SIPA (Società Industrializzazione Progettazione Automazione) is an engineering company of the Zoppas Industries group specializing in the production of integrated flexible automation systems. In 1986, it made a strategic move by acquiring, from an American company, a licence to produce PET bottles using a single-stage process. Today, the company is one of the world leaders in the development and supply of integrated systems for the production of preforms and plastic containers; in addition, it offers two-stage systems for preform production and blow moulding. Besides major Italian groups, SIPA counts among its customers many multinationals in the mineral water, beverage and food sectors.
SIPA recently approached Handel Sollevamenti to build a structure designed for lifting the moulds used to make plastic containers for food and non-food liquids.
Handel Sollevamenti originally started out as a company building and maintaining overhead cranes. The company's ?philosophy? is to make products of excellent quality, finished with care down to the smallest detail. ?Our products are used all over the world,? says Federico Alcido, sales manager of the Pordenone-based company. This success is explained by extreme attention to the customer and their requirements. ?Anyone can sell, but not everyone can advise,? he stresses. ?The idea of our father, the company's founder, is that customer satisfaction must be total.? The choice of Verlinde, whose products have been known for 150 years for their high quality standards, is also part of this approach.
?For our projects, we use Verlinde motors and hoists because customers recognize the advantages of choosing this brand: very few parts to replace, low noise, speed, etc.,? says Federico Alcido. ?Moreover, Verlinde hoists are robust, easy to install, and their maintenance is very simple. This is what makes them perfectly suited to applications intended for export.?
The steel frame of the lifting device built by SIPA, which was carefully sized for a maximum load of 7 500 kg, has the feature of being fully demountable at the joints. The joints are in fact made with plates and counter-plates assembled using M20 type bolts with a breaking class of 10,9.
The hoist travel rail is made of HEA 300 (UNI 5397) and carries at each end the joint nodes between the uprights, made of HEA 240 UNI 5397. By adopting a Verlinde EUROCHAIN VL 20-25 chain hoist, Handel Sollevamenti was able to considerably reduce the floor space taken up by the structure and speed up mould lifting times.
Thanks to a winning combination with Verlinde, Handel Sollevamenti was able to finish the lifting unit built for SIPA down to the smallest detail, guaranteeing the customer maximum customization of the product. ?As our company's tradition demands, we focused above all on the quality and precision of the production method, in addition to the quality of the components used. And the results proved us right,? concludes Federico Alcido.
