ASEAN Food Conference begins its journey to revolutionalise the food industry through innovation. By Wong Tsz Hin
With a theme like ‘Food Innovation: Key to Creative Economy’, it is not difficult to grasp the focal point of ASEAN Food Conference
2011. In an established industry with a long history, such as the food industry, innovation becomes an essential element that will help drive the economy and sustain its growth.
To this end, the 12th installment of this biennial event is organised to facilitate the sharing of scientific research and knowledge from experts around the world. 42 speakers will be present to talk about their studies in various aspects concerning food processing and production. That is on top of 242 scientific posts available.
Youth InvolvementDaruee Edwards, president of Food Science and Technology Association of Thailand and chairperson of the organising
Innovative Revolution
committee, believes that it is important for the knowledge to be conveyed to the younger generation so that they will be able to utilise it in practical applications.
A host of student activities will be held during the three-day conference to encourage more involvement from the future of our society. During the opening ceremony, works of excellence from talented post-graduate students pursuing a doctorate or masters degree were recognised through the Best Paper Awards.
Five teams from institutions for tertiary education around the ASEAN region will compete in a question and answer session at ASEAN Food Quiz Bowl 2011. The Food Innovation Contest, which happens on June 17, will see 10 shortlisted teams of undergraduates from food science and product development programme battle it out in technological capability to create innovative food products.
Greater Consumer awareness“The information on the latest food technology helps consumers to become more informed and knowledgeable about their food”, Dr Kittichai Triratanasirichai, president of Khon Kaen Univeristy, has remarked. This has led to increasing demand from consumers in terms of health, convenience, as well as safety of food.
The conference will create opportunity to educate producers on sourcing of ingredients, highlight emerging technology for food and food ingredient production and explore possibility of business collaboration. Dr Triratanasirichai is adamant that manufacturers and academia can work hand in hand in accomplishing safe and sustainable development for the global food industry.
The growth of food processing not only gave rise to domestic consumption, but also increased export volume. Dr Ampol Senanarong, privy councilor of Thailand, urges the industry to understand consumer behaviour and determine the kind of products that can satisfy their needs.
In his opinion, innovation will improve existing processes and increase value in existing products, which will in turn push the industry forward. n
KoreaHaving started its association with ProPak Asia back in 2007, the Korean pavilion has been present ever since. Kim Kyung-Won (above), manager of Gyeonggi Small & Medium Business Center, believes that ProPak Asia is the platform for Korean companies to reach out to the South East Asian market. He adds that the event has met expectations and the response from visitors has been positive.
sInGaporeWith a customer base that is stretched across Asia, featuring countries such as Indonesia, Japan and Korea,
IMA recognises the potential of the regional market. “Propak Asia is the only show in Asia I know where
the response is so positive and we have people buying straight from the booth.” Richard Grahammer, area sales manager, highlights.
He does not foresee the establishment of additional offices in Asia in the next one to two years, but added that the company is looking to extend its sales network.
taIwanUsing the event as a mean to strengthen relations with Thai clients is Mishel Lee (above), vice GM of Duan Kwei Machinery, and part of the Taiwan pavilion. She shares that the company is on the lookout for more distributors in the region. Currently, the company’s customers come from all over the region, such as Vietnam, Philippines, and Indonesia.
uKSeeing ProPak Asia as a chance to identify new markets, Durham Duplex is using the opportunity to communicate with its agents and regional staff.
Carl Foster, international sales director, maintains that while the company continues to explore areas for
expansion, it wants to ensure quality service and support will be provided to its clients.
A manufacturing plant was set up in Thailand to ensure a shorter turnaround time for clients of the region. Mr Foster (right) explained that the company will look to establish more distributors in the region.
usMaking its first official participation in the show, Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute hopes to offer its member companies the chance to meet customers and distributers in the growing Asian market.
“Thailand is a unique place because ProPak Asia not only covers the domestic market, but also the regional market”, Jason Bian (above), director of the institute’s Asian office notes.
While he hopes to expand the US pavilion at next year’s show, it would only happen if member companies request for it. At the moment, the institute is focused on helping companies that are new to the region by providing them with the required information and resources. n

Krones enforces its commitment towards customer service with round the clock service and education. By Tjut Rostina
Darunee Edwards believes that advancement in food industry will be possible with the application of scientific knowledge gained through research in food production and processing.
The increasing amount of Asian-favoured products available is the perfect indication of the growing importance of the Asian market, according to Dr Ping Fan Rao.
Reliable service and quality that can be counted on is of utmost importance at Krones. In an interview with Markus Winter, CEO of Krones (Thailand), he
shares that the company is driven by customers to have a quicker and complete support on the service front.
One of the company’s initiatives is its 24-hour hotline, which caters to emergency service maintenance calls. “Customers can call the hotline for assistance, and the Thai team will guide them in resolving maintenance issues via the phone. If need be, a technical personnel will be sent onsite to fix it,” says Mr Winter.
After 11pm (Thailand time), the hotline will be transferred to the German technical support team, who will activate someone from the Thai office to assist, if necessary.
To support the implementation of the service hotline, eight specialists from Germany have been brought in to train the Thai support team, so that they would be able to undertake the needs of the regional market. “This is our added value for the customer, because that is what’s expected of Krones as a high-end manufacturer. The loss of time for the customer is money lost for them,” shares Mr Winter.
traIn For optImum servICeIn ensuring that the operators of machines obtained from the company are well-informed on the upkeep and optimisation of its functions, the company had started an academy to train technical personnel and engineers in 2010.
In fact, training of the company’s new engineers are also done in the academy. “We are generally moving into the direction sharing knowledge from the German headquarters to the Asian region, so as to be better equipped and increase flexibility in adapting to market demands,” says Mr Winter.
Other than training at the academy, operators and engineers of customer companies are also refreshed on the workings on the machines during its scheduled overhauls. “During the periodic overhauls, we also carry out operator assessments, so customers get some kind of benchmark on the understanding of the machines, and from there we propose ways to improve, including a training plan,” he adds.
Krones looks forward to show companies the benefits of good training, as educated operators will achieve less problems on the job. n
Service Round The Clock
In recent years, there has been a number of bad press about food safety in China that crushed consumer confidence with regards to its food
products. As dreadful as this may sound, Dr Ping, IUFoST president elected and guest speaker at the event, understands the positive points concealed behind these incidents.
For one, they reflect the heightened knowledge of the people about food ingredients and processing. Consumers are now more educated and aware of the possible hazards the may be contained inside the food they consume.
On the other hand, they are also indications of the country’s striving economy. He notes, “this is because people are no longer worried about fending off hunger, but are looking for higher food quality.” Concerns over food safety can only happen when the people have enough revenue to understand its importance.
While some may assume that the appearance of toxic food ingredients is a sign of lack of quality control, Dr Ping believes in the contrary. “The state is trying to control too much,” he elaborates, “the government should supervise only a few critical aspects.”
Pointing to the growing amount of Asian-favoured products available in the market as an example, he thinks that the food industry in Asia is set to take on a prominent role at the world stage.
As he reflects, western manufacturers are now modifying their products to cater to the taste of Asian consumers which goes to show the importance of the market. n
The organising committee of the 12th ASEAN Food Conference 2011 chose the theme of ‘Food Innovation: Key to Creative
Economy’ to emphasise the importance of innovation to the future of the food production and processing industry.
Innovation helps create new products that can be used to drive the economy. Mrs Edwards, president of Food Science and Technology Association of Thailand and chairperson of the committee, stressed that in order for the industry to advance, it needs to go beyond selling the same products over and over.
One area that she hopes to see more development in is that of food safety. Consumers have matured to understand how critical it is to have proper and secured processing and production procedures.
It is of paramount importance for the field of science and technology to collaborate with manufacturers so that the knowledge gained through research can be turned into actual application.
Mrs Edwards believes that the cultivation of young talents plays a crucial role in this. That is the reason why it is essential for conferences to feature activities targeted at this group. n
The Science Of Food
Made To Taste
As the organic food sector continues to grow in popularity and size across the globe, it is increasingly important to develop the supply chain processes. By Penny Chai, director of marketing, Asia Pacifi c, Intermec
Food retailers and producers from across Asia are becoming increasingly aware about how track and trace
technologies—such as advanced barcode and RFID—can help connect trading partners around the world, and align complex processing chains.
orGanIC GrowthOrganic Monitor have been quoted as saying that the organic trend has been growing rapidly throughout Asia (30 to 40 percent in some instances).
On a global scale, the organic food sector has undergone a strong period of
Track & Trace For brand Protection
The Organic Supply Chain:
sustained growth over the last twenty years. According to the Organic Trade Association’s 2010 Organic Industry Survey: “Sales of organic food and beverages (in North America alone) have grown from US$1 billion in 1990 to US$24.8 billion in 2009. Sales in 2009 represented 5.1 percent growth over 2008 sales.”
supplY ChaIn evolutIonAs the organic food sector has grown over recent years, there has also been an evolution in how these food products are stored, shipped and monitored
through the supply chain. To ensure organic food product quality control, advanced supply chain technologies are being deployed throughout the sector.
RFID technology is already being deployed in the organic beef sector in countries like Australia, to help ensure product quality and adhere to government food safety regulations. In Australia, the National Livestock Identification System legislation mandated, in 2005, RFID tagging for cattle stock.
As a result of this push, organic beef producers in the country are tagging individual animals with RFID, ensuring rapid and accurate traceability as they move through the livestock chain into Asia.
InternatIonal reGulatIonsHighlighting that it was not just small market stall sellers who were behind the growth in the organic food sector, the Organic Trade Association’s 2010 Organic Industry Survey found that in the year 2009, mass-market retailers sold 54 percent of organic food.
Asian organic food importers are increasingly expected to adhere to international food safety regulations if they want to sell to the growing local market.
In 2005, the EU mandated that all food and feed businesses must have effective systems and records to ensure that all foodstuffs, animal feed and ingredients can be traced throughout the food chain (‘from farm to fork’).
traCK & traCeKnown as the ‘one-step-backward, one-step-forward’ approach, each business must be able to tell who are all their suppliers and who they supply to themselves (with the exception of consumers).
They should have withdrawal/recall procedures for unsafe food, and must notify authorities immediately in the event of a food and/or feed safety scare.
Organic food producers, distributors and their retailers alike can take
advantage of advanced track and trace technology to help meet international food safety standards. This will also enable them to quickly identify and locate organic foodstuffs that may be affected by a recall.
QualItY perCeptIonIt is vital that the right technology is used to ensure as much information on the food products as possible can be gathered. The information is for recall management purposes, in order to ensure that bad goods are quickly identifi ed, isolated and removed, and the situation rectifi ed.
the 100 mIle DIetAdvanced barcode and RFID technologies can also aid organic food retailers to back up their claims about how food products are raised or grown, and where they have come from. This is particularly relevant to the organic food sector given the rise in popularity around what is known as the ‘100 mile diet’.
The ‘100 mile diet’, made famous by two Canadians who ate only food from within 100 miles of where they were eating, is widely touted as minimising the impact on the environment, contributing to the local community and in many cases, ensuring greater freshness due to lesser transit times.
Obviously, of integral importance for people who are looking to follow the rigorous requirements of the diet (who are known as locavores) is the assurance that the food is in fact, from within 100 miles.
In the case of this specifi c niche market, both RFID and bar code technology can help organic food retailers provide accurate and credible information as to where the food has come from, and where it has been prior to coming in contact with the consumer.
As the organic food sector continues to grow in popularity and size across the globe, it is increasingly important that producers, distributors and retailers in this sector develop the supply chain processes needed to meet government regulations and consumer expectations. n

A Matter Of Resistance & Reliability
Sensor Solutions:
Cleaning agents and disinfectants act thoroughly—not just on food and beverage systems, but on any components installed on them. A high level of resistance and reliable detection capabilities are therefore two key properties of photoelectric sensors used in such a demanding surrounding. By Wolfram Tanner, product manager industrial sensors, Sick AG
Detection, counting and measuring, these are standard jobs for photoelectric sensors. In order to automate actions in a food and beverage
environment, such sensors need to meet robust requirements. Resistance to cleaning chemicals as well as leak-proofing are key features.
These qualities can only be reached by choosing an appropriate housing design. For instance, sensor housings are built entirely without mechanical rotary or pushbutton controls, and thereby eliminating any risk of penetration by liquids.
sense & sensItIvItYSensitivity and other settings can be controlled on the device itself when using a touch-teach-in system. The sensor can be taught through the housing, using a small piece of metal, like a rod or a standard screw driver. Electromagnetic components inside the sensor detect the ‘teaching object’, allowing easy setting of the scanning range without using any mechanical elements.
resIstanCe to aGGressIonIn order to make the sensor resistant against aggressive liquids and detergents, the right housing material has to be chosen. High quality stainless steel, therefore, is indispensable. It makes the sensor ready for a long life in a rough environment, dominated by frequent cleaning processes.
Besides its resistance against chemicals, it has to withstand mechanical treatment without becoming scratchy. And still it needs to secure the normal optical sensor function, which means the screen may not influence the light passing through.
hIGh pressureTogether with the best possible sealing, the sensor is able to withstand high pressure and temperatures above 100 deg C, as they usually appear during a cleaning process with hot steam.
what FItters wantSince tasks for sensors vary according to the application, machine fitters expect integrated series comprising device variants that are compatible in terms of their mounting and system requirements.
Fitters also expect sensor know-how for special tasks. A typical example of this is the version of the photoelectric reflex switch developed for detecting transparent objects such as clear glass bottles, blister packaging or tubular film—standard applications in the food and beverage industry.
Automation in the food and beverages environment results in demanding application areas for photoelectric sensors. Reliable detection, minimised risk of downtime and greater machine availability—when correctly designed and selected, food and beverage sensors have a decisive effect on overall system performance. n

With the rise in raw material and fuel prices, plus the need for sustainability, Ziemann shares more on environmentally-friendly and cost effi cient solutions. By Tjut Rostina
www.heatandcontrol.com
Progress through innovation
Heat and Control is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of food processing and packaging equipment. We have served the food industry for 60 years, have 142 US patents and offer the best international team of engineers, technicians and consultants in the industry. A combination of experience and expertise and the commitment to innovation and quality, will guarantee world class solutions for any product requirement.
Sustainability and effi cient operation lies at the heart of Ziemann’s philosophy in the conceptualisation of its machines and turn-key solutions for its customers. With the increase in prices for raw materials and fuel, a key concern in the
industry is on solutions that can minimise energy consumption, and still maintain highest levels of effi ciency and product quality.
In consideration of this increasing cost of resources, breweries have no choice but to look at ways to reduce energy and water consumption.
“What we want to achieve is for example to reduce water consumption to 2.5-3 ltr of water against each ltr of beer. At the moment, there are still breweries that are using 4-5 ltr of water for its beer production, which is a lot of water accumulatively,” says Andreas Benischek, the MD for the company’s Asia Pacifi c arm. He adds that there is also a need to reduce the use of thermal energy.
Ziemann Energy, a subsidiary of the company is dedicated to coming up with customised concepts and solutions on how a brewery can minimise energy consumption while maintaining highest product quality.
For example, the company carries out energy audits for customers, which means that they, together with the customer, defi ne the brewery’s goals and its current consumption. The specialists will then spend about a week visiting the brewery observing and analysing the various areas of operation.
The data and information collected during this audit is analysed and solutions are recommended to help the brewery achieve its sustainability goal. An important factor to highlight is the savings and return of investment (ROI). “If the ROI is 10 years, the brewery won’t be interested, and we work towards an ROI of two to three years, which is what is demanded these days,” says Mr Benischek.
An example of an innovation by the company is the ‘Ziemann No Waste Brewery’, which recycles waste, such as spent grain, to be used as a base for energy generation. He added that if all the natural waste in the brewery is recycled to act as fuel, up to 50-60 percent of thermal energy can be saved.
“In three to fi ve years’ time, we will see on a global scale, a substantial reduction in energy consumption. The big global players in the brewing industry have set specifi c time frames to achieve a substantial reduction in water consumption, fossil fuels and thermal energy for their operations on a global scale,” concludes Mr Benischek. n

Injection moulding plants today face tough global competition. To meet this need, flexible automation solutions were supplied. By Stefanie Senft, Kuka Roboter
An automated plant-wide weigh batching system engineered by Flexicon simultaneously weighs up to seven major ingredients received in bulk bags and minor ingredients received in 23 kg sacks, pails or boxes, and conveys weighed batches to a downstream blender that feeds a bulk bag filler and a paper sack filling machine.
S o m e o f t h e s y s t e m components supplied include: five loss-of-weight bulk bag dischargers with large surge hoppers and rotary airlock valves; two loss-of-weight bulk bag dischargers with small surge hoppers and flexible screw conveyors; two loss-of-weight bag dump stations with flexible screw conveyors; a check-weighing hopper; and a programmable controls package.
The filter receiver discharges weighed material into a mezzanine-level, high capacity blender mounted on load cells, providing confirmation of final batch weight. Blended batches are gravity discharged into the paper sack filling machine or the bulk bag filler, both at floor level.

cognex:
cyLindricAL pAcKAge inSpection SySteMThe Cognex OmniView system delivers high-speed inspection and identification of labels and lids on un-oriented cylindrical products such as cans, bottles, jars and vials. The multi-camera 3D modelling technology inspects products at any orientation at up to 1,200 parts per minute.
A colour option allows the checking of label graphics and bottle contents, while high-resolution cameras help check tall, thin bottles from base to neck in a single field of view.
Benefits of the equipment include tracking of parts through the supply chain by reading 1D barcodes and 2D data matrix symbols, and a more efficient workforce by eliminating manual inspection on high-speed lines.
Urschel:
e trAnSLicer cutter Urschel has designed and rolled-out a series of size reduction equipment. The E-TranSlicer is suited for elongated vegetables ( lemongrass, galangal chil i , eggplant, green bean), fruits, and cooked meats. The equipment has a variety of cutting wheels. Its machine size is designed to fit easily into processing lines.
At Magna Spiegelsysteme, everything revolves around mirrors. Located in the village of Assamstadt in the north of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, the company produces interior and exterior mirrors for the manufacturers
of the German automotive industry.A total of 14 million plastic parts leave the plant every year. The complex removal
process for the plastic mirror housings is entrusted to the robots that are designed for this process.
Magna Spiegelsysteme in Assamstadt belongs to Magna Mirror Systems, a subsidiary of the global automotive supplier Magna International. The range of products developed and manufactured includes interior and exterior mirror systems, electrochromic glass, actuators, camera vision systems and door handle systems.
The company has relied on robots for de-moulding and packaging operations: shelf-mounted robots are adapted to the removal process with their optimised reach, weight and acceleration.
Degrees of freedom—the top argument for the jointed-arm robot removal, weighing, cutting and packaging—this is the complicated constellation of tasks to be handled after the injection moulding of a mirror housing.
The decision-makers in injection moulding had the idea of using jointed-arm robots for the complex removal operation. Previously, the parts were de-moulded in twos or fours using a linear robot and set down on a conveyor system.
solutIon For Complex proCessesFor the production of a mirror housing, plastic granulate is first melted in the screw chamber of the injection moulding machines and injected into a closed mould.
The product must then cool in the mould. The ejectors move the part into the removal position, at which point the robot comes into play: equipped with a removal gripper the robot de-moulds the product, moves it out of the machine area, cuts off the various sprues and sets the mirror housings down in pairs on the scales.
After the weight check, defective parts are separated out straight away. If the product passes the quality check, it is immediately packed in a box by the robot. Where necessary, the robot also inserts a slipsheet to protect the mirror housings during transportation.
oF tIme & spaCeThis compact mounting arrangement allows the injection moulding machines to be installed close together; the space requirements for the peripheral equipment on the non-operator side of the machine have also been optimised.
These applications could only be implemented with lightweight robots – other automation solutions would have been much too heavy.
To ensure correct handling of the company’s robots, its personnel were trained by the company’s system partner SAR.
Injection moulding plants today face tough global competition. To meet this need, flexible automation solutions were supplied, to provide cost-effectiveness through minimised removal times. n
