audit of our commercial and technical position in

the market for seamers, a market segment where

we used to be world leaders.”

Turning things aroundThis market research provided a lot of information

about the position of PneumaticScaleAngelus in

the market for seamers. The outcome was not

positive.

“The conclusion was that we were consider-

ably behind our strongest competitor and that we

had to act quickly,” notes Lauwers. “In order to

respond to the actual demands in our market we

started to talk intensively with some of our leading

customers. We involved some big food and bev-

erage can fillers, some of the major can makers,

along with the most important suppliers of filling

equipment. All these partners were eager to work

with us in the development of our new generation

of seamers and they gave us practical and valu-

able advice.”

The company’s guiding principles in the devel-

opment of new seamers are: safety, reliability,

hygiene, flexibility and sustainability.

“From a technical viewpoint we incorporated

the latest novelties into the new machines. One

of the most important focuses in our new seamer

development is to reach high line efficiencies,”

Lauwers states.

“Not all filling lines in customer plants are dedi-

cated to one single can size and now and then

lines have to be changed to other can sizes. To

change somewhat older can seamers to another

can size can take hours. What we have done is

construct all the parts that have to be changed

on one plate.

Now it is only a question of taking the plate in

the seamer out and putting the plate for the other

can size in. We made the new seamer as modular

as possible to enable a quick changeover. You

can now change the new 8M seamer, a high-

speed seamer for beverage cans, in less than two

hours to another can size. This is a completely new

feature in can seamers and none of our competi-

tors are offering this. Another feature which

we focused on in our new seamers is con-

siderable noise reduction.”

Future developmentsPneumaticScaleAngelus wanted to have

new can seamers in its product lines that

are able to cope with any future develop-

ments.

“With some of the leading can makers

we will make an agreement to develop

together seamers for future lightweight food

and beverage cans and ends. This means

that we must be able to seam ever more

downgauged cans and ends made from

thinner but also harder metals,” adds Lauwers.

“This puts heavy demands on seamers, among

others as a consequence of higher temperatures

in the seamers by increased friction heat. After a

lot of brainstorming we found an important solu-

tion to tackle this problem. By applying a clever oil

cooling system we succeeded in keeping essen-

tial parts of the seamers at constant temperatures

between 80 and 90ºC. Previously the tempera-

tures sometimes went up to more than 135ºC in

unfavourable conditions.”

This means that the formation of a thick film of

sugar from soft drinks or gravy used in pet foods on

the seamers is generally avoided.

“With this oil cooling advantage we believe

that we will help our customers with their sus-

tainability programs. They will need less water

and detergents. Less oil changes will be another

advantage. Lower temperatures of the seaming

rolls will avoid high-end compound temperature

and less compound squeezing. Altogether this is a

really big step forward.”

The 12 M seamer with 12 spindles is capable of

seaming 1,800 cans per minute.

“We are beyond the phase of prototypes with

our new seamers. Some of these new machines

are running successfully in the US. The first machines

are being sold in Europe and will start to run in the

middle of 2011.

“I think we can say with confidence that we are

in a much better market position with our seamers

than some years ago and customers will profit

from that,” concludes Lauwers. ❑

Properly managing can handling and conveying is

becoming increasingly important to the manufac-

turing process.

Nick Bottinelli, Latin America sales manager at Ashworth

Bros, believes great strides have been made in this area.

“Can handling not only impacts spoilage rates but can

quality as well,” he comments. “Some methods of convey-

ance are extremely efficient but cause many quality prob-

lems. For example, the mass air tables that became popu-

lar in the early 1990s were extremely efficient at eliminating

gaps in the line. However, the high-speed collisions caused

many dings which the fillers no longer accept. Likewise,

working with the can makers and the original equipment

manufacturers (OEMs) on washer and oven conveyance

has improved spoilage rates and can quality.

“Keeping cans stable during the process and at trans-

fers reduces spoilage. Also, developing hold-down mat

materials and hanging systems has reduced can damage.

Undertstanding and mitigating galvanic interactions in the

washer, especially with trim and sleek cans, has helped

reduce the amount of split flanges.”

Belts for cansAshworth continues to lead the market with the most con-

veyor belt patents in the food processing, can making and

material handling industries.

The company has been supplying conveyor belting to a

number of can makers around the world for decades. The

belts are primarily used in two-piece can plants.

“We are the world’s leading supplier of conveyor belt-

ing and hold-down mats for can washers,” adds Bottinelli.

“We also recently released ToughMat, a new family of PTFE

coated fibreglass and Kevlar mats for IBO/OBO and dry-off

ovens to meet our customers’ demands.”

For mass conveyance modular plastic mats are com-

monly used. Ashwoth focuses on conveyance through the

actual can making equipment such as can washers and

IBO/OBO and dry-off ovens.

The company offers a variety of different mats depend-

ing on a customer’s requirements.

“People choose Ashworth because our belts have

shown to provide longer life. As with anything, there are

many variables affecting product life such as application,

belt speed, washer chemistry formulation etc. But we’ve

had several customers comment on the longevity of our

belts and this is why customers continually use Ashworth

belts.

Spiralling under controlSo what is the next step forward for conveyance within the

metal packaging sector?

Bottinelli believes the future lies in spiral belts. “In certain

countries, spiral elevators and accumulators have been

successfully used for more than 10 years, but these spirals

were engineered and designed by spiral experts,” he

explains. “In other countries, where spirals have not taken

off and gained a bad reputation we have found it was

because the spirals were not designed properly and were

never able to work right. Ashworth invented the concept

of spirals in 1967 and successfully changed the way food is

frozen and bakery products are cooled.

“We feel there is a significant market opportunity for

spirals in the can making industry as it can eliminate

accumulation tables that take up valuable floor space.

Additionally, energy efficient spiral elevators can replace

vacuum elevators, thus reducing energy usage, plant

noise and the use of de-misters. We are working with sev-

eral companies to expand the use of spirals in the can

making industry.”

The company’s conveyor belts can be seen operating

at a wide variety of speeds.

“In can washers and ovens, the speed is usually slower

due to the process requirements,” notes Bottinelli. “Fifteen

to 20 feet per minute is most common, although a few

smaller washers have been ramped up to approxiamately

45 feet/min.

“Ashworth isn’t after every single belt and mat in a can

plant. The company focuses exclusively on the process

belts/mats, including spirals. The engineering required to

shepherd a package through a washing or IC curing proc-

ess is totally unique and much more complex than simply

conveying a product from one machine to the next. This is

where Ashworth excels.”

Techno ItalyTechno Italy is a provider of automatic machines for

the can making industry. Impress, Crown, Massilly

Group, Vogel & Noot, Royal Can, Swan Industries,

ORG, Lolo and CPMC are just some of the can mak-

ers who have called upon the Italian company’s

services.

“We have different customers depending on

the kind of project that we are handling. For end

transportation and packaging in the can making

industry, we have many can makers in Europe and

Asia,” says president Giacomo Borra.

The company provides a range of equipment

for the industry including electrocoaters for end

post repair, plastic wrapping machines for ends,

minibuffers for balancing end presses and unwrap-

pers for plastic wrapped ends.

“In several cases we have been asked to pro-

duce palletisers/depalletisers that other companies

would not have made, because the demanded

performances were out of their standard range,”

notes Borra.

Carrying cansTechno Italy’s conveyor belts are used to carry both

two and three-piece cans.

“In many applications the use of mesh belt con-

veyors (belts), which are popular in two-piece can

applications, has found convenient application in

some sections of three-piece can making lines as

well as in filling plants,” Borra says. “The shelf life of

the mesh belt conveyors that come into contact

with three-piece cans is much lower due to a

heavier load and, in particular, to the presence of

many steel particles that form an abrasive paste

along sliding tracks.”

The lasting period of belts generally depends on

the kind of application and maintenance/cleaning

procedures.

“For end transport we have rarely been informed

about worn or damaged belts. In heavier applica-

tions, like skeleton evacuation or can body eleva-

tors, six to 12 months is generally a good perform-

ance for a belt,” he adds.

Borra believes that more attention should be paid

to this part of the can making process. “All custom-

ers should pay the highest attention to conveyance

because a wrong design can dramatically affect

the line efficiency and performance in general.

When you think about an assembly chain, the key

point is the smooth flow of the product through its

operative stations.

“The majority of our products go to can mak-

ing plants, more often in the end making depart-

ment. Can makers should pay more attention to

the primary importance that a good transporta-

tion project has on their plant. Conveyors for

automation are exactly what the Internet is for

communication. Nothing better, nothing faster,” he

concludes. ❑

The latest statistics from BCME (Beverage Can Makers Europe) show that despite tougheconomic conditions last year, there was strong growth in the beverage can market in Europe

News Focus

In 2010, the European beverage can market hit 54.1 bil-

lion cans, up 5.2 per cent from 2009. The UK market fared

particuarly well and reached an important milestone in

2010, passing the nine billion can mark, up seven per cent

on 2009.

The UK soft drinks market increased by 12.3 per cent on

2009 and the dynamism of the sector is shown by the fact

that shipments have increased by one billion in two years.

In 2010, soft drinks represented over 50 per cent of all drinks

can shipments for the first time since 2002.

Within the overall soft drinks market, carbonated soft

drinks (CSDs) outperformed other soft drinks in 2010 with

fruit carbonates up nine per cent and cola up eight per

cent. From a small base, energy drinks and sports drinks

showed the biggest growth with increases of 18 and 10 per

cent respectively.

Growth in the soft drinks category was shown across

Europe, with figures up 7.5 per cent year on year, with 26.4

billion cans shipped. Beer market growth was 3.2 per cent

or a total of 27.7 billion cans shipped. The main regional

drivers for soft drinks growth were Austria, UK, Scandinavia,

Germany and Turkey, whilst Scandinavia, France and

Germany pushed beer market growth. New filling lines in

France and Scandinavia also contributed to the strong

growth figures, whilst the energy drinks market continues to

expand rapidly across Europe.

Commenting on the new statistics, BCME marketing

committee chairman Caroline Archer, said: “2010 was a

difficult year for many with decreased consumer spending

and heightened economic tension. However, the bever-

age can market was one of the success stories. Major

brands continue to push the can as a key part of their

pack mix and the use of slim and sleek cans has increased

markedly. As predicted, the World Cup had a strong posi-

tive influence on beverage can consumption, particularly

for beer cans as they are convenient for consumers when

socialising at home with friends.”

Focusing on the UKAlcohol in cans in the UK is primarily beer and

cider, with a small but growing wine sector.

In 2010 the volume of cans shipped

increased to 4.5 billion, up 91 million over

2009.

At-home drinking has helped drive this

growth as the long-term trend favouring take

home beer over consumption in pubs has

increased during the recession. Cider, with its

strong appeal to young people, has been the

best performing sector of the market with the

volume of cider sold in cans up nine per cent

year on year.

Cans had a 67 per cent pack share for

beer and cider in 2010 and in the four weeks

leading up to the Christmas period they took

market share from glass bottles. Multipacks

continue to be the main sales tool, with 12’s

the fastest growing pack size and 4’s and 15’s

the most popular.

Domestic consumption also drove growth in Germany,

with consumption growing by around 300 million cans, a 46

per cent increase on 2009. This has, in no small part, been

driven by the re-listing of cans in two major supermarket

chains, highlighting widespread consumer acceptance of

the beverage can.

“Beverage cans offer fillers, retailers and consumers

benefits such as convenience, supply chain efficiency and

outstanding product integrity. Cans are uniquely sustain-

able, being made from metals that are permanent mate-

rials so they are 100 per cent recyclable and the metal

can be recycled indefinitely to create new products.

Using recycled aluminium to make new products saves

95 per cent of the energy associated with the produc-

tion of virgin metal and for steel the equivalent figure is 75

per cent. It is important to note that the beverage can is

the most recycled drinks pack in the world,” adds Archer.

“Through infrastructure improvements and initiatives to

improve consumer recycling behaviour, BCME is com-

mitted to supporting further increases in recycling rates

throughout Europe.” ❑

Why measure colour?To the world’s leading beverage makers, the

precise, trademarked colours and patterns on

their containers are their brand’s identity. Such are the

consistent graphics that consumers recognise and reach

for them. Moreover, today’s cans are decorated with

increasingly vibrant colours and dazzling patterns to com-

pete for the eye at retail.

Heightened standardsAs can makers are aware, colour and graphics variations

violate brand identity standards. At store level, anomalous-

looking containers critically impact shoppers’ purchasing

decisions and brand perception. Accordingly, top-brand

beverage makers are tending to require 100 per cent

colour consistency, with the rest of the industry likely to

follow.

Containers rejected and/or held for inspection (HFI) due

to colour nonconformity and decoration defects are a

significant cost concern for can makers. Highly complex

graphics and exacting requirements now heighten the

risks.

Global considerationsAchieving absolute colour conformity across billions of

cans is a difficult prospect. Manufacturing them in multiple

global locations adds to the challenge. Although can dec-

oration technology has never been more sophisticated

and precise, a host of conditions can adversely affect the

process at any time, in any plant location in the world.

To ensure 100 per cent colour consistency on beverage

cans, precise colour measurement must be achieved by a

method that is reliable and easy to implement in manufac-

turing operations. This paper examines the methods devised

and used over recent decades to ensure colour conform-

ity, culminating in colorimetric technology, its nature,

advantages and limitations, and current

availability to can manufacturers. As

marketers compete for the consumer’s

attention, can colours and decorations

are becoming increasingly vivid

and intricate.

Methods of colour measurementEnsuring colour consistency requires a precise tool for

measuring colour.

In the case of beverage cans (including today’s alumini-

um bottles), that tool must measure colour on highly reflec-

tive, cylindrical-shaped surfaces, reliably and accurately.

Ideally, that tool should also be able to register patterns,

interpret process colours and, based on a holistic view of

the container, make simultaneous measurements in multi-

ple regions of interest. In real-world applications the tool

would also need to perform its functions on cans moving

at line speed and randomly oriented.

After exploring and implementing colorimetric (col-

our measurement) inspection for 30 years, researchers

at Applied Vision Corporation are keenly aware of the

capacity and limitations of the human eye, and expert

in spectrophotometry and

machine vision for con-

tainer decoration colour

measurement.

The human eyeSince their implementation decades ago, human inspec-

tors have continually proven unsuccessful at ensuring

decoration consistency and colour accuracy in beverage

can making operations. The reasons range from physiologi-

cal to practical.

Though capable of remarkable feats of colour percep-

tion, the human eye is a poor instrument for measuring

colour. The typical human eye responds to wavelengths

from about 390 to 750 nm and can distinguish unsaturated

or “process” colours created by mixes of multiple wave-

lengths, such as pinks and purples.

Colour perception differs substantially from individual to

individual. The intensity, colour and spatial distribution of

illumination govern how colour is perceived.

Shape and shading are particularly influential, as dem-

onstrated in the sets of colour perception tests (pictured

below). Moreover, production lines present cans for inspec-

tion at rates ranging from hundreds to thousands per

minute, and in random orientation.

Not surprisingly, human inspectors – even those specially

trained or said to have “calibrated vision” – have been

replaced with automatic inspection systems by quality can

makers worldwide. Yet while some of these systems offer

reliable decoration inspection and mixed-label detection,

until recently they have not been able to provide accurate

colour measurement.

Colour Perception Tests

SpectrophotometryLight-measuring instruments, specifically spectrophoto

meter-based devices, have been used to measure colour

for many years. A typical spectrophotometer features a

small (3mm to 5mm) aperture that allows it to measure

colour over a tiny area of an object. As the illustrations

show, when the light from the area reflects into the device,

a diffractive surface breaks it down into its primary colours.

A spectrophotometer can then provide very accurate

measurements of those colours. That accuracy is the key

advantage of these devices, along with their relatively

low cost.

By design however, these devices have practical draw-

backs for can making applications. Because they only

assess one tiny area at a time, they are not suited to

inspect complex colourful patterns. Nor are they designed

to measure process colours or halftones. In short, they do

not perceive colour like the human eye, which, at point of

sale, is the ultimate judge of container colour and pattern

quality.

Delta-E valuesDelta-E (dE) is a unit used to quantify the distance (dif-

ference) between a reference colour and a similarly

coloured sample, based on coordinates in the so-called

Lab colour space. The printing, paint and ink industries, for

example, have traditionally relied on this metric, employing

spectrophotometers to obtain the measurements.

The Lab colour model is intended to approximate

human vision, in the sense that it is perceptually uniform:

the perceived difference between two colours separated

by one unit of distance (dE = 1) is independent of the

region of colour space (red, green, etc) in which the col-

ours are located. A dE of one or less represents a barely

perceptible difference.

The adjoining figure illustrates the concept of percep-

tual uniformity and non-uniformity. All colours that can be

Colour Perception Test 2 (Created by Edward H. Adelson, Professor of Vision Science at MIT)The illusion that B is lighter than A is caused by the relative contrast of the surrounding dark squares and by the fact our vision compensates for the shadow of the cylinder.

uniform). Colours falling on the boundary of each ellipse

are 10 dE units from the ellipse centre.

Note how the sizes of the ellipses increase dramatically

as one “moves” from blue to green. Yet the perceptual

“span” of the colours within each ellipse will appear about

the same to a typical observer. In the corresponding dia-

gram for Lab colour space, each ellipse would be a circle

and all the circles would be the same size, with a radius

of 10 dE.

Thus, human colour perception acuity varies depending

on the colour, and the dE metric attempts to compensate

for this.

Camera-basedCamera-based technology bridges the most useful capa-

bilities of man and machine for the purpose of practical,

accurate colour measurement. Spectrophotometers do

not function the same way as the human eye, but cam-

eras, by design, see and classify colour the way we do.

Their matrix of RGB (red, green, blue) sensors operates with

sensitivity to light levels and colour like the photoreceptors

(cones) in the eye, and the range of colours perceived by

a camera – its “gamut” – is similar to the gamut of human

vision.

Today’s digital cameras are reliable and affordable.

With the advent of bright and long-lived white LED illumina-

tors, gigahertz-class computers and “intelligent” algorithms

for pattern recognition, camera-based colour inspection

systems have, over the last decade, matured. They rival

humans in qualitative assessment of complex colourful

patterns, and greatly exceed human capability in quan-

titative colour measurement, speed and dependability.

To meet the demand for 100 per cent colour consistency,

practical inspection tools for can makers now exist.

Colorimetric technologyCamera-based colorimetric technology has been a focus

of machine vision’s leading developers since 1979. This

work converged and continued with the establishment of

Applied Vision Corporation in the 1990s.

In pursuit of accurate colour measurement, funda-


mental challenges – such as providing highly stable illu-

mination and automatic self-calibration – have been

resolved. Based on advances in solid-state lighting, digital

cameras, computer processors and pattern-recognition

algorithms, the KromaKing line of camera-based systems

provides accurate, multiple-region colour measurement

and inspection.

To measure and inspect complex can decoration in a

real-world setting requires application-specific software,

simple and intuitive user interfaces, and robust algorithms.

In some cases, dedicated part-handling mechanisms are

essential, such as indexing star wheels capable of spinning

a can while it is imaged with a line-scan camera, which

generates an “unwrapped” (complete outside) view of

the container surface.

To summarise the concepts simply and meaningfully,

Applied Vision calls this Global Colorimetric Standard

(GCS) technology. GCS technology provides consistent

results worldwide, in a range of system designs for varying

inspection needs.

KromaKing tools for can makersFor years, can makers worldwide have benefited from

colour decoration inspection and mixed-label detection

provided by intuitive, camera-based KromaKing systems.

Applied Vision has invested tens of thousands of hours of

research and development in making colour measure-

ment and decoration inspection reliable and easy for can

makers. The goal is to minimise rejected and HFI product,

for increased operational productivity and profitability.

Currently, a suite of KromaKing colorimetric tools is

available to address various sizes and stages of two and

three-piece can manufacturing operations. Each system

measures multiple regions of colour in complex patterns

for flaws, including colour shifts, pattern defects and print

registration errors. ❑

New Equipment

New roller from AniloxAnilox Metering Technology has announced the launch of the new and improved Generation 3 Anilox Roller.

The Generation 3 Anilox Roller is a fully integrated roller. This removes the process of fitting an interchangeable shaft through each roller and significantly reduces set up time. Based on AMT’s current standard large diameter Anilox Roller, the com-pany has taken all the best ele-ments from the lightweight shell and combined them with a lightweight and fully integrated Anilox Roller that is still easy to handle. Additionally any

risk of roller damage through the changing of shaft has now been eliminated.

The final weight for a Generation 3 large diameter Anilox Roller is 85kg. By way of a comparison, a steel roller of the same size weighs approxi-mately 300kg.

In-depth trials have shown that the performance of the Generation 3 Anilox Roller once in production compares favourably to the current style of lightweight roller. The tests have centred around three vital elements of roller perform-ance; lacquer application, the

A new lift which can be used as part of the handling process in a can plant has been launched by Penny Hydraulics.

The Mezz Lift is available in a wide range of configurations to enable users to handle a variety of loads of all shapes and sizes safely and efficiently between two floors, including ground level and mezzanine, in warehouses, stores and work-shops.

The standard model can handle loads up to 500kg through lifting heights exceed-ing 4m. A choice of options including heavy duty models, high lift capability and different platform sizes with a range of

Getting a lift with Penny Hydraulicsattachments and load cradles allows users to specify a version that is uniquely matched to their own handling requirement. It is an alternative to other forms of handling equipment such as lift trucks, conveyors or cranes.

Compact design minimises the Mezz Lift’s footprint without restricting the available storage space and working area. Robust construction using steel compo-nents ensures the Mezz Lift can be installed in virtually any loca-tion, indoors or out, where there is access to a standard 240V 13A power supply without the need for a floor pit. The lift is supplied with its own motor pump unit. Self-contained hydraulic power

provides smooth and precise operation. The lifting speed of 0.5m/s means that a four metre distance between the floor and mezzanine is covered in just eight seconds.

finish given on the coated sheet and roller life-span.

The integral element of the Generation 3 Anilox Roller increases the registration accu-racy over the sheet and elimi-nates the run out from the roller.

The composition of the roll-er allows the coppering and chroming procedures to be sim-plified and improves upon the lifespan of the shaftless light-weight rollers currently in pro-duction, particularly within the chroming process.

plungers, allow manufactur-ers to speed production proc-esses while reducing the risk of product damage when han-dling sensitive goods with vary-ing height requirements. With a unique aluminium design, Piab’s new level compensators pro-vide a lightweight alternative to traditional products manufac-tured from steel, reducing the total weight of vacuum han-dling devices.

This lighter weight allows vacuum systems to move more quickly, so manufacturers can increase production capacity. To help manufacturers reduce the risk of damage to sensi-

tive products, the LC series not only compensates for height differences but also ensures suction cups are gently placed on objects and reduces the need for exact cup position-ing. This makes the compensa-tors ideal for handling sheets of glass, plastic and metal. The LC level compensators also allow an extra long stroke length compared to traditional solu-tions. In addition, they provide shock and vibration absorption to protect other components in vacuum handling systems.

The Rok range was previously only available in 25cl bottles. The energy drink, made from 100 per cent natural ingredients and aimed primarily at 25 to 45 year olds, was launched in 2009.

“The consumer trial that we ran in 2010 proved we had the bever-age and the brand right, but we needed a packaging option that was going to represent the premium product inside,” says Bruce Renny of Rok Natural Energy.

“Rexam’s Fusion bottle provides the elegance and impact that the product deserves.”

Rok Natural Energy drink in Fusion bottles will be available in the mar-ket from March 2011 in top end restaurant and bars, as well as hair salons where it will be offered as a lunchtime beverage.

Gary Aslam, from Rexam Beverage Can, said: “It has been great work-

ing with the team at Rok to develop

the Fusion bottles. Not only do the bottles look great, but they really do represent the great drink inside.”

Throughout 2011, the company will launch a range of new products, including Rok Natural Energy Light and Rok Natural Energy Light with antioxidants.

Cool feature added to cans of Busch Light

PepsiCo has launched a new slim line Diet Pepsi can in conjunction with New York’s Fall 2011 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

The Diet Pepsi Skinny Can will be available to consumers nationwide in March.

The fashion week, which took took place between February 10 and 17, was launched with a series of fash-ion events and celebrations. These included an art installation by fash-ion commentator, Simon Doonan, and collaborations with acclaimed designers, Charlotte Ronson and Betsey Johnson.

“Our slim, attractive new can is the perfect complement to today’s most stylish looks, and we were excit-ed to throw its coming-out party during the biggest celebration of innovative design in the world,” says Jill Beraud, chief marketing officer, PepsiCo.

As part of the festivities, fash-ion commentator, Simon Doonan, famous for his store window displays, unveiled a special collaboration at the Diet Pepsi Style Studio located in New York’s fashionable Soho neigh-bourhood on February 11. Featuring Diet Pepsi’s slim, attractive new cans and incorporating Jonathan Adler designs, the window installation is a unique fusion of fashion and art.

Brewer Anheuser-Busch has launched Busch Light in cans that show when the beer is cool enough for drinking.

Chromatic Technologies Inc (CTI), a specialised inks company, has pro-vided the technology in the form of a temperature indicator that turns blue when the beverage has chilled to the perfect drinking temperature.

The cans and bottles of Busch Light will carry a distinctive Ice Cold Easy Indicator that turns blue at tem-peratures around 46 to 48°F (8 to 9°C). The products will be available in all domestic markets, and will be supported by marketing efforts via billboards, point-of-purchase and magazine advertising.

The aluminium cans of Busch Light carrying the new indicators are in 10,

“I’m thrilled to be working with Diet Pepsi in creating a truly one of a kind window installation – one of my boldest creations yet – that everyone can enjoy,” says Doonan.

12, 16 and 24 oz sizes. The cans will turn blue at 46.4°F (8°C), while bottle labels will sport the unique CTI inks on the 12, 22 and 40 oz bottles with temperature activation occurring at 48.2°F (9°C).

The move by Anheuser-Busch reflects new business for CTI, which has provided similar thermo chromic technology to Coors beers since 2007. Additional beverage companies including Cerveza Atlas (Panama), Coca-Cola (Latin America) and Pacifico Beer in Mexico already utilise the CTI tech-nology.

“It is very rewarding when a major brewer like Anheuser-Busch has embraced our unique attributes,” says Steve Kaczmarek, CTI’s vice president of sales and marketing.

“It has been a lengthy but obviously rewarding process to get our foot in the door. We are extremely pleased to expand our presence in this vital market of beverages that benefit from temperature indicators.”

CTI’s multi-patented proc-ess involves cold temperatures impacting select portions of bever-age bottle labels and cans that then turn the distinctive dark blue colour, thus assuring the customer of a refreshingly chilled product. A major achievement is the inks’ ability to be applied to beverage cans dur-ing fast-paced, high-speed manu-facturing line processes.

Striking cans for cricket fansA range of striking cricket-

themed promotional cans which feature photo-like images are being manufac-tured by Rexam in the UK for brand owner A G Barr.

Rexam has created eight promotional designs for the 330ml cans used for Rubicon’s Exotic Fruit Juice drinks, pro-moting their Love Cricket campaign. This includes their Spin to Win competition which offers consumers the chance to win a number of cricket related prizes.

For further information please visit www.agbarr.co.uk

The cans feature Rexam’s Illustration Impact technology, which allows photo-like images to be printed on the metal, to display images of cricket stars Graeme Swann and Muttiah Muralitharan. These striking images will help to catch the eye of cricket fans.

Adrian Troy, from AG Barr, said: “Having such big cricket per-sonalities as Graeme and Muttiah on-pack is a great boost for Rubicon as they are both world stars, who are instantly recognis-able to cricket fans and will help to drive sales. Cricket is one of the biggest sports in the UK and continues to grow in popularity, especially with England’s brilliant performance to retain the Ashes and consumer excitement about the World Cup.”

The promotional cans went on sale in February and will remain on shelves for two months. They will help build on last year’s cricket themed on pack promotion, which helped Rubicon to achieve its highest ever sales.

Gary Aslam, European customer services and regional sales director at Rexam Beverage Can, added: “We have a great relationship with A G Barr and we consistently deliver high qual-ity products, even under pressure. On this occasion the Rexam customer sales team worked quickly to deliver the promotional cans to Rubicon in less than a week. The high quality of the cans really enhance the complex artwork and helps Rubicon to appeal to all cricket fans.”

For 25 years now, Apeal has demonstrated the advan-

tages of steel for packaging as a reliable and sustain-

able packaging material. With a young and dynamic

team, Apeal will further develop its new and ambitious

strategy. This strategy aims to establish that steel packaging

is not only a highly performing packaging material, but has

also to be considered as a permanent resource, because

of its unique recyclability features. Thanks to these

overall performances and the growing demand

of steel industry for recycled steel scrap for reuse

in all kinds of applications, Apeal will further

facilitate the optimal regulatory conditions for

the manufacturing, marketing and recycling of

steel for packaging.

Apeal also wants to develop a knowledge

centre for steel for packaging in Europe, moni-

toring legislation, providing technical knowhow,

statistics and messaging. In other words, Apeal

will become the reference in Europe for every

question relating to steel for packaging.

I am a bioengineer specialised in environ-

mental management. I have previously worked

mainly in the humanitarian and development

area with water and waste management and

environmental project management with major

organisations, including which the European Commission.

In Apeal, I am in charge of developing a knowledge

centre for the technical matters of steel for packaging:

environment, sustainability, life cycle inventory and analy-

sis, recycling, food contacts/food safety, and all other

technical questions that may arise. The idea is that Apeal

becomes the European

knowledge centre for steel

for packaging, for our

members as well as for our

customers and consumers.

Working with can makersApeal represents and promotes steel for packaging. We

work together with other packaging material representa-

tives when common interests are involved. According to

the environmental concerns of its members, Apeal wants

to focus on the infinite recyclability of steel packaging,

and demonstrate that steel is a permanent resource, a

story that steel shares with the other major metal pack-

aging material, aluminium. In this view, Apeal and the

European Aluminium Association are collaborating under

a new umbrella called Metal Packaging Europe (MPE). Its

formation was agreed in Brussels at the end of May 2010

by executives from European Metal Packaging (Empac),

Beverage Can Makers Europe, Apeal (the packaging steel

manufacturers) and the European Aluminium Association.

On a day-to-day basis, Apeal collaborates with Empac

and MPE. Indeed, can makers and producers of steel

for packaging have of course a common interest in the

development of the metal packaging market for bever-

ages. Apeal will support certain initiatives made by the can

making associations.

Steel DayApeal will organise a Steel Day on the Metal Plaza during

the Interpack Fair in Düsseldorf. We will demonstrate in

front of a public of professionals, the efficiency of steel for

packaging in terms of sustainability and reliability.

We shall also be present at the Empac General Assembly

in Edinburgh on June 9 where we will organise an interac-

tive workshop for the can makers, our customers. With

this workshop we want to familiarise them with the overall

benefits of steel for packaging and also create participa-

tion and commitment from the can makers. This will allow

them to better convince their clients to choose steel for

packaging.

Steel is 100 per cent recyclable. Furthermore, the fact

that steel is magnetic makes it the easiest and most eco-

nomical material to sort and recover. Steel loses none of its

strength or inherent qualities, which makes it infinitely recy-

clable. Well-established routes for collection and recovery

of steel cans have ensured recycling excellence. In 2008,

over 70 per cent of steel packaging in Europe has been

recycled, and CO² emissions per tonne of steel produced

are now 50 per cent lower than they were 40 years ago.

Steel making processes accept all kinds of used steel

packaging, including drinks, food and paint cans, as well

as aerosols - all of which can be recycled indefinitely into

an unlimited range of new steel products without any loss

of quality.

Knowledge centreThe metal packaging industry is aware of its importance

to our planet as a resource using sector. We have always

taken this responsibility seriously. Steel packaging has an

excellent story to tell as the environmental credentials of

the material are extraordinary and unique, meeting many

of the essential criteria for packaging in the sustainabil-

ity-conscious 21st century. I’m looking forward to further

developing Apeal as the steel for packaging knowledge

centre in Europe. I will also be involved in the calculation

of the yearly recycling rates for steel for packaging for the

European countries.

Apeal’s slogan summarises very well the message we

want to spread about steel packaging: “protecting today,

preserving tomorrow”. ❑
