
are massively reduced.”
Advanced functions that
have already been developed by
Sick for smart sensors include a
high speed counter, timer, false
tripping suppression, a speed and
acceleration monitor and time
based measurement function to
track and identify products for
sortation and picking. Currently,
typical sensors that can be
specified with these functions
include the W4S-3, WTB12-3
and WL12-3.
Smart sensors build on the
existing sensor capabilities and can
also share the results and data with
the control system PLCs via IO-Link
using standard sensor cables.
A wide selection of IO-link gateway
cards are available from the major
PLC manufacturers to integrate
smart sensors into automation
networks; with smart sensors able to
multi-task, many traditional sensor
tasks can be combined, reducing
equipment costs.
In operation, embedding a
high speed counting function
into a smart sensor enables high
performance monitoring and
measurement of machine speeds,
leading to accurate detection and
counting. So, for example, an
optical sensor can detect and
count products on a production
line and transfer the results to the
control system.
A smart sensor can also use
time based position measurement
to calculate product length, or
distance between objects on a
high speed conveyor, to ensure
they are the right size or in
precisely the right position, for
example for picking or dimensions
measurements of packs.
With the ability to suppress
false signals (debouncing) from
an anomalous triggering event
in difficult environments such as
sawdust and spray or with product
protrusions, smart sensors can
make real time decisions which
reduce central computing load and
network signal delays and errors.

Enhanced quality
and productivity

Schubert first trialled
3D scanners on its TLM
packaging machines
in 2013 and since then,
customers have benefited
from the increased product
quality and productivity they
have delivered. “In the correct
application performance and
yield uplifts are palpable benefits
of employing the 3D scanning
system,” explains Mark Jocelyn,
sales director at Schubert UK.
“The elimination to a large
degree of good products not picked
due to a contaminated product
belt (by being able to set the lowest
level of the vision system just above
the product belt) has been one of
the key benefits of the 3D scanner,”
he continues. Better pack quality
has also resulted as the 3D system
can flag ‘out of spec’ products
more easily.
“The ability to measure specific
heights to a tolerance of 0.5mm
adds another control parameter
to decide what goes into any given
pack,” says Jocelyn. “Weight by
volume can also be calculated with
constant density products to give
even further control.”
The first 3D scanner was supplied
for testing to the Belgian customer
Délices de Comines, who already
had several Schubert machines in
use. The site specialises in coconutbased
pastries and crispy rolled
cookies within the Poppies group.
As the company was already a
customer of Schubert equipment,
factory manager Mark Merket was
able to make a direct comparison
between the 3D scanner and the
previous image-recognition
systems.
“Between the standard cleaning
sequences, cleaning of the belt
is not required at all,” he says,
which has been a huge day to day
benefit for the company. Products

“With the new system, this is

The reputation of
the Laïta dairy
cooperative is built
as much on the
excellence of its
products as on the quality of
the relations it maintains with
its members and with its staff.
To accompany the increase
in production volumes of
the Madame Loïk whipped
cheese range at its Créhen
plant, Laïta chose a palletising
solution from Cermex, part of
the palletising/depalletising
business unit of Gebo Cermex.
Downstream from the
filling operation, a Pal-Vite
410 robotic palletising unit
simplifies the transfer of
tubs to the cooling room.
In substance, it radically
improves the well-being of
the operators assigned to this
task which was previously
carried out manually.
In addition to the required
increase in output, Laïta
has also benefited from the
pressureless and almost
individual handling of tubs
during layer preparation.
HOT FILLED TUBS
For the whipped cheese range,
the tubs are hot filled and
then cooled by going through
a cold room. Historically, the
tubs were transferred from
the filler to the cooling unit
by conveying them onto an
accumulation table at the end
of the line accommodating up
to 50 tubs. These tubs were
then moved by hand onto
metal racks stacked on top
of each other on trolleys that
were then wheeled to
the cooling unit.
Automating this process
has accelerated the transfer
towards the cooling unit while
alleviating the repetitive
task for operators. During
the project, the logic of
automating a second line
became apparent and this
new approach has reduced the
arduousness of the manual
work on both lines. Also, it
was more cost effective to

measurement and control decisions
all within a single, pre-calibrated
device – the systems contain

Gocators are available in three
variants: single point displacement
sensors measure 3D thickness,
height, and surface roughness
while laser line profile sensors
create cross-sectional profiles and
by moving an object under the
laser line, many profiles can be
combined into a full 3D shape
for volumetric analysis.
Structured-light snapshot sensors
provide powerful 3D visualisation
from stationary objects.
This choice addresses a wide
variety of non-contact applications
while 3D imaging systems also

addition of a comprehensive range
of 2D inspection and measurement
tools with full colour support has
transformed the ‘smart’ capability
of the Gocator. These tools include
image pre-processing, edge
detection, blob analysis, line, arc
and circle fitting, edge and calliper
measurement, and a flexible
selection of geometry analysis
functions.
There is also a flexible set of
functions to handle 1D barcodes
and 2D array codes. By extending
the 2D capabilities, many functions
can now be performed within the
camera itself rather than needing
additional external PC processing,
leading to a comprehensive
2D and 3D solution.
For applications where parts

At the heart of the end of

allows products to be handled at
high speed in one compact unit.
This patented robot arm offers a
large power to weight ratio and
as well as being very fast, it is
also robust enough to handle any
production environment.
When it was developed a decade
ago, it was used in a case packer.
Quin developed this machine that
today, offers high speed case filling
of up to 100 case layers a minute
while being easy to integrate into a
line as it can operate with any case
erector. It is designed to be easy
to set up and operate for different
products and case sizes and
importantly, is so compact
that it can fit into existing hand
packing factory space.
The prototype of this machine
was trialled at Fox’s Biscuits and
it was so successful that it was
never sent back. And more orders
followed.
Subsequently, Quin developed

it offers the ability to pack products
in almost any orientation,
including ‘on-edge’. And still at

Payback is also attractive at
between 12-18 months.
In both of these machines, the
robot arm acts as an enabler and
achieves the space saving required
in modern manufacturing plants
while offering fast operation. As
managing director of Quin Mike
Webb says, the end of the line in
most plants is often forgotten and
space is at a premium. “That is
why our Versapack machine in
particular scores in this area.”
Case packing bags or stand up
pouches on-edge presents more
challenges than rigid cartons
which has led to the company’s
latest development. Indeed, Webb
believes that how you present a
product to the robot is always the
trickiest bit. “Infeed is key to a
successful end of line operation
and we have modified our existing
system to handle stand up
pouches, doypacks, stabilo and
pillow packs,” he says.
Customers have been asking for
a way to handle bags in the last 18
months which has resulted in the
new vertical on-edge infeed system
for the Versapack top loading case
erector/packer. The main benefit
of the new system is the small
footprint and also the minimal
changeparts it requires.
This new infeed is now in

packs and pouches for its products.

As well as working on
modifying the existing range
of electronic tablet equipment,
the latest MVT/PPS evolution
is designed as a machine
vision inspection system and
has a flat belt tablet feeder
between the last vibrating tray
and the output of the machine.
This means the tablets are
lying flat and are evenly

designed to reject individual
tablets as they leave the belt
based on the good/bad status
of the tablet.
This system will inspect
the tablets for width, length,
area and colour in addition to
thickness and will ensure only
good product is discharged
for further processing.
This system can inspect up
to 10,000 tablets per minute
but is scalable to suit any
application.
Initially, MVT was
approached by PPS after
the company identified
an opportunity to offer its
customers the benefits of
machine vision by creating

The purpose of the

In the pharmaceutical
industry, cross contamination,
if left undetected before it
leaves the manufacturer, can

This continuous tracking of
numerous tablets, with their

it will be in the next image and
match its new position and
orientation in the new image.

CAMERA POSITION
Each camera positioned above
the tray images six lanes of
tablets. Each tablet is typically
inspected ten or more times
as it passes from top to bottom
through the camera’s Field
Of View. The main problem
to overcome was the product
appearing to be either good or
bad at any one instant in time
depending on which face it
was presenting to the camera
as it feeds. To overcome this
issue, MVT spent over a
year developing some very
sophisticated tablet tracking
software that tracks each
individual tablet.
As the tablets leave the tray
and get counted into a bottle,
the vision system outputs
the tablet inspection result.
Once the inspection returns
a ‘good’ result for a tablet it
is ‘locked-in’ as good, even if
it then bounces onto an edge
and so appears to be ‘bad’
in subsequent inspections.
The tablet must be deemed
‘good’ in at least one image,
otherwise it is ‘bad’, and when
a bad tablet is detected the
bottle will be rejected.

How starting small
could unlock the
path to automation
As someone with
over 30 years of
experience in
robotics, it’s a
source of great
personal frustration for me to see
the UK languishing in the lower
regions of the list of developed
countries using robotic
automation,” says Mike Wilson,
general industry sales and
marketing manager at ABB
Robotics UK and Ireland.
“With only 28 robots per 10,000
non-automotive employees, the UK
trails in 21st place in the world,”
he continues. Based on his own
experience, Wilson says he can
think of hundreds of potential
applications that could benefit
from using robots, particularly
in the SME sector.
Yet, says Wilson, it doesn’t
have to be this way. He believes
that when it comes to robot-based
automation, starting small and
simple can bring tangible benefits
while allowing production teams
and management to get used to
this new technology.
There is now a growing raft of
packaged robotic systems available
that offer great opportunities for
smaller companies in particular
to take their first steps into the
world of robotic automation, he
says. Pitched at a readily affordable
price and offering simple set up
and programming, these systems
offer an attractive opportunity for
anyone keen on introducing robotic
automation into their operation.
“Our own robots are increasingly
featuring in small-scale cellular
systems that give users a simple yet
effective way of automating a wide
variety of processes, from picking
and packing through to machine
tool loading and unloading,” he
tells Machinery Update.

and stable stack. Pacepacker
also painted the Blu-Robot white
for aesthetic purposes – so that the
production facility would always
look clean.
It took two days to install and
commission, and was ready for
duty by Christmas Eve last year.
It’s early days, but so far Microferm
is delighted with the difference
the Blu-Robot has made to its
operation.
A re-conditioned robot is proving a productivity
hit as production increases of 25% are achieved
Investing in a Blu-Robot from
Pacepacker Services has
enabled Microferm, a UK
producer of marine source
minerals, to increase the
efficiency of its packing and
palletising operation by 25%.
With business expanding the
company was keen to make its
operation more efficient and,
after speaking to others who had
invested in reconditioned
Blu-Robots from Pacepacker,
managing director John Smith was
convinced it was the way to go.
“On the face of it, a new robot
didn’t appear to cost much more,
but when we factored in all the
extras, the Blu-Robot came out
very favourably,” he explains.
Microferm also liked the fact that
Pacepacker offered a complete
package that includes end-of-arm
tooling, controls and a 12-month
warranty with service and spares
back-up, as well as guarding,
conveying equipment and also
installation.
Given the dusty nature of the
product and the long journey to
its final destination, gentle
handling and precise placement
were two very important factors
in the project.
“All of the minerals produced in
this factory are exported, mainly
to the USA and Asia, so we wanted
a solution that would guarantee a
secure stack and would handle the
sacks gently to avoid any tearing
or damage,” explains Smith.
The Blu-Robot supplied to

“We’ve increased our production
by 25% and, as the robot isn’t
anywhere near flat out, there’s
plenty of scope to ramp up
production further when
we need to,” says Smith.
“The Blu-Robot is performing as
per our expectations and we’re
impressed with its reliability and
with the overall service we’ve
received from Pacepacker.”
Microferm is now looking at
moving over to pinch bottom
sacks as a means of improving bag
presentation and seal integrity.
The company has subsequently
purchased two Pacepacker pinch
bottom heat sealers, which work
by folding and sealing stepped
end paper sacks via hot air jets
that reactivate pre-applied hot
melt adhesive.
The sack is fed into the feeder
that then automatically creases the
top, heats it and folds it over and
finally presses it to a tight seal.

“For many tasks, full vision systems
can be seen as overkill, with too many
functions, too complex and overly
expensive,” says Richard Neill, product
marketing manager at Balluff.
Balluff’s BVS-E Universal vision sensors
with integral processing electronics,
lighting and two digital outputs are
therefore designed to overcome this
barrier. It is described as a genuine allrounder
because it combines the functions
of the proven BVS-E Advanced with BVS-E
Ident vision sensors in a single device.
“Thanks to its particularly high
performance contour-based image
processing tools, all parts can be localised
in any position, inspected and counted,”
explains Neill. “In doing so, it is possible to
transfer the arrangement and position of
the parts via the RS232 interface.
“The sensor also offers particularly fast
and secure reading of 1D barcodes and
2D data matrix codes,” he continues.
“Up to 40 codes can be localised, read
and verified per second which is what
makes it unique.”
This Universal sensor offers many
benefits to the user by consolidating a
variety of functions into one compact
model which means it can be utilised for
many different applications to reduce
time in sensor selection and warehouse
stock. With a full range of accessories
available including mounting solutions
and additional lighting modules, the
BVS-E is designed to offer a standalone

The Cama BreakThrough generation of equipment can answer specific market needs easily
Robotic vision
brings savings
Cama Group says end of line automation can
be an option for medium speed production lines
Cama Group develops systems to
cope with high speed production
or medium capacity lines that
include vision driven robots to
meet specific market needs.
Renato Dell-Oro of Cama believes a
flexible packaging line is essential as,
for instance, more and more retailers
demand packs that include a variety
of products and flavours to be packed
in shelf ready packaging.
The IG 270 is the modular robotic
loading unit that Cama developed to
load different pack flavours. In this case,
vision driven robots are used in line for
spouted pouches containing different
products destined for the same case.
In operation, pouches arrive on a flat
conveyor where the robots, thanks to
artificial vision, pick up the pouches
and place these well-ordered products
in a pocket conveyor taking them to the
monobloc top loading unit.
What stands out from this Cama
solution is the reduced footprint achieved
thanks to patented anti-collision
software, says Dell-Oro. The Cama Delta
robots are sharing common working
space and so one can work close to the
other generating a space reduction of up
to 40% over standard models.
Cama equipment also accommodates
the needs of manufacturers handling
smaller production volumes. Its monobloc
loading unit comprising a box forming
machine, Delta robot for pick and place
and a robotic closing unit can handle up
to 500 incoming products per minute with
an output of 30 boxes a minute. And this
can all be achieved in a 2 x 3 metre space.

Helping to develop
next generation kit
AUK manufacturer of
vertical form, fill and
seal (VFFS) equipment
has boosted machine
speeds by 30%, ramped
up efficiencies and is about to
launch a new continuous-motion
range thanks largely to drives and
controls from Omron.
“The majority of our sales are
into the food industry – packing
everything from carrots and
frozen veg to sweets, spices or
crisps,” says managing director
of Line Equipment John Blashkiw.
“Customers will often ask about
speeds before they ask about the
cost and over the past three years
or so, with our all-servo machines,
throughput has risen dramatically
from 70 bags per minute up to
100 bags per minute.”
That leap in speed came largely
thanks to the upgrade some 18
months ago from Omron’s CJ1 PLC
to the faster, next-generation CP2,
he adds.
Line efficiencies have also
benefited. “We’ve had no problems
since we’ve been using Omron
components,” says Blashkiw.
“When we install a system, it will
generally have to hit at least 98%
efficiency as that’s pretty much the
industry standard now.”
Energy savings are another of the
incentives for a move to the latest
servo drives, says Line Equipment.
“If you look at the energy
requirements of a pneumatic
machine, the jaw closing
mechanism on a VFFS machine,
which is just one part of the
cycle, needs 15 cubic feet per
minute (cfm) of compressed air,”
Omron’s CP2 PLC has boosted speeds
Controlling
efficiencies
Omron’s new
servo drives on
the sealing jaws
offer excellent
energy savings
he says. “That’s a compressor
continuously working away in the
background.”
Reliability is another key factor.
“Using the Omron’s control system,
even on the coldest winter’s
morning, you’ve got an almost
100% guarantee that the equipment
will start up,” says Blashkiw.
As well as the PLC, G5 servo drive
and SmartStep servo drives, Line
Equipment integrates Omron’s
NS8 human machine interface
(HMI). “As well as the speed, it
reports the diagnostics and seven
day production tables, so you
can see the number of filled and
empty packs,” explains Blashkiw.
“Integrating heating controls into
the HMI tidies up the design so that
we don’t have fit in secondary sets
of controls.”
The partnership with Omron
also allows customers to feel in
control of their own equipment,
says Line Equipment.
“The fact that we are using an
off-the-shelf PLC and HMI is a
selling tool for us,” says Blashkiw.
“The customer does not have
to come back through us and
it’s a quick fix in the event of a
breakdown, for example.”
As he explains, Omron’s drives
and controls allow Line Equipment
to offer systems which are low cost
as well as reliable.
Now Omron is supporting Line
Equipment in the development
of its next generation of VFFS
machines which will be
continuous-motion units. “With
the support of our supplier, we
hope to have a machine ready
to show at the PPMA Show in
September this year,” he says.

IDS has developed
a vision option to
offer flexibility
USB 3.0 connectivity,
now standard on PCs,
is proving to be highly
popular for industrial
cameras. This is largely
because the camera can be plugged
directly into the computer without
needing a frame grabber, and data
can be transmitted at high rates
over significant distances. However,
users generally face a choice – they
either buy a camera that comes
with its own proprietary software
and drivers for interfacing, or one
that uses the AIA industry standard
‘USB3 Vision’ interface. Today, USB
camera specialists IDS Imaging
Development Systems is providing
the best of both worlds by being the
first manufacturer to offer identical
camera models with a choice of
USB3 Vision or proprietary driver
package.
“Switching from one version
to another at a later date is easily
possible by updating the firmware,
giving the ultimate in flexibility,”
The test chart at the top is obtained

sensor having a longer exposure time
Switching is

Identical camera
models with a
choice of USB3
vision or
proprietary
driver package

explains Steve Hearn of IDS.
Some users want the flexibility
of being able to exchange USB 3
cameras as required, regardless of
the manufacturer, without the need
for any changes to the software.
In these cases, cameras operating to
the AIA USB 3 Vision manufacturerindependent
standard protocol
are the preferred choice. However,
many other users want to utilise
the widest range of functionality
available from the camera.
CMOS image sensors provide a
host of capabilities, but not all of
these functions are supported in
the USB3 Vision standard, so the
proprietary software approach is
the preferred way to make fuller
use of the potential of this latest
generation of sensors.
The dual approach from IDS
means that this choice is not
set in stone. If a user opts for a
USB3 Vision camera initially and
the supported features are not
sufficient, it is possible to switch to
the IDS Software Suite at a later date
without even having to send the
camera away to perform the update.
Since many manufacturers use
similar sensors, the features made
available through the proprietary
software determine the overall
functionality of a given camera.
Functionality from IDS USB3
cameras includes high dynamic
range imaging, to allow viewing of
extreme light and dark regions in
the same scene and imaging from
multiple areas of interest which
speeds up image acquisition by
looking only at the important part
of the image.
Also, line scan imaging capability
is offered which offers a low cost
alternative for web inspection
applications as is scalar mode
which allows seamless changing of
resolution. Multi-integration mode –
multiple sensor exposure within an
image allowing capture of even fast
moving objects – can be provided
as well as extended exposure times
which are normally only found in
CCD cameras and are ideal for low
light conditions.
USB 3 cameras are available in
single-board camera versions or
light but robust housed versions.

the robots designed by ATG can detect
which product type is contained within
each tote from the wrapper colour. The
robotic system is also programmed to
sequence the totes to create a balanced
mix of products for the adjacent filling
lines, while system checks are carried
out via additional cameras.
“Thanks to our tailored approach and

Cheese is A-ware’s business and
the Group produces and distributes
over 240 million consumer

collaborated with New Zealand
dairy co-operative Fontera in
opening a warehouse and logistics
plant in Zeewolde. From here, Dutch

Packing wedges of cheese, such
as Gouda, into deep trays are two
food-grade Fanuc M3iA/6S robots.
Reaching packing speeds of 120
pieces of cheese per minute helps
to maintain product quality by
minimising the time lapse between
the process of cutting the whole
cheese rounds and placing them
into packs for sealing.
Both robots are fully integrated
into the new double line packaging
machines as this enables more
complex movements as well as
safeguarding workers.
For case loading, Robertpack
created a bespoke solution using two
Fanuc M3A/6S robots. To maximise
efficiency and ensure safety, both
robots were once again integrated
into the machine. This case loader
performs multiple tasks including
box loading, under-box erecting,
tray edge closing and lid setting.
At the end of the line sits a
space saving standalone Fanuc
M-710C/70. With a medium
payload, this robotic palletiser is
capable of handling up to 70kg
and can typically palletise up to
720 trays an hour. In demanding
situations, this very compact and
streamlined robot is available
IP67 rated without any additional
covers, and if required can be
supplied with Epoxy paint finish
and food grade grease.
The entire line, including the
interface to the robots, is controlled
by a single upstream PLC.

Ice Co director Philip Marr
says it was also important to
choose a coding supplier who
could be responsive and provide
excellent after-care support.
“It’s vital to ensure that the
equipment we use meets the
same high quality standards that
we set ourselves, and which our
customers demand,” he explains.
The first Zodiac purchased
was so impressive that The Ice Co
then installed another six across
four production sites, printing a

Labels applied accurately
for cookie clamshell pack
ACanadian cookie
manufacturer is using
six Herma 400 label
applicators to overcome
the challenge of applying
exceptionally large sealing
and product labels with
precision and efficiency.
A key component of the new
line is a case packer, which
packs and labels the biscuits
before placing them into transit
cases. A solution for labelling
the cookies in clamshell packs
was therefore required.
The label ensures that the
packs remain closed and,
since there is no secondary
packaging, perfect positioning
of the labels is also important
to maintain visual appeal.
Design modifications had to
be made to the case packer
to accommodate three label
positions – on the top, front
face and bottom – label
lengths of 240 and 290 mm
and widths of 69 and 89 mm,
as well as three different
clamshell formats.

“It enables us to achieve
excellent precision,” he says.
First, the clamshells are
recorded by a reflected light
scanner, turned over by
a four-axis robot, and fed
to the applicator conveyor

Domino Printing Sciences
has launched a new
ink for use in its range
of G-Series thermal inkjet
(TIJ) printers. The BK118
ink extends TIJ printing
capabilities to effectively code
onto challenging materials
such as plastics, films, foils
and coated cartons.
Employed in a variety of
industries ranging from food
to pharmaceutical, thermal
inkjet is perfectly suited
for primary packaging and
outer case applications.
Now, thanks to the resistive
qualities of the ethanol-based
BK118, even glossy packaging
materials can be coded.
“By using the benefits
of a revised cartridge that
is specifically designed
for solvent based inks, we
offer a TIJ ink that delivers
consistent, durable codes
with great character sharpness
and high contrast,” explains
Phil Parkins, TIJ product
manager at Domino Printing
Sciences. “Code quality and
ink adhesion make BK118
ideal for high speed coding
onto wrappers, sachets and
The new inks can be used for liquid sachets, blister packs or confectionery
flexible films.”
Furthermore, the BK118 and
the multi-head capability of
the G-Series TIJ printers prove
to be an effective combination
for coding onto non-porous
primary packaging and glossy
outer case packaging. With the

Regulations
Back to machinery
safety school
Neil Dyson
BUSINESS LINE MANAGER - MACHINERY TÜV SÜD PRODUCT SERVICE
Machinery end-users need to be aware of the legislative framework in which machinery safety sits
to ensure compliance across their manufacturing facilities. Here’s a useful guide
While machinery endusers
think they
may have safety
compliance covered, we
regularly observe common
hazards and issues that
have not been adequately
addressed. The legislative
framework within which
machinery safety sits is much
broader than the Machinery
Directive, which adds to the
complexity of identifying
which standards are relevant,
and then how they should be
applied according to specific
situations.
MACHINERY DIRECTIVE
All machines supplied in
the European Economic
Area must comply with the
Machinery Directive.
The Machinery Directive
defines a machine as:
• An assembly fitted with,
or intended to be fitted with,
a drive system other than
directly applied manual or
animal effort, consisting of
linked parts or components,
at least one of which moves,
and which are joined
together for a specific
application
• Machinery referred to above
that is missing only the
components to connect it on
site or to sources of energy
and motion
• Lifting apparatus whose
only power source is
directly applied manual
effort
• An assembly of machines
and/or partly completed
machinery which, in
order to achieve the same
end, are arranged and
controlled to function as
an integral whole
• Interchangeable equipment
which is assembled with
machinery or a tractor in
order to change its function.
PUWER
The Provision and Use of
Work Equipment Regulations
1998 (PUWER) requires users
of work equipment to carry
out risk assessment and
provide work equipment that
is suitable for its intended
task and can be used without
putting persons at risk.
It requires that inspections
are carried out:
• After installation and before
being put into service
for the first time; or after
assembly at a new site or
in a new location to ensure
that it has been installed
correctly and is safe to
operate
• After work equipment
has been exposed to
any conditions causing
deterioration, which is
liable to cause a dangerous
situation
• At suitable intervals; and
• Each time that exceptional
circumstances have
occurred that are liable
to jeopardise the safety of
work equipment.
The results of these
inspections have to be
documented and kept.
PRESSURE EQUIPMENT
DIRECTIVE
The Pressure Equipment
Directive (PED) 97/23/EC is
mandatory for equipment
operating at a pressure
greater than 0.5 bar and is
considered to be one of the
most complex and difficult to
understand directives. Indeed,
many organisations we work
with, particularly small and
medium-sized companies
which have limited resource
to allocate specifically to
the task of conformance,
report many difficulties in its
application.
The PED is wide ranging
as it impacts upon design,
production, final inspection/
test, marking and labelling
and instructions for use/
maintenance. Therefore, in
most affected companies
no single person will be
able to resolve all issues.
The Directive provides
many options and routes to
conformity, which can be
time consuming for those not
fully conversant with this
process, with an inappropriate
choice potentially leading
to significant third party
inspection costs.
THE LOW VOLTAGE
DIRECTIVE
Equipment operating at
voltage between 50v & 1000v
AC and 75v &1500v DC must
comply with the Low Voltage
Directive (LVD).
The requirements under the
LVD are:
• That the product is
electrically safe
• The product has been
constructed in accordance
with accepted good
engineering practice
• The product has been
designed and constructed
in accordance with the
Principal Elements of the
Safety Objectives of the LVD
• Electrical equipment is
designed and constructed
to ensure that it is safe when
connected to the electricity
supply, by providing a level
of protection against electric
shock.
ATEX DIRECTIVE
The ‘ATEX’ Directive 94/9/EC
provides the technical
requirements for equipment
intended for use in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
The Directive therefore covers
a surprisingly large range of
manufacturing sites including
fixed offshore platforms,
petrochemical plants, mines
and even flour mills.
THE EMC DIRECTIVE
Most electrical and electronic
products made or sold in
Europe must be constructed
so that they do not cause
excessive electromagnetic
interference, and are not duly
affected by electromagnetic
interference. Such products
are also required to carry CE
marking.
While machinery safety
is a complex process, the
guidance provided in both
the Machinery Directive and
associated standards mean
that there is no excuse for
getting this wrong. If in
doubt, seek expert advice
as the safety of your
employees and the reputation
of your business may depend
upon it.
