The core concept behind 6+6 remains unchanged: a system designed to minimise waste and optimise the composition of each dose. With Linearpack, this principle is reinterpreted in a linear layout.

Linearpack organizes work in a structured, precise, and repeatable way, ensuring maximum product quality control. However, the linear arrangement, combined with intermittent movement, reduces operators’ movements and makes the workflow even smoother than with Rotopack.

Ergonomics become central: more operational space, fewer manipulations, and a smoother work sequence allow operators to work more comfortably and efficiently. The result is a line designed to support even higher productivity levels.

The clear separation between weighing and packaging phases allows each operator to focus on a specific task, reducing errors and idle time.

Thanks to its design, Linearpack can also be integrated with an automatic punnet denester, a key element for managing higher production flows.

In short, if Rotopack set the pace in limited spaces, Linearpack pushes it forward along a line designed for speed, ergonomics, and productivity: two interpretations of the same concept, offering targeted solutions for different production contexts.

This year, REV is also taking a few days of sun and relaxation, but don’t worry: it won’t even be time to say “summer” before we’re back with you.

From August 11^th to 15^th, our offices and production will be closed for a very short break, but we know well that emergencies never take a holiday: even during the closure, you can count on our assistance service!

Our technicians will be available from August 11^th to 14^th, every morning from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. You can contact them here:

We’ll see you soon and, in the meantime, happy holidays to those taking a break

In February 2025, the PPWR, Regulation (EU) 2025/40 on packaging and packaging waste, entered into force.

The regulation updates and complements the previous texts with some new provisions.

Environmental labelling, meaning the obligation to indicate the composition and methods of reuse and recycling on all packaging, has been discussed for decades.

This very sensitive issue has been addressed repeatedly:

• Since 2006, it has been mandatory to identify the material each package is made of, to provide clear instructions for recycling.
• In 2020, these indications were required to become clearer and more transparent for consumers as well, theoretically introducing a note on how to dispose of the packaging or an invitation to check with local regulations.
• In practice, however, disposal instructions were postponed multiple times and only became fully mandatory in 2023.
• So, what happens in 2025?

The 2025 PPWR establishes that labels must be standardised across the EU – a major step forward for consumers, who currently face unclear and inconsistent information.

To overcome the space limitations of physical labels, a digital format will also be adopted, which is QR codes to provide all relevant details.

From 12 August 2026, once the European Commission has defined (and hopefully explained) the standards of these harmonised labels, all packaging producers must comply with initial goals:

• demonstrate the exact composition of their packaging;
• reduce excessive weight and volume (no more than 50% empty space inside the packaging);
• eliminate hazardous substances from packaging and recycled materials;
• begin applying the principle of design for recycling, which requires that by 2030, all packaging on the market must be at least 70% recyclable.

Penalties will already be applied from 2026 for non-compliance with the initial objectives. In 2028, Harmonised and Digital Labelling will officially come into force, although a transition period will allow companies to sell off existing stocks.

But that’s not all: from 2029, in countries where recycling targets are not met, deposit return systems will be introduced to encourage the recycling of plastic and metal beverage containers.

There is still talk of banning single-use plastics, even for unprocessed fruit and vegetables under 1.5 kg.

While this ban makes perfect sense for some products, it’s not appropriate for fresh produce.

Products that will definitely be banned include: ultralight plastic bags (unless used as primary packaging), baggage wrapping at airports, packaging for food and drinks consumed on site in hotels, restaurants and bars, disposable plates, cups and cutlery, and single-use cosmetics in the hospitality sector.

As for fruit and vegetables, no need to panic for now: each Country will define when plastic is strictly necessary for hygiene and safety reasons, and to avoid food waste. This principle will certainly apply to meat, cold cuts and fish – and hopefully also to tons of fruit and vegetables that would otherwise end up in the bin.

What is Dyno?

Dyno is a dynamic checkweigher designed to verify the weight of packaged products in motion, without stopping the production line.

Checkweighing  is not just a legal matter: it’s not only about complying with regulations that require declaring a minimum package weight, but above all, it’s beneficial for you!

Why give away your product when you can monitor and verify the exact weight of every single unit? Using a checkweigher is a great advantage for everyone – packagers and consumers.

Dyno’s technology is based on a weighing system with an optional separate diverter that eliminates vibrations on the scale, ensuring extremely precise measurement at any processing speed.

Moreover, Dyno is ultra-quiet, aesthetically really elegant, ergonomic and easy to use thanks to the touch-screen panel that simplifies the management of operational parameters. But there is more.

Dyno is solid and robust, built with state-of-the-art components particularly resistant to wear, and features an IP65 protection rating that makes it very easy to sanitise.

Maintenance is also simple and immediate: the conveyor belts are removable without tools and every part is safely accessible.

What does this mean? Dyno is simply ideal for industrial environments where hygiene and durability are a must!

6+6 and Vega, together, offer maximum versatility, speed up production, and optimise resource management. This tailor-made combination ensures flawless communication between the machines, reducing costs and processing times without compromising quality, even with the most delicate products.

6+6 and Vega are the ideal combination to maximise your line’s efficiency and precision:

• Reduced labour costs: automatic feeding means fewer operators are needed, allowing for higher production in less time.
• Up to 90% giveaway reduction: the combination weigher delivers ultra-precise doses, reducing excess weight tenfold compared to a manual scale.
• Lower processing costs: fewer workers and significantly less giveaway translate into much lower operating costs.
• Boosted productivity: with lower costs, minimal product giveaway, fewer processing issues, and more packages produced in less time, your line’s performance soars.
