Packology, international visitors for Ronchi

A delegation of US Executives dropped this morning into the Ronchi booth.

The number of visitors increases every day at Packology, the show dedicated to the packaging and automation world, which inaugurated its first edition in Rimini with the cooperationship of UCIMA (the Italian Association of Packaging Machinery Manufacturers) and they do not miss to pay a visit to our stand located just at the entrance of Hall A3.

Today we have received visitors from across the Atlantic ocean, curios to see our Filling-Capping Monoblock; they enjoyed spending their time among the tables inside the booth, with their eyes pointed to the EXACTA/R 32/12 in operation.

The attention is drawn by the strong points of the EXACTA/R: capping operation by means by capping heads controlled by servomotors, filling operation through flow-meters, no-tool rapid format change-over, high performance sanitary execution with CIP/SIP washing and sterilizing systems managed from the operator’s panel in a very quick manner.

Hispack focus on packaging

Barcelona (Spain) in is these days the capital of the packaging.

  • Capping operation by means of capping heads driven by servomotors.
  • Highly sanitary execution.
  • Inclined baseframe surface to ensure its accurate cleaning.
  • CIP / SIP cleaning systems.
  • Automatic washing system in a closed circuit, managed from the operator’s panel.

It’s a matter of cap

Nowadays the distinctive communication of  product goes through the cap too.
The cap is not only a simple closing instrument, it is integrant part of the packaging. And there are so many cap types to cover all tastes: from the original graphic to the particular or functional shape, like the clever cap designed by Jeong Hoon Cha who has conceived the obviousness which, however was not present on the marketplace so far.
Leaving unchanged the internal part destined to be screwed on the bottle neck, he has modified the cap shape – characterized by a slightly ellitic shape instead of a circular geometry – so creating a more ergonomic shape studied to be hosted in the hand  between thumb  and forefinger So, with the little finger, the game is done.
Also the companies manufacturing capping machines have naturally followed this evolitive trend, launching on the market high technology solutions; among these, Messrs. Ronchi propose capping machines controlled by brushless motors full responding to requirements of extreme flexibility.
Thanks to a quick and simple system to replace the chucks, the machine easily adapts itself to whichever application, such as press-on caps, screw-on caps with torque control through servomotors, caps to be oriented, caps with predetermined closing position.

Roll-on deodorant, descendant of ballpoint pen

Roll-on deodorant was invented at the end of years 1940 in the United States.

The intuition came to Helen Barnett Diserens while observing an invention that at those times was revolutionizing the handwriting: the ballpoint pen

Ink flew perfectly dosed while rolling on a ball. So she thought: why not using the same mechanisms in the cosmetics?

And it is how the roll-on came to light, a system that, from that moment on, has become one of the most utilized applicators worldwide.

In pocket version, ergonomic shapes, dosing practicality, the roll-on is a quite committing challenge for the packaging conditioning companies, as it requires more and more sophisticated filling and capping solutions.
