ZERO AIR
TRAY HEAT SEALER BLOWS AWAY THE COMPETITION
Packaging
Automation (PA) has revealed the next evolution of its Eclipse range of
high speed tray heat sealing machines as the first in the UK to operate
entirely without using any compressed air, providing food manufacturers
with the environmental benefits they are clamouring for without raising
costs or compromising reliability.
 Incorporating
PA's E-Seal technology, the new Eclipse SL4 is a unique, fully electrical
machine that, unlike the pneumatic/electric hybrids already on the market,
requires zero air for full operation while still achieving the same high
standards of rugged reliability, versatility and performance the Eclipse
range is renowned for.
With all operations
driven directly by small servomechanisms, running costs can be as low as
eight percent of an equivalent pneumatic system, resulting in significant
annual savings and a sizeable reduction in carbon footprint. The SL4 is
the first of the Eclipse range to benefit from this breakthrough in tray
sealing technology but, with the entire range now being upgraded to this
standard, food manufacturers can at last break free of their reliance on
expensive, inefficient and wasteful pneumatic systems.
Food factories run
various operations on a ring main of compressed air but these can be up to
sixty percent inefficient resulting in huge amounts of waste.
Additionally, as a company grows it requires bigger compressors or spare
compressors with the associated increase in capital costs, running costs
and environmental impact.
The Eclipse machines
are designed using the same technology that has already been utilised and
proven reliable in other PA equipment. Using the instant response and
accuracy of a servo in the film feed system means that it is fully
synchronised leading to fewer film breakages caused by pressure variations
and consequent roll tension variances.
Sealing up to five
packs at once, the SL4 and, the smaller, SL3 are the latest additions to
the Eclipse range, joining the successful SL6 single lane and TL6 twin
lane which achieves impressive seal speeds of up to 200 per minute. The
Eclipse range includes an inbuilt tool loading system which, when combined
with the lightest tools in the market, allows for two minute manual
changeovers without the need for a mobile loading jig.
All machines in the
range use the latest technology to help food and drink manufacturers
become more cost effective and more environmentally friendly. By
incorporating the Eco-CutTM option and the capability to run sealing film
as thin as 17 micron, film usage is reduced by an impressive 20 percent
when compared to existing tray sealers. In addition the machine cuts
energy costs by switching automatically to stand-by when not in use.
The design also
achieves further efficiency savings as a result of other key tooling
features including redesigned heater mats with an integrated thermocouple.
Manufactured from a new waterproof material, these mats heat up to 30
percent faster and have a significantly longer life than materials
previously used.
PA's sales manager Neil Ashton said: "Food manufacturers are desperate to
reduce carbon footprints and their reliance on compressed air systems is a
big stumbling block. Their facilities use compressed air for a variety of
applications and it can account for more than 10 percent of a site's
electricity consumption. The Eclipse range was designed from scratch to
give rugged, reliable and flexible machines that offer greater speed,
flexibility and cost savings. Adding the significant environmental benefit
of a zero air operation finally addresses the challenges faced by many
food manufacturers."
He added: "Some areas
of the industry, such as soft fruit producers, do not have the year round
demand for a compressed air infrastructure so a tray heat sealer that you
can just plug and play when seasonally needed is an enormous advantage. We
are acutely aware of the need for versatility in all sectors of the food
industry and have worked closely with our customers to identify current
operating and production priorities and build in future-proof flexibility
to our machines."
A further new
development for the Eclipse range is an internet based remote access
feature that allows the company's support engineers to access the
machine's HMI screen and PLC software from their desks at PA's site in
Knutsford. This can be used to quickly diagnose and fix software issues or
to improve functionality, at a customer's request, without the engineer
needing to travel to site - which has its own environmental benefit in
reducing air miles and CO2 emissions.

RPC Rigid Plastic Packaging provides more flexible solution for FDL
customers
The UK’s leading single-source packaging solutions provider, FDL
Packaging Group of Haydock, Merseyside has been appointed as a UK
distributor for RPC Containers UK Injection Moulding, part of Europe’s
leading manufacturer of rigid plastic packaging, the RPC Group.
The appointment follows FDL’s highly-successful seven-year relationship as
UK distributor for Superfos, which was recently acquired by RPC.
 EUROPE’S
RIGID PLASTIC PACKAGING SPECIALIST
RPC supplies products
made using all three conversion processes - blow moulding, injection
moulding and thermoforming - to customers throughout Europe and beyond,
from the largest manufacturers of consumer products to the smallest
businesses. Its UK injection moulding sites manufacture a variety of
containers for markets such as paint and surface coatings, DIY and food,
including plastic paint cans, open top pails and buckets, and small pots.
RIGID YET MORE FLEXIBLE
As FDL Packaging
Group Sales Director Dave Scotting explains: ‘FDL’s new relationship with
RPC builds upon the successful partnership the company enjoyed for many
years with Superfos. It is a tribute to the strength of that partnership
that, when Superfos was bought by RPC, the company saw us as a suitable
partner to continue the relationship and distribute its highly innovative
injection moulded product range in the UK. At FDL, we are constantly on
the lookout for new ways to make our product offering even more flexible,
to cover all of our customers’ needs. And the addition of the RPC range to
the FDL portfolio certainly helps to achieve that’.
KEEPING EVERYTHING IN STOCK SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO
FDL Packaging Group
seeks to provide a single packaging resource solution to meet all manner
of requirements across its incredibly diverse client base, ranging from
the delicate small specialist containers used in laboratories to large
bottles and drums for the safe transportation and storage of all manner of
substances including hazardous materials.
In fact, FDL Packaging offers well over 1,000 different product lines from
its four-acre Haydock site. The FDL Packaging service can accommodate
direct full vehicle load deliveries, mixed full load deliveries and
virtually any part load combination from stock. While, to ensure that all
forward orders and ‘just in time’ requirements can be met, sufficient
stock levels are constantly maintained at the FDL Packaging site.
What this all means of course, when taking into account reduced
warehousing, transport, processing and other associated administration
costs, is that the FDL approach can help the average company to reduce its
annual packaging bill by a remarkable 25%. While, just as importantly,
removing the packaging imperative from the procurement department’s
day-to-day workload can produce greater efficiencies elsewhere.
UNRIVALLED STANDARDS, U.N-APPROVED
Operating to ISO
9001:2008 and BRC IOP food standard, FDL Packaging offers the highest
standard of expertise in packaging and access to all current legislation.
The company has developed a whole range of packaging solutions that meet

New Borsoft™ PP grade makes squeezable tube innovation a reality for
cosmetics packaging
Borealis’ first
polypropylene (PP) grade for squeezable cosmetics tubes, Borsoft™ SL600MO,
is the material innovation behind an inspirational, sustainability-focused
packaging solution for the cosmetics sector called CLUBE®.
 Developed
by Plasticum Group, a leading European manufacturer and designer of
innovative plastic packaging solutions, CLUBE is a one piece squeezable
tube with an integrated closure and in-mould label (IML) that cuts
material usage by up to 40%. CLUBE is unique in enabling all three
elements to be produced in one single bi-injection moulding production
step, instead of the traditional three, for more efficient production and
a series of knock-on productivity, design and environment-related
benefits. Borsoft SL600MO was created specifically by Borealis, a leading
provider of chemical and innovative plastics solutions, for this project.
Tailored to meet the needs of the production process and the tube, the
grade was optimised for outstanding flowability, good flexibility,
excellent contact transparency and outstanding environmental stress crack
resistance (ESCR).
The material’s
excellent flow and easy processing characteristics enable the formation of
a soft tube body capable of supporting an integrated closure. From a
sustainability perspective, potential elimination of the tube shoulder
creates significant savings in material usage. Less waste and rejections
occur, and the PP tube and cap material are fully recyclable. As a result
of the simplified production process, downstream equipment investments are
significantly lower and, importantly, production cycle time and therefore
energy usage can be substantially reduced. The flexible system and easy
changeovers of colours and labels allow for short leadtimes and economic
production even with small-run customer projects.
The all-in-one
closure and tube construction offers unlimited design differentiation
possibilities to brand owners. Injection moulding allows more flexibility
of tube shape, for example, two chamber, oval, square or triangle shape,
combined with the high quality imaging of in-mould labelling. Silver
contour and metallic surfaces as well as the use of bi-colour are among
the creativity options available to designers.
Additional partners
in the CLUBE development process were machinery and moulding specialists
Engel, Otto Hofstetter AG and Beck Automation. “We are always looking for
new opportunities to push the boundaries of design and functionality in
the packaging solutions we offer for the personal care market, preferably
in combination with cost-effective intellectual manufacturing processes,”
comments Rian Stegeman, Chief Technology Officer, Plasticum Group. “Our
long and trusted relationship with Borealis enabled us to find the right
material to achieve an effective tube and closure combination that follows
a sustainable approach for ourselves and our customers, in opening up new
dimensions in the world of cosmetics.”
Jean-Christophe
Janssens, Borealis Key Sales Manager, adds, “Borsoft SL600MO takes
Borealis into the new application area of squeezable PP cosmetics tubes
with a step change offering in performance, short lead times, and
sustainability. Such a development is fundamental to our commitment to add
value across the packaging value chain and is only possible when close
co-operation and knowledge-sharing takes place between all partners.
“With the cosmetics
segment holding the largest market share within the continually growing
European tube market, we look forward to supporting the packaging industry
to further explore the potential of what can be achieved.”

Record sales of new de-blistering and leak testing equipment at packaging
machinery manufacturer, Sepha ltd
The packaging machinery manufacturer, Sepha Ltd, has reported record
sales of its recently extended range of non-destructive leak testing
equipment for the world's pharmaceutical packaging industry. With demand
up across all major markets, the company says the increase will fund
future R&D and enable it to bring forward future innovations aimed at
reducing costs and driving quality for pharmaceutical manufacturers and
contract packers.
 Sepha
exports from its base in Northern Ireland to 60 countries across the
globe. The company says its success has been due to a customer-driven
strategy in response to changes in market requirements. "When the
recession hit the global pharmaceuticals market we responded to the
challenges our customers were facing," explains Head of Sales & Marketing,
Paul Kelly.
The company believes its new product range is a much better fit for the
future requirements of pharmaceutical customers. Sepha has introduced
three new machines over the past 2 years and made further refinements to
existing products. VisionScan uses hi-resolution imaging technology to
test for leaks in the packaging of pharmaceuticals which the firm says has
given it the ability to offer customers a lower cost entry-point into
non-destructive leak testing which is more reliable than older methods of
testing on the market.
"At a time when the industry is looking to drive up quality and reduce
production costs, Visionscan does both. It is a tool-less leak testing
device. The flexibility we have designed into this machine is ideal for
contract packers operating in the growing non-branded drug or 'generics'
market where there is a need to switch production quickly from one drug to
another," continues Paul Kelly.
Mediscan was launched alongside Visionscan but for testing leaks in single
non-porous pouches, medical device packaging and sachets. The third new
machine, EZ Blister II is a compact blister-packing machine for clinical
trial laboratories and R&D facilities. This has proved very popular with
customers who need a low volume packaging solution.
Sepha are now about to embark on a customer roadshow across Europe, Asia
and USA that will see the company bring their new leak testing machines
directly to the doors of their customers.

Inks and Colorants Subject to Testing for Toxics in Packaging
The Toxics in Packaging Clearinghouse (TPCH) launched a new study that
will test inks and colorants in single-use shopping and mail order bags
for the presence of lead and cadmium. The use of these toxic metals is
restricted by toxics in packaging laws in nineteen U.S. states.
 This
study is a follow up to two previous projects by the TPCH that identified
inks and colorants as a potential source of lead and cadmium in packaging.
TPCH is collecting retail packaging samples through the end of the year.
In January, the packaging samples will be screened using an x-ray
fluorescent (XRF) instrument that allows for the inexpensive and rapid
detection of elemental composition. Samples that screen positive for the
restricted metals will be sent to laboratories for confirmatory testing.
As with past
projects, TPCH member states may use the test results to pursue
enforcement of their state laws. Penalties for non-compliance with state
laws vary. In New York, for example, the penalties for violations of the
Hazardous Packaging Act are up to $10,000 for the first violation and up
to $25,000 per violation for each violation thereafter. Each package on
the shelf constitutes a separate and distinct violation. Similarly, in
Connecticut and Iowa, a violation could result in a penalty of $10,000 per
day per violation.

TORAY PLASTICS (AMERICA), INC., INTRODUCES NEW TORAYFAN®
KMS1 HEAT-SEALABLE MATTE BOPP FILM FOR UPSCALE FOOD PACKAGING
 Exceptionally
low seal-initiation temperature marks a significant improvement in the
manufacture and design of low-gloss premium bags
Toray Plastics (America), Inc., the only United States manufacturer of
precision-performance polypropylene, polyester, and bio-based films for
packaging and industrial applications, introduces to CPG’s and converters
new Torayfan® KMS1 70-gauge biaxially-oriented heat-sealable matte
polypropylene film designed to be used as an outer web in food packaging
applications requiring a premium appearance.
Technologically advanced KMS1 film offers an industry-leading low
seal-initiation temperature (SIT) for lap seals—20 degrees lower than what
typical sealable matte films offer—and a broad heat-seal range, which
enables faster processing on high-speed form-fill-seal equipment.
In addition, new Torayfan KMS1 film has a low-gloss surface with excellent
haze and a print adhesion layer on which the water- and solvent-based inks
commonly used on rotogravure and flexographic presses print beautifully.
That combination of optical properties and printabilty makes KMS1
especially well suited to the manufacture of finished packages that have
the kind of distinctive, eye-catching, high-end matte aesthetic that
appeals to brand managers and consumers. End users and converters will
also appreciate KMS1 film’s low coefficient of friction (CoF) and
excellent ability to bond during the manufacture of adhesive and extrusion
laminations. The low CoF, along with the reliable bonding and printing,
also contribute to faster, more efficient processing and package
manufacturing. Applications for the new KMS1 film include salty snacks,
baked goods, crackers, cookies, and confectionery items.
“KMS1’s low SIT marks a significant development for premium snack food
manufacturers,” says Franco Chicarella, Product Manager, Torayfan
Polypropylene Film Division, Toray Plastics (America), Inc. “The ability
to increase line speed and seal with less heat transfer allows end users
to increase output. The matte aesthetic is also a big plus to brand
managers who want to attract a discerning customer.”

New surprises in
DuPont™ Surlyn® at PCD 2012
 DuPont
will be presenting new surprises in DuPont™ Surlyn® as part of its exhibit
at PCD (Perfumes, Cosmetics and Design) in Paris, France, 8-9 February
2012. Visitors to the DuPont booth E20 will see a vast array of forms,
textures and optical effects for the packaging of perfumes and cosmetics
that are only possible by the innovative use of DuPont™ Surlyn®. One such
concept, as will be presented at the show by the Italian glassmaker
Bormioli Luigi SpA, is the overmoulding of glass bottles with Surlyn® 3D
technology. The new products, marketed by Bormioli Luigi under its Linkx®1
trademark (http://linkx.bormioliluigi.com), will also be the subject of a
conference to be held during the PCD exhibition entitled "New
opportunities in bottles design by Linkx®1".
The latest bottle
concept from Bormioli Luigi SpA has been designed by French luxury design
specialist QSLD. The twisted shape of the glass inner bottle is
accentuated in perfect transparency by the thick walls of the Surlyn® cube
that encases it. QSLD further emphasises the contrasts shapes made
possible by the overmoulding technology in its choice of colours, as
Christophe Guichard, QSLD President, explains: "The choice of charcoal
grey for the Surlyn® outerlayer was obvious for the mood and type of
design we wanted to create, and we found gold to be the best colour to
enhance this smoky effect. One of the amazing possibilities of Surlyn® 3D
technology is the ability to create two contrasting shapes, each of them
decorated differently. This creates double the surprise!"
The successful
overmoulding of a glass bottle using Surlyn® 3D technology is the result
of collaboration between Bormioli Luigi, DuPont and the Italian injection
moulding specialist Pibiplast SpA. Bormioli Luigi's patented Sparkx®1
glass formulation is stronger and more durable than ordinary glass and is
also particularly clear in its appearance. Its properties also make it
suitable for subsequent overmoulding (either entirely or partially) with
Surlyn® using a unique process mastered by Pibiplast. The spectacular end
result is a bottle that is almost limitless in terms of the colours and
shapes adopted for both materials and also the finish of both the internal
and external surfaces.
“As illustrated by
our latest concept, Linkx®1 gives free rein to one’s imagination in terms
of shapes and colours and optical effects for the bottles,” claims Corrado
Lusetti, marketing manager at Bormioli Luigi. “The glass provides high
resistance to chemicals and alcohol and a luxurious sense of weight,
whilst the shell made of Surlyn® can be used to magnify, enhance and
durably protect the visual effect of the bottle, as well as rendering it
far less susceptible to breakage or damage. At the same time, the
material's favourable tactile properties make the bottle both smooth and
pleasant to the touch. ”

DPET™ From OCTAL Meets Sustainability and Cost Reductions Needs For
Personal Hygiene Packaging
DPET™ sheet from OCTAL meets the critical product requirements or
personal hygiene packaging because:
-
PET (polyethylene
terephlate) is becoming the material of choice of global packaging
companies due its ease of recyclability.
-
DPET™ sheet helps
companies reduce their overall cost of manufacturing packaging.
-
Positive
sustainability testing results specific to DPET™ gives customers
confidence that they are involved with a progressive and environmentally
conscious materials supplier.
 PET
Sheet: the answer to demands from retailers for easily-recycled material.
Many global companies, including P&G, are making the switch to PET because
it is one of the best packaging choices for retail applications such as
toothbrush holders. Why? Because PET is hygienic, strong, lightweight,
shatterproof and recyclable.
Additionally, the lightweight and strength of PET allows for more products
to be delivered with reduced packaging weight and less fuel consumption
than most other materials. Moreover, PET can be recycled again and again,
and can then be reused as containers for retail, foods, beverages and many
other products.
The benefits of DPET™ sheet:
According to Joe Barenberg, COO, OCTAL: “the growing preference of DPET™
sheet for global packaging is due in part to its ability to run on
thermoforming equipment already being used for PVC, HIPS, and OPS with
only minor modifications of hardware and processing parameters. This is
key because costly additional equipment purchases are not necessary. ”
Though proprietary process control software and hardware, OCTAL delivers a
high roll-to-roll uniformity and a typical caliper variation of
approximately 1 percent (lower than other PET sheet options). This enables
thermoformers to down-gauge, thereby using less overall material in the
final tray.
Consequently, manufacturers of personal care products, such as P&G, have
been able reduce costs by ordering thinner gauge sheet while knowing
exactly how much packaging they can manufacture from the material they
buy.
Partnership through sustainability
Conventional PET sheet manufacturing depends on as many as five reactors
to make the resin and requires a separate process for sheet production.
Says Barenberg: “when building its process, OCTAL committed to reducing
its overall energy use and accomplished that goal by implementing the
latest 2R (two reactor) system for producing resin and direct-to-sheet
technology for producing DPET sheet.”
In doing so, OCTAL’s resin making and sheet manufacturing processes
require substantially less energy in comparison to conventional
processing. That, in turn, has dramatically lowered the company’s carbon
footprint.
Compared to traditional plants, OCTAL’s DPET™ sheet uses 67% less
electricity --- a fact that has been verified by independent, third party
sources such as Intertek Expert Services, an internationally recognized,
independent testing service.
Oral-B Manual Toothbrush Packaging: now molded with DPET™ sheet
Leading companies strongly consider packaging as a component of protecting
and enhancing their brand equity. More and more brands are turning to DPET™
to meet the challenge. Both the company and consumers benefit from a
recyclable packaging material with proven environmental sustainability.
