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.

Packology, the show organized by the Italian packaging machine manufacturers, is going ahead in a very good way.
The new event, that will open the doors on the 8th June next in Rimini, has already gathered consents and positive reactions from the companies operating within the industry.

An important agreement has been reached upon with PMMI (Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute), the prestigious U.S. category association counting 500 associated companies: PMMI will attend the show and will supply its associates with all useful and exhaustive information about the new Rimini show.
Thanks to this agreement, the US market, representing one of the main targeting markets for the Italian exporters, will so constantly be involved and up-dated about Packology.

Also, the exhibition lay-out has been finalized: it contemplates three macro-sectors: food & beverage; cosmetic, chemical and pharmaceutical industries; end-of-line technology, handling logistic and packaging.

There are less than 5 months to the first edition of Packology, the packaging show UCIMA - the Italian Association of Automatic Packaging Machinery Manufacturers - has strongly demanded and wanted.

The exhibition will take place in June 2010 at the Rimini Fairground.

UCIMA associated companies have positively and warmly responded to this new initiative

Gianmario Ronchi, owner of Ronchi Mario Spa and councillor of the Association, explains the reasons:

‘Packology is the show organized and wanted by the Italian Manufacturers of automatic machines. German and American manufacturers who, altogether, hauls the market, have since long moved in this direction by organizing their own exhibitions.

Expectations are those of having the possibility of structuring the event by responding to the requirements and suggestions of exhibitors. Through Ucima, which represents us, the manufacturers can really “build-up” their own show, being well aware of the requirements of the companies operating within this industry’

We remind that the new show will occupy a space of 64000 squared meters.

Interesting facilitations are foreseen for exhibitors, aimed at allowing their participation in large numbers. This show wants to be the event of the upswing after the worldwide economic recession that poured its effects on this industry as well, even if it has reacted very well thanks to the high technological level of the offer.

It is the new filler realized by Ronchi ‘EXACTA/R 18/6S’, which incorporates a capping station too. The new machine ensures high performances in terms of sanitization and wash-up of an absolute technological prominence, unique in the industry of the automatic machinery destined to the packaging industry.

It has been introduced at worldwide level for the first time at the Hispack Show held in Barcelona on last May and proposed on the American continent at the Las Vegas Pack-Expo show in October. A breakthrough which encountered the unanimous interest of the industry operators.

Distinctive features:

• Inclined base frame surface to ensure its accurate clearing
• CIP/SIP clearing system
• Automatic washing system in a closed circuit, managed from the operator’s panel
• Reduction of waste residual generated by the washing and/or product change operations
• Reduction of washing time and improvement of its efficiency
• Automatic emptying of the machine by removal of all bottles inside before a washing and/or product change operation

Thanks to its peculiar features, it is particularly recommended for all those sectors whereas a very frequent format change over is necessary: chemical, cosmetic, household industries.

It rarely happens to sell a machine during a show.
And when this happens, it sounds like a sensational news.
During Propack Asia Show, one of the most important exhibitions of the packaging industry, which took place last June in Bangkok, Ronchi displayed its EXACTA filler, encountering unanimous interest from the industry operators and finalizing the sale directly on the booth.
This confirms the positive and immediate answer of the Asian market, which appreciates the technological capability of the Italian packaging manufacturers.
