The lengthened versions allow the installation and integrated management of multiple product infeed systems, gadgets/items insertion devices, markers, barcode readers and much more.

With an eye towards waste reduction, Senzani expertise offers smart functions for product and carton handling during the filling and closing phases, resulting in a positive impact on the investment return. In case of product missing in the infeed flow, the Senzani “no product/no carton” function prevents the relevant cartons from being picked, so to avoid carton rejection and glue use/waste. Furthermore, in case of machine stop-in-phase, the upper and lower flaps closing stations complete their operations, ensuring glue application and drying with no product and carton waste.
The design phase focusses on the research for modern and innovative solutions also in terms of energy-efficiency, wear-resistance and top-quality components.
All machines are assembled and tested by specialised technicians before delivery, thus remarkably reducing the installation duration.
