Cartons selection for your products –bakery industry

Cartons are used as secondary packaging in bakeries .These are termed as corrugated paperboard boxes ( CBBS) in bakery lingo . These cartons are used for transporting biscuits , cakes and cookies to consumers through distribution channels . Cartons are the most economical  mode of packaging done for transportation and handling .These are easy to palletize and suitable to be packed in containers . Cartons with  1kg,2kg,3kg and 5kg  are popular in bakery industry as these are easy to handle and lift manually .
Following   are important features to check    before finalizing carton for your product
Box type
Regular slotted cartons
This is the most common carton design, and efficient for many applications. All flaps have the same length and the two outer flaps (normally the lengthwise flaps) are one-half the container's width, so that they meet at the center of the box when folded. There is very little manufacturing waste, usually making this type of box the most economical.
Half slotted cartons

Same as Regular Slotted Carton without one set of flaps. Normally used as a cover, an open storage container, a deep tray, or as a bottom part of a 2-piece box where a telescope top would serve as a box cover
Full telescope
The 2-piece box made from two scored and slotted trays.
Book fold
cartons  , type of cartons , CBBS , CBB , carton boxes , cardboard boxesOne piece of board cut so that it provides a flat bottom, with flaps forming the sides and the ends, and extensions of side flaps meeting to form the top. Most common uses include books, paper reams, audio and video, artwork, mirrors, and many more.
Five panel folder
cartons  , type of cartons , CBBS , CBB , carton boxes , cardboard boxesA single cut and scored piece features a fifth panel used as a closing flap, completely covering a side panel. The closed box has several layers of combined board on each end, providing stacking strength and protection for long articles of small diameter which might me damaged, or damage the box if pushed through the ends.
Inner Pack
Pads are plain shapes of corrugated fiberboard. They can be used to fill the space between the inner flaps of an RSC, to completely cover the bottom or top of a box, pr to separate layers of product (horizontally or vertically).

Ref:www.terracepaper.com
Dimension
Dimension of corrugated box are given   L X W X H  . These are arrived upon by doing mock exercise with the products .Products can be arranged horizontally or vertically as per the  maximum number  of packets that can be arranged .So check your product dimensions and its arrangement in CBBS .
Colors
cartons  , type of cartons , CBBS , CBB , carton boxes , cardboard boxesKraft Liner - linerboard manufactured from pulp produced by the Kraft cooking process. This is the most economical type of color because no further processing is applied.
White Top (Klay) Liner - a two-ply sheet composed of one bleached and one unbleached layer. Terrace Paper Company uses a high quality grade of klay, thus very little kraft surface of the unbleached kraft layer shows through. White-top corrugated board can be ordered one-sided (only one linerboard is White Top, the other is Kraft) or two-sided (both linerboards are White Top).
cartons  , type of cartons , CBBS , CBB , carton boxes , cardboard boxesBleach Liner - liner that is composed entirely of bleached virgin fibers, making it white throughout. This corrugated board can also be ordered one-sided or two-sided (with either one linerboard or both linerboards bleached).

Strength
Burst Test is a traditional form of measuring box strength (also known as Mullen Test). Burst Test is the force required to rupture board hydraulic pressure. This force is measured in pounds per square inch. Thus, a box’s burst strength of 200 test indicates that this box can withstand 200 lbs of hydraulic pressure per square inch. Burst strength relates to individual box’s ability to withstand internal or external forces and to contain contents during rough handling. Out of the two types of test board, Burst Test board is considered a stronger and better quality kind.
The Edge Crush Test (ECT) is another form of measuring box strength and it measures top-to-bottom compression strength of the finished box. Thus, it is usually measured by stacking weight on top of a carton until it crushes. This force is also measured in pounds per square inch. Thus, a box with a 44 ECT indicates that its board can withstand a force if 44 pounds per square inch before crushing. The higher the ECT number is, the stronger is the compression that box can withstand.
Compression strength may be important depending on the types of materials and filling capacity of the box. When a box is packed with heavy material and NOT filled all the way to the top, it is more likely to crush when other boxes are stacked.

Structure
Single Face - one medium is glued to one flat sheet of linerboard.
Single Wall - the medium is between two sheets of linerboard. Also known as Double Face.
Double Wall - three sheets of linerboard with two mediums in between.
Fluting
C-flute: the largest in size and most commonly used material. Offers superior stacking strength and is commonly used for shipping cartons.
B-flute: thinner than C-flute, provides good puncture resistance, commonly used for die-cut boxes and shipping cartons.
E-flute: lightweight, great printing surface, commonly used for die-cut boxes and retail packaging.
F-flute: very lightweight, easily folded, excellent printing surface. commonly used for retail packaging and small die-cut boxes.

What are standards for use of egg in bakery products

Its interesting to note that we find different rules for different countries regarding use of non sterilised egg liquid . Egg liquids are used in number of bakery products such as breads , cookies ,cakes . Eggs can be cause of infection if their bacterial count is more than the standards .An Interesting debate has cropped up in South Korea on use of non sterilised egg liquid .Eggs yolk is rich source for Vitamins A,D,E , Folic acid ,biotin and choline. Egg liquid also acts as a leavening agent for bakery products and provides that special flavour which we are used to fore those speciality cakes.
Food technologist argument is that the food can be contaminated and can have bacterias like Salmonella .Where as Egg liquid manufacturers counters this by the fact that the cost of sterilising the egg liquid it too expensive and bakeries prefer to use non sterilised/pasteurised egg liquid as the process is such that these germs are eliminated during baking .

Eggs are used commercially in bakeries as Eggs in shell , Eggs in refrigerated liquid form , Egg dried powder.Few countries have stipulated that the all egg products to be pasteurised prior to use at 140degF for at least for 3.5 minutes .Other Important standards followed is the bacterial count for egg liquid which is limited to 10000 viable bacteria per gram and for egg white frozen it is 50000 viable bacteria per gram .In addition to bacteria limit for yeast ,molds and coliforms to be less than 10 per gram .
Countries like USA has banned non sterilised egg for food processing industry , where as Japan has sets standards by bacterial count .

What are different type of coders and printers in bakery packaging



What we see as labels on bakery product packaging are impressions generated

through printers or coders installed on the packing machine or stand alone machines which prints messages such as

Date /manufacturing batch code /Best before /expiry date/manufacturer address etc .




These printers and coders are integral part of packaging of bakery products and codes can be generated through electronic screen or mechanical brass characters. Various feature are unique to individual types of printers and coders such as number of line for message , Font size , colors ,

Types of printers and coders


  • Manual stamps are used in small bakeries where you have rubber characters arranged as per the message and is rubbed with ink pad and then stamped on the area of message .

  • Dry ink rolls contact type printers - Coders are mounted on packing machines and dry ink rolls comes into contact of brass characters and printing is done when wrappers come into contact of these characters .Ink rolls are heated so as to get ink in fluid conditions from ink rolls .Various colored ink rolls are available such as red , white , black , blue for colored impression . Major disadvantage is that if we want to change the codes or letter then earlier codes have to be removed from holders . Radial type and Axial type characters are used as per design of type holders ..Life of ink rolls is counted as no of impressions . Number of messages are limited in such kind of coders .This could only print wrappers used for packets and cannot be used for carton boxes


  • Ink jet printers – Ink jet printer is another form of printing where ink is injected through nozzle in controlled manner on the wrapper or laminates to generate s message . These could be packing machine mounted or can be stand alone portable kind of inkjet printing machine .Advantages of such printers that we can change the fonts ,colors , language as these are monitored through software . Disadvantage is that it is costlier than contact type coders as it has consumables ink cartridges or ink bottles ,some what clumsy in operations , solvents has to be applied to clean the nozzles .

  • Thermal transfer printer - Thermal ribbons are used to print message on the wrapper or laminates for the message . Thin ribbon is passed in between ribbon and the labels ,coating of the ribbon sticks onto the label .These printers give high quality prints with quick change over time for different messages , clean operations .Ribbons wastage are very low . Used for precise and quality printing .

  • Laser printer – These are used for high volume and high printing requirement laser beams are generated to produce an image on a drum , the light of laser beam alters the electric charge on the drum this drum then dips into reservoir of toner the charged part s of the drum then picks up the toner this toner is then transferred to the wrapper through heat and pressure .

Waste water treatment in bakeries

Bakery plants generates huge amount of waste water which are treated and then discharged into municipal drains or central treatment plants .As bakeries does not have heavy metal as its inputs hence waste water contains only bio degradable waste .Waste water is generated in bakeries by cleaning of factory floor , machinery and equipments , hoppers ,utensils and tray wash .This waste water contains flour dust , sugar , vegetable oil , milk ,chemicals which makes this water highly acidic in nature . This Effluent water cannot be discharged in open drains as per the standards stipulated by local /federal govt . Different countries have different values for treated water .Following characteristics are monitored such aspH , COD , BOD , TSS , TDS , Fat &Oil , Heavy Metals.


Normally treated water values required would be in between these values
  • pH - 6-10


  • TSS = 1500 mg or less
  • TDS = 2000mg or less
  • BOD = 1000mg or less

  • COD = 3000mg or less
  • Oil&Grease = 100 mg or less
  • Heavy metals = 1mg or less



To treat waste water in bakeries different types of effluent treatments methods are used .Following are most used methods for waste water treatment in bakeries .





  • Aerobic - Air is mixed with the waste water through blower for aeration depending upon the volume.


  • Anaerobic - Air is avoided and the water is maintained in closed tank and anaerobic ( bio culture ) reaction takes place . Methane gas is generated in such reaction which can be used for heating application .


  • Combination aerobic and anaerobic method: Both aerobic and anaerobic tanks are used for waste water treatment . Waste water is first passed on to anaerobic tanks here major BOD reduction is done balance reduction is done in aerobic tanks .



Waste water treatment process



Waste Water are collected in collection pits .Waste water is then transferred to oil and grease traps here oil and grease are removed and then this water is transferred to equalisation tanks ,pH correction is done here at equalisation with addition of soda flakes from here water is transferred to aeration tanks where water is subjected to pressurised through root blowers after aeration water moves to clarifiers . In Clarifiers sludge is separated from waste water and transferred to final tank with filters in between which clears water from any flocculation or impurities . This treated water is either disposed of into open drains or are loaded to tankers which then decant this water into central effluent plants of the city . Sludge are spread on drying beds and are disposed off when it becomes dry .



This treated waste water can be recycled and used in agriculture , gardening , road construction , cooling tower , wash rooms .

Safety and Hazards in bakery plants

Safety in Bakery Industry
Major bakery manufacturing industry are biscuit manufacturing , bread manufacturing ,cake manufacturing . These industry are labour intensive as automation is high in cost for bakery industry which these bakery industry avoid .Normal mid size factory would employ about 250 – 500 workers .

Bakeries in India have numerous accidents and injuries which goes unnoticed.
In India we have around small and medium bakery plants which produces various bakery products . Most the bigger manufacturer have outsourced manufacturing from Contract manufacturers , these contract manufacturers are not equipped financially to implement all necessary safety requirement .Hence it is the responsibility of the bigger player to ensure that safety standards are adhered to into these smaller plants . Safety could be further classified into personal safety, fire safety and electrical safety.

Personal safety
Slip, trips and falls major reasons for these are spillages all around production hall. Oil spillages and Water are the common reason. The major accident prone area is premixing where maximum spillages occurs. Slippery Tiles can also cause trips and falls

Flooring could also results in trip and fall as material handling is done through pallet trucks and trolleys in case of un even flooring the tendency of pallets and trolleys would be to upturn which again causes , hence proper flooring is required in these Plants . Kota Stone flooring is the best.

Loading and Unloading Heavy bags of sugar and wheat flour – 50 kg , 90kg bags are loaded and unloaded manually which may cause permanent damage to the Spine . Mechanical conveyors, Bucket elevators, Screw conveyors, Pneumatic conveyors or Bulk Handling system i.e. Transfer of raw material directly from tankers to Silos which eliminates manual loading and unloading.


Noise is another problem which may cause deaf ness among workers as they work continuously in area where you have continuous mechanical sound for example – Mixers , Compressors , Generators ,DG sets , Blowers of Oven , Vibratory sifters , Grinders etc . Ear plugs are the best remedy

Odour - Another important personal health safety issue in bakeries the major problems come from ammonia odour which inhaled in large quantity can cause breathing problem . Scrubber for ammonia can minimize the effect. We can arrange respirators for these workers


Dust is a unique problem for bakery units you can find Flour dust and Sugar Dust in many of bakeries. These may cause breathing problem, asthma etc .These are generated at grinders, sifters and Mixers.Explosions can occur in these sites if proper electrostatic arrestors are not provided .

Heavy Loads of machinery : There are many equipments which may cause accident due to shifting , change over for e.g. molder , cutters , Oven bands , conveyors etc . Forklifts must be employed in such factories.

Cuts and Burns: These are most common minor injuries in bakery plants. Burns at places like oven, boiler etc and heaters of packing machines and sealers .Explosion and fire has been reported from biscuit ovens from many plants. Explosion safety sheets are provided to release pressure building inside ovens.

Cuts happens when operators are not careful and attentive during process of packing of products as it involves knifes and cutters. Maintenance people normally are care less during belts. Burns may happens at pre mixing section where operators has to handle some chemicals like acids . Protective gloves are to be provided while handling hot objects and dangerous chemicals.

Asbestosis Many of these bakery factories roof sheds are made up of asbestos sheets which may cause asbestosis. Sheets to be changed to metallic sheets.

Heat is another source of health risk as workers are exposed to higher temperatures while working near ovens temperatures zooms to 55-60deg c in these zones .Ventilation and fresh air supply to be maintained in these areas.

Insulation is another dangerous material in these bakeries as ovens are insulated through these insulation hence any repair/replacement / dismantling of oven insulation requires precaution s such as workers to wear boilers suit before such jobs

Fire safety
Bakery industry has many inflammable materials which can cause fire hazards. Materials are following

Packaging material - Wrapper, Card board boxes (CBBS) and laminates Storages and waste are main factor of any fire.

Oven s These are main fire hazards in bakery unit

LPG /HSD/LDO – fuel storage tanks are also source of fire hazards. Safety standards have to be maintained as per Petroleum Act.

Electrical loose wiring or short circuit s can be reason for fire hazards.

Every bakery plant needs to put fire hydrant system in the factory premises to handle fire emergency .Normal fire safety inventories like fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, heat detectors should be installed in the factory area.


Electrical safety

Electrical safety requires proper instillation of transformers, cable trays and panels in the factory

Cables needs to be insulated with no loose wiring in the factory. Maintenance of switch gears.

Proper trained electrician to be recruited for maintenance job... Proper safety loops to be designed during switchgear installation hence to protect any major damage to the electrical installation.

Eliminating risky operation through mechanization and automation, taking precaution s like safety guards, Safety interlocking. With safety audits manufacturers can avert major accident.Providing enough fire extinguishers ,exits routes , emergency lights , drills, training and signages can prevent major accidents

Most of the bakery manufacturers do not invest in the safety equipments and other protective equipments for short term benefits but which in longer term may prove counter productive .By adopting food safety programs like ISO22000, EMS ISO14000 , GMP ,HACCP and OSHA 18000 ensures that the companies are following standards procedures for safety of its personnel and property . Consumers should be aware of these standards and encourage those companies which have these standards implemented in their factories.
