MINIPACK-TORRE. UNEXPECTED IDEAS

R&D

every year 5% of thegeneral turnover isinvested in r&D.This continuous rese-arch allows MinipAck-Torre to always be onthe top level of a mar-ket which is constantlyin evolution.Thanks tothe r&D departmentthe company is alwaysable to offer newadvanced and reliablepackaging systems.

HI-TECHMANUFACTURINGPLANTS.

The manufacturingplants are completelyautomated.The staff is conti-nuously working inorder to fulfill anyspecific and custo-mized requirementsfrom all the custo-mers.

QUALITY POLICY.

The two certificatesof Quality Uni en iSo9001-ViSion 2000obtained in the year2001 represent animportant goal anda never-endedengagement to sati-sfy the customersthanks to a strictquality control pro-cedure in produc-tion, commercialservices and after-sales assistance.

DESIGN ANDPRODUCTION.

We believe that inorder to achievegoods results, everysingle project has tobe personally follo-wed from the begin-ning to the end.At MinipAck-Torre allthe steps of a projectare entirely developedinside the company.That is why a steel-works has been crea-ted inside the compa-ny to build all thechassis and thewhole components ofthe machines.This gives a great fle-xibility to the wholestructure.

SAFETY:TOP PRIORITY.

More than others,MinipAck-Torre hastaken into greatconsideration thesafety of the opera-tors of their machines.That is why theydeeply and conti-nuously studied anddeveloped newsafety systems.

Ten world-wide patented models,four technological advanced pro-duction facilities (one completelyautomated), a world-wide distribu-tion network, a widespread technicalassistance, the Certificate of QualityUNI EN ISO 9001:2000: this is whattoday MINIPACK-TORRE is.

In more than 30 years the companyhas gained a world-wide leader posi-tion in the packaging machines field.Any equipment provided is reliable,ensures a good productivity andalways impresses for the great ideaswhich has.

THE ADVANTAGES OF THE AUTOMATIC MACHINES

-70%7MONTHS

Automatic machines = to be emplo-yed by companies which need highproduction outputs.A deeper analysis controverts thisidea and underlines the great advan-tage which derives from the employ-ment of an automatic machine inste-ad of a semi-automatic one.Also for outputs which are not so high( 2500-3000 pcs/day), a considerablecost saving may be obtained, since itis possible:• to employ labor force (operator) in

other activities for 7/8 months yearlythus keeping the same productivitylevel.• to obtain an advantage which deri-ves from energy saving( the tunnel isswitched off for the relative period).• to face any peak in production thusnot creating any difficulty in produc-tion and any extraordinary work.Flexibility is another advantage. Theautomatic machines may be emplo-yed in several application fields: food,retail, graphic and mailing, GDo,

With the new generation automaticmachines there is a 70% saving in la-bor costs comparing to a semi-automa-tic machine.

industrial and textile.This why, after two years of intensivework since the creation of the firstprototype, MinipAck-Torre has introdu-ced the new prATikA 56 range, theultimate turning point of its produc-tion.

NEW2012

Minipack-torre’s distinctive featureis its capacity to project, innovateand amaze for the great ideas whichembody its products.For its next-generation pratika 56automatic machine new range, it hasnot only chosen cutting edge, not tosay revolutionary, mechanical pro-ject solutions.Moreover Minipack-torre has alsochosen the electronic technology

CREATIVITY BY MINIPACK-TORRERELIABILITY BY SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC

and the components of a world-wideknown trade-mark: Schneider electric.The result is a perfect synthesis ofreliability, high performances, flexi-bility and safety which changes theconcept of the automatic machinewith thermo-shrinking film onceagain.The future in automatic packaginghas already started.

NEW PRATIKA 56 LINE BEYOND COMPARE

The new praTIka 56 line is born, notonly from the proven mInIpack-Torre

“power of ideas”, but also from a deepattention to the market needs which hasalways been in search for a productwhich must be both highly technologi-cal but flexible and “user-friendly”.The range is composed of 4 modelswith common highly technological andreliable equipments, which have spe-cific features to meet different andspecific packaging needs.“Made in italy with an international heart”:praTIka 56 models are entirely produ-ced at mInIpack-Torre production faci-lities but the heart of electric and elec-tronic components of a multinationalcompany like schneIder elecTrIc is bea-ting inside them.
