8. NEWPACK Division
Mission:
To give high quality level customised
solutions in order to help our customers
present their products in the best way
and thereby becoming more and more
competitive.
12. Our care for...
- maximum flexibility for the adjustment of
material’s heating temperature (which can be
set on the touch-screen)
- maximum care to the parts to be heated (by
means of heating shaped plates)
- sterilisation of punches and forming
chamber by means of peroxide vapours; use
of sterile moulding air in order to avoid
contamination
- maximum care during the cup forming
phase in order to allow material’s
homogeneous distribution by means of air-
flow adjustment and mechanical punches’
speed adjustment
- mould’s shape realised with CAD/CAM 3D
by a supplier of recognised professional
experience

13. Our care for...
- maximum flexibility in sealing plates heating
temperature’ adjustment (which can be set on
the touch-screen)
- speed at the machine’s start by means of a
bronze electrode with high thermal
conductivity
- maximum precision in centring the drawing
on the cup’s lid thanks to the use of an
automatic centring system controlled by a
photocell which reads the guiding marks
- maximum flexibility in welding plates
pressure’s adjustment to allow the using of
the most different covering materials (for
example: aluminium, mixed-paper, metalised
PET, etc…)
14. Our care for...
- using of cutters with high resistance in steel
K110
- maximum flexibility in hydraulic cutting
pressure’s adjustment in order to set the
exact value and so improving the duration
before it must be re-sharpened.
- trimmers especially designed and
manufactured, on the base of the material’s
characteristics and thickness, by a supplier of
recognised experience
- (dairy creamers) possibility of using, without
any problem, thickness from 0,6 mm up to 1,6
mm (upon request we can produce trimmers
who can reach over 2,0 mm)
15. Our care for...
-careful choice of the best dosing system
based on the different kind of products
- (dairy creamers) using of a volumetric
product control by means of calibrated
chambers individually adjustable which
assure a precision of ± 1%
- tank in overpressure with sterile air, to avoid
contamination and create a head which
smoothly conveys the product through the
feeding channels up to the cup
- automatic program for CIP washing and SIP
sterilisation in closed system. Thermostats
for control, placed in correspondence of the
circuit’s cold points, keep the temperature
stable for the pre-set time.

PRODUCT
ST: Care for the product
18. -NEWPACK thermoforming machines in
aseptic version are equipped with an
additional unit which allows the pre-
sterilisation of both machine and installations
and keeps the environment aseptic during all
the production cycle.
- pre-sterilisation is carried out through two
separated circuits:
1. Sterilisation of dosing unit and filters by means
of steam for the following production of sterile air
2. Sterilisation of filling tunnel, punches, forming
chamber and conveyors for the distribution of
overpressure sterile air, by means of H2O2
vapours
Aseptic Version
19. - the last two phases of pre-sterilisation are
the drying one and the cooling one at the end
of which the machine gets sterilised and
ready to produce.
- all the phases are controlled and managed
by the machine’s software which, by means
of a touch screen panel, guides the operator
preventing wrong operations or not exact
processing sequences.
- suitable alarms advise in case of
machine’s wrong functioning and
suggest what to do in order to go
back to the optimal conditions.
Aseptic Version
20. -Packaging materials are sterilised during
all the packaging cycle, before getting into
the sterile area.
- sterilisation is carried out by means of an
immersion in a tank with H2O2 with a
concentration of 35%.
- drying devices such as mechanical
squeeze rolls, blows of sterile air and sets
of infrared lamps, grant the complete
removal of H2O2 from the two films after
sterilisation.

Aseptic Version
21. -In order to keep steady the sterile conditions
reached during the sterilisation, it has been
foreseen an overpressure of sterile air from
the heating station to the pre-sealing one.
- in case of oxidisable products inert gases
are used instead of sterile air
- all the mechanical commands which are
inside the machine’s aseptic tunnel are
protected by means of steam barriers, the
temperature of which is constantly controlled.
- the films, before leaving the sterile area for
the final sealing and cutting operations, are
pre-sealed along the edges in order to isolate
the product from the external environment.
Aseptic Version
22. - suction hoods are placed on the machine in
correspondence of:
1. Plastic web washing tank
2. Heating and forming station
3. Filling tunnel
4. Aluminium lid washing tank
- they convey the peroxide vapours out of the
production areas.
- the suction is carried out by means of an
electric fun.

23. Maintenance
In order to grant the maximum efficiency in
time, it is necessary to take care of:
• WELDING PLATE
we suggest to control it has a good flatness
and that there are no materials on (with a
machine tool it is possible to get back to the
exact functioning adjusting the surface -
operation suggested 1 time / year - anyway an
additional electrode is always supplied)
• TRIMMER
after a while, depending on the material’s
kind and thickness and his use, the cutters
loose their efficiency (giving the trimmer to a
specialised supplier, it is possible to re-
sharpen the cutters - operation suggested 1
time / each 10 months if they work 8 hours a
day, it means only 1 shift)
Some companies consider the possibility of
having an additional trimmer
• DOSING UNIT AND ASEPTIC EQUIPMENT
seal and filters control (set of spare parts for
dosing unit and aseptic unit are supplied
according to the maintenance plan scheduled)
NEWPACK machines use:
• pneumatic
• hydraulic
• brushless motors
• industrial automation
