2 MINIPACK-TORRE. UNEXPECTED IDEAS THE ADVANTAGES OF THE AUTOMATIC MACHINES DESIGN AND PRODUCTION. We believe that in order to achieve goods results, every single project has to be personally followed from the beginning to the end. At MinipAck-Torre all the steps of a project are entirely developed inside the company. That is why a steelworks has been created inside the company to build all the chassis and the whole components of the machines. This gives a great flexibility to the whole structure. HI-TECH MANUFACTURING PLANTS. The manufacturing plants are completely automated. The staff is continuously working in order to fulfill any specific and customized requirements from all the customers. QUALITY POLICY. The two certificates of Quality Uni en iso 9001-ViSion 2000 obtained in the year 2001 represent an important goal and a never-ended engagement to satisfy the customers thanks to a strict quality control procedure in production, commercial services and aftersales assistance. Ten world-wide patented models, four technological advanced production facilities (one completely automated), a world-wide distribution network, a widespread technical assistance, the Certificate of Quality UNI EN ISO 9001:2000: this is what today MINIPACK-TORRE is. R&D every year 5% of the general turnover is invested in r&d. This continuous research allows MinipAck- Torre to always be on the top level of a market which is constantly in evolution. Thanks to the r&d department the company is always able to offer new advanced and reliable packaging systems. SAFETY: TOP PRIORITY. More than others, MinipAck-Torre has taken into great consideration the safety of the operators of their machines. That is why they deeply and continuously studied and developed new safety systems. In more than 30 years the company has gained a world-wide leader position in the packaging machines field. Any equipment provided is reliable, ensures a good productivity and always impresses for the great ideas which has. Automatic machines = to be employed by companies which need high production outputs. A deeper analysis controverts this idea and underlines the great advantage which derives from the employment of an automatic machine instead of a semi-automatic one. Also for outputs which are not so high 7MONTHS ( pcs/day), a considerable cost saving may be obtained, since it is possible: to employ labor force (operator) in other activities for 7/8 months yearly thus keeping the same productivity level. to obtain an advantage which derives from energy saving( the tunnel is switched off for the relative period). to face any peak in production thus not creating any difficulty in production and any extraordinary work. Flexibility is another advantage. The automatic machines may be employed in several application fields: food, retail, graphic and mailing, GDo, industrial and textile. This why, after two years of intensive work since the creation of the first prototype, MinipAck-Torre has introduced the new pratika 56 range, the ultimate turning point of its production. -70% With the new generation automatic machines there is a 70% saving in labor costs comparing to a semi-automatic machine.

16 RP LINE EXCELLENCE IN A COMPACT SHAPE MINIPACK-TORRE was set up almost 40 years ago, exactly thanks to chamber machines, patented in But ideas cannot stop. The company's RP range has evolved thanks to a new programming interface. A new generation of machines is born with new electronics, which are fitted as standard to a chamber machine, thus representing an absolute novelty. New functional features important for packaging have been added together with this software. The fan stop is a new patented feature, a green solution for energy savings and increased operator comfort during packaging, since the fan stops before the hood is opened. It is also equipped with adjustable softshrink to control the shrinking force based on the product (light or heavy). Other technical solutions improve performance even further to make these machines easy to use, durable and reliable. MINIPACK-TORRE ideas always stand out. TECHNICAL NOVELTIES SOFT SHRINK adjustable fan speed immediate shrinking fan stop boosted fan motor additional safety thermostat placed directly on the heating element of the chamber sealing blades safety control ADVANTAGE advantage in packaging any type of product (including light and fragile) with various types of film less hot air dispersal and consequent energy savings, benefits for the user and the environment superior shrinking performance enhanced machine safety enhanced machine safety A new patented electronic system permits to lock the fan just before the hood opens. this allows the hot air not to completely escape with ensuing energy savings (about 20%) and enhanced comfort for the operator. An innovative and unique solution was developed for the micro-perforators in order to always achieve optimal film perforation. the new hood fixing system no longer calls for any glass stop. Fastening is carried out directly. ALL THE ADVANTAGES OF ELECTRONICS GUARANTEED PERFORMANCE with consistent and optimal sealing results it supports increased turnover IT RENDERS TRADITIONAL SYSTEMS OBSOLETE thanks to the cutting edge of the latest components these machines are made with a technology in step with the times: the reliability of electronics makes traditional systems obsolete OPERATIVE NOVELTIES independent packaging plate from the roll support larger packaging plate support with wider diameter roll (up to 250 mm) ADVANTAGE suitable to package even very small products with the same film roll In suitable size to the heat shrink chamber suitable to the micro-perforated film for packaging bread the roll support has been enhanced to house film rolls up to 250 mm in diameter: useful to use micro-perforated film for bread packaging.

This helps us pursue our ambitious program for 2020: to be able to request and service any machine, at any client site, anywhere in the world, all from the comfort of our desks. The first step has been taken by installing the SE 1029 system. With a small investment, the machine can be monitored directly by our Assistance Centre in the Dalmine headquarters (Italy). Thanks to this tool, it is possible to intervene remotely, to modify a parameter or perform any type of diagnostics check. In this way, we can identify and solve up to 70% of the causes for malfunction. TROUBLESHOOTING This initially starts by identifying the malfunction and then determining its cause through a process of progressive elimination of possible known causes. Troubleshooting is used in engineering, electronics, computer science and software development as well as in many other fields: all Pratika machines are equipped with this tool as standard. TECHNOLOGICAL BOX FOR DIAGNO- STICS AND UPGRADES With this Box (optional) technical service is easier and faster. By connecting the box with the machine the device will perform a diagnostics check with a direct connection with the Assistance Centre in the Dalmine headquarters (Italy).
