SNIPPETS One of the fastest ready meals production lines in the UK today has been supplied by Raque Foods to Headland Foods.

Part of Raqueʼs on going partnership with the company, the new line will be located at Headlandʼs Grimsby plant where it will fill and seal proteins, vegetables and sauces into trays which are then checkweighed prior to freezing.

A key requirement of the line, says Raque, was to reduce the number of manual operations while retaining the ability to handle dozens of different recipes. Servo drives on the machines give enhanced levels of control that result in improved weight accuracy and cleanliness to fill, it claims.

This enables the line to run for long periods without adjustment.

Raque previously supplied a freezer loading system to Headlandʼs Flint facility that enbled the company to optimise freezer capacity and distribution patterns.

SNIPPETS The latest version of Claricomʼs CLARiSOFT software for Package Coding Management (PCM) includes a number of enhancements, including compatibility with the latest GS1 DataBar barcode.

Previously known as Reduced Space Symbology (RSS) barcodes, GS1 DataBar has been endorsed by GS1 for global, unrestricted trade item identification from 1 January 2010 onwards.

CLARiFY advanced planning software has been enhanced with the ability to integrate photo standard information into its database for improved efficiency and quality control, says the company.

The photo standard is the document used throughout food and related industries to provide operators at the start of a production run with a highly visible guide to what the product and packaging should look like. Usually, there will be a unique photo standard for each variant, which in a larger manufacturing facility may mean as many as 700 documents.

The need to address this inefficiency was coupled with a desire amongst many food manufacturers to make Photo Standard part of their Q & A processes.

Making sense of packaging codes Open and shut case for clamshells Sessions clamshell labeller Claricom’s DataBar in use Flat sleeve labelling at speedHowever the EcoDesign or Energy Using Products Directive (EUP) is aimed directly at minimising climate change by encouraging manufacturers of energy using products to redesign their equipment so that it not only requires less energy in use but also in manufacture and disposal.

Up to now the EcoDesign Directive has only affected products like domestic washing machines, refrigerators and water heaters but the EU Commission has been examining the potential for extending the scope to fifty seven other groups of equipment including: Weighing machines and equipment Refrigerating equipment Food and drink production equipment Printing equipment Packaging equipment Plastics industry equipment Industrial equipment for special processes However the study only proposes refrigerating equipment and food and drink production equipment for “possible” inclusion into the scope of the Directive and focuses mainly on consumer durable products and everyoneʼs current pet hate transformer based power supplies and products with high energy use standby modes.

It is not at all clear how the Directive can be applied to anything other than mass produced products, but it is noticeable how industryʼs attitude to this legislation is changing from resisting any initiative that is likely to increase costs to recognising that this could be an opportunity for companies to add value to their products by making them more environmentally friendly.

But strangely none of these Directives address the worldʼs current main concern of energy use and the carbon dioxide emissions that are causing climate change.

Indeed one could argue that the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive is actually making matters worse with its insistence on reuse, recycling or incineration with heat recovery of packaging,regardless of the energy used and carbon dioxide emitted in the process.

Last year saw the start of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) in the UK and within months the start of an EC review to look into the problems which were cropping up all over Europe with the implementation of this legislation.

Chief amongst the concerns for suppliers of processing and packaging machinery was whether this equipment was included or not.

Countries such as Germany and Ireland have taken the view that all business to business (B2B) equipment should be excluded.

Other countries including the UK have attempted to stretch the scope of the Directive as far as possible.

A four year moratorium on the introduction of the Electromagnetic Fields Directive (EMF) has been agreed following mounting evidence that the Directive will make it impossible to operate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, aluminium smelting and chromium manufacturing equipment and possibly even arc welding equipment.

The problem with MRI scanners has been widely publicised, because while equipment operators are not at risk for most procedures, it is necessary for staff to stay with some patients like babies in about 5% of cases and in this situation the hospital would be in breach of the EMF Directive.

The purpose of the delay is to give time for gathering more information on the likely negative effects of the Directive and so if your company has concerns of how this legislation may affect your use of induction sealing or microwave cooking equipment for example, now is a good time to put them down on paper and send them to the European Commission.

The hamburger buns are inspected as a final step in an automated production line; faulty buns are rejected and those that pass are automatically packaged into boxes by a robot.

The quality control process consists of measuring height,volume and diameter, to assure that each bun is within tolerance.

It also verifies that the sesame seeds are evenly distributed on the top surface.

SICK says the camera combines the flexibility with highspeed 3D image capture.
