Speed and safety for the operator of this semi-automatic packaging plant with a production capacity of up to 1200 bags per hour Concetti has designed a new semi-automatic packaging plant with a production capacity of up to 1200 bags per hour. The filling and closing line uses an innovative bag holder that protects the operator when attaching the bag to the filling spout. The dust extraction system helps to provide a clean and safe environment. The scale is a net weigher with gravity feed. The bag closing system is either by sewing or welding. The bag can be closed by simple sewing, fold (of the upper flap of the bag) and stitching; or by heat sealing in the case of plastic packaging (PE, PET). The plant can process flat and gusseted bags in paper, raffia, plastic, from 10 to 50 kg, with a fully automatic format change. Applications: granular products, including corrosive ones The plant, in the completely stainless-steel version, is designed for weighing and packaging aggressive granular products such as salt and fertilizers, ensuring reliability, safety and long life. For the packaging of products…

180 big-bags/hour filling speed Concetti has launched an automatic bulk bag (FIBC) weighing, filling and closing system designed to be operated by only one person. The new net weighing and filling station for single loop bulk bags can fill up to 180/BB per hour, ensuring a high productivity combined with increased flexibility. This system is designed to provide enhanced automation of a traditionally manual process that normally needs three workers, reducing costs and ensuring greater safety at work. With this innovative new design manufactured by Concetti, the machine operator should only place bags onto the filling spout, while all subsequent steps such as bag inflation, alignment of the filling neck after filling, transfer to the sealing station, heat sealing of the filling neck, lifting of the single bulk bag hook and automatic insertion of the sealed neck of the internal liner inside the bulk bag are all carried out automatically within the system. The full bags will then be removed by the fork…

The new line is the world`s first dry pet food filling line to incorporate an inline seal verification system Concetti, Italy`s leading supplier of bag filling systems, has enhanced its reputation for cutting edge equipment by supplying an innovative version of their twin spout IPF 40 to Ga Petfood Partners, a British manufacturer of premiumquality pet food. Flexibility, seal appearance and integrity were crucial factors for this customer. The new line is the world`s first dry pet food filling line to incorporate an inline bag inspection system and seal verification. Concetti IPF40 quality seal inspectionThe IPF handles a wide range of sizes from 500g to 5kg using pre-made gusseted paper and PE/Aluminium foil bags, with or without handles and resealable zips, and pouches at speeds up to 1800 bags/hr. Packs vary in width from 140-300mm and in length 270-600mm. The heat-sealing line position relative to the bag top is programme adjustable. To ensure 100% seal integrity, preserving quality and shelf life, a thermal high-definition camera is incorporated. Proprietary software…

The Italian company takes a significant step forward in environmental sustainability. Concetti takes a significant step forward in environmental sustainability. The new industrial photovoltaic (solar panel) system installed on the roof of the Bastia Umbra plant is now fully operational and can reach a power of 475 kW on sunny days. Following its vision for ethics and sustainability, Concetti have invested in transforming solar energy into electricity, reducing the use of fossil fuels and the production of carbon dioxide, the main cause of the global warming. Since the installation of the solar system a few months ago, the emission of 51 tonnes of greenhouse gases has been avoided. As an example, this is equal to planting 172 trees in sixty days, providing a direct contribution to the protection of the environment and the fight against climate change. This intervention, financed with Por fesr 2014-2020 funds, will reduce the company`s energy costs by 60% and, together with the installation of low energy LEDs throughout the company, represents a further…

Two systems in one without product contamination Concetti SpA, manufacturer of automatic systems for bagging and palletising bulk products, has designed a new packaging solution for animal feed supplements or similar applications to manage both medicated and non-medicated feeds, within a single machine but still minimising the risk of cross-contamination between product batches. This is a highly regulated area requiring careful design to meet all the client and regulatory requirements. Two filling systems in one and a small footprint The filler is equipped with two separate weighing and filling systems, which work alternately, thus reducing the risk of transmitting active substances between different products. In addition to physical separation of products during weighing and filling, the machine is equipped with a highly efficient cleaning system. The preformed bag, once full, can then be sewn or heat-sealed, based on the needs of the manufacturer. The bags are then conveyed to the palletiser. The installation requires…
