Sustainable packaging Insights
Sustainable packaging is the development and use of packaging which results in improved
sustainability. This involves increased use of life cycle inventory (LCI) and life cycle assessment
(LCA) to help guide the use of packaging which reduces the environmental impact and
ecological footprint. It includes a look at the whole of the supply chain: from basic function, to
marketing, and then through to end of life (LCA) and rebirth.[4] Additionally, an eco-cost to value
ratio can be useful[5]
The goals are to improve the long term viability and quality of life for humans and the longevity
of natural ecosystems. Sustainable packaging must meet the functional and economic needs of
the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Sustainability is not necessarily an end state but is a continuing process of improvement.
Sustainable packaging is a relatively new addition to the environmental considerations for

packaging (see Packaging and labeling). It requires more analysis and documentation to look at
the package design, choice of materials, processing, and life-cycle. This is not just the vague
"green movement" that many businesses and companies have been trying to include over the
past years.
Companies implementing these eco-friendly actions are reducing their carbon footprint, using
more recycled materials and reusing more package components.[8] They often encourage
suppliers, contract packagers, and distributors to do likewise.
For example, researchers at the Agricultural Research Service are looking into using
dairy-based films as an alternative to petroleum-based packaging. [1] Instead of being made of
synthetic polymers, these dairy-based films would be composed of proteins such as casein and
whey, which are found in milk. The films would be biodegradable and offer better oxygen
barriers than synthetic, chemical-based films. More research must be done to improve the water
barrier quality of the dairy-based film, but advances in sustainable packaging are actively being
pursued.
Environmental marketing claims on packages need to be made (and read) with caution.
Ambiguous greenwashing titles such as green packaging and environmentally friendly can be
confusing without specific definition. Some regulators, such as the US Federal Trade
Commission, are providing guidance to packagers.
Companies have long been reusing and recycling packaging when economically viable. Using
minimal packaging has also been a common goal to help reduce costs. Recent years have
accelerated these efforts based on social movements, consumer pressure, and regulation. All
phases of packaging, distribution, and logistics are included
Sustainable packaging is no longer focused on just recycling. Just as packaging is not the only
eco target, although it is still top of mind for many.
Right or wrong, packaging is frequently scrutinized and used as the measure of a company's
overall sustainability, even though it may contribute only a small percentage to the total eco
impact compared to other things, such as transportation, and water and energy use.

For Pmmi, New Media Group Is About More Than Publications
PMMI beefed up its digital offerings with the purchase of Summit Media Group last fall. Since then, the
groups have been busy integrating, and just last week announced the launch of PMMI Media Group—a
new media company that will offer members and the industry a suite of communication tools and
resources.
At a joint committee meeting last week, PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing
Technologies, pulled back the veilon the newly branded PMMI Media Group (PMG), a
business-to-business media company with print and digital offerings that the association says will provide
new ways to distribute content and interactive communication tools to members and the industry.
The creation of PMG comes just three months after PMMIannounced it had purchased Summit Media
Group, a well-known publications and event producer in the packaging and industrial automation industry.
“We looked at our digital footprint and what it would take to really develop a robust digital platform like
theirs, with content marketing, video, everything else, and it was a pretty daunting task,” said PMMI
President and CEO Charles D. Yuska. “It turned out, when we approached Summit Media Group about a
possible acquisition, it turned out to be the right time for them and the right time for us to get together.”
The decision to bring the media outfit into the PMMI fold adds a number of industry-specific publications
to the mix, but, according to Yuska and PMG President Joe Angel, it was about far more than just a
couple of magazines.
“When PMMI acquired us, they acquired all of our technology,” Angel said. “Our portfolio of exclusive
tools includes world-class events, business intelligence, education, and workforce development
resources, and will help companies in the processing and packaging supply chain discover best practices
and grow their business.”
It also gave PMG access to a trove of industry data that will be used to advance the association’s position
as a thought leader. And PMG will play a big role in continuing to engage members and customers
throughout the year, beyond the organization’s popular tradeshows like PMMI’s Pack Expo.
“We haven’t even begun to scratch the surface in terms of what we’ll be doing with content marketing
throughout the year,” said Angel. “Traditionally, PMMI tradeshow websites would peak about a month
before the show and right after the show, and then all of a sudden it would fall off. PMG’s reach is
substantial globally, so we’ll be using that digital platform year round to communicate with all of the
customers and prospects of the PMMI members, and the packaging community as a whole to keep those
conversations going.”
For Yuska, the PMG’s success hinges on PMMI’s ability to simply stay out of the way.
“[Summit was] a very successful business, which is why we bought them,” he said. “From that standpoint,
I’ve been really trying to tell my leadership, ‘Listen, we’re not going to go in there and tell them how to run
their business.’ They’re good at what they do. We just want to make sure that they continue to be
successful while giving them the tools that they need to do their job.

PMMI Announces Purchase of Summit Media Group, Inc.

PMMI Annual Meeting; Rosemont, Illinois; Sept. 16, 2014 - PMMI, The Association for Packaging and
Processing Technologies, owner and producer of the PACK EXPO portfolio of trade shows, has entered
into an agreement to purchase Summit Media Group, Inc., publisher of Packaging World, Automation
World, Healthcare Packaging and Contract Packaging. The sale is expected to conclude in late October,
according to PMMI Chairman Bill Crist, CEO, Kliklok-Woodman, who delivered the announcement at
PMMI's Annual Meeting today.
"Summit is a well-known, highly-respected publisher, with print publications and a significant digital
presence that truly complements PMMI's strategic plan. They bring to the table a fully developed platform,
an established audience and a high level of brand recognition - all within a proven business model," Crist
says.
"PMMI's strategic vision is to create opportunities where businesses and people along the packaging and
processing supply chain can convene to network, problem solve and do business," Crist adds. "The
robust platform Summit brings to the table will enhance our ability to do that."
"I think it's more than fair to say, PMMI's greatest competitive advantage lies in the strength of our trade
shows, programs and services," says PMMI President & CEO Charles D. Yuska, noting that the
multi-media platform will strengthen PMMI's position. "This platform will help connect our PACK EXPO
exhibitors with the trade show attendees year-round and will support the expanding group of expositions."
Summit President and CEO Joe Angel shares his enthusiasm. "The synergy between our two
organizations is one that will enable us both to move to the next level in terms of what we can offer our
subscribers, customers, PMMI members and the packaging and processing community as a whole. We're
very excited to become part of PMMI, with whom we've had a strong relationship for so many years, and
look forward to the new opportunities this strategic acquisition will make possible."
Under the agreement, the Summit Media Group staff will join the PMMI staff, with Summit offices
remaining in the Chicago area.

PMMI Buys Summit Media

Publisher-association relationships aren’t foreign to the B2B world, but they rarely go this far.
PMMI, a trade group for packaging and processing technologies, has agreed to purchase
Summit Media Group, a publisher with five titles in the same space.
Terms weren’t disclosed, though the deal is expected to close next month. Summit staff and
leadership will become employees of the association, with operations remaining headquartered
in Chicago.
The deal immediately gives PMMI, producer of five trade shows, an established year-round,
multi-platform connection to its audience—something the company had been exploring on its
own for the last 18 months, says Charles D. Yuska, president and CEO of PMMI.
“A robust publishing and multimedia presence will be the foundation of our efforts to build a
year-round audience for our tradeshows and other products,” he says. “Building a platform
would take several years and a significant financial investment with no guarantee of success.
On the other hand, purchasing an existing, successful entity would mean much greater speed to
market and a faster return on our financial investment.”
While integration on the marketing front is a central part of the deal, show sales will continue on
separately from media sales for now, Yuska says, though cross-platform buys will be available.
The merger makes PMMI’s own magazine, PMT, redundant however. It’ll be absorbed into
Summit’s title, Packaging World.
WITH PUBLISHING GROUP PURCHASE, PMMI EXPANDS MEMBER

BENEFITS
Build it or buy it? That’s the question PMMI, the Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies,
faced when it decided to expand its digital presence. The answer hinged on the group’s ability to find a
complementary partner.
There was no doubt that PMMI, the Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, would
expand its digital offerings for members—that was determined during a strategic planning session last
spring. How it would implement the digital strategy was a different question.
“As we considered how to build a digital platform, it became clear there were two paths to choose from:
build it or buy it,” PMMI President and CEO Charles D. Yuska said in an email exchange with
Associations Now. “Building a platform would be a significant undertaking, requiring considerable staff
time and financial resources. On the other hand, purchasing a proven platform gives us significantly
greater speed to market and a faster potential return on our financial investment.”
While exploring its options, PMMI identified Summit Media Group, a well-known publications and events
producer in the packaging and industrial automation industry, as a model of what it hoped to accomplish.
“It rose to the top as an example of a successful digital enterprise,” Yuska said. “Our executive committee
realized our two organizations strongly complement each other, and Summit’s partners agreed.”
At its annual meeting earlier this month, PMMI announced it had entered into an agreement to purchase
Summit Media Group, Inc. The sale, expected to close in late October, will bring Summit’s staff into the
fold, along with its many publications. PMMI’s editorial staff—which produces PMT magazine—will be
integrated into Summit’s titles, according to Yuska.
“Summit is a well-known, highly respected publisher, with print publications and a significant digital
presence that truly complements PMMI’s strategic plan,” PMMI Chairman Bill Crist said in a statement.
“[Our] vision is to create opportunities where businesses and people along the packaging and processing
supply chain can convene to network, problem-solve, and do business. The robust platform Summit
brings to the table will enhance our ability to do that.”
The goals for the new platform are threefold: increase attendance at PMMI tradeshows, increase and
diversify revenue, and enhance the organization’s status as an authority and thought leader in the
industry.
“Our focus is always on finding solutions that will support all of our key audiences,” Yuska said. “We didn’t
go into the process thinking about acquiring a publishing house. We went in thinking about supporting our
strategic plan, our members, their customers, and our industry. We had to ask ourselves: Who are we
serving, what do they need, and how can PMMI best serve them?”

de Pack Expoa conectarse más con los asistentes a las ferias durante todo el año, y apoyará el creciente
número de exposiciones”, agrega Yuska.

organizaciones contribuirá a movernos al siguiente nivel en términos de lo que queremos ofrecerles a
nuestros clientes, suscriptores, y miembros de PMMI y la comunidad de empaque y procesamiento como
un todo. Pero con lo que más felices nos sentimos es con formar parte de PMMI, asociación con la que

Packaging World to present packaging buying cycle research

Summit Media Group’s VP Digital & Custom Media Dave Newcorn will present on the topic of the
packaging buying cycle at The Packaging Conference 2014, February 3-5 in Orlando, FL.
The preponderance of product information now available online has transformed how today’s B2B
companies make purchase decisions. Sales representatives are often contacted long after their
customers have fully researched their products, services and competition. AtThe Packaging Conference,
February 3-5 in Orlando, Summit Media Group’s VP Digital & Custom Media, Dave Newcorn, will look at
how the Internet-enabled buyer has changed the traditional buying cycle for packaging equipment,
containers, materials and services.
In his presentation “Mastering the Packaging Buying Cycle for Fun and Profit,” Newcorn will present
proprietary research from Packaging World. Study results will shed light on both packager and supplier
behavior, and offer insights on how buyers and sellers can position themselves to best leverage the new
paradigm.
Packaging World is the exclusive media partner for this year’s event. The Packaging Conference will be
held at Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, FL. More information on the conference is available at
www.thepackagingconference.com.
Packages that need a makeover
Some packages have been annoying for so long that it seems as if manufacturers are teasing us all. Why,
in 2013, must consumers open a box of farina pretty much as they have for decades, by pushing in a
cutout on the side of the box? How many times have you opened a bag of chips only to have it split and
spill the contents?
Patrick Reynolds, editor of the trade publication Packaging World, blames economics. “These are mostly
low-margin, commodity products that yield small profits,” he says. “There isn’t a lot of motivation for
companies to rip out equipment in their plants that’s bought and paid for and invest in new machinery, no
matter how horrible the packaging.” Frito-Lay, for instance, abandoned an experiment to outfit snack bags
with a resealable zippered closure because of cost, says Joe Angel, publisher of Packaging World, and
besides, “they want people to eat all the chips all at once.”
We’ve rounded up some familiar culprits and contacted companies to find out why they couldn’t do better.
Kettle chip bag

The issue. You need a strong but delicate touch to pull the bag open without causing it to split apart and
spill chips.
The company’s response. “It’s always great to hear from a fan. We want you to know that we are always
looking to improve based on feedback from our consumers.” Then the company offered us coupons.
Comet Cleanser
The issue. The cardboard container and metal top deteriorate in moisture, and powder kicks up through
holes in the nonclosable lid when you set it down.
The company’s response. The limitations of the container are by design, to make it recyclable.
Cream of Wheat
The issue. The paperboard box has a spout you create by poking a finger through a precut template.
When you pour, cereal tends to get stuck inside the box, and you can’t reseal the carton.
The company’s response. “We are sure your suggestion for a metal pour spout for the Cream of Wheat
cereals would be a great success. In fact, many of our consumers have requested this. Unfortunately we
currently do not have the machinery to apply this type of packaging.”
Gold Medal Flour

The issue. The flour is tightly packed into a delicate paper sack that’s tricky to handle without tearing or
making a mess.
The company’s response. “It’s very classic and the way it’s always been,” a customer-service rep said.
“And flour is an openly traded commodity. We don’t make much money on it.”
Summit Media Group Names New CEO

Summit Media Group has named Joseph Angel its president and CEO. He takes over for co-founder
Lloyd Ferguson who will remain as a consultant after heading the company for 20 years.
Angel (pictured) has been with the b-to-b publisher, events producer and custom media provider since its
opening in 1993, and continues as publisher of Packaging World and Contract Packaging. Packaging
World is the largest of the company’s five publications with a monthly circulation of more than 65,000 and
about 74,000 monthly unique website visits, per BPA.
"We’re going to keep on the course we’re on," Angel says. "We will continue to adapt and continue to
invest in our digital media properties, as well as sustain our print, but we don’t see any big changes."
Angel cites the company’s recent Playbook projects as an element of the business that he’d like to
continue to develop moving forward.
The initiative, started two years ago, serves exclusive how-to content on a specific project or topic to
readers. Readers must fill out an in-depth questionnaire about their own project needs-things like goals,
budgets and timelines-to get access to the content. That detailed breakdown of each consumer’s needs
gets forwarded to sponsors of the Playbook.
"It’s been an incredible product for us," he says. "The sponsors get these intelligence reports that show
them someone is actively pursuing a project."
Aside from focusing on Playbook production, Angel says the company would like to increase its emphasis
on video, rolling out series across each of its five brands.
Healthcare Packaging Selected as Media Partner to Promote PACK

EXPO International’s Pharmaceutical Pavilion
Summit Media Group’s Healthcare Packaging magazine has been selected as a leading media partner to
grow attendance at PACK EXPO International’s Pharmaceutical Pavilion. PACK EXPO is North America’s
largest packaging trade event, taking place this fall at Chicago’s McCormick Place.
Reston, VA.; June 4, 2012 – PMMI, owner and producer of the PACK EXPO family of trade shows, has
long recognized the need for targeted exhibit areas at their annual PACK EXPO shows, to serve
attendees’ specific interests in a variety of markets. These sections include the Processing Zone, The
Confectionary Pavilion, and the Brand Zone, among others.
Summit Media Group, publisher of Healthcare Packaging, is pleased to announce that PMMI has
selectedHealthcare Packaging to promote attendance to the Pharmaceutical Pavilion at PACK EXPO
International 2012 in Chicago, October 28-31.
The promotional campaign, which runs from April until October 31, 2012, features magazine print ads and
advertorials, website display ads, and a custom newsletter, "Rx Update, Innovations at PACK EXPO for
Pharmaceutical, Medical Device and Biologics Packaging." The newsletter will feature videos of exhibits
shot in the Pharmaceutical Pavilion last year at PACK EXPO Las Vegas. These booth videos
communicate to prospective attendees the show's wide ranging solution offerings such as OEE,
validation, cold chain, anti-counterfeiting and serialization, and will be sent to Summit Media Group's Life
Sciences database, as well as other key pharmaceutical and medical device databases.
Publisher Jim Chrzan is excited at the opportunity to partner with the largest packaging show in the U.S.
"The Pharma Pavilion encourages global participation," says Chrzan. "And our message stresses that
while attendees come for Pharma Pavilion, they will be able to find many other key suppliers throughout
the show floor."

Summit Media Sees Bright Future in Lead-Gen Tech, Custom Content
Summit Media Group’s trajectory in b2b media since launching its flagship title Packaging World in 1993
is not uncommon at first glance—it went from print to print/Web/event hybrid. Look a little deeper, though,
and you see a company that has been remarkably nimble at growing its business in a challenging
economy. When print advertising got shaken by the double-whammy of the Web explosion and worldwide
recession, Summit Media invested in lead-generation technology and in expanding its Packworld.com
user base, and these gambles are paying off.
The company is now being asked by other publishers to license its lead-gen technology, and
Packworld.com, its main site serving the packaging industry, now has more than 100,000 registered
users, according to Joe Angel, vice president/publisher of Summit Media Group Inc.
Angel started Summit Media with partner Lloyd Ferguson in 1993, and the 1990s were good years for the
monthly Packaging World, as they were for many b2b publications. In 2003 Summit Media
launchedAutomation World, also a monthly, which covers plant operation and related IT software and
processes. The growth continued with the launch of Healthcare Packaging, a bimonthly serving the
pharma and medical device packaging industry, and Contract Packaging, which is published three times a
year and is the official publication of the Contract Packaging Association. Summit also publishes the
PACK EXPO Showcase issue for the annual PACK EXPO show, sponsored by the Packaging Machinery
Manufacturers Institute.
The company’s newest brands are Shelf Impact, a custom e-newsletter that covers brand strategies and
packaging design, and Greener Package, an online-only play that serves as a knowledge exchange for
companies investing in sustainable packaging. On the events side, Summit held its Sustainable
Packaging Symposium in Chicago on March 16-18, and coming up in April is its Packaging Automation
Forum, with the Healthcare Packaging Conference and Workshop following in May.
Just this month, Summit Media announced the formation of a custom media division, which is being
headed by longtime Summit executive Dave Newcorn, who is serving as the unit’s VP of digital and
custom media.
In the following Q&A, Jo Angel shares with minonline some of Summit Media’s monetization strategies
and details about the company’s homegrown lead-gen techology.
minonline: Let’s start with your newest brand, Greener Package. What’s the business model?
Joe Angel: The revenue model for the Greener Package Web site comes from three sources: lead-gen
programs, display advertising and a unique supplier membership program. We offer different levels of
membership sponsorships. So a company can come in, take a top-level sponsorship, which is around
15,000, or they can come in and be a lower-level sponsor. We have an email newsletter component with
that as well that we sell sponsorships for. All companies that want to invest in sponsoring on Greener
Package must be accepted by a third-party review for sustainable claims. The GP database is the official
entry point for Walmart’s packaging scorecard, a deal announced late in 2009.
minonline: You’re using a similar model for Summit Media’s other sites?
Angel: Yes. For Packworld.com, for Automationworld.com—for all of our Web products—we sell
sponsorships, and that is tied in to some of our lead-generation products. We also have pure
branding-only opportunities, but provide metrics via Google.
minonline: Who was the driving force behind Summit Media’s lead-gen technology?
Angel: Dave Newcorn. One of his attributes is that he was Packaging World’s editor, so he knows the
business very well. We actually hired him in 1995 as an editor, but he just loves online stuff, and we made
him our VP of e-media and gave him his own department, including hiring an in-house Web developer,
Tom Wolf, who is a genius. Dave and Tom have been very innovative, and we’ve organically developed
our own technology for most of our Web products. We have this one-click technology, which we apply to
all of our Web lead-generation products. The technology we use offers full contact reporting—permission
based—and gives an advertiser complete information with name, company, address, email, phone, and
tells you what specific call-to-action item they clicked on and even what time.
minonline: What makes it “one click” technology?
Angel: We invested a lot of money in our circulation, and what we’ve done is marry the technology from
the Web with our database on the back end. So when John Smith or Jane Smith from Procter & Gamble
comes in and views a video, if they’re not registered, they’ve got to register. And then every subsequent
time they visit our site they don’t have to register, because we already have their information. So if they
click on a white paper today and two hours later they go to a video, they won’t have to register again, yet
the advertiser will get full contact information. So it’s a very user-friendly experience, and we clearly put a
disclaimer there that by clicking on this video, you’ve agreed to release your information to an advertiser.
minonline: And if you choose not to agree to release your information?
Angel: Then you put yourself in a bucket of people whose information we don’t release. It’s been working
real well. We have 109,000 registered users of our Web products, and we’ve generated over 600,000
leads for our customers in the last three years. We have about an 80% renewal rate on our Web
products, so we’ve really grown that portion of our business. We're very proud of this, and it motivates us
to continue innovating. It's the reality of the Web.
minonline: That represents what percentage of Summit Media’s revenue?
Angel: We anticipate that the Web will be about 25-30% of our overall revenue in 2011. And a lot of that’s
going to come from the custom division that we’ve launched.
minonline: And where does print fit in?
Angel: I’d be lying if I said the decline in print advertising hasn’t taken its toll, but 2009 aside, last year we
grew pretty significantly in print—we grew about 20%. We put together an "SMG Network" integrated
package for our customers that incorporates print and any type of online product, and what it has done is
encourage print spending. It calculates a monthly payment, so we don’t nickel and dime them with 10
different invoices.
minonline: Where do you see the largest potential for revenue growth looking ahead at the rest of 2011
and into 2012?
Angel: We’re going to have a real opportunity with custom content and marketing services. We’re going to
be developing custom e-newsletters, e-show dailies, microsites—and I see a really big upswing in our
revenue this year from that. And we'll continue investing in events—I'm convinced nothing will replace
face-to-face interaction, no matter what technology brings.

PACK EXPO Welcomes the Center for Trends & Technology Back to Las
Vegas
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PACK EXPO Welcomes the Center for Trends & Technology Back to Las Vegas
Popular show floor feature, sponsored by Rockwell Automation and its PartnerNetwork™ Program,

Reston, Va.; May 1, 2015 — PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma EXPO 2015 (Las Vegas Convention
Center; Sept. 28–30) welcome back the Center for Trends and Technologies: Improving Production
Through Innovation (CTT) (Booth C-4829), sponsored by Rockwell Automation and its PartnerNetwork™

Charles D. Yuska, president and CEO of PACK EXPO owner and producer PMMI, The Association for
Trends and Technologies, notes CTT will be more relevant than ever at this year’s show, which includes
the Las Vegas debut of Pharma EXPO, produced in partnership by PMMI and the International Society for

Personal Care Packaging Market Headed for Growth and Global Expansion
PMMI’s latest study explores personal care packaging trends; PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma
EXPO 2015 deliver solutions.
Reston, Va.; May 6, 2015 — A new market assessment report from PMMI, The Association for Packaging
and Processing Technologies, the owner and producer of PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma EXPO
2015 (Sept. 28–30; Las Vegas Convention Center), predicts 5.5 percent annual growth for the global
personal care packaging market through 2019. “Personal Care Market Assessment” also examines global
trends, drivers and opportunities from the choice of materials to operations.
Growth in formats and materials
Bottles account for 30 percent of the market and are expected to grow an additional 28 percent through
2019, making them the most commonly used container format in this market. Cartons are catching up,
however, showing the greatest growth from 2010–2014 — from 9 to 19 percent of the market. As for
materials, plastic is the most popular for personal care packaging, accounting for 61 percent of materials
used. PMMI’s study projects plastic will remain dominant, growing 12 percent by 2019.
Brand owners are seeking out ways to reduce waste by using less packaging overall as consumers’
demand for convenience has led to a surge in smaller, more portable packages. Well-developed markets,
including North America and Europe, are expected to see slower growth rates in cosmetics than
developing markets such as Asia-Pacific and Latin America. Additional factors driving the personal care
market include an expanding focus on sustainability, evolving consumer demands, innovations in
machinery and materials, flexible equipment and globalization.
See the Change for Yourself
The shifts in consumer audiences and their demands make the need for flexibility even more important to
personal care product packaging. To keep up with audience shifts, trends, technologies and industry
challenges, personal care industry professionals can turn to Pharma EXPO, produced in cooperation by
PMMI and the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE). Co-located with PACK EXPO
Las Vegas 2015 (Las Vegas Convention Center; September 28-30), Pharma EXPO’s Las Vegas debut
will present the event's 30,000 attendees with a variety of equipment and material solutions from 2,000
exhibitors across more than 800,000 net square feet of exhibit space. This industry-leading event
provides access to the latest processing and packaging technologies, opportunity for cross-pollinating
ideas across industries, networking with peers and suppliers and insights from a diverse range of
educational programming.
PACK EXPO Las Vegas will showcase ideas and technologies for handling these and other
developments, with The Brand Zone spotlighting containers and materials innovations. To register for
PACK EXPO and Pharma EXPO, visitwww.packexpolasvegas.com ($30, increasing to $100 after Sept.
14). A companion infographic and executive summary are available online at no charge, and the complete
report is available for download (free to PMMI members; $3,500 for non-members).

Food Safety Summit Resource Center Returns to PACK EXPO Las Vegas
Reston, Va.; May 11, 2015 — The Food Safety Summit Resource Center (Booth S-7632),
organized and brought to you by the Food Safety Summit, will return to PACK EXPO Las Vegas
and Pharma EXPO (Sept. 28–30, 2015; Las Vegas Convention Center), according to show
owner and producer PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, and
the Food Safety Summit.
The Food Safety Summit Resource Center, a regular PACK EXPO feature since 2010, brings
together experts in food production and food safety for a series of educational opportunities.
Subject matter experts will provide information focused on best practices and recent advances
on the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) as well
as important topics including HACCP, food fraud, federal and state regulations, environmental
monitoring, allergens and compliance issues.
“Since FSMA was announced in 2011, manufacturers have, out of necessity, been
hyper-focused on food safety issues,” says Charles D. Yuska, president & CEO, PMMI. “The
Food Safety Summit Resource Center gives PACK EXPO attendees a chance to get the
specific information they need to stay abreast of this important issue.”
FSMA rules, which are still in the process of being finalized, attack food safety concerns
proactively, taking a stance that favors prevention over recovery.
“Food safety violations and product recalls will cost your company money and devalue your
brand. That’s unacceptable at best. The Food Safety Summit Resource Center is a place where
PACK EXPO attendees address their specific questions with leading experts — so they can
return to the office better educated and ready to put plans into motion to avoid violations and
recalls,” says Scott Wolters, event director, Food Safety Summit.
PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2015 welcomes the co-located Pharma EXPO (produced in
cooperation with the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering) for the first time.
More than 30,000 attendees and 2,000 exhibitors will be on hand for the show and its more than
800,000 net square feet of exhibit space. Registration is $30, but increases to $100 after Sept.
14. Learn more about the shows in general, and the Food Safety Summit Resource Center in
particular, at packexpolasvegas.com.

OpX Leadership Network Releases Guide to Increased Productivity

Through Workforce Engagement
Reston, Va.; May 15, 2015 — The OpX Leadership Network’s Workforce Engagement Solutions Group
released its first resource, Workforce Engagement, last week at IndustryWeek Best Plants Conference &
Expo in Charlotte, North Carolina.
“Workforce Engagement is a critical issue in American businesses,” said Tom Egan, PMMI vice president
of Industry Services. “Gallup estimates that the U.S. economy lost between $450 and $550 billion in
productivity in 2013 due to disengaged workers. This document serves as a practical guide to avoiding
that loss from people who are part of solving this problem at their own companies.”
Group Chair Greg Flickinger, Ph.D., vice president of Manufacturing and Corporate Engineering,
Snyder’s-Lance, presented this resource, produced by manufacturing industry thought leaders. The paper
provides an employable strategy for increasing engagement throughout the chain of command, ensuring
staff is invested in a company’s success and reaching common goals. This resource guides readers
through a process of empowering a company’s workforce to make and own decisions to create an active
team that can take actions that lead to positive results.
"The engagement framework provides a roadmap of universal principles that enable and nurture a culture
of ownership,” Flickinger says. “Understanding the many contributing factors will help leadership make
improvements in their culture to unlock discretionary effort and commensurate performance. It took over
two years to codify the key elements used by successful leaders to authentically and consistently make
the organizational magic happen."
Available for download now at OpXLeadershipNetwork.org, the report guides readers through the
concepts of empowerment, enablement and connection to create an engaged workforce.

Complexity of E-Commerce Supply Chain Raises the Stakes for

Manufacturers
Complexity of E-Commerce Supply Chain Raises the Stakes for Manufacturers

PMMI study examines packaging challenges prompted by growing U.S. e-commerce market; PACK
EXPO presents solutions
Reston, Va.; May 26, 2015 — With 131,447 U.S. businesses selling their products online, revenues near
$298 billion and an annual growth rate close to 6 percent, the e-commerce supply chain’s growing volume
is complemented by increased complexity, according to the “E-Commerce Market Assessment” published
this year by PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, the owner and producer
of the PACK EXPO portfolio of trade shows. With jumps in volume and complexity, however, come
challenges manufacturers must address. PMMI also produced an infographic highlighting the study’s key
findings, now available at packexpolasvegas.com.
Keep the Product Safe
Replacing a destroyed item can cost up to 17 times as much as shipping, and overcoming negative online
reviews stemming from such an incident can take months. Each step in the delivery chain only increases
the risk of damage to packages and that makes engineering essential. Ultimately, manufacturers must
ensure packaging remains undamaged throughout the delivery process, regardless of the shipping
scenario. Another, related challenge is eased with the effective use of warehouse management systems,
which help make rightsizing feasible.
Constant Communications Count
Strong communication with third-party retailers is another critical factor for manufacturers overcoming the
complications of the e-commerce supply chain. Frequent communication can bridge disconnects that lead
to consumer dissatisfaction. For example, when brand owners plan significant changes to primary
packaging, they should work with their third-party retailers to take current inventory and marketing into
account so the consumer experience is in sync with the marketing.
Secondary Packaging is Prime Marketing Space
Product marketing on packages presents another challenge: Distinct differences of opinion. Marketers
want packaging to reflect their brand and even advertise products; operations and engineering question
the value of branded packaging post-purchase; and logistics professionals face looming concerns of theft.
These disagreements can present significant hurdles, but compromises can be found through tactics such
as discreet branding and product advertisements on secondary packaging.
Professionals across a wide variety of vertical market segments can find the latest information and
technologies to tackle the challenges associated with the growth of e-commerce at PACK EXPO Las
Vegas and Pharma EXPO 2015 (Las Vegas Convention Center; September 28–30, 2015). The shows’
first co-location in Las Vegas will draw 30,000 attendees to see 2,000 exhibitors showcase a variety of
equipment and material solutions across more than 800,000 net square feet of exhibit space. This
record-breaking event will offer attendees opportunities to see the latest packaging and processing
technologies, cross-pollinate ideas and innovation across industries, network with peers and suppliers,
and gain insights from a diverse range of educational programming.
To register for PACK EXPO and Pharma EXPO, visit www.packexpolasvegas.com. Registration is $30
through Sept. 14, when it increases to $100. PMMI’s full “E-Commerce Market Assessment” is available

“ASCO Numatics is proud to sponsor the Amazing Packaging Race again, as it allows us to give our
up-and-coming workforce a comprehensive view of how exciting and dynamic a career in packaging can
be,” says Robert W. Kemple, Jr., executive vice president, sales and marketing – Americas, ASCO
Numatics.
Ferrante views the race as a fun way to teach students some of the less tangible aspects of a career in
processing and packaging.
“ASCO’s enthusiasm motivates packaging students to engage in this field, and that benefits the industry
as a whole. That’s one important lesson. What’s just as critical to their ultimate success is how quickly
they’re forced to work together,” she says, noting that PMMI intentionally assigns students from a mix of
schools to each team.
“The race becomes a series of teachable moments,” she adds. “Teamwork, hands-on packaging skills
and networking — these are decisive factors in how the students will perform in their careers.”
Following a short break for judges to tabulate the results, ASCO Numatics will announce the winning
team, and present its members with a prize such as the newest tablet computer.
The company will also present its Industrial Automation Engineering Scholarships to two U.S. engineering
students pursuing careers in disciplines related to industrial automation. In addition to presenting the
winning students with $5,000 awards, ASCO Numatics will make a grant of $1,000 to the engineering
departments of the colleges in which the winners are enrolled.

EXPO PACK to Alternate Locations Annually

Reston, Va.; June 16, 2015 — The 30th Anniversary edition of EXPO PACK México opened with the
announcement that show producer PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies,
will alternate its two Mexican shows every other year starting in 2017. EXPO PACK México 2016, (Mexico
City, Centro Banamex) will take place May 17–20, 2016, while EXPO PACK Guadalajara (Expo
Guadalajara) moves to June 13–15, 2017.
"2015 proved EXPO PACK Guadalajara has grown beyond a regional event," says Gerardo Barajas,
director of EXPO PACK. “Due to the continuing growth in the packaging and machinery markets in
Western Mexico, it was time to bring the same types of resources offered in Mexico City to Guadalajara.”
Long recognized as one of the leading agro-industrial areas in Mexico, additional industrial growth in the
State of Jalisco positions it as the nation’s second largest manufacturing center. Currently, the region’s
diverse offerings make it the number one producer of electronics, telecommunications, confections,
Agave/tequila, leather, jewelry, milk poultry, pork and eggs.
Jalisco is the heart of West Central Mexico, a region that accounts for 20 percent of Mexico’s GDP and
includes the states of Aguascalientes, Colima, Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit, San Luis Potosi, Sinaloa
and Zacatecas. EXPO PACK Guadalajara will draw attendees from throughout the region looking for the
latest technology to meet their growing demands.
"With so much industry in the region, companies are looking for solutions providers to keep them
competitive in the marketplace," says Barajas. "EXPO PACK Guadalajara plans to bring it to them."
The 2015 success of EXPO PACK Guadalajara proved to PMMI that the market was large enough to
serve more than a regional show. In 2017, its objective will be to more than double the size and scope of
EXPO PACK Guadalajara to over 7,500 sq. meters and 12,000 visitors, with the goal to grow in size and
scope comparable to the Mexico City event.

Pharma EXPO’s Conference Addresses Efficiency and Workforce

Development in Day-Long Manufacturing Operations Track
Sessions explore empowering employees, single-use systems, OEMS and CMOs, and microbial
contamination
Reston, Va.; Aug 4, 2015 — The Manufacturing Operations track of the Pharma EXPO Conference
Program will address efficiency, supplier partnerships, workforce development and more during this fall’s
Pharma EXPO, co-located with PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2015 (Sept. 28–30; Las Vegas Convention
Center). The series of seminars will make up the first day of the world-class conference produced by the
International Society of Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE). ISPE co-owns Pharma EXPO with PMMI,
The Association of Packaging and Processing Technologies, and curates the conference program.
“Successful manufacturing operations depend on the best technologies, processes and skilled workers,”
said Charles D. Yuska, president and CEO of PMMI, which owns and produces the PACK EXPO portfolio
of trade shows. “The track ISPE has come up with for Monday will provide knowledge attendees need to
move closer to that goal. We’re very pleased ISPE is organizing the conference.”
As part of the Manufacturing Operations track, five sessions will detail technologies and practices to
overcome challenges affecting professionals across the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, biotech and
medical device industries.
Given the importance of workforce development across the manufacturing sector, a wide range of
attendees will benefit from the spotlight session, “Manufacturing Excellence: Empower Employees to
Unleash Their Potential in High Performance Work Teams,” led by Steve Speer, director, Operations,
ProPharma Group.
The challenge of maximizing efficiency is another notable theme. The first session, “Single Use Systems:
Explore the Manufacturing Impact from Supplier Qualification to Optimizing Operations,” led by Jeff
Odum, director of operations, IPS-Integrated Project Services, Inc., will address concerns in implementing
new single-use system platforms into existing platforms based on traditional, stainless steel technologies.
Making the right asset investment decisions — or selecting the best possible contract manufacturer — is
also an important factor contributing to a manufacturer’s overall efficiency. In “ISO 55000 and OEMs Who
Integrate Reliability & Automation in their Designs,” Mari Getsug, senior consultant, Maintenance &
Reliability Services, CAI-Commissioning Agents, Inc., explores the role original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs) play in helping manufacturers achieve reliable, successful equipment design in the age of the
new ISO 55000 Asset Management standards. ISO 55000 focuses on lifecycle cost and risk-based
performance.
Additionally, Kevin Debbs, process specialist, and Christa Myers, associate/lead process engineer, CRB,
will guide attendees in a risk assessment exercise to evaluate contract manufacturing organizations for a
project in “Outsourcing Dilemma: Find the Right CMO to Minimize the Risk and Maximize the Quality of
Your Brand.”
In a presentation that marries matters of efficiency and product safety, Elizabeth Rivera, technical
services manager, STERIS Corp, will outline a holistic approach to remediate microbial contamination in
process equipment in: “Microbial Contamination: An Audit Approach to Address Contamination in Process
Equipment.”
The Pharma EXPO Conference Program kicks off with the Manufacturing Operations track on Sept. 28
with sessions from 9:00 a.m.–2:50 p.m. in Room N-253. Register for Pharma EXPO and view the full

Reston, Va.; Aug. 10, 2015 — PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, and
Dorner Manufacturing are proud to announce Michigan State University's Alexandra Slagle as the
recipient of the 2015 Richard C. Ryan Scholarship.
“Every year there are more and more applicants for scholarships in the packaging industry,” said Maria
Ferrante, vice president of Education & Workforce Development, PMMI. “This year was no exception, and
Alexandra certainly raised the bar for future applicants.”
Alexandra’s application focused on a scope of learning that extended beyond her packaging major
coursework to encompass engineering and physics, and emphasized the critical role packaging can play
in battling hunger in developing countries.
“This was a difficult decision because of the quality of all of our applicants, but we’re pleased to have
selected Alexandra Slagle as the recipient of the Richard C. Ryan Scholarship for 2015,” said Jim
Barwick, director of Human Resources, Dorner Mfg. Corp. “She has a clear understanding of the field,
has a plan, shows passion and we were particularly impressed by her international perspective.”
The $2,000 Richard C. Ryan Packaging Education Scholarship was established in memory of Richard C.
Ryan, former president and CEO of Dorner Manufacturing Corporation, a PMMI member company. It is
one of several scholarships administered by the PMMI Foundation, which provides more than $100,000
annually in scholarships to students and has provided more than $1.5 million in support since 1998.

Pharma EXPO Addresses Regulatory Trends

Reston, Va.; Aug. 11, 2015 — In just over two years, pharmaceutical manufacturers must meet the Nov.
27, 2017, deadline of the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), which requires unique product
identifiers on certain prescription drug packages. This measure is part of 2013’s Title II of the Drug Quality
and Security Act (DQSA), a 10-year rollout of steps to prevent the counterfeiting of drugs distributed in the
United States. To help pharmaceutical manufacturers comply with this and other regulations, Pharma
EXPO 2015 (Sept. 28–30; Las Vegas Convention Center) will provide access to advanced solutions for
the entire pharmaceutical lifecycle and a wide range of educational opportunities.
Co-produced by PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, and the
International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE), and co-located with PMMI’s PACK EXPO
Las Vegas, Pharma EXPO will provide a forum where manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical,
biopharmaceutical and medical device sectors can learn about the latest regulations, offering clarification
as well as actionable insights and sophisticated technologies. Projections indicate the combined event will
attract 30,000 attendees to see solutions presented by 2,000 suppliers.
“The Drug Supply Chain Security Act, along with other pharmaceutical regulations worldwide, places an
increased emphasis on serialization and the interoperability of systems along the supply chain and in the
pharmaceutical production process,” says Tom Egan, vice president, Industry Services, PMMI. “It is
important for affected pharmaceutical manufacturers to ensure they are equipped to meet these new
requirements and protect their supply chains – and patients – against counterfeiters.”
To help attendees keep up with the new provisions and address the challenges they bring forth, Pharma
EXPO will provide excellent educational opportunities, including free 30-minute presentations at the
Innovation Stage (Booth N-559). These sessions, conveniently located on the show floor, will present the
latest information on breakthrough technologies and techniques for the pharmaceutical industry.
In addition, the Pharma EXPO conference program, organized by ISPE, will run daily during the show,
and the designated track for Tuesday, Sept. 29, is Compliance Trends. Tuesday’s presentations will delve
into serialization, track-and-trace, risk management, cleaning validation and incident investigation. The
world-class sessions include “Serialization and Track & Trace: From Theory to Practical Application
Success Including Global Trends,” led by Marcelo De Oliveira of NORDIKA. This presentation will
address the urgent need to develop strategies and implement actions to cover new and future
requirements, comply with laws and receive benefits from regulations.
To register for Pharma EXPO, visit www.pharmaexpo.com. Registration is $30 through Sept. 14. Starting
Sept. 15, registration increases to $100. Separate fees apply to the Pharma EXPO conference program.
Discounted conference costs through Sept. 14 are $90 for a single session, $145 for a single-day pass
and $350 for a full-conference pass. After Sept. 14, the rates increase to $140 for a single session, $220

DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers Champions PACK gives

BACK™ as Title Sponsor
Reston, Va.; Aug. 17, 2015 — For the second consecutive year, DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers
(P&IP) will proudly serve as a title sponsor for PACK gives BACK™, coming to PACK EXPO Las Vegas
and Pharma EXPO 2015 (Sept. 28–30; Las Vegas Convention Center) Sept. 28, reports show owner and
producer PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies.
The annual fundraiser will feature recording artists Chicago, and a portion of ticket proceeds will support
Fisher House Foundation and Nevada’s first Fisher House comfort home, which the Nevada Military
Support Alliance is building in North Las Vegas.
“DuPont P&IP is extremely proud to once again support PACK gives BACK. In addition to the opportunity
and forum for packaging leaders to network, attendees can show their support of our nations’ veterans for
their unwavering commitment and dedication to this country,” says DeMond Chapman, North America
Packaging Business Manager, P&IP. “We look forward to supporting veterans and their families through
this event. We are indebted to the men and women who protect and defend our nation and the families
who support them.”
Fisher House Foundation operates a network of 65 “comfort homes” around the world — lodging,
provided free-of-charge, to families of service members and veterans in treatment at nearby military and
VA hospital facilities. Construction on the Nevada Fisher House, located on the grounds of the Veterans
Administration’s (VA) Southern Nevada Healthcare System campus, began in March.
In 2014 alone, Fisher House Foundation programs served more than 25,000 military families, saving them
over $47 million in expenses for lodging, food and transportation. In addition to the comfort homes, Fisher
House Foundation operates the Hero Miles program, which uses donated frequent flyer miles to bring
families to the bedsides of injured service members; Hotels for Heroes, which helps pay for their hotel
stays; and offers a grant program and scholarship funds.
“PACK gives BACK has become a signature PACK EXPO experience,” says Charles D. Yuska, president
and CEO, PMMI. “It’s where the people of the processing and packaging supply chain come together for
a good cause. This year, we will help active and retired service members undergoing treatment in the Las
Vegas metropolitan area. The city of Las Vegas has been a true partner in our success here over the past
20 years, so it’s a special honor to contribute to the area’s first Fisher House.”
Now in its 48th year, Chicago is the first American rock band to chart Top 40 albums in six decades,
producing hit after hit like “Saturday in the Park,” “Baby What a Big Surprise,” “Does Anybody Really
Know What Time It Is?” and 18 other Top 10 singles. The band’s debut album, “Chicago Transit
Authority,” is in the GRAMMY Hall of Fame, and Billboard magazine lists Chicago at 13 on its list of Top
100 Artists of All Time, the highest charting American band.
“Networking and entertaining customers are important parts of any trade show event, but what sets PACK
gives BACK apart is that it’s a chance to make a difference in the world,” Yuska says. “The success we’ve
had with it over the last few years is a testament to the spirit and generosity of the PACK EXPO
community.”
Tickets for PACK gives BACK are only available to registered PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma
EXPO 2015 attendees and exhibitors, and can be purchased through the registration portal at
packexpolasvegas.com. Cost is $100 per person ($90 per person for groups of 10 or more). Doors open

Pharmaceutical Industry Takes Center Stage in PACK Solutions

Challenge
Reston, Va.; Aug. 24, 2015 — The PACK Solutions Challenge will return to PACK EXPO Las Vegas
(Sept. 28-30; Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas) and the co-located Pharma EXPO with a focus
on issues facing the pharmaceutical industry, according to PMMI, The Association for Packaging and
Processing Technologies, and owner and producer of the PACK EXPO portfolio of trade shows.
“Every year the PACK Solutions Challenge tasks students from PMMI Partner Schools around the country
with finding solutions to real world packaging problems,” says Maria Ferrante, vice president of Education
& Workforce Development, PMMI. “With Pharma EXPO making its Las Vegas debut, it’s appropriate that
this year’s challenge should focus on the pharmaceutical industry.”
The annual PACK Solutions Challenge, sponsored this year by B&R Industrial Automation, pits teams of
packaging college students against each other in a competition to develop the best solution for a
particular packaging need.
In the competition’s 2015 edition, students will be tasked with developing a packaging solution for fictional
company “Innovative Pharmaceuticals Inc.” and its new fast-dissolving OTC product. Packaging mentors
from manufacturers exhibiting at the show will guide students in their efforts, and they’ll use
packexpolasvegas.com as one of their primary research tools. On site, they will visit booths and conduct
interviews to complete the project.
Students will present their proposals to a panel of end user judges on Tuesday, Sept. 29, with winners
announced that afternoon at B&R Industrial Automation’s Booth (S-5956). Attendees can submit their

International Powerhouses Announce Launch of ProFood Tech
PMMI, Koelnmesse and IDFA Join Forces to Offer a New North American Food and Beverage
Processing Event at Chicago’s McCormick Place in Spring 2017
Reston, Va.; Sept. 14, 2015 — Three trade show leaders joined forces today to announce the launch of
ProFood Tech, a new event that will focus on processing technologies serving the food and beverage
industry. ProFood Tech will make its debut April 4–6, 2017, at McCormick Place, in Chicago, Ill.
The event is powered by three of the world’s trade show leaders — PMMI, The Association for Packaging
and Processing Technologies; Koelnmesse and the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA). PMMI
is the owner and producer of the PACK EXPO portfolio of trade shows and represents North American
manufacturers of equipment, components and materials for processing and packaging. Koelnmesse
organizes world leading trade shows for food and beverage, such as Anuga and Anuga Food Tec in
Cologne, Germany. IDFA is North America’s largest dairy association, representing more than 85 percent
of all North American manufacturing of dairy products.
“In assessing the current trade show landscape, we saw there was a need for a dedicated event that
brings buyers together with leading world-wide manufacturers in the food and beverage industry,” says
Charles D. Yuska, president and CEO, PMMI. “ProFood Tech provides a venue to share the latest
innovations and crossover technologies from multiple vertical markets within the food and beverage
industry and will be that one-stop-shop featuring exhibits from both large companies that serve several
customer segments and smaller niche companies with focus on more specific needs.”
Exponential changes in technology are making it hard for food and beverage companies to keep up.
ProFood Tech will provide a wide perspective on the food and beverage processing industry as a whole
and feature cutting edge solutions to the challenges the industry is facing every day on the plant floor.
More than a trade show, ProFood Tech provides both large and small suppliers the opportunity to build
their businesses by breaking into new food and beverage markets, cementing their status as industry
leaders and reaching a large group of customers at one event.
“In a close dialogue with leading technology suppliers from around the globe, we aim to create a market
platform in the United States that is tailored to the requirements of domestic and foreign exhibitors and
visitors,” explains Gerald Böse, president and CEO of Koelnmesse. “Over a period of decades,
Koelnmesse has established an excellent reputation world-wide as a trade show organizer, especially in
the field of food products and food technology. Examples include the leading international trade fair
Anuga, the world’s biggest and most important trade show for the food industry, as well as related
spin-offs around the world.”
“ProFood Tech,” Böse adds, “marks a further logical step in Koelnmesse’s strategy aimed at offering
expert support to our customers in various target markets in our role as a global service provider.”
With an expansive show floor and enhanced educational programming led by IDFA, ProFood Tech will
attract high-level buyers from every food and beverage sector.
“The opportunities for new ideas and break-through solutions are amazing when executives from related
businesses come together to discuss, review and experience the innovations, products and services
available today,” says Connie Tipton, president and CEO of IDFA. “IDFA is proud to partner with these
trade show leaders and to continue our tradition of bringing industry suppliers, processors and
manufacturers together so they can find profitable business solutions, discover new technologies and see
the innovations that are abundant in our industry.”
Industry leaders, including Delkor Systems, Inc., and Tetra Pak, are excited about the opportunities that
ProFood Tech will offer.
“As a longtime member of both IDFA and PMMI, Delkor is very pleased to see the attention and focus that
ProFood Tech will bring to the North American food and beverage industry,” says Dale Andersen,
president and CEO of Delkor Systems, Inc. ”Koelnmesse’s outstanding reputation as a trade show
organizer only strengthens this collaboration.”
”As a world leader in processing and packaging technologies, Tetra Pak is excited about the potential
ProFood Tech holds,” says Carla Fantoni, vice president of communications for Tetra Pak U.S. and
Canada. “The joint efforts of PACK EXPO, Anuga and IDFA clearly demonstrate a commitment from
these three leading organizations to establish a trusted brand serving all food and beverage categories.
We think this consolidated approach will help suppliers and customers alike make the most of the show.”
ProFood Tech is a totally unique endeavor with the collaboration of three of the world’s leading industry
organizations, all with ownership of this initiative. The new show will combine the unrivaled experience
and recognition of PACK EXPO, Anuga and IDFA to create an event that will be unprecedented in its
ability to address all of the issues facing food and beverage processing operations in the North American
marketplace like sustainability, improved operations and food safety.

Bakers Find New Ways to Respond To Operational Demands &

Consumer Trends at PACK EXPO Las Vegas
Reston, Va.; Sept. 16, 2015 — Research published by Mintel this summer described snacking as a
round-the-clock habit for Americans. While at least 94 percent snack at least once a day (up from 64
percent in 2014), Millennials are apparently the grazing generation, reporting at least four snacks a day.
They’re craving convenience, according to Mintel, in the form of single-serve and reclosable packages.
PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, will open up a wealth of
opportunities for baking-snack brand owners to tackle trends with tools such as automation to improve
productivity, flexibility and efficiency, labeling systems that enhance flexibility and sustainability, and
containers and materials to preserve freshness, reduce waste and enhance branding.
PACK EXPO Las Vegas will host 30,000 attendees and over 2,000 exhibitors in more than 800,000 net
square feet of exhibit space.
“In addition to focusing on consumer trends, baking-snack professionals need to be up to speed on the
Baking–snack manufacturers can start their trip around the show floor in areas like the Processing Zone
Summit Resource Center (Booth S-7632) for the latest on food safety issues and FSMA compliance.
Organized and brought to PACK EXPO Las Vegas by the Food Safety Summit and co-sponsor GE, the
Food Safety Summit Resource Center will be a central location for FSMA experts who will present
educational seminars and be available for one-on-one consultations.
The Baking & Snack Break Lounge (Booth S-7427), hosted by the Biscuit & Cracker Manufacturers’
Association (B&CMA) is a key on-floor destination for strengthening connections. The beauty of this
central meeting point is that bakers and snack manufacturers can network with experts and peers
addressing similar trends and challenges — and find answers, notes Dave Van Laar, president, B&CMA.
“PACK EXPO is a vital part of our outreach to bakers and suppliers,” says Van Laar. “We not only provide
a place for bakers to network, rest and regroup, we’ll also assist many of them in finding solutions to
specific issues.”
B&CMA will host a reception for bakers and snack manufacturers at The Baking & Snack Break Lounge

U.S. Packaging Machinery Market Grows 4.2 Percent in 2014
PACK EXPO Las Vegas, Sept. 28, 2015 — The U.S. packaging machinery market grew 4.2 percent from
2013 to 2014, coming in at $9.41 billion, according to the 2015 PMMI State of the Industry U.S.
Packaging Machinery Report. The report also notes a 4.4 percent increase in domestic shipments, growth
of 1.6 percent in exports and growth of 3.6 percent in imports. The order backlog as of Dec. 31, 2014
decreased by 6.4 percent.

PMMI, The Association for Processing and Packaging Technologies, produces the State of the Industry
Study based on U.S. Census Bureau reports and shipments data provided by association members who
manufacture packaging machinery. The report, which analyzes 27 packaging machinery categories,
describes trends and the outlook for packaging machinery shipments through 2019.
The largest industry sector for packaging machinery is food, but it’s not the fastest growing, the study
reports. That honor goes to the pharmaceuticals sector, which is forecast to grow at a compound annual
growth rate (CAGR) of 2.7 percent to 2019. Behind pharmaceuticals, the forecast for the beverage market
is a 2 percent CAGR.
“This year’s report also addresses the impacts of outside factors, from legislation to retailers to population
growth, on the packaging machinery market,” says Jorge Izquierdo, vice president, market development,
PMMI. “For example, it points to The Drug Quality and Security Act (DQSA), which created a national
regulation for pharmaceutical serialization and track and trace, as the source of the growth we’re seeing
in packaging machinery for the pharmaceutical sector.”
Within the United States, the value of shipments of packaging machinery grew from $7.1 billion to $7.5
billion from 2013 to 2014. Growth is expected to continue at a 1.6 percent CAGR, reaching $8.1 billion by
2019.
PMMI, which owns and produces the PACK EXPO portfolio of trade shows, released the results of the
study this morning in a media briefing at PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma EXPO 2015. With over
2,000 exhibitors in more than 800,000 net square feet of exhibit space, the co-located shows are

PMMI Report Shows Three Common Threads in Global Packaging
Markets
.
PACK EXPO Las Vegas, Sept. 28, 2015 — Consumer trends are impacting packaging markets around
the world, according to "Global Packaging Trends," a new report from PMMI, The Association for
The report shows three influencers making a mark in every region: growing awareness of health and
wellness, recycling and environmental issues, and increasing disposable income and purchasing power.
"These trends are affecting packaging because they're driving consumers' purchasing choices," says
Jorge Izquierdo, vice president, Market Development, PMMI. "Recyclability and reusability of packaging
are dominant trends and we're predicting that will continue to be seen as PET and glass bottle usage
increases."
Packaging markets in the Middle East and Africa are anticipating 5.3 percent CAGR growth in volume, but
forecasts for Western Europe and North America land at the other end of the spectrum, with 0.4 percent
and 0.5 percent, respectively.
The expansion in the Middle East and Africa is the result of increasing exposure to modern lifestyles, and
is manifesting in growth opportunities available for packaging of carbonates, biscuits, and yogurt and sour
milk products. In Asia Pacific, forecast for 4.3 percent CAGR increases in volume, the increasing demand
for PET bottles, particularly in the bottled water category, supports health and wellness concerns.
North America, on the other hand, is a mature market, but consumers are developing growing interest in
several categories. These include healthy categories such as bottled water, and areas of innovation, such
as confectionery.
Globally, the report notes flexible plastic remains the dominant pack type, accounting for 29 percent of the
market, while PET bottles (12 percent of the market) will be among the fastest growing, with 4.7 percent
CAGR. Bottled water is expected to add 135 billion units through 2019, accounting for 54 percent of the
absolute volume growth in PET bottle use. While beverage packaging drives growth in PET and glass,
categories such as confectionery and biscuits prop up flexible packaging use.
PMMI, owner and producer of the PACK EXPO portfolio of trade shows, released the results of the study
this morning at PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma EXPO 2015. With over 2,000 exhibitors in more
than 800,000 net square feet of exhibit space, the co-located shows are welcoming 30,000 attendees to

One-third of end users expect to increase their use of flexible packaging over the next five years
PACK EXPO Las Vegas, Sept. 28, 2015 — A new report from PMMI, The Association for Packaging and
Processing Technologies, finds that the flexible packaging industry — projected to reach $32.7 billion in
2015 — is approaching maturity and can expect to see healthy growth and stability.
The 2015 Flexible Packaging Market Assessment Report draws on in-depth interviews with end users,
materials suppliers and other industry experts who weighed in on the future of flexible packaging.
Over two-thirds (68 percent) of end user companies interviewed expect to purchase new equipment,
modify existing equipment or buy used equipment to accommodate flexible packaging.
Thirty-three percent of end users expect to increase their use of flexible packaging (vs. rigid materials)
over the next five years; however, 61 percent expect the ratio of flexible to rigid packaging to remain the
same during that time frame. In this category, 40 percent of the companies use flexible packaging for
upwards of 90 percent of their products.
Food products use the most flexible packaging, leading all vertical industries with 57 percent usage of
flexible packaging compared to rigid, followed by the pharmaceutical industry at 31 percent. The
beverage industry uses 25 percent flexible packaging, while 2 percent of household products are currently
in flexible packaging.
The promise of cost reductions and greater strides in sustainability remain significant incentives for
consumer goods manufacturers to choose flexible packaging. Downgauging to thinner, lighter packaging
reduces the amount of source materials, and flexible packaging's high product-to-package ratio and light
weight offer allow more units to fit into a shipment and require fewer shipments for the same amount of
product. This reduces shipping costs as well as greenhouse gas emissions.

Fast Changing Consumer Preferences Create Opportunities for

Growth and Innovation
on, Va.; Nov. 24, 2015 — The impact of changing and diversifying consumer demands were key
takeaways from the 2015 State of the Industry: U.S. Packaging Machinery Report, shared by PMMI, The
Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2015. The study
highlighted these shifts toward on-the-go and clean-label products while, more than ever, brand owners
must also tackle the challenges associated with a growing variety of consumer preferences. As these
companies plan ahead for a successful 2016, PMMI provides an unbroken connection among the
processing and packaging communities.
Continuous collaboration between consumer goods manufacturers (CPGs) and technology suppliers is
necessary to speed the implementation of new processing and packaging solutions. The State of the
Industry Report noted that “Improved information on nutrition and growing consumer health
consciousness, coupled with increased travel and busy lifestyles, have driven demand for different
products. This has led to the growth of indulgent yet healthy foods, convenience foods, different portion
sizes (e.g. single-serve packaging), different packaging designs and completely new foods.” Consumers’
demands are pressing the industry for innovative processing and packaging technologies, and they need
them now.
“Speed matters,” says Charles D. Yuska, president and CEO, PMMI. “As the pressure mounts for CPGs
to adapt their operations, immediate access to solutions providers is critical to their success. That’s why it
is our number one priority to connect the makers of goods around the world with the suppliers they rely
on.”
Evolving consumer demands require faster upgrades in innovation and technology on an industry-wide
level. PMMI’s extensive offerings to address these needs fall into three categories: The PACK EXPO
Portfolio of Trade Shows, PMMI Media Group and PMMI Business Drivers, which encompass PMMI’s
collection of market research reports, training opportunities and educational and networking programs.
These three pillars bring the continuously changing processing and packaging industries together to
address the most recent challenges.
“We started this year on the heels of launching PMMI Media Group and continued to see significant
growth with the first edition of PACK EXPO East, the announcement of ProFood Tech and the debut of
Pharma EXPO in Las Vegas,” says Yuska. “We continue to create and nurture spaces in which end users
and suppliers can connect, work together in solving tough challenges and keep manufacturing moving
forward.”

1. Guia Practica para la compra de Maquinas Empacadoras
Principios basicos para valorar la inversion de Equipos de Embalaje y Maquinas Empacadoras
El proceso de empacado consiste en brindar protección y fácil transporte de un determinado producto a través de una envoltura.
Existen varios tipos de empaques como son: principal (contiene el producto para ser pesado o medido), secundario (se desecha al utilizar el producto, por
ejemplo una caja individual) y el empaque de envío (caja utilizada para almacenar y transportar varias unidades). Las decisiones del tipo de empacado se
basan en los factores de costos y producción.
Hoy en día el empaque y el envase desarrollan un rol importante ya que tiene el trabajo de informar y describir su contenido de manera fácil al consumidor
y sobre todo tiene el trabajo de llamar la atención del cliente, permitiendo que solo al mirar el producto el cliente pueda identificarlo inmediatamente,
además debe brindar la seguridad que al ser consumido tendrá un producto fresco, apto para el consumo.
El empacado debe ser original e innovador, de esta manera obtener ventajas con otros productores competidores. Para obtener un buen envase se debe
tomar en cuenta los detalles como son: materiales, forma, colores, anuncio de la marca y diseño gráfico así como también el tamaño. Estos elementos
deben trabajar juntos para respaldar la posición del producto y la estrategia de mercadotecnia. El envase debe ser compatible con la publicidad del
producto, el precio y la distribución.
1.1. TIPO DE MAQUINARIA
La principal clasificación de este tipo de maquinaria se define por el sistema que emplea para determinar la cantidad de producto a ser empacado, el
mismo que puede ser volumétrico o másico.
A continuación se detallan las mencionadas máquinas.
1.1.1. EMPACADORAS VOLUMÉTRICAS
Son utilizadas para manipular granulados, polvo y principalmente líquidos donde el volumen que ocupan éstos es la principal característica para su
comercialización, sin embargo, también puede utilizarse en productos sólidos, disminuyendo la funcionalidad de la máquina, ya que el volumen que puede
ocupar un sólido es sujeto de grandes variaciones dependiendo del proceso de producción.
Este tipo de máquinas cuentan con dispositivos donde almacenan el producto por fracciones de segundos antes de ser empacado, entre los mecanismos
empleados se encuentran moldes extrusores y bandejas con cilindros que se llenan de acuerdo al volumen que se requiera, un aspecto muy importante
es la densidad del producto.
Ventajas
● El sistema de control es menos susceptible de interferencia ya que el volumen del producto es más fácil de instrumentar.
● La instrumentación puede ser menos robusta.
Desventajas
● No garantiza que la cantidad de producto suministrado en lo que se refiere a sólidos.

● Menos versatilidad de la empacadora, se limita las cantidades y el tipo de producto que pudiese empacarse.
1.1.2. EMPACADORAS CON SISTEMA MÁSICO
Estas máquinas basan su sistema de control en el peso del producto, considerado el más fiable, emplea celdas de carga, el control debe ser diseñado
exhaustivamente puesto que el excesivo ruido eléctrico e incluso defectuosos ensambles al originar vibraciones mecánicas pueden causar interferencia.
Ventajas
● Fiabilidad respecto a la dosificación de la cantidad de producto.
● Mayor versatilidad, puesto que pueden empacarse diferentes productos en una misma máquina.
Desventajas
● El sistema de control debe ser más exhaustivo y cuidadoso.
● El ambiente en el que opera la máquina debe ser controlado, debe existir el suficiente aislamiento para evitar interferencia.
1.1.3. EMPACADORAS MULTICABEZAL
La principal característica de este tipo de máquinas es la rapidez de producción, lo que en función de las especificaciones del producto y número de
balanzas o contenedores, suman tanto volúmenes como masas individuales, de acuerdo a las necesidades para empacar el producto. En algunas áreas la
rapidez de producción oscila entre 180 a 200 fundas por minuto.
Ventajas
● Gran velocidad de producción.
● Fácil operación.
Desventajas
● Costos de adquisición elevados.
● Sistema de control complejo por la programación en la suma de producto en cada bandeja individual.
1.3. MÉTODOS DE EMPACADO
El método a empacar depende de la cantidad, volumen, viscosidad. A continuación se detallan los métodos:
1.3.1. EMPACADO VERTICAL
El empacado vertical es un proceso en el que el producto se ubica en una tolva ubicada en la parte superior de la máquina permitiendo de esta
manera que por gravedad el producto caiga para ser empacado y finalmente obtener el producto terminado por la parte inferior. Bonilla (2009, p.4)
Los productos más comunes que utilizan las máquinas de empacado vertical son:
● Arroz
● Granulados
● Sal
● Caramelo en polvo
1.3.2. EMPACADO HORIZONTAL
El proceso de empacado inicia en un lado de la máquina mientras que el producto terminado es despachado por el otro.
Este sistema es utilizado para empacar objetos de forma regular como galletas, chocolates, pasteles, panes, objetos de uso diario, medicamentos,
componentes eléctricos, productos en cajas pequeñas u otros. Las empacadoras horizontales utilizan bandas transportadoras las que ayudan al flujo del
producto desde el ingreso hasta el despacho. Bonilla (2009, p.6 )
1.4. MÉTODOS DE DOSIFICACION
1.4.1. DOSIFICACIÓN VOLUMÉTRICA
La dosificación volumétrica es un método que utiliza moldes para medir la cantidad de producto por unidad de empaque. La dosificadora utiliza un disco
giratorio con varios moldes que distribuyen un volumen de producto constante. Este tipo de dosificación es utilizado con productos granulares no pegajosos
como caramelos, harinas, etc.
1.4.2. POR TORNILLO
El método más común para la dosificación de productos en polvo como harina, azúcar, condimentos, leche en polvo, bebidas instantáneas, etc., es el
dosificador por tornillo. Este tipo de dosificador es volumétrico y consiste en una tolva de forma cónica con un tornillo que al girar dosifica el producto en el
empaque.
1.4.3. POR TIEMPO
Para este control se utiliza generalmente variadores de velocidad que tienen un buen comportamiento para trabajo intermitente por periodos cortos de
tiempo. La variación de peso que se obtiene con este sistema de dosificación está en un rango aceptable para la mayor parte de productos que utilizan.
1.4.4. DOSIFICACIÓN POR PESO
La dosificación por peso se realiza utilizando celdas de carga. Uno de los más comunes es el sistema multicabezal. Un algoritmo computacional realiza el
cálculo de los pesos y libera el producto de las celdas cuyo peso combinado sea aproximado al requerido. Este sistema es utilizado para empacar galletas,
confites, nueces, maní, frutas secas, semillas, chocolate, cereales, etc.
1.5. TÉCNICAS DE SELLADO
El proceso de sellado del papel de empaque se determina según el producto que se desee empacar. Los diferentes procesos de sellado más utilizados se
detallan a continuación:
1.5.1. CALOR
Este proceso de sellado es el más utilizado a nivel industrial debido a su facilidad de implementación, manejo y sobre todo su costo con
referencia a otros procesos de sellado.
Este consiste en utilizar la presión para unir al material del empacado, luego la fundición del material a una determinada temperatura y tiempo. El papel de
empaque es sellado de acuerdo al tipo de producto a empacar. Ovelma (2013, p.1)
1.5.2. ULTRASONIDO
El sellado por ultrasonido es un proceso sumamente complejo que consiste en generar vibración sobre las moléculas del material a empacar a
través del ultrasonido, esto produce un movimiento de las moléculas y a su vez genera calor, finalmente se encarga de realizar la fusión del material y por
lo tanto el empaque. Foro electrónica (2000, p.1)
1.6. MATERIALES UTILIZADOS EN LA INDUSTRIA
1.6.1. ACERO AISI - SAE 1045
Este acero se utilizada cuando la resistencia y dureza son necesarias en condición de suministro. Es un acero medio carbono que se lo puede
forjar con martillo. Responde favorablemente al tratamiento térmico y al endurecimiento por llama o inducción, no es recomendado para cementación o

CAPÍTULO 2
2. DIAGNÓSTICO DE LA SITUACIÓN ACTUAL
2.1. PANELA GRANULADA
La situación actual de la elaboración del producto sigue siendo la que se ha transmitido de generación en generación, es decir de manera artesanal; de
la misma forma los métodos para la comercialización, lo que causa una pérdida en el mercado ya que no se generan nuevos consumidores.
En la actualidad la empresa panelera busca aumentar la producción y aceptación, ya no solo busca realizar los llamados “bancos de panela”, sino que han
invertido para contar con hornos de secado y tamizadoras de panela y de esta manera obtener la panela granulada que ha tenido una mayor aceptación
del consumidor.
2.2. PROCESO DE ELABORACIÓN
2.2.1. CORTE Y TRANSPORTE DE LA CAÑA DE AZÚCAR
Para obtener una panela de calidad se debe corta la caña cuando ya esté madura. El tiempo que se demora la caña para madurar y estar en óptima
producción es de 1 a 2 años, antes de este tiempo se encuentra tierna y luego se produce una disminución de los azucares, es decir, pierde su poder
endulzante aunque este factor depende también del proceso de cultivo.
El medio para el cultivo o corte de la caña se realizaba de manera empírica, en determinados lugares se está usando tecnologías para
determinar la madures mediante un analizador de grados Brix a lo largo del tallo de la caña. Se utiliza un refractómetro para conocer el contenido de azúcar
en la caña, en el cual se coloca una gota de jugo en el aparato y se lee en una escala graduada la cantidad de sólidos solubles que hay en el jugo (Grados
Brix). Agroindustrias (2001,p.2).
2.2.2. EXTRACCIÓN DE JUGOS.
La caña cortada es transportada al trapiche, en este lugar se encuentra un molino el que es accionado por un motor que mueve un eje,
paralelamente a este
se encuentra otro eje, la distancia entre ejes tiene una trayecto aproximada de 2cm aquí se introducen las cañas, al pasar por aquí y estar presionados por
los ejes el jugo es extraído.
Posteriormente el jugo es trasportado por diferentes estaciones de filtrado, donde son eliminadas la mayoría de impurezas como son: restos de caña,
bagazo, tierra y demás impurezas que están en la caña al momento de la cosecha, dejando listo el jugo para la evacuación de desperdicios potabilizando y
listo para la siguiente etapa; el desperdicio o bagazo es usado como combustible para la hornilla. Agroindustrias (2009, p.2)
2.2.3. CLARIFICACIÓN DE LOS JUGOS DE CAÑA
Figura 2.1. Clarificantes naturales yausavara

Fuente: http://repositorio.utn.edu.ec/handle/123456789/99
En esta etapa el jugo de caña ha sido trasportado a los diferentes compartimentos de cocción donde se eliminará el agua dejando un
jugo puro.
En este proceso el jugo se calienta un estimado de 50 - 55oC donde aún se
sigue extrayendo distintas impurezas, el jugo permanece un estimado de 20 a 30 minutos. Aquí paneleros adicionan cal o yausavara (planta nativa usada
como clarificante natural) generalmente en el medio ocupan únicamente la yausavara con el fin de hacer una producción de panela más pura.
Agroindustrias (2001, p.3)
2.2.4. EVAPORACIÓN DE LOS JUGOS DE CAÑA
Figura 2.2. Evaporación de los jugos de caña (Otavalillo)

El calor es aprovechado básicamente en el cambio de fase del agua (líquido a vapor), eliminándose cerca del 90% del agua presente.
En esta etapa el jugo se encuentra en la segunda paila, aquí se calienta y comienza la evaporación del agua, su proceso de cocción demora de 10 a 15
minutos. En el cambio de proceso de líquido a gaseoso se forma una especie de espuma llamada otavalillo la cual es apetecida por trabajadores y
extraños.
Posteriormente se pasa a la tercera paila, aquí se eleva el contenido de azúcar en el jugo de 20% hasta un 86% en promedio, los trabajadores aseguran
que en esta etapa el jugo tiene tanta concentración de azúcar que pasa a un estado amargo. Este procedimiento es importante ya que si se tiene muchos
azúcares reductores, afectan la consistencia final de la panela incluso hasta impedir su cristalización.
En este proceso la panela se encuentra en constantemente movimiento con el fin de evitar que se queme y posteriormente agregar más clarificantes
contaminantes o en caso extremo tener que desechar todo el jugo transformado en miel.
La panela en la tercera paila pasa aproximadamente 10 minutos dependiendo de la temperatura de la hornilla.
2.2.5. PUNTEO
En esta etapa la panela ha pasado a la cuarta y última paila, aquí se debe tener mucho cuidado y evitar que por un error o descuido se queme y se pierda
la producción y los esfuerzo de las etapas anteriores.
El trabajador generalmente saca la miel a un recipiente cuando la miel no corre y parece que hierve sobre la paila que se usa para menearlo o cuando al
batir la miel en el aíre se forma una bomba.
La temperatura aquí es mayor a los 100oC, el jugo en esta etapa tiene una gran
viscosidad, este proceso dura aproximado de 7 a 10 min.
2.2.6. BATIDO Y ENFRIAMIENTO
En esta etapa se lleva la miel a un recipiente llamado batea el que no se encuentra en contacto con la hornilla, aquí se procede a batir hasta que la miel
se transforme en panela, es decir, se bate hasta que la miel deje de pegarse sobre las espátulas mezcladoras
Este proceso dura aproximadamente de 15 a 20 minutos.
Aquí se tiene lista la panela, para realizar la granulación se procede a aplastar y romper los trozos grandes de panela en más pequeños.
2.2.7. GRANULACIÓN Y SECADO DE LA PANELA
En esta etapa se procede a aplastar y trasformar los trozos de panela en más pequeñas antes que su enfriamiento sea total y evitando también que se
forme una masa.
Luego se tiene lista la panela pero en trozos aún grandes para el consumo, por tal razón se llevan los trozos a una tamizadora (sistema de cernido), en el
que la granulación es apta y presentable para consumo humano.
Posteriormente se procede a quita la humedad de la panela en hornos, los que se encuentran de 60 a 70oC, aquí se cocina y finalmente esta lista para ser
pesada y empacada.
2.2.8. PESADO MANUAL
Actualmente el pesado de la panela granulada se está realizando manualmente, es decir, utilizando un material de empaque y una balanza.
La panela una vez tamizada y secada está lista y es transportada para su pesado y posterior empaque, la persona encargada del pesado toma cierta
cantidad de panela, introduce sobre el material de empaque y va aumentando o reduciendo la cantidad según sea el requerimiento, este proceso se realiza
a la intemperie teniendo mayor riesgo a proliferación de bacterias.
La mayor deficiencia es que para encontrar la medición correcta el personal encargado del pesaje realiza muchos movimientos para aumentar o disminuir
la cantidad de panela teniendo así mayor retraso en la producción.
A continuación se muestra una tabla de las variaciones en las prenetaciones de panela granulada.

Luego de realizar la tabulación se logró determinar que el error promedio en la producción de panela granulada es del 2.7435%, este porcentaje será
un parámetro que se deberá considerar y disminuir en la construcción de la máquina.
CAPÍTULO 3
3. ESTUDIO Y SELECCIÓN DE ALTERNATIVA MÁS ADECUADA
3.1. INTRODUCCIÓN
El diseño mecánico de la máquina será una parte fundamental para el buen funcionamiento ya que está compuesto de distintas estructuras, las mismas
que actuaran en secuencia y un mal dimensionamiento o diseño de alguna de éstas afectará a todo el proceso.
La panela granulada será la materia prima, esta posee altos niveles de adherencia por lo que es conveniente evacuarla rápida y completamente. El
soporte deberá resistir a la panela y reducir las oscilaciones de la estructura para así reducir un cálculo erróneo en las celdas de carga.
Una importante consideración para el diseño será la del espacio físico que se dispone para la estructura de la máquina.
La máquina será capaz de producir un pesaje de 60 unidades tanto en presentaciones de 1lb como de 1 kg.
El control se realizará mediante un sistema electro-neumático controlado por un PLC (Controlador Lógico Programable) y variadores de velocidad para los
motores.
De igual manera ésta máquina cumplirá con las normas legales, de seguridad e higiene.
Las partes mecánicas que se construirán e implementaran son:
● Sistema Dosificador.
● Sistema Formador de Funda.
● Sistema de Arrastre de Papel.
● Sistema de Almacenamiento de Panela.
● Sistema de Compuerta de Distribución.
● Sistema Pesado.
Una vez determinados los parámetros mecánicos se debe tener en cuenta los parámetros de diseño, los escogidos son:
Eficiencia.- Este parámetro se ha tomado en cuenta ya que la máquina debe trabajar como conjunto debiéndose adaptar una pieza exactamente a la otra
teniendo en cuenta que es un proceso continuo y si un elemento falla o no se acopla a todo el diseño se produce un retraso en la producción.
Manufactura.-Este aspecto es muy importante ya que si la pieza seleccionada es muy difícil o rara de manufacturar en el país, en el momento que ésta
necesite un cambio será más difícil encontrarla y por lo tanto la producción se detendrá por más tiempo significando esto pérdidas considerables.
Reemplazo de Componentes.- Se decidió tomar en cuenta este parámetro ya que al momento que un componente de los que se seleccionaron necesite
mantenimiento o falla, su desmontaje y cambio deberá ser rápido, considerando que al trabajar en la industria alimenticia el producto no puede estar
mucho tiempo en contacto al medio ambiente.
Costo.- Quizá es el factor más importante en la máquina ya que no solo se debe tomar en cuenta en el diseño sino en el mantenimiento y operación.
Se debe tomar en cuenta el Costo vs Beneficio y construir una máquina que pueda competir con las ya existentes, es decir de menor valor pero de
características similares.
En la siguiente tabla se muestra como establecer las prioridades en el diseño basándose en “El Método de Criterios Ponderados”, el que menciona una
confrontación entre cada parámetro con los restantes.
Se asignará el valor de 1 en el cuadro cuando el parámetro que se encuentra en la fila sea superior al que se encuentra en el de la columna, el valor de
0,5 en el cuadro que el parámetro que se encuentra en la fila sea igual al que se encuentra en el de la columna y el valor de 0 en el cuadro en que el

3.1. SISTEMA DOSIFICADOR
Dosificar es llenar cada uno de los envases con la misma cantidad de producto.
3.1.1. DOSIFICACIÓN POR VOLUMEN
PRIMERA ALTERNATIVA
así se disminuye la función de la máquina, ya que en un sólido el volumen tiene grandes variaciones dependiendo del proceso de producción.
Esta máquina posee una estructura de almacenamiento (tolva) la que mantiene al producto justo antes del almacenamiento,
debajo de la misma se
encuentra un plato con los vasos de distribución accionados por un motor el que puede variar su velocidad y por lo tanto la producción. Ortiz (pág. 292)
Ventajas
El sistema de control con menor error ya que no existen factores externos que impidan la dosificación.
● Eficiencia aceptable ya que tiene varios vasos en un mismo plato giratorio.
● Fácil Manufactura.
Desventajas
● Retraso en la producción al cambiar el tipo de envase para la dosificación.

● Menos versatilidad de la máquina ya que se limita al tipo de producto que pudiese empacarse.
● Costo elevado de materiales y mano de obra, tamaño considerable.
3.1.2. DOSIFICACIÓN POR TIEMPO
SEGUNDA ALTERNATIVA
La principal característica de este tipo de máquinas es la rapidez de producción, empleada principalmente en el área de snacks en dosificaciones de 30gr.
la rapidez de producción oscila entre 180 a 200 fundas por minuto.
Esta máquina utiliza la gravedad, el producto almacenado en la tolva desciende a un tubo de dosificación directamente utilizando para el control variadores
de velocidad que tienen un buen comportamiento para trabajo intermitente por periodos cortos de tiempo. La variación de peso que se obtiene con este
sistema de dosificación está en un rango aceptable para la mayor parte de productos que lo utilizan.
Ventajas
Desventajas
● Sistema de control complejo en la programación y calibración.
3.1.3. DOSIFICACIÓN POR TORNILLO

3.2. SISTEMA DE ARRASTRE DE PAPEL
Aquí se puede determinar el sistema que va a utilizar para deslizar el papel de empaque.
El material para el empacado se ubica generalmente en la parte trasera de la máquina, el mismo que es guiado hasta el formador por rodillos; la
principal función de estos es tener tensado el papel y así evitar arrugas y desalineaciones al momento de llegar al siguiente proceso.
Para que el papel siga un proceso continuo es necesario aplicar una tracción de arrastre, es decir estirar el papel para que cuando una funda esté
concluida de manera inmediata pase a la siguiente etapa.
3.2.1. ARRASTRE POR TORNILLOS
PRIMERA ALTERNATIVA
Este arrastre se realiza uniendo los rodillos al tubo formador los que son activados por un motor controlado por un variador de velocidad o por un
motoreductor.
Los rodillos deberán estar con una cubierta antideslizante sea esta de caucho o silicón con el fin de no perder tracción y evitar desalineamientos.
Ventajas
● Facilidad de manufactura.
● Fácil de desmontar
● Evita errores de tracción
Desventajas
● Costo elevado.
● Área de contacto mínima con el papel de empaque.
● Puede dañar al papel de empaque si existe mucha fricción al momento de estirar.

3.2.2. ARRASTRE POR MECANISMO DE SELLADO
SEGUNDA ALTERNATIVA
Este sistema se ubica junto a las mordazas de sellado horizontal, es decir, una vez que el papel este en posición, las mordazas horizontales sellan con un
mecanismo que es activado por un pistón, mientras éste se encuentre abierto sellará y cuando cambie de efecto ha cerrado, el mecanismo sujeto a ejes
arrastra el papel, durante este proceso las mordazas se abren y cortan el papel de empaque estando listas para un nuevo ciclo.
Ventajas
● Vida útil corta.
● Realización de dos procesos a la vez, sellado y arrastre del papel.
Desventajas
● Construcción difícil.
● Sincronización compleja de todo el sistema.
● Constante mantenimiento debido a la fricción que se genera en los dos sistemas.

3.2.3. ARRASTRE POR BANDAS
TERCERA ALTERNATIVA
Este arrastre es similar al de rodillos con la diferencia que las bandas ahora ocupan una mayor superficie de contacto con el papel evitando así la presión
en una sola zona y evitando dañar al papel.
Este proceso se realiza utilizando un motor controlado por un variador de velocidad o por un moto reductor los mismos que deberán tener engranajes para
acoplar a las cadenas de distribución antideslizantes.
Ventajas
● Fácil de desmontar.
● Evita errores de tracción.
● Contacto con la superficie a arrastrar.
Desventajas
● Costo elevado.
● Dificultad de controlar y calibrar.

La altura del espacio físico donde reposara la máquina será de 4m, es decir, que la altura máxima de la máquina será de 3m para que exista facilidad al
momento de distribuir la materia prima a la tolva.
La cantidad de panela que podrá ser empacada depende de la producción diaria de la empresa que es de 1200kg.
El operario cada 4 horas tendrá que retirar una parada de panela de 200kg que es la producción máxima, se estima un secado en los hornos mínimo de 4
horas.
3.4.1. TOLVA CUADRADA
PRIMERA ALTERNATIVA

3.5. SISTEMA DE LA COMPUERTA DE DISTRIBUCIÓN
La compuerta de distribución instalada en la salida de la tolva es una estructura que sirve de conexión con los diferentes procesos del pesado por lo que
ésta debe tener un correcto aislamiento para no interrumpir en el proceso o peor aún en contaminación de la panela.
La eficacia de una compuerta está dada en su capacidad de sellar y cortar rápidamente el paso de la panela granulada y a la vez tener una apertura
suave y que pueda ayudar a una dosificación graduada en complemento con el giro del tornillo sin fin y así tener un menor desgaste mecánico de la
estructura metálica debido a grandes golpes o sacudones.
3.5.1. APERTURA NEUMÁTICA
PRIMERA ALTERNATIVA
Se aplica a sistemas autómatas, la apertura es automática e inmediata, no es recomendada a altas presiones ya que las bisagras de la compuerta estarían
sometidas a grandes presiones y reducirían su vida útil.
Su funcionamiento es mediante un cilindro neumático de doble efecto el mismo que es adaptado en el extremo de la compuerta permitiendo en un estado
abrir y en el otro cerrar la compuerta. El cilindro está controlado desde un PLC, éste ordena a la electroválvula abrir o cerrar al cilindro.
Ventajas
● Apertura inmediata.
● Facilidad en el cambio de la pieza.
● Fácil Manufacturación.
Desventajas
● Costo Elevado.
3.5.2. APERTURA NEUMÁTICA DESLIZANTE
SEGUNDA ALTERNATIVA
El sistema de apertura puede soportar mayores presiones al tener un apoyo fijo para la compuerta.
Este sistema acopla al vástago del cilindro neumático a un extremo de la compuerta y ésta a su vez se encuentra en dos encarriladores que ayudan a que
no se produzca una desalineación y soportar presiones altas.
Ventajas
● Soporta presiones altas.
● Fácil desmontaje.
Desventajas
● Mucha fricción por tanto constante mantenimiento y lubricación.
● Costo Elevado.

CAPÍTULO 4
4. DISEÑO, CÁLCULO Y SELECCIÓN DE ELEMENTOS MECÁNICOS

Luego de seleccionar la alternativa más adecuada en el capítulo anterior se procede a detallar las alternativas seleccionadas ya que estas permitirán el
funcionamiento eficiente de la máquina, cabe mencionar que estas alternativas resultaron después de agotar una serie de opciones incorrectas.
4.1. CÁLCULO DE LA TOLVA
Partiendo de la fórmula: =
Dónde:
V = Volumen total
d= densidad del producto
M= masa del producto
4.1.1. DENSIDAD DE LA PANELA
En la etapa final de la elaboración de la panela (batido) las mieles son agitadas, cuando se ha alcanzado el punto y son sacadas de la hornilla, para
cambiar la textura y estructura con el fin de hacerles perder su capacidad de adherencia.
En un recipiente llamado “batea” con la panela en estado líquido es atendida por obreros llamados batidores, quienes agitan constantemente mediante una
especie de grandes espátulas llamadas "mecedores", con el tiempo el producto se va aclarando, luego parece que fuera a hervir y finalmente se seca. Este
proceso es un agitado intensivo e intermitente de las mieles durante unos 10 a 15 minutos.
Al contacto con aire, los cristales de la sacarosa crecen en las mieles, adquiriendo porosidad y al enfriarse se convierten en un sólido compacto, llamado
panela; la
densidad de las mieles baja de 1.5 a 1.34 en la panela. Silos (2007, pág. 60)
d 1.34 1340
4.1.2. MASA DE PANELA
La máquina trabajará según las exigencias de la empresa que son empacar 200kg/h cada cuatro horas, es decir la tolva tendrá una capacidad de
200kg.

Cálculo para el cilindro
Debido al espacio físico se tomará un valor aleatorio de la altura del cilindro de la tolva de 0.60cm ya que esta sumada el valor de la parte inclinada del
cilindro irá sobre la estructura de la máquina y la altura total no deberá sobrepasar los 3m.
Para seleccionar el valor de inicio del diámetro superior del cilindro se tomará aleatoriamente para posteriormente comprobar si todos los valores de los
distintos parámetros se ajustan a los valores aleatorios, caso contrario se cambiará el valor aleatorio de altura o diámetro o los dos. Con lo antes expuesto
se ha tomado un valor aleatorio de diámetro 0.50m.

Nota: empleando los valores escogidos aleatoriamente se ha obtenido resultados que se han acoplado a los límites del diseño por lo que se puede afirmar
que son correctos.
Cálculo de la Tolva
Para el diseño de la tolva en la parte inferior de la misma manera se debe emplear un valor aleatorio acorde a los valores del espacio físico y sobre todo
con los que anteriormente se habían utilizado, se tiene:

obtiene la altura final del depósito para la panela.
La comprobación que los cálculos son los correctos es demostrar si el ángulo de inclinación de la tolva es mayor a 25, significa que el producto puede
deslizarse con facilidad. A continuación se realiza el cálculo del ángulo.

4.1.4. SELECCIÓN DE METAL PARA LA ELABORACIÓN DE LA TOLVA
El material seleccionado fue el acero AISI 304, ya que para trabajar con alimentos en el país únicamente existen dos tipos de aceros que son
el AISI 314 y el AISI 304 siendo el último el más común y por lo tanto el más económico.
Éste acero se puede encontrar en grosores que van desde 1mm, Se seleccionó el de 2mm de grosor ya que el proceso de soldadura en el caso de la de
1mm es de mayor complejidad y con mayor índice de error, en el de 2mm se puede realizar la soldadura por el interior y exterior de la tolva. Goodfellow
(2008, p.1)
4.1.5. CÁLCULO DE MOTOR PARA LA DOSIFICACIÓN DE LA PANELA
Considerando un factor de servicio del motor de 2,5 por las constantes aceleración y un rendimiento de un 80% se tiene la siguiente ecuación:
El motor que se seleccionará será uno de 0.5 hp ya que no existe uno de la magnitud dimensionada, se aproxima al inmediato superior que existe en el
mercado.
4.2. SISTEMA DE DOSIFICACIÓN
El material seleccionado es el mismo de la tolva.
Teniendo en cuenta que la dimensión de salida de la tolva que tiene un diámetro de 0.1m se ha tomado en cuenta los siguientes factores:
● Evitar que la panela granulada tenga contacto con elementos mecánicos como rodamientos, que el deslazamiento sea más friccionado.
● Tratar que la panela granulada tenga el menor contacto con el medio ambiente.
● Evitar desperdicio del material que es acero inoxidable ya que su valor económico en el medio es costoso, para obtener una factibilidad
aceptable.
● Facilidad de dar mantenimiento y reemplazo de elementos.
● Facilidad de limpieza.
Una vez dados los factores a tomar en cuenta se propone una compuerta tipo válvula de alivio la misma que constará de las siguientes partes:
1. Es un cuello de recepción el mismo que irá acoplado a la tolva evitando el desperdicio de panela.
2. Es la parte de la válvula de alivio que se encargue de guiar la compuerta y tendrá la función de carcasa protectora, evitando el contacto al
medio ambiente, al final constará de dos topes soldados, los que se instalarán por seguridad para evitar deformación de la válvula.
3. Es la lámina de sellado de la válvula, misma que estará accionada por un cilindro neumático.
4. Es un tubo de comunicación entre el sistema de distribución y el sistema de pesaje.
Nota: Las medidas de este sistema están en el plano de la máquina.
4.2.1. SELECCIÓN DE UN CILINDRO NEUMÁTICO PARA LA COMPUERTA DE DISTRIBUCIÓN.
Para la selección se debe tomar en cuenta los aspectos siguientes:
● La fuerza con la que debe trabajar el cilindro.
● Presión de trabajo del compresor a utilizar, en este caso fue destinado por la empresa es uno de 2 HP y 120 PSI, que cumple con los requerimientos
del sistema.
● La fuerza de rozamiento para el compresor detallado anteriormente puede ir de 3% a 20%, se tomó un rozamiento del 10%
Cálculo de la fuerza.
En la tolva actúan fuerzas una de empuje hacia abajo que es la del peso de 200Kg y dos en respuesta la que actúa para tener cerrada la compuerta y una
de rozamiento.
Ecuación 4.15
F F- + F Neumática (2009, p.1 )
F F − F-
Dónde:
Fc = Fuerza que necesita la compuerta. F = Fuerza que ejerce

la panela.
Fr = Fuerza de rozamiento que hace la panela sobre las paredes de la tolva y evita su descenso brusco, éste se podrá ver en las siguientes
tablas, dependiendo de la densidad, en este caso se encuentra entre la clase 4 y 5, por lo tanto se seleccionará la clase 5, que será de 0.65.
Reemplazando en la ecuación 4.15 los valores de las tablas 1 y 2 se tiene:
F F − F-
F 200kg − MF ∗ uQ
F 200Kg − M200kg ∗ .65Q F 200kg − 130kg =

F =70kg F Fn
Con los resultados obtenidos se aplica en la fórmula de neumática:

Ecuación 4.16
Fl MA ∗ PQ − Fr Neumática (2009, p. 1) Dónde:
Fn = Fuerza neumática necesaria. A= Área del émbolo

P= Presión promedio a utilizar se utilizó 90 = 6.2 bares
Fr = Fuerza de rozamiento en el cilindro va de 3 a 20% de la fuerza en este diseño se ha considerado una fuerza de rozamiento de 10%
Reemplazando los valores obtenidos en la Ecuación 4.16

70 MA ∗ 6.2baresQ − M70 ∗ 0.1Q
Ecuación 4.17
z { ∗+ Neumática (2009, p. 1)
|
En la selección del cilindro neumático se elegirá uno de 4cm de diámetro ya que en el mercado no existe del diámetro calculado, la carrera será de 10 cm
ya que es la distancia del diámetro inferior de la tolva.
4.3. MATERIAL DEL SISTEMA DE PESAJE
Al ser la tolva del acero AISI 304 que es el óptimo para alimentos y al ser común en el país, se escogió el mismo material para el sistema de pesaje.
4.3.1. SISTEMA DE PESAJE
Este cajón será el encargado de sostener la panela para su pesaje una vez que caiga de la tolva y pase por el sistema de distribución.
Para dimensionar éste sistema se debe tomar en cuenta los siguientes aspectos:
● La masa máxima que debe entrar en el sistema sobredimensionado para que entre el 150% es decir 1.5kg.
● Las dimensiones serán tales que concuerden con la salida del sistema de distribución, entrada sistema de pesaje mayor al sistema de
distribución.
● Las dimensiones serán tales que concuerden con el tubo dosificador, entrada al tubo dosificador mayor a la salida sistema de pesaje.
● Evitar desperdicio del material que es acero inoxidable ya que su valor económico en el medio es costoso.
● Mantener la tendencia de los sistemas anteriores que son cilíndricos. Tomando en cuenta los aspectos anteriormente detallados
se tiene:
Utilizando la Ecuación 4.1 se tiene:

Una vez detallados los factores a tomar en cuenta se propone una compuerta tipo válvula de alivio la misma que constará de las siguientes partes:
Será un cuello de recepción el mismo que irá acoplado a la salida del sistema dosificador evitando el desperdicio de panela.
1. Cilindro de admisión.
2. La parte de la válvula de alivio que se encargue de guiar la compuerta y tendrá la función de carcasa protectora, evitando el contacto al medio
ambiente. Al final constará de dos topes soldados. Los mismos que se instalarán por seguridad para evitar una deformación de la válvula.
3. La lámina de sellado de la válvula, que estará accionada por un cilindro neumático.
4. Una reducción de la salida del sistema de pesado ya que el sistema de despacho de panela debe ser de diámetro menor ya que únicamente
sirve como transportador de la panela a su envase y de esta manera se ahorra en material mejorando la factibilidad.
5. Un tubo de comunicación entre el sistema de pesado y el sistema de despacho.
Cabe destacar que debajo de la parte 3 de este sistema estarán colocadas las celdas de carga las mismas que estarán unidas a la estructura de la
máquina.
4.3.2. SELECCIÓN DE UN CILINDRO NEUMÁTICO PARA EL SISTEMA DE PESAJE.
del sistema.
El sistema estará soportando un peso de 1.5 kg máximo de panela más el del metal utilizado para el sistema; ya que los sensores de peso se ubicarán bajo
la estructura.
Tomando en cuenta las fuerzas que son la de panela F1= 1.5kg y la de la estructura del sistema F2= 2kg, la fuerza total será Fn = 3.5 kg.
En la selección del cilindro neumático se seleccionará uno de 3.2cm de diámetro ya que en el mercado no existe del diámetro calculado, la carrera será de
20 cm que es la distancia para montar la estructura.
4.4. SISTEMA DE DESPACHO
Al ser la tolva del acero AISI 304 que es el óptimo para alimentos y ser el más común en el país. El cuello formador y el tubo dosificador también serán de
ese material.
4.4.1. TUBO DISTRIBUIDOR
Factores a tomar en cuenta para el diseño para el diseño del tubo dosificador:
● Ancho total del papel de empaque 0.40m.
● Tomar en cuenta el sellado vertical, por lo que se designará un centímetro a cada extremo del tubo siendo este en total 0.02m.
● El largo será capaz de permitir que la funda se forme y posteriormente sea sellada horizontalmente en este.
● Debe estar sobre el nivel del cuello formador se adicionarán 3cm en esta parte.
● Las dimensiones serán tales que concuerden con la salida del sistema de pesaje, entrada del tubo dosificador mayor que la salida del sistema de
pesaje.
Con lo antes mencionado se tiene que:

La medida del diámetro obtenida es 0.12m para acoplarle al sistema de pesaje se aumentará y su diámetro final será 0.14m.
4.4.2. CUELLO FORMADOR
Factores a tomar en cuenta para el diseño del cuello formador:
● Ancho total del papel de empaque, diámetro 0,4m; por tal motivo la parte del cuello formador será de mayor longitud para que el papel calce por
completo en la entrada al cuello formador.
● El cuello una vez que tenga el ingreso de material de empaque, hará un molde para que dé horizontal pase al cilíndrico ayudado por un separador el
mismo que servirá para dejar papel para el sellado vertical.
● No tener partes cortantes que afecten al papel.
4.5. SISTEMA ARRASTRE DE MATERIAL DE EMPAQUE
Este sistema tendrá rodillos montados sobre ejes los mismos que trasladarán el movimiento del motor mediante poleas.
Para el diseño tomará en cuenta los factores siguientes:
● El movimiento de los ejes deberá ser contrario (sin un eje gira a la derecha el otro lo hará hacia la izquierda).
● Se trasladará el movimiento del motor a un eje mediante poleas.
● El eje que tenga la movilidad trasmitirá su movimiento al otro eje con poleas en forma de 8 o cruzadas.
● El material de los rodillos deberá ser no dañino ni tóxico.
● Los ejes de transmisión serán de acero 705.
● El motor deberá estar a una distancia prudente del papel de empaque.
● Los ejes se sujetaran sobre chumaceras inoxidables. Teniendo en cuenta los datos anteriormente
detallados se tiene:
1. Rodillo el mismo que se maquinará en caucho por su coeficiente alto de rozamiento.

2. Las chumaceras inoxidables que sostendrán el eje (se adquirirán de acuerdo al diámetro del eje que se calcule posteriormente).
3. Una polea la que transmitirá por medio de bandas el movimiento del motor (se adquirirán de acuerdo al diámetro del eje que se calcule
posteriormente y el tipo de banda que se seleccione).
4. Eje de transmisión de acero 705 de 1 pulgada, este dará movimiento a los rodillos.
El motor que se seleccionará será uno de 0.5 hp ya que no existe uno de la magnitud que dimensionamos por lo que se aproxima a un superior que exista
en el mercado.
4.5.1. DISEÑO DEL EJE PARA EL SISTEMA DE ARRASTRE
● Para el cálculo del eje se utilizará los valores antes obtenidos, teniendo en cuenta que al traspasar el torque del motor a la polea se forman fuerzas
radiales en (z) y tangenciales en (y).
● Estas fuerzas influirán también en el rodamiento para el cual dependiendo de la fuerza se calculará.
● El segundo rodamiento de igual manera tendrá cargas tangenciales en (y) y radiales en (z), ya que únicamente el eje rodará sin una fuerza de
empuje en (x).
● Fuerza de arrastre del material, al arrastrar el material la fuerza se trasmite y se divide a cada polea, en este caso son 2 se divide para 2 fuerzas
tangenciales (y) al eje. F= 2 Fpol; siendo F la fuerza del motor y Fpol la fuerza de las poleas de arrastre.
Teniendo en cuenta los parámetros antes mencionados se tiene:

Esta será la fuerza trasmitida del motor a la polea, la misma que se descompondrá en sus componentes de influencia. Para la carga tangencial del
engranaje se reemplaza los datos obtenidos en la ecuación siguiente.
Al tener descompuestas las fuerzas que actúan sobre la polea se procede a determinar los valores que actuarán sobre los rodillos.
Para lo cual se determina que:
● La carga tangencial aplicada a la polea es la que da movimiento al eje, por tanto, será la fuerza que se tomará como válida para realizar la
descomposición de la fuerzas en los rodillos.
● Ésta será la fuerza trasmitida del motor a la polea, la misma que se descompondrá en sus componentes de influencia. Para la carga tangencial del
engranaje reemplazamos los datos obtenidos en la ecuación siguiente.
● El torque será igual en la polea y en rodillo de trasferencia.
Ésta será la fuerza que se ha trasmitido al rodillo, la misma que se descompondrá en sus componentes de influencia. Para la carga tangencial del rodillo se
remplaza los datos obtenidos en la ecuación siguiente.
Una vez encontrados los valores de las fuerzas que actuarán sobre el eje se procede hacer sumatoria de fuerzas y encontrar las que actuarán sobre los
rodamientos, teniendo en cuenta que la polea estará al inicio del eje en el punto C, los rodamientos estarán ubicados a 15 cm en el punto A y otro a 30cm
del inicio del eje en el punto B, finalmente el rodillo de trasferencia de movimiento a 40cm en el punto D.
Teniendo los valores de las fuerzas que actúan sobre el eje, mediante un software se calculará los valores de las fuerzas en los rodamientos y momentos.
Realizando el análisis en el plano Y se tiene:

Una vez obtenidos los diagramas de momentos flectores se selecciona un material para el eje, en este caso será el AISI 1018 que posee las características
siguientes:
En el primer diámetro no existe un momento de torsión ni de flexión pero si actúan las fuerzas tangenciales (Wt) y radiales (Wr) que son las que se tomará.
Se utiliza Kt= 2.5 porque se usa un escalón agudo.
4.6. CÁLCULO DE LA ESTRUCTURA DE LA MÁQUINA
Para este cálculo de la estructura se procede a seleccionar los parámetros que son:
● Las columnas serán excéntricas ya que se aplican cargas fuera del eje centroidal de la sección transversal de la columna.
● Los extremos son Empotrados-Libres con K de 2.0 para valores teóricos y de 2.1 para valores prácticos, en este diseño se escogerá el
de 2.1. Mott (2006, pág. 234)
● Al observar el tamaño de la tolva se propone utilizar para la estructura un tubo cuadrado de 2 pulgadas hecho de acero AISI 1020
● Serán cuatro columnas de 1.20 m o 47.24 pulgadas de largo.
Con los parámetros antes mencionados, la ecuación para poder ver si el tubo que se seleccionó soportará la carga a la que estará sometido es la
siguiente:
Generadores de carga Carga Aproximada
Panela 200 kg
Tolva 15 kg
Sistema de arrastre y dosificación 35 kg
Sistema de sellado 20 kg
Banda transportadora 15 kg
Tablero de control 15 kg
Motores 30kg
Total 330 kg = 726 lb
105
4.7. TORNILLO SIN FIN

Para dimensionar este tornillo se debe tener en cuenta los siguientes aspectos:
● La masa máxima que debe mover este tornillo 200kg.
● El largo será de la altura de la tolva.
● El cilindro de salida de la tolva es de 10 cm de diámetro y de alto 10cm.
● Con la finalidad de usar como dosificador al tornillo sin fin, las espiras utilizarán la mayor cantidad del diámetro del cilindro de salida de la
tolva siendo de 8cm
● Evitar desperdicio del material que es acero inoxidable ya que su valor económico en el medio es costoso, para así tener factibilidad
aceptable.
● Mantener la tendencia de los sistemas anteriores que son cilíndricos. Tomando en cuenta los aspectos anteriormente
Nota: La reducción de velocidad del tornillo sin fin será por medio de poleas y un variador de velocidad dejando la velocidad final de 120 rpm para evitar
calentamiento en el motor y mal funcionamiento.
Con los datos obtenidos se tiene que:
Las espiras tendrán un diámetro de 8cm, 80% de la capacidad la tolva de salida de dosificación para evitar compactación.
Con la finalidad de reducir el esfuerzo del motor vs carga de panela, las espiras serán ubicadas a 30 grados.
Con la finalidad de reducir el esfuerzo del motor vs carga de panela, las espiras serán ubicadas a 10 cm una de otras.
