Glass - Crystal Clear Insights For Container Glass

Register for the webinar here
From Mintec:
How do manufacturers navigate and take stock of the container glass market to make the most of what the future holds​?
Sourcing container glass – as simple as you’d think? In the past, many companies wouldn’t have given too much consideration to sourcing glass. Prices were stable and give-or-take, supply was too. It was never the bottle or the jar that got the attention; rather the contents inside. But how things can change! The energy crisis and war in Ukraine turned the glass market upside down. Prices skyrocketed and supply was squeezed. Even if prices have eased back to a degree, world volatility continues. So, what’s next for glass?
This webinar aims to take stock of the glass market and sentiments of what the future holds. We’ll review the:
– cost model and drivers for glass production
– potential impact of further fluctuations in the energy markets and key raw materials
– supply & demand dynamics
– trends in food & drinks products using glass packaging – approaches for how to procure glass

From 3-A SSI:

Hygienic Design for Profitability and Sustainability
Rick Stokes, Ecolab
How does smart hygienic design add up to a positive return on the investment? This will give you an expert view to quantify your return through water, energy and comprehensive operating cost savings while enabling you to achieve both business and sustainability goals – without tradeoffs.
Product Recovery and Profitability
Nik Ocello, Laufer Valve Tech
Product Recovery or ‘pigging’ systems have been in use since the early days of US oil exploration. The use of pigs has expanded in the proceeding century to include hygienic process plants. Pigging systems have multiple benefits, both direct and secondary, that touch on CIP systems, waste, yields, product purity, and environmental impact. With some limitations, the benefits range broadly from cost reduction to revenue increase to lowered environmental impact. Product recovery/pigging systems should be part of every new plant and existing plants should be trying to retrofit to accommodate one.
The Options for Sanitation Automation Including CIP/COP
Rick Rector, Vincit Group
In today’s complex and ever-changing marketplace, uptime in manufacturing can be a make or break for processors, especially when looking at slim margin products. From the process automation and engineering side the same slim margins exist along with the ever-shrinking experienced labor pool. This presentation will cover the basics of making the right choices in vendors, how to ask the right questions and how to cross check that the work that is being completed matches the master scope of work and design criteria and that all of the project documentation is completed to the final ‘as built’ status prior to final close out. It is so easy for companies to ‘copy’ and ‘paste’ to save time but does that help or hinder you?

Validating Your CapEx Projects to Avoid Unnecessary Expenses
2023-11-29 10:00 (America/Chicago)
Register for the webinar here
From CRB:
Food and beverage manufacturers’ resources—capital, labor, and time—are already squeezed, so how are you ensuring your investment decisions are the right ones? In this 45-minute webinar, Tony Moses, PhD, Fellow of Product Innovation, puts this topic to our resident Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt, Niranjan Kulkarni, PhD, with questions on common operational challenges that regularly lead to hefty capital expenses.
The duo will run through real-world examples and case studies of capital cost avoidance that might actually make your jaw drop. Imagine shifting from investing in a whole new packaging line to simply altering your schedules, or getting to the root of a malfunctioning piece of equipment’s problem so you no longer need to replace it years ahead of schedule. That’s the power of validating your CapEx projects. Kulkarni will walk through how he leverages data and simulated environments for these validations to explore alternative solutions to meeting your desired operating goal—which often translates to major cost avoidance.
The webinar will conclude with a live Q&A.

Designed to identify those significant steps, points, or procedures and reduce the risk of wide scale public health harm, i.e., mass casualties, resulting from intentionally adulterated human foods at the manufacturing level, enforcement of this rule WILL be different from other FDA regulations.
Join Christopher Snabes, a leading instructor of the IA rule, who will explain the purpose, intent, and unique enforcement of the IA Rule. You will learn the relationship between food safety and food defense requirements – including what could result in a Form 483a – and how the IA Rule expands across the supply chain, both domestically and abroad.
