The entire production process is managed in-house right from the design phase.
Ours is an integrated system, in which every single aspect
of production is assessed and optimised at every step of the chain:

ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT OF CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS;

RAW MATERIAL SELECTION;

DESIGN, CREATION AND SUBMISSION OF THE 3D DESIGN TO THE CUSTOMER;

PILOT MOULD CONSTRUCTION AND SAMPLING;

CONSTRUCTION OF THE CUSTOMISED MOULD;

PRODUCTION AND FINISHING;

WASTE RECOVERY AND REUSE.

THE PRODUCTION CYCLE CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING STAGES

Based on the customer’s specific requirements, a preliminary 3D is prepared as a starting point for initial approval. Then, the mathematical model is developed for the CAM software required for production. This ensures that the final product corresponds as closely as possible to the initial request in the development phase.

We can quickly design and manufacture the necessary moulding equipment, both in metal and special resin. A fast and efficient process also makes it possible to produce prototypes of our articles in a short time, so that we can promptly submit them to our customers.

3 production lines for extrusion and co-extrusion of mono-materials and multilayers up to 7 layers.

24 automatic reel-fed thermoforming lines and 7 manual loading lines for large formats:

– maximum format on lines

– maximum format on sheet lines 2500×1800

– thicknesses on sheet-to-sheet moulding lines 2mm to 10mm

– thicknesses on reel-fed moulding lines 150my to 2500my.

– 3 automated cutting lines.

– Our cutting machines are equipped with templates designed and manufactured in-house to optimise the coupling of thermoformed parts and supports.

– These templates make it possible to adapt the machines to different cutting geometries.

– Powerful vacuum pumps ensure perfect material adhesion during the machining process. This improves cutting accuracy, minimises waste and ensures the final product quality.

By heating an area of the sheet at a defined temperature, we can bend any product to the desired angle. Radiant heating takes place by placing the sheet above the heated line at the point where bending is required. Heating can take place on one or both sides. The absence of direct contact between the heat source and the sheet to be bent ensures uniform heating and perfect bending. The heated material can reach the desired position without returning to its original position once cooled.

Our products are manufactured by assembling previously thermoformed and precision-cut plastic parts using 5-axis robots. Assembly using CNC templates can be done by ultrasonic welding for a solid and durable connection. Alternatively, adhesives specifically developed for the different types of material to be joined can be used to ensure effective and strong adhesion. Special inserts made of metal or rubber can also be placed at certain points of the thermoformed parts to further improve the strength and durability of the final assembly.

MATERIALS

Ideal for water, petrol, waste, chemical and automotive containers. Perfect for outdoor applications withstanding temperature fluctuations. Abrasion and low temperature resistant.

Ideal for short-life, mainly disposable, non-technical products such as food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics.

Smooth or embossed, it is used in technical sectors, for casings and containers in all sectors, internal parts for freezers and refrigerators. It offers good impact resistance and thermal stability (even at low temperatures.)

As an alternative to PC, it is wear-resistant, has excellent transparency, and does not require pre-drying before processing. It is ideal for lids, shelters and transparent domes for all industries.

Ideal for surface applications, when co-extruded it offers excellent resistance to moisture, chemicals and corrosion.

This material is ideal for components exposed to high temperatures (up to 130 °C), moisture and sunlight and for lighting engineering applications. It is pre-dried before processing.

Ideal for food containers, it is highly impermeable and does not absorb moisture.  It is also resistant to chemicals and high temperatures.

Ideal for blister packs and tanks, it is chemically resistant, self-extinguishing and high-frequency weldable.

Ideal for food trays, this material is biodegradable, compostable and transparent.

Ideal for neutral or colourful trays of all kinds, this material is made from maize starch and is biodegradable.
