The company has specialised in the procurement, storage, processing and packaging of fresh fruit products, particularly apples, pears, plums and, above all, cherries, which are typical of the area where the company is located.<\/p>\n<p>Alponfrutta also places great emphasis on collaboration with its suppliers and is distinguished by the high flexibility of its operational structure. The company directly manages and oversees every stage of the process, in order to optimise and meet each customer\u2019s specific requirements.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #f44611;\">THE REQUEST<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Alponfrutta turned to REV driven by the need to <strong>automate the cherry packaging process in punnets and clamshells<\/strong>, which had previously been carried out manually, with a significant expenditure of time, energy and costs.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #f44611;\">OUR SOLUTION<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>REV designed and built a <strong>customised packaging system<\/strong> that enabled Alponfrutta not only to automate weighing and filling operations, but also to change the container format independently and quickly, according to production needs.<\/p>\n<p>The line, which ensures a production up to <strong>80 punnets per minute<\/strong>, consists of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.revsrl.com\/en\/portfolio\/bison-punnets-delicate-weigher\/\"><strong>Bison<\/strong><\/a> weigher, <strong>extremely fast and gentle<\/strong> in handling the product;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.revsrl.com\/en\/portfolio\/punnets-denester\/\"><strong>U5-203<\/strong><\/a> denester\u2013filler, capable of <strong>handling 5 punnets simultaneously<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.revsrl.com\/en\/portfolio\/click-clamshell-closing-machine\/\"><strong>Click<\/strong><\/a>, a clamshell closing machine <strong>able to process 5 punnets per cycle<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to speed, the line introduces a significant innovation in terms of format changes: whereas previously a fairly experienced operator was required, along with numerous mechanical adjustments resulting in extended machine downtime, the solution developed by REV allows <strong>format changes to be carried out easily<\/strong> through just a few simple and quick operations.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #f44611;\">BENEFITS<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Thanks to REV\u2019s packaging line, the client <strong>reduced labour of more than 65%<\/strong> and, at the same time, <strong>tripled the daily production<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Dupi also managed to obtain a great <strong>saving on the materials<\/strong>, since Tiger netting machine guarantees minimum waste of the latter.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;2&#8243; back_color=&#8221;color-115983&#8243;
