Starting from this assumption, obviously supported by an in-depth analysis and knowledge of the business, two successful companies of the likes of Cama Group and SPS Italian Pack Systems (PFM Group) decided to create a CAMA-SPS pool of “superspecialists” in primary and secondary packaging systems able to supply complete high tech solutions. The company SPS has been manufacturing automatic lines (horizontal flow- wrapping machines, fillers, product feeding and automatic loading systems) since 1964. It was taken over by the solid PFM Group in 2003 and is a clear example of a business which is continuing to grow (the turnover has more than tripled in the last 3 years) thanks to the added value provided to its customers by the technological level of its systems. CAMA too, with its vast range of packaging machines and automated systems, boasts the same rate of growth and consolidation over the last four years in the secondary packaging system manufacturing market (16.5 million Euro turnover in 2003, approx 25 million Euro turnover in 2006). The CAMA-SPS project, set up in the second half of 2005, is based on integrated and joint technical development, as well as on commercial and marketing synergetic actions. The initial stage of the project saw the two companies heavily concentrating on training their respective sales forces and marketing departments on each other’s products.

comprises a row gap closing belt and
outfeed conveyor, 90° bend (layout
requirement), “no-contact” in-line automatic
feeder (for products that cannot be
accumulated) and horizontal flow-wrapping
machine.
- Specialised packaging design assistance
for the selection of the best package in
terms of quality and cost.

robot, an electronically controlled lidding
machine and a belt drive closing machine
for packaging of products both into display
boxes and into 3-flap lid boxes.
The high quality and reliability of the system
allows a production speed up to 1200
chocolate bars/minute.
The final customer, an important European
producer in the Confectionery and Bakery
sectors, appreciated and selected
CAMA-SPS solution due to its high added
value, which can be summarised as follows:
- One single supply, highly engineered to
meet customers’ requirements.
- Common mechanical and electronic
components.
portioning loader, a high speed feedingsystem into the chain of the flow-wrappingmachine (up to 200/minute) and a flow-wrapping machine for products on edge.
The flow-wrapped products, arriving ona single lane at 140/minute, are collatedand loaded into an intermittent-continuousmotion horizontal electronic cartoningmachine with an output of up to 90cartons/minute.High production speed, flexibility andsmall footprint are some of the advantagesoffered by the CAMA cartoning machine.
