Color Service Srl

Automatic Dosing System: Accurate, reliable and eco-friendly Color Service is an Italian excellence and since 1987 has positioned itself as a leading supplier of automatic dosing systems for any kind of powder and liquid product.

With a start in the textile field and thanks to years of experience and know-how, Color Service introduced its unique technology into many markets segments (rubber, tire, cosmetics, plastics) before orienting his innovation into the food industry, where the dosing of powders and liquids requires considerable precision, speed and traceability.

Weighing is a key element of the food production process for quality compliance: dosing the proper amount of ingredients is extremely important to fulfill recipe specifications and constant quality requirements.

In most cases, the food industry’s weighing department employs operators who manually dose raw ingredients, resulting in difficult and complicated management in terms of weighing accuracy. To support this necessity, our technology is designed to solve problems associated with the manual weighing of any kind of powders and liquids applied in the food industry and it is developed with the goal of achieving a safe, fast and precise dosing. The aim is therefore the development of high-efficiency systems that allow to minimize the production costs and boost productivity while also improving final product quality, essential for the competition of all companies.

According to customer’s requirements, Color Sevice offers to the market two solutions of automation: a complete full automatic and a semi automatic weighing system.

Full automatic dosing system

With the full automatic dosing system, all processes are automatically monitored and data are recorded in the software integrated with the customer’s management system. The activity of the operator is exclusively confined in the loading of products into storage silos of various capacities through high-performance vacuum for powders and pump for liquids that guarantee fast loading with low air consumption.

During the dosing, a multi-scale conveyor completely aspirated through a dedicated dust extraction system allows high dosing accuracy of recipes that can be dosed directly into a bucket or in identified bags created in a completely automatic way: this is a fundamental characteristic that allows each individual recipe to be traced. The full automatic system, guarantees high dosing accuracy, batch traceability and modularity of storage stations and according to product consumption and production requirements, the system offers several storage modules of different capacities that could be interchangeable or expanded in the future.

Semi-automatic dosing system

On the other hand, the semi-automatic weighing system can offer a good compromise: the robotic storage of powder products with the manual weighing assisted by a PC. In this way, according to the recipe, the system

drops the right box and transfer it to the weighing position, where the operator, guided by the PC can dose the product.

Key benefits of our automatic dispensing system

By investing in an automatic dosing system, the customer will be able to benefit from a repeatable production process that runs 24 hours a day, is reliable and fast, in which human error is definitively eliminated and which allows leading to high-quality end products with uniformity features throughout time. Systems are userfriendly and software is intuitive and easy to use, allowing a quick and easy understanding.

“Dosing right the first time” as a consequence of accurate and exact dosing of powders and liquids, results in a reduction of product waste, energy/water consumption, processing times and, as a consequence, cost.

From the ecological point of view, Color System technology reduces to zero the exposure for operators to dangerous substances or toxic ingredients and provides absolute control of the dust emitted during the weighing with the use of special suction devices, ensuring total operator safety and environmental protection.

Another significant advantage is the traceability of recipes. Indeed with a manual weighing, in case of non-conformity, it is impossible to identify all the products that are affected by this problem downstream and it is difficult to trace the causes upstream that can be represented for example by an incorrect mixing proportion or from a non-conformity of a specific ingredient. Without expensive labor costs due to manual batch processing and profit loss due to recipe formulation mistakes, companies can begin to boost profits, while offering a superior and uniform product to their customers.

CoreMet Mineral Processing

CoreMet and Virto-Cuccolini: delivering the best solutions for solid/liquid separation and powders or granules classification processes

An effective material handling and classification system is one of the fundamental pillars for many companies operating in the most varied manufacturing sectors. Within many of these processes, the classification of materials through industrial screening is an important step that can determine the quality of the finished product.

For this reason, CoreMet, a company based in Pretoria, South Africa, with an extensive knowledge and experience in dry and wet processing screening across a wide range of industrial materials and ingredients, provides clients with fit-for-purpose solutions from concept to implementation. CoreMet, whose multidisciplinary team is well experienced in detailed plant design, construction and commissioning; selects the best suppliers to support its client’s needs within their process value chain from the start to finish. As it is gradually cementing its material handling footprint in various material processing industries such as heavy minerals, gold, PGMs, diamonds, coal, powder minerals, food and pharmaceuticals; CoreMet turns to Virto-Cuccolini, a historic Italian manufacturer specialised in the construction of industrial vibrating sieves for the classification and separation of powders and liquids.

Virto-Cuccolini and CoreMet’s partnership started in 2017 and offers quality and cost-effective solutions to junior and large companies, to cover different needs, such as:

• Quickly cleaning the product from unwanted pieces during the first phase of the production line. This is achieved with safety screening, created precisely to prevent undesired particles from entering the production cycle.

• Separating a product by particle size. This is the basis for creating, from a bulk ingredient, multiple products of different fractions that cover different market needs.

• Separating materials from free-flowing liquids or even from dense liquids, such as sludges.

• Recovering waste material to transform and use as a new product or as a new second raw material. This is a helpful way to start achieving more sustainability in the production process.

Virto-Cuccolini offers a wide range of sieving equipment in Aisi 304 or Aisi 316, both with ATEX and FDA certifications. The great variety of available sizes gives the possibility to both big-scale industrial projects and small pilot plants to find the best solution. As one of the partnership’s major focus points is preserving its customers’ process quality, a continuous original spare parts supply service is available and can also be arranged on a regular basis, as well as maintenance planning.

A vibrating sieve can serve hundreds of different applications in the food industry, but also in other sectors in which separation and classification of materials constitute an essential part of the manufacturing process. The South African-Italian tandem formed by CoreMet and Virto-Cuccolini will make their highly skilled staff available to satisfy customers throughout the African continent.

In the attached pictures, a brief gallery of the most recent new products from Virto-Cuccolini, ranging from sieving equipment for pharma and food applications, solid/liquid separation like spirulina harvesting to 3D printing metal powders recovery.

Research, development, and technology are at the core of our projects, aiming to strengthen and preserve our region’s traditions and history

Inox Meccanica’s dream has become reality thanks to a life dedicated to an ongoing pursuit of simplicity, quality and constructive efficiency. That is a fruitful marriage that increases speed in production processes. Here they are the driving forces shaping this company’s industrial automation concept. As global market leader since 1975, Inox Meccanica designs and manufactures machinery for meat processing and packaging, focusing on sausage products. Thanks to the experience developed over the years, Inox Meccanica jumped into a diametrically and complementary field, immerging itself into the world dedicated to washing and sanitation of all sorts of production tools and containers, finding the sector cleverly cross-cutting.

1968 is the year of its first patent; a date opening the door to a pride that has persisted for almost fifty years. With the desire to satisfy its customers’ most peculiar and diversified requests, Inox Meccanica has achieved around 50 commercial partnerships which allow it today to cover almost 60 countries all over the world. It manufactures more than eighty machines for industrial plants each year, entirely handmade in Italy, in a workplace covering more than ten thousand square meters. However, the beating heart of Inox Meccanica headquarters consists of almost 100 employees divided between production, warehouse, technical/electrical department, administration, and sales. Staff to whom this company provides an on-going training to ensure a highly competent workforce. So

far, meticulousness has assured the attribute “quality” to Inox Meccanica branded products which, together with a selected dealer network and strategic business partnerships, have ranked the company at the peak of the national and international market. The distinctive quality note associated with the Italianness of Inox Meccanica AISI 304 stainless steel products, coupling with an after-sales service, makes the company’s global expansion visible, reaching all the way to the Americas and Australia.

Upon request, the sales procedure is inclusive of tests if the customer needs to put Inox Meccanica machines to a trial with specific needs and with their own food recipes.

Thanks to an exclusive Pilot Plant Inox Meccanica can test industrial production, both for the development of new products and for the optimisation of traditional production processes. However, the testing does not end just with the packaging procedure. After that, in fact, the food can also be evaluated from a microbiological aspect in the new laboratory, and from an organoleptic and taste angle in a modern, purpose-equipped tasting room.

With its technology Inox Meccanica tries to help its customers achieve higher yields, more efficiency in processes and, above all, products with a high quality level.

Inox Meccanica has been supplying, for 35 years, complete services of innovative technology for automatic industrial machines for meat processing.

The product portfolio is very broad and ranges from machines for pressing, forming and automatic stuffing products in net and casing and the PIC 99 BCE is an example of this.

Since 1987, PIC 99 BCE has been representing the best solution to form, stuff, tighten and clip single muscle products – such as belly-bacon, pork neck, bresaola, hams, loins, roasts and muscles in general – in fibrous, collagen and plastic casing and elastic stockings. You can stuff products in casing and net at the same time with great time and labour savings.

Thanks to the electric pusher, the automatic tubes rotation system, the loading belt and a 1100mm mold, clients can speed up the stuffing process and get more regular and consistent results. The use of the PIC 99 BCE brings several advantages, such as time savings, lower waste of casing and net and a significant reduction of packaging costs.

Thanks to its experience Inox Meccanica can say that PIC 99 BCE is the best solution on the market for the production of long bar to improve and increase yield in slicing.

Malting

Malting work is no longer privilege of big-size industrial producers; in fact, thanks to Zanin, today it is possible to produce excellence in batches of 500 kg max.

60-year experience in drying and air handling meets the requirement of producing large variety of malt and producing special flour, new bases for

bakery products, mixes for intolerant people, and malts for breweries and distillers.

As far as flour is concerned, Zanin has developed a system that receives, weighs and homogeneously mixes the various types of flour as to enable users to always grant far better products and customizable recipes. Thanks to an ISO 9001 TÜV SÜD certified production process, Zanin supplied quality machines and plants designed by means of the best 3D graphic programmes, created, tested and produced in its warehouses.

Zanin is also environmentally friendly and its machines are studied to reduce energy

and fuel consumption, and to eliminate air impurity.

Dust Stop is flagship of the company’s vision of an eco-friendlier world, a patented system that does not disperse powder in the environment during any product unloading operation.
