Enhancing tile integrity: the crucial role of packaging in the Ceramic Industry
In the ceramic industry, the importance of packaging cannot be underestimated. It plays a pivotal role in safeguarding the integrity of ceramic products throughout the handling and transportation processes.
Effective and high-quality packaging is not merely beneficial—it is essential for maintaining the aesthetic and structural integrity of the tiles from production to placement.
Recognizing this critical need, System Ceramics has been at the forefront of addressing these challenges by improving packaging, palletizing, and handling solutions in the ceramic sector. With a commitment to innovation and efficiency, System Ceramics has developed a range of packaging solutions specifically tailored to the unique demands of the ceramic industry, including the advanced systems of Multiflex, Multipack, and Sidewrap. Each is designed to enhance the safety and security of ceramic tiles during transit, ensuring that they arrive at their destination in pristine condition and ready for installation.
By integrating cutting-edge technology and a deep understanding of the logistics involved in ceramic transportation, System Ceramics continues to set industry standards in packaging excellence.
Multiflex: just-in-time packaging and zero waste
Multiflex represents the pinnacle of System Ceramics' packaging technology, characterized by a "just-in-time" approach that eliminates waste and maximizes efficiency. This highly configurable system fits seamlessly into any production line, ensuring unprecedented freedom in every production batch.
Key features of Multiflex include a production capacity of up to 9 packages per minute and the ability to create customized packaging thanks to its four cardboard warehouses, which can be either neutral or pre-printed. The system is equipped with 8 high-definition print heads for real-time graphic customization, and its automatic format change system allows for format changes without stopping production.
Multipack: double protection and high productivity
Multipack is the ideal solution for ceramic formats up to 120x180 cm, designed to maximize flexibility and productivity with a capacity of up to 10 packages per minute. This technology stands out for its double-corner protection, which can be further strengthened by adding a layer of cardboard, thus ensuring excellent product protection during all handling and transportation phases.
At the heart of Multipack is a central module surrounded by eight cardboard warehouses that facilitate access and efficiency. The machine also allows for on-demand graphic customization through an integrated printing system, which enables the selection of pre-printed die-cutters or the creation of new designs based on customer needs.
Sidewrap: innovation goes green
Sidewrap is a wrap-around packaging system that aims for production efficiency and strongly emphasizes environmental sustainability. Featuring four cardboard warehouses all positioned on the same side, Sidewrap significantly reduces material consumption thanks to its frame packaging technology, which cuts cardboard usage by about 30% compared to traditional methods.
In addition to offering single or double-corner protections, Sidewrap is designed to be easily integrated into any industrial layout thanks to its compact dimensions and configuration, which facilitate installation and maintenance. The machine is also equipped with a user-friendly interface and a remote assistance system, ensuring ease of use and operational efficiency.
