Technology and Service in the Production of bags 

(From the review “Plast” - July - August 2006)

 

2006 is an important year for BA.S.FF, manifacturing company of welders for the production of bags and small  bags.  First of all, because it has been inaugurated the new Scandicci (Florence) general head-quarter. 

 

The new center has become necessary in order to encounter the production and trade requirements.  The technical office is strengthening, in order to project and to support clients better and better.  The availability of the wide space will surely allow a meaningful potentiality increase of the company.

Continuous modernization of Technology 

Also about the machineries there is not lack of innovations.    To complete the range, BA.S.FF has made a new machine for precutting and welding online and outside line.   LEM has been developed: can operate online with installation of the extrusion and the rewinding system added to the machine.   With the exception of the monoproduct specific machine, BA.S.FF always has moved in the direction of the employment flexibility.  The rewinder can therefore operates also with the machine projected for production of open bags.  

 

For a Swedish customer, one of the main European transformers, three welders had been produced , which can work outside or  online  (with one, two or three coils)  and moreover they have the particularity of being able to be moved from an estrusor to the other (by two operators) thanks to the fact that they are mounted on special tracks.  The working program can be adapted to the two various configurations.

Contrary to the actual trend , BA.S.FF makes its machineries completely in Italy, without taking advantage of foreign production, cheaper but  penalizing the quality.

 

We must remember that the  machines sold, are always carried out under the supervision of the two proprietors, Luciano Frosali and Enrico Barbaraci, who take part directly near the purchaser to guarantee the seriousness, precision and care of details.   This strategy has allowed to obtain a high level of satisfaction and faithful customers.  


Control and Software System

The  BA.S.FF welders are equipped with PLC for the control of movements.   Computers governs the automatic and logical functions.   Thanks to the adopted solutions, the machines can work completely on their  own, simple and in a reliable way.   The BA.S.FF welders are in a position to work with a wide range of materials, also very critical, minimizing the wastes. 

 

The Fair 

The final judgment on the Plast fair of Milan has been positive, on the amount and quality of visitors, many coming from the growing markets like the Russian, Rumanian and Turk.    Also numerous Italian customers, serious interested, of which many coming from southern Italy, a geographic area in which has been found a quick understanding market with new customers and consolidated the relationships already existed.    During the fair some contracts were signed,  considered as a sporadic event

 

The machine that was exhibited was sold in Greece, a country in which BA.S.FF is deeply rooted to.    For these results  a fundamental contribution comes from the  agents who have contributed with their professionality giving force and success to the BA.S.FF brand.    Often, in fact, it is not sufficient to have very good products if you don't have the capacity to make them known.    For this purpose BA.S.FF has professionals who can solve this task.  These, besides assuring the success of the company, supply a precious service to the customers guiding them towards the timely market with the best technical and strategic choices.

 

Productivity and Reliability 

In occasion of the Plast Basff, BA.S.FF has introduced HORUS thermo-welding.   This machine has obtained the affirmation on the Italian and foreign market for its up to date production, reliability and versatility construction that helps to face the competitiveness of a changing market in the best of ways, giving freedom to produce variation in real time; moreover the quality / price allows to increase the performance and gain margins.

 

Simple to use,  reduced dimensions, essential maintenance, flexibility for every production required are moreover some of the advantages that characterize the HORUS line, designed to  begin from a thorough analysis of the real necessities of the customers.    Finally, with this in view, the machine is predisposed for the allowance of numerous accessories for the personalization of the production process and available patent systems. 

 

Line for Precut

A futher increase of the range of machineries has been designed, the LEM model , that is a line for precut and welding either for the bottom or shopper type.   Also this machinery is known for its high applied technology, solidity and easy to use.    Moreover it can work online with an extruder, with a printing  machine  or external table, equipping it of a reel-holder and welding for bags wrapped on the cardboard core.   LEM works independently and it does not need some predisposition for production online with other machinery.    

 

It is possible to change production without having to stop the machine for re-arranging the data. The machine is equipped of personalized software available in several languages, it is produced in the models from 800 to 2000 millimeters and has a lot of accessories.    

 

Finally, we remind you the historical lines for bottom welding:  SH-99 covered by patent, in 8 working models, able to weld practically every kind of materials.   An evolution of the shopper line LSH will be presented shortly. 

 

Appointment with K 2007   

The next appointment is with the hall K 2007 in Dússeldorf. BA.S.FF is getting ready with optimism and the usual industrial philosophy, that until now, has been rewarding: to supply undiscussed quality and technical solutions “on measurement” to the requirements of the user, quite often succeeding to prevent them.
