The Ponti group, a historical Italian company and European leader in the production of wine vinegar, producing over 32 million litres, with an annual production exceeding 54 million bottles in the vinegar sector and over 25 million jars of preserves, has recently signed a contract with GEA Procomac Packaging to supply a downstream palletising system for its plant in Ghemme (NO).
The technical features, the proven reliability of the machine and the strong relationship of trust established between the two companies over the years, are the basic components of this preferential partnership as has resulted in the placement of a sixth order.
The supply consists in a new OPERA 1000 with single - low level product infeed palletiser replacing the existing one and additional infeed conveyors.
The line is dedicated to the small formats of balsamic vinegar of 250 ml, for this reason the machine is equipped with a motorised divider unit from 1 to 3 ways placed on the infeed conveyors that allows to reduce the layer preparation time and to reach the production speed of 19.800 bph with the format 3x2 pack 250 ml.
