  • Collaboration, Innovation, Transformation Ideas and Inspiration to Accelerate Sustainable Growth - a Value Chain Approach
    Collaboration, innovation, transformation Ideas and inspiration to accelerate sustainable growth - A value chain approach WBCSD_SVC_Guide_PRINT_A4_40_pages_v16_2011_12_08.indd 1 08/12/2011 15:20 About this document Over the next few decades, businesses will face many challenges related to the environmental sustainability of their value chains (i.e. the full life cycle of a product or service) – whether it’s meeting new environmental regulations, securing enough water, energy or other resources for their daily operations, or managing the needs and expectations of their stakeholders. Meeting today’s challenges, while at the same time planning for future needs, is difficult. That’s why the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) has developed this guide. The guide is designed as a practical “how-to” tool, providing both ideas and inspiration to help businesses improve the environmental sustainability of their value chains. Using a practical step-by-step approach, it outlines the concrete actions businesses can take today to become more environmentally sustainable, along with examples from WBCSD member companies that have already successfully adopted a Sustainable Value Chain approach. The guide was developed by the WBCSD’s Sustainable Value Chain Workstream, with leadership from Unilever and The Coca-Cola Company. It includes case studies from AkzoNobel, The Coca-Cola Company, Henkel, Philips, Procter & Gamble, SABIC, Solvay, Sompo Japan Insurance, TNT, Umicore and Unilever.

  • Liquids Filling and Packaging
    pg_0001 Page 1 of 3 home .cd3wd .ar .cn .de .en .es .fr .id .it .ph .po .ru .sw LIQUIDS FILLING AND PACKAGING Liquids can be either thin (eg oils, milk, syrups and juices) or thick and viscous (eg sauces, pickles, hot jams and confectionery). The type of filler used is different for each group of liquids . The packaging requirements of different liquids are similar in that the liquid must be contained but they differ according to whether the liquid is spoiled by air, light, bacteria etc. Filling Low viscosity (thin) liquids The simplest filler is a jug but this is often too slow for small businesses. A simple filler can be made by fitting one or more taps to the base of a bucket, see Figure 1. The bucket should be stainless steel for hot acid liquids (eg fruit juices) or food grade plastic for cold filling. Iron and copper should not generally be used in food handling. A more sophisticated system in which the volume of liquid filled into file:///D:/cd3wddvd/NoExe/Master/dvd001/dvd1/ITDG/LIQPACK/EN/pg_0001.htm 08/ 11/ 2011 pg_0001 Page 2 of 3 volume of liquid filled into iseach controlled, container is obtained using a piston filler, see Figure 2. This is made from glass or the materials described above. Viscous liquids Because these liquids do not flow easily, the piston filler is the preferred option. Liquids that contain particles Both low and high viscosity liquids may contain particles of food (eg fruit, puips, sauces and pickles). The fillers described above will tend to become blocked by particles and a simple filler made from a stainless steel or plastic funnel is more suitable, Figure 3.

  • OMVE FS210 & FS211 Clean-Fill
    ® FS210 & FS211 Clean-Fill Hygienic Filling & Closing Bench When hygienic filling is your priority There are still many laboratories and pilot plants that fill and close the heat-treated product in an open contaminated atmosphere. Moreover the filling line has not been part of a CIP and/or SIP procedure. This will create unacceptable variations in the quality of your trials and doesn’t give a representative simulation of an industrial process line. With the special designed Clean-Fill & Clean-Fill ESL ,OMVE offers the widest range of filling benches for laboratories and pilot plants within the food industry. Different packaging can be filled and closed within the hygienic environment. Two types of hygienic fillers: 1. FS210: The Clean-Fill Basic is a filler in stainless steel with a filling point. A foot pedal for filling the containers is controlled by an automatic hygienic valve. A hygienic closed loop during cleaning is standard. 2. FS211: The Clean-Fill ESL (Extended Shelf Life) regroups all features of the Clean-Fill Basic but also includes a temperature sensor at the coldest spot as well as a touch screen to display this temperature during sterilization. The condensate cooler ensures controllable cooling of the pressurized water or steam during sterilization Unique Features F FS210 FS211 illing Sterile Down flow filling bench Adjustable front window Minimum height of the unit, no need for dissembling S Complete Stainless Steel system ystems Integrated in cleaning loop Aseptic control valves Larger versions (‘’Extended’’) available Different closing devices can be installed Integrated in sterilization loop TFT touch screen guidance during sterilization Working principle FS The OMVE Clean-Fill creates a class 100 working environment ensuring protection for (non-hazardous) products.
