per dare una risposta concreta alle esigenze di mercato. Molti operatori si sentono affaticati già dopo poche ore di lavoro e riportano fastidiose conseguenze fisiche nel lungo periodo, come ad esempio dolori cronicizzati alle mani e alle spalle, tunnel carpale e altri disturbi. Inoltre, spesso una persona sola non è sufficiente per una raccolta e pallettizzazione scatole adeguata alla velocità delle piegaincollatrici. Vega Rotopack - abbinata a Vega Easypack - aiuta l’operatore automatizzando questo processo. L’intento è l’automatizzazione completa: Rotopack può essere abbinata a qualsiasi legatrice, in modo che le scatole siano pallettizzate e legate; processo che consente la presenza di una sola persona per tutta la linea”.

Vega Easypack and Rotopack: automation and versatility at the highest levels THE WORLD OF PACKAGING IS CONSTANTLY DEVELOPING AND VEGA SRL - HISTORIC COMPANY LOCATED IN PADERNO DUGNANO (MILAN) - IS ALWAYS ATTENTIVE TO THE NEW NEEDS OF CUSTOMERS AND PARTNERS
“S
ince 1947 our focus and know-how have been unique: we produce folder-gluers, in a dynamic balance that allows us to evolve and at the same time synthesize only the best of our 70 years of experience in the sector. The result that makes us most proud is having reached the highest levels of automation, speeding up the production process and improving the quality of the work of the operators at the end of the line”, says Jacopo Nava, president of Vega Srl. All this is made possible thanks to Vega Easypack and Rotopack, unique solutions

that facilitate and allow the semi-automatic and automatic collection of boxes. Both are the result of the synergy between Vega Srl and Claudio Pini, former owner of Revicart: Vega Srl has acquired its know-how, and now he is a collaborator of Vega also in the field of design and development of new technologies. EASYPACK AND ROTOPACK IN DETAIL Vega Easypack counts and separates the shingled folded boxes from the folder-gluer pressure mat to create parcels of boxes. With a careful and accurate analysis of the
types of boxes that the customer produces, it is possible to offer various collection solutions starting from a semi-automatic solution with single or fully automatic strapping. Also available are the counting, formation and ejection of the parcel with automatic in-line strapping by means of two heads. The advantage? No longer having to manually collect and separate the stacks of boxes to be strapped (a tiring operation that often causes delays in the processing phases), the folder-gluer reaches maximum productivity. Vega Rotopack, on the other hand, was created to rotate, overturn and overlap every single half-parcel of boxes, preparing it for the most suitable palletizing process. Rotopack palletizes up to 6 half-parcels in a single parcel of boxes, before strapping operation. Fully automated, it can be connected to any strapping unit on the market and used in line with any Vega folder-gluer. Both Vega Easypack and Vega Rotopack are compatible with every type of box on the market: in-line, with automatic bot-
tom, with 4 or 6 corners in the dimensions 220x200 up to 1200x1200 mm. FACE TO FACE WITH CLAUDIO PINI, VEGA SRL COLLABORATOR AND EX-OWNER OF REVICART How do Vega Easypack and Vega Rotopack improve productivity and production efficiency? “Automating the end of line has always been the most frequent request from customers and both machines arrive to give a concrete response to market needs. Many operators feel fatigued already after a few hours of work and report annoying physical consequences in the long term, such as chronic pain in the hands and shoulders, carpal tunnel and other issues. Furthermore, often one person alone is not enough to collect and palletize boxes at an adequate speed of folder-gluers. Vega Rotopack, combined with Vega Easypack, helps the operator by automating this process. The intent is complete automation: Rotopack can be combined with any
