Problems associated with traditional methods are low capacity, high energy costs,large capital investment and environmental issues, it says.

The Tixotherm™ system reduces water content by 15 per cent in an Agitated Film Concentrator. Product then passes to a Mixing Crystalliser which increases the dry matter and encourages further lactose crystallisation to create a paste with friable texture. Drying is performed at a high temperature in an Agitated Fluid Bed.

PROCESSING BITESinstallation news 14 Calling all pirates, firemen,policemen, doctors and nurses… but only if youʼre the miniature variety! SVIA,represented in the UK by RNA Automation, has teamed up with Tampoprint to make sure the right uniform, or in this case vest, finds the right toy figure at Palymobilʼs factories.

With 15 different kinds of plastic vest in 10 different colours a poor little chap, or chapess, could get confused by being assigned with the wrong vest. SVIAʼs MiniFlex flexible feeder system now ensures the vests are fed automatically to the correct Tampoprint machine.

The feeder system and a combined robot are linked to SVIAʼs vision system for robot guidance. The camera identifies the position and style of the vest and picks directly from the conveyor after vibratory linear feeders have separated the components.

Any components in difficult positions, or lying on top of one another, are recycled to a buffer zone. The system can be taught to recognise new components easily, so if they make a vest for a David Beckham figure do you think it might be golden…?

First fruits Staples UK, the leading supplier of office products, has ordered ten Robopac ROBOT pallet stretchwrappers from Aetna UK.

Andy Haycock, operations manager of Staples said, “The ROBOT machines are extremely versatile and need very little space in which to operate. They are ideal for use in loading bays where fixed location wrappers would be impractical, they can also wrap irregular shapes and can be parked out of the way when not in use”.

The machine has enabled faster mixing, says Ytron, and ensured homogenous characteristics, even when iron and zinc oxides are in the formulation.

In particular there is minimal air intake, resulting in much shorter waiting times.

This is due to the mixerʼs ability to deliver dry ingredients directly to the mixer head where it achieves instant wetting and absorption, the company claims.

“The new Ytron mixer has helped significantly towards maintaining quality standards”, said Jason Tilley,Tablet Manufacturing Manager, Lanes Health. “Its mixing is more efficient than the previous process which in turn has boosted our output capability,” he added.

German production of packaging and food processing machines topped Euro9.4bn in 2006, an increase of 7.2 per cent. Fifty per cent of this turnover is accounted for by packaging and beverage machines. Its share of international trade stood at 27 per cent in the sector overall, but a breakdown reveals its share of the global market for packaging machines and meat processing machines topped 30 per cent. Italy is the second largest exporter of machines with a 21 per cent share. Both Germany and Italy export 80 per cent of their production. While German national consumption continues to increase modestly in Italy national consumption is in decline.

Spread across all 19 halls at the Trade Fair Centre in Dusseldorf,interpack has been described as providing an encyclopaedia of packaging and processing.

For 2008 Messe Dusseldorf has noted a trend to larger stands and an influx of first time exhibitors. There is no shortage of statistics about interpack and while 2008 is set to break all previous records it is worth reminding ourselves of the scale of this truly international event. The 2005 show hosted 177,000 visitors, 55 per cent were overseas attendees coming from 106 countries.

The UK was second in the league table of foreign visitors with 7 per cent of the total, only the Netherlands sent more visitors.

Overall the average length of visit was 2.2 days. Industry sectors represented included 15 per cent from food and luxury items, 5 per cent from confectionery, 8 per cent from pharmaceutical and 7 per cent from chemical industries. Sixty five per cent came to see packaging or confectionery machines and 44 per cent were interested in the latest materials technologies.

Surprisingly 48 per cent of attendees were visiting interpack for the first time and overall 63 per cent came from Europe (51 per cent from the old EU), while 17 per cent came from Asia. There were 2,654 exhibitors of which 910 were German.

Todayʼs packing machines must allow the economical,flexible and hygienic production of a wide variety of packaging for diverse markets. Major trends include convenience,protection, product safety, cost efficiency and traceability. And,at the same time, all packaging and processing machinery and containers must provide environmental sustainability,storability, better dosage, easy open and reclose. Machines finely tuned to meet these demands will be much in evidence.

Two first time features at interpack 2008 will be the INNOVATIONPARC and a new Awards scheme called the iF Awards. The latter has a category open to machine companies and will focus on ergonomics, safety and design quality. Presentations will be made on 24 April.
