Horizontal / Vertical Stainless Steel Packaging Machine

All our packaging machines are available in the stainless steel version on request.

CRIMA INOX for example is a packaging/bagging machine capable of working in a horizontal, inclined or vertical position.
The position is chosen by the operator, using a handwheel, to make inserting the product more convenient.

The CRIMAINOX packaging machine works with different types of flat film reels: Polypropylene, Polythene, laminates of Polythene + Polypropylene / Polypropylene + Polyester / Paper + Polythene + Polypropylene, smooth, perforated, printed, transparent, polythene mesh.

CRIMA, the secret of success

CRIMA was the first packaging and bagging machine with a packaging system patented by Lorapack (it can work in horizontal, inclined and vertical positions). The success of this machine did not hesitate to present itself, because it is precisely this invention that makes CRIMA an innovative and versatile product, requested by customers all over the world for various sectors such as bakery, fruit and vegetable, butchery and mechanics.

Particular signs of the packaging machine

CRIMA can reach up to approximately 33 beats per minute (depending on the size of the product to be packaged and the type of film used).
CRIMAandCRIMA FAST,furthermore, they are composed of a longitudinal group of sealing wheels made up of three pairs: this group allows packaging with thicker film, in a modified atmosphere with coupled film (insertion of gas or alcohol into the bags to avoid the formation of mould, eliminating the oxygen and increasing the life of the product).
The coil holder is bridge type, max width 700 mm as standard, max reel external diameter 250 mm.
The control and command touch panel is included in the packaging machine.

Other details of CRIMA

With this packaging and bagging machine our customers can use various types of films (printed, smooth, perforated, transparent, mesh) in polypropylene, polythene and polythene laminates.
The possibility of processing various types of film is given by the sealing bars, specifically designed for this type of material.
With CRIMA it is possible to package horizontally (such as trays, tubs with low edges, etc.) by connecting the machine to the optional loading and unloading belts, or with the unloading chute, also optional, if it involves inclined packaging.

Optional

Among the accessories available in Lorapack, we provide our customers with devices for gas injection and alcohol spray.
The device for preheating the wheels is also available: it is used to heat another pair of wheels, extending the sealing time of the film (for an airtight seal even of thicker films).
When the products to be packaged exceed 700 millimeters and a reel with larger dimensions is needed, the structure of the machine changes and becomes CRIMA 1000: a packaging machine that we make to measure and where the reel can reach 1000 millimeters in width (ideal for packaging panettone, kilo loaves and other products).

FAQ

The range of products that can be packaged with the patented Lorapack machines is potentially infinite: meat; fruit and vegetables; bakery and pastry products; technical, textile and hardware products; hobby and do-it-yourself products; picture frames; wooden profiles; home accessories (handles, curtain poles, etc.).

Products can be packaged in bulk or in trays (such as cheese, berries, cherry tomatoes), and even disposable place settings for restaurants and pizzerias (bag with cutlery and paper napkin inside). The maximum dimensions of the product are conditioned only by the size of the coil you choose to use.

However, it is not recommended to use Lorapack packaging machines to package: fragile materials (glass, ceramic); products containing a lot of liquids (juices, sauces, mozzarella with liquid); very fine powders (flours, yeast, talc)

All heat-sealable films can be used, such as polythene, polypropylene, polyester, laminated films and even biodegradable and compostable materials.

The substantial difference between the two models is the speed, which is much greater in CRIMA FAST. Thanks to the presence of the loading belt, which is standard for this machine, and the translating cutting and sealing jaws, CRIMA FAST is able to increase the speed of packaging, reaching up to 50 packages per minute.

Subsequently, it is sufficient to move the loading belt and CRIMA FAST is able to work with the same degrees of inclination as a traditional CRIMA.

All the machines, with the exception of the EASY CRIMA, are compatible for modified atmosphere packaging, with alcohol or gas.

Given the small size and not very high speed of EASY CRIMA, the addition of modified atmosphere packaging would further slow down the work, and is therefore not recommended.

No, Lorapack machines require very little technical assistance, as they are easy to use. If necessary, it may be sufficient to request technical assistance via telephone.

Naturally, to prevent the machinery from having problems, it is necessary to carry out normal cleaning actions at the end of the production cycle.

Of course! If the environment in which the Lorapack machine is used is humid, or if barrel washing is used, it is possible to request that the machine be made of stainless steel.

For the first few times when you are not yet familiar with it, it takes 5, 6 minutes to change the coil. Once you’re familiar with it, it takes about 1 and a half minutes.

The machines use flat sheet films; not single-fold or tubular films.
