The lines of the XP series are also perfect for dealing with products containing liquids or substances potentially hazardous, like alcohol, whose fumes can has a dangerously explosive charge.

Nothing is left to chance: the filling Exacta XP type flow meters are equipped with a special explosion proof mass type flowmeters.

Safe and versatile: they are available in different versions, depending on the degree of protection required by the product and the substances to be treated.

Fortunately, even in Italy, the packaging ends, increasingly, in the right place, back to life, form and dignity, through the intelligent recycling. It does not remain inert waste to be disposed of, but also assumes a new utility.

According to the latest estimates, the share of packaging recycling rates reached very encouraging. The 75% of packaging, which can be of wood, plastic, steel or glass, is recycled.

Suffice it to say that, in 2010, were well recovered 8.5 million tonnes of packaging, of a total of 11.4 million tons on the market.

The EXACTA series fillers win the top of the category, versatile, yet functional, efficient and reliable, they are also a guarantee of hygiene, safety and cleanliness.

Allied also ideal for the packaging of food products and pharmaceuticals, the filling of Ronchi Exacta, not fear “attacks” unscheduled or unforeseen contamination. Their implementation requires the elimination of health points of potential contamination. Any attack, whether tube or pipe, is completely sanitized.

If not enough, the management software of the machine includes a special section dedicated to the washing, which can be customized to suit individual needs. Completed washing, a further guarantee of hygiene and safety, the parts in contact with the product may be subject to strict sterilization process.

Let’s start the countdown to one of the most important events in the field of packaging technologies, processing and logistics: IPACK-IMA 2012.

An all-Italian event, with the character and charm typical of Made in Italy, a guarantee of quality and style. Ronchi could only answer “present”, confirming itself as on of the reference points of Italian packaging industry.

Missing just over a month, but the preparations for the big event are already begun. The great kermesse, from February 28 to March 3, will animate the pavilions of the Milan fair. This is an unmissable event for all industry experts, which will have, among the exhibitors of excellence, even Ronchi.

IPACK-IMA is a fair system continuously developing and growing, both in terms of visitors both from the point of view of the consensus. Not to belie his “fame” as an event projected into the future, IPACK-IMA, this year, hosts the Innovation Corner, an area reserved for companies that want to present their technological innovations.

On the occasion of Christmas, where parcels, packages and gifts reign supreme, even the packaging chooses a look in keeping with the period. If the content is always the most important aspect of a gift, even the packaging plays a role not to be underestimated.

Beautiful to look at, attractive to be buyed and unwrapped: it is as it should be the packaging for special occasions. The right packaging, to enrich with added value each gift bag, has an eye, as well as for functionality, also for aesthetics.

The packaging must protect and preserve the precious gift to put under the tree for this Christmas 2011, but must also be nice to see, easy to handle and nice to “unpack”.

Ronchi

Ronchi won a prestigious award this year, the P&G’s Corporate Supplier Excellence Award 2011. It’s one of the best “Business Partner” by U.S. giant: Ronchi, the leader in the packaging, does not disappoint, being the only Italian company awarded as the best supplier of the year.

“I congratulate all of our award winners, especially those who were recognized as Business Partner of the Year. Our external business partners are an important part of the Company’s ability to innovate and grow, and critical to the work we do at P&G every day” said Rick Hughes, chief purchasing officer.

Only 0.1% of external business partners receive this award, a very small slice of the global suppliers of P & G. Ronchi there is.

The future of packaging is just around the corner and talk about organic materials and innovative packaging solutions, to ensure the highest quality and, at the same time, eco-sustainability.

These are the topics of debate and confrontation in the middle of the calendar of special events for the next edition of the Milan fair IPACK-IMA 2012, which have Ronchi among its protagonists of excellence.

Missing four months of its inauguration, scheduled for February 28, 2012, but the rich calendar of collateral events, meetings and conferences of the event is already full.

At center stage, in term of exhibition, but not only, there will be new materials. In fact, Wednesday, February 29, as indicated by the Italian Association of Science and Technology of Macromolecules (AIM), celebrating the Day of Technology dedicated to “Bioplastics for packaging food, new solutions,” organized in collaboration with its own festival dedicated to packaging, IPACK-IMA.

The aim of the day is information: spread the knowledge of bio-plastics in food packaging, highlighting the achievements, the standards achieved, but also the potential to be developed, to address the problems faced and the relationship with regulations on composting, and animate its debate and discussion on the plastics derived from petroleum.

In particular, the demand of the food packaging industry in Russia increases and, in parallel, also the demand of quality. The answer is “strong and clear”: to meet the needs of customers and consumers, providing solutions that are always up to expectations, increased investment in the renewal of machinery and packaging, the focus is on research, innovation and on technology.

Growing demand expands the business opportunities for international suppliers to offer innovative technologies and complete packaging lines. The best international showcase, in this sense, seems to be UPAKOVA / UPAK ITALY: the first floor platform to establish and maintain business contacts with the Russian packaging market. This is the international trade fair for machinery, production and packaging materials, held in Moscow, 24 to 27 January 2012.

Wrapping

It’s the sustainable packaging the protagonist of the conference, scheduled for Wednesday, November 30 “How to draw the path of sustainable packaging. The role of the industrial distribution sector”, organized by Conai and Ipack-Ima.

The intent behind this event is clear: to analyze critically and technically, thanks to the presence of experts and the presentation of case histories, the scenario of sustainability in Italy and the correct solutions with a view to prevention.

The eco-sustainability of packaging is the only choice, a necessity. The packaging waste represents about 4% of total waste and 23% of municipal waste from separate collection. It’s important to reduce the environmental impact, making the packaging more and more “green”.
