THE COMPANY:
established in 1963 in the heart of the packaging valley, ICA has flourished in the packaging industry thanks to the natural talent of its founders and to their capacity to involve ad motivate others in working for the same objective, of designing and manufacturing excellent automatic packaging machines. With its 150 employees, an annual turnover of approx. 20 million € and several associated companies, ICA is determined to continue in doing what it does best: turn ideas into machines!
|
THE MACHINES:
sturdy and reliable mechanical movements with automatic central lubrication systems governed by the most advanced PLC control systems. The trouble-free operation of our machines is guaranteed by 40 years of successful installations in difficult working environments like the sugar and chemical industry.ICA’s R&D Dept. dedicates as much effort to designing new machines as to updating the existing ones, because good ideas last.
|
AUTOMATION:
Fully automatic, that is from the storage silos to the finished shipping bundle without manual intervention: the best hygienic and functional conditions. ICA supplies complete packaging lines since it manufactures also filling systems (various kinds of fillers and weighers), check-weighers and shrink-wrap bundling machines. Perfect synchronization with any other kind of end-of-line equipment.
|
WHAT IS PACKED:
a wide range of products in powders, granules and pieces, especially foodstuffs like coffee, tea, flour, sugar, rice, cookies, biscuits, candies, pasta, grated cheese, etc., but also detergent powders and chemical/pharmaceutical products
|
THE PACKS:
a great variety of bags and packs made of flexible packaging materials: pillow-shape, with side-gussets, flat bottom, paket (flat top and bottom), under vacuum, stand-up with 3 sides sealed, bags with sealed edges, off-set longitudinal sealing, etc. And now Pronto Coffee makes coffee pods inside single-serving pouches.
|
THE PACK SIZES:
in addition to covering a wide range of weights, most of our machines feature easy and quick size changeovers and ICA offers also the possibility of having at least another size already installed, adjusted and ready to use on the same machine (FB67 Duplex).
|
THE PACKAGING MATERIALS USED:
almost every kind of material on the market, in most cases from reel, but some machines work from pre-made bags. From simple, low-cost and ecological kraft paper to the most complex ones made up of 3 or 4 layers for the best protection. ICA makes machines that work well with the packaging materials available in the country of destination so as to guarantee low running costs and trouble-free operation
|
UNDER VACUUM:
since coffee packaging is our field of expertise, vacuum packaging (also with gas-flushing) is another one of those things we do very well at every operational speed; for a longer shelf-life and better product preservation.
|
DEGASSING VALVES:
coffee packaging (but not only) requires also degassing valves, so all ICA machines can fit the Aroma System degassing valve (or others)
|
EASY-OPENING AND RECLOSING DEVICES:
making consumer-friendly packs is our concern, so we have designed a whole range of devices, from traditional adhesive tape and labels, to tin-tie, peel-off, tear-off, zippers and many more
|
QUALITY:
Our machines all over the world certify our quality every day, but for those who don’t know our products ICA SpA and AromaSystem have been certified
UNI
EN ISO 9001 e 9001 respectively
|
SAFETY:
last but not least, full compliance with the most stringent directives in terms of operator, product and machine safety, including European Regulations EEC n° 89/392 (personnel safety), EEC n° 91/368 (noise level) and CEI EN 60204 part one (electrical systems).
|
PATENTS:
the ever-lasting technological developments have allowed ICA SpA to gain a considerable knowledge, which led our company to obtain several international patents.
