Andrew Mint<br />
CEO PPMA GROUP OF ASSOCIATIONS<br />
(INCORPORATING PPMA, BARA AND UKIVA)<br />
Welcome to the latest issue of <strong>Machinery</strong> <strong>Update</strong> where,<br />
amongst our regular sections and four exhibition<br />
reviews, we include a two page analysis of how the<br />
plastics debate is impacting our sector (see pages 12-13).<br />
Plastics are the new enemy, right? Well I don’t fully buy into<br />
that argument and not just because I spent nearly 20 years in<br />
the polymer business. No one should defend excess waste and<br />
environmental contamination, but the mass media and public<br />
perception of ‘just use less plastics’ is, as we all know, not such<br />
a black and white argument. At the risk of being beaten by the<br />
environmentalists, I am going to make a very controversial<br />
comment: plastic is a marvellous material!<br />
Polymer technology (which effectively creates all plastics)<br />
has transformed the lives of virtually everyone on this planet,<br />
ensuring we have safe medicines and food to name but two<br />
applications. Our lives would be poorer without plastics, and<br />
making them the modern-day demon is not a solution.<br />
It is incumbent on all of us to<br />
swim against the tide in the<br />
current emotive plastics debate<br />
The media’s ‘anti-plastic’ campaign is undoubtedly successful<br />
– my own daughter recently berating me for drinking plastic<br />
bottled water, for instance. Hopefully the recently announced<br />
world-leading UK Plastic Pact (see page 7) will go some way to<br />
moving the debate beyond calls for an out and out ban.<br />
However, there is virtually no positive reporting on the<br />
innovations happening in this area, and the wonderful progress<br />
being made in research of alternative substrates. For me, the key<br />
is progressive further R&D on sustainable polymers.<br />
This however, is not necessarily a quick fix that Joe Public wants.<br />
So, how does the development of new materials impact machinery<br />
manufacturers? The answer is simple, in that we need to work with<br />
the plastics manufacturers to ensure that the wonderful machines we<br />
build and sell can handle the next generation of plastics materials in<br />
the same way as they can now. Most sustainable/bio-degradable<br />
polymers are naturally derived (starches, celluloses, natural<br />
biopolymers) and these materials are generally more hygroscopic<br />
than their synthetic counterparts and so they are likely to absorb<br />
more water. This could maybe lead to a drop in production line<br />
speeds, which is clearly not desirable for anyone.<br />
Only by working alongside the plastics manufacturers<br />
and converters at an early stage can we minimise this risk. n<br />
Rulmeca offers a comprehensive range of high<br />
quality rollers and components for conveyors,<br />
constructed from aluminium, mild steel, stainless<br />
steel and high resistance technopolymers.<br />
Rulmeca drum motors provide the ideal drive<br />
solution for belt conveyors and associated material<br />
handling equipment. They are versatile, energy<br />
efficient and hermetically sealed for hygienic<br />
operations and wash-down applications<br />

UK businesses make<br />
world-leading pact to<br />
stop plastics pollution<br />
The showroom has a larger range<br />
Expanded showroom<br />

for shrinkwrap clients<br />
Yorkshire Packaging Systems<br />
(YPS) has unveiled its new and<br />
improved showroom to meet<br />
increased demand for shrink<br />
wrapping demonstrations.<br />
The revamped facilities are<br />
quadruple the size of the previous<br />
space which allows the company’s<br />
entire range of equipment to<br />
be shown in action. These<br />
range from manual to fully<br />
automatic specifications from the<br />
manufacturers it represents such<br />
as Hugo Beck, Ulma and Mimi.<br />
Also, any sample shrink films<br />
required can be taken from the<br />

businesses sign<br />
up to a world-first<br />
pact, which aims<br />
to transform the<br />
plastics packaging system<br />
in the UK and keep plastics<br />
in the economy and out of<br />
the ocean.<br />
The UK Plastics Pact,<br />
launched at the end of April<br />
by sustainability experts<br />
WRAP, is a unique<br />
collaboration which brings<br />
together businesses from<br />
across the entire plastics value<br />
chain with the UK Government<br />
and NGOs to tackle the scourge<br />
of plastic waste.<br />
At time of going to press,<br />
42 businesses, including<br />
major food, drink and nonfood<br />
brands manufacturers<br />
and retailers right through<br />
to plastics reprocessors and<br />
packaging suppliers had<br />
made their commitment to<br />
the Pact. These Pact members<br />
are responsible for over<br />
80% of the plastics packaging<br />
on products sold through<br />
UK supermarkets. In addition,<br />
15 other organisations have<br />
also shown their commitment<br />
to the new Pact.<br />
This powerful collective<br />
has committed to hit a series<br />
of ambitious targets by 2025<br />
which are outlined further<br />
on pages 10, 12-13 of this issue,<br />
along with the details of<br />
how the machinery sector is<br />
tackling the issue.<br />

mentors from industry<br />
Industry and education came<br />
together at the launch of the<br />
Go4SET 10-week project held at<br />
the National Oceanography Centre<br />
(NOC) in Southampton in April.<br />
Education and skills manager<br />
at the PPMA Danny Reed is<br />
mentoring a team of Year 8/9<br />
girls from the Portsmouth<br />
Academy who are taking on the<br />
challenge of designing a new<br />
eco-friendly factory. In operation,<br />
this factory must use new,<br />
sustainable and environmentally<br />
friendly ways to create the energy<br />
it needs to run.<br />
As well as being introduced to<br />
their project managers, the<br />
12 school teams from Hampshire<br />
and Dorset also completed a<br />
task to get them thinking about<br />
working as a team and also<br />
planning. They also had a chance<br />
to tour the NOC.<br />
Atwell Labellers is<br />
celebrating its 30th<br />
birthday this year with a<br />
record sales performance that<br />
sees its turnover approaching<br />
£2.5 million.<br />
Indeed, in the month of<br />
October last year, the company<br />
invoiced more than it did in the<br />
first six months of 2005, the<br />
year David Charlesworth and<br />
his wife bought the business<br />
from founder, Simon Atwell.<br />
Charlesworth puts the<br />
success down to the quality<br />
of its labelling machinery,<br />
the support that its contract<br />
labelling business provides to<br />
The PPMA and Lenze have<br />
teamed up to organise a<br />
breakfast meeting at Lenze’s<br />
Bedford site on Thursday<br />
14 June (9am - 11am) to<br />
discuss the OMAC – PackML<br />
standard, its history, how and<br />

customers and the flexibility<br />
that is offered by a small,<br />
dedicated team.<br />
The company supplies a<br />
range of labelling equipment<br />
to manufacturers across many<br />
markets and in 2015, Atwell set<br />
up a dedicated unit situated<br />
next door to its current premises<br />
to offer contract labelling<br />
Flexibility has<br />
proved crucial for<br />
Atwell Labellers<br />
services across a range of<br />
technologies. Charlesworth<br />
tells <strong>Machinery</strong> <strong>Update</strong> that<br />
this labelling service has<br />
meant it can offer its customers<br />
even more flexibility, to meet<br />
seasonal orders or one-off<br />
projects, and it now accounts<br />
for nearly 20% of the business.<br />
And the success continues,<br />
as the company has a full<br />
order book over the next six<br />
months already, and it has<br />
also just recruited a new sales<br />
manager. Gareth Williams<br />
has joined from Printsafe<br />
and will be looking after<br />
the South of England.<br />

News: Plastics debate<br />
<strong>Machinery</strong> manufacturers<br />
tackle plastics issue head on<br />
David Attenborough has single-handedly made plastics pollution take centre stage.<br />
Here, and on the following two pages, we examine how machinery manufacturers are reacting<br />
The single-use plastics<br />
debate took a giant leap<br />
forward with the news<br />
of the UK Plastics Pact<br />
launched by sustainability<br />
experts WRAP.<br />
Indeed, this unique<br />
collaboration brings together<br />
businesses from across the<br />
entire plastics value chain<br />
with UK Government and<br />
NGOs to tackle the scourge<br />
of plastics waste.<br />
It means that unnecessary<br />
single-use plastics packaging<br />
will be a thing of the past<br />
as businesses sign up to this<br />
world-first pact. It has aims<br />
to transform the plastics<br />
packaging system in the<br />
UK and keep plastics in the<br />
economy and out of the ocean.<br />
As <strong>Machinery</strong> <strong>Update</strong><br />
went to press, 42 businesses<br />
including major food, drink<br />
and non-food brands,<br />
manufacturers and retailers<br />
right through to plastics<br />
reprocessors and packaging<br />
suppliers have made their<br />
commitment to the Pact.<br />
WRAP says these Pact<br />
members are responsible<br />
for over 80% of the plastics<br />
packaging on products sold<br />
through UK supermarkets.<br />
In addition, 15 other<br />
organisations have also<br />
shown their commitment to<br />
the new Pact.<br />
This powerful collective has<br />
committed to hit a series of<br />
ambitious targets by 2025:<br />
• Eliminate problematic or<br />
unnecessary single-use<br />
plastics packaging through<br />
redesign, innovation or<br />
alternative (re-use)<br />
delivery models<br />
• 100% of plastics packaging<br />
to be reusable, recyclable or<br />
compostable<br />
Unnecessary single use plastics packs will be a thing of the past, says Pact<br />
• 70% of plastics packaging<br />
effectively recycled or<br />
composted<br />
• 30% average recycled<br />
content across all plastics<br />
packaging.<br />
The Pact will be replicated<br />
in other countries to form a<br />
powerful global movement<br />
for change as part of the Ellen<br />
MacArthur Foundation’s New<br />
Plastics Economy Initiative.<br />
There have been lots of<br />
statements from retailers on<br />
the issue, and the proposed<br />
Deposit Return Scheme (DRS)<br />
for bottles, but the Co-op<br />
has cited CPET, flexibles and<br />
vanity black plastics as the<br />
top three challenges.<br />
We asked a cross section<br />
of machinery suppliers if<br />
this was an issue they are<br />
taking seriously and more<br />
importantly, working on<br />
developing equipment to<br />
handle more sustainable<br />
options.<br />
According to sales director<br />
at Multivac UK Matthew<br />
Jackson, the reduction of<br />
avoidable plastics packaging<br />
waste is one of the hottest<br />
topics for UK food producers<br />
today. And as more retailers<br />
announce their plans to be<br />
more eco-friendly, this has an<br />
impact on producers and in<br />
turn this also impacts those<br />
who support producers with<br />
packaging requirements.<br />
“Switching existing<br />
packaging to a more<br />
sustainable alternative won’t<br />
happen overnight but as big<br />
producers look to reduce their<br />
plastics packaging waste,<br />
others are likely to follow<br />
suit,” he says.<br />
“Our customers have<br />
been very interested in how<br />
our material and machine<br />
solutions can help them<br />
towards plastics packaging<br />
reduction and we have been<br />
trialling various solutions<br />
to reduce plastics packaging<br />
waste using alternative,<br />
non-plastics materials,” he<br />
continues. “We have had<br />
success in trialling various<br />
solutions in our new facility<br />
in Swindon.”<br />
As part of its commitment<br />
to being able to provide<br />
alternative solutions to help<br />
reduce avoidable plastics<br />
waste in packaging, the<br />
company has developed<br />
various solutions that fall<br />
into three categories:<br />
Recycle, Replace and Reduce.<br />
These solutions were shown<br />
on the company’s stand at<br />
Foodex in April and are all the<br />
ways customers can continue<br />
packing their products on<br />
Multivac equipment using<br />
alternative materials.<br />

▸<br />
Continuing to talk plastics…<br />
<strong>Machinery</strong> manufacturers offer sustainable options to help customers answer consumer demands<br />
an existing APET mince tray<br />
for a vacuum envelope pack<br />
would reduce plastics by<br />
up to 50%.<br />
“As a leading provider<br />
of packaging solutions,<br />
this is an opportunity for<br />
us to offer innovative, more<br />
eco-friendly solutions to<br />
our new and existing<br />
customers,” says Jackson.<br />
“We are committed to<br />
supporting the industry<br />
in adapting packaging to<br />
make a difference in helping<br />
to reduce avoidable plastics<br />
packaging waste,” he tells<br />
<strong>Machinery</strong> <strong>Update</strong>.<br />
Proseal has also been<br />
working on plastics<br />
alternatives for some years<br />
and it was Proseal, that<br />
invented a machine to form,<br />
fill and seal cardboard skillets<br />
for sandwiches and take them<br />
out of plastics. Yet while many<br />
of these products have been<br />
available for some time,<br />
so far uptake has been slow<br />
due to this pack format being<br />
more costly.<br />
Nevertheless, there have<br />
been some successes. For<br />
instance, a customer in Chile<br />
is using Halopack, a boardbased<br />
MAP-capable food tray<br />
Halopack is used in UK<br />
for chicken; an envelope<br />
mince pack saves 50%<br />
plastics while the film<br />
used for nuts is a new<br />
compostable EVAP film<br />
produced from sustainable<br />
cardboard. The tray features<br />
an EVOH barrier that enables<br />
it to extend product shelf-life<br />
compared to conventional<br />
carton board tray options, and<br />
therefore reduce food wastage.<br />
Proseal worked with the<br />
tray manufacturer to develop<br />
an hermetic sealing system to<br />
deliver optimal conservation<br />
of the packed product.<br />
Halopack has also been<br />
used for breaded chicken<br />
products by a UK retailer for<br />
over five years.<br />
Tony Burgess, head of<br />
sales and control systems at<br />
Proseal, says the industry<br />
needs to make retailers<br />
and the public understand<br />
the work that has already<br />
been done, and continues<br />
to be carried out, on more<br />
lightweight and sustainable<br />
solutions across the board.<br />
He believes that some retailers<br />
are pragmatic on this issue<br />
and will work with the industry<br />
to come up with solutions.<br />
“The real message that is<br />
being lost in this debate is the<br />
whole area of food waste,”<br />
Burgess tells <strong>Machinery</strong><br />
<strong>Update</strong>. “Any new solutions<br />
should not be to the detriment<br />
of shelf life,” he says.<br />
Sealpac says the move<br />
against plastics is already<br />
impacting its business<br />
and customers are talking<br />
about how they can pack<br />
their products in alternative<br />
materials every day!<br />
“Our focus is on<br />
developing customer-specific<br />
packaging solutions that<br />
minimise the impact on<br />
the environment, yet still<br />
provide sufficient product<br />
protection and convenient<br />
handling for consumers,”<br />
says Sealpac sales manager<br />
Martijn Scheffers. “We are<br />
continuously testing new<br />
packaging materials as well as<br />
packaging methods and this<br />
has resulted in the FlatSkin<br />
system based on cardboard<br />
carriers that we demonstrated<br />
at Anuga FoodTec in Cologne.<br />
LIGHTWEIGHT TRAY USE<br />
Other developments include<br />
the use of lightweight trays,<br />
which require accurate<br />
handling and transport on<br />
the packaging line, and<br />
reducing the thickness of<br />
film applied,” he says.<br />
The company already has<br />
a wide range of natural-based<br />
materials running on its<br />
machines as well as recycled<br />
materials.<br />
At Italian manufacturer<br />
PFM, UK sales director Chris<br />
Bolton suggests that new<br />
environmental concerns<br />
will add further pace to<br />
established efforts to cut<br />
packaging costs by reducing<br />
the weight of plastics per pack.<br />
“This is the continuing<br />
challenge and indeed<br />
opportunity for machinery<br />
manufacturers,” he says.<br />
“For example, Dutch<br />
tomato growers have been<br />
a major market for PFM flow<br />
wrappers equipped to handle<br />
the produce without a tray,<br />
while across Europe, sliced<br />
meat has moved out of lidded<br />
thermoformed trays into flow<br />
wraps. PFM has supplied
News<br />
www.machineryupdate.co.uk MAY/JUNE <strong>2018</strong> MACHINERY UPDATE 13<br />
machines for reclosure by<br />
either labels or zippers.”<br />
In both cases, points out<br />
Chris Bolton, the weight of<br />
plastics has been more than<br />
halved.<br />
With the use of plastics<br />
films under attack, sales<br />
and marketing director Tony<br />
McDonald of flow wrapping<br />
machinery manufacturer<br />
Ilapak is being asked about<br />
materials more and more often.<br />
“If consumers want to shop<br />
for unpackaged food and if<br />
retailers want to ban plastics,<br />
of course, they should be able<br />
to do that,” he says. “But we<br />
should be wary of putting<br />
ourselves in a situation where<br />
it is ‘the tail wagging the dog’,”<br />
he continues. “After all, these<br />
weight optimised materials<br />
are there for a reason: they<br />
protect food and help keep<br />
it fresh for longer.”<br />
McDonald says that<br />
recently, he has been<br />
approached at industry<br />
events and asked what Ilapak<br />
is ‘doing about plastics’.<br />
He believes the implied<br />
question is: ‘How are you<br />
going to eliminate them?’<br />
But his answer actually is:<br />
‘We are going to help make<br />
them better.’<br />
“And I mean ‘better’ both<br />
in terms of performance and<br />
overall sustainability,” he says.<br />
ALTERNATIVES ARE HERE<br />
A second, and equally<br />
important, point worth<br />
spelling out is that sustainable<br />
alternative materials do exist,<br />
and continue to be optimised,<br />
just as standard films have<br />
themselves gone through<br />
a process of optimisation,<br />
he tells <strong>Machinery</strong> <strong>Update</strong>.<br />
He believes that today,<br />
brand-owners and retailers<br />
(some retailers, at least) are<br />
more prepared to invest<br />
in innovation and new<br />
materials while machinery<br />
manufacturers are working<br />
more closely with them to<br />
make a success of these<br />
sustainable options.<br />
“Over the past few months,<br />
we have been working with<br />
innovative UK materials<br />
manufacturer Four04 to<br />
ensure that its compostable<br />
EVAP film can run on our<br />
Vegatronic vertical bagging<br />
The real message being lost<br />
in this entire plastics debate is the<br />
important area of food wastage<br />
machine packing nuts for<br />
a major retailer,” he explains.<br />
Glyn Johnson, managing<br />
director of shrink film and<br />
shrink wrapping machinery<br />
company Yorkshire Packaging<br />
Systems (YPS), believes the<br />
whole plastics debate is an<br />
opportunity to educate people<br />
on best practice when it comes<br />
to handling and disposing of<br />
plastics, rather than a threat to<br />
his all-about-plastics business.<br />
“Plastics is at the centre<br />
of YPS – it’s who we are and<br />
it’s what we do,” he says,<br />
“but we are fully embracing<br />
the publicity about plastics<br />
because it will drive<br />
discussion about related, and<br />
perhaps more important topics<br />
such as recycling and reusing.<br />
Something we have always<br />
wanted to occur,” he says.<br />
He reckons that regardless of<br />
whether cardboard or plastics<br />
are selected to pack a product,<br />
the packaging still needs to be<br />
disposed of by consumers and<br />
it is this step in the process<br />
that is the absolute crux of the<br />
matter and where the most<br />
effective change can be made.<br />
“All of our shrink film is 100%<br />
recyclable and has been for<br />
40 years which means there<br />
is simply no need for it to end<br />
up in our oceans,” he says.<br />
Having said this, it still<br />
makes sense to use as<br />
little plastics as possible,<br />
irrespective of what is done<br />
with it when<br />
it has served<br />
its purpose,<br />
he says.<br />
With this in<br />
mind, YPS<br />
continues<br />
to pioneer<br />
lightweight<br />
films to meet<br />
customer<br />
demands<br />
for ‘greener’<br />
and/or<br />
‘sustainably<br />
sourced’ films.<br />
The<br />
company’s<br />
newlylaunched<br />
B-NAT<br />
ultrathin<br />
shrink<br />
film can<br />
meet these<br />
demands.<br />

Materials<br />
screening<br />
company<br />
Gough Engineering<br />
is working<br />
with ultrasonic<br />
technology<br />
specialist Telsonic<br />
to help<br />
manufacturers<br />
improve product<br />
quality and<br />
increase their<br />
throughput.<br />
Telsonic’s<br />
ultrasonic technology is now<br />
used in Gough Engineering’s<br />
screening equipment for the<br />
pharmaceutical and food<br />
manufacturing sectors to<br />
reduce waste and maximise<br />
production.<br />
Gough Engineering<br />
manufactures a range of<br />
elevating and screening<br />
systems, with bespoke mesh<br />
screens designed to suit all<br />
sizes and applications.<br />
The mesh screen on any sieve<br />
is the most critical component<br />
to ensuring the quality of a<br />
manufacturer’s final product<br />
which is why the company<br />
The technology has been applied to circular and linear systems<br />
has integrated ultrasonic<br />
technology to eliminate sieve<br />
blinding and blockages.<br />
In operation, the ultrasonic<br />
range works by using the<br />
screening system’s generator<br />
and converter to generate<br />
ultrasound waves that cause<br />
the screen’s fabric to vibrate.<br />
The technology speeds up the<br />
processing time of the product<br />
and provides manufacturers<br />
with a consistent rate of<br />
throughput, while also<br />
improving the selectivity of<br />
the screened product. This<br />
increases the mesh life and<br />
reduces the need for engineer<br />

intervention.<br />
“When screening<br />
fine materials<br />
and powders on<br />
fine meshes, the<br />
sieving of large<br />
particles can cause<br />
a residue, which<br />
as it accumulates<br />
can lead to screen<br />
blinding,” explains<br />
Stephen Harding,<br />
managing director of<br />
Gough Engineering.<br />
“Increasing the<br />
volume of unnecessary<br />
production waste this not only<br />
reduces the manufacturer’s<br />
throughput, but it also requires<br />
temporary downtime for<br />
engineers to clear the mesh.<br />
“Installing an ultrasonic<br />
system also reduces the need<br />
to remove the whole screen for<br />
manual cleaning, as the mesh<br />
is automatically cleared from<br />
the pulse of the vibrations.”<br />
Gough Engineering has<br />
applied the technology into<br />
both circular and linear<br />

New <strong>Machinery</strong><br />
Large-scale compressor users<br />
can use energy-saving variant<br />
Atlas Copco’s VSD+<br />
energy-saving<br />
technology is now<br />
available for the company’s<br />
GA 75-110 kW oil-injected,<br />
rotary screw compressors,<br />
enabling manufacturing and<br />
processing companies to<br />
realise operational savings in<br />
both medium and large-scale<br />
compressed air applications.<br />
Previously only available<br />
for its smaller GA ranges,<br />
Atlas Copco has extended<br />
its VSD+ technology to<br />
cover compressors in three<br />
additional and larger power<br />
ratings: 75 kW, 90 kW and<br />
110 kW. Each model is<br />
available in a pack version<br />
or as a full-feature unit with<br />
an integrated dryer. With the<br />
latter, this adds even more<br />
floor-space savings, when<br />
compared to an installation<br />
with standalone dryers.<br />
All units can work between<br />
4 bar and 13 bar set points.<br />
“With the introduction<br />
of our GA75–110 VSD+<br />
compressors, we’re now able<br />
to provide companies that<br />
consume a larger volume<br />
VSD+ energy-saving technology is now available for Atlas Copco’s larger,<br />
GA 75-110 kW oil-injected, rotary screw compressors to deliver savings<br />
of compressed air, with<br />
a premium performance<br />
package that offers industryleading<br />
free air delivery<br />
and outstanding energy<br />
efficiency,” says Stef Lievens,<br />
business line manager for<br />
industrial air at Atlas<br />
Copco Compressors UK.<br />
“Our VSD+ concept was<br />
designed from the outset<br />
to deliver high quality<br />
compressed air at the<br />
lowest operating cost, and<br />
help customers to boost<br />
productivity in the most<br />
demanding applications,”<br />
he continues. “What’s more,<br />
the floor space savings are<br />
enormous, giving end users<br />
the flexibility to add an extra<br />
compressor if they need more<br />
air in the future.”<br />
Thanks to their vertical<br />
build concept, the compressors<br />
occupy the smallest footprint<br />
of any comparable compressor<br />
in their power range, says<br />
Lievens. For example, a new<br />
GA110VSD+ compressor<br />
occupies just 1.82sq m in the<br />
Pack version and 2.83sq m<br />
in the Full Feature version –<br />
about 60% less space than<br />
the traditional GA110VSD<br />
models. This translates to<br />
3.78sq m of freed-up floor<br />
space for a Pack version<br />
and 4.57sq m of freed-up<br />
floor space for a Full Feature<br />
unit version.<br />
All maintenance parts<br />
are easily accessible, and<br />
the compact dimensions of<br />
the compressors allow for<br />
installation close to a wall or<br />
in tight corner spaces.<br />
The ultra-compact<br />
compressors offer energy<br />
savings because they feature<br />
variable speed drive (VSD)<br />
technology that automatically<br />
adjusts the motor speed to<br />
match the compressed air<br />
supply to the air demand.<br />

Multipix Imaging has<br />
launched MVTec’s<br />
latest HALCON<br />
imaging software which<br />
includes a set of deep<br />
learning functions that<br />
can be readily applied to<br />
industrial inspection tasks.<br />
It is the first time that<br />
customers can train their<br />
own CNNs (Convolutional<br />
Neural Networks) with MVTec<br />
HALCON on the basis of<br />
deep learning algorithms,<br />
using sample pictures of their<br />
specific application.<br />
Training a CNN in HALCON<br />
is done simply by providing a<br />
sufficient amount of labelled<br />
training images, allowing for<br />
differentiation between sample<br />
images that show defects/<br />
contamination and good<br />
image samples. Image data<br />
can now be classified easily<br />
and precisely, thus reducing<br />
programming effort and saving<br />
both time and money.<br />
DEEP LEARNING FEATURE<br />
The new deep learning<br />
feature is fully integrated<br />
into the HALCON machine<br />
vision library.<br />
In addition to deep<br />
learning technologies,<br />
HALCON 17.12 offers many<br />
other new features, product<br />
improvements, and revised<br />
functions. For example,<br />
the software enables the<br />
user to inspect specular and<br />
partially specular surfaces<br />
to detect defects by applying<br />
the principle of deflectometry.<br />
This method uses known<br />
pattern projections that are<br />
reflected by the specular<br />
surface and the software<br />
observes changes in that<br />
pattern for inspection<br />
purposes.<br />
The new release also<br />
simplifies the daily work<br />
of HALCON developers.<br />

Latest 3 in 1 laser system brings<br />
benefits to all pouch production<br />
The latest development<br />
from Mespack is<br />
designed to reduce<br />
changeover times when<br />
producing various pouch<br />
formats on its form, fill and<br />
seal machines.<br />
Developing technology with<br />
a laser supplier, a system is<br />
now available to print, score<br />
and cut any shape of pouch,<br />
easily and seamlessly which,<br />
says UK agent Springvale,<br />
gives ultimate flexibility to<br />
those manufacturers wanting<br />
to run various pouch formats<br />
from a single machine.<br />
And because there are no die<br />
cuts to be kept sharp,<br />
maintenance and consumables<br />
are no longer an issue.<br />
Flexibility is also delivered<br />
on the new<br />
Quicker format changes<br />
Flexibility is delivered by the new machine as it can handle any pouch material and<br />
shape. It can also store a range of different formats which can be changed easily<br />
machine as it can handle<br />
any material and any shape.<br />
Changeover from one shape<br />
to another is much faster,<br />
as the operator only has to<br />
adjust the grippers and<br />
change the sealing bars.<br />
In terms of the pouch itself,<br />
5mm of film savings per<br />
pouch is possible as no film<br />
space between pouches<br />
is needed as the laser is<br />
more precise, especially when<br />
producing rounded corners.<br />
The machine will be<br />
demonstrated at Hispack<br />
in Barcelona (8 – 10 May),<br />
and visitors to the stand will<br />
see how the laser delivers a<br />
precise and clean cut with<br />
no hooks and no threads.<br />
The 3 in 1 laser’s separate<br />
HMI enables the operator to<br />
change between preloaded<br />
pouch formats on a simple<br />
touch screen format. It also<br />
centralises three solutions<br />
in one: cutting or shaping,<br />
film scoring and coding.<br />
This laser system has been<br />
demonstrated on an H180 FE<br />
machine from Mespack and<br />
it achieved size changes in<br />
minutes. This machine can<br />
produce pouches from 70 x<br />
100 mm up to a maximum size<br />
of 190 x 300 mm at between<br />
70-90 pouches a minute but<br />
the solution can be applied to<br />
larger format machines.<br />

and especially with kegging<br />
systems or with the BEVkeg<br />
system for filling disposable<br />
PET beverage kegs.<br />
Thanks to its compact<br />
dimensions, product losses<br />
at beer type changeovers<br />
are also correspondingly<br />
low while its reduced<br />
number of components,<br />
combined with this variant’s<br />
sturdy technology, offers<br />
reduced maintenance<br />
costs. Meanwhile, the<br />
horizontal buffer tank<br />
ensures that the output is<br />
automatically adjusted to<br />
allow for fluctuations in<br />
production, thus minimising<br />

Waste not want not for skin packs<br />
Skin pack solution<br />
offers materials and<br />
production savings<br />
Ulma Packaging is now offering the<br />
TFS407R skin packaging machine<br />
which it says can reduce film waste<br />
by almost half while increasing<br />
throughput by over 10%.<br />
The machine includes a new<br />
‘reduced scrap’ process which has<br />
been developed in partnership<br />
with Cryovac using its Darfresh<br />
films. This latest machine is<br />
based on the previous TFS407,<br />
but Ulma is confident that this<br />
will offer producers of meat,<br />
seafood, fish and cheeses, more<br />
efficiency benefits.<br />
In operation, the machine<br />
facilitates up to a 12% increase in<br />
cycle rate through more efficient<br />
positioning of the vacuum valve.<br />
This allows faster evacuation and<br />
thus delivers higher pack rates<br />
than conventional systems.<br />
A plain or pre-printed base web<br />
can be accommodated.<br />

New roll handler<br />
makes life easier<br />
for all operators<br />
Meeting the challenge of<br />
stricter safety regulations,<br />
and building on its established<br />
LiftAssist range, Dotec has<br />
introduced the new RH50<br />
roll handler that is especially<br />
relevant in the flexible<br />
packaging, hygiene, and<br />
yarns and fabric industries.<br />
Advances in production<br />
methods in these sectors<br />
have already resulted in a<br />
change in the sizes of the<br />
rolls being processed with the<br />
rolls getting both larger and<br />
heavier in some cases, and<br />
smaller and lighter in others.<br />
To meet this need, Dotec’s<br />
LiftAssist handling range will<br />
safely handle rolls weighing<br />
from 10 kg to 500 kg.<br />
The new RH50 has been<br />
designed to handle rolls up to<br />
50 kg that need to be lifted and<br />
tilted. It offers an improvement<br />

Detecting metal<br />
unit is on a roll<br />
We Help You Adapt and Evolve.<br />
People. Services. Systems. Software.<br />
Fortress Technology has<br />
developed a modular<br />
metal detection system<br />
for the textiles and paper<br />
markets. Designed to<br />
inspect wide products that<br />
are rolled or sheeted, such<br />
as papers or fabric, the<br />
company’s latest Stealth<br />
modular version is specially<br />
divided into ‘Multiscan’<br />
sections to assist operatives<br />
in retrieving any metal<br />
contaminants.<br />
Roll metal detectors are<br />
increasingly commonplace in<br />
the lumber, pulp and paper<br />
industries, inspecting for<br />
tramp metal, predominantly<br />
iron, which tends to be<br />
introduced through either<br />
contaminated wood chips or<br />
other wood products entering<br />
the plant. “In secondary mills<br />
that recycle wastepaper,<br />
removing smaller metal<br />
fragments, such as staples<br />
and paperclips, is equally<br />
vital,” explains Phil Brown,<br />
European sales director for<br />
Fortress. “The reason is a lot<br />
of recycled pulp paper can be<br />
used by the electronics sector<br />
in components, such as<br />
microchips,” he says.<br />
Equally, large paper<br />
makers can use this system<br />
to ensure metal fragments<br />
don’t damage machinery<br />
that cuts the wider rolls into<br />
smaller, more conveniently<br />
sized rolls.<br />
The modular surface metal<br />
detector system from Fortress<br />
allows the detection of ferrous,<br />
non-ferrous and stainless<br />
steel contaminants as small<br />
as 1mm in size for roll/web<br />
applications. Designed with a<br />
quick connect function, using<br />
a special rail system, each<br />
module can be independently<br />
placed, repositioned, removed<br />
and replaced, even while a<br />
web is present.<br />
What’s more, the sensitivity<br />
for each module can be<br />
adjusted, with each featuring<br />
its own reject output.<br />
Detector modules, along<br />
with the rail mount system,<br />
are custom built to suit each<br />
application. This means that<br />
the overall width of each<br />
system is unrestricted.<br />
The use of a rail mount system<br />
also counteracts vibration<br />
caused by plant machinery,<br />
which can affect metal<br />
detection sensitivity.<br />

New <strong>Machinery</strong><br />
High speed blister line<br />
was displayed in China<br />
Marchesini showcased<br />
its fastest blister<br />
packaging line along<br />
with its new FA 04 fast<br />
version bundler at the China<br />
International Pharmaceutical<br />
<strong>Machinery</strong> Exposition in<br />
April. The line on show was<br />
made up of an Integra 520 V<br />
blister line and the new fast<br />
bundler FA 04. It can deliver<br />
520 blisters and 500 cartons<br />
per minute, pack blisters into<br />
cartons and also bundle them<br />
at high speed.<br />
The Integra 520 V is the<br />
fastest of the robotised<br />
integrated blister lines produced<br />
by the Marchesini Group and<br />
combines two machines:<br />
a thermoformer and a cartoner.<br />
Integra 520 V features not only<br />
the functions of the Integra<br />
320, but also new pushers,<br />
a drum-type carton opener<br />
to deal with high speeds and<br />
a new leaflet pick-and-place<br />
system. This is designed for<br />
single-blister cartons, is easy<br />
to clean and to change sizes<br />
as the product feeding area is<br />
separate from the electrical<br />
and mechanical area.<br />
For high standards of<br />
quality and safety KHS<br />
provides a proven preventive<br />
maintenance system for both<br />
the linear and rotary version<br />
of its Innosept Asbofill aseptic<br />
filler – with fixed modules at<br />
fixed prices.<br />
This optimised system is<br />
part of the company’s holistic<br />
range of services which are<br />
designed to give bottlers<br />
the safety and reliability<br />
they need in the production<br />
process. “In this way failure<br />

cartons by the MA 500,<br />
a special product insertion<br />
unit designed to handle<br />
all kinds of carton closure:<br />
tuck-in or glued flap and also<br />
various other combinations.<br />
Downstream from the<br />
line was the new FA 04 fast<br />
version, which has been<br />
developed from the FA 04<br />
classical version. This new<br />
Preventive maintenance system for aseptic<br />
machines helps avoid unplanned stoppages<br />
risks to product safety are<br />
detected well in advance and<br />
the availability of the system<br />
is ensured,” explains Thomas<br />
Niehr, head of aseptic filling<br />
technology for KHS.<br />
“Should just one single part<br />
of the machine fail, the<br />
financial and material loss<br />
can be vast if the bottler has<br />
a sterile product in the tank<br />
which has to be processed<br />
quickly, for instance.”<br />
For this reason, KHS offers<br />
special maintenance modules<br />
which Niehr describes as<br />
bundling machine can handle<br />
a production flow of 500<br />
cartons per minute, arranged<br />
in 50 bundles of 10 cartons.<br />
The machine shown has a<br />
balcony structure so that all<br />
the parts involved in<br />
the product flow are visible<br />
which also minimises<br />
maintenance work and<br />
ensures simplicity of use.<br />

New <strong>Machinery</strong><br />
Entry-level kit helps to add eyes<br />
to collaborative robots with ease<br />
Sick has collaborated<br />
with Universal Robots to<br />
develop an entry-level<br />
vision-guided cobot system<br />
for pick and place, quality<br />
inspection and measurement.<br />
The company says its Inspector<br />
PIM60 URCap is a simple yet<br />
powerful toolkit for creating a<br />
vision-guided robot task with<br />
minimum time and effort.<br />
By integrating these sensors<br />
with Universal Robots’ UR3,<br />
UR5 or UR10 robots, Sick has<br />
developed an adaptable visionguided<br />
cobot system that is<br />
quick and easy to program and<br />
configure without the need<br />
for a separate PC or specialist<br />
software expertise.<br />
“With the Sick Inspector<br />
PIM60 URCap, it’s easy to add<br />
eyes to your robot application,”<br />
explains Neil Sandhu, Sick (UK)<br />
vision specialist. “This entrylevel<br />
package allows engineers<br />
to set up the robot to be guided<br />
to pick randomly positioned<br />
objects, as well as to inspect<br />
or measure the objects prior<br />
to picking.<br />
“Because it doesn’t need<br />
specialist programming<br />
expertise, it makes an ideal<br />

The vision-guided cobot system makes operations more straightforward<br />
‘starter’ vision-guided robotic<br />
solution for a production line,<br />
even on a small scale, and<br />
is sufficiently adaptable to<br />
equip a pilot process facility<br />
for production development<br />
work,” he continues.<br />
“The in-camera software<br />
guides you through the set-up<br />
and calibration process, based<br />
on our SOPAS software, so<br />
even if an engineer is new<br />
to 2D vision robot guidance,<br />
development of an effective<br />
solution is simple.” Experienced<br />
users can work with the<br />
directness and simplicity of<br />
the set-up and parameter<br />
change procedures, as well<br />
as the handling capabilities<br />
of the range of cobots that<br />
the system supports.”<br />
Standard configurations<br />
such as changing jobs and<br />
pick-points, calibration<br />
and alignment are done<br />
directly from the robot<br />
control pendant, making<br />
the everyday operations fast<br />
and straightforward. More<br />
advanced operations such<br />
as inspection and dimension<br />
measurement of objects prior<br />
to picking, can be done through<br />
SOPAS – Sick’s standard device<br />
configuration tool.<br />
The Inspector URCap<br />
is also ready to expand<br />
through extra data fields<br />
that can accommodate<br />
results from both detailed<br />
object inspections and<br />
measurements.<br />
Communication options<br />
include being able to connect<br />
the result and command<br />
channels through both<br />
EtherNet/IP and TCP/IP and a<br />
built-in web server, allowing<br />
monitoring of the process,<br />
and the ability to design a<br />
customised user interface<br />
(style, logo and functionality)<br />
to easily visualise and control<br />
the data needed from a specific<br />
robotics vision application.<br />

Flow wrapper for confectionery<br />
The flow wrapping<br />
component of Schubert’s<br />
TLM picker line proved<br />
popular with confectionery<br />
manufacturers that visited<br />
ProSweets earlier this year.<br />
Visitors were also interested<br />
in the new sealing technology<br />
that the company is working<br />
on which will also enable<br />
the use of heat sealing film,<br />
even for sensitive products<br />
such as chocolate.<br />
According to Ralf Schubert,<br />
managing director of the<br />
company, the combination<br />
of F4 pick-and-place robots,<br />
3D image recognition and<br />
one or two flow wrapping<br />
components within a TLM<br />
system are what makes this<br />
system so successful.<br />
“It saves space and, thanks<br />
to short changeover times,<br />
enables the efficient handling<br />
Demonstrated in Germany was the latest Flowmodul component from Schubert<br />
of small batch sizes and a large<br />
variety of products,” he says.<br />
Also, 3D image recognition<br />
ensures that the robots only<br />
pick up flawless products<br />
and place them in the flow<br />
wrapping component’s feed<br />
chain. 3D means that not only<br />
the rotational position, shape<br />
and surface of the products<br />
to be packaged are detected,<br />
but also their height, which<br />
for many products, including<br />
sandwich biscuits – as<br />
demonstrated at ProSweets –<br />
is an important quality criterion.<br />
An infeed chain speed of<br />
60 metres per minute and<br />
format changeovers being<br />
achieved within one to ten<br />
minutes ensure exceptional<br />
system performance and<br />
low downtimes, he says.<br />
The system can pack many<br />
different types of products<br />
such as candy bars, biscuits,<br />
cakes, 3D chocolate figures,<br />
yoghurt cups, ice cream,<br />
puff pastry and also<br />
confectionery waffles.<br />
With the latest Flowmodul<br />
model, Schubert has further<br />
simplified accessibility for<br />
maintenance and cleaning<br />
work, and made the<br />
suspension of the film rolls<br />
more ergonomic. This, says<br />
the company, makes it even<br />
more user-friendly and more<br />
efficient for technicians<br />
and machine operators.<br />

Labeller delivers precise<br />
promotional result easily<br />
First launched at<br />
Anuga FoodTec<br />
in March, and<br />
demonstrated at<br />
Foodex in April,<br />
the new L 310 full<br />
wrap labeller from<br />
Multivac can help<br />
food manufacturers<br />
apply promotional<br />
labels automatically,<br />
at high speed and with<br />
maximum precision.<br />
It has been designed<br />
for products packed<br />
in skin or MultiFresh<br />
packaging that need<br />
promotional labels<br />
applied to the cavity,<br />
or tray, of the pack.<br />
In many cases, this<br />
usually requires an<br />
operator to apply them<br />
by hand to ensure that<br />
they are correctly placed, and<br />
firmly stuck to the pack so<br />
that the sticker does not peel<br />
off during refrigeration or<br />
transportation.<br />
However, Multivac says the<br />
new d-wrap labelling machine<br />
accurately applies the label<br />
to the cavity, or tray, of a skin<br />
Busch is focused on reducing<br />

The R 5 RD was shown,<br />
the newest generation of oil<br />
lubricated rotary vane vacuum<br />

Optimised for operating<br />
around ultimate pressure, and<br />
with high reliability and long<br />
service lifetime, the R 5 RD<br />
produces energy savings of up<br />
Pack formats and label sizes can be changed quickly<br />
pack, removing the need for<br />
any operators smoothing<br />
down labels and therefore<br />
reducing overheads.<br />
Due to its fully automatic<br />
and high speed operation, the<br />
machine can be integrated<br />
into packaging lines running<br />
in excess of 120 packs a<br />
minute and works<br />
with products up<br />
to 90mm high.<br />
The machine can<br />
also deliver precision<br />
in label positioning<br />
and guidance of<br />
the packs.<br />
With the contactless<br />
application, the L 310<br />
labelling machine<br />
has zero contact with<br />
the product while<br />
applying the label.<br />
This eliminates<br />
the risk of spoilt or<br />
damaged packs and<br />
products during the<br />
labelling process.<br />
The labeller can<br />
be operated simply<br />
and reliably via the<br />
intuitive Multivac<br />
HMI 2.0 user<br />
interface. The controls for the<br />
L 310 can also be integrated<br />
into the control panel of a<br />

Weighing machinery<br />
delivers compliance<br />
Yamato Scale Dataweigh<br />
UK turned the<br />
spotlight onto some<br />
of its weighing machinery<br />
at Foodex, demonstrating<br />
the vital role that multihead<br />
weighers and table top<br />
weighers play throughout the<br />
fresh food packaging process.<br />
The team presented the table<br />
top semi-automatic Dataweigh<br />
(TDSW) range and Alpha<br />
Advance multihead weigher.<br />
“We’re excited to be<br />
showcasing at Foodex<br />
again,” said Andrea Spencer,<br />
commercial operations<br />
manager for Yamato Scale<br />
Dataweigh UK.<br />
“This event gives us a valuable<br />
opportunity to engage with<br />
visitors and discuss how<br />
they can best achieve their<br />
objectives with Yamato’s<br />
checkweighers and range<br />
of weighing machines –<br />
particularly when it comes to<br />
complying with food safety<br />
and quality requirements.”<br />
Solutions like Yamato’s TDSW<br />
can provide the perfect low<br />
impact solution for products<br />
that are fragile in nature such<br />
Yamato says its equipment helps food producers meet the safety standards<br />
as delicate fruits to meet both<br />
retailer and consumer demand<br />
for visually perfect and longer<br />
shelf life products.<br />
Meanwhile, Yamato’s AFC<br />
system (Auto feeder control<br />
system) on the Alpha Advance<br />
series of multihead weighers<br />
can handle sticky or fragile<br />
products. Achieving weighing<br />
levels of 75 weighs per minute<br />
(wpm) by the 10-head model<br />
and 140 wpm by the 14-head<br />
model, the high frequency<br />
load cells shorten the settle<br />
time of the weighing cycle to<br />
achieve these higher speeds.<br />
“All the packaging and<br />
weighing solutions we<br />
develop are tailored to the<br />
customers’ products by<br />
our team of highly skilled<br />
engineers,” says Spencer.<br />

At Foodex, Bizerba<br />
occupied two<br />
stands – one<br />
included industrial<br />
machinery, the second<br />
housing retail equipment<br />
– to meet the needs of<br />
food processors and<br />
retailers of all shapes<br />
and sizes.<br />
“We supply a range of<br />
equipment across several<br />
sectors and the aim of our<br />
exhibit was to demonstrate<br />
the sheer breadth of our<br />
offer,” Liesl Marchand,<br />
marketing manager at<br />
Bizerba told <strong>Machinery</strong><br />
<strong>Update</strong>. New on the stand<br />
was iS75 – the latest industrial<br />

being gathered from all the<br />
devices shown on the stand.<br />
At the same time, and<br />
part of the Bizerba flagship<br />
range of high speed labelling<br />
systems, the GLM-I120C was<br />
demonstrated. It is capable<br />
of achieving a top speed of<br />
120 packs per minute while<br />
accurately and reliably<br />
wrapping each label around<br />
the product pack.<br />
Bizerba demonstrated a huge range at Foodex<br />
With its connection to the<br />
Bizerba Brain software reach<br />
package, weight is instantly<br />
recorded and saved to allow<br />
trend analysis to be carried<br />
out. The addition of this<br />
statistics capture software<br />
removes the need to record<br />
batch statistics manually<br />
or to have endless printouts.<br />
Also on the stand was<br />
SealSecure – L, a device to<br />
ensure that each package<br />
exiting the factory is fully<br />
inspected for label data<br />
and seal integrity. Dynamic<br />
calculations allow for this<br />
device to be used on both<br />
fixed and catch weight<br />
products to verify that the<br />
correct data is printed and<br />
can be fully validated before<br />
it gets to the end customer.<br />
Meanwhile, the<br />
Bizerba/Niche recipe<br />
station – a collaboration<br />
of Bizerba hardware<br />
and Niche software –<br />
allows the preparation of<br />
manufacturing batches of<br />
bulk items. It ensures that<br />
multiple ingredients are<br />
all weighed or counted in<br />
the most accurate and efficient<br />
manner to reduce errors in the<br />
preparation stage and also the<br />

optimise its operations in<br />
meeting the varying demands<br />
from its wide variety of<br />
customers. The company<br />
provides tailored primary<br />
and secondary packaging<br />
solutions and specialises<br />
in applications that include<br />
pouching, cartoning, shrinkwrapping<br />
and label printing<br />
while processing track and<br />
trace codes at an extremely<br />
high speed and volume.<br />
With four plants based<br />
across Ohio and Illinois and<br />
a huge volume of orders that<br />
are progressed on a daily<br />
basis, maintaining efficiency<br />
and avoiding downtime are<br />
critical for the company. As a<br />
result, the printers across the<br />
company’s plants need to be<br />
able to withstand the tough<br />
production environments that<br />
are typical of the food industry,<br />
while also guaranteeing that<br />
clear, legible codes are printed<br />
onto the various packages.<br />
US-based Express Packaging has a very long-standing partnership with Domino<br />
Prior to the purchase of the<br />
Ax350i, Express Packaging had<br />
more than 50 Domino systems,<br />
including case coders and CIJ<br />
printers already in use across<br />
its four plants. “Although we<br />
were very happy with the<br />
technologies we had in place,<br />
we instantly wanted to try the<br />
new product as soon as<br />
it was available,” Express<br />
Packaging president Fred<br />
Hartzler tells <strong>Machinery</strong> <strong>Update</strong>.<br />
“Every time Domino comes out<br />
with something new, we find<br />
it to be even better than what<br />
we’re currently using.<br />
“The Ax350i has continued<br />
that trend,” he says.<br />
“One of the things I really<br />
like about the Ax350i is that our<br />
operators are all very familiar<br />
with touch screens from our<br />
other coding equipment,<br />
so upon its arrival it literally<br />
took minutes to train staff<br />
on how to adjust their code<br />
dates,” says Dan Crone, project<br />
and maintenance manager at<br />
Express Packaging.<br />
With an IP66 rating, the<br />
Ax350i’s robust design makes<br />
it the ideal printer for use in<br />
a factory where wet foods are<br />
handled, while its modular<br />
stackability allows for easier<br />
installation on Express<br />
Packaging’s production lines.<br />
The Ax350i is capable of<br />
delivering multiple line codes<br />
at the fastest print speeds,<br />
allowing for large amounts of<br />
data to be printed onto each<br />
item. The printer supports inks<br />
for all substrates, while the<br />
consumables are RFID coded,<br />
making it easy for operators to<br />
know which fluid should be<br />
used and where.<br />
“The Ax350i saves us<br />
money, it runs faster and we<br />
have clearer print,” concludes<br />

Self-cleaning filter is delivering many<br />
operational benefits for frying oils<br />
Nut products and snack<br />
producer Milhans Gida ve<br />
Tarim Urunleri has replaced<br />
a paper filtration system used<br />
to recover frying oil at its plant<br />
in Turkey with a self-cleaning<br />
eco filter installed with a filter<br />
management system from<br />
Russell Finex.<br />
The paper system was<br />
not achieving the required<br />
throughput, nor providing<br />
consistent filtration quality in<br />
recycling the oil. Moreover,<br />
production downtime was<br />
caused through having to<br />
manually change the paper<br />
filter cartridges, which often<br />
became saturated and blocked<br />
with contamination.<br />
Following consultation with<br />
Russell Finex, it was decided<br />
that the new system could<br />
successfully recover the used<br />
cooking oil. This filtration<br />
system was easy to install<br />
in the existing production<br />
line, capable of filtering hightemperature<br />
liquids and<br />
of providing a significant<br />
upgrade on the previous paper<br />
cartridge filters.<br />
The new filter is<br />
installed on the<br />
peanut processing<br />
line in Turkey<br />
The system continuously<br />
monitors the filtration process,<br />
enabling the filter to run<br />
efficiently without operators.<br />

Seven cell robot solution<br />
is exceeding expectations<br />
An automated turnkey<br />
installation from<br />
Brillopak has provided<br />
McVities with a flexible,<br />
small footprint, multi-line<br />
palletising solution that has<br />
already paid for itself.<br />
The seven robot cells<br />
have been running for over<br />
18 months, having already<br />
paid for themselves within<br />
15 months through reduced<br />
labour costs and increased<br />
efficiency. Pladis reports that<br />
the systems have “exceeded<br />
expectations in terms of<br />
reliability and consistency<br />
of performance” and have<br />
allowed it to achieve its<br />
objective of labour reduction<br />
and increased efficiency in<br />
a very small space.<br />
And the beauty of this<br />
solution, says Brillopak, is<br />
that it has been proofed for<br />
the future as it has the ability<br />
to adapt to the seasonal and<br />
ranging changes that are a<br />

Rotary valve<br />
reduces<br />
change times<br />
RotaVal’s fast clean rotary valves<br />
have transformed production<br />
efficiency for manufacturer of<br />
plastics, resins and masterbatch<br />
A Schulman by reducing<br />
changeover times by 75%.<br />
Through its efficient mechanism<br />
for cleaning the valve at product<br />
changeover, and with only a single<br />
tool required, RotaVal modular<br />
fast clean valves require only<br />
four minutes per changeover.<br />
Indeed, A Schulman has gained<br />
2-3 hours of production time<br />
per month at its Gainsborough<br />
production site since using<br />
the new valves.<br />
NO MATERIAL RESIDUE<br />
Cleanliness in production and<br />
the ability to guarantee that no<br />
material residue carries over<br />
when products change is<br />
a critical factor in the company’s<br />
manufacturing process. At the<br />
same time, production pressure<br />
in a busy factory is ever-present,<br />
and it is vital that downtime is<br />
minimised. At every changeover,<br />
the process is purged, and<br />
that includes dismantling and<br />
cleaning the rotary valves.<br />
A Schulman identified that this<br />
was a bottleneck in its production<br />
processes and contacted RotaVal<br />
for a solution.<br />
QUICK RELEASE<br />
In use, all the operator needs<br />
to do is release the air supply<br />
and undo a few bolts which are<br />
easily accomplished with a single<br />
spanner. “The previous gate valve<br />
used a lot of tools and was time<br />
consuming,” explains Michael<br />
Ingall, A Schulman’s production<br />
manager. “With the aid of<br />
the RotaVal quick release<br />
rotary valves we have saved<br />
a lot of time and money.”<br />
“Time saving is 12-15<br />
minutes and, with the amount<br />
of changeovers we have, it’s a<br />
fantastic saving,” says production<br />
supervisor Richard Hodge.<br />

Washing equipment delivers<br />
‘food to go’ higher volumes<br />
Industrial Washing Machines<br />

the washing and sanitising<br />
equipment complemented<br />
with automatic tray<br />
de-stacking and restacking<br />
equipment from Autarky<br />
Automation for a new multimillion<br />
pound production<br />
facility. This site will enable<br />
the largest UK supplier of ‘food<br />

its production capacity.<br />
THE DISTRIBUTION CENTRE<br />
NEEDED TO WASH AND DRY<br />
4,000<br />
plastic trays per hour and so an<br />
automated solution was devised<br />
For this new manufacturing<br />
facility, IWM supplied a<br />
continuous washer for 200 litre<br />
Eurobins, a twin-track highcare<br />
tray washer for cleaning<br />
a wide variety of trays used<br />
to transport raw ingredients<br />
around the facility, and five<br />
cabinet utensil washer for<br />
depositor parts, salad bowls<br />
and similar items.<br />
Meanwhile, the equipment<br />
for the adjacent distribution<br />
centre had to be capable of<br />
washing and drying much<br />
higher volumes. This meant<br />
manual handling was not a<br />
viable option, so IWM worked<br />
with mechanical handling<br />
specialist Autarky Automation.<br />
In this system, operators<br />
place nested stacks of dirty<br />
trays on to the stack infeed<br />
of the destacker which then<br />
elevates the stacks before<br />
removing individual trays<br />
form the top of the stack.<br />
The separated trays are then<br />
inverted to allow loose debris<br />
to fall from the trays before<br />
being turned upright and<br />
conveyed to the washer.<br />

Packaging speeds double<br />
for organic snacks maker<br />
Riverside Natural<br />
Foods has doubled its<br />
speeds by installing<br />
new, integrated packaging<br />
systems from tna. Indeed the<br />
installation of two systems<br />
was so successful that the<br />
company immediately ordered<br />
a third bagger.<br />
“After reviewing all<br />
available options, we quickly<br />
realised that tna’s robag was<br />
the best solution for us to<br />
maximise our production<br />
capacities in the space<br />
available,” says Justin Fluit,<br />
VP of operations at Riverside.<br />
“No other vendor could deliver<br />
the speeds and offer options<br />
that also simplify operation<br />
and reduce downtime.”<br />
To help the healthy<br />
snacks maker respond<br />
to the growing global<br />
demand for its 24g<br />
bags of granola minis,<br />
the company needed a<br />
packaging system that<br />
could increase production<br />
volumes, simplify the<br />
company’s processes and<br />
also reduce downtime.<br />
With previous packaging<br />
speeds ranging between<br />
70-80 bags per minute, a high<br />
speed bagging solution was<br />
at the top of the agenda.<br />
At the same time, the system<br />
also needed to be hygienically<br />
designed and easy to clean<br />
to fulfil Riverside’s standards<br />
and protect the allergen-free<br />
positioning of the company’s<br />
tna’s bagger has delivered benefits<br />
product portfolio.<br />
The solution was the<br />
installation of two tna robag<br />
FX 3ci vertical form, fill and<br />
seal packaging systems.<br />
tna says this machine offers<br />
both production flexibility<br />
and improved performance<br />
in a compact, easy-to-clean<br />
The easy to clean bagger helps with the allergen-free product positioning<br />
system. With its rotary double<br />
jaws, the new bagger was<br />
quickly able to deliver the<br />
company’s target speeds of<br />
150 bags per minute, doubling<br />
the performance of the<br />
previous equipment and<br />
transforming Riverside’s<br />
production line efficiencies.<br />
Featuring a small<br />
footprint to maximise<br />
the limited factory<br />
space available,<br />
the tna robag was<br />
delivered to Riverside<br />
as a completely<br />
integrated<br />
solution,<br />
which also<br />
incorporates<br />
tna’s intelliweigh<br />
0314<br />
omega series<br />
of high speed<br />
multihead<br />
scales. Capable<br />
of up to 200<br />
weighments per<br />
minute, the unit<br />
offers high accuracy<br />
to reduce product loss.<br />
Riverside’s granola minis<br />
are packed with wholesome,<br />
certified organic ingredients,<br />
including a multitude of fine,<br />
particulate materials such as<br />
seeds, flakes and grains.<br />
To prevent these products<br />
from affecting the seal<br />
integrity of the bags, tna<br />
installed cross feeders with<br />
integrated sifter to remove<br />
small particles from the line<br />
before the product reaches<br />
the bag. In addition, tna’s<br />
product in seal detection<br />
technology automatically<br />
triggers a reject mechanism<br />
if it detects product or particles<br />
in the seal area.<br />
This means that Riverside<br />
is able to quickly remove<br />
bags from the line for further<br />
inspection before they enter the<br />
secondary packaging process.<br />

Japanese milk products producer<br />
Meiji Co is benefiting from<br />
greater performance coupled<br />
with lower energy consumption<br />
following the installation of<br />
InnoPET Blomax technology<br />
from KHS.<br />
“On the Japanese market,<br />
which takes high technical<br />
requirements and flexibility for<br />
granted in conjunction with great<br />
reliability, energy efficiency is<br />
a decisive argument,” explains<br />
Matthias Gernhuber, head of area<br />
sales and product management<br />
for Asia-Pacific at KHS.<br />
The energy-efficient InnoPET<br />
Blomax Series IV, which produces<br />
48,000 PET bottles per hour in<br />
Japan, also satisfied the hygiene<br />
specifications required for Meiji’s<br />
milk beverages.<br />
Meiji needed to meet growing<br />
demand for its products but its<br />
new investment also had to cut<br />
production costs. To this end,<br />
the bottler first optimised the<br />
consumption of plastics materials<br />
together with KHS, reducing it<br />
by over 30%, which in turn also<br />
lowered the amount of energy used.<br />
As a sustainable company, saving<br />
on resources is a central component<br />
in Meiji’s corporate activities.<br />
The installation was the 555th<br />
Series IV Blomax machine sold<br />
by KHS. “Developed to focus on<br />
energy efficiency, this machine<br />
is very popular the world over,”<br />
says Gernhuber. Thanks to<br />
its space-saving layout and<br />
optimised mechanical sequences,<br />
customers like Meiji profit from<br />
fewer moving parts which results<br />
in cost effective maintenance.<br />

the maximum flexibility<br />
with the highest equipment<br />
performance, says Mark<br />
Brooker director of Cama in<br />
the UK. The line is made up<br />
of two different types of<br />
robotic units integrated within<br />
one machine, demonstrating<br />
the company’s modular<br />
construction philosophy.<br />

The Cama machine has been designed to address requests for multi-sku single cases with uneven product quantities<br />
All of Cama’s robotic solutions<br />
are designed, manufactured,<br />
assembled and programmed<br />
at its factory in Northern Italy.<br />
The first robot type is<br />
Cama’s Triaflex delta robot<br />
for high speed, low weight<br />
pick and place applications<br />
with up to 4 axes of motion<br />
control. Four Triaflex robots<br />
manipulate incoming<br />
products arriving in two lanes,<br />
one lane for each specific<br />
variety. Infeed rates are<br />
120 products per minute<br />
(total infeed rate is 240<br />
products per minute) with<br />
the Triaflex robots mixing<br />
the different primary packs<br />
into a pre-arranged layer<br />
configuration.<br />
This layer configuration<br />
can handle on-edge, lay flat or<br />
standing product orientations.<br />
Once the required product<br />
configuration has been<br />
achieved, instability is<br />
minimised through the use of<br />
an inclined and collating bed.<br />
Brooker says this overcomes<br />
the risk of products moving<br />
out of position due to any<br />
unwanted acceleration or<br />
deceleration.<br />
The system had the<br />
flexibility to allow different<br />
configurations between<br />
layers assuming a consistent<br />
footprint is maintained for<br />
effective top loading into the<br />
final outer packaging.<br />
The pre-formed layers are<br />
transferred to the subsequent<br />
loading unit which comprises<br />
a multi-head 3-axis top load<br />
robot with line tracking.<br />
At the same time, a Cama<br />
phasing unit positions the<br />
required number of empty<br />
boxes or trays under the 3-axis<br />
robot, which loads the layers<br />
of products into the final<br />
packaging. Once the required<br />
number of layers is built up,<br />
the filled trays are indexed out<br />
of the machine for either top<br />
flap closing, lid application or<br />

The driving factors behind<br />
the purchasing decision<br />
was the line engineering<br />
and materials handling<br />
expertise shown by the team<br />
at Gebo Cermex during the<br />

Accuracy combined with a<br />
high degree of availability are<br />
two of the benefits of a 10-head<br />
multihead weigher from<br />
Ishida that has been installed<br />
at Swiss fresh and frozen food<br />

brand new line for handling<br />
fresh pasta such as tortellini,<br />
tortelloni, spaetzle, and<br />
‘Schupfnudeln’ (potato<br />
dumplings), and was specially<br />
adapted for use at Frostag<br />
to enable the pasta to be<br />
processed quickly but gently.<br />
Its starch component can<br />
cause pasta to stick, which<br />
makes it difficult for efficient<br />
weighing.<br />
To prevent residues from<br />
building up on the weigher,<br />
contact parts are coated with<br />
special surface materials.<br />

MACH <strong>2018</strong> Review<br />
Showing visitors how robots<br />
can transform manufacturing<br />
Sir Ben Ainslie opened the event<br />
MACH <strong>2018</strong> saw a<br />
positive buzz across<br />
the 5-day event<br />
MACH <strong>2018</strong> closed its doors<br />
after a busy five days in April.<br />
“The feeling and buzz<br />
across the halls appeared to be<br />
very positive,” reported MTA<br />
president Geoff Bryant.<br />
“Of course, this is the first time<br />
in this location, so we are not<br />
comparing like with like, but the<br />
feeling was very much one of an<br />
even spread of visitors across the<br />
whole of the new layout, which of<br />
course was the prime reason we<br />
decided to relocate here.”<br />
The number of working<br />
machines on display at MACH<br />
<strong>2018</strong> was about 10% greater<br />
than at the previous event,<br />
creating both interest and<br />
also visitor engagement.<br />
“The aim of every exhibitor is<br />
to get people in front of the kit<br />
they are offering, and working<br />
machinery is a compelling way<br />
to do that,” he says.<br />

Visitors to ABB’s stand saw<br />
how the latest advances<br />
in robotic automation<br />
can help them find new ways<br />
to transform their productivity<br />
and efficiency. The exhibit<br />
featured new machine tending<br />
robots, demonstrations of<br />
robotic inspection and welding<br />
systems, plus collaborative<br />
software and technology that<br />
enables robots and people<br />
to work side-by-side.<br />
Together, the displays<br />
showed how the flexibility and<br />
efficiency of robots can make<br />
manufacturing companies<br />
more competitive and how<br />
robot technology can be<br />
used to help create the smart<br />
factories of the future.<br />
Making their debut were<br />
the FlexLoader SC3000 and<br />
FlexLoader FP800 machine<br />
tending cells. Available fully<br />
pre-engineered, the cells<br />
provide a flexible and simple<br />
solution that can be quickly<br />
deployed to handle a wide<br />
variety of machine tending<br />
tasks in operation.<br />
With its modular design,<br />
the FlexLoader can be quickly<br />
and easily customised to meet<br />
changing requirements, says<br />
ABB. Parts can be loaded<br />
by conveyor or drawer,<br />
depending on what works<br />
best on the shop floor. Capable<br />
of handling an unlimited<br />
number of workpieces in a<br />
variety of sizes and shapes<br />
with no need for mechanical<br />
fixtures, the SC3000 can<br />
increase machine tool<br />
utilisation by up to 90%<br />
compared with traditional<br />
manual machine tools.<br />
ABB also participated in<br />
the exhibition’s educational<br />
stand where young visitors<br />
could try out a virtual reality<br />
ABB included examples<br />
of its family of machine<br />
tending robots at MACH<br />
demonstration built around<br />
RobotStudio, ABB’s offline<br />
programming software<br />
and also try their luck at<br />
competing against a robot<br />
in a simulated production<br />
challenge.<br />
“Our participation on the<br />
educational stand is just one<br />
part of our broader range of<br />
activities aimed at helping<br />
to find and support the<br />
manufacturing engineers of<br />
tomorrow,” says Mike Wilson,<br />

Wide range of industrial vision technologies demonstrated<br />
benefits to be gained from machine learning and 3D vision<br />
Stemmer Imaging showed a<br />
wide range of industrial vision<br />
technologies that covered part<br />
and assembly verification,<br />
new 3D measurement<br />
capabilities, versatile general<br />
inspection and measurement<br />
systems and the latest<br />
machine learning approach to<br />
pattern recognition.<br />
Visitors attracted to the<br />
stand by a football floating on<br />
an air stream were able to see<br />
a demonstration of the CVB<br />
Polimago pattern matching<br />
tool – part of the company’s<br />
Common Vision Blox (CVB)<br />
hardware-independent<br />
machine vision library.<br />
CVB Polimago uses the latest<br />
machine learning methods to<br />
determine the position, pose<br />
and rotation of the items for<br />
pick and place applications.<br />
Here the tool is identifying<br />
the type and position of icons<br />
on the ball in real time, even<br />
though the random movement<br />
and rotation of the ball<br />
distorts the appearance of<br />
the icons due to perspective.<br />
Two new 3D tools within<br />
CVB were also shown.<br />
Metric3D can create calibrated<br />
3D data, while Match3D allows<br />
an acquired point cloud to be<br />
matched to a trained point<br />
cloud. This enables differences<br />
between the trained and test<br />
data to be found in order to<br />
differentiate between good<br />
and bad parts.<br />

Record attendance for the<br />
food & drink supplier fair<br />
Anuga FoodTec <strong>2018</strong> that<br />
took place in Cologne<br />
this March saw more<br />
than 50,000 visitors from the<br />
food industry enter the halls<br />
which was an 11% increase<br />
over the previous event.<br />
These increased numbers<br />
were in some part attributable<br />
to the rise in the number of<br />
trade visitors from outside<br />
Germany. “We were able to<br />
register significant growth<br />
from China, Italy, Korea,<br />
Poland, Russia and South<br />
America,” explains Katharina<br />
C Hamma, chief operating<br />
officer of event organiser<br />
Koelnmesse. “The huge<br />
interest from the international<br />
guests and the high quality<br />
of the visitors shows us that<br />
the alignment and concept of<br />
Anuga FoodTec do justice to<br />
the demands of the trade fair<br />
participants,” she continues.<br />
Indeed, visitors from leading<br />
global food producers from<br />
152 countries were at the show.<br />
The event also registered<br />
growth in exhibition space<br />
as well as a 13% increase<br />
in the number of exhibitors<br />
Proseal demonstrated its<br />
GT4s tray sealer which is<br />
capable of sealing speeds of<br />
up to 210 packs per minute<br />
with an 8-impression tool<br />
at the exhibition. The GT4s<br />
is ideal for many different<br />
applications while its compact<br />
dimensions mean it can fit<br />
easily into production lines<br />
with restricted space.<br />
The unit incorporates<br />
several proven features<br />
that help to maximise<br />
performance, reliability and<br />
efficiency. For instance,<br />
This year, 1,657 suppliers from 48 countries greeted the 50,000 show visitors<br />
before the doors opened.<br />
“Visitor numbers impressively<br />
underpin our position as the<br />
leading international supplier<br />
fair for the food and beverage<br />
industry,” claims Hamma.<br />
Once again, visitors could<br />
see and learn about the<br />
entire production cycle and<br />
in the course of which were<br />
able to experience live both<br />
individual solutions as well<br />
as holistic, cross-process<br />
concepts in all production<br />
stages and food industries,<br />
says the organiser. In all five<br />
exhibition segments – Food<br />
Packaging, Safety & Analytics,<br />
Food Processing, Food<br />
Ingredients as well as Services<br />
& Solutions – the companies<br />
presented a cross-industry<br />
and cross-production range<br />
of exhibition offers.<br />

members exhibited at the<br />
event and over the next four<br />
pages, we highlight just some<br />
of the products on show.<br />
W www.anugafoodtec.com<br />
Electric heat seal technology was shown<br />
on various plastic tray sealing machines<br />
the company’s E-seal<br />
technology ensures excellent<br />
seal reliability to meet the<br />
stringent quality requirements<br />
of the food retail sector.<br />
It provides an increased seal<br />
force of 600% while at the<br />
same time, achieving a 92%<br />
reduction in energy usage.<br />
In addition, ProMotion,<br />
which increases throughput<br />
with following motion<br />
and intelligent buffering<br />
technology, enables trays<br />
to feed continuously into<br />
the sealer without stopping,<br />
helping to improve speeds<br />
by up to 30%.<br />
The GT4s was joined<br />
by the new Proseal TTe, a<br />
small, compact, and robust<br />
tray sealer ideal for low<br />
volume production that<br />
also incorporates E-seal<br />
technology. Capable of sealing<br />
up to eight skin packs per<br />
minute on a 2-impression<br />
tool, the TTe is designed for<br />
customers that frequently<br />
switch between pack types.<br />

Contact-free<br />
measuring<br />
& weighing<br />
The possibilities and benefits<br />
that superconductor technology<br />
can bring to the food processing,<br />
pharmaceuticals and medical<br />
technology industries were part of<br />
the Festo stand at Anuga FoodTec.<br />
One of the many possibilities<br />
was shown by the SupraSensor,<br />
an application-oriented exhibit<br />
that demonstrated the function<br />
of a contactless balance, which<br />
could be used for example on<br />
sterile workbenches in biological<br />
or chemical analytics. This<br />
concept allows various physical<br />
quantities, such as weight,<br />
density, viscosity or temperature,<br />
to be measured using a forcebased<br />
measuring system.<br />
IN THE LABORATORY<br />
“In a laboratory environment,<br />
workplace surfaces remain clear<br />
of apparatus and can therefore<br />
be effectively and easily cleaned,<br />
since everything except the carrier<br />
for the item to be weighed can be<br />
screened from the surroundings,”<br />
explains Georg Berner, head of<br />
strategic corporate development<br />
at Festo. “Only the weighing pan<br />
carrying the item hovers over the<br />
table top - without the danger<br />
of cross-contamination via the<br />
workplace surface or tools.”<br />
The entire weighing apparatus<br />
can also be decoupled.<br />
If the pan is not needed, it can<br />
be removed and the entire working<br />
space of the sterile workbench<br />
becomes available. This is made<br />
possible by a special characteristic<br />
of superconductors: they can hold<br />
magnets in suspension at a fixed<br />
distance when cooled to a certain<br />
temperature. The exhibit thus<br />
demonstrated how a workroom<br />
and laboratory equipment,<br />
including sensors, can be coupled<br />
to each other without contact<br />
despite spatial separation.<br />
In addition, this technology<br />
offers further possibilities such<br />
as analytical determination of<br />
density or viscosity.<br />

This, says Kecol, avoids<br />
any manual handling issues<br />
for the operatives.<br />
The articulated Powerprime<br />
is available in painted<br />
construction or stainless steel<br />
construction and is designed<br />

This ensures that the yogurt<br />
does not adhere to the foil lid<br />
– which would be the case<br />
with higher cycle rates.<br />
A 3D scanner installed on<br />
the line ensures that yogurt<br />
cups with damaged or<br />

Drives can<br />

Nord Drivesystems exhibited<br />
its aluminium drive units for<br />
the food and beverage industry<br />
at Anuga. These lightweight,<br />
corrosion-resistant gear units,<br />
smooth surface motors, frequency<br />
inverters and motor starters in<br />
wash-down optimised die cast<br />
aluminium housings are robust<br />
and durable thanks to a special<br />
surface treatment called Nord nsd<br />
tupH surface protection.<br />
For use in demanding<br />
environments, the company offers<br />
this anti-corrosion treatment<br />
for aluminium drive units as an<br />
alternative to painted case iron or<br />
stainless steel versions. With this<br />
process, the material is hardened<br />
below the surface and this surface<br />
treatment creates a protective<br />
layer which is permanently bonded<br />
to the substrate material.<br />
It is based on an electrolytic<br />
process and gives aluminium<br />
corrosion resistance properties<br />
which are similar to those of<br />
stainless steel. The scratchresistant<br />
surface is more than<br />
seven times harder than untreated<br />
aluminium alloy which means the<br />
drives can easily withstand high<br />
pressure steam washing or contact<br />
with aggressive media.<br />
Among other applications,<br />
Nord nsd tupH modules are used<br />
in the many conveyor systems<br />
which are used in oyster farming<br />
and, in practice, they often outlive<br />
the ten year life cycle of the<br />
conveyor belts which they drive,<br />
as they can withstand the salty<br />
environment easily.<br />

also had the opportunity to<br />
find out more about energy<br />
management, manufacturing<br />

and security.<br />
Siemens also demonstrated<br />
how producers can use the<br />
digital twin of a product,<br />
machine or a whole plant to<br />
generate added value. When<br />
creating a recipe for a new<br />
Siemens illustrated how companies can respond to changing market demands<br />
product, for instance, data<br />
relating to the ingredients<br />
is transferred directly to the<br />
label, taking into account<br />
legal rules and regulations.<br />
This is made possible by using<br />
the Teamcenter shared data<br />
platform. Using the plant’s<br />
digital twin, it is also possible<br />
to test out planned changes<br />
to the plant and what effect<br />
they will have on production<br />
capacity. This capability<br />
permits the food industry –<br />
as well as other sectors of<br />
the manufacturing and<br />
process industries – to<br />
significantly increase its<br />
innovation speed and boost<br />
its productivity, and also to<br />
take the lead in defining whole<br />
new business models.<br />
Siemens says this<br />
development can also benefit<br />
machine and plant builders<br />
and allow them to pass<br />
the advantages on to their<br />
customers.<br />
At Anuga, Siemens also<br />
illustrated how companies can<br />
respond flexibly to changing<br />
market demands – such as the<br />
growing diversity of different<br />
flavours – across every<br />
stage from food processing<br />
to packaging, labelling and<br />
filling. Visitors to the show<br />
had the chance to experience<br />
how chocolate bars can be<br />
precisely manufactured to<br />
individual customer order.<br />
The scope offered by<br />
digitalisation enables<br />
consumers to design products<br />
and packaging in line with<br />
their own personal tastes.<br />
This facility was illustrated<br />
by Siemens using the example<br />
of chocolate processing –<br />
from the product idea through<br />
actual manufacture and filling<br />
to packaging and labelling<br />
using end-to-end automation<br />
and data utilisation.<br />
Digital twins of the products,<br />
plants and production lines<br />
are simulated and optimised<br />

The ThermoSkin packaging solution was demonstrated<br />
on a compact, flexible and cost efficient thermoformer<br />
At Anuga, Sealpac highlighted<br />
its ThermoSkin packaging<br />
solution on a compact<br />
and cost-efficient PRO14<br />
thermoformer with auxiliary<br />
equipment from Converging<br />

All of the Sealpac PRO-series<br />
thermoformers have a small<br />
footprint, requiring little space<br />
in the production area. But<br />
they also have an extremely<br />
large loading zone, which is<br />
accessible from both sides,<br />
to make product loading<br />
easy. Furthermore, these<br />
robust thermoformers have a<br />
modular design that can be<br />
easily adapted to individual<br />
requirements.<br />
The PRO14 thermoformer<br />
is now capable of handling<br />
even more applications:<br />
from flexible film vacuum<br />
packaging, rigid film modified<br />
atmosphere packaging,<br />
shrink packaging, up to skin<br />
packaging. In Cologne, a line<br />
was demonstrated producing<br />
vacuum skin packaging.<br />

The FCL cup filling and<br />
sealing machine is designed<br />
for dairy and food products,<br />
and combines three key<br />
benefits: operator and product<br />
safety; enhanced efficiency;<br />
and format and application<br />
flexibility. Consequently,<br />
it gives food producers a<br />
competitive edge to help<br />
satisfy market demands,<br />
says Bosch.<br />
Moreover, the machine<br />
has been awarded the<br />
3-A SSI certificate, ensuring<br />
compliance with the most<br />
stringent hygiene standards<br />
and addressing the increasing<br />
needs for simplified cleaning<br />

Labelling, Coding & Marking<br />
Thermal ink jet can make<br />
traceability easier to gain<br />
systems need to be<br />
“Traceability<br />
compliant, but they<br />
needn’t be complicated thanks<br />
to thermal inkjet technology,”<br />
says Steve Ryan, UK sales<br />
manager at Rotech Machines.<br />
“And the good news is that<br />
you don’t need a sophisticated<br />
IT infrastructure and RFIDtagging<br />
to demonstrate<br />
traceability,” he continues.<br />
“If you already have<br />
automated, on-line date<br />
coding, chances are, you<br />
have all the ingredients of<br />
a traceability system; it’s<br />
just a case of knowing how<br />
to use them.”<br />
Larger food manufacturers<br />
with complex supply chains<br />
may prefer to go down the<br />
route of investing in databasedriven<br />
traceability systems.<br />
However, smaller and mediumsized<br />
operators who find<br />
the prospect of traceability<br />
daunting should consider<br />
whether they really need to<br />
go to that expense when they<br />
can achieve the same result<br />
with a more simple and costeffective<br />
set-up, says Ryan.<br />
The only ongoing cost with TIJ is the purchase of a replacement cartridge<br />
“It is worth bearing in mind,<br />
though, that your traceability<br />
is only as good as your printer -<br />
and for consistent, high quality<br />
codes that won’t let you down,<br />
thermal ink jet (TIJ) is a safe<br />
bet,” he asserts.<br />
In recent years, TIJ has<br />
emerged as a viable coding<br />
technology for printing<br />
traceability information onto<br />
food packs. For the majority of<br />
packaged food products, Ryan<br />
believes this cartridge-based<br />
technology offers advantages<br />
over continuous ink jet and<br />
thermal transfer in terms<br />
of cost, convenience and<br />
print clarity, as well as being<br />
cleaner and safer for users and<br />
the environment.<br />
The technology also works<br />
with on-line quality control<br />
cameras that are increasingly<br />
being deployed in many food<br />
factories.<br />

A continuous ink jet printer is meeting the condensation<br />
challenge posed by a German producer of frozen cakes<br />
A Linx 8900 continuous ink<br />
jet (CIJ) printer is enabling<br />
erlenbacher backwaren, a<br />
German manufacturer of frozen<br />
cakes, to effectively and reliably<br />
mark its plastic film packaging,<br />
even through condensation.<br />
Since the company started<br />
using the Linx model – supplied<br />
by Linx’s German agent Bluhm<br />
Systeme – it has been highly<br />
impressed with its printing<br />
capabilities and also the ease<br />
of operation.<br />
Cakes are subject to<br />
temperature differences during<br />
the production process, which<br />
can lead to condensation<br />
forming on the packaging film.<br />
The Linx 8900 is able to print<br />
through a layer of moisture to<br />
deliver a clear, readable and<br />
durable code, which remains<br />
in place on the substrate in<br />
temperatures of minus 35<br />
degrees in deep-freeze storage.<br />
As part of erlenbacher<br />
backwaren’s quality<br />
assurance programme, the<br />
cakes are printed with a batch<br />
ID number as well as the<br />
compulsory use-by date but<br />
Maintenance is easy and the 8900 printer only needs servicing every 18 months<br />
this hasn’t slowed production.<br />
“Frozen products pass the<br />
printer at a speed of 35 metres<br />
per minute, so that more than<br />
1,000 units can be marked<br />
per hour,” explains Walter<br />
Thellmann who is responsible<br />
for maintenance at the company.<br />

Feature: Chemicals<br />
While governments<br />
and public<br />
sector<br />
organisations<br />
are most<br />
interested in controlling<br />
packaging waste, the industrial<br />
packaging sector is sensitive<br />
to the need to balance this<br />
with the necessary protection<br />
that packaging provides its<br />
product – particularly when<br />
dealing with hazardous<br />
materials. This, of course,<br />
includes chemicals – both<br />
industrial and household –<br />
and also the machinery that<br />
handles the various types<br />
of packaging used.<br />
In an increasingly global<br />
market, the responsibility for<br />
assuring safety in transporting<br />
hazardous materials is<br />
growing and relies on<br />
international bodies, such as<br />
the United Nations. However,<br />
the sector is not exempt from<br />
environmental concerns<br />
about its packaging, and so<br />
reconditioning of packaging<br />
is still an important sector.<br />
The chemicals and pharma<br />
sector is seen as the most<br />
significant end-use market for<br />
industrial packaging.<br />
Smaller options are, of<br />
course, used for consumer<br />
packs of household chemicals,<br />
all of which need mixers or<br />
fillers or various wrappers<br />
to bring them to market safely.<br />
And the aggressive nature<br />
of many products in this<br />
sector has an impact on the<br />
machinery chosen.<br />
FILLING CHALLENGES<br />
Filling viscous products<br />
brings its own challenges,<br />
and ones that Adelphi<br />
Masterfil is used to.<br />
The company works with<br />
a wide range of household<br />
products such as detergents,<br />
car shampoos, and washing<br />
up liquids as well as supplying<br />
its fillers to manufacturers of<br />
industrial and construction<br />
based chemical products.<br />
According to its Northern<br />
sales manager Andy Clark,<br />
the company’s System F fillers<br />
offer users in this industry<br />
Heavy-duty, high speed shrink wrappers have coped with the challenging environment at Bulk Products<br />
Stand up to<br />
all hazards<br />
<strong>Machinery</strong> <strong>Update</strong> talks to machinery suppliers about<br />
the challenges posed by various chemical products<br />
a number of benefits.<br />
“The hygienic design gives<br />
the ability to keep the machine<br />
and production area clean,<br />
and the quick strip of wetted<br />
parts means different products<br />
can be filled without the<br />
need for costly production<br />
downtime when switching<br />
over products,” he says.<br />
“The quick strip eliminates<br />
the risk of any potential cross<br />
contamination as well.”<br />
Initial sales of the System F<br />
have mainly been to chemical<br />
based contract manufacturers,<br />
since launch. We offer both<br />
a semi-automatic version,<br />
System F-600, for small scale<br />
production (which can be<br />
converted into an automatic<br />

heads at a later stage), as<br />
well as a full scale automatic<br />
machine, System F-1800,<br />
which can accommodate<br />
16 heads, he says.<br />
Within this industry we<br />
have seen priorities vary from<br />
customer to customer with<br />
what they need from their<br />
filling machine, depending<br />
on in-house protocols, he<br />
continues. However based<br />
on our most recent sales, our<br />
customers particularly like the<br />
quick strip of wetted parts and<br />
the ability to changeover to a<br />
new set in record time.<br />
“With multiple products to<br />
fill, this benefit negates the
www.machineryupdate.co.uk MAy/june <strong>2018</strong> MACHINERY UPDATE 53<br />
need of flushing and wasted<br />
production time,” he explains.<br />
“Speed seems to be key,<br />
and a reliable and efficient<br />
automatic filler that can<br />
offer maximum output with<br />
minimum input is important<br />
to this industry.”<br />
Meanwhile, TMI has<br />
developed the Ilersac V valve<br />
bag bagging machine,<br />
a unit that can incorporate an<br />
hygienic finish (according to<br />
version and need), which is<br />
ideal for working in demanding<br />
industries such as chemicals,<br />
since it pays special attention<br />
to accessibility, cleanliness,<br />
precision, safety, absence<br />
of dust, and maximum level<br />
of automation.<br />
It is a mechanism that<br />
incorporates ultrasound for<br />
bag closing and a placing<br />
station using an industrial<br />
robot, inside a closed chassis.<br />
SHRINKWRAP ORDERS<br />
Yorkshire Packaging<br />
Systems (YPS) has supplied<br />
several lines of shrink<br />
wrapping equipment to Bulk<br />
Products, manufacturers<br />
and distributors of a range of<br />
household cleaning products.<br />
The processing and<br />
packaging environments for<br />
companies in this industry<br />
are often punishing, says<br />
YPS, and chemical spills can<br />
damage and rust machinery<br />
due to the caustic properties<br />
of the liquids. This can render<br />
standard equipment useless<br />
after only a short period<br />
of time. Also, large bottles<br />
or boxes of one litre and<br />
two litre products can have<br />
significant weights which in<br />
turn, demands heavy-duty<br />
equipment.<br />
Furthermore, this industry<br />
is a classic volume business<br />
– high packing speeds are<br />
absolutely essential to meet<br />
demands.<br />
With these requirements<br />
in mind, the equipment<br />
YPS has supplied to Bulk<br />
Products boasted upgraded<br />
specifications in many areas.<br />
The line was enhanced with<br />
full collation hardware and<br />
was modified to have a multilaned<br />
infeed to increase<br />
speed. Also, easy-clean<br />
features such as removable<br />
belts were included to enable<br />
fast responses to spillages.<br />
Critically, the models were<br />
supplied in stainless steel<br />
rather than the usual mild<br />
steel to prevent rusting and<br />

Feature: Chemicals<br />
Diluting in<br />
a controlled<br />
and safe way<br />
When a large chemical industry supplier<br />
wanted to dilute imported SLES<br />
(sodium lauryl ether sulfate), an anionic<br />
detergent and surfactant found in many<br />
personal care products, it contacted<br />
Ytron-Quadro (UK).<br />
Dilution of 70% SLES is very difficult<br />
and must be carried out by the addition of<br />
the SLES to water and never the other way<br />
around, says Ytron-Quadro. It also has a<br />
very strong tendency to foam, so aeration<br />
must be avoided at all cost.<br />
The SLES was brought into the UK in<br />
ISO road tankers containing 27 tonnes of<br />
concentrated product. These tankers were<br />
connected to a metering system, which<br />
was used to pump the pre-set quantity<br />
of concentrated SLES to the two diluting<br />
vessels. These two vessels were each<br />
filled with approximately 19.5 tons of<br />
heated DI water.<br />
Each vessel has a side entry Ytron-Y<br />
directed jet mixer installed. This unit has<br />
a Ytron-ByPass system fitted to ensure<br />
that the concentrated SLES is diluted<br />
immediately on contact with the pre-filled<br />
water phase. The operation to pump<br />
the 7.5 tons of concentrated SLES at<br />
a controlled rate takes approximately<br />
4.5 hours.<br />
“It is important not to pump in the<br />
concentrated surfactant too quickly<br />
otherwise ‘strings’ of undiluted surfactant<br />
will circulate within the vessel and take<br />
a long time to be broken down, if at all,”<br />
explains executive chairman at Ytron-<br />
Quadro Dudley Bradley.<br />

unscrambling for canisters, a fast<br />
vertical rolls stuffing machine, a liquid<br />
filler and a cut and seal machine as well<br />
as a capper, a labeller and a form, fill and<br />
seal case packer.<br />
“These are not generic machines but<br />
were developed for the specific market<br />

Labelling, Drives Coding & Controls & Marking Review<br />
Wireless network module<br />
turned heads during show<br />
Demonstrated<br />
on the SMC<br />
Pneumatics<br />
stand was a<br />
new wireless<br />
module that is<br />
designed to<br />
increase<br />
productivity while<br />
reducing costs.<br />
The EX600W<br />
wireless manifold is a master<br />
and slave configuration that<br />
connects up to 127 slave<br />
modules to the master over<br />
a 10 metre radius and operates<br />
on a band width of up to<br />
2.4 GHz.<br />
“This allows us to operate<br />
well outside the range of<br />
normal mechanical industrial<br />
noise such as welding<br />
apparatus, normal mechanical<br />
noises or any other industrial<br />
style signals that often<br />
interfere with normal network<br />
configurations,” explains<br />
Jeremy Wicks, Drives &<br />
Networks at SMC.<br />
The system was developed<br />
following a request from an<br />
automotive manufacturing<br />
company that needed help<br />
The wireless network module was first developed for a car manufacturer in Japan<br />
to eliminate issues with<br />
cable failures, delays and<br />
downtime. “The best way to<br />
achieve this is to eliminate the<br />
cable completely, which<br />
is what we have achieved,”<br />
says Wicks. The system<br />
has now been operating<br />
successfully in Japan and the<br />
UK for five years.<br />
SMC demonstrated a<br />
common application for the<br />
wireless technology on its<br />
stand. Ideally, the master unit<br />
is placed in a network area, or<br />
in a safezone for robotics or<br />
basically away from any kind<br />
of motion or damage.<br />
The wireless slave units are<br />
then connected onto the<br />
motion point, for instance<br />
as a toolset attached to an<br />
SMC electric actuator to say,<br />
operate a gripper system to<br />
move automotive plates from<br />
place to place.<br />
In operation, however, any<br />
sort of tool set or any sort of<br />
motion system can be used.<br />
Using this technology<br />
allows a manifold to be fitted<br />
closer to the end application<br />
point which allows users to<br />
make things smaller, limit<br />
the size of the valves, reduce<br />
the size of the pipework and<br />
ultimately, reduce the amount<br />
of air required.<br />
In short, says Wicks, the new<br />
EX600W can offer increases<br />
in productivity while reducing<br />
energy costs for customers.<br />

Motion terminal takes<br />
pneumatics into future<br />
At the exhibition,<br />
Festo showed its<br />
new VTEM Motion<br />
Terminal that it says will<br />
propel pneumatics into the<br />
era of Industry 4.0 with<br />
apps that can replace over<br />
50 individual standard<br />
components, thanks to the<br />
latest developments in piezo<br />
technology and software.<br />
“We predict that the<br />
VTEM Motion Terminal<br />
will revolutionise<br />
automation technology in<br />
much the same way that<br />
the smartphone turned the<br />
mobile communication<br />
market on its head<br />
a decade ago,” says<br />
Andy Parker-Bates,<br />
product manager at<br />
Festo. “In addition to<br />
transforming pneumatic<br />
products into true Industry<br />
4.0 components, the VTEM<br />
simplifies system design,<br />
reduces costs and also offers<br />
greater energy efficiency.”<br />
Festo predicts that the new<br />
method of function integration<br />
exemplified by the VTEM<br />
– combined with software<br />
HMK showcased a new<br />
addition to its portfolio at<br />

Apps deliver new functions simply and quickly<br />
apps – will simplify the entire<br />
value chain, since only one<br />
piece of hardware will be<br />
required. Beneath the new<br />
Motion Terminal’s somewhat<br />
unassuming exterior and<br />
classic Festo product design<br />
lays technical refinement<br />
based on current information<br />
technology.<br />
Piezo technology, integrated<br />
stroke and pressure<br />
sensors, together with<br />
control via motion apps,<br />
opens up entirely new<br />
perspectives for machinery<br />
and plant manufacturers.<br />
At launch, the VTEM<br />
Motion Terminal offers<br />
ten different functions<br />
via motion apps: from<br />
basic modification of the<br />
directional control valve<br />
functions to energyefficient<br />
motion, and from<br />
proportional control to<br />
different motion profiles.<br />
What makes this so<br />
special is that the same<br />
valve hardware is used<br />
for everything.<br />
Thanks to the fast<br />
activation of new functions<br />

developers can create a basic<br />
machine type and then select<br />
the relevant apps on the fly,<br />

investment in industrial<br />
automation in ABB’s more than<br />
130-year history and lays the<br />
foundation for about 1,000 new<br />
high-tech jobs in Austria.<br />
Announced during Drives &<br />
Controls, the new innovation<br />
and training campus will develop<br />
technologies for the factory<br />
of the future, based on ABB<br />
AbilityTM, in which production<br />
will be undertaken autonomously<br />
by smart and cloud-connected<br />
machines and robots. With this<br />
investment, ABB is delivering<br />
on its Next Level strategy, which<br />
defines innovation as a key driver<br />
of profitable growth.<br />

development campus will cover<br />
35,000sq m and alongside<br />
ultra-modern R&D laboratories,<br />
which will develop and test<br />
new automation technologies,<br />
there will be an Automation<br />
Academy to train customers and<br />
employees. The ground-breaking<br />
ceremony is planned for this<br />
summer, and the new campus is<br />
expected to be up and running in<br />
the course of 2020.<br />
“B&R has had an excellent start<br />
within ABB and has exceeded<br />
our expectations and with this<br />
investment, we are strengthening<br />
this dynamic,” says ABB CEO<br />

Components<br />
New safety systems are<br />
reducing any downtime<br />
The NiMCO Corporation<br />
has just chosen a<br />
programmable safety<br />
system from elobau to ensure<br />
its form, fill and seal machines<br />
designed for milk producers<br />
can communicate ‘with the<br />
outside world’.<br />
The company had already<br />
been using elobau’s safety<br />
control units and input<br />
expansion units, but<br />
these devices didn’t have<br />
the capability needed to<br />
communicate with the outside<br />
world. The PLC they were<br />
using did, and they needed<br />
the same flexibility with the<br />
machine safety system which<br />
is why the US-based company<br />
choose eloProg, elobau’s<br />
programmable safety system.<br />
Having previously worked<br />
with elobau by using several<br />
other elobau products,<br />
NiMCO knew eloProg would<br />
offer the same reliability<br />
and functionality but with<br />
additional benefits.<br />
The ease of programming<br />
of the safety controller was<br />
one. The eloProg system also<br />
allows communication over<br />
In intralogistics as well as in<br />
the automotive and packaging<br />
industry, material locks<br />
often need to be safeguarded<br />
against unauthorised access<br />
by means of safety sensors.<br />
Previously, muting processes<br />
with muting sensors were<br />
required in order to clearly<br />
identify when transported<br />
goods were approaching a<br />
protective field and to bridge<br />
the passing of these goods<br />
through the protective field at<br />
the correct moment.<br />
However, with the SPG<br />
The safety controller takes up less rack space without losing functionality<br />
EtherNet IP, which was being<br />
used by the PLC and allowed<br />
NiMCO to communicate with<br />
both systems from anywhere<br />
over the internet. Also, due<br />
to its modular nature, the<br />
eloProg safety controller takes<br />
up less rack space without<br />
sacrificing any functionality.<br />
“Previous systems used<br />
separate elobau safety<br />
relays but the use of a single<br />
programmable safety controller<br />
moved all safety input signal<br />
functions to one single device,”<br />
says Robert Mensing, one<br />
of NiMCO’s control systems<br />
engineers. “Wiring between<br />
separate safety relays was<br />
eliminated, simplifying the<br />
safety circuit wiring, and the<br />
safety controller also has a<br />
smaller footprint, thus freeing<br />
up panel space.”<br />
The new system took up<br />
less space and allowed the<br />
Ethernet/IP router to be moved<br />
to the same rack area, resulting<br />
in more functionality and less<br />
wiring due to the modules and<br />
programmability of eloProg.<br />
Because NiMCO could<br />
now monitor the PLC and<br />
its operations, and also the<br />
machine safety system over<br />
the internet, both NiMCO and<br />
its customers now benefit from<br />
a reduction in downtime.<br />

more economical and safer with new sensors<br />
(Smart Process Gating)<br />
method developed by Leuze<br />
electronic, signal-emitting<br />
sensors are no longer needed.<br />
COMPACT OPTION<br />
Based on the MLC safety light<br />
curtains, conveyor systems<br />
can therefore be made<br />
more compact. The risk of<br />
misalignment or damage to<br />
the sensors is eliminated as<br />
are the costs for their<br />
maintenance and servicing.<br />
Furthermore, the<br />
purchasing costs, the wiring<br />
and risk of manipulation are<br />
reduced which increases the<br />
availability of the complete<br />
safety device. Particularly<br />
in the case of typical<br />
intralogistics applications, the<br />
height of the protective device<br />
is entirely dependent on the<br />
safety-related requirements.<br />
With SPG, the first muting<br />
signal comes from the process<br />
control (PLC), while the second<br />
muting signal is generated by<br />
the protective field itself.<br />

Drum motor<br />
is said to be<br />
a world first<br />
Rulmeca has increased the<br />
nominal output performance of<br />
its 80LS drum motors within an<br />
81.5mm diameter roller, from<br />
a maximum of 120 watts to a<br />
maximum of 160 watts.<br />
The 33% percent performance<br />
increase was achieved through<br />
the redesign of the stator, while<br />
the shortest available width of<br />
the new drum motor is 300 mm.<br />
To optimally transfer the high<br />
power to the belt, the drum<br />
shell can be provided with a<br />
rubber coating with a maximum<br />
permissible thickness of 5mm.<br />
“Our 80LS is the world’s<br />
first 80 diameter drum motor<br />
with an output power of 160<br />
watts in asynchronous design,”<br />
claims Grahame Halligan,<br />
general manager of Rulmeca UK<br />
Unit Handling. “Many system<br />
builders prefer the much more<br />
load-tolerant asynchronous drum<br />
motors,” he says.<br />
Rulmeca says this compact<br />
motorised drum with steel<br />
gearbox is reversible and perfect<br />
for high torque applications with<br />
limited space or access.<br />
Because of its strength,<br />
reliability, low operational<br />
noise and zero maintenance<br />
requirements, this motorised<br />
pulley is perfect for small<br />
infeed conveyors with highduty<br />
cycles. Applications are<br />
varied with functions in steel or<br />
plastic modular belt operations,<br />
packaging equipment,<br />
transfer conveyors in weighing<br />
or metal detectors, food<br />
processing equipment and also<br />
pharmaceutical handling.<br />
Halligan says that compared<br />
to many corresponding motor<br />
and gearbox systems commonly<br />
used in industry, Rulmeca drum<br />
motors are able to use less energy<br />
for the same performance.<br />

Components<br />
All-in-one design takes out<br />
the complexities and costs<br />
The latest range of Turtle<br />
pumps available from<br />
Simmatic feature a<br />
special all-in-one design<br />
that enables big savings<br />
to be made in the cost and<br />
complexity of vacuum systems<br />
for applications as diverse<br />
as carton erecting, package<br />
handling and labelling.<br />
And because of their small<br />
size and robust construction,<br />
the pumps can, in most<br />
applications, be installed<br />
close to the point of where<br />
the vacuum is needed.<br />
This ensures fast response<br />
to control signals – typically<br />
three times faster than<br />
conventional arrangements<br />
– and puts an end to the<br />
risk of leakage that is<br />
inevitably associated<br />
with long runs of<br />
pipework.<br />
At the heart of every Turtle<br />
pump is an efficient multistage<br />
vacuum cartridge that<br />
operates from a compressed<br />
air supply and produces an<br />
A fully integrated design means that few external components are needed<br />
almost constant level of<br />
vacuum over a wide range<br />
of air supply pressures.<br />
Each pump also incorporates<br />
an air control valve, a vacuum<br />
filter, a release control valve,<br />
a silencer and a vacuum<br />
gauge or switch.<br />
This fully integrated<br />
design means that few, if any<br />
external components are<br />
needed, which saves money,<br />
reduces installation time and<br />
simplifies pipework.<br />
Also, Turtle pumps feature<br />
self-cleaning vacuum filters.<br />
At each vacuum on-off cycle,<br />
dust is automatically cleared<br />
from the filter. This means<br />
that the pumps can operate for<br />
long periods without needing<br />
These Turtle<br />
pumps feature<br />
self-cleaning<br />
vacuum filters<br />
attention; their performance<br />
does not degrade over time as<br />
the filter progressively clogs,<br />
and that the plant downtime<br />
associated with the regular<br />
cleaning of conventional<br />
filters is eliminated.<br />
Turtle pumps from Simmatic<br />
are designed to work with<br />
compressed air supplies from<br />
4.5 to 6 bar and, depending<br />
on the application they can<br />
produce a vacuum of up to<br />
95 -kPa. They are quiet in<br />
operation, generating noise<br />
levels of less than 60 dBA,<br />
and have a wide operating<br />
temperature range of -20<br />
to +80deg C.<br />

High volume process and safety data can<br />
be shared between many PLC controllers<br />
New safety CPU modules that<br />
can now function as both a<br />
safety controller and a safety<br />
device are launched by ABB.<br />
The modules, when used<br />
with ABB’s AC500/AC500-S<br />
programmable logic controller<br />
(PLC), feature the ability to<br />
exchange process and safety<br />
data, not only from one<br />
controller to multiple devices,<br />
but also from one device to<br />
multiple controllers using<br />
PROFINET/PROFIsafe shared<br />
device functionality.<br />
Now, hybrid interconnected<br />
PLC control systems can<br />
extend traditional centralised<br />
or distributed control.<br />
As such, each controlled<br />
machine can deliver high<br />
volumes of process and<br />
safety data in real-time,<br />
simultaneously, to several<br />
central control systems.<br />
GATEWAY REPLACEMENT<br />
This solution replaces<br />
gateways which are expensive,<br />
take valuable control cabinet<br />
space and because they<br />
are limited to only 12 bytes<br />
of safety data per gateway,<br />
cannot communicate in<br />
real-time with large safety<br />
data volumes. With the new<br />
solution, a maximum of 1440<br />
bytes of process data including<br />
up to 384 bytes of functional<br />
safety data can be allocated<br />
for up to four PLC controller<br />
systems, therefore providing<br />
faster reaction to optimise the<br />
production and improve the<br />
predictive maintenance that<br />
leads to less downtime.<br />

64 MACHINERY UPDATE MAY/JUNE <strong>2018</strong> www.machineryupdate.co.uk<br />
Regulations<br />
Will our Directive<br />
be future fit?<br />
Paul Laidler Taylor<br />
Business MANAGER director FOR MACHINERY for <strong>Machinery</strong> SAFETY saftey AT TÜV At SÜD Tüv PRODUCT Süd Product SERVICE service<br />
As machinery becomes ever more agile and automated, so the approach to machinery safety must<br />
reflect and support that. However, the <strong>Machinery</strong> Directive has yet to catch up to changes<br />
The <strong>Machinery</strong> Directive<br />
2006/42/EC aims to<br />
guarantee the free<br />
movement of machinery<br />
within the European Union<br />
(EU), while ensuring a high<br />
level of protection for users<br />
and other exposed persons.<br />
However, rereading the<br />
results of the European<br />
Commission’s open public<br />
consultation on the evaluation<br />
of the performance of<br />
the <strong>Machinery</strong> Directive<br />
has highlighted to me some<br />
potential concerns for how<br />
effective the Directive will<br />
be in helping industry achieve<br />
the utopia of Industry 4.0.<br />
The public consultation<br />
assessed whether the<br />
Directive has achieved its<br />
goals effectively, efficiently<br />
and coherently, and if it<br />
remains relevant to industry.<br />
The evaluation process<br />
gained feedback from a range<br />
of stakeholders, including<br />
notified bodies, industry<br />
associations, workers,<br />
consultancies and also<br />
a standardisation body.<br />
ASSESSMENT PROCESS<br />
Feedback included a focus on<br />
whether the Directive was fit<br />
for purpose to support new<br />
technological developments,<br />
such as Industry 4.0 and<br />
the Internet of Things.<br />
This was all assessed against<br />
the extent to which the<br />
Directive contributed<br />
to the five areas of relevance,<br />
effectiveness, coherence,<br />
efficiency, and finally EU<br />
added value.<br />
Part of this research looked<br />
at innovation. When asked<br />
“to what extent does the<br />
current Directive sufficiently<br />
allow for innovation?” the<br />
jury was quite evenly split.<br />
44% of respondents felt that<br />
to a small or moderate extent<br />
the Directive had been able<br />
to deal with new innovations<br />
and technologies since its<br />
introduction, while 56% were<br />
slightly more positive and<br />
declared that this had been<br />
achieved to a larger extent,<br />
or entirely.<br />
Similarly, when asked<br />
whether the Directive was likely<br />
to be able to deal with new<br />
innovations and technologies<br />
over the next 10 years, 52%<br />
came out on the side of a ‘small’<br />
or ‘moderate extent’, while 49%<br />
answered that the Directive<br />
would support this to a large<br />
extent, or entirely.<br />
However, when asked how<br />
likely the Directive would be<br />
able to deal with changes to<br />
the business environment over<br />
the next 10 years, while split,<br />
respondents erred on the side<br />
of caution, with 55% citing<br />
‘to a moderate extent’, ‘to<br />
a small extent’ and ‘not at<br />
all’, while 45% agreed that<br />
it would be able to deal with<br />
such changes to a large extent<br />
or entirely.<br />
So, the figures would<br />
suggest that while half of<br />
respondents are upbeat about<br />
how the <strong>Machinery</strong> Directive<br />
will be able to support<br />
innovation in the machinery<br />
industry, the other half are<br />
not quite so convinced.<br />
Industry 4.0 will be a major<br />
paradigm shift for industry,<br />
where manufacturing will<br />
face massive disruption<br />
as developments move<br />
towards fully connected,<br />
self-organising intelligent<br />
factories. One of these<br />
disruptions will be finding the<br />
answer to a new machinery<br />
safety approach, which<br />
will require the <strong>Machinery</strong><br />
Directive to be more relevant,<br />
The public consultation on the<br />
<strong>Machinery</strong> Directive has highlighted<br />
several future Industry 4.0 issues<br />
effective and efficient than<br />
ever before.<br />
Currently, about 90%<br />
of machines in factories<br />
are unconnected, and<br />
machinery safety can be<br />
comfortably assessed in<br />
a static environment.<br />
If a machine has a substantial<br />
change made, a full CE<br />
marking and assessment<br />
process must be completed<br />
before it can be returned to<br />
service. However, Industry<br />
4.0 principles permit highly<br />
flexible, automated ‘plug and<br />
produce’ manufacturing,<br />
where machinery and<br />
production lines can be<br />
quickly reconfigured.<br />
Of course, as machine<br />
configurations change, so do<br />
the risk variables. Industry 4.0<br />
will therefore see a shift from<br />
static risk assessment to one<br />
of dynamic risk, which means<br />
that the <strong>Machinery</strong> Directive’s<br />
static risk assessment<br />
approach will not meet future<br />
requirements.<br />
The Standard’s bodies will<br />
therefore face significant<br />
challenges as we move<br />
towards fully connected,<br />
self-organising intelligent<br />
factories.<br />
NEW MODULAR METHOD<br />
One answer could be<br />
a modular method of<br />
certification that delivers<br />
integrated support for<br />
machinery end users as they<br />
progress towards Industry<br />
4.0. The key benefit of<br />
modular certification is the<br />
major cost and time savings<br />
it contributes to the operation<br />
of adaptive self-configuring<br />
Industry 4.0 production<br />
systems. Our experts are<br />
therefore developing a<br />
modular certification scheme<br />
for smart factory components,<br />
addressing issues such<br />
as interface standards,<br />
interoperability, functional<br />
safety and IT security.<br />
Directives, including the<br />
<strong>Machinery</strong> Directive, have not<br />
yet addressed the needs of an<br />
industry 4.0 environment,<br />
as Industry 4.0 becomes ever<br />
more agile and automated, so<br />
the approach to machinery<br />
safety must reflect and<br />
support that.<br />
