Technologies for industrial bags, but not only

28 September 2016

Established in 2013 as the evolution of SGS, a company in operation since 1994, SGS Italia is based in Montale, near Pistoia, and specializes in the construction of plastic film welding lines and accessories. As well as boasting the technical skills inherited from its experience as SGS, the company can also count on organizational flexibility and its capacity of providing a prompt response to the needs of processors, which has allowed it to acquire a significant market share, especially in Europe.

In fact, approximately 70% of SGS Italia output is destined to Europe, with Greece and France being at the top of the list, while approximately 20% is sold in Italy and the remainder is destined to North Africa and Turkey. It still remains a family run business - with Gaetano, Giovanni and Stefano Stanzione making up the management - and it has a dozen employees and is enjoying a significant growth in turnover.

The Tuscan manufacturer is taking part at the K in Düsseldorf (hall 3, stand G90) for the first time, with catalogues, videos, simulations and production tests in order to present its entire range. With great attention being given to the Cronoroll - I, and Cronotek lines.

The Cronoroll - l range is the true diamond in the crown of the company production and has been developed for the production of pre-cut industrial bags (the I in the name stands for industrial) wrapped on rolls and destined to the packaging of several products in different application fields, from plastics granules for processors to rubbles in the building sector, right up to agricultural product conservation.

They are available with widths between 1,100 and 3,100 mm (with working widths of 1,050 and 3,000 mm respectively), the line being made up of modular elements which make configuration possible to suit production needs. The main equipment being a winder that is capable of producing reels with diameters between 150 and 400 mm, a store for the automatic changing of the cardboard cores and an automatic reel unloading system. The mechanical speed varies from between 150 and 220 cycles per minute respectively in the 3,100 and 1,100 mm wide versions.

The Cronotek line is specifically for the production of industrial bags, which, unlike the previous model, are “loose” rather than wrapped on rolls, and collected by means of an automatic conveyor table. This model also distinguishes for the significant width of 3,100 mm, to which is added to exceptional high speed and production simplicity.

The manufacturer also produces a range of accessories that can be installed both on its own welding units as well as on extrusion lines. This includes the Cronoline pre-cutting and welding line, which forms the heart of the Cronoroll - I line, but which can be used in-line with extruders, so that it fitted with wheels that facilitate movement within the production department. It has an excellent production yield and reaches extraction speeds up to 180 metres per minute. The accessories also include the Sealine 45° unit for slant 45° welding on the gussets. It is also highly versatile and can be adapted to any welding or extrusion line. Both these accessories are controlled by 4 servomotors, which always ensure perfect film tautness and constant, high quality sealing.
