Products and services

• Capsulers and Cappers (Capsulatrici e Tappatrici) Automatic and semi-automatic machines for closing glass containers, PET bottles, and tin containers with twist-off caps and plastic press-on caps, used by food, chemical, and cosmetics producers in their canning and packaging lines.
• Vacuum Fillers (Colmatrici Sottovuoto) Linear and rotary vacuum filling machines that dispense liquid coverages such as oil, vinegar, brine, or syrup into containers for products like olives, mushrooms, peppers, and fish, optimizing product preservation.
• Dosing Machines (Dosatrici) Semi-automatic and automatic dosing machines for precise measurement and filling of products across viscosities, used in food, chemical, and cosmetics production lines.
• Linear and Rotary Fillers (Dosatrici Lineari e Rotative) Volumetric and piston filling machines for liquids, sauces, creams, and dense products, operating in glass, metal, or PET containers.
• Air Buffer Overturning Blower (Soffiatrice Capovolgitrice a Tamponi) Automatic machine for removing impurities inside empty glass, metal, or PET containers using a continuous AIR/STEAM/AIR blowing cycle before filling; capacity of approximately 12,000 containers/hour at 314ml.
• Air/Steam Blower with Twist (Soffiatrice Aria/Vapore a Twist) Automatic machine for removing impurities inside glass, metal, or PET containers using a twist mechanism with 180° rotation for air and steam treatment; capacity of 6,000 containers/hour at 314ml.
• Filling and Closing Monoblock (Monoblocco di Riempimento e Chiusura) Integrated machines combining filling, vacuum topping, and closing functions for pots, bottles, and containers in a single compact system, reducing floor space and handling on canning lines.
