KHS RECEIVES INNOVATION PRIZE IN GOLD AT INTERVITIS INTERFRUCTA

The German Winegrower's Association has awarded the new KHS Innofill DNRV filling system its Innovation Prize in Gold in the 'Filling, Sealing & Packing Technology' category at this year's INTERVITIS INTERFRUCTA, which took place from 22 to 26 April 2007 in Stuttgart. And this is what this top award is all about:

It satisfies the requirements of the beverage industry of enabling non-carbonated and carbonated beverages and plastic bottles with different mouth diameters to be processed by one and the same filling system, with changeover ideally completed automatically.

The new Innofill DNRV filling system meets these requirements fully by enabling users to run the following programs:

* Non-carbonated or carbonated beverages in bottles with size 28 bottle mouths

* Non-carbonated beverages in bottles with size 38 bottle mouths

* Insertion of rinsing caps for cleaning/sterilization

In aseptic filling systems, fully automatic changeover to different beverages and containers represents a productivity advantage. This also avoids manual intervention into sterile systems.

KHS was represented at the trade fair with many other innovations:

A selection:

Rinser-filler-capper block. Maximum flexibility + outstanding filling results + consistently high hygiene standards + latest drive technology + environmentally friendly concept.

Innoclean FR-ZM two-channel rinser. Sixty stations + mechanical + fully variable rinsing times + variable rinse media and methods + push-button rinse programs + trouble-free changeover + water recycling program.

Innofill DRF filling system. Seventy stations + processes wine and all beverages under pressurized conditions + variable filling temperatures + differing CO2 content + long-tube filling system with bottom-up, gentle filling process + minimum oxygen pickup + push-button filling phases + variable return gas control + product heat retention facility + automated conductivity and Brix measurement + burst bottle function + motorized height adjustment + adjustable format parts + different capper variants (also in series) + sloping front table concept for optimum hygiene + servo drive technology + highest system efficiency.

The system exhibited was already ordered by Gerstacker Winery in Nuremberg, one of Bavaria’s largest wine bottling businesses.

Doublepack Packaging Machines Celebration
By packagingblog, 09:33

KHS has cause to celebrate a doublepack anniversary. KHS' branch offices in Moscow and Kiev were established five years ago.

During this period, both offices have written unique success stories that are closely linked with the development of the local beverage industry. The Moscow office serves the beverage industry in Russia while KHS' office in Kiev is responsible for the markets in Ukraine and Belarus.

During this period, KHS has become the chief partner of the Russian, Belarusian, and Ukrainian beverage industries: In the meantime, two thirds of all breweries rely on modern KHS technology; close to fifty percent of all businesses in the soft drink trade work with equipment from KHS. The sales successes achieved to date  in the wine, champagne, and liquor industry are also very promising.

KHS has become well established in these three beverage sectors as a reliable partner and is considered not only a specialist for filling and packaging technology but also a close partner as a support provider in many consulting instances.

The Future Of Six Sigma - Different Viewpoints

The Future Of Six Sigma - Different Viewpoints

Since its introduction in the 1990's, 6-Sigma has become the buzzword in both the manufacturing and service industries. The various methodologies used in 6-Sigma are based on a disciplined and data driven approach that help in eliminating defects and achieving near perfection by restricting the number of possible defects to less than 3.4 defects per million. The methodologies are effective in managing business processes of both the manufacturing and service industries. In manufacturing industries, the concepts and methodologies are used for reducing the number of defects whereas in service industries, they are used mainly for reducing transactional errors.

Although many companies have been successful in reducing the number of defects through Six Sigma projects, the arguments raised against the efficacy of 6-Sigma in all aspects of business processes still do not seem to die down. Some management experts think that Six Sigma is inherently flawed, as it does not take into account the flaws that might be present in the system itself. They are of the opinion that the analytical and statistical tools used in 6-Sigma only expose flaws in the execution and do not account for a process that itself is riddled with defects.

Supporters of Six Sigma offer a different viewpoint. According to them, quality management tools such as Total Quality Management (TQM) and 6-Sigma are conceptually quite similar except for their labels. Business organizations may use any of these for improving overall quality. However, they often give preference to 6-Sigma as they believe that Six Sigma is more than just a process improvement program and is based on concepts that focus on continuous quality improvements. They have the opinion that 6-Sigma concepts combine statistical measurement tools with contemporary management techniques for achieving extraordinary results.

The Limited Use Of Six Sigma

6-Sigma gained prominence as an effective quality improvement technique after it was successfully implemented in Motorola. Since then, many large organizations have implemented 6-Sigma programs and improved the quality of manufactured goods or services rendered. However, the full potential of 6-Sigma has not been realized so far because many competent small to medium level enterprises have still not implemented Six Sigma programs. These enterprises have all the resources to implement such programs, but are often wary of the final certification, as they believe that it is meant only for large organizations. These companies often do not realize that 6-Sigma delivers the same benefits to both large as well as small business enterprises. The only difference may be in the volume of goods manufactured or services rendered.

The Future Of Six Sigma

6-Sigma may appear similar to other quality management tools such as TQM or Kaizen Events, but in reality, it is quite different. Other quality management programs often reach a stage after which no further quality improvements can be made. 6-Sigma, on the other hand, is different as it focuses on taking quality improvement processes to the next level. This means that 6-Sigma has the potential to outlast other quality management programs in the future.

The scope of 6-Sigma is also much broader than other quality management programs as it can be applied to every business process of an organization. The future is bright for 6-Sigma programs with the growing awareness in small and medium enterprises about the potential benefits that can be derived from implementing such programs.

Work Place Dynamics: Is Forced Change Real?
By packagingblog, 07:08



Work Place Dynamics: Is Forced Change Real?  
by Yvette Bethel

Companies exist in environments where customers' tastes are constantly changing, more and more information is perpetually available on the internet and competitors are constantly evolving. External factors, outside the control of your organisation are constantly in flux. As a leader, you are forced to constantly change your company and forced change is oftentimes accompanied by resistance or, sometimes, reluctant acceptance.

For practical purposes, let's take this into the realm of metaphor. A teacher sat with a student who had a personal dilemma. Her son, an adolescent, was not performing well in school and she decided to take away an activity he was passionate about in order to motivate her son into adopting the behaviours necessary for creating the desired outcome of improved grades.

This action forced her son to apply himself to the task and his grades improved. What the mother determined to be an appropriate level of discipline was enforced and her son's behaviour became aligned with her expectations. On the surface it seemed like all was well. However, the student's decision to trap her son into the desired behaviour created a domino effect that did not manifest immediately or obviously. Over time, not being given a choice to comply with any of his mother's edicts created a greater distance between the mother and her son. He resented having his favorite past-time revoked, but, he did as he was told.

So, in this example, change happened but at what cost? Based on the son's belief systems about himself, he interpreted this lesson as - I have to forego happiness in order to meet other people's expectations and my input, preferences or feelings don't count. Over time, resentment builds.

In this case, the mother never sought to uncover the root cause of the deterioration of her son's grades. Was there a teacher in the background who didn't like him, or was there a bully at school - who knows? In this case, the mother's actions served to drive the wedge between her and her son even deeper because, the unilateral decision created resentment and distrust over the long term.

The moral of the story... A desired behaviour can be achieved by using force and the desired behaviour can appear to be positive. However, beneath the surface can lurk the iceberg of bitterness and anger which can lead to continued destructive or counterproductive behaviour.

In a business context, a retail corporation introduced a new performance management process. It was designed to embed performance management practices deeper into the corporate psyche and improve leadership, internal communication and employee accountability.

What actually happened is something inconsistent. For some, there was some resistance at first, because the new changes appeared to resemble the old model of micro management. This was a fair assessment because this was probably how they were interpreted.

There are leaders who are comfortable with the familiar, so they superimpose the old model onto the new performance management framework. And voila! They appear to be implementing the new framework.

Then there are the few who genuinely attempt to understand the new business model and implement at a deeper level, creating nspiration duringthe process.

The ultimate change environment is one of empowerment. One that is characterized and fuelled by freedom, creativity, alignment, enlightenment and curiosity. Not fear.

So how do we unleash quantum, authentic, empowered change in the work place instead of resistance? We start with the leaders. To be specific, we start at the level of the individual leader because ultimately, we tend seek collective transformation and collective transformation begins with focused dedication to personal transformation. How do we do it? One way is to transform your leaders into coaches trained to inspire vitality within individuals on their teams.

Turning leaders into coaches reframes how they view their team, the change and their team's responses to change. Effective coaches can identify obstacles to change and help members of the team create new perspectives by engaging their input in an inclusive way, gradually helping to dissipate fears.

Coaching tools like creating distinctions, observation and feedback can be used to reduce discomfort. Play is another powerful tool that can be used in the context of fear. All the team leader has to do is to find what lights the team up and follow the path of lights to conscious change management!

Get it in on Time - Proposal Production

Get it in on Time - Proposal Production  
by Stellah Ulriksen   -  

Writing a proposal involves a lot more than just simply putting the words together you have to make sure that your proposal document looks professional and that it gets to the client on time. You could have the best proposal in the world, but if it´s submitted after the deadline it is extremely likely that it wont even be considered especially in public sector procurement.

So whats involved in producing a proposal? Its just a question of printing it out and sending it off isnt it? Sometimes yes - but there may be other things to consider. Heres a quick list of all the things that you have to consider:

The proposal - the finished document is obviously the first thing you need in place. Make sure that this is the finished document any red team review should have already been completed on draft versions.

Proof Reading neglecting proof-reading is one of the biggest mistakes you can make. It takes very little time to do properly, though is often the first thing to go when time is running short. Yet if it isnt done correctly, one simple mistake in the wrong place can destroy all possibility of actual being awarded a contract.

Printing Printing can often take longer than you expect. Always make sure that you have plenty of toner or printer ink. Allow extra time if you are printing in colour and check beforehand to see how many copies you need and allow extra time. Its also a good idea to have a backup in case things go wrong find a local print shop where you can get documents printed. In fact, if they can produce higher quality documents on their equipment, think about outsourcing your document production to them.

Binding make sure you have the equipment and consumables in stock. Dont always use the cheapest binding option. A great looking document sends an immediate message to the buyer about your quality and values.

Packaging Make sure you have big enough envelopes. Did the client provide and envelope or label that you must include on the tender. Always check the tender documentation to verify the address where the document should be sent it may be different than the address that you usually use for this client

Getting It There Always allow time for delivery and get proof of postage. If the proposal is completed a day early, send it a day early. Dont leave it until the last minute. If using a courier service then make sure that they are reputable.

Think about how long these are going to take in your organisation and plan for them. Ensure that your deadline for completing the proposal takes into consideration the time that these activities will take. Always allow time for contingencies something will go wrong!

Packaging Materials: Non-PVC food wrap to launch in Asian markets
By packagingblog, 10:30

Non-PVC food wrap to launch in Asian markets!

A Canadian packaging foil company is looking to supply Asian markets with a non-PVC food wrapping film, as authorities in the region move to limit or ban use of PVC wraps.

PVC is known to cause significant damage to the environment, and is the subject of strict regulations in Europe.

But although most Asian markets are still using significant quantities of the plastic in packaging, there are growing concerns about the health risks posed when this plastic comes into contact with food.

Makers of PVC stretch film, designed for wrapping foods, use a plasticizer called DEHA to make the PVC pliable but this carcinogenic compound is thought to be readily absorbed by fatty food when it comes into contact with the film.

The use of such film has therefore been banned in many European countries, and more recently by China, which brought in legislation to restrict its use in October last year.

Canada-based Diamant Film, which markets a polystyrene-based film free of DEHA that is manufactured by Swiss company Alamantis, is now trying to tap Asian demand for non-PVC films.

Rapidly expanding retail sectors in China and other Asian markets has driven up the use of film to cover fresh meat, fish or other products in plastic or fibre trays on display on shelves.

The Alamantis film has been available in Europe since 2001, but Diamant has recently gained exclusive marketing and distribution rights for the product in Thailand, South Korea and, perhaps most significantly, China.

“We were very surprised when China banned PVC wrappers, as they are ahead of the US,” said chief executive Stefan Gudmundsson.

“But we have already had approval from the government and expect to see this market take off.”

The product will be distributed by Shantou Yiyuan Trading.

Diamant says that other alternatives to PVC, namely polyethylene, are not as effective as its own stretch film.

“Polyethylene may be cheaper but ours allows oxygen to pass through the film to the food, keeping the product’s colour,” said Gudmundsson.

This is especially important with meat, which turns a darker red without oxygen supply, giving it the appearance of being less fresh.

The company says the film is also environmentally friendly as it requires 25 per cent less material than for a PVC wrapper.

Diamant will in addition be looking to create a market in Thailand, where it has just gained distribution rights, and South Korea, although it is unclear yet what the demand for the product will be.

Improved Packaging Line Efficiency: PIABC Develops NVQ for Packaging Operators

Improved Packaging Line Efficiency:
PIABC Develops NVQ for Packaging Operators

In order to provide a broad framework of training and qualifications the Packaging Industry Awarding Body Company (PIABC) has launched a suite of National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ) aimed at packaging operators.

The NVQ will provide much needed training opportunities for packaging line operatives in all sectors, with assessments being carried out in the workplace so that workforce development can take place in a systematic way, without taking staff away from the packaging line for long periods.

Packaging operatives are an essential part of the team and are required to carry out different operational tasks from the preparation of materials and equipment prior to starting the line, through production of finished packs, on to final line close-down.

The new qualifications are built around six core units:

  • Start packaging operations
  • Control packaging operations
  • End packaging operations
  • Respond to incidents, hazardous conditions and emergencies
  • Work safely
  • Work effectively in a team

According to the PIABC "each unit contains a series of elements that get right to the heart of the process whether that be on an automated packaging line or in a more manual setting".

As training and assessment for the NVQ is work-based, the qualifications are open to all those who work as packaging operatives whether they are in large automated plants or work in smaller situations on more manual operations.

To achieve the NVQ, candidates need to gain the six core units plus any two of fourteen optional units.

Assessment is carried out in the workplace by trained assessors and involves candidates reaching recognised standards of performance, knowledge and understanding.

When do Food and Beverage Labels need to provide Information on Allergens?
By packagingblog, 09:33

When do Food and Beverage Labels
need to provide Information on Allergens?

For those who are allergic to certain foods, such as wheat or eggs, it is easy to banish them from the diet when they are presented in a natural whole form. However, it is not easy to be sure that those same allergens will not turn up in some pre-prepared food, for example, in sauces.

Food production has become a very complex and sophisticated process and processed food products are part of our daily lives. It is hard to imagine having to give up these conveniences just because you don't know whether the product has been cooked with nut oil or might contain gluten or crustaceans in some form.

The EU Directive 2003/89/EC on the indication of ingredients in food requires food manufacturers to list 12 groups of potential allergens if they are used as ingredients in pre-packed foods, including alcoholic drinks, regardless of their quantity.

The allergens include:

  • cereals containing gluten
  • fish
  • crustaceans
  • eggs
  • peanuts
  • soy
  • milk and dairy products including lactose
  • nuts
  • celery
  • mustard
  • sesame seed
  • sulphites

They are responsible for over 90% of all allergic reactions. The list of allergenic food ingredients included in the Annex of the Directive will be re-examined and updated regularly, on the basis of the most recent scientific knowledge.

As a general rule, labelling exceptions will no longer be accepted for allergens. In particular, ingredients derived from a substance on the list of allergenic ingredients will normally have to be declared as such, for instance, lecithin (from soybean).

However, given the possibility that certain derivatives of known food allergens may not trigger an allergic reaction, this same legislation also provides for possible exemption to this. Based on the information published so far, the European Food Safety Authority has proposed the following exemptions: glucose syrups from wheat, refined soybean oil, various distillates from nuts and protein ingredients used in the "fining" (clearing) of wines.

The new Directive 2003/89/EC entered into force on 25 November 2003. Member States had one year (until 25 November 2004) to transpose the provisions of the Directive into their national legal systems.

Manufacturers have a further year to make sure their labels fully comply with the rules, meaning that from 25 November 2005 traded products must comply with the new legislation . However, products which have been put on the market or been labelled before that date, are allowed to be sold until stock has run out.

New Tetra Packaging coating keeps bugs away
By packagingblog, 00:48

New Tetra Packaging coating keeps bugs away

A water-based coating for cartons could help keep insects such as German cockroaches and Indian meal moths out of the food chain. 

Michelman claims its BugBan 9000 coating can save retailers, distributors and food processors  money by reducing the damage to food packaging caused by insects. 

 HGH Energizer -Reverse the Effects of Aging!  
HGH Energizer slows down the Aging Process! All natural Anti Aging Product. Don´t wait, start now!  Ad

The Environmental Protection Agency has approved the use of BugBan 9000 for use on the outside of corrugated surfaces, folding cartons, wood and corrugated pallets used in the transporting of food, the company stated  when releasing the product earlier this month.

"It was specifically designed to not just repel insects, but to effectively eliminate the insects before they can penetrate the package -- for the entire life of the package," the company stated.

The water- based coating is repulpable and can be applied to paper and paperboard substrates. It can be applied either off-line or in-line, using rod, blade, flexo, gravure, or size coating application methods. 

"Furthermore, controlled studies have shown that material handlers of packaging coated with BugBan 9000 do not experience any significant transference of the product to their hands, even under wet conditions" the company claimed. "Other studies have confirmed that the active ingredient does not migrate through the paper that has been treated to the food contact side."

The company said it tested BugBan 9000 at four universities on a wide variety of insects -- including yellow jacket wasps, fire ants, German cockroaches, and Indian meal moths. 

"All reports demonstrated 100 per cent effectiveness in eliminating the insect pests within 24 hours -- eradicating 70 per cent in the first five hours," Michelman claimed.

The annual costs of insect infestation in the sugar, cereal, flour and pet food markets total $226 million annually, Michelman stated.

Packaging Waste Data Set to be Improved
By packagingblog, 16:02

The all natural Health and Beauty Shop.

Packaging Waste Data Set to be Improved

A new system to handle and disseminate information and data on packaging waste is to be developed by the Advisory Committee on Packaging (ACP).

The National Packaging Waste Database will be designed to help with the packaging waste recycling and recovery regime, which place obligations on businesses to put to better use some of the packaging that they deal with.

It will remove the need for businesses to submit hardcopy data to regulators and could eventually lead to the use of electronic Packaging Recovery Notes (PRNs) and Packaging Export Recovery Notes (PERNs).

Ultimately the new database will help industry obtain the latest data in a more timely way, thereby helping the packaging market to operate more effectively.

It is also expected to help combat incidences of fraud by reprocessors and help identify so called free-riders – businesses who avoid meeting their obligations under the regulations.

Regulators are expected to benefit from considerable administrative time savings, allowing them to spend more time on enforcing the regulations.

The system will be designed and implemented through a project team reporting to the ACP and on completion will be owned and operated by regulators – the Environment Agency, the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency and the Northern Ireland Environment and Heritage Service.

The system is expected to cost in the region of £350,000 and has been funded largely by some of the businesses affected by the regulations.

It is expected that the reprocessor module will be in operation this year and that the registration module will be available for the 2007 registration process.

Together with state secretary Hendrik Hering of the Rhineland-Palatinate government and the mayor of Trier, Helmut Schröer, the CEO and chairman of the Management Board of the Mayr-Melnhof Group, Wilhelm Hörmanseder, officially opened the most modern European gravure printing site for packaging on May 4th. With an investment of about Euro 20 million the MM Gravure printing site will create approximately 100 new workplaces – in addition to 730 already existing in the federal state.

For the Vienna-based Mayr-Melnhof Group, the new factory in Trier is the fourth folding carton production site in Rhineland-Palatinate. In its twelve German factories (nine folding carton plants and three cartonboard mills), the company employs about 2,500 people.

With sales totalling Euro 1.46 billion and 33 factories all over Europe the Mayr-Melnhof Group is the largest manufacturer of folding cartons in Germany and Europe and the world-leader in recycled fibre-based cartonboard.

By separating the printing process from converting and finishing, Mayr-Melnhof is offering a unique technological concept. With this so-called offline process, MM Gravure delivers unprecedented production speed and performance in gravure printing of folding cartons. Measured in running meters, the annual output of MM Gravure could encircle the globe twice.

Drinks in tune with the times - SIG production equipment have helped the Chinese beverage company Huiyuan to grow

Drinks in tune with the times - SIG filling and packaging production equipment have helped the Chinese beverage company Huiyuan to grow

Marketing concepts anticipating future trends and SIG production equipment have helped the Chinese beverage company Huiyuan to grow significantly over the past twelve years and become a premier player on the Chinese market.

The Chinese soft drinks market has been booming in recent years and is expected to continue its growth at an annual rate of about 10%. Apart from this general rise in consumption, the range of available products has also increased and now includes a large variety of juices, tea drinks, bottled water, health drinks, and sports drinks. The international brands (Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Nestlé) feature on the market as well as domestic productssupplied by small regional producers and several large companies.

One of the biggest players in this market - and according to company information the largest producer of fruit juice in China - is Huiyuan Beverage & Food Group Co Ltd., a private company established in 1992 with several production sites, mainly in eastern China. For 2003 alone, Huiyuan announced the launch of seven new projects in different regions to meet the rising demand. In addition to beverages, the company also processes fruit and vegetables. Huiyuan offers a total of about 270 different products. The production of concentrated apple juice alone amounts to approximately 50,000 tons per year. Huiyuan not only supplies the Chinese market but has also become an exporter of fruit juice concentrates.

The business relationship with the SIG group dates back to 1996 when SIG Combibloc installed the first filling line for carton packs. And as the first customer in Asia, Huiyuan launched the new Combifit premium format for 500 ml packs in 2002. Today, the company is one of SIG Combibloc's most important customers in Asia. After the successful installation of three SIG Simonazzi aseptic filling lines, Huiyuan bought an array of SIG equipment for its Laiwu plant in the northern Chinese province of Shandong. The investment comprised two PREMAX 48 injection molding machines for 500ml preforms and a BLOMAX 16 D stretch blow molder. They are used to produce 500 ml and 330 ml bottles with 38 mm neck for aseptic filling, again performed by a SIG Simonazzi line.

The importance of a single interface

Xinli Zhu, president of the Huiyuan Group, said they were very happy with the quality of the SIG line which produces 36,000 to 40,000 bph. A key factor contributing to the decision in favor of SIG was the opportunity to obtain the full line from a single source right through to the start-up. Zhu added that this successful cooperation would certainly also be an influential factor in future investment projects.

With a total of fourteen aseptic lines, Huiyuan has become the most important Chinese filler in this segment. In addition to fruit juices, the company's ice tea products, based on green and black tea, are an important pillar of the range, tea being the traditional drink in Asia. Sales of carbonated drinks, on the other hand, are currently growing at a lower rate.

At the same time a new beverage segment is developing in the market. With the gradual opening up to Western industrialized countries, the "functional drinks" concept has also arrived in China and is particularly appreciated by younger consumers. According to the statistics, it is mainly people in the upper income brackets with a higher educational background that are interested in keeping fit and healthy. They are thus specifically targeted for sports drinks, that help replenish the vitamins, electrolytes and minerals lost during sports activities, and nutrient drinks containing caffeine and other stimulating ingredients.

The potential of this market is tremendous. According to the China Soft Drink Industry Association, sales are expected to double from 1.5 billion yuan to 3 billion yuan this year. While the global average per capita consumption of these drinks is about 7 liters, the average in China is only 0.5 liters - but is rising. This trend relies heavily on advertising, and Huiyuan mainly focuses on the popular time following the seven-o'clock news and the weather forecast to place its commercials.

For this segment Huiyuan has come up with an unusual concept. Under the name "He+&She-" two gender-specific drinks are offered, distinguished in the classic fashion by blue or pink packaging. The advertising photo shows corresponding PET bottles protruding from the pockets of two fashionably designed jeans. For the promotional campaign, Huiyuan also produced three special "He+&She-" pop songs so that the targeted consumers directly link the trendy drink with a tune. This could make the "He+&She-" concept a big hit in more than one way.
