REQUIREMENTS

• Handling very heavy products
• Avoiding the top of the sack from being damaged

• the considerable weight
• the lack of compactness of each individual pack
• there was a considerable difference in texture as the format changed
• the top of the sack had to be folded accurately before being wrapped by the cardboard

Raffaello Multifila proved to be the winning solution; it was equipped with a dedicated system for folding the upper flap of the sacks and the adjustable pushing system solved the problem posed by the varying textures.
