EDITORIALdear readers,

We continue our PETplanet series of regional reports with a look into the ASEAN states. We have toured such countries as Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand (visits to Vietnam and the Philippines are planned and forthcoming). In January 2009 we visited the region’s key players in the PET business – machine suppliers, converters and fi llers - and we listened to their views, plans and predictions at the time.

After six months we now start publication. Six months is a long but inevitable period between interviews and publication – especially when the world is changing so rapidly under the infl uence of the fi nancial turmoil spreading across the globe. Some of the statements made at the time may require revision - and will be revised in the course of the reports.

On this tour we have seen very busy factories, and other factories which were quieter and more relaxed than others. The crisis is punishing the latter, the low-productivity companies. Prudent management will cope. Manage-ment mistakes - which were hidden in previous years by the euphoria of continuous growth - are today paying the cost!

Certainly the global fi nancial crisis has arrived in Asia – later, and maybe not as severe as in other parts of the world.

Beverages in Asia are affected – no doubt. A slow-down in 2009, or at least a lack of growth, seems inevitable. Even Chinese entrepreneurs have become cautious.

But in contrast to banking, property, housing, and even the automo-tive market, there is still a strong beverage market: not speculative, not virtual, but real and existing, and hence less affected. Which should be comforting to all of the associated industries – including, and in particular, the PET industries.

Economies change. People change their habits. But still men need to drink. This is what the optimistic PET industrialist believes in.

Yours,

Wolfgang von Schroeter

KraussMaffei prepares for the post-crisis fallout

On the occasion of its Spotlight Event on 7th May at which some 1,000 visitors were present, Dr. Diet-mar Straub, KraussMaffei CEO, announced that the company was looking at a 30% slump in sales for the 2008/2009 trading year (October to September). This indicates that the volume of sales reported at the end of the current trading year by the self-styled leader in plastics and rubber processing machinery and equip-ment is likely to be of the order of 700 million Euros.

Since KraussMaffei’s market share is at the same time increasing, according to VDMA statistics, this is a sure sign as far as Dr. Straub is concerned that the company has the right products, even for diffi cult times like these. By way of an early indicator that the situation is easing, he makes particular reference to the fact that customers are working together with KraussMaffei on double the number of new projects as was the case a year ago. “Customers are gear-ing up for post-crunch times” states Dr. Straub. Of interest to cap producers were two machines from Krauss-Maffei’s premium all-electric EX injection moulding series. The new EX 120-750, a 120 ton-nage machine, expands the clamp force range of the EX series. Visitors to the in-house show can watch this high-speed machine running a 24-cavity mould to make 2.0-g HDPE closures for beverage bottles in a cycle time of less than 3.0s. In addition to the short cycles and the highly consistent shot weights, the outstanding characteristic of this machine is its reduced energy consumption, although it is being used in such a high-performance application. A hybrid induction heater for the plasticizing unit further reduces energy consumption. The closures pass through a cooling conveyor as well as a 100% optical quality control.

Sweeteners and new ideas for beverages

Consumers all over the world want their bever-ages to have aroma and taste, but as few calories as possible. The beverages industry is trying to meet this demand in a variety of ways. drinktec 2009 is now launching its fi rst Innovations Forum on Sweetening concepts, in cooperation with ‘Dr. Har-nisch International Publications’ of Nuremberg.

Between September 14th and 19th leading manufacturers in the industry will be presenting their concepts and beverages at the New Munich Trade Fair Centre. The forum will present a com-plete review of all the available sweetening agents – in particular sugar, sugar substitutes and sweet-eners – and their characteristics and applications in beverages. Companies taking part in this forum include Beneo-Palatinit, Nutrinova and Tate & Lyle. The presentations by the exhibitors will be accom-panied by a range of company-independent lectures and at the cafeteria in the “plaza” at the heart of the forum, trade visitors will have the chance to taste innovative beverages from all over the world.

Sidel Engineering and Conveying By creating the “Engineering & Conveying” business unit, Sidel

is responding positively to the demand expressed by its custom-ers, who since the start of the global economic crisis have been focused on optimising existing bottling lines rather than investment in new production capacity.

Line audits, fl ow studies, layout design, auxiliary processes, piping, worksite coordination, commissioning and technical accept-ance are all areas of expertise and engineering project manage-ment available to Sidel since the acquisition of Gebo in 1997. Now grouped together under the leadership of former Gebo president Marc Aury, these skills will be put to use for refurbishments, trans-fers or other line adaptations. Sidel Engineering & Conveying is positioned as an engineering service integrator, responsible for implementing all equipment, whether new or used, from various suppliers, in order to put together the line.

The new business unit is already operating worldwide, with more than 800 qualifi ed staff based in North and South America, Europe and Asia. The service is being marketed by the Sidel sales network.

Fast, Faster, VitesseOn May, 13, 2009 injection moulding

machine manufacturer Ferromatik Milacron had invited to a Packaging Theme Day on May 13, 2009, at its main facility in Malter-dingen, Germany. There the new high-performance Vitesse machine series was introduced to a select group of 150 invited packaging experts.

Vitesse represent the evolution of design ideas introduced with the CAP-TEC in 2006. “The Vitesse goes a step further. Not only will it serve the packaging industry but also other sectors, such as the con-sumer goods,” said Robert Burzler, Director Sales & Marketing at Ferromatik Milacron. “In response to market demands we have also extended the clamping force range with a 5,000 kN version”, he added. The Vitesse comes in clamping force sizes of 2,000, 3,000, 4,000 and 5,000 kN, and can be equipped with injection units of interna-tional sizes 1,000, 1,650, 2,650 and 4,400. In total ten combinations are available. The electric screw drive of the Vitesse allows for parallel functions, resulting in extremely short cycle times. The stability required for the machine dynamics is provided by a reinforced machine base with linear guides. The result is reliable performance at the highest speeds. The Vitesse comes stand-ard with Ferromatik Milarcron’s GreenLine energy saving package, also includes Fer-romatik Milacron’s Teleservice for remote-maintenance of machines and process optimization.

Machine Demonstrations At the Packaging Theme Day three

machine exhibits were demonstrating the Vitesse in action. Of special interest for the beverage sector was the Vitesse 300 with a 72-cavity mould from KTW and a clamping force of 3,000kN and international size 2,650 injection unit wasshown producing caps with a cycle time of 2.6s.

Krones’ profi ts up once again in 2008 Krones AG enjoyed another successful year in 2008. At 2,381.4 million

Euros consolidated sales were 10.5% up on the preceding year’s fi gure. Order intake climbed by 1.1% to 2,326.5 million. Krones’ growth was boosted by the continued high proportion of beverages sold in PET.

Earnings before taxes rose by 1.6% in 2008 to 156.1 million Euros. The EBT margin, meaning earnings before taxes in relation to sales, fell from 7.1% to 6.6%, attributable primarily to human resources and restructuring costs incurred as part of a package implemented in the fourth quarter of 2008. Profi ts after tax rose in 2008 by 4.6% from 101.8 million Euros to 106.5 million Euros, earnings per share from 3.25 to 3.39 Euros. The Executive and Supervisory Boards will propose a dividend of 0.60 Euros per share for 2008.

2009 fi rst quarter loss

The global economic crisis saw Krones’ sales fall by 19.0% during the fi rst quarter 2009. The high level of fi xed costs, predominantly personnel expendi-ture, hit earnings hard in the year’s fi rst quarter. Krones is fully confi dent that in the long term the markets will resume their growth trajectory and intends to retain its permanent staff even in this hostile macro-economic environment. The cost-cutting initiatives that the company embarked upon in the fourth quarter of 2008 will continue to take effect as the year proceeds. The almost unprec-edented global economic situation precludes any meaningful prognoses for consolidated earnings in 2009. The company has to proceed on the assumption that the worldwide fi nancial and economic crisis will, over the course of 2009, signifi cantly affect sales and earnings. Krones expects the markets to recover in 2010.

Bericap advances in sports closure marketBericap offers two basic types of sport closures to the market, the well

known push-pull closure, consisting of 3 different parts, and the 2-piece Thumb’up sports closure, with the advantage of one-handed opening and re-closing.

In 2008 Jamnica, a leading Croatian mineral water bottler, decided to replace all of its push-pull closures used for fl avoured water with the Thumb’up. As well as the marketing advantages, environmental reasons also supported the change to the 30/25 sports closure. Originally the 30/25 push-pull with IHS foil, suitable for the aseptic fi lling process, was used. The change of cap now allows the elimination of the IHS liner, giving increased consumer-friendly han-dling, as the closure does not need to be unscrewed to remove the foil before drinking.

In 2009, after the major success of Thumb’up for fl avoured water, Jamnica is also now switching its famous Jana water brand.

Fourth European Bioplas-tics Conference in Berlin

The fourth European Bioplastics Con-ference, organised by the European Bio-plastics Association, will take place in the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Berlin on November 11th and 12th 2009.

This annual conference brings partici-pants up to date with the latest techni-cal and economic developments in a sector which has been growing by more than 25% per annum, as well as offering extensive networking opportunities

Milacron sell-off agreedMilacron Inc. has signed a defi nitive agreement to sell substantially all of its

assets to a company formed by affi liates of the Avenue Capital Group, certain funds and/or accounts managed by DDJ Capital Management LLC and certain other entities for a total estimated at some $175 million. The defi nitive agree-ment is on much the same terms as the agreement in principle for such a sale announced on March 10th, the same day Milacron fi led for Chapter 11 protec-tion. In return for Milacron’s assets, the purchasers will, among other things, repay or assume a substantial portion of Milacron’s debts. The acquisition is part of a comprehensive fi nancial restructuring, intended to permit Milacron to continue as a going concern with substantially less debt. The defi nitive sale agreement is subject to Bankruptcy Court approval and potential competing bids from other parties, as well as certain other conditions.

Recycled PET in food contact applications

As the collection and recycle of PET bottles in Europe grew, the PET industry recognised that recycled PET outlets were reaching saturation and we needed to recycle PET back into food contact packaging. As PET is the only polymer manufactured exclusively to food contact regulatory standards, the PET industry identifi ed PET as the right candidate to lead recycle back to food contact. In Europe there were little or no harmonised regulations and some countries even banned the use of recycled plas-tics in food contact applications. The PET industry decided to drive for a European-wide regulation and chaired a meeting of EU industry asso-ciations with an interest in recycled plastics in food contact applications. This group proposed a recycle regulation to the EU Commission. Member States and Industry fi nally agreed a Regulation for Europe in March 2008 - (EC) 282/2008.

This Regulation lays down a series of rules for recycled plastics to be used to package food which:

must be exclusively mechanically recycled; exclude chemical recycling and in-house scrap; exclude recycled plastics behind a functional barrier; stipulate only food contact plastics, used for food contact applications, can be recycled back to food contact applications;state that articles made from recycled plastics and intended for food contact must comply with Article 3 of Regulation 1935/2004 (no con-tamination);require good manufacturing practice, as laid down in Regulation 2023/2006;require an effective, audited, QA system; mandate the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to approve complete processes for the recycle of plastics to food contact applications.

The Industry believes the Regulation is clear and fi t for purpose. EFSA has proposed guidelines to approve recycle processes for

plastics to food contact applications. However the PET Industry perceives positive points and potential issues with these guidelines. The positive points: They are based on good science, they are data-based, they are independent.

The perceived issues are:There is a lack of clarity versus what is ‘acceptable’; They do not appear to recognise different process steps in the value chain. They give collective authorisation with no regard to individual steps and whether they have been previously approved;New installations require full approval with no credit for technology/ previous partial approval.

The net effect is that, as written, the guidelines de-incentivise new recycle plant investment. The PET Industry therefore recommends:

EFSA recognises that the value chain has 3-5 processes from feedstock reception to fi nal product and these can be independent and collective;For new technologies EFSA should provide time-limited approval for individual plants, based on trial and pilot plant scale processes and provide speedy approval for individual full scale processes when ready;For existing technologies EFSA should simplify the approval process and approve individual processes and feedstock streams recognising the part they play in the whole recycle process.The PET Industry will meet consumer expectations and maintain the

highest level of health, safety and environmental standards. It fully sup-ports innovation, growth and investment in the recycling value chain. The PET Industry positively drove the need for, and supports the Recycle to Food Contact Regulation but we need EFSA to produce a fl exible proc-ess mechanism to allow appropriate approvals.

Textile grade PET plant starts operation in Mogilev (Belarus)

A test run of the new textile granulate PET plant, designed and constructed on the basis of Uhde Inventa-Fischer’s 2R-technology, was jointly carried out by Uhde Inventa-Fischer and OAO Mogilevkhimvolokno at the end of 2008. The test run was successful. During the performance test a capacity of 250 tons/day was reached, while the nominal capacity of the plant is 240t/day. In PET production based on the low thermal stress 2R technology, DMT can also be used as a raw material as an alternative to PTA. A plant upgrade is planned to be completed in May 2009, with the purpose of further diversifi cation of products. This will allow the production of bottle grade PET co-polymer precursor pellets. The pellets will subse-quently be upgraded to bottle grade high-viscosity PET in an existing SSP plant.

The subject of this PETplanet Regional Report are the ASEAN states, the so called Association of Southeast Asian Nations – lying within and surrounded by the South East Pacifi c.

In the series of regional reports PETplanet has already focussed on China (issue 4 and 5, 2007) and India (issue 3, 2006) and done justice to the size and importance of these Asian giants. ASEAN is the heart of Asia, lying geographically between India in the West and China in the East - right between the two competing giants.

Anyone focussing on the ASEAN states will of course also have India and China, with their populations of billions, in their fi eld of vision. The economic infl uences, as well as political and cultural infl uences, are quite signifi cant. The ASEAN states are inter-linked with the whole of Asia and will be understood only in an all-Asia context.

by Wolfgang von SchroeterPart 1ASEAN

The big beverage companies too – i.e. those with a global aspiration such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Nestlé, Danone – see the Far East as a whole, and only then think about the ASEAN states. The PET industry machin-ery manufacturers also take a “pan-Asia” view. Husky, for example has its Far-Eastern headquarters in Shanghai to where the ASEAN branch in Singapore reports. Sidel makes machines in India, and until now Malaysia, with China on the way, machines being supplied from those countries to the ASEAN Market. The same applies to KHS who are producing in India and China, Sipa in China.

Background and Introduction“Asia – including the ASEAN states - is in a better position to respond to the fi nancial crisis thanks to its better fundamentals.”

And there is no less disparity in the religions of the vari-ous member states: Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos are overwhelmingly Buddhist, Brunei and Malaysia are Islamic countries, as also is Indonesia. The Philippines are Christian/Catholic.

In all of the countries there are religious and ethnic minorities that are integrated to a greater or less extent, a situation which frequently leads to unrest and violence.

ASEAN = the Association of SouthEast Asian Nations, i.e. Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Burma, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam.

The group was established in Bangkok in 1967 and is headquartered in Jakarta.

The establishment of ASEAN as a “Zone of Peace, Free-dom and Neutrality” was a reaction against the communist East, and in particular the People’s Republic of China.

The aim of this common-interest group was, and still is, the improvement of economic, political and social cooperation in matters of security, culture and the environment.

The ASEAN Economic Com-munity (AEC) is considered the most important common institu-tion with the most demanding mission, as AEC is challenged to transform the ASEAN states into a single market and manufactur-ing base that is highly competitive and fully integrated into the global community by 2015. The goals of economic integration will include among others, the elimination of tariffs, free movement of profes-sionals, free movement of capital and streamlined customs clear-ance procedures.

There are certain diffi culties in the way of this integration since the member states differ in terms their economy, culture and type of government.

ASEAN includes wealthy countries such as the city-state of Singapore and the emerg-ing state of Malaysia, but also poor countries such as Laos and Myanmar (Burma). The contrast within countries between the rural and urban communities is equally disparate.

From a political point of view the spectrum covers young democracies such as Indonesia and the Philippines, the consti-tutional monarchy of Thailand, authoritarian states such as Malaysia and Singapore, the single-party communist state of Vietnam, the absolute monarchy in Brunei and the military junta in Myanmar.

Nevertheless it is now apparent, that ASEAN has grown into and has become a key regional organisation in develop-ment, and which enjoys growing recognition from its commu-nity members – indirectly and unintentionally aided by China. Since the emergence of China as an international economic force the ASEAN states in the South China Sea see them-selves facing an increasingly self-assured neighbour. This has led to an increased solidarity among the ASEAN states. On the other hand it is Chinese people who fulfi l the most important functions in the ASEAN states. Medium-sized pri-vate industry in particular is fi rmly in Chinese hands.

Indonesia is a developing country with the typical problems seen in the infrastructure and energy supply. Comparisons with neighbouring Singapore and the obvious differences which emerge are painful to many Indonesians. Nevertheless Indonesia is the most heavily populated nation in the ASEAN region, is democratically and politi-cally relatively stable, and has the highest percentage of Islamic citizens in the region. The secular system is how-ever increasingly challenged by Islamic groups, provok-ing the introduction of increasingly strict legislation by the government. No less vigorous is the government campaign against widespread corruption.

The global fi nancial crisis has had its impact here too on the economies of the ASEAN states, although (at the time of writing) it has been less intense. The ASEAN Secretariat held a forum on the global fi nancial crisis in Jakarta on Janu-ary 30th 2009, and issued the following communiqué: “Asia is rapidly feeling the mounting economic pain. Nonetheless, Asia is in a better position to respond to the crisis thanks to its better fundamentals. Asia is the only region in the global economy that still shows strong growth.Obviously Asia needs to adjust by rebalancing its resources and turning from export driven to domestic demand-driven growth.”

The Philippines, on the western fringe of the ASEAN region, is an emerging country with all the signs of a develop-ing market. The per capita income is low, similar to heavily-populated Indonesia. There are major inequalities in income distribution. Nevertheless there have been some signifi cant macro-economic advances. In 2007 the country enjoyed the highest rate of growth for more than 3 decades. The electronics industry has moved in. The service sector is booming (tourism). But the problems remain for a government that is constantly fi ghting to survive and in particular to eliminate poverty, with

Vietnam has the lowest per capita income and largest growth potential in the ASEAN region. The country is still in the throes of changing from a command economy to a market economy. The drivers are manufacturing indus-try and the service sector. Private industry has already overhauled state-owned industry in this strongly social-ist country. Investors see in Vietnam a balancing factor with China, which spreads the risk better. The war is long passed. Young Vietnamese no longer see Resistance Road as the reminder of a bloody struggle but the address of the country’s biggest stock exchange. About one third of the population is below the age of 14, the average age is 25.9 years and 90% can read and write. 81% of Vietnamese state that they do not belong to any religion. There are 24 million motorcycles and mopeds clogging the road system, but symbolise the upswing in Asia’s latest “tiger” economy. Vietnam’s greatest challenge however remains the training of its population to develop the skills needed by the textiles and electronics industries.

The macro-economic data are positive evidence of Thailand’s relative economic prosperity. The country has an exceptionally favourable strategic position in the region and has a social security and health care system superior to those of the neighbouring countries. Thailand has opened up its economy in recent years and boasts a successful automobile industry.

However the political troubles are preventing the coun-try from achieving its true potential. Political stability and predictability are prerequisites for a prosperous economy, and important factors in decisions taken by foreign inves-tors. The country has been plagued with political unrest, a military coup, a constant round of new elections, regime changes and at times violent protests.

The greatest infl uence on the country and the people is King Bhumibol Adulyadej - despite the introduction of a parliamentary democracy and a strong military establish-ment - who came to the throne in 1946 and is undisputed ever since.

Malaysia, unlike any other country in the Far East, is benefi ting from its offi cial national religion – an “enlight-ened” Islam, which draws huge numbers of visitors from Arab countries, who spend money and invest to earn money.

Malaysia is a constitutional monarchy, the govern-ment policy is fundamentally a pragmatic one, taking a benevolent view of market economics. The country’s open economy welcomes industry, is diversifi ed, competitive, and reinforced by a fl exible labour market and a good infrastructure. The young population, whose average age is 24.1, are hoping to see a strengthening of the education and training system. The model is based on Singapore. The Chinese minority are leaders in Malaysian trade and industry.

Singapore is the small-est and richest country of the ASEAN region with per capita income of Western standards. Approximately 80% of the pop-ulation are of Chinese origin and are of a comparatively high average age. The country was once a prosperous trading post and a producer of cheap manufactured goods but has now evolved into a knowledge-based society.

Today the focus is on research and training, in the supply of services, the fi nance industry, and the associated wealth creation. Manufacturing industry has moved on to China and/or the neighbouring coun-tries of Malaysia and Indonesia.

Laos, Cambodia and others

These countries have been deliberately excluded from the report since the markets are extremely small.

CSD should grow slowly (projection until 2011 = 2.1% p.a.) while glass is slowly being replaced by PET. The market is relatively mature but still dynamic. The top 5 players in 2007 accounted for 72% of sales - Coca-Cola leading with a 50% market share. CSD producers have consolidated to a signifi -cant degree.

The water market is still fragmented with many small and growing local players including private labels and regional brands. There are many players with a stable base. The 5 top brands represent 48% of the market, with Danone of Indonesia leading the fi eld with a 24% market share.

Beer should grow at 3% - with the Far East declining and South Asia growing. There are strong national brands with international players jockeying for position. The top 10 brands represent 78% of the market, with Japanese breweries leading by big a margin.

JNSDIT (Juoces, nectars, soft drinks, iced tea including tea and coffee) is growing at a faster pace. Glass is becom-ing popular in the Far East for tea and coffee. The market is extremely dynamic and driven in the lower category. JNSDIT is highly fragmented with many local entrants. Many local play-ers are consolidating. The top 10 brands represent 54% of the market, with Coca-Cola leading the fi eld.

LDP (i.e. dairy products) should see constant volume growth with increased use of plastic for yoghurt-based drinks. LDP is fragmented with several top players in a stable position and increasing their share of the market. 10 top brands cover 38% of the market.

On our travels through the global markets we have found that statistics covering earlier years are usually the result of precise and responsible research, whereas future predictions are very often motivated by a notorious strategic optimism among company planners. The possibility of a recession is never considered in such predictions, bar charts or presen-tations - i.e. when marketing experts get enthusiastic and excite their boards of directors with rosy forecasts. But reces-sions happen. And the question to be asked here is “Has the 2008/2009 fi nancial crisis reached ASEAN?” The fact is that exports from countries such as Thailand and Indonesia have fallen. Another fact is that beverage demand in the consumer market is real and there are no unsupported forecasts or over-enthusiastic predictions.

So the beverage industry, and including the PET indus-try, is in doubt about whether the sensational rise in beverage consumption over recent years will continue, and whether PET machinery demand will continue or will be hit by the recession. On tour through ASEAN we experienced a range of attitudes - beverage producers are cautious, converters are optimistic and aggressive, machine suppliers take a moderate view. Viet-nam, with very low per capita consumption, has huge potential anyway – irrespective of any global fi nancial crisis.

Husky in Singapore are predicting a reduction of GNP growth of 2%, Aqua Danone in Jakarta notes a lower demand for beverages, Indorama in Bangkok sees no reason for inter-rupted growth in resin production. KHS in Singapore is carefully watching the market. The general view is that beverage facts and fi gures need cautious consideration and refl ection.

Summarising ASEAN packaged beverages

Indonesia is the biggest beverage market of the ASEAN states, thanks to having the largest population.Vietnam enjoys the biggest potential because of its enormous back-log of unfulfi lled demand.

The ASEAN PET StoryAll PET stories are global stories.

PET – as an attractive lightweight package – is spread-ing forcefully from the USA, with the same drivers and carriers, i.e. the very big CSD companies Coca-Cola and Pepsi, and with the same supportive suppliers such as Husky, Sidel and Corpoplast from the early days until today and virtually into all parts of the world.

The number of companies supplying PET equipment has increased with the growing market size, but the pio-neers are still there in leading positions. This international phenomenon is equally applicable to the ASEAN states.

Resin

PET resin demand in Asia is approaching 4.0 million tonnes, with the highest demand in China and Japan.

PET resin demand in ASEANThailand ...................................................140,000 tonnesIndonesia .................................................140,000 tonnesMalaysia...................................................100,000 tonnesSingapore .....................................................minor usageVietnam .................................................... 40,000 tonnesPhilippines ............................................... 80,000 tonnesTotal ASEAN ............................................500,000 tonnes

ASEAN PET resin demand by application follows the general Asian trend, i.e. CSDs with market penetration of up to 50%, hot fi lls, sports drinks and water with penetra-tion of up to 80% topping the list of PET packaged bever-ages. Beer in PET, with a low percentage penetration at the moment, remains a strong potential market.

PET resin producers

Indorama: producing in Thailand and Indonesia - 280,000 tonnes of which 100.000 tonnes (35%) are sup-plied into the ASEAN states. Indorama also injection mould and blow mould for brand owners such as Pepsi. (See report on Indorama in a forthcoming issue of PETplanet Insider) Other producers of PET: Mitsui, ShinKong, Bang-kok Polymers.

Injection moulding of preforms

Converters in ASEAN states injection mould preforms and also blow mould the bottles, which are then transported, empty, to the producer and fi ller of beverages as was done in many markets in the early PET years.

Prominent converters visited: PETPak, PETform (Indo-rama), Imco, TCK Interplas. Prominent converter and fi ller vis-ited: YHS, Toyo Pack. A few in-house operations were started by converters installing blowing machines in their own premises and in line with their customer, i.e. the ultimate fi ller.

Large brand owners however have also started buying their own equipment, including blowing machines, and some are even installing injection moulding machines in order to have full control of all processes involved. This is becoming a trend for mainly high capacity/high output equipment. Prominent brand owners visited: Aqua Danone (Indonesia), F&N Coca-Cola (Malaysia), Ajethai (Thailand). The total number of injection moulding systems in ASEAN is between 70 and 80.

Husky is foremost among the makers of injection moulding machines, having an overwhelm-ing market share of more than 80%, with cavities between 16 and 128. The recent successes of Husky are a result of Husky’s product strategy to promote machines with smaller numbers of cavities, such as the 90 and 120 ton systems.

A few single machines have been supplied by Netstal and Sipa. Sipa also supply single-stage injection-blow-moulding machines, competing with Nissei ASB and Aoki, the latter having a majority share of the low volume equipment in ASEAN.

Lightweighting is a trend. The market will continue to demand lighter packaging. Trends in pre-form lightweighting are signifi cant, with ongoing weight reduction for most beverage containers:

Combination of shorter and thinner preforms and lighter threads.Bottle change including preform change.Signifi cant for bottles between 0.5 litres and 2 litres.Weight reductions from 15% to 50% over the past 10 years.

Blowing/fi lling the bottle

Actual number of blowers in ASEAN was estimated in 2007 as 43 individual blow-ing machines.Actual combination lines in ASEAN were estimated in 2007 as 71 fi llers with blow-ers in line and blocked.

The fi rst PET blowing machines were supplied in ASEAN by such companies as Sidel and Krupp Corpoplast. These were single individual machines, mainly run and operated by converters. The high tech fi llers came from KHS, Krones and Simonazzi.

Sidel has the largest number of blowing machines in the ASEAN markets and has the largest customer base. The company continues with the largest number of trans-actions for individual machines. We saw Sidel blowers at almost all converters (and brand owners) when on tour. Krones is leading in order intake value thanks to the high tech/high volume integrated PET lines at brand owners such as Coke, Nestle Thai, Tipco (juice), Red Bull (energy

drinks). KHS, very strong in glass, is now targeting PET with the help of the former Corpoplast (now part of KHS.) Sipa is challenging in single-stage and two-stage technologies. Tech Long from China is slowly entering low end mar-kets. Single-stage machines are the domain primarily of Aoki and Nissei ASB – with Sipa for the high end solutions.

The current trend towards integrated PET blowing/fi lling lines has also left its mark on the ASEAN markets. The name Simonazzi has disappeared, as Sidel and Simonazzi have integrated not only their brands and equipment, but also the local organisations in one Bangkok offi ce under one manage-ment. The same seems to happen when SIG Beverages (essentially Corpo-plast) moves under the umbrella of KHS. “KHS Thailand” is clearly written at the entrance to the former SIG Beverage offi ces. The Italian Berchi, another specialist in fi lling equipment, was previously not present in ASEAN and has therefore been easily integrated by Sipa. Krones is the only company in this blowing/fi lling scenario where blowing and fi lling were original in-house devel-opments, and which have existed now for almost ten years.

Undoubtedly some powerful combinations have emerged in course of this global consolidation process. The market, and many of the participants, is puzzled about what will happen in future when a beverage company wants a complete new PET line. In the past brand owners had more choice and could select individual equipment, i.e. what they considered to be the best in each category. On this trip we saw Sidel blowers working with KHS fi llers, or a Sipa blower with a Krones fi ller, or an Aoki single stage machine with Krones label-lers, etc. Will suppliers in future dictate the blowing/fi lling combination?

Recycling

Recycling is not yet the focus of great attention. Roads in cities are cleaned manually. The large amounts of post-consumer PET, collected and roughly sorted, travel the well-known international routes to China. Smaller quantities are processed into foils for food packaging.

Summary

In summary the PET markets of ASEAN are primarily low volume markets, i.e. smaller systems for injection moulding, blow moulding and fi lling, although obviously with some exceptions. Multiple small systems for maximum fl exibility are the requirements to be satisfi ed by the machine maker.

Indonesia and Thailand are key markets in ASEAN. Vietnam has great potential. A major contributor is water. Other up-and-coming applications are edible oil, tea, isotonic drinks. Healthy beverage growth is expected for the future. Growing demand will however be slowed down (but not stopped) by the fi nancial crisis before picking up again.

The global plastics converter industry is huge. Almost everything made from plastic is made in a mould of some sort, so there are countless numbers of mould makers. Many of these are seeking new customers and are offering to produce moulds for PET preforms and/or PET bottle moulds. Our aim in this month’s survey is to provide a list of those companies that either specialise in PET moulds or at least have extensive experience in the fi eld, and to help preform and bottle manufacturers avoid those mould-makers that simply want to take a slice of the still-buoyant PET container business.The survey, of course, distinguishes be-tween injection moulds for preforms and blow moulds for bottles. Most PET mould-makers focus on either injection moulds or blow moulds, but there are of course several

companies that offer both, such as R&D Leverage in the UK and USA, and Hallink in Canada. ASB Nissei and Aoki produce single-stage mould sets or two-stage tool-ing, but only for operators of Nissei or Aoki machines.The list of blow-mould producers includes Sidel, KHS and Krones, who are manufac-turers of SBM machines but who also design and produce moulds for competitive ma-chines.Manufacturers of blow moulds almost all have a container design service, which will help the bottle blower to avoid costly but impractical designs at an early stage. They will also be able to provide guidance on the preform design - having the right preform is an extremely important aspect of PET bottle blowing.

Testing of caps and preforms

A new wind is blowing in supposedly well-established fi elds. Anyone who thought that the development of in-line test-ing equipment will be evolutionary rather than revolutionary should take a look in the direction of Switzerland. Here, the 25 man team of IMD have quietly taken hold of the subject and come up with numerous new ideas and developments.

The PET business can thank the decline in the Swiss watch industry for the emergence of a new supplier of in-line testing equipment for caps (and with preform testers on the way).

The company IMD (Industrial Measuring Devices) of Brügg in Swit-zerland was formed out of a liquidated watch-making business in 1996 to become a specialist in rapid, non-contact measuring devices. In 1998 Matthias Hermle, who was and who still is the managing director of IMD, was asked whether his company could make classic in-line test equipment for caps.

A market survey soon made it clear that the competition was using black and white cameras, and that to be sure of recognising all of the defects a colour camera was really necessary. It is, in particular, very diffi cult for a black and white camera to distinguish between the colours red and green. The company developed appropri-ate software in-house and were soon ready to go. Today over 500 cap inspection devices have been supplied and are in operation worldwide.

The necessary mechanical com-ponents, such as conveyors, sorters - and the innovative idea of a cooling track - were quickly developed. Today, with caps being ejected from the mould at a temperature of up to 110°C there is a real danger of physical damage when they are subjected to dynamic loading. Cooling the caps in cooling drums can lead to deformation, and if the caps are vigorously tumbled in air there is a real risk of microbiological contamination. With the IMD equip-ment the caps fall onto a perforated conveyor belt which bathes them in

cold air fed through the holes. The only mechanical loading to which they are submitted is when they fall from the mould, and the risk of microbiological contamination is eliminated. The caps are presented to the colour camera having been cooled down lower than 40°C guaranteed. At this point an air nozzle ejects any faulty caps.

Matthias Hermle sees a continued high demand for his equipment as caps delivered to the big-name brands have to be 100% tested.

Following its success in the fi eld of caps the company has now taken on the challenge of preform inspec-tion. The newly developed IMDvista is, rather like the switch from black and white to colour cameras for caps, based on a relatively simple idea. Until now all automatic preform inspection systems carry the preform by the neck-ring using grippers, which meant that the cameras could not see 100% of the preform. To give the inspection cam-eras a clear view IMD has developed a way of applying negative pressure (or partial vacuum) and so holding the pre-form onto a conveyor belt which carries it in front of the colour cameras.

For those who are interested in knowing more about IMD equipment the devices will be on show at NPE, running on the Husky stand and on the Demag stand.

IMD supplies inspection devices for caps...

...and now preform testers are also available: The IMDvista Inoxline.

IMD is going to present the new IMDvista INOXline which the company claims to be as robust as stainless steel but more fl exible than any alumin-ium profi le system.

The IMD equipment will be on show at the NPE, running for example on the Husky stand.

The Rapid Guide to Perfect Preforms by Rick Unterlander and Ottmar Brandau

Symptom: An un-homogenous colorant mixture that forms irregular and/or oriented patterns in the preform. Severe agglomerations may be observed as deep colour clumps and surface delaminations.

Cause:Poor mixing of colour additive and/or col-orant / carrier incompatibility with PET.

Solutions:1. Check to ensure colour feeder is dosing

colorant accurately. If using liquid colour, check nozzle for clogging and repair as necessary.

2. Check colour pre-mixer is functioning.3. Check colorant for homogeneity. Liquids

should be checked for layering / set-tling and should be remixed if required.

4. If peeling exists, check with colorant supplier for carrier compatibility with PET resin.

5. Make sure no bridging (clogging) has occurred in the extruder barrel and if necessary clean out the plastic bridged material. WARNING: When preparing to release bridged material, you must completely cover your body with protective gear including facemask, safety helmet and thermal gloves. Gases may build up inside the barrel and may release when the bridged material is removed, caus-ing molten plastic to be sprayed out.

6. Check all temperature readings and correct if necessary. PET resin should be melted at about 280ºC (536ºF) +/- 10ºC (18ºF). Decreasing the temperature in the extruder feed section to about 270°C (518ºF) may improve colour feeding and reduce the risk of bridging, and increasing the temperature in the extruder metering section to about 290°C (554ºF) may improve melt fl ow and colour mixing.

7. Check throughput of plastic in system doesn’t exceed output of extruder screw. The processed kg/h of plastic should be below the manufacturers rating of the screw. Contact manu-

Troubleshooting guides have suffered in the past from being locked away in offi ces and not being available to the people that actu-ally need them. Considering the high cost of machine and tools high scrap rates can be a costly proposition eating away at already tight margins.

PETplanet’s recently published “Rapid Guide to Perfect Preforms” takes a differ-ent approach. Bound in laminated paper that is easy to clean off, the small format of the book of 108 mm by 151 mm (4.25” by 6”) allows easy storage in back pockets or tool boxes. It has been written for the people on the fl oor of injection moulding companies to support their daily work in making the best preforms possible.

The product of two industry experts, Rick Unterlander and Ottmar Brandau, it gives concrete advice on 35 of the most common problems in preform manufacture, most illustrated by pictures. From high AA levels to wavy bodies processors can fi nd help when they need it.

facturer for spec, and if exceeded, raise extruder tempera-tures and/or increase cycle time to compensate.

8. Check extruder throat cooling is on, yet still maintaining proper resin inlet temperature (should be minimum 160ºC (320ºF)). This may inhibit colorant jelling or coagulation.

9. Check for adequate extruder back pressure. This must be high enough to ensure vigorous mixing in the extruder. Increase as necessary. Typical range is 15 – 20 bar (200 – 300 psi).

10. Ensure extruder screw speed is suffi cient to plasticize prop-erly. Increase speed to increase shear and mixing.

11. Check for proper resin fl ow at extruder throat. If interrupted, air pockets may be drawn into extruder.

12. If using regrind, check that the chip size is fairly uniform and not too large.

13. Check for any colorant build up in the extruder throat and remove if necessary.

14. Check hardware for worn, damaged or failed components, specifi cally the resin in-feed line, colour mixer and colour dosing unit (if equipped) and the extruder screw.

15. For prevention, always: a. Turn off colour feeder when purging

out the barrel. b. Turn off colour feeder when running

resin out of hopper. c. Keep colour feeder off during the fi rst

few auto cycles.

Gneuss Inc

Energy Effi cient Filtration Systems and Innovative Extruder Technology

Gneuss, Inc’s MRS 90 (for 1000lbs/h of R-PET) Multi Rotation System MRS, for the devolatilization of plastic melts, will make its North American debut at NPE2009. The patented multiple screw section makes a very large area available and permits high degassing performance, even with a vacuum of only 20 to 40mbar, and enables the extrusion of undried PET. The extrusion drum contains 8-10 small extruder barrels, par-allel to the main screw axis, which hold the satellite screws. They rotate in the opposite direction of the main screw. Sur-face area exchange rate of the polymer melt is increased by up to 500%, compared with single-screw extruders. MRS is space-effi cient and is claimed to require low maintenance, be energy-effi cient and offer high fl exibility.

Also exhibited will be the latest generation of Gneuss’ SFXmagnus and RSFgenius lines. Both feature newly-developed insulation of the screen changer, which requires around 40% less heating energy than conventional continu-ous screen changers. The new insulation enables RSFgenius to fulfi l the requirements of DIN EN 563:2000 when process-ing most materials. It can be used for most types of polymers.The SFXmagnus fi ltration system is designed for applications where process constant and/or pressure constant operation is important, but self-cleaning is not absolutely necessary. Two models will be on display, with larger and smaller capacities.

Phoenix Technologies

High-speed rPET line for food-grade resin

Phoenix Technologies has announced the construction of its fi rst commercial rPET (recycled PET) line for the production of LNOc food grade resin. It will produce a projected 10 million pounds of resin annually. The company says that it has been able to engineer a resin that eliminates or minimizes many of the challenges – including colour, viscosity and acetaldehyde (AA) content – that formerly prevented rPET from becoming commercially viable. Phoenix LNOc resin is currently being tri-alled for a variety of containers, including water, beverage and drinking cups.

The LNOc process relies on Phoenix’s patented ‘extremely small particle size’ technology, which enables much quicker decontamination – less than 1h – compared to other proc-esses, resulting in faster output and signifi cant energy savings. It produces rPET with superior colour and yield, has lower AA levels and higher intrinsic viscosity or molecular weight, which more closely matches that found in virgin resins and enables higher package performance.

Although there have been successful trials of up to 100%, Phoenix is expecting most food grade applications to run between 25-50% rPET. The company is also making its tech-nology available to others, via license, partnership or turnkey system installation and has teamed with Conair to build modu-lar LNOc processing equipment. The system requires a small footprint (less than 2,500sq.ft.) and can easily be disassembled and transported to a new location.

Plastic Technologies, Inc.

Small quantity prototyping at high speed

Plastic Technologies, Inc. (PTI), will be showcas-ing its new ability to produce – within two weeks – small quantity extrusion prototypes for multilayer cast fi lm and sheet products. The company can also prototype a limited number of thermoforms. It believes it is one of the fi rst to offer fi lm and sheet prototyping capability from small resin quantities (between 10 and 40 pounds) and is in the lead when it comes to turnround time.

The prototyping capability includes up to three materi-als and fi ve layers. Materials include, but are not limited to, PET, polypropylene and barrier polymers, such as ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer and nylon. Emerging bio-materials such as polylactic acid can also be prototyped. PTI expects its new prototyping capability to be of value to organisations throughout the supply chain, including resin and additive manufacturers, fi lm and sheet produc-ers, converters and packagers. It can also help companies formulate and test their structures.

PTI’s new capability is expected to signifi cantly impact companies who are experimenting with new materials and/or combinations of materials where emerging technology, confi dentiality and speed-to-market are issues. Its state-of-the art pilot production and testing capabilities, coupled with the company’s technology knowledge, enables it to offer outstanding package development services.

Husky

Improving effi ciency and reducing costs in a challenging market.

Husky Injection Moulding Systems will be exhibiting and demonstrating machinery and solutions that are designed to lower part costs, improve quality and maximise operational effi ciency, the company says.

Husky recently completed a lightweighting project with a leading global bottled water producer. Husky helped the com-pany achieve 15% weight saving on one of its plastic water bottles. This reduction will save a total of 1.3mio kg of resin annually.

On the stand will be HyPET 300 from the HyPET range of packaging systems, which are optimised for beverage appli-cations. It is a 72-cavity high performance package running a water preform application at less than 6s cycle times. Also at the show will be the 72-cavity HyCAP 300 closure system, which runs cycle times of less than three seconds. Husky says that it is ideal for new lightweight, shorter caps, with better melt control balance and temperature, precision and repeatability.

Conair Group, Inc

Single-stage PET drying system gives more control and saves energy

Conair’s new ES-1 drying system is aimed at processors of smaller volumes of materials, like PET, that need to be dried at high temperatures. Incorporating a Conair Carousel Plus dryer, which delivers air dried to -40°C dewpoint and heated to 177°C, it takes advantage of control technology developed for the EnergySmart drying system.

A long probe in the drying hopper extends through the material bed and six integral temperature sensors register the temperature at different levels. Data is sent to the Energy-Smart control, where the temperature profi le is continuously updated and displayed on the operator screen. Readings are used to adjust and fi ne tune the volume of air being deliv-ered to the drying hopper, so that just enough heat energy is added to the bed of material to maintain the optimum tem-perature profi le. The controls have the ability to fi ne-tune airfl ow and dewpoint to achieve optimum drying performance, regardless of throughput or changing processing conditions. Conair says that this improved level of control achieves aver-age savings of between 35 and 45%, compared to conven-tional dryers.

The Drying Monitor and the ES-1 control also act as an early warning system. If a clogged fi lter reduces airfl ow to the drying hopper to the point that it cannot heat the entire volume of material, the changed tem-perature profi le will be detected and an alarm will sound. The ES-1 is designed for throughputs between 400 and 5000lbs/h (182-2273kg/h).

PETproductsNew cap resins from Borealis

Borealis have announced the launch of BorPure, a new resin range which is claimed will open up new potential for the bever-age industry when developing caps for mineral water and soft drinks that require fi rst class organoleptic performance. The new HDPE resins are said to meet the current market demands for the “as bottled” taste without any reduction in the cap’s technical performance and aesthetics, as well as meeting the converter’s requirement for high speed moulding and cost reduction. The improved fl ow performance of these multimodal resins is superior to unimodal resins with the same melt fl ow index, which for the converter means lower holding pressures and the associated cost savings, as well a reduced risk of environmental stress cracking.

Recycling - new solutions save money With reduced margins it is time to cut costs. Herbold

Meckesheim have announced a number of improvements in the areas of size-reduction, washing, separation and drying. These include granulator cutting knives with exchangeable stellite-tipped plates, minimising the consumption of high-alloy steel. A further innovation is the fi tting of exchangeable wear plates on pipe bends, suction units etc.

Rotors in centrifugal dryers are also now available with exchangeable wear plates. Downtimes and running costs are reduced without a costly and time-consuming complete exchange.

The Herbold running-cost reduction programme also includes the new series of SB granulators with forced feeding. This machine series, already successfully used in continuous opera-tion at many recyclers, essentially contributes to an energy reduction of up to 50%.

New generation of QualiPAL

Schaefer has launched a new genera-tion of QualiPAL pallet checking systems principally for use in high-bay warehouses. The system identifi es and rejects defective pallets. The modular construction makes the QualiPAL adaptable to specifi c user requirements and can be programmed to recognise various different defects such as loose or broken skids, loose nails etc, and report those pallets in need of repair.

New technology eliminates hot-fi ll panels

Graham Packaging has unveiled a panel-free line of hot-fi ll, wide-mouth PET jars. They are smooth-sided, without noticeable vacuum panels, so not only can labels be easily applied but also the contents can be easily emptied.

“Using our proprietary vac-uum-absorption technologies, we have been able to integrate vacuum panels into the design of the package in such a way that they’re virtually invisible to the untrained eye,” said Paul Bailie, vice president of food packaging for Graham.

Different panel-free tech-nologies are employed to achieve different designs, so the jars each have a unique appearance. “We didn’t do just one design”, said Bailie, “but several vastly different ones, including designs nobody else has attempted”. Most of the jars, which have 63 or 70 mm neck fi nishes, can be fi lled at temperatures between 195 and 205°F (90 - 96 °C).

HTS dodge the crisisWhile many companies are thinking about reducing their manpower and

seeing order-intake fall, HTS, a company, created two years ago by profession-als from aeronautics, the plastics industry and blowing machine manufacturers, goes from strength to strength. The company produces an innovative range of reheat blow moulding machines 100% designed and produced in France. The machines are aimed at bottle manufacturers and beverage companies.

“When a company fi lls 20,000 bottles a day, there is an economic logic to integrate a new ELS machine directly into the production line”, says general manager Hubert Keh Zarzecki. “For about fi fteen years blowing machine technol-ogy has not changed,» he continued. «We wished to design an entirely auto-matic machine, in line, simple to use, reliable and extremely rapid”. HTS have created an electromagnetic system which signifi cantly reduces electricity consumption while doubling the speed of the blow-ing cycle. The machine is also entirely electric, eliminating low pressure pneumatic lines for the opening and the closing of the moulds and internal transfer. Blowing pressure is 25 or 30bar rather than the conventional 40bar.


PETbottlesSwiss specialities

The Swiss retail group Migros of Zurich is selling 0.5l of their special beverages such as “Ginger Ale” (a ginger fl avoured soft drink), and “Chi-notto” (table water with herbal fl avours) in PET bottles. The carbonated bever-age is pasteurised. The bottles have a wrap-around paper label and a black tamper-evident screw cap.

Organic beverages in PET Biervertriebs GmbH of Braunschweig

are offering 0.5l soft drinks with malt extract and pineapple-citrus favouring in a PET bottle. On the pack the company points out that the beverage is produced from organically-grown products as well as drawing attention to the fact that the simple green bottle and relatively little product promotion help to keep the price down. A modest silver metallic printed screw cap with tamper evidence, and a green collar around the neck complete this organic pack.

Kids pack in PET Small 330ml PET water bottles that

will fi t into any small rucksack or pocket for thirsty kids are proving very popular in France. The handy bottles, with grip recess, are decorated with a foil patch label designed to appeal to kids. A screw cap with double tamper evidence and an easy to open hinged lid make drinking simple for thirsty youngsters.

Two-coloured drinking cap “Ü Orange + Açai“ is the name given by

the Überkingen Teinach mineral spring com-pany to their carbonated, low-calorie, orange fl avoured soft drink which is sold in a 0.5 litre PET bottle. In Brazil Açai is a very popular and trendy additive in drinks. The no-deposit bottle has an attractive partially transparent wrap-around foil label that gives the pack an unusual appearance at point of sale. The tamper evident screw cap with a drinking spout is moulded in two colours and coloured to suit the particular fl avour of the beverage in the bottle - orange, lemon, apple or cherry.

Personal Care

Repair Shampoo in PETIn Germany L’Oreal is selling the

250 ml pack of “Garnier Fructis“ brand Repair Shampoo in a lightly tinted green PET bottle. The front of the pack has a transparent “no-label look” label, and the paper label on the back carries all of the required product data. A colour-coordi-nated, easy-to-open, snap-on cap and various metallised gold printing effects nicely fi nish off this modern cosmetics packaging.

Clearasil chooses PET ReckittBenckiser Germany is

increasingly using PET bottles for the “Clearasil” skin care range. The clear bottles and the blue-tinted product help give the range a high level of product recognition at the point of sale. The two-colour hinged cap is opened with one hand and has a striking diagonal form. Alternatively the pack is available with a pump action dispenser which blends in with the pack design. Both options, together with the blue and white label, give “Clearasil” a unique and unmistakable brand image.

PET sphere for Nivea Beiersdorf of Hamburg produce the

150 ml pack of Nivea “diamond” gloss hair spray in a spherical PET container with a fl at front and rear surface. The small bottle is decorated with a shrink sleeve label such that the important brand and commercial data can be read on the fl at surface. A colour-matched screw-on spray pump with safety hood nicely fi nishes a modern cosmetics pack.

Baby care oil with visual impact

Johnson + Johnson Germany have given their Penaten baby oil range, availa-ble in various pack sizes, a complete make-over. The bottles are rounder in shape and have a screw-on hinged lid. A particularly effective feature at point of sale is the blue printing on the inside of the paper label. This makes the baby care oil look very slightly blue and produces attractive effects depending on the angle of the light.
