At Pack Expo Las Vegas, Wipotec to Debut Checkweigher for Volatile Aerosol Production, as well as Versatile New X-ray Scanner

HC-A-EX Checkweigher provides precision checkweighing in environments at risk of explosion incidents; SC-S 5020 X-ray Scanner offers multifaceted inspection for F&B containers, including exacting microleak detection.

Wipotec, a leading manufacturer and supplier of precision in-motion weighing, track and trace/anti-counterfeiting solutions and X-Ray scanning equipment, will introduce two state-of-the-art inspection machines at Pack Expo Las Vegas Booth SU-8027, September 11-13. The company will premiere one unit for each of its specialties: precision checkweighing and X-ray enabled inspection.

Wipotec’s HC-A-EX Checkweigher is designed for precision checkweighing in manufacturing environments where a mix of gases or flammable substances brings moderate risk for explosion incidents. The machine meets requirements for ATEX, an EU Directive mandating safeguards in these production scenarios. Among other features, the HC-A-EX accomplishes this by nickel-coating all conveyor belts, which helps diminish adverse conductivity.

Specializing in cans and other aerosol containers, the modular HC-A-EX can handle more than 300 items per minute. In a niche where container weights can be exceedingly light, the unit is nonetheless capable of exacting checkweighing via Wipotec’s precision Electro-Magnetic Force Restoration (EMFR) technology, which enables extremely short settling times to deliver fast, accurate and repeatable weighing results. The HC-A-EX is equipped with a wide range of options, including lateral side grip conveyors or separation of rotary star wheels from separating screws, as well as several ejection and control technology features.

Also at Pack Expo, Wipotec will debut the SC-S 5020 X-ray Scanner, specifically designed for leak detection in filled and sealed glass bottles and jars used in food & beverage applications. In addition to detecting micro-leaks as tiny as 0.1mm, the unit can provide foreign body detection, fill level check and confirmation of proper screw cap or lid closure. The system enables optimum product handling – even for tall and/or slender containers – at throughput rates up to 60,000 products per hour.

Easily integrated into existing filling lines without the need for opening an additional transport route, the SC-S 5020 features ejectors capable of sorting faulty products into lockable rejection bins, or conveying them upright into a sort lane. Like all Wipotec X-ray scanners, the machine comes with a user-friendly operator interface highlighted by a 15” color touchscreen that displays real-time inspection statistics.

Using Renewable Energy, CHUK Closes in on Achieving Net Zero With Carbon Intensity of 0.1372 Tons tCO2/MT

Besides controlling carbon footprints to nearly net zero, CHUK has also ensured working towards reduced water consumption in FY 22-23

Using a philosophy powered by UN SDGs, CHUK (by Pakka Limited) achieved a total carbon intensity of 0.1317 tCO2e/MT as compared to the average carbon footprint of plastic is estimated to be 3.5 kg tCO2e/MT. Demonstrating leadership, CHUK’s sustainability report for FY 2022-23, factors in Scope 1 through 3 emissions. Scope 1 (vehicles and logistics) accounted for 1.70% of the carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 (Renewable and Purchased Electricity) and Scope 3 (purchased goods and services, waste, and raw materials) accounting for 33.24% and 65.06%, respectively.

The report showcases CHUK’s outstanding contributions to reducing carbon emissions, achieving net zero goals, and promoting sustainability within the tableware industry. However, it also acts as a larger scope for the MSME and manufacturing industry on how to align operations to generate sustainable impacts.

The brand’s bi-pillar strategy (built in collaboration with UN SDGs) focused on Monitoring & Reporting and Decarbonization & Net Zero, covers multiple parameters across 12 out of 17 goals in the UN’s list. The UN SDGs were devised to achieve the creation of a sustainable planet by 2030. The 17 parameters outline different areas across social governance, poverty alleviation, etc., to be addressed for the same.

The approach used by CHUK factored in responsible local sourcing of raw materials to reduce logistical delays and carbon footprint as a byproduct of transportation while uplifting local farming communities. Secondly, effective water management was demonstrated through effluent in effluent treatment plants (ETPs) and closely monitors key performance indicators (KPIs) such as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) to ensure the quality of their effluent, that yielded a water intensity of 24.64 KL/MT owing to the use of 48.2% recycled water. The standard water intensity for the pulp and paper industry is estimated at 54 KL/MT. Third, operational measures such as the use of locally sourced pith and rice husk to create 75% renewable energy to power operations has minimized the risk of dependence on non-renewable energy sources, resulting in automatic waste management as well.

Mr. Satish Chamyvelumani, Business Head, CHUK said, “Our report aims to build a sustainable ecosystem for the economy and foster business collaborations across the industry to boost the development of green ecosystems. By aligning with the UN SDGs, we offset carbon emissions and create societal value through each step in our product creation. It helps us achieve traceability and prioritize clean and responsible practices to lead towards a sustainable future. We will continue researching and innovating regenerative packaging solutions while maintaining the highest environmental standards in our operations.” Further adding on how this impacts customers, Mr. Chamyvelumani said, “Our carbon footprint is extremely low at 0.001 kg CO2e per piece. This is 1310% less than plastic, 8733% less than plastic lined paper-based packaging and 5406% less than Styrofoam packaging. CHUK’s products minimize carbon footprint while offering the same user experience as alternative materials. Our locally sourced bagasse containers are versatile (microwaveable, freezable, ovenable, etc.), and their minimal carbon footprint helps consumers lower downstream emissions.”

Pakka Ltd. (CHUK’s parent company) also inculcates a culture of CSR driving efforts through the establishment of a Miyawaki mini-forest of 5,000+ saplings of around 30 different species of trees and shrubs, in an area of around 2,600m2 near Pakka Skills, the education institute for vocational training, adoption of 5 ponds and lakes covering over 3.56 acres in the region around the Ayodhya plant, and their commitment to educating rural India through Pakka Foundation.

With their compostable tableware made from bagasse, CHUK is not only revolutionizing the food packaging industry but also empowering consumers and businesses to make eco-friendly choices. CHUK is paving the way and setting an example for businesses in the industry to develop sustainable and green practices to ensure India can achieve its net zero goals in due time.

SABIC Launches Pilot Blockchain Project to Advance Emissions Tracking & Reductions Across Value Chains

SABIC, a global leader in the chemicals industry, has launched a pilot project with Circularise, a blockchain software provider, to evaluate the use of their technology in tracing the carbon footprint of specific material streams from end to end.

Generating and reporting Scope 3 emissions is notably complex and confronted by challenges with availability of reliable data. Accurate data on a company’s carbon footprint requires collaboration and data sharing across multiple value chain partners. Blockchain technology has emerged as a potentially efficient solution to improve the process that can bolster transparency and accountability while minimizing risk across supply chains.

SABIC’s project will employ Circularise’s technology to capture emissions across the value chain by deploying a consistent methodological and reporting framework accepted by the industry. Scope 1 and Scope 2 data captured at the material level can be used to generate Scope 3 CO2 emissions for the full value chain of targeted industries. In addition to increased transparency, the use of Circularise’s Smart Questioning technology will benefit SABIC’s entire value chain by reducing the administrative efforts associated with the data collection and providing access to upstream and downstream data provided by value chain participants, from recyclers to converters to original equipment manufacturers, among others.

“This blockchain pilot project reaffirms SABIC’s dedication to accelerating the sustainable transformation of our industry through strategic partnerships and innovative new technologies,” said Waleed Al-Shalfan, Vice President of Polymers Technology & Innovation at SABIC. “Accurately mapping emissions, especially Scope 3 emissions, will allow SABIC and others to identify and minimize hot spots along the value chain, a critical tool in our pathways to decarbonization. We encourage other upstream and downstream partners to join and consider how this technology can unlock sustainable growth at every level moving forward.”

“We’re proud to collaborate with SABIC in tackling the pivotal challenges of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions accounting, which encompass issues like information accessibility, confidentiality, and scalability of data sharing among suppliers,” said Mesbah Sabur, Founder of Circularise. “As part of this project, Circularise aims to pilot blockchain-powered digital product passports and help businesses to track product emissions on a large scale and over time, generating comprehensive product life cycle emission reports.”

This project marks another way in which SABIC is leveraging innovative partnerships to reduce emissions and help meet its commitment of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. Earlier this year, SABIC joined Together for Sustainability (TfS), a procurement-driven initiative created by chemical companies with the goal of assessing, auditing, and improving sustainability practices within their supply chains. As a member of TfS, SABIC will foster collaboration around increasing transparency in upstream value chains to support further reductions in Scope 3 greenhouse emissions.

This collaboration with Circularise also marks SABIC’s second blockchain application project. Last year, SABIC launched a pilot project with Finboot, Plastic Energy, and Intraplás to evaluate the use of blockchain technology in supporting end-to-end digital traceability of circular feedstock in customer products.

FANUC’s ROBOSHOT Demo Showcases the Cutting Edge of Sustainability

Showcasing its end-to-end sustainability credentials from raw material handling to final packaging, FANUC UK will feature a live on-stand automated manufacturing cell at Interplas 2023 (stand D60, 26-28 September 2023, NEC, Birmingham). Comprising a FANUC all-electric ROBOSHOT injection moulding machine, a FANUC LR-10iA 6-axis robot arm and ancillary equipment provided by FANUC’s on-stand partner Hi-Tech Automation, the fully automated system will also display live data showing the amount of energy being used, as well as the cost to run the cell, to highlight the efficiency gains offered by the ROBOSHOT.

Protecting planet and profit

Sustainability is front of mind for injection moulding firms. Addressing this concern, FANUC aims to show Interplas visitors the ability of its ROBOSHOT machine to handle a wide range of materials, including bioplastic, as well as highlight the energy and cost savings compared with hydraulic alternatives.

“As the FANUC ROBOSHOT is all electric, it uses 50-70% less energy than hydraulic machines, and 10-15% less energy than other all-electric machines,” says Martin Grimshaw, ROBOSHOT Sales Manager for FANUC UK. “In fact, it has been proven to be one of the lowest energy consumptions worldwide and one of the lowest total costs of ownership on the market.”

With 60% of manufacturers reporting that out of control energy bills are now threatening their business1, being sustainable is no longer just a ‘nice to have’ but a business imperative. The demonstration cell at Interplas will be linked to a clamp meter which will measure in real time the amount of power the unit is drawing from the grid and display it live for visitors to see, as well as the value of that power in pounds and pence.

The ROBOSHOT also measures this data as standard and visitors will be invited to compare the two screens, to gauge the accuracy of the ROBOSHOT’s built-in energy meter. “We are looking forward to proving to Interplas visitors just how much energy can be saved with the ROBOSHOT, and the resulting financial benefits that it can offer,” explains Martin.

Full production lifecycle

The standard automation cell being showcased at Interplas features the FANUC ROBOSHOT S150iB at its heart. As well as low energy consumption, this CNC injection moulding machine offers repeatably high levels of consistency and accuracy, superior mould protection and rapid acceleration.

Live data showing the amount of energy used per unit will be displayed to highlight the efficiency gains offered by FANUC’s ROBOSHOT.

With system integration being a key talking point for the plastics industry, the ROBOSHOT will be tended at Interplas by a Standard Automation Cell from Hi-Tech, FANUC’s system integrator partner for the injection moulding sector. The system features the FANUC LR-10iA robot positioned on a linear rail to create a 7th axis, giving it full range of movement across and above the entire length of the cell.

“We are excited to show visitors what the ROBOSHOT can do and, just as importantly, demonstrate how the energy efficiency benefits extend across the entire manufacturing cell; from raw material handling to final packaging,” adds Martin.

Hubergroup to Feature Iray – Its New UV Flexo Portfolio – at LMAI Conference 2023

Hubergroup Print Solutions, a leading international printing ink specialist, is participating in the sixth edition of the LMAI (Label Manufacturers Association of India) Conference, to be held from July 20th to 23rd, 2023, at Jaipur. At this opportunity, hubergroup will announce its relaunched UV flexo portfolio – iray – and showcase its capabilities to the diverse printing industry contingent expected to be present at the conference. The new series iray, which replaces hubergroup’s NewV flex series, is designed as a one-stop portfolio for UV flexo printing. The comprehensive, high-performance system features UV flexo inks for food as well as non-food applications and also includes perfectly matched varnishes, primers, and adhesives.

Iray reflects hubergroup’s strategic approach to meaningfully simplify printers’ workflow by consolidating an assortment of UV flexo printing offerings under a single ink system. The newest addition are UV-curable inks and varnishes designed exclusively for food packaging applications. Backed by intensive research and thoughtfully selected raw materials, the inks match hubergroup’s stringent MGA (low migration and low odour) guidelines, which have long been synonymous with safe application on food packaging.

The fast-curing iray products with properties like high scratch resistance, excellent adhesion, low odour, and high ink yields perform well and cover multiple applications. Rigorous laboratory tests have ensured that iray inks and varnishes are deinkable on both film and paper substrates, thus ensuring their environmental compatibility. In addition, the PMV department of the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany, certified that the products are well-deinkable on paper using INGEDE method 11.

The trained team of hubergroup’s service staff is adding to the ease-of-use experience by supporting customers with a smooth implementation of the new UV flexo system and being available for on-site support at any time later.

“At hubergroup, we prioritize the development of safe and sustainable packaging. Our product development team in Germany has innovated iray – a smartly tailored, broadly inclusive, perfectly matched system for UV flexo printing,“ says Suresh Kalra, Managing Director India and President Asia at hubergroup. “With this year’s theme ‘Creativity, Innovations and Sustainability’, the LMAI Conference is just the perfect platform for presenting this state-of-the-art UV flexo series to our Indian customers and the Indian label market at large. We are looking forward to seeing you at this event for the Indian label industry.”
