The technology and precision of Exacta know no boundaries. Among the versions of the filling Exacta XP by Ronchi, which provides maximum safety, even in the presence of potentially hazardous liquids.

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.

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.

Completed washing, a further guarantee of hygiene and safety, the parts in contact with the product may be subject to strict sterilization process.

The term “Lean production” was coined by the U.S. scholars  James Womack and Daniel Jones. In their book  (Machine That Changed the World, 1989) they have been the first ones confronting the performances achieved by  the production system of the main car producers worldwide with the ones achieved by the Japanese Toyota, through an in-deep analysis of the reasons leading to a net superiority of this latter when compared to all other competitors.

Since then, it has become an industrial philosophy that – considering the productive process in its whole – aims at minimizing every sort of waste till they are definitely annulled, wastes deriving from  correction, overproduction, motion, material movement, waiting, inventory and process. 

Practicing the  Lean Thinking  within the frame of its own company requires a radical change in the corporate culture that must begin from the top management. A challenge that the companies operating in the packaging industry accept every day. 

Lean production process requires a special attention in terms of safety, so that the elimination of wastes does not lead to increasing dangers. And about an indispensable approach based on a strict inter-dependence between the two aspects,  a subcommittee of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) of Washington has fixed some technical standards  ‘ Technical Report for Machines’ , applicable  to whichever machinery, including the ones of the packaging industry, of course.
