Pulpac and Two Sides Have Created A Partnership to Create and Promote Sustainable Fibre Molded Packaging

An excellent collaboration has recently begun between PulPac and Two Sides, which involves PulPac joining Two Sides as a new member. PulPac is a company well-known for the invention of Dry Molded Fibre and Two Sides is a print and paper advocacy group.

The purpose behind PulPac’s innovative business, is to provide packaging producers with manufacturing technology that is suitable for creating sustainable packaging. The packaging that is produced from their machines, needs to meet scalability requirements, as well as production rates and finally, cost efficiency. Through dedication to the development of this technology over a few years, PulPac achieved a significant breakthrough with the creation of fibre molding.

Now that the company has achieved this breakthrough, their decision to join Two Sides, means that PulPac will now be granted access to a wide variety of co-brandable communications tools, as well as, consumer research, sustainability advice, industry leading information and finally, events. All of these benefits that will occur through the partnership, means that PulPac will be able to grow and expand their market, whilst also growing and expanding the consumer market around fiber molded packaging.

On another note, PulPac’s most recent development, the Dry Molded Fibre Hot Lid, showcases that PulPac’s work is capable of producing a fully sustainable fibre-based commodity item. This item is responsibly produced, it is also entirely free from PFAS or plastic, plus, it is industrially compostable and is also fully biodegradable. All of these features and benefits, result in the item being suitable and compatible with the paper recycling stream.

Market Developer at PulPac, Sara Fransson, commented, “Our groundbreaking technology helps producers within the packaging industry to swiftly transition toward circularity. With our cost-competitive, fiber-based alternative, they can meet the market and planet’s needs for responsibly produced packaging but also gain leverage by spearheading the industry. With a global partner network, we build a community to support the shift and make Dry Molded Fiber the global standard for fiber-based packaging. We’re really pleased to become partners of Two Sides and are confident that it will help us drive sustainability in our industry.”

Siegwerk has Developed Inline Printable Barrier Coatings

Siegwerk recently developed a fully recyclable mono-PE bag which was created through the use of CIRKIT functional coatings and it is suitable for holding dry pet food. Siegwerk is a global leader when it comes to providing inks and coatings for packaging applications and labels.

Through several partnerships with Windmöller & Hölscher who are printing machine manufacturers and also B&B who is a bag making and machine producer, the companies collaboration resulted in the production of the new high-barrier mono-material packaging solution. This product is brilliant as it offers much more than simply effective packaging, as it is also suitable for pet food and it is completely recyclable.

Due to the excellent quality of the material that was chosen for this project, the new mono-PE bag is able to offer the same amount of protection that a plastic, non-recyclable form of packaging would be able to, except it also provides the benefit of being recyclable. The whole product is created out of a combination of an inline printable grease barrier coating from Siegwerk’s CIRKIT GreaseBar, plus a coating from CIRKIT HeatGuard, which is ideal for high-end sealing process efficiency. Both of these coatings from CIRKIT are solvent-based, are deinkable after delamination and can also be printed inline, whilst always maintaining their full performance ability. Furthermore, all of these materials and any dyes that are used for printing, align with the rules and guidelines that have been set out for the packaging industry, this includes guidelines stated by German Minimum Standard and RecyClass.

Whilst a lot of packaging currently needs to be redesigned, pet food containers need to be food safe, whilst they also need specific barrier properties and also need to maintain their shape. Head of Brand Owner Collaboration at Siegwerk, Belal Habib, talks about the requirements for altering packages, “New approaches are needed to meet the upcoming regulatory requirements for circular packaging. The challenge is to find a recyclable design that also meets the respective performance requirements of the packaging.” Habib continues, “The problem: they are not recyclable. This is where innovative barrier coatings applied in thin layers and inline with regular printing inks can help to switch from an incompatible multi-material structure to a fully recyclable mono-material solution in the sense of a Circular Economy.”

Habib added, “This development success once again underlines the importance of collaborating along the packaging value chain, combining the specialized know-how of industry experts. Together, we have succeeded in developing an innovation that is circular, delivers on performance and maintains current process efficiencies due to inline and high-speed conversion. This shows that, by joining forces, we are in a position to make recyclable mono-plastic packaging a reality and thus counter the still wide presence of multi-material laminated structures with future-oriented flexible packaging solutions made for circularity.”

Efficient Processing of Solid Silicone (HCR) on an Electric Allrounder Injection Moulding Machine

• Reliable: Silicone processing with an electric Allrounder 570 A
• Continuous: Material feed via ACH Turnmix in the new M size
• Soft, yet hardwearing: Bottle opener made of solid silicone (HCR)

 Arburg will be presenting its extensive portfolio for elastomer processing at the German Rubber Conference DKT in Nuremberg, Germany. The exhibit at Arburg stand 327 in hall 9 will produce bottle openers made of solid silicone (HCR, high consistency rubber) for demonstration purposes. For this, the electric machine will be equipped with a material feed in the new M size from partner company ACH Solution.

With its presence at the DKT in Nuremberg, the international industry meeting place Arburg has its sights firmly set on manufacturers of elastomer components as well as processors of rubber, HCR and liquid silicone (LSR). It sees great potential in fields such as the automation of silicone processing and multi-component technology, as well as e-mobility, fuel cells and medical technology.

Energy and production efficiency on an Allrounder 570 A

The energy- and production-efficient injection moulding of solid silicone (HCR) will be demonstrated by an electric Allrounder 570 A with a clamping force of 2,000 kN and a size 400 injection unit. The material processed will be Elastosil R plus 4001/70 from Wacker Chemie. Dosing system ACH Turnmix, now available in M and L versions along with the proven S size, provides constant and bubble-free feed at continuous pressure. This enables this production of silicone parts ranging from small to large shot volumes. The exhibit will be equipped with the new M size, which is particularly suitable for medium-sized injection units and HCR with a wide range of Shore hardnesses. The cavities of the 4-cavity mould will be injected directly via a cold runner system. This prevents burr formation and avoids the need for finishing work on the injection moulded parts. Four bottle openers at a time will be produced in a cycle time of around 60 seconds. As part of the silicone equipment package, the injection unit features a special screw geometry, cylinder temperature control and nozzle technology. The equipment, which is precisely adapted to the processing of solid silicones, transforms the Allrounder in conjunction with the ACH Turnmis into a compact and cost-effective injection moulding solution.

Cannon Viking Introduces the Laydown Master to Complete its Offering for PU  Slabstock Foam Producers Using Solid Fillers

Cannon Viking, a company of the Cannon Group and a market leader in technologies, processing and molds for  polyurethanes and urethane elastomers, introduces the new LayDown Master at UTECH Europe to complete its  offering for PU slabstock foam producers using Liquid Laydown technology.

Based on the experience gained over many years, Cannon Viking’s LayDown Master is a distribution device which  has been inspired by the CarDio gatebar. It is aimed at slabstock producers using a conventional Liquid Laydown  or Maxfoam Trough machines. The LayDown Master has been specifically developed and made available as a kit for  evenly distributing the liquid PU across the width of the foaming conveyor before reaction, requiring less  modifications to the existing hardware and suitable to be (retro)fitted to virtually all existing foam production lines.

“The advantages of the LayDown Master are numerous,” says Richard Doublet-Stewart, Regional Sales Manager at  Cannon Viking. “The technology avoids the use of a traversing mixing head, whilst providing uniform foam laydown  across the whole width of the conveyor, delivering a more regular cell structure across the block. The LayDown  Master is especially suitable for highly reactive foam grades, such as MDI, Viscos and HR foams. It produces optimum  quality foams due to liquid laydown by avoiding pinholes and build-up, typically seen with Maxfoam trough  technology.”

As the Laydown Master is available as a kit, it requires a short installation time on existing production lines, ensuring  only a minimal impact on the production and machinery. It is suitable for low-pressure, partial high-pressure and  high-pressure technologies, and allows for a quick change of grade and colour, shortening the transition phase  between foam grades, reducing the amount of scrap foam and thus saving valuable raw materials.

The LayDown Master features a slot that is wide enough to allow for the use of very viscous formulations and solid  fillers, which are key to ensure consistent quality for the foam standards. The slot can be easily adjusted between  different foam grades by inserting spacers, reducing downtime to the absolute minimum.

Cannon Viking offers several technologies aimed at foam producers with continuous and discontinuous block  foaming methods. Under the CarDio brand this includes complete production lines as well as conversion kits for  existing lines for using liquid CO2 expansion technology, while the new LayDown Master is aimed at new and existing  lines with Liquid Laydown technology. Together with its foam block size and profile control technologies, Cannon  Viking now has a full range of equipment available to cover all possible PU slabstock foam market needs.

PET Wine Bottle Made by ALPLA Cuts Carbon Emissions by Up to 50 Per Cent

Launch of a 0.75-litre bottle in Austria with white wine from Wegenstein

 Safe, affordable, and sustainable: the plastic packaging specialist ALPLA is launching a recyclable wine bottle made of PET. The bottle weighs approximately only an eighth of a glass bottle, reduces the carbon footprint by up to 50 per cent and allows for price savings of up to 30 per cent. It can be made entirely of recycled PET (rPET). The packaging solution is available now in 0.75-litre and 1-litre bottle sizes and is already being used in Austria by the pilot customer and development partner Wegenstein.

The global packaging specialist ALPLA has added a PET wine bottle to its product range. The 0.75-litre bottle weighs just 50 grams – around eight times less than the alternative made of glass. The

first white wine bottles belonging to the Wegenstein winery recently went into circulation in the Austrian wine market, making them part of the Europe-wide bottle-to-bottle loop. The sustainable solution reduces carbon consumption by 38 per cent compared to the glass alternative – and that’s even without rPET content. The PET bottle is now also available in a 1-litre version. ALPLA plans to already be manufacturing several million units a year from 2025 and is planning solutions made entirely of rPET.

‘PET is light, unbreakable and recyclable, and can be moulded with little energy needed, making the plastic the ideal packaging solution. With it, winemakers can improve their environmental footprint and lower their costs,’ emphasises Daniel Lehner, Global Sales Director Food & Beverage at ALPLA. The plastic packaging meets all the quality requirements, is available as a transparent or a green bottle and is suitable for all types of wine.

Sustainable, inexpensive and compatible
The lower material consumption and energy-saving manufacturing reduce carbon consumption. The use of rPET further increases the reduction. Even with 30 per cent rPET, 43 per cent is saved, while the ecological footprint of the solution made of 100 per cent rPET is even halved at minus 50 per cent. The high-quality recycled material is provided by ALPLA from its own ALPLArecycling recycling plants. The low weight of the packaging also has positive effects on shipment. And there is a cost advantage too. ALPLA’s PET wine bottles are up to 30 per cent less expensive than glass bottles, depending on the requirements.

The sustainable packaging solution works with conventional metal screw caps and is compatible with winemakers’ bottling lines, meaning it is flexible. Wegenstein fills the PET bottles on the same bottling lines as its glass bottles. ‘The bottle has been perfectly tailored to the bottling and shipment processes. The close cooperation with the Wegenstein team significantly sped up the market launch,’ reports Sebastian Rosenberger, project manager at ALPLA. ‘The PET bottle lives up to what it promises. It is visually appealing, ensures our quality and is practical. We are making an innovative offer to consumers who care about our environment and our climate,’ explains Herbert Toifl, managing director of the Wegenstein winery.

NORMA Group Achieves Solid Results and Improved Profitability in the First Quarter of 2024

• Adjusted operating result (EBIT) increased by 13.9 percent to 25.7 million euros
• Adjusted EBIT margin increased by 1.1 percentage points to 8.3 percent
• Sales in Q1 2024 fell slightly by 2.0 percent compared to the same quarter of the previous year to 308.5 million euros
• Step Up improvement program has a positive effect

NORMA Group started the 2024 financial year with improved profitability. The company was more profitable compared to both the previous quarter and the same period last year.

Group sales fell slightly by 2.0 percent to 308.5 million euros compared to the same quarter of the previous year . Organically, sales fell by 1.0 percent in the first three months of 2024. Negative currency effects reduced sales by an additional 1.1 percent compared to the previous year. The recently acquired water management company Teco made a positive contribution to sales growth of 0.1 percent.

Adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (adjusted EBIT) rose significantly by 13.9 percent in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same quarter of the previous year to 25.7 million euros . The adjusted EBIT margin was 8.3 percent and also improved significantly. More efficient production and declining inflation in material costs had a positive impact on the margin. However, higher personnel costs as a result of inflation-related wage increases and the reduction of production backlogs as well as higher interest rates were challenging. The operating net cash flow was -2.3 million euros in the period January to March 2024, significantly above the value of the comparable quarter of 2023 .

CEO Guido Grandi: “We started the year successfully and have significantly improved our profitability. Our robust business model with three business areas offers us attractive opportunities even in a mixed economic environment. With the Step Up program launched a year ago, we have set the right course and become more efficient, especially in Europe. We will continue to build on this to ensure sustainable, profitable growth for NORMA Group.”

Heterogeneous development in the business units

In the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa), sales fell slightly by 1.2 percent to 136.5 million euros in the first quarter of 2024 . The three customer industries developed differently. Sales in Industrial Applications fell due to the subdued economic situation in Europe. The business with water management solutions, however, grew significantly in the region. Among other things, the acquisition of the Italian water specialist Teco, completed in February 2024, ensured positive momentum. In the area of ​​connection technology for vehicles (Mobility & New Energy), sales remained stable at the same level as in the same period last year. Profitability in the EMEA region continued to improve in the first quarter of 2024: Despite the slight decline in sales, adjusted EBIT rose to 10.6 million euros . The adjusted EBIT margin was 7.4 percent, significantly higher than the same quarter of the previous year . The higher profitability is based on the one hand on lower costs for energy and materials and on the other hand on internal improvement measures in production and logistics.

In the Americas region, sales revenue fell slightly by 1.6 percent to 135.4 million euros in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period last year. The main reason for the decline is negative currency effects in connection with the US dollar (-1.1 percent). In the Industry Applications area, postponements in investment decisions due to an expected, but still pending, interest rate cut depressed demand. Business in the water management area, on the other hand, grew noticeably in the period January to March 2024. In the Mobility & New Energy division, the business volume was below the previous year’s figure. Adjusted EBIT in the Americas region was 15.2 million euros in the first quarter of 2024, slightly below the comparable value . The adjusted EBIT margin, however, showed a slightly positive development at 11.1 percent.

In the Asia-Pacific region, sales in the first quarter amounted to 36.6 million euros (Q1 2023: 39.1 million euros). Organic sales fell by 1.5 percent; Negative currency effects reduced sales growth by an additional 4.9 percent. In the Industry Applications area, the continued hesitant economic recovery in China in general and the tense situation in the construction sector in particular led to reduced demand. In Water Management, sales were also below the figure for the same quarter of the previous year. Business was stable in the Mobility & New Energy sector, which in the region is primarily driven by the Chinese automotive industry. Despite lower sales, the adjusted EBIT in the Asia-Pacific region was 2.7 million euros in the first quarter of 2024 (Q1 2023: 2.6 million euros). The adjusted EBIT margin improved to 6.9 percent (Q1 2023: 6.3 percent).

Efficiency measures are having an impact

NORMA Group launched the global growth and efficiency program Step Up in spring 2023. So far, over 1,300 individual measures have been identified, more than half of which are currently being implemented or have already been completed. The measures are divided into growth plans for the three strategic business units Industry Applications, Water Management and Mobility & New Energy and measures to increase operational efficiency. NORMA Group will identify and implement further measures in the coming years.

Annual General Meeting in attendance

The NORMA Group’s general meeting will take place on May 16, 2024 as a face-to-face event in Frankfurt am Main. Among other things, the re-election of Supervisory Board Chairman Mark Wilhelms is on the agenda. Mark Wilhelms has been a member of the committee since 2018 and has been chairman since May 2023.

High-Precision Checkweighing for Renowned Paint and Render Manufacturer Thanks to Innovative Special Solution From Minebea Intec

The challenges of filling paints and liquid renders mainly relate to the large weighing range of the containers to be weighed. The customer’s variations for this Best Practice range from 1–50 kg net per container. Minebea Intec supplied a highly flexible weighing solution for the legal checkweighing.

Project goal and implementation

The project had a clear goal, namely to provide a highly efficient weighing solution that also covers an exceptionally large weighing range. The manufacturer’s weighing process was further complicated by the different properties of the render and paint products, for example the flow rate. As a result, the individual products had to be assigned to certain filling plants and it was not possible simply to group the production lines according to filling amount. A flexible weighing solution.

The  special  solution  created by Minebea Intec consists of a weighing platform IS (ISEDE- 50-OAW), which is defined as a multi-interval scale with a duel range capability, up to 20kg has a resolution of 2g and to 50kg a “We have great confidence in the technologies from Minebea Intec, which have been built up over decades. The weighing solution makes our process more efficient day after day.”

Customer’s production manager

then has equipped two further plants with the system. The weights and measures authorities tasked with confirming conformity carried out the necessary measurements within the tolerance.

The manufacturer is very happy with the results from the first year. The earlier concerns that this high- resolution  weighing  platform  IS resolution of 5g readability. This resolution meets the requirement of the German Verpackungsverordnung [Packaging regulation] and it is the only solution on the market with this special weighing range. The connected weight controller Maxxis 5, is a freely programmable terminal and with an “Automatic Checkweigher” project application, carries out the control tasks and communicates with the higher-level control unit directly via digital signals or via the ProfiNet field bus. The data for inspection is transmitted via OPC to the weight controller Maxxis and forwarded to the SPC Enterprise for logging.

Manufacturer is very happy with the precision and speed. This combination of weight controller Maxxis 5 and weighing platform IS was granted PTB [German National Metrology Institute] approval as a checkweigher. During this process, the plant runs in start-stop mode, i.e. the Minebea Intec systems stop the belt and weigh at a standstill. The producer completed then has equipped two further plants with the system. The weights and measures authorities tasked with confirming conformity carried out the necessary measurements within the tolerance.

The manufacturer is very happy with the results from the first year. The earlier concerns that this high- resolution  weighing  platform  IS would not withstand the mechanical strain or that the start-stop operation would slow down the plant have been dispelled. The performance remains very precise and in these applications the stopping took less time than the filling itself – 1 to 5 seconds depending on the container. This means that Minebea Intec has proven once again that no individual challenges are too much for the company’s weighing and inspection technologies.
