AL.MA. at Interpack 2011

AL.MA. Packing and Packaging Machinery for over 30 years has been designing and manufacturing Automatic Thermoforming Machines made in stainless steel and able to pack different kinds of food products such as: fresh pasta, dairy products, cold cuts, bakery, confectionery, fish, fruit, vegetables, rolls, sandwiches, gastronomic products, honey, chocolate cream, jam, …. They are different products but with the same need: hygiene.

The materials used in the construction of these machines, from the frame to the guards, are made in stainless steel or other special materials, ensuring high corrosion resistance even in "difficult" working conditions. Furthermore, the shape of all protection panels are designed to avoid the stagnation of product leftovers or water used during the cleaning of the machine.

The system used to create the vacuum and the following injection of  inert gas inside each package allows a twofold effect: to obtain an optimal distribution of gas in each pack, even in large machines and to have an important saving of the  plastic film used.

AL.MA.'s “lean and flexible” structure allows it to realize tailored made machines according to customers production requirements. Therefore, it is  not the result of the connection of standard modular elements, that can lead up to excessive achievements in relation to real needs. Each project therefore takes into consideration the available space for the installation of the machine, the required productivity and all the necessary equipments. We can realize both simple compact machines (3,5 – 4 m.) and complex lines with the following main features:

• special tools for the quick formats change;


• automatic opening of the forming and sealing heads;


• double format already installed in the machine (double pre-heating station, double forming;


• station, double sealing station and double cutting station); formats change by selecting the


• relative program on the touch screen control panel;


• total die-cut stations or traditional ones for rigid films and breaking-down knives for flexible;


• films, both installed on the same machine;


• installation of any kind of printing systems with personalized solutions;


• automatic labelling systems installed on the machine, after the sealing station, with the possibility;


• to label both the top and the bottom of the packs;


• installation of in-line analyzers (oxygen/carbon dioxide).
