FROM THE EDITOR

The case for sharing the costs and burdens of true plastics circularity $4.6$8.3 BILLION

Capital investments needed to divert 90 per cent of plastic from Canadian landfills by 2030

rocrastination may not be a crime, but it is anything but a virtue in a world starting to choke on the excessive amount of plastic waste released into its waterways and landfills at unsustainable rates that now pose a serious existential threat to the plant’s long-term well-being and, in turn, its capacity for self-rejuvenation. With dire predictions about the world’s oceans containing more plastics than fish by mid-century, the so-called tipping point for completely reversing the environmental damage caused by discarded plastic products of all types could well have in fact been breached already, leaving damage limitation and mitigation as the more realistic objective. But that too may become unachievable without some drastic actions by the world’s largest and richest economies to create a viable circular plastics economy that will limit the production of virgin plastic products from fossil fuels and, where possible, curtail the use of plastics—particularly single-use plastics—to products for which there is no viable packaging alternative. It’s become a common refrain to say that not all packaging is created equal, which is often a pretext to demonize all things plastic as being inherently incompatible with the Circular Economy principles and fundamentals. But simply removing all existing plastic packaging from the global consumer economy will neither repair the damage already done, nor would it alleviate the continuing strain on earth’s other natural resources used to produce other types of packaging materials. The real problem with making plastics circularity work is that not all plastics are created equal, which is at the heart of the Conference Board of Canada’s timely new report titled Bagging Capital: Attracting Private Investments in Canada’s Plastic Recycling Industry. There are currently seven different broad types of plastic packaging used for consumer food and non-food products, graded from #1 to #7 resin identification codes that in a perfect world would help direct each piece of plastic waste into a proper recycling stream. Alas, in the absence of an efficient multi-stream recycling infrastructure in

CANADIANPACKAGING · January/February 2021

place, plastics circularity will continue to be an elusive goal, a cause without the means to support it. And support it we must, given the dire environmental woes wreaking havoc on countries far and wide with freakish new weather patterns and other once-in-a-lifetime natural calamities occurring every couple of weeks. While Canadian businesses and consumers have been good at declaring their earnest support for greater packaging sustainability, and better participation in recycling and other waste diversion initiatives that drive it, the numbers suggest a less cheerful reality. According to the Conference Board report, “Over three million tonnes of plastic waste are produced in Canada annually: only nine per cent is recycled. “We can do better,” the report pleads, with a cautionary warning about the massive capital costs of overhauling our existing plastic recycling industry characterized by “fragmentation, volatility, and an uneven playing field.” As the report states, “The capital required for infrastructure, technology, and the growth of firms that will bring these (recycling) attributes to fruition will cost billions. “For instance, diverting 90 per cent of plastic waste from landfills in Canada by 2030 is estimated to require between $4.6 billion and $8.3 billion in facility investments. “With government coffers running extraordinary deficits, the infusion of substantive private capital in plastic recycling will be instrumental,” the board report says, proposing its own set of urgent talking points to address: • Who will invest in Canada’s plastic recycling industry? • What forms of investments will be made? • What segments of the plastic recycling industry do private investors have an appetite for? If Canada is to have an effective recycling system that truly supports plastics circularity, the time to have those questions answered must surely be now.

Leading tissue brand boxes splashed with artisanal charm and elegance in highly creative packaging makeover For millions of Canadians feeling haplessly boxed in due to continuing COVID-19-related lockdowns forcing them to stay at home, a new Scotties tissue brand from Kruger Products LP may just be perfect way to spruce up their home decor while waiting for our normal lives to return. Produced at Kruger’s tissue converting

facilities in Gatineau, Que., and New Westminster, B.C., the new Scotties House & Home Designer Series tissues feature the company’s signature Scotties Original Tissues packed in elegant new boxes—as well as in multi-pack bundles of six, nine, 12 or 18 cartons—spruced up with charming new graphics created by one of Canada’s premiere home decorating studios House & Home. Comprising eight aesthetically striking designs developed by House & Home’s founder and chief designer Linda Reeves, the new collection offers enough choice and mix-and-match variety to decorate virtually every room in the house. “Our designs reflect the palette and patterns that we feel look fresh and on-trend for the way we decorate today,” says Reeves.

“Each of our designs are sophisticated enough to allow these boxes to leave the bathroom and live in different rooms throughout our homes.” As Reeves explains, the new varied-color designs include: • Graphic Modern. A graphite background and cream lines present a bold, contemporary accent that will work in the most stylish spaces. • Cross Stitch. Simple yet sophisticated, Cross Stitch gets its global vibe from its mustard and cream combo—a motif inspired by artisanal crafts. • Country Blue. Enduring and charming, this tissue box will be a favorite for anyone who wants to bring home a hint of country. • Charming. A brocade-like pattern in rosy pink on crisp white, this tissue box is a classic choice for most rooms in the house. • Pin Stripe. A sage-colored background is complemented by clean white pin-stripes to create a versatile design that is crisp and tailored. • Sketch. A leaf motif drawn in fine lines on a white background makes this tissue box clean, refined and elegant. • Water-color. This mod botanical design plays on the beauty of flora and the artistic charm of a painting. • Moody Mauve. Reminiscent of block print tiles, this combo of a calming colour and an intricate pattern feels like modern charm. “These brilliant designs from House & Home are not your ordinary tissue boxes,” says Kruger Products chief marketing officer Susan Irving.

“As Canada’s Number One tissue, Scotties are soft and strong, and now they’re also more beautiful and stylish than ever. “You can depend on Scotties both for the tissues you love,” Irving adds, “but also to add design in an instant with tissue boxes perfect for every room in your home.” Adds Reeves: “I was thrilled to be asked to design a new line of Scotties tissue boxes because they are a staple that we all need throughout our homes. “They provide a great opportunity to add a pop of color and style to an otherwise blank space,” she says. “They can bring a colorful hue to a plain bookcase, liven up a kitchen back-splash, or bring a hint of unexpected style to a front-hall table. “Our patterns were created with design-conscious consumers in mind,” Reeves explains. “The modernist will love the graphic black and the delicate white tissue boxes, while the lovers of color will appreciate the country blue, soft coral, mauve and muted sage greens used in multiple patterns. “All our colors are on-trend for the way we decorate today,” Reeves relates. “We used our favorite paint brands as reference points and considered the most popular shades our followers love to use on their walls, cabinets and counters, including natural woods that are so popular for built-ins and furniture.” 6 CPK_Plan Automation_JanFeb22_CSA.indd 1

Rebranded rice is back in the mix in grocery aisles

After ditching is long-enduring but admittedly outdated and out-oftouch brand name, Mars Food Canada has launched its rebranded Ben’s Original instant flavored rice mix in updated packaging featuring a new brand name set against the familiar orange background and the same navy-blue font to help shoppers easily find the bestselling product originally retailed under the now-defunct Uncle Ben’s label. Being one of several major food brands in recent years to attract criticism and backlash for insensitive racial overtones, the arrival of new Ben’s Original products on Canadian shelves follows on last year’s promise to rebrand the popular product with an ambition to create a more inclusive future, according to Mars, while maintaining firm commitment to producing the world’s best rice. “Everyone deserves to feel welcomed, heard and have access to nutritious food,” says Mars Food Canada’s marketing director Eric Huston. “Ben’s Original is not just a

packaging change: it comes with a new ambition to actively create a more inclusive future. “We knew when we pledged to evolve the Uncle Ben’s brand that it meant more than simply changing our name,” Huston states. “Enhancing equity and inclusion means committing to actions that help deliver true equity to underserved communities across Canada.” Produced in Bolton, Ont., the Ben’s Original rice mixes are available in 16 different SKUs (stock-keeping units) comprising a varied choice of flavors and cooking methods, with most of them packaged in 240-gram flexible stand-up pouches designed by Mississauga, Ont.-based branding services providers SGK LLC. Inside the new packaging, “Consumers will continue to find a wide range of simple and tasty rice dishes with flavors and textures that serve as the cornerstone of so many favorite meals that invite people to gather around the table,” according to Mars Food Canada.

FIRST GLANCE

MAKING A MARK Designed for durability, safety, low maintenance and ease-of-use, the new Model 4050 label printer-applicator from Weber Marking Systems of Canada boasts a flexible modular design that can be adapted for any specific application. Compatible for use with print engines from all the major manufacturers, Model 4050 is available for right- or left-hand applications, it can be outfitted with a wide variety of label sizes, and it uses a modulate vacuum system to reduce air consumption by up to 80 per cent compared to competing systems, according to Weber. The system’s integrated sensors constantly measure the labeling pressure required, adjusting as needed during operation, while the system’s powered unwinders and rewinders help minimize wear on the printing modules, while ensuring precise printing. The 13.75-inch unwind matches the label length and ribbon length for one-to-one media consumption—reducing downtime and eliminating partial changeovers. The Model 4050 was designed without maintenance parts, which means components are replaced when needed, with only the print engine requiring maintenance as per the manufacturer’s requirements. Additionally, the system features a seven-inch LCD color touchscreen that puts all the operational, diagnostic and production details at the customer’s fingertips—providing display in light or dark modes. Weber Marking Systems of Canada

SENSORY PERCEPTION The new Memosens 2.0 liquid analysis sensors from Endress+Hauser are the second generation of the revolutionary Memosens liquid analysis technology that converts measured values into CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

digital signals and sends them inductively to the transmitter—providing safe data transfer for increased availability of the measuring points and trouble-free processes. With the introduction of Memosens 2.0 sensors for pH/ORP, conductivity and dissolved oxygen, those liquid analysis measuring points are now future-proof and IIoT-ready ready, offering a range of potential additional benefits like a data foundation for predictive maintenance. Being backwards-compatible and easily integrated into existing systems, the Memosens 2.0 sensors store numerous relevant data—such as operating hours, minimum and maximum temperatures— and measured values, calibration histories and load matrices. This data can then be used and processed for comprehensive analysis and more precise process management. Equipped with highly integrated electronics, the new sensors also provide a perfect basis for predictive maintenance strategies with Endress+Hauser’s Heartbeat Technology, and enhanced IIoT services via the Netilion Cloud ecosystem. Endress+Hauser Canada

THE DRY RUN Designed for label-free and high-resolution coding, branding and text generation on secondary packaging, including corrugated, the new 5940 G Touch Dry high-resolution inkjet coder from Markem-Imaje prints GS1-128 compliant codes on corrugated cases and trays of fresh produce, beverages, meats, confectioneries and many other foods, as well as providing precision printing on polystyrene for frozen foods and shrinkwrap for pallet shipments. Using the company’s proprietary odorless and VOC-free Touch Dry inks that instantly dry on contact, the new coder can also prints clean, crisp information and codes on various porous surfaces, including fabrics and non-wovens for medical personal protective equipment (PPE) masks, gowns and diapers. The new 5940 G features patent-pending Intelli’Flow printhead technology that avoids nozzle blockages due to ink backsplash and dust build-up, along with a special a filtering process that

degasses the ink during printing to keeps the jetting mechanism clean and clear—resulting in a higher print quality, greater throughput, reduced maintenance, and less downtime. Markem-Imaje

SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL The new LR-X Series from Keyence is a remarkably small laser sensor capable of detecting positioning without being affected by color, surface finish or shape—providing impressive durability with its food-grade stainless-steel housing and guarded cable. Capable of detecting position changes as small as 0.5-mm and featuring automatic and real-time intensity adjustment to ensure stable detection., the miniature sensor to be used in a wide variety of applications, including those with small positional changes. Said to be the world’s first green laser CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sensor, the LR-X Series features an intuitive OLED display to spell out readings with perfect clarity, as well as an innovative gyro monitor that immediately alerts users if the sensor is knocked out of alignment. Keyence Canada Inc.

here has never been or will be a better time than now to adopt wide-scale sustainability initiatives throughout our businesses. We do not have the luxury to take our time, and we certainly do not have the luxury of simply talking the talk. We need to take action, and do so in a meaningful way that will do good for the world around us, while driving more streamlined and profitable business operations The COVID-19 pandemic has brought the environment into an ever-sharper focus. With pollution clearing in many cities around the world, sheep spotted venturing into villages quieted by isolation measures, and birdsong intensifying just everywhere, people finally saw what our environment could sound and look like. On the flip-side, we saw an increase in extreme weather events like never before. Whether it was heat waves across the U.S. mid-west that knocked out the power grid, wildfires in California, or hurricanes powerful enough to ravage New Orleans and New York City alike, people are starting to feel the awesome destructive impact the environment can have on our lives. Something needs to change. But encouragingly enough, consumers around the world recognize this need and are ready to take action to reduce their environmental footprint. Packaging waste is the poster child for corporate sustainability, or lack thereof. Excessive, unnecessary, non-recyclable packaging is instantly noticeable an,d in many cases, is the first thing consumers see in a product. This willingness to go a more sustainable route in packaging is backed up by Trivium Packaging’s 2021 Packaging Buying Green Report, in which 73 per cent of more than 15,000 everyday consumers said they were willing to pay a premium for eco-friendly packaging. Unfortunately, there is still too much ambiguity about what constitutes such packaging, driven by a common misunderstanding of what the words “recyclable” and “circular” really mean—specifCANADIANPACKAGING.COM

it easier for you and me to drop off bags of recyclables; it also needs to efficiently process the recycled material and quickly get it back into the infinitely recyclable loop. Moreover, the lack of simple, universal labeling standards, in combination with mixed messaging, leaves the public without any idea of what to do—even if their intentions are there. Let’s face it: It is far too difficult for the everyday person to make sense of the more than 450 environmental labels in use over 199 countries and 25 industry sectors. As a result, consumers often misunderstand, overlook, or even encounter “recycling fatigue” when trying to make their best judgement on if a material is fit for recycling or not. So how do we fix all of this? Companies must take it upon themselves to have clear, educational communication which empowers the consumer with the information they need to make an informed decision. The desire to be eco-friendly is there, but it is the companies’ responsibility to share the necessary information with the consumer so they can act upon their desires. With clearer, more direct communication, consumers can make decisions which more closely align with their personal beliefs and needs. Additionally, it is critically important that companies inform their customers about the differences between items that are recyclable, and items that have a full circular life-cycle. A staggering amount of the public does not know the difference, but once they are relayed this information, there is little doubt they will begin voting with their dollar for products which more closely align with their beliefs for a fully circular product life-cycle. Lastly, we must realize that not all materials are created equal and that, certainly, not all packaging is created equal. Most everyone knows about the harm of single-use plastics, but the nuanced discussion of mixed recyclables and infinite recyclability is lagging behind. As companies at the forefront of sustainability innovation continue to push the narrative forward, public demand will follow—obliging brands to align to their desires for a greener, healthier future for all of us.

Another key difference between materials is the recycling infrastructure. Even if a material can technically be recycled, the infrastructure may not be in place to actually recycle it. Again, much ends up in a landfill, in an incinerator, or in our waterways. For their part, metal cans are a great example of a packaging material that is both circular and have high actual recycling rates. According to a recent white paper by Trivium Packaging—titled Protect, Promote, Preserve—up to 80 per cent of all metals produced today are still available, or in use, because they recycle forever without any loss of quality. It’s also due to the fact that steel and aluminum enjoy well over 60-percent recycling rates globally, and significantly higher in Europe. On the other hand, packaging which is mixed or composite (packaging made from layers of different materials bonded together) is very often difficult to separate into its individual component materials in order to be deemed recyclable. Hence, more often than not the entire package ends up in a landfill. Despite consumers having a desire to be environmentally responsible, many ROB HUFFMAN is the chief companies are not making it easy for growth officer at Trivium them to do so.

THE VISION QUEST Canadian packaging machine-builder leverages robotics and machine vision expertise to develop cutting-edge system solutions By George Guidoni, Editor Photos by Naomi Hiltz

utting vision into action is nothing new for Chris Follows, founder and president of a well-established, proudly Canadian packaging systems builder and integrator Propack Processing & Packaging Systems, Inc. Founded in 1996, the privately-owned company has enjoyed a steadfast rise up the ranks of North American packaging machinery industry—celebrating its 25th anniversary last year with a stellar record of successful machine installations and line integration projects across major sectors of the food-and-beverage industries with exacting quality, performance and safety requirements. Headquartered at a state-of-the-art 30,000-square-foot customer service and testing facility in Beamsville, Ont., the company operates three manufacturing locations in southern Ontario and Quebec to produce various automation components and subsystems used in its turnkey workcell automation projects, while also offering ongoing customer support from service locations in Beamsville, Halifax, Chicago and Atlanta. “We focus our attention on the North and South American markets, which is where we can bring the most value,” Follows told Canadian Packaging on a recent visit to the Beamsville facility, which is also the central location for the company’s FAT (functional acceptance testing) validations and equipment demonstrations. “We export approximately 70 per cent of our equipment to the United States and South America, offering machine training and documentation in Spanish to support our South American customers. “The technology we have today allows us

Featuring advanced camera technology developed in-house by Propack, the new ProVision system uses advanced image processing techniques that enables it to determine the perimeter of the package before guiding the robotic end-of-arm tooling to the center of that package each and every time. This is especially important for packages filled with loose bulk ingredients that tend to shift and clump together inside the primary wrap before being picked up by the robots. The ProVision camera essentially makes sure that the robot will pick up the package right at the center even if the pack’s main contents have moved off to a side or a corner of the package— thereby ensuring consistent placement for the secondary packaging process. Follows explains, “When you have product coming out of a vertical bagger, you tend to have ‘tear dropping,’ whereby a cluster of product shifts towards one side of it. “Whereas the typical vision systems on ABB and other robots will determine that cluster to be the center of the package,” Follow says, “our ProVision technology is able to identify the outline of the package irrespective to where the cluster is.

duce various machinery components designed to help its machinery maintain the highest possible sanitary standards. “Sanitation is everything,” Follows states, citing the company’s new Propack machine—incorporating four FlexPicker robots—featuring stainless-steel frames and smooth contoured surfaces. Designed for continuous 24-hour pick-and-place operation at speeds of 200 pieces per minute in +3°C environment, the robust machine features an IP69K rating and features an array of 3D-printed color-coordinated components and tooling with simple snap-in-place installation and removal for cleaning and maintenance. “We can’t have any points along the machinery where bacteria can harbor,” Follows explains. “All of our equipment that we’re producing here is fully hygienic, with machines that can be completely disassembled for cleaning and sanitation, and then quickly reassembled. “Efficiency and sanitation are the two biggest issues facing machinery suppliers today,” Follows states, “and Propack has been strategically developing patented technologies to provide our customers with enhanced automation capabilities. “As a result, Propack has a unique market position because our machines are amongst the fastest and most efficient in CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

As Follows points out, the 3.5-acre site owned by Propack in Beamsville offers plenty of space for future expansions, while the firm’s physical proximity to premier vocational training institutions like Brock University, Niagara College, McMaster University and Mohawk College—all located within a 20-minute drive—ensures access to a pool emerging young talent to take care of any future staffing needs. That factor is bound to become ever more important as the company continues to focus its activities on new business opportunities in promising growth markets such as non-food consumer goods and

convenience items, personal care products, and frozen and pet food markets. As Follows confides, “Propack invests money into R&D without the pressures of quarterly thinking—that’s the big advantage of operating a privately-held company with a vision. “The packaging technology is continually moving forward and changing, and we’re here to adapt to it and ensure that we’re continuing to supply the market not with just leading-edge technology, but truly cutting-edge technology,” he concludes. “With the technology and the team we have here at Propack, we will continue to listen intently to our customers and customize our machines to meet their requirements.”

AIR SUPERIORITY Food packaging producer makes huge cuts in compressed air consumption through leading-edge automation to lower energy costs and reduce carbon footprint

hile many companies claim their products or services pay for themselves, iZ Systems proves it—time after time. Based in Macon, Ga., the company provides clients across a range of industries with energy auditing services and control systems that quickly deliver a complete ROI (return-on-investment) through the resulting energy use reductions. “Almost every system upgrade we complete is based on green initiatives to reduce energy consumption at plants,” says Dean Smith, general manager and technical manager for iZ Systems. “We guarantee these savings, and our technology platform proves that significant energy reductions are maintained in the long term.” Since Smith founded iZ Systems in 1990, the company has continued to expand its product offerings and client base, gaining customers internationally as a division of its parent company Blake & Pendleton. iZ Systems has long performed audits and upgrades of compressed air and industrial vacuum systems, and it now offers these services for cooling water systems as well. With its standard control cabinets that include built-in HMI (human-machine interface) displays, iZ Systems supplies eco-friendly technologies that measure efficiencies, support remote data acquisition, and deliver insightful energy usage information to customers. For seven years, iZ Systems has provided these services to food packaging manufacturer Pactiv at its Macon facility, which focuses on molded fiber egg cartons. The partnership began with a project to replace the compressed air systems supplying low-pressure blowers, according to David Powell, maintenance manager for

To reduce energy requirements, iZ Systems implemented low-pressure blowers in place of more expensive compressed air. Pactiv. “With every blower we tested, the pressures would change too much even if a single nozzle was adjusted,” Powell says. “The iZ Systems team promised a blower system that would not change in pressure, even if you shut off all but one nozzle, and their system has worked flawlessly.” The system improvements for Pactiv resulted in unique technical specifications, highlighting the fact that greater system openness is increasing in importance across all industries. To guarantee that customers’ systems achieve peak performance, iZ Systems must be able to monitor data remotely and make adjustments whenever necessary. However, connecting to clients’ diverse networks can be difficult, according to Allen King Jr., inside application project manager for iZ Systems. “The ability to access and analyze performance data with ease is very important,” King says. “To this end, we access data from systems across the globe using a common source and format.” In addition to its thorough audits, the company accomplishes these goals through its turnkey iZ Compressed Air Automation and Data Acquisition System, which combines the automation controller, I/O and HMI in a single control cabinet and utilizes custom software. This system must support an increasing

number of connected devices— 50 compressors across a factory, for example— while reducing footprint, complexity for users, cost and, most importantly, unplanned downtime. “Improved reliability is an ever-present demand from industrial clients,” Smith says. “A compressed air system that is not reliable has the ability to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost production and energy costs. “A reliable and well-managed comJanuary/February 2022 · CANADIANPACKAGING

maintained those savings ever since.” More importantly, the systems with Beckhoff components achieve the utmost reliability. Secure communication with customer machinery via OPC UA allows iZ Systems to monitor any changes in performance that could require maintenance. Powell says this, along with excellent support, has been crucial for Pactiv: “The system alerts me when there are any abnormalities with the compressors, but iZ gets the warnings as well, and their engineers are usually working to address the issue before I call them.” In addition to boosting reliability, iZ Systems has reduced control cabinet footprint by twothirds on average by implementing Beckhoff controls. “Our old cabinets were much larger because the previous PLC generated an excessive amount of heat, increasing our cooling requirements and energy consumption. “With the Beckhoff hardware, heat generation is not a problem, and we increased our own energy efficiency like we do for our customers,” King says. The flexibility and scalability of Beckhoff components allows iZ Systems to build and stock standard control cabinets for future use, rather than designing a custom cabinet for each client. By creating open systems that support multi-vendor architectures, iZ Systems has the unique opportunity to apply energy-saving solutions from one industry to another. For example, the blower solution implemented at Pactiv has also worked for clients in the steel casting industry, among others. “In many facilities, we installed these low-pressure blower systems to provide cooling or control of fluids and coolants, and it basically produced a 25-to-one reduction in energy,” Smith says. “We try to make the initial acquisition cost attractive to the client while guaranteeing major energy reductions, and the Beckhoff platform has made a huge difference in our ability to meet these goals.”

SEE YOU IN OCTOBER! Canada’s top craft brewing industry event reluctantly rescheduled for fall

he Ontario Craft Brewers (OCB) Conference Planning Committee has made the difficult, but necessary decision to reschedule the Ontario Craft Brewers Conference & Suppliers Marketplace 2022 (OCBC22), from February 16-17, 2022, to October 25-26, 2022, in Niagara Falls, Ont. “The OCB deeply regrets the challenges this schedule change may cause participants and attendees,” says OCB president Scott Simmons. “However, health and safety have to be our top priorities.” “The OCB is deeply grateful to all OCBC22 sponsors, speakers, exhibitors and attendees for their support to date, which is vital to the success of OCBC,” Simmons adds. “All paid tickets, booths, and sponsorships will be transferred to the rescheduled event.” Says Simmons: “After two years of pandemic lockdown, we look forward to seeing the Canadian craft brewing industry’s top brewers, decision-makers, thought leaders, suppliers and supporters finally gather for two days of craft brewing education, networking, social events and business development. “The OCBC also features the largest craft brewing trade show in Canada, with more than 140 industry suppliers.” With the growth of the craft brewing sector in the past two decades, there are now hundreds of operating breweries, contract brewers and brewpubs in communities across the province—employing nearly 6,000 Ontario residents. Alas, the global pandemic has had a major impact on craft brewing retail and tourism, according to OCB.

To mitigate that adverse impact, breweries are working in collaboration with their local communities, business organizations, governments and industry colleagues to build and sustain recovery from this great disruption. As part of that recovery, the rescheduled OCBC22 will provide the first major opportunity for the industry to connect broadly, face-to-face, in an ideal environment to facilitate collaboration and revitalization of the industry.

doing contract manufacturing and co-packing for their outside clients, Brunswick operates as a focused ‘partner’ manufacturing enterprise fully committed to helping its customers succeed in the marketplace through thoughtful product and packaging innovation. “We only produce for our partners,” says vice-president of sales and marketing David Faber, who joined Brunswick last year after acquiring deep beverage industry experience working the likes of Heineken, Diaego and Red Bull. “We’re not just renting time and space on our production line,” Faber points out, “but rather work in partnership with our customers to help their brands succeed. “We have brand customers coming to us with their product and asking us to make that product perfect for them,” Faber told Canadian Packaging on a recent visit to the lively facility that also houses an on-site tap room and a large dining/entertaining area for hosting weddings, banquets, workshops and seminars, and other special events. “Our goal is to put as much value back into our customers’ pockets as possible to help their brands be successful,” he states, “because we grow as they grow.”

This complementary growth strategy has enabled the company to attract and retain some of the biggest brand-owners in the alcoholic drink markets, Faber relates, stressing the competitive advantage of having a full-staffed product development lab on-site to help customers experiment with different product recipes and packaging formats to remain on-trend in a highly competitive and dynamic industry. “The beverage world has evolved significantly over the years, and as a result there is a lot of blurring going on between all the different beverage categories,” Faber points out. “There are new flavored beers, non-alcoholic beers, energy drinks, alcoholic energy drinks, all kinds of vodka sodas … companies big and small are all coming up with new innovations, and our on-site lab works with them to bring those innovation to the LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) and other retail customers,” he says. “We are always trying to be on the forefront of the new package format and style needs to help our customers grow,” says Faber, citing recent development of a new five-liter party-sized keg designed for a fast-growing brand of vodka-based soda beverages.

Operating at the site of a one-time leading Canadian office furniture supplier Brunswick Manufacturing, Brunswick Bierworks has undergone a series of significant expansions over the last five years—on top of the massive initial facility rebuild and refurbishment—to raise its annual capacity to about one million hectoliters, according to Faber. Incredibly, the company is planning to more than quadruple its current output over the next year with the pending arrival of a new state-of-the-art, high-volume Krones canning line that will run at speeds of up to 1,100 containers per minute. “We have grown tremendously,” says Faber, citing ongoing 30,000-square-foot facility expansion to accommodate the new Krones line, operational this spring. While Brunswick originally started out as a craft beer producer, the production of innovative beverage categories like hard seltzers, cocktails, ciders, radlers and non-alcoholic beers now accounts for a major share of the plant’s manufacturing capacity. Housing a multitude of towering 300and 400-hectoliter holding, fermenting, mixing, blending and other tanks and vessels for brewing and beverage production, the facility currently uses a German-made Krones Craftmate filling line to package its beers and RTD drinks at speeds of 250 cans per minute—primarily in standard 355-ml , sleek 355-ml and 473-ml Tallboy cans—along with highly automated case-packing and end-of-line packaging equipment to fill its orders exactly to customers’ wishes and specifications. “So if a customer needs 10,000 cases of product in January, 100,000 cases in February and some other number in the following month, that is exactly what they will get from us,” says Faber, adding that Brunswick can also arrange for direct delivery of the product to the customer’s own retail clients of choice if that’s what they want. “That’s what operating as a ‘customers’ production facility’ means to us,” says Faber, adding that the company’s business model enables Brunswick to be selective about what customers it chooses to work with. CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

“Naturally we prefer to partner up with companies that share the same values that we do,” says Faber, citing environmental responsibility, entrepreneurship, quality and innovation as some of the key selection criteria. For chief operating officer ChristianVon der Heide, the obsession with quality and customer service is a natural expression of Brunswick’s unique business model and mindset—compellingly underscored last May with formal certification to the international FFSC 2200 (Version 5) food safety standard of the GSFI (Global Food Safety Initiative). Designed to ensure optimal food safety for consumers from front to end of the production process, FFSC 2200 defines a comprehensive food safety system that meets the demands of both the company’s customers and consumers, according to GSFI. “Achieving FSSC 22000 certification validates our commitment to maintaining the highest standards for food safety guidelines worldwide,” Von der Heide states. “It further highlights our ability to satisfy the most discerning customer needs.” Since early last summer, this laser-sharp focus on quality has been significantly reinforced on the Krones Craftmate filling CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

line with the installation of a state-of-the-art TapTone FS (Force) container inspection system to detect even the tiniest microleaks caused in the filled pressurized containers during the seaming process—instantly rejecting any leaking containers off the line before they move on to the secondary packaging stages. Manufactured by North Falmouth, Ma.-based Teledyne TapTone and distributed in Canada by Abbey Equipment Solutions of Burlington, Ont., the TapTone FS systems leverage advanced stain-gauge technology to sense internal pressure by measuring the sidewalls of the container with high-sensitivity DSP (Digital Signal Processing) system for exceptionally thorough inspection of pressurized containers filled with carbonated and/or liquid nitrogen-infused beverages. As Von der Heide relates, the case for installing such a system first became apparent when Brunswick Bierworks recently added the slim-profile “sleek” 355-ml cans to its packaging repertoire for one of its customers. “As we had upgraded to the sleek 355-ml, we became aware that our existing equipment was struggling with detecting the really small microleaks,” he recalls, “so we quickly decided to go with the absolute best

equipment that there is for leak detection in cans, and the TapTone technology was quickly identified as being the best there is. “And although we had not worked with Abbey Equipment Solutions before, I was very impressed with their knowledge and professionalism,” says Von der Heide, a native of Munich, Germany, with over 35 years of experience in the global beer and distilled spirits industries. “The TapTone was quickly installed and fully functional immediately,” he recalls. “Naturally we had to make a few adjustments to adapt it to our line’s specific needs,” he says, “but it was all done within 24 hours of the system’s arrival to our plant, and it has been running seamlessly ever since. “In retrospect, I would have liked to have installed such a system back in 2016 when we started up,” Von der Heide adds, “but this advanced technology simply did not exist at the time.” Designed to perform rapid 100-percent container inspection at high production line speeds of up to 525 feet per minute, the TapTone FS system leverages its patented Force technology to detect leak and low pressure in liquid nitrogen-dosed and carbonated beverage containers by using two parallel belts to transport the container past

Utilizing DSP technology, the controller analyzes the measurement and assigns a merit value to each container. If the merit value is outside of the acceptable range, a reject signal activates a remote reject system and the container is removed from the line. Easy to operate and program using a large color touchscreen and icon-driven menus, the TapTone FS system uses two independently operating reject output mechanisms to reject and sort the passing containers, and it can also be used in applications such as aerosol containers; retorted dairy drinks packaged in cans; liquid nitrogen-dosed and/or carbonated iced tea, juices and water packaged in PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic bottles; and other low- to mid-range pressure applications up to 160-psi pressure levels. Easy to integrate in most existing automated beverage filling lines, the TapTone FS system offers a broad range of options to cover just about every conceivable potential bottleneck or problem area, including: • Air Pressure Monitoring. Monitoring and displaying the air pressure at the rejector, activating an alarm signal if the air pressure drops below user pre-set limits. • Cap Inspection. A choice of optical or camera-based inspection sensors for missing, high, or cocked bottle caps. • Down Bottle/Can Inspection, for detecting containers that might have fallen over on the conveyor and were not inspected. • Rejectors, a choice of pneumatic ram and standing rejection systems. • Reject Verification, for detecting a container that has failed the inspection but has not been rejected from the production conveyor. Andrej Bagrincev, technical sales repre-

sentative with Abbey Equipment Solutions who oversaw the TapTone FS system installation at Brunswick Bierworks, is quick to compliment the beverage producer for making the right equipment choice to improve its quality control and assurance capabilities. “Traditional proximity sensors that are widespread in beer industry don’t work for leakage inspection of low-pressure beverage cans because there is not enough pressure to develop typical curvature of can lids,” he explains. “In other words, proximity sensors cannot offer enough resolution to measure pressure inside cans,” Bagrincev states. “That’s why Brunswick Bierworks needed a more sophisticated system,” he says, “and that’s why they chose TapTone to achieve their objective of acquiring a highly accurate leakage detection system for their low-pressure beverage cans.” Von der Heide concurs: “We wanted to make sure not only that we meet normal criteria with our regular inspection equipment, but that we would achieve the highest levels of package integrity by making sure there are no micro-leaked containers going to market from our facility. “The TapTone inspection system has enabled us to completely remove that risk to date.” Says Von der Heide: “As a real partner packaging company, we take pride in helping our clients develop innovative packaging formats for their products. “This means thinking ahead of the immediate transaction by linking our company’s success to our customers’ success— taking advantage of their growth through joint ‘incubation + innovation,’ if you will. “We are far more integrated with our clients than your classic co-packers—that’s the key point of difference for us in the marketplace,” he reiterates. “Clients can struggle in the complex

end-to-end C2C (concept-to-commercialization) process for their products,” Von der Heide notes, “and that’s where we put our skill to use, translating a client’s commercial mission into an attractive CPG product that they leverage accordingly in the marketplace. “That’s why all our capital investments, including TapTone, are geared to us being a total solutions provider to the entire beverage industry,” he concludes, “rather than just being a bit player in a narrow product category.”

While the Laker brand of beers only retails in Ontario, all of the company’s other branded products have national distribution. For its part, Waterloo Brewing’s co-manufacturing business produces a variety of canned beverages, including beer, seltzers, ciders, tomato-based beverages, and even a line of energy drinks for a growing list of brand customers. The past several years has been a time of aggressive expansion in improving and g r ow i n g Wa t e r l o o B r e w i n g ’s 177,000-square-foot facility housing offices, retail space, a restaurant/taphouse, and manufacturing and warehousing space. “We’ve really done a lot, especially the past seven years,” Fantin says. “We’ve spent around $85 million. “We keep adding more tanks and more processes [and] we added an on-site retail store, which we complemented with a restaurant and patio to feature our craft beers,” Fantin says. The most recent investment the company made in its operations was a new canning line in 2021—adding a second canning line to the facility. “That (canning) is the big package format that’s growing year over year,” Fantin says, noting the two canning lines are packaging increasingly varied varieties of beer, cider and RTD (ready-toCANADIANPACKAGING.COM

The overall speed of the canning line is

dictated by the filler, which currently operates at 775 cans per minute. That said, the line can be pushed to fill up to 850 cans per minute, Fantin says. “We designed the line so that if we ever changed that filler, it could go up to 1,000 cans per minute,” he adds. The new canning line starts with pallets of empty cans which are swept layer by layer onto a conveyor system with a Barry-Wehmiller 400G2 automatic empty can depalletizer. The depalletizer sweeps empty cans onto the conveyor system where they are single-filed and sent through an ionized

Once filled, the cans are sent through the CFT Group PR TUNNEL 4x22 RC-UP tunnel pasteurizer. This is the second can pasteurizer Waterloo Brewing has purchased from CFT. The decision was easy, as Fantin was impressed by the ease of installation and commissioning of the first pasteurizer they installed. “It just went in, and it ran,” Fantin recalls. “This was the easiest machine start-up I’ve ever done. “It hit the operating specification on the first run,” he extols. “We put in the theoretical settings and punched in the temperatures, and started it up.” Says Fantin: “It hit right where it was supposed to, and it just kept going. “To verify the performance, we sent in a can with a monitoring probe so we can measure the pasteurization performance and were just floored that it matched.” Moreover, Fantin readily adds that all CFT machines feature excellent fill controls and are easy to work on. “Our team is also very familiar with the machine and the company,” Fantin points out. “We have the same valves on all our can filling machines. “Once you’re familiar with them, it makes a world of difference.” After being filled, and pausterized if required, the cans are either placed inside corrugated trays—in “loose” arrangement for individual can January/February 2022 · CANADIANPACKAGING S13

For the latter, the plant employs WestRock Company’s high-speed DuoDozen 1250M model end-load cartoner capable of packing up to 1,200 cans per minute in four different case configurations for both standard and sleek cans. For tray-packing, the line is equipped with an SMI SK500T ERGON tray-packer/wrapper that can process up to 50 trays per minute. “It quite a flexible machine that can package both standard cans and sleek cans in loose format, 12 and 24 cans per unit, and a variety of cartons, including four-pack and six-packs,” Fantin notes. Once the cans are packed inside boxes or trays, they are transferred to the SMI APR 3105L ERGON low-level palletizer, where the cases are stacked onto a pallet in pre-programmed layer patterns. “The SMI palletizer is capable of palletizing up to 50 units per minute for 24-packs and 70 units per minute for 12 packs,” Fantin notes. “We use three different pallets,” Fantin points out, “and this palletizer is able to fulfill our customer needs with varying layer-building patterns and the number of cases per tier.” Once palletized, the loaded skids move on to the WCA-SMART automatic turntable stretchwrapper, manufactured by Wulftec International, capable of stretchwrapping up to 70 loads of product per hour. “On our second can line, we had SMI supply most of the full-can conveyors and all of the full-case conveyors,” Fantin says. “The empty can conveyors were supplied locally by Lagrotta Packaging Group in Cambridge and the infeed laner to the end-loader (1250M) was supplied by Descon Conveyors Solutions in Newmarket.” Stefano Bertocchi, managing director for SMI Group in Canada, happily concurs. “We have a good relationship with Luigi due to our previous installation with another machine,” Bertocchi states. “We’re able to supply Waterloo consistently even with their aggressive time-frames. “We’ve never been late to deliver a machine or an installation.

The wort is then boiled in the kettle, where it also gets dosed with hops. The hop material is then efficiently separated from the wort using a whirlpool motion, leaving the clarified wort to be cooled through the wort cooler. “This cold wort is then oxygenated, dosed with yeast, and sent to a fermenter,” Fantin explains. “Our fermenters are vertical cylindrical conical tanks with efficient glycol cooling control. During fermentation, the sugars in the wort are metabolized by the yeast to make alcohol and CO2.” Upon reaching the end of fermentation (sugar reduction, alcohol creation, diacetyl reduction), the beer is cooled down and the yeast that has settled into the cone of the fermenter can be removed. To prepare beer for packaging, the remaining yeast is removed using a centrifuge. The beer is then filtered through a leaf filter, using diatomaceous earth as a filter media, and silica gel powder for colloidal stability. “The beer filter removes all the powder, along with suspended yeast from the beer,” Fantin says. “The final product alcohol is attained post-filtration— either by adding de-aerated carbonated water or not diluting at all—deCANADIANPACKAGING.COM

pending on the beer. “At this stage this beer is now called ‘bright beer’: it’s cold, carbonated, and ready to be packaged.” For cider brewing, the juice is pasteurized upon receipt and all the required nutrients are added. The juice is then fermented in upgraded fermenters which have a specialized recirculation systems installed, referred to as Ecoferms. These Ecoferms can continuously circulate the cider liquid inside the vessel—creating more efficient and consistent fermentation. The ciders are then are centrifuged and blended with supplemental ingredients before being packaged. Fantin explains: “Our blended RTD beverages are prepared using equipment that runs separately from the brewing equipment. “We receive bulk high-proof alcohol of many different types. The alcohol can be diluted with water from different sources within the brewery to begin the blending process. “We manage many different flavors, colors, sweeteners, and other ingredients to create beverages as per the specific recipes,” Fantin relates. “The blended liquid is cooled and carbonated as the final preparation for packaging. We have specialized equipment that allows us to blend unique beverages, such as non-alcoholic products and tomato-based products,” Fantin continues. “We have a homogenizer for processing tomato-based products and a de-alcoholization unit that uses vacuum pumps to pull alcohol out of beer and other liquids to create a low-alcohol or no-alcohol beverage. “Our tomato-based liquid system includes the ability to add dry spices and liquids like Worcestershire sauce,’ Fantin notes. “As for our de-alcoholization system, we have the ability to do both macro- and micro-dosing

for flavor and body enhancing.” The company also has a kegging unit that is capable of cleaning and filling kegs of various sizes. In operation, an empty keg is loaded upside-down onto the infeed conveyor where it is first emptied of any residual liquid. It is pre-rinsed with water before it is cleaned with caustic, sanitized with acid, sterilized with steam and, ultimately, purged with CO2 before being filled with beer or cider. “All of this is done while the keg is upside-down and engaged with valves at various stages along the conveyor,” Fantin says. “Several kegs run through the stages of the machine in a single-file line. To finish, the keg is turned upside-right before being placed on the outfeed conveyor for palletization.” As Fantin points out, the highly competitive nature of the beverage market requires constant innovation to stay ahead of the pack. “We work together to maintain a pace of innovation that’s never been seen before,” he says. “It’s definitely a tough landscape. “I think the reason we continue to grow is we have lots of flexibility,” Fantin reasons. “We have the craft-brewer roots in our Waterloo portfolio, and then when it comes to all the rest, we can pivot and adapt quite quickly. “We have a team of dedicated, passionate professionals working behind the scenes,” he concludes, “who are committed to creating consistent high-quality products with a mandate to be best-in-class for brewing, blending and packaging capabilities.”

STANDING TALL Upstart craft brewer leverages unique aluminum bottle packaging to stand out in a crowded marketplace By Andrew Snook

he Shawn & Ed Brewing Company in Dundas, Ont., knows just how important it is for its products to stand out on store shelves with a design as unique as the

brewery itself. Founded in 2016 by long-time friends and former schoolmates at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont., the upstart craft brewer operates with 20 full-time employees and additional seasonal workers out of the old Dundas Curling and Skating Rink facility, a historic local building acquired by Shawn Till and Ed Madronich in 2013 and extensively rebuilt and refurbished into a modern beer production facility. Today, half of the 14,000-square-foot building serves as a hospitality and event venue, while the other half is dedicated to brewing delicious beers like the company’s LagerShed brand family—including LagerShed Original, LagerShed Light and LagerShed Dark—and BarrelShed Amber Ale. With hundreds of microbreweries fighting for the same shelf space and thirsty customers across Ontario, having the right packaging is arguably as important as having the best brews. For this reason, the management team at Shawn & Ed Brewing spent a great deal of time researching which products tended to stand out on the shelves at grocery stores and at the LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) outlets. This research was especially important as the small microbrewery plans to expand its geographic reach from the Hamilton area to other densely populated regions in the province, including the GTA (Greater Toronto Area), Niagara Region, the Waterloo-Kitchener-Cambridge triangle, and Ottawa. In the end, the brewery ended up opting for a tall aluminum bottle that, for the most part, remains a very rare sight at the storeshelves. “We were a glass bottle facility, producing CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

six-packs, until we looked at the can movement until we asked ourselves, ‘Do we look at cans?’,” recalls the company’s brewer Rob Creighton. While considering all available options, the company owners were introduced to the unique aluminum bottle—manufactured by Trivium Packaging—offering a highly appealing design and all the traditional functional benefits of cans, but retaining the classy look and drinkability of long-neck glass bottles. “They’re taller than a 473-ml can, and if you look at the hundreds of SKUs [of craft canned beers] out there, they’re all so brightly colored that none of them really stand out,” Creighton says. “It’s a difficult process to stand out on the shelf right now,” he says, “and the aluminum bottle does just that for us. “It just so happens we had a bottling line we were able to retrofit.” Fortunately for the brewery, it is located across the street from Canadian Additive Manufacturing Solutions, a rapid prototyping studio specializing in 3D printing. The company was able to prototype multiple options and parts to adapt for the

use of aluminum bottles in Shawn & Ed Brewing Company’s production process. “We’ve been able to adapt our labeler, rinser and filler all to aluminum, whereas buying the change parts from Italy would have been extremely expensive and you don’t have the ability to go back and forth,” Creighton explains. “With the 3D printing we can adapt to adjust to our package … it has worked out amazingly well.” The thicker aluminum bottle offers additional advantages besides standing out on shelves and being more durable than glass, according to Creighton. “The thicker aluminum allows us to keep the beer colder longer,” he says. “As an outdoor golfing, hiking or camping package, it’s really good for keeping the product colder.” As Creighton relates, the brewery’s single bottling line—featuring 12 rinsing heads, 12 filling heads and a single crowner—is currently limited to production speeds of 50 bottles per minute, or 3,000 bottles per hour. “With the number of fermenters on-site we can produce about 5,000 hectoliters per

year,” says Creighton. “The facility could produce upwards of 11,000 hectoliters through additional expansion.” The labeling, rinsing and filling machinery was all supplied by Italian-based company CIMEC srl, which specializes in the design and construction of bottling and packaging systems for the beverage, food and chemical industries. To make sure the CIMEC bottling line always performs at optimal levels, Shawn & Ed Brewing works closely with Burlington, Ont.-based Jenrey Ltd., a family-run business that specializes in offering a variety of beverage solutions from fermenting to dispensing.

As an approved CIMEC agent, Jenrey provides service and parts replacement for the brewer and, most recently, supplied it with a pasteurizer for the aluminum bottling line. “We’re an agent for CIMEC in North America for sales, installation and parts,” says Jenrey president and co-founder Andres Jensen. “A year before we had reformatted Shawn & Ed’s line and did some service work for them—that’s how it all started. “When we sent out a marketing campaign for our warmers and pasteurizer, it turned out we were in the right place at the right time, as Shawn& Ed were in the market for a pasteurizer,” Jensen recalls.

“The timing was great.” The main challenge that Shawn & Ed Brewing had for the installation of the new line was limited footprint, which Jenrey expertly addressed. “They have a challenge that’s common to most small- to medium-sized brewers, they don’t really have space, and traditionally, tunnel pasteurizers are massive,” Jensen explains. “The smallest ones out there for the throughput they need are six- to eight-feet-wide by 30- to 40feet long,” Jensen says. In contrast, Jenrey’s Tunnel of Love tunnel craft can pasteurizer has a much smaller footprint to accommodate space-challenged craft breweries CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

like Shawn & Ed Brewing. “It was a good fun challenge. It was tight, but we made it work,” Jensen says. “They have a nice, clean, open concept for the consumers as well as the brewmasters,” he adds. “I think it’s a nice marriage.” Designed to eliminate moisture and condensate on cans prior to final packaging, the stainless-steel Tunnel of Love craft can pasteurizer is speed-rated for up to 50-cpm (cans per minute) and is compatible with 12- and 16-ounce cans. Requiring no operator intervention, “It is probably the smallest footprint pasteurizer in the industry,” Jensen says. Jensen says that craft brewers are moving to pasteurized beers in cans rather than glass due to the limited refrigerated retail space that is available, along with other packaging advantages it offers retailers. “You drop a can and it’s going to dent, not shatter glass all over the grocery store floor,” Jensen says. “That’s where things have gone now, especially in Ontario. “Grocery opening up has created a huge opportunity for craft brewers. Most of them have some fridge space, where you’ll see the bigger brands, but all of the local craft beers and imports are displayed on shelves at room temperature,” says Jensen. “Because being non-pasteurized limits shelf-life, it is one of beer’s worst enemies.”

Another advantage of opting for Jenrey’s pasteurizer was the brewery’s proximity for servicing. “We’re a family business: my father and I run the business,” he states. “We can jump on any issue that comes up,” Jensen says. “Rob called once because he was having an issue, so my dad hopped in the car and went down. “We’re only 20 minutes away.” Despite being close by for servicing, Jenrey actively trains employees at the brewery on simple servicing. “We teach their guys on preventive maintenance and all other things breweries can do themselves to keep their equipment in better shape,” Jensen says. Another investment the company recently made for the aluminum bottling line was the purchase of an Anser U2 ProS printer for coding and labeling applications. The Anser unit is very common among craft breweries due its low cost and simple installation. “Many craft brewers have it. It’s a lowcost [investment] at under $2,000,” says Shawnna Turner, sales representative for Sterling Marking Products of London, Ont. “Depending on the application, if the cans are really close together, you might need an external photocell, but that’s it,” Turner states.

“It includes the brackets and the remote; all they need to do is buy the ink cartridges.” The Anser U2 ProS high-res, thermal inkjet printer is a cartridge-based system with minimal maintenance requirements, according to Turner, running at speeds of up to 300 feet per minute (standard) and providing up to 600-dpi resolution. “It’s a printer-in-a-box, with easy installation,” Turner points out. “The instructions show how to mount the brackets and install the cartridges, so off you go,”Turner says, adding the printer dates and locks codes automatically. “It has an automatic best before date. If you tell it’s a 180-day best-before date, it changes automatically,” Turner says, adding that brewers get a significant number of marks out of a cartridge.

Turner says the only drawback of this particular unit is that can’t print on the bottom of the can unless they are inverted. “These are not pump-driven machines, they’re gravity-fed machines, so it totally depends on the client,” saysTurner. “Bigger craft brewers will need a different piece of equipment, which we also provide. We are very application-specific.” For Creighton, the introduction of the sustainable aluminum bottle represents a boost for the recycling industry. “Aluminum is the only package that currently has any real value in the recycling market,” Creighton says. “Aluminum is worth almost $3,600 per tonne right now, and our aluminum bottle has more aluminum in it than cans, making it is easier to recycle. “It is structurally round and not easy to crush, so it’s easier for their equipment to sort it,” he says. “Our four-packs and our 24-packs are made of 100-per-cent recycled cardboard, which also has a value, and the steel caps can be recycled and are easily sorted through with magnets.” In addition to having fully sustainable packaging, all of the brewery’s spent grain goes to farmers for use as feed.” “When the pandemic hit you had bars closed everywhere, and our kegs are in those bars, and we were getting them back half-full of beer,” Creighton says.

“Any residual that typically goes to drain we send to a local farmer, to be fed to his animals,” he explains. “It’s a big sheep operation on the edge of town. “His nutritionist works with us, and he loves it,” he states. Say Creighton: “Sustainability is a mantra here: it’s got to be that way, and you’re going to see a lot of more of it.” According to Creighton, the brewing system at Shawn & Ed Brewing represents the new age of premium craft brewing equipment in today’s market. It is a semi-automated three-vessel, step-infusion brewhouse built by Spadoni Beer Division srl in Italy. Each brew is designed to produce 2,000 liters (20 hectoliters) of wort. Managed by a highly robust Siemens control system, the fermentation is handled in six cylindro-conical stainless-steel fermenters: two with 4,000-liter (40-hectoliter) capacity and four with 8,000-liter (80-hectoliter) capacity. “These temperature-controlled tanks are primarily dedicated to lager fermentation, which represents the largest portion of our business with our Original Lager, Light and Dark brands,” Creighton says. “In addition, a 2,000-liter (20-hectoliter) oak foudre has been added to provide capacity for ales and specialty seasonals that are sold in our hospi-

tality room,” he adds, “It is planned to package some of this seasonal production in labeled aluminum bottles for distribution to bottle shops in the region.” For now, the filtration is handled with a threesquare-meter diatomaceous earth filter, but Creighton says there are plans replace it with a centrifuge when six more 8,000-liter fermenters are added in the near future. According to Creighton, the future for microbreweries in Ontario lies on the retail shelves of grocery stores and in specialty bottle shops. “Last time I checked, there were 65 bottle shops selling beers not available at the LCBO,” he says. “If you’ve got a restaurant license, you can sell beers out the door, so they started selling all sorts of beers out the door—all unique beers. “Our seasonals are put into metal bottles so we can sell to outside retailers, because they’re not available in the distribution system. It really is unique,” he says. “You have to be adaptive and and look for best alternatives,” Creighton concludes. “If quality represents the best choice among all the many alternatives, then your sales effort has to be really focused on where you’re going to do best.”

TECH TIPS

Selecting the optimum soft starter for your specific application

hen starting AC motors, the LRA (Locked Rotor Amperage), also called inrush current, can reach a level of five to nine times the FLA (Full Load Amperage), which is the rated current for the motor. With high-efficiency motors (Efficiency Classes IE2, IE3, and IE4 per IEC 60034-30), the inrush current can be up to fifteen times the motor’s rated current. The high starting current may cause electrical or mechanical problems, including light flickering, torque oscillation, water hammering in pumping applications, or even motor and load vibration. There are several methods of starting AC motor loads. The most basic is the Direct on Line (DOL) method which utilizes comparatively inexpensive mechanical or solid-state devices, such as contactors or Solid State Relays (SSRs), that always apply the full line voltage to the motor. Another popular starting method employs Star-Delta mechanical starters. These temporarily reduce the voltage in motor windings and therefore limit the inrush current. However, when the motor transitions from a star (reduced) voltage to a delta (full) voltage, this may still result in a very high inrush current. A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) can also be used as a motor starter. A VFD is an all-electronic motor controller that can be used to soft start and stop as well as control the speed of the motor. However, it is typically expensive and much more complicated to set up than any other starter. A soft starter is a type of AC motor controller that uses electronic switches, such as Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs) or Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) and the phase-angle principle to provide a slow ramp-up or current limiting during startup, or a slow ramp-down when stopping the motor. Soft starters are often just as easy to install as contactors or SSRs and much easier to implement than a Star-Delta starter or VFD. The configuration of a soft starter is more straightforward than a VFD. It may only involve an adjustment of a few rotary switches. The soft starter may use a voltage ramp algorithm, where the user only has to set the duration of the rampup and the initial torque, or use a current limit algorithm where only the maximum allowable inrush current is needed for setup. Leading manufacturers of soft starters, such as Carlo Gavazzi, offer application specific products that self-adjust and optimize the start/stop process, making the configuration of a soft starter as simple as using a contactor or SSR. There are several different types of soft starters on the market: Single-phase soft starters can be used with most types of singlephase motors, such as Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC), Capacitor Start Induction Run (CSIR), and Capacitor Start Capacitor Run (CSCR) motors. These devices may either use a start capacitor or eliminate the need for one. Applications include pumps, piston compressors, fans, and scroll compressors. Three-phase soft starters are used to control up to 3-phases of an induction motor. 2-pole, 3-phase devices are an economical solution in which only 2 of the 3 phases are being controlled. The benefits of such solutions include smaller size, lower heat dissipation, and a typically lower cost. The drawback, however, is the imbalance caused by the uncontrolled phase. By contrast, 3-pole, 3-phase starters minimize phase imbalance but are larger, have higher heat dissipation, and are generally more expensive. WHAT TYPE OF MOTOR IS USED IN THE APPLICATION? Soft starters are either designed for one or several types of motors. For example, the RSBT series from Carlo Gavazzi is intended to start 3-phase scroll compressors only. Typically such application-oriented devices offer superior performance and may greatly simplify the setup to the point where no adjustments are necessary. However, most soft starters are built with application flexibility in mind, where one product can be used to control several types of motor loads such as pumps, fans, or grinders. Such products are ordinarily more complicated to install and configure.

WHAT IS THE LINE VOLTAGE? Solutions from leading soft starter manufacturers cover all standard low-level AC voltages from single-phase 110VAC to three-phase 690VAC. Simply match the operational voltage of the soft starter with the specified line voltage. WHAT AMPERAGE SIZE IS NEEDED? Single-phase soft starters are typically rated up to 37 Amps, while 3-phase are available to more than 1,000 Amps per pole. However, when selecting the amperage size of the soft starter, it is important to consider other factors and not just the FLA rating of the motor on its nameplate. The kW/Hp rating of the motor, application type, required trip class, ambient temperature, the spacing between units, required ramp-up time, and the overload cycle all affect the size and may even require soft starter oversizing.

WHAT CONTROL SIGNAL AND COMMUNICATION ARE BEING USED? Options to control soft starters include conventional AC or DC signals such as 24 VDC, 24 VAC, 120 VAC, and others, or may not require any control signals as the startup may be initiated by another device upstream. More advanced devices offer communication options, including most Fieldbus and industrial Ethernet protocols. Additional benefits of using soft starters with communication include monitoring of the load and real-time performance measurement, such as the energy consumption of the motor.

ARE OVERLOAD AND SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION NEEDED? If overload protection of a motor is required, customers often have a choice of using a soft starter with a built-in electronic motor overload or an external bi-metallic or electronic overload device. Approval agencies and local electrical code authorities may also require suitable in-line short circuit protection.

IS AN INTERNAL BYPASS ACCEPTABLE? Customers may choose between internally or externally bypassed soft starters, a selection that will affect the size and potentially the endurance of the starter. SCR semiconductors generate heat while conducting current. The concept of bypassing semiconductors means that SCRs are only utilized during the motor’s starting and stopping, but not during the motor’s full voltage operation. This reduces the heat generated and, therefore, the size of the appropriate heat sink. Soft starters can be bypassed either internally with built-in power relays or externally with a fully-rated IEC contactor. Internally bypassed soft starters have a comparatively smaller footprint while externally bypassed soft starters provide a more robust although more expensive solution. TURN TO AN EXPERT FOR HELP Turn to experts who are a great knowledge resource, such as CARLO GAVAZZI as they can provide expert insight and advice on specifying and implementing the ideal solution, which provides maximum benefits. Look for a partner with an international distribution network and experienced personnel who can assist you by email, phone, web conference or in person.

9 drop quality at 7 drop speeds; Designed for even the most demanding applications, meet the new generation in precision ink drop technology The key to the D-Series flexibility is a smaller i-Tech scan head, connected to the laser tube on a multi-position mount. The head can be rotated through 90 degree steps to allow for many mounting positions, and because it is so much smaller, it can easily fit where bigger lasers cannot. Increased power and speed, combined with an optional IP65-rated version, result in the D620i laser, that is equal to the most demanding applications and environments. RapidScan makes our lasers 20% faster for high-speed applications than other scribing lasers. Domino's i-Tech Ribbon Drive offers 4 ribbon save settings including 'Economy Mode' which allows you to use up to 60% less ribbon per print - without affecting print quality. The V230i prints high resolution codes, text and images onto flexible foils, films and labels. Unlike other thermal transfer coders, the V230i uses intelligent Technology to meet all your general purpose coding needs while keeping your costs as low as possible. The i-Tech Ribbon Drive uses up to 60% less ribbon With the largest ribbon rolls in the industry and unique ribbon save features, the V320i also delivers the lowest cost of ownership of all thermal transfer printers.

LESS IS MORE

Meet Victoria. Victoria is a manager at a personal care products manufacturing facility. And it’s her job to be sure the products shipping out of her facility are properly labeled with the correct traceability codes. In the past, these labels were applied by hand and were prone to all kinds of problems: it was slow moving, expensive, and always hard to find and train labor.

But since partnering with Domino, Victoria’s job has been a whole lot easier. Labels are applied directly and accurately to packaging with an automated Domino label print and apply machine. With consistently placed, error-free labels on cases and pallets,Victoria has lowered operating costs and eliminated a lot of headaches.

WHITE PAPER

Benefits Of Reducing Guide Rail Changeover Times By Stephanie Takacs, Marketing Specialist Motion Control Solutions at Regal Rexnord

Cost Of Improper Guide Rail Adjustment

Introduction Conveyors for filling and packaging products are usually designed for one product size, with little room for variation. Changes in demand and container sizes pose challenges for operations teams. As manufacturers introduce new products, they typically want to test-run them on existing lines, since it is expensive and challenging to purchase and set up a new conveyor. More product variation means more line changeovers per shift, day or week. Both the frequency of changeovers and the size of the line can impact how long the conveyor adjustment takes — and how long the line is inactive. COVID-19 has rapidly changed the buying habits of consumers. With more people staying home, the demands for cans, bottles and containers have increased. All of this means that faster changeovers — with proper social distancing practices implemented — are more critical than ever. Companies can benefit from the speed and safety of these changeovers, especially to increase product output and conveyor line efficiency.

SpeedSet™ bracket system

A plant crew needs to be able to quickly and repeatedly adjust their railings for proper product handling. This often requires manually adjusting the guide rails. The maintenance team must loosen the hardware, adjust the rail position, measure for the proper clearance, re-tighten the hardware, and repeat this process with each bracket. The larger the line, the longer it takes. These manual setups rely on the individual to accurately measure the clearance, but this process introduces the risk of human error. It’s not a tired cliché to say time is money. Each minute down for a changeover means lost production revenue and incurring the cost of needed labor. If the guide rails are not adjusted properly, packages or bottles can fall over and break. These damaged containers may result in product loss and compromised sanitation.

Mechanical system

Guide Rail Adjustment Options Some guide rail options include adjustable brackets that utilize a mechanical system, such as a rotating wheel or crank. This setup moves the brackets at the same time. Although this option is repeatable, it can be expensive and difficult to retrofit on an existing line.

Pneumatic system

Pneumatic systems are another option. These systems do not require tools to adjust the rails, and curved and straight sections can be moved simultaneously. However, these options come with significant upfront costs and require highly skilled mechanics in order to maintain them. They are also difficult to retrofit. But Regal Rexnord offers a third solution, one that eliminates the need for tools and allows for repeatable adjustments. The System Plast® SpeedSet™ bracket solution is easy to retrofit on existing lines. The design’s spring cartridge assembly is installed into a bracket which attaches to the conveyor line. These brackets are fitted with spacers to hold multiple guide rail positions. This configuration drastically reduces the time to adjust the guide rails: simply slide in the spacer for quick and consistent adjustments.

Calculating Savings With the use of SpeedSet brackets, Regal Rexnord helped a beverage production facility decrease its changeover time. The production line, which was filling 800 containers per minute, needed to accommodate three different container sizes three times per week. It had been taking two workers nine hours each week to perform the changeovers. As a result of switching to SpeedSet brackets, the plant saw an uptime increase of 10% and a reduction in changeover time per week from 9 to 1.5 hours. Their calculated efficiency improvement enabled increased production, which equated to $1.7M more revenue annually, along with reductions in labor costs and product loss.

Compressed Air in Food & Beverage Packaging Applications Compressed air is a key utility supporting the packaging industry in Canada. Compressed air must be contaminant-free to ensure the protection of the products processed in each facility. There are tens of thousands of facilities using compressed air for blow-off applications; cleaning containers prior to filling; and sorting, cutting, shaping and conveying packaging systems. Many sensitive packaging applications, such as food and beverage, require compressed air free of contaminants. Depending on how compressed air is used in your facility will determine how to specify a safe and efficient compressed air system. The U.K. Code of Practice for Food Grade Air sets the bar on compressed air systems in the food and beverage industry with three identified systems: contact; non-contact high-risk; and non-contact low-risk. System #1: Contact “Contact” is defined as the process where compressed air is used as a part of the production and processing including packaging and transportation of safe food production. In other words, if compressed air comes into direct contact with food products. In this type of “Contact System,” a -40 F (-40 C) pressure dewpoint is recommended, accomplished with desiccant air dryers located in the compressor room. System #2: Non-Contact High-Risk Non-Contact is defined as the process where compressed air is exhausted into the local atmosphere of the food preparation, production, processing, packaging or storage. Within this section there is High-Risk and Low-Risk. A Non-Contact High-Risk situation may be where compressed air is used in a blow-molding process to create a package – and then product is introduced into the package later in 120 CANADIANPACKAGING · January/February 2022

the day. Many food processors and have their own in-house production lines to create their own packaging. Without proper air treatment, it is possible oil, moisture and particulates (bacteria) could be present on the packaging – the packaging waiting for the food product! “Non-Contact High-Risk” compressed air systems should establish the same compressed air purity specifications as “Contact” systems. System #3: Non-Contact Low-Risk In “Non-Contact Low-Risk” systems, a +37 F (+3 C) pressure dewpoint is recommended. This can be accomplished with refrigerated type compressed air dryers located in the compressor room. Defining a Non-Contact Low-Risk system is equally important to define because it is common to see food industry systems “over-protect” their compressed air systems. Most plants have significant portions (over 50%) of their compressed air going to “plant air” applications. These “plant air” applications do not have contact with food products or food-packaging machinery. It is important to understand this relationship and design your system accordingly. We often see desiccant air dryers used to dry all the compressed air in the facility to a -40 F (-40 C) dewpoint – when only 40% of the compressed air needs this dewpoint. Conclusion Compressed air efficiently supports the food and beverage industry if care is taken to remove contaminants from the system. Industry professionals should define how compressed air is used in their facility and define a specification for compressed air purity based upon the three system types defined by the U.K. Code of Practice for FoodGrade Air. As always, consult with your local compressed air expert to find the optimal solution for your production. CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

126 CANADIANPACKAGING · January/February 2022 CPK_Multivac_Partnership_SVA.indd 1

The addition of the LASKA equipment to MULTIVAC Canada’s portfolio extends the reach of the company into the primary processing end of food production lines, especially within the meat industry. Allied to the resources already in place at MULTIVAC Canada, this agreement provides customers with real choice for preparation and processing equipment supply, from single machines through to fully integrated complete processing and packaging lines. MASCHINENFABRIK LASKA is a family-owned business which was established in 1880, initially supplying sausage skins and ingredients to local meat processors. Purchasing a new facility enabled them to also repair food machinery, which subsequently led them to commence manufacturing their own equipment in 1937. With the 5th generation of the family now at the helm, the business leads the world in the manufacture, innovation and quality of this type of food processing equipment. MULTIVAC Canada was established in 2007 to serve the entire Canadian market with its range of packaging, slicing, labelling, inspection and processing equipment, now also including Fritsch dough processing lines and MULTIVAC’s own packaging materials. With large, provincially based sales and service teams covering the country from East to West, it offers customer support unmatched in the Canadian food manufacturing sector and is well placed to add the LASKA range of equipment to its scope of supply.

Kasie Fairbarn Joins Windmoeller & Hoelscher as Product Sales Manager

incoln, RI - Windmoeller & Hoelscher Corporation is pleased to announce Kasie Fairbarn as the new Product Sales Manager for Blown Film, the company’s largest product segment in North America. In this position, Fairbarn will play a key role in all aspects of the company’s blown film extrusion business from concept to commissioning and P&L. “Having worked in the packaging industry my whole career, I was intrigued by the opportunity to join a global leader in blown film technology, which will add to my existing downstream knowledge. I have a profound appreciation for the technology and craftsmanship that goes into manufacturing world-class extrusion lines,” said Fairbarn. Fairbarn comes to W&H from PAXXUS, Inc., a supplier of engineered flexible materials for

the healthcare market, where she was the Global Account and Sustainability Manager. Before that, she was a Senior Packaging Engineer at Unilever responsible for brands such as Pond’s, Suave, Simple, and St. Ives. Fairbarn is currently a member of the Emerging Leadership Council of the Flexible Packaging Association and was recently recognized by Plastics News as one of the Women Breaking the Mold in 2021. “Kasie’s life-long passion for packaging and her experience on the film side give our customers a valuable partner who brings perspective from both sides of the table. She is technical, open-minded, and a team player. We’re very excited to have her at W&H,” said Andrew Wheeler, President of W&H’s North American operations. Fairbarn added, “The trend is

that brand owners want to know exactly how their films are being produced and spec out every detail including the equipment. While this is an adjustment for some suppliers, it’s a welcome opportunity for suppliers who are W&H customers. The goal is to provide thorough and transparent information that helps customers make the best decision and I’m looking forward to making sure we’re asking all the right questions to make that happen.” Fairbarn holds a B.S. in Packaging Engineering from the Rochester Institute of Technology, where she is a Hall of Fame Inductee for her performance on the women’s ice hockey team. She also played professional ice hockey in Norway and Germany.

Clever crossover packaging lifts lockdown fatigue / Shannon Kaupp

With the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic continuing to stretch people’s patience and nerves, there is really no surprise to see that pre-mixed RTD (ready-to-drink) cocktails have surged in popularity. If you can’t go to bar to enjoy your favorite libation, well, how about bringing the bar home? That’s exactly what the On the Rocks range of Premium Cocktails from Beam Suntory aims to do with classy glass packaging for its bottled Margaritas, Cosmopolitans and Mai Tai

treats also promise impressive 24-month shelf-life, a virtual eternity in dog years.

(Clockwise) Squeezable peanut butters in a spouted flexible pouch; On the Rock brand craft cocktails; Rock-it Milk Boxers in a gable-top faux milk carton; a box of Pup Tarts dog treats; Rock-it Bacon Socks crossover packaging at its best; the paperboard canister of President’s Choice brand roast coffee.

cocktails, all topped off with twist-off cork stoppers. Also available in 100-ml airline single-serve glass bottles with metal twistoff bottle caps, the high-end crafted cocktails are made exclusively with branded base spirits in strict accordance with classic authentic recipes to help consumers replicate that rarefied bar lounge experience in their home surroundings, while toasting the better days ahead. Produced by Spunky Pup in Orono, Minn., the Pup Tarts line of dog treats is an inspired example of clever crossover packaging, whereby the whimsical product packaging is intentionally designed to evoke the look of boxed sweet childhood treats many of us remember from our early school days. Made without wheat, corn, soy or sugar, these healthy semimoist, bit-sized tidbits are bagged in clear film to display a small part of the contents through the cutout windows—arranged in the shape of a dog’s paw print—die-cut into 142-gram decorative folding cartons lit up with bright colors. According to the company, the healthy soft treats are great for training your best friend, or just as a reward for being a good boy or girl. Available in five enticing flavors, the Pup Tarts

Montreal-based gifts and novelties distributor Main and Local takes crossover packaging to a whole new level with its Rock-it Milk Boxers and the companion Rock-it Bacon Socks packs—crated to replicate the signature gable-top milk cartons and the lay-flat bacon packs, respectively, down to the last detail. Putting boxer shorts inside an authentic-looking milk carton—complete with a cartoon cow logo on the front panel and a “Missing” underwear poster on the side— and a pair of designer socks into a sliced bacon pack-shaped pouch with a faux resealable closure is a delightfully display of “out of the box” approach to packaging design that is sure to leave the recipients of these thoughtful gifts gratefully amused. Imported by Smuckers Foods Canada, the 375-gram pouch of Jif Squeeze Peanut Butter is nothing less than a revolution in the way consumers go about enjoying their peanut butter. No more messy knives; no more smearing all over your hands: just flip the cap and squeeze as much or as little as you want onto your crackers, toast, fruit veggies, etc. The flat plastic cap snaps open and closes without much effort, but is still snug enough to prevent accidental spills in your purse of gym bag. Moreover, the flat surface of the flip cap facilitates upside down placement of the package on the cupboard shelf—allowing the leftover contents make their way to the bottom of the pouch for easy product dispensing the next time around, with minimal product waste.

he President’s Choice store brand of leading Canadian grocer Loblaws Inc. is making notable strides to decrease the amount of plastic packaging it uses—in part thanks to its highly beneficial partnership and collaboration with Brampton, Ont.based Club Coffee. Made from renewable and recyclable proprietary Boardio packaging developed in Sweden by AR Packaging, the upright 340-gram square-bottomed package clearly stands out on the grocery shelf as the only mainstream brand that does not come in a plastic pouch or a metal tin. Made from plant-based recyclable paper sourced from FSC (Forest Stewardship Council)-certified forestlands, the compact canister projects a serene earthy looks with its muted light-brown colors and lettering, while its captivating Lion King-like illustration of the majestic king of the jungle, resting alongside a cuddling cub, does its best to draw the shoppers’ attention and, even, affection. Featuring an air-tight seal to keep the coffee fresh, along with highly functional and snug-fitting reclosable paperboard lid, the canister’s front panel depicts the authoritative Rainforest Alliance certification logo to validate the product’s sustainable origins and sourcing practices. All in all, this innovative paper canister is a great example of what sustainable packaging can look like with a little imagination and creative application.
