SML TRIPLEX Coating Lines for Liquid Packaging Board

SML TRIPLEX Coating Lines for Liquid Packaging Board

In 2019, SML decided to step into the market for cardboard packaging for liquids launching a completely new machine with its aseptic TRIPLEX coating and lamination line. Mario Höllnsteiner is the product manager in charge of the TRIPLEX coating lines. SML TechReport talked to him about customer requirements, the advantages of in-house developed machine control and how well TRIPLEX is accepted in the market today.

Mr. Höllnsteiner: What triggered SML’s decision to develop the TRIPLEX line for liquid packaging board?

“On the one hand, we recognised the market’s demand for an alternative supplier of extrusion coating lines for liquid packaging board. On the other hand, we realised that the reuqirements suit to our own product range down to the ground. And the third, and probably most important, reason to develop this line was simply that we have the skills to do it better than the competition.”

The technical requirements for this type of line are quite demanding…

“Yes, I would even go so far as to say that the construction of extrusion coating lines for liquid packaging board is the supreme discipline in the engineering of extrusion lamination systems. SML has everything that it takes in-house, to further develop this type of highly advanced machinery – above all the technological knowledge.”

What are the most striking characteristics of the TRIPLEX coating line?

“A key characteristic, the one that most people first become aware of, is the robust set-up and the strong dimensioning of the line. This guarantees the long lifetimes, especially with regard to the use of heavy cardboard grammages, for which SML’s TRIPLEX lines were especially designed.”

Which effects does the machine control system have on the line performance and efficiency?

“The length of our TRIPLEX lines, and with it the number of drive systems, requires the rather complex control of the web tension. Since we ourselves developed the machine control system that handles the drives completely on our own, we were able to reduce the times for line ramp-up and ramp-down significantly. This minimises scraps while raising the overall line efficiency.”

How have the ongoing discussions about the recyclability of packaging materials affected the development of the TRIPLEX line?

“These discussions, of course, did not end with liquid packaging board although this type of packaging has been well-established in the market for a very long time. Manufacturers are required to substitute the aluminium in liquid cartons with an alternative co-extruded barrier film. We managed to arrange five extruders on one carrier by specially designing the movable extruder carriage. Despite this high number, each of these extruders is freely accessible. At the same time, the arrangement of the extruders helps us to keep the melt pipes relatively short.This in turn is a huge advantage when processing materials which are sensitive to long residence times in the system – like EVOH for example that can replace aluminium.”

Finally, in what way has the TRIPLEX series been further developed since it came on the market three years ago, and how are you assessing the decision to step into the market for liquid packaging board from today’s perspective?

“First of all let me say that we are, of course, constantly optimising all of our machines. The biggest innovative step in the TRIPLEX series was the increase in line speed. The TRIPLEX line was originally designed for a line-speed of 400 m/min. In the meantime we offer machines with speeds of up to 600 m/min. We took the decision to step into the market for liquid packaging board three years ago and it was most definitely the right call. Today, we have three customers who already placed their trust in SML’s lines for liquid packaging board, and there is strong interest from well-known manufacturers and brand owners all over the world.”

“Faberlab Powered by Arburg” Additive Center to Open

“Faberlab Powered by Arburg” Additive Center to Open

Bundled expertise!

  • Opening: the Additive Center is set to open on March 2 in Origgio near to Milan
  • Cooperation: 3D printing service provider Faberlab and Arburg pool their know-how
  • Additive manufacturing: systems from Arburg and innovatiQ

After a year-long planning and development phase, the “Faberlab powered by Arburg” Additive Center will be opened on March 2, 2023 at Faberlab, service provider for industrial additive manufacturing. The backdrop to the factory opening: in the future, the two companies will collaborate at Faberlab’s Origgio location in Greater Milan. The aim is to demonstrate the potentials of industrial additive manufacturing to prospective and existing customers of 3D printing technology on real machines. A freeformer 200-3X, a high-temperature freeformer 300-3X and an innovatiQ TiQ 5 printer with a large build chamber for processing high-performance thermoplastics will be put into operation at Faberlab.

Customers are set to benefit from the combined knowledge of Faberlab and Arburg. The partners will collaborate closely to provide advice on technology and all possible services associated with industrial additive manufacturing. Ivan Panfiglio, manager for additive manufacturing in Italy, is the point of contact at Arburg for customers of this technology.

This pilot project is based on the same blueprint as the Arburg Prototyping Center (APC), which the company operates at its headquarters in Lossburg as well as at its branches in the USA and China. Now, customers will be able to have benchmark components manufactured and materials qualified in Italy as well. A sales associate from Arburg s.r.l will be the specific point of contact for this customer segment and will also be responsible for contact with Faberlab. By strategically expanding its AM expertise in this way, Arburg can now specifically meet local expectations and cater to the needs of the Italian market as a whole. The on-site team is able to support Freeformer and TiQ customers even faster and in a more specific and extremely practical way.

Faberlab, in turn, has developed high-caliber expertise and knowledge in recent years through its work for the mechanical engineering, medical technology, aerospace, automotive and plant engineering industries. It now brings this know-how to the collaboration.

Centre for additive manufacturing

Alongside Raffaele Abbruzzetti, Managing Director of Arburg s.r.l. and his specialists from Italy, Dr. Victor Roman, Managing Director of ARBURGadditive GmbH + Co KG, and Dr. Didier von Zeppelin, Manager Additive Manufacturing from Lossburg, are also expected to attend the opening of the “digital laboratory” in Origgio. They will both be available for technical discussions on the opening day.

Faberlab and Arburg complement one another perfectly, which is why the “Faberlab powered by Arburg” Additive Center is also offering services such as rapid prototyping, component design and training. In other words, all-round support along the entire value chain, from development to production. “We support companies and research institutions by developing functional prototypes using different technologies, in particular ARBURG Plastic Freeforming APF and innovatiQ’s FDM technology”, says Raffaele Abbruzzetti describing the portfolio.

In concrete terms, this means that benchmark parts, functional prototypes and small series can be additively manufactured in Origgio from a wide variety of original materials, around the clock if needs be. This allows prospective customers of manufacturing systems to determine in advance whether ARBURG Plastic Freeforming or the FDM technology is actually suitable for the desired part, material and application before they commit to a purchase. To help them become more familiar with the technology, existing and prospective customers are also given the opportunity to participate in technology training courses and work with the machine themselves on site. The Additive Center is also equipped with laser cutting machines, formlabs and cutting edge digital manufacturing technologies that allow the object being manufactured to have a customised additive design.

Almost everything is possible

Additive printing without compromise is the claim of the “Faberlab powered by Arburg” Additive Center in Origgio. Without compromise means that not only standard additive components but complex functional components as well can be produced as hard/soft combinations or with support material. A wide range of original materials, material combinations and colours at the highest level of quality and stability are available for industrial scale production. Two of many examples are 3D printing using ABS for impact-resistant components with a high quality surface finish and the additive processing of SEBS, a highly elastic and soft TPE with good colourability and malleability. In Italy too, every requirement for industrial additive manufacturing can now be met.

An innovatiQ TiQ 5 printer is available at Faberlab for the production of components using FDM technology.

Guardian Glass Float, Coated and Laminated Glass Products Attain Bronze Level Cradle to Cradle Re-Certification in Europe

Guardian Glass Float, Coated and Laminated Glass Products Attain Bronze Level Cradle to Cradle Re-Certification in Europe

Guardian Glass is pleased to announce that it has attained Bronze level Cradle to Cradle re-certification for its float, coated and laminated glass product ranges – manufactured at its European plants.

The initial Cradle to Cradle (C2C) Bronze level Certification version 3.1 for the three European product ranges was attained in December 2019. Not only are these products now re-certified overall to C2C Bronze level version 3.1, but Guardian Glass is also one of the first float glass companies to meet some of the more stringent requirements of C2C Bronze level version 4.0. The three product ranges achieved at least a C2C Bronze level version 4.0 in three out of five performance categories (Material Health, Product Circularity and Water & Soil Stewardship). For Guardian float glass manufactured in Europe, C2C Gold level version 4.0 was achieved in the Material Health category.

Cradle to Cradle Certified is a global standard for products that are considered safe, circular and responsibly made. For more than a decade, Cradle to Cradle Certified has been helping companies to innovate and optimize materials and products according to advanced science-based measures. The standard encourages continuous improvement over time by awarding certification on the basis of ascending levels of achievement. Each certification level (Basic, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum) represents increasingly rigorous achievement across five categories of performance:

  • Material Health
  • Product Circularity
  • Renewable Energy & Carbon Management
  • Social Fairness
  • Water & Soil Stewardship

Benefits of building with C2C products

The Cradle to Cradle Building Charter encourages architects and designers to create, from the very beginning of the project, environmentally responsible buildings and have a positive impact on the communities where they are built. A growing number of brands, organizations and building sustainability standards such as LEED, BREEAM and WELL recognize the Cradle to Cradle Certified Product Standard as a preferred product designation for making more responsible purchasing decisions.

Jonathan Brunette, ESG & Certification Manager at Guardian Industries, comments: “This is a great achievement by Guardian Glass teams. We are particularly pleased to attain Bronze level version 4.0 in three performance categories for our European float, coated and laminated glass products. Compared to version 3.1, version 4.0 features new enhanced requirements, including new frameworks for Product Circularity, expanded requirements in Water and Soil Stewardship and improved alignment of Material Health requirements with leading chemical regulations and other standards. The re-certification demonstrates Guardian Glass’ commitment and investment in continuous improvement of its processes, producing more sustainable glass products for the European market.”

Westfalia Showcased its Cutting-Edge Agricultural R&D at Fruit Logistica in Berlin

Westfalia Fruit, a leading multinational supplier of avocados and a range of fresh vegetables and fruit, is a world leader in applied research, hosting the largest privately-funded subtropical fruit research organisation in the world.

Westfalia Fruit is the world’s largest private investor in avocado research. The company’s world renowned research programme, based in South Africa consists of a dedicated team of inhouse researchers, scientists and technicians who are aligned to several key academic research programmes globally. The team focus on three key areas to drive the industry forward: rootstocks, reducing inputs and continuous development and exploration. The team has recently welcomed Solomon Ntladi, a respected rootstock breeder based in South Africa.

For more than 40 years Westfalia has been researching disease-tolerant clonal rootstocks to develop superior avocado tree health and yields, in varying local conditions, that require minimal external inputs. The work demands significant investment as it can take 35 years to commercially develop new varieties. The process includes several years of planting trials in both nursery and orchard environments, with results continuously monitored throughout. With its diverse growing footprint, nursery and orchard trials are also duplicated across each growing area as the local natural environment is a key consideration.

“We’ve had ongoing success with existing avocado rootstocks such as Latas and Dusa, which offer high root-rot tolerance and higher yields. Dusa also offers some salinity tolerance and it’s been the top seller among clonally propagated rootstocks worldwide with more than 1.5 million Dusa trees sold annually,” said Johnathan Sutton, Group Safety and Environment Executive at Westfalia.

“Leola and Zerala are new rootstocks that were introduced to the market in 2020. With these, Westfalia can support growers with higher yielding rootstocks developed to suit a range of specific growing conditions around the world. Zerala is the rootstock of choice for growing in areas facing salinity challenges. Ongoing trials in Peru are showing very positive outcomes and the first trees are scheduled to be planted in 2024,” Johnathan continued.

Westfalia’s work also includes research into reducing synthetic fungicides in the harvesting process, with a research focused on breeding plant genetics to be more tolerant to pests and diseases, as well as well as plant based treatments.

“These plant based treatments are natural fruit sterilants like mineral or plant based oils such as thyme or citrus oil. We currently have four or five different trials running using natural fungicides across Westfalia’s global operations in Europe and beyond,” explained Johnathan.

“These trials are a good demonstration of how we approach research at Westfalia, based on our founder, Hans Merensky’s philosophy. In a three step process we carry out thorough research, take that into demonstration trials and then move to commercialization if the first two steps are successful. There is no place in our business for new technology or science without thorough and measured testing. This formula helps us to achieve success!”

Westfalia’s nursery in Peru.

 

Some of the work undertaken by the team can be less reliant on technology and laboratory work, for example plant spacing in orchards, which examines how different spaces between trees can affect yield and tree health.

Recent trials suggested that wider gaps of 4 metres may be beneficial for specific cultivars – whilst some cultivars preferred 2 metre gaps – highlighting that not all are the same and trials must be tailored and recorded for different cultivars, environments and other variables.

Irrigation, feeding, husbandry techniques are also continuously questioned and examined to determine best practice for tree health, yield, quality and the environment.

  • Emollients of Beraca Brazilian Nut Oil Refined and Plantasens Abyssinian Oil, sugar-based mild surfactants under the GlucoTain innovative range, and Plantasens Biogum Tara bio-polymer are among the highlights

Clariant will exhibit at the upcoming PCHi (Personal Care and Homecare Ingredients) show to be held in Guangzhou, China on 15-17 February 2023. It will feature a host of sustainable resources well supported by its latest technologies, and backed by global natural ingredients partners that stretch from Asia to the Mediterranean and South America. The personal care market in China will be offered these exciting natural treasures for versatile formulations that promise to bring consumer satisfaction to new heights.

While the personal care and cosmetics consumer market in China continues to expand horizontally and vertically, demand for natural ingredients and increasingly sophisticated product features are on the rise in recent years. Coupled with a bounce back of consumer sentiment following the COVID-induced downturn, personal care product brands are targeting new offerings that can tap into such growing trends and these are exactly what Clariant will be showcasing during PCHi 2023.

“Our Clariant team are really delighted to be able to bring in front of our customers in China an exciting lineup of sustainable, natural and exotic ingredients gathered from some of the most remote parts of the world. Our strong network and collaboration with established ingredient partners in different regions help ensure we are on hand to feature these treasures in our customers’ formulations to help them satisfy the up-and-coming consumer needs,” says Zhigang Miao, Head of global Industrial Applications & Region Greater China, Clariant Care Chemicals.

The diversified biomes of natural ingredients going to be featured at PCHi include the natural emollients of Beraca Brazilian Nut Oil Refined and Buriti Oil made available through the Beraca acquisition Clariant made a couple years ago. The 2 products from Amazon Forrest provide intense film forming actions and hydrated after feel, which allows skin to retain moisture. In addition, the classic emollients Plantasens Abyssinian Oil and Plantasens Olive Squalene from the Mediterranean will also be highlighted during the show.

In addition to showcasing natural ingredients gathered from around the world, Clariant will also highlight its growing portfolio of powerful surfactants and active ingredients. For instance, GlucoTain Flex that has just completed its registration in China as a new ingredient in IECIC is a mild surfactant under the GlucoTain innovative range of sugar-based surfactants known for offering sensory benefits through individual foam structures. GlucoTain is the only surfactant in the current market provides manufacturers of skin and hair care products with such a broad range of sensorial benefits. Derived from sugar, it boosts its sustainability performance, as it is biodegradable, highly renewable, has no need for ecotox-labeling and predominantly uses non-tropical biomasses. In the meantime, the active ingredients of Rootness Awake for anti-aging and Plantasens Biogum Tara bio-polymer are the other highlights at the Clariant booth during PCHi.
