Image processing based quality control of the impermeable seams in multilayered aseptic packages
Expert Systems With Applications, 2015Co-Authors: Kemal Adem, Umut Orhan, Mahmut HekimAbstract:We propose an approach to detect unsteady seams in multilayered aseptic packages.It is the first study on quality control of impermeable seams.Segmentation and edge detection are evaluated on longitudinal and transverse seams.One feature extracted from images is classified by linear regression and SVM.The proposed system can overlook an unsteady packet only once in a 96years. Multilayered aseptic material which guarantees the extended shelf life of liquid foods is turned into an impermeable package by folding Packaging Machines. Some problems in the Machines causes the packages to lose the impermeability property and therefore lead to deterioration of the liquid food. The leak test, which was performed to determine the problem, has been carried out by expert employees. The control process has steps of random selection of the liquid food packages, the opening of it properly, and observing the distribution of the injected ink in the seams by human eye. It is known that this control can cause serious material damage due to the human-based errors. With this study, it was aimed to perform the leak test of seams in multilayered aseptic packages by using a combination of the image processing and classification techniques. Through the data obtained from a real production environment, the experiments were performed and the results were evaluated. As a result, it can be said that the study has a distinctive feature as being the first in its field with its promising results.

use of biobased materials for modified atmosphere Packaging of short and medium shelf life food products
Innovative Food Science and Emerging Technologies, 2014Co-Authors: Nanou Peelman, Peter Ragaert, Angelique Vandemoortele, Elien Verguldt, Bruno De Meulenaer, Frank DevlieghereAbstract:Abstract The research objective was to evaluate the performance of biobased plastics for modified atmosphere Packaging (MAP) both on laboratory and industrial scales. Therefore the shelf-life (4 °C) of rumpsteak, ham sausage, filet de saxe, grated cheese and pre-fried fries that were MAP-packed in poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and cellulose-based multilayer packages was evaluated and compared with their shelf-life when packed in conventional materials. Furthermore, tests were performed on industrial Packaging lines. The biobased packages showed sufficient gas-barrier to guarantee the shelf-life of MAP-packed food products, even when materials with lower barrier properties were used, but for rumpsteak and ham sausage, different light permeabilities of the Packaging materials led to more discoloration. Furthermore, the biobased materials performed well on the industrial Packaging Machines, but seemed too brittle to hold larger contents. This study shows promising results toward the application of biobased Packaging materials for different food products. Industrial relevance Environmental concerns regarding food Packaging have led to the development of more sustainable alternatives. One of these alternatives are biobased materials. This research shows that several biobased plastics can contain and protect the food as well as maintaining its sensory quality. The biobased packages showed sufficient gas barrier to guarantee the shelf-life of the MAP packed food products, even when materials with lower barrier properties were used. Furthermore, case studies at different companies (on industrial Packaging lines) show that a successful entrance in the market will not be hindered by technical problems.

Packaging machine control equipment system and method and engineering machinery
2019Co-Authors: An Ning, Wangzi JiliAbstract:The invention relates to the technical field of Packaging machine control. The invention discloses a Packaging machine control device, system, method and engineering machinery, one transfer mechanismcorresponds to a plurality of Packaging Machines, each Packaging machine comprises the Packaging machine control device, and the Packaging machine control device comprises a receiving device used forreceiving a package unloading signal from an upstream Packaging machine opposite to the Packaging machine; and a control device used for calculating the total time for the package corresponding to thepackage unloading signal to reach the Packaging machine when the package unloading signal is received, and controlling the package unloading of the Packaging machine according to the calculated totaltime. According to the invention, the total time for the packages unloaded by the upstream Packaging machine to reach the local Packaging machine is calculated according to the package unloading signal, and the package unloading of the Packaging machine is controlled according to the calculated total time, so that the problems of package stacking and package splicing during the cooperative work of a plurality of Packaging Machines can be effectively controlled and avoided.
