Multiple packaging arrays addressed by single, fully integrated packaging solution
Architecture flexibility and innovative machine design conquers real-estate and packaging variety challenges Modern secondary packaging solutions have to deliver maximum flexibility and agility, or end users will simply not be able to keep pace with contemporary consumer and market demands. Different products require different packaging arrays. Promotions need different-sized cartons, supermarkets want multiple flavours in one box and consumers want individual packs; but companies cannot afford to buy individual machines for individual demands, they need secondary packaging technology that adapts to their needs, which is why they call upon the Cama Group.
A major part of Cama’s success is the way it demonstrates its commitment to perfection so early in the process. By developing and simulating fully functional pre-designed 3D models of the proposed solutions, it can provide prospective customers with the means to calculate real-estate demands, utility availability & routing, conflicts with other assets or flows and general shopfloor integration.
Not only does this approach foster greater peace of mind much earlier in the process, but it also has a positive impact on lead times, as more issues that would be missed in any other more basic simulation process, can be designed out or circumvented before any build has even commenced.
All Cama machines are part of Cama’s Breakthrough Generation (BTG), incorporating many design features and innovations that have set the standards in the market. The BTG solution comprises
modular, scalable and hygienically designed frameworks, and control architectures that exploit the capabilities of contemporary automation solutions – including advanced rotary and linear servo technology –which can be tightly coupled to in-house-developed robotics. This electromechanical architecture delivers the all-important flexibility and adaptability required by modern packaging operations.
This digital platform also supports full Industry 4.0 capabilities, including AR, VR and virtual testing, training and operation. Cama already has mature AR capabilities, which have been exploited over the past 18 months in multiple projects at every stage, from sales, through design and installation and onto operation. Cama is now taking this as tape further by using AR to help companies with maintenance and spares/replacement parts defined by warranty agreements. Users are presented with unambiguous 3D information and overlays that describe parts that need replacing based on total run time. Once the part and quantity are confirmed, a button press generates a ticket, which instigates contact from the Cama service team.
It is Cama’s commitment to quality and flexibility that ensures that existing customers keep coming back to Cama; while new customer approach us on a daily basis. The company has to listen to the market and give them what they need. Cama can’t force them to choose a best-fit solution from a limited portfolio, which is why we have such a broad range of packaging technologies. Its breadth and depth of market coverage also means it has excellent cross-market technology transfer and can adapt all of its solutions to the most demanding applications.
Defino & Giancaspro “has its roots in the time of mills made by wood”. The company was founded in 1965 in Gravina in Puglia (Bari-Italy) thanks to some craftsmen, whose main occupation was the assembling of milling plants and whose only capital was the work of their hands and their commitment to the world of wheat and cereals.
The master-fitter Vito Antonio Giancaspro, the father of the current General Manager, had many skills in various fields such as carpentry, mechanics, plants and food technology. This “artisan” disposition, after more than 50 years, remains the cornerstone of the company philosophy and is one of its strengths. The company continues nowadays to provide its customers with all the experience and expertise of over one hundred employees with the same passion and enthusiasm.
The goal of the Defino &Giancaspro is not to simply offer a machine or a plant, but to supply all the technologies and means to adapt them to the customer’s requirements.
Just like a high-quality tailored dress, the product meets the customers’ needs but always respect the company style with the unmistakable Made in Italy quality. Engineering, prototyping, research and continuous development ensure always the best solution to the customer. In Defino &
Giancaspro design is meant with the overall conception of work planning, with the aim to turn ideas into product specification through the precious and constant sharing of information between young engineers and expert workers.
The company is a specialist in realization of carbon and stainless steel spouting and accessories, has a pool consisting of more than fifty types of machines in various sizes and operates construction and assembly of structures and silos. Its success lies in the precision and accuracy of working, always realized within their own workshop, and in the use of forefront machinery and certified welding techniques, which offer an excellent finishing and quality.
The service does not end at the delivery of the supply, the relationship with the customer continues through the optimization and the implementation of the new product, ensuring support, maintenance and constant assistance, namely a complete turnkey product.
Plants and machines manufactured and assembled by Defino & Giancaspro are requested and appreciated all over the world. Almost daily and constant are collaborations not only in Italy and Europe, but also with Russia, the United States, Mexico and North Africa.
Proud of their work, everywhere, from the offices to the workshop, all the departments work daily to improve and expand the range of products and services to satisfy both historical and new customers.”

IMF Roasters: innovation and sustainability in coffee roasting
The coffee industry, its market and the entire supply chain have recently taken significant steps towards sustainability, recognising the need to reduce their environmental impact. The process most affected by this dynamic is roasting, a fundamental step in the production of roasted coffee.
In fact, an increasingly larger number of undertakings, even small ones, turn to roasting to make themselves autonomous in the process, as the advantages of quality assurance far outweigh the initial investments. IMF is particularly attentive to intercepting the needs of both small roasters, in need of “entry level” solutions, and large industrial groups, always guaranteeing highquality and sustainable solutions that are, at the same time, technologically advanced. Active since1994, the company led by CEO
Alessandro Garbin is highly specialised in the design, construction and installation of industrial systems with a focus on providing consultancy and know-how for the development of new production units and the integration of existing installations. The specificity of the Occhiobello-based company’s technology lies in the hot-air roasting method, which guarantees great control, consistency and precision of the roasting process, aided by the integrated cooling system which ensures low emission levels, in line with world reference limits. IMF roasters in fact use a single combustion chamber, positioned separately from the machine, which has a twin function: to heat the roasting air to be sent to the drum and simultaneously process the emissions to the atmosphere, ensuring significant fuel savings.
Integrated roasting software makes it possible to manage and continuously check process variables, such as temperature, air volume and drum rotation speed, thus ensuring the perfect repeatability of roasting profiles. Agility and flexibility in managing these parameters enable the IMF machines to roast large quantities of coffee with absolute precision and total reliability. In addition to the roasting process, it is possible to constantly monitor every stage of production, from receipt of the raw product to packaging, through a complete traceability system with remote assistance, developed in-house by IMF Research&Development. Custom-designed and -built system solutions include:
• Receipt, selection and cleaning of green coffee,
• Green coffee storage,
• Roasting and cleaning roasted coffee,

The collaborators and technicians who work with the company every day are an integral part of this story, contributing with their professionalism and expertise to maintaining the high standards that distinguish the brand. During its first century of life, Landucci has faced and overcome numerous challenges, from global economic crises to transformations in the food sector. Each time, the company has been able to adapt, remaining faithful to its solid principles and continuing to invest in research and development. In recent years, attention to sustainability has become a central element of the company’s philosophy, with the introduction of technologies that reduce energy consumption and minimize the environmental impact of production processes.
2025 therefore represents not only an opportunity to celebrate an important historical milestone, but also a moment for reflection, comparison, and the implementation of new commitments. The company has already planned a series of events for its centenary, which will see the participation of customers, partners and historical collaborators, as well as the inauguration and sharing of new projects and investments.
The centenary of Landucci is above all a commitment to future generations; innovation and tradition will continue to be the guiding principles of Landucci, which is preparing to enter the second century of life with the same determination and passion that have accompanied it in the first 100 years.

Around the “totem pole”: line 204. Leavening + Freezing ME Food Solutions lands in Oman, a country on the border between Middle East and Southeast Asia.
And it takes up a no small challenge: the realization of five turnkey production lines for one of the country’s major food processing company dedicated to bakery and pastry.
The “line 204” certainly represents the flagship of this fruitful partnership.
At a first leavening spiral, with a total belt length of 496 m, is followed by a second one, again inserted inside a special cell insulated, dedicated to freezing. 506 meters of conveyor belt at a constant temperature of -33°C, for a calculated freezing time of 60 minutes.
But the real challenge is the delicate leavening process, which ME Food Solutions entrusts to the calibration of a device, the 2ACR Leavener, affectionately called a “totem” in jargon: 2000 liters of water per hour reach a temperature of 60-70°C inside the piping of the facility and are released as air with a capacity of about 15000 m3 per hour.
Gentle air recirculation, constant temperature and humidity are the 3 keys to achieving ad hoc leavening, surely the most delicate food processing. Also considering the production capacity of
the plant: 840 kg of product -in this case unsweetened croissants-each hour.
As always, the flexibility of the ME Food Solutions plants offers the customer the possibility of managing the same machines
to process, on different production cycles, several types of products: in this case smallsized croissants of 20g each, medium-sized ones of 70g, and finally a maxi size of 90g.
From 480 to 810kg of product per hour.
Adjusting the speed of the conveyor belt and other specific parameters makes it possible, both within the leavening cell and in the freezing cell, to perfectly modulate the dwell time for different foods, guaranteeing, in each case, the flawless success of the working process.
Remotely, ME Food Solutions technicians are able, by means of dedicated software, to control the parameters of the plants, offering assistance to the customer at all times: guaranteeing quality in the processing of the product is the primary goal, but this not only does not contrast - indeed goes hand in hand - with the challenge of high productivity on the part of the customer. And that’s not all!
Designing with flexibility means making high-performance plants: in addition to the “totem” the feature of the “204 line” is an articulated by-pass system made possible by the installation of some “lifting” conveyors: these, operating upward or downward, open or close different transit lines for the product (inescapable especially, based on what was said before, given the diversity of foods to be processed).
A line of conveyors in continuity with the two cells allows, as a first route, to avoid rising to
head immediately for freezing while the second option provides both. The implementation of special conveyors, always lifting, ensures in case of production downtime the discharge of the product at the same time with both the first and the second spiral.
Customization after careful listening to the customer is the watchword for ME

PND introduces the new pineapple cutter in tidbits
There is a growing interest revolving around the processing of pineapple, a fruit suitable not only for fresh consumption but also for other types of transformation. Its regular consumption is important in a balanced diet, to fill up on vitamins and other valuable health substances.
PND is one of the leading companies in the production of fruit processing machinery and has made investments in innovation, focusing on the design and development of advanced systems for ready-to-eat products’ companies and for the already established industries in canned, frozen and dehydrated products. Most importantly, it has aimed to provide technological solutions in line with modern consumption habits, creating a new
machine, the APC, specifically designed for pineapple processing.
Its realization took six months, from the initial study of movement to the realization of the first prototype. The machine is currently able to transform pineapples into triangles of tidbits, a standard format strongly demanded by world markets.
Made of food grade stainless steel, it needs only one operator and works in a continuous cycle, with a minimum of 15 and a maximum of 50 fruits per minute.
The production process consists of loading the fruit first on a loading belt, so that the product is transferred to the slicing system. Immediately afterwards, slicing takes place, in accordance with customer specifications. The machine will be part of a dedicated line, in which it will be connected to two manually fed PL4D peelers, both of which produced with remarkable success. The latter, which process between 24 and 28 fruits per minute, perform external peeling: all fruits, even if unsized and irregular, can be easily processed with maximum yield and minimum waste, but above all without affecting their nutritional and organoleptic integrity. The single fruit is loaded into the loading space by the operator and then cored and peeled at an adjustable speed.
The APC cutter has been designed as a result of the continuous demand from customers for cutting tidbits. The cut product is either frozen or dehydrated, thus enjoying a wide range of uses.
It is totally mechanical, therefore simple to use (its components are exchangeable, ideal in terms of maintenance and sanitization), safe, as the die-cuts are protected by casings, and also easily accessible, as it is equipped with doors that can be open, yet with safety sensors. Excellent resistance to both wear and time is also guaranteed. Remarkable versatility of action, ease of use and integration into production processes,
as well as effective and quick maintenance and customer care result not only in lower costs but also in improved results. PND has managed to win the trust of both industry technicians and customers, who recognize its machineries as a unique partner. In fact, it is able, thanks to its ability to listen to the customer, to give a prompt response to its purchasers with specific processing lines. The fact of being able to provide high quality products and constant care, within an increasingly globalized and competitive market context, represents an added value that does make the difference.
It is possible to visit the website www.pndsrl. it in order to consult the catalog of available machineries and examine the available lines, as well as all the international trade fairs in which the company has taken and will take part.
