wrapping sweets (4)Eurosicma is an Italian group of companies playing an important role in the automatic packaging machines’ field. The portfolio of the company includes handling, feeding, wrapping machines and integrated lines for the bakery, confectionery, cosmetic and pharmaceutical sectors.
Founded in 1965, its activity spread over three generations and it is now present in more than 80 countries worldwide with over than 4000 machines installed.
Today, Eurosicma’s core business is represented by flow and fold tailor-made wrapping solutions for the horizontal packaging both primary and multipack of a wrapping sweets (3)wide range of products such as plain, sandwich and filled biscuits, wafers, crackers, snacks, candies, chewing gums, bubble gums chocolate and sweets in general.
Due to the wide range of applications and the expertise acquired in so many fields Eurosicma is today considered a Multi-Specialist Manufacturer, able to grant a completely “handmade in Italy production” with the use of high quality row materials, the most accurate assembling of the mechanical parts and the most up-to dated software applications for the control systems.
Machinery flexibility and modularity become key factors to be satisfied in order to provide wrappers able to handle and pack a wide range of different products with easy and quick machinery adjustments, ensuring the same features, quality and performance in all the configurations available.

wrapping sweets (2)To the confectionery industry, Euriosicma proposes two models of flow wrapper: the EURO 77 and the EURO 88.
The EURO 77 flow wrapper can be connected to a wide range of different feeding systems, being therefore able to handle hard candies, jellies, lollipops, chewing gum, bubble gums, chewy candy, toffees, slabs. The EURO 77 DS 900 “CANDY Version” is Eurosicma’s best proposal for hard candies and the widest wrapping application developed, thanks to the long tradition and expertise the company acquired in the field from its foundation.
wrapping sweets (1)The wrapper with the basic configuration can reach 1350pcs/min, but it is able to run at a speed up to 2000 pcs/min, employing an advanced high-performance kit. One of the latest successful developments allows to have a completely new machine’s configuration equipped with two independent disc feeders for the double colour application.
The EURO 77 DS 900 “Candy Version” can be easily adapted and used for jellies, lollipops and pellets, changing a dedicated kit of parts. For example, the EURO 77 DS 900 “LOLLY Version” is equipped with a dedicated execution of the centrifugal disc feeder and able to run at a speed up to 600 pcs/min. The same machine is able to realize both single flow packs and strips of packs, with the number of packs per chain fully and tool-free customizable, thanks to an innovative servo-driven device. Eurosicma Candy R&D developed a patented empty hole recovery function for disc feeders to avoid any eventual empty pack. Such technology allows to feed properly and steadily the wrapper chain and avoid any possible waste of wrapping material.
For all the products coming from rope, Eurosicma has specifically designed two different Cut & Wrap flow pack machines, the EURO 77 TIV and the EURO 77 TIR. The first model is able to cut and pack short/medium sized products using a scissor cutter and a 90° pusher, while the second one is the best configuration to handle medium/long sized products thanks to a rotary cutting unit that transfers “in line” the portion already cut.
For laminated gums, coming from the process line as big slabs, Euroscima offers two configurations: the EURO 77 AP, ideal for products with a rectangular final shape, and the EURO 77 DT, more suitable for square products. Both the models are equipped with a dedicated loading and feeding unit, in the first case placed at 90° compared to the wrapper, while in the second all the equipment is “in line”.
Dedicated feeding systems are also available for chewing gum balls to be wrapped in assorted colours.

To serve the bakery industry and satisfy the most various needs, Eurosicma offers several applications from the single machine to complete wrapping systems according to the needs.
As for the candies and gums there is one flow wrapper model available in different configurations to handle different products and sizes: the EURO 88. For biscuits in stacks, both plain and sandwich, Eurosicma offers the EURO 88 UNIVERSAL which can be connected to the “P.W.F” and “V.M.”, two models of vertical gravity feeders ideal for biscuits. For biscuits on edgein flow pack style, the most suitable solution is the version EURO 88/EDG, while for biscuits on edge in fold style Eurosicma proposes the EUROFOLD Machine Model, the first and unique fully electronic fold wrapper available on the market. Both machines can be combined with Automatic Portion Feeders, Counting or Volumetric Version. A successful combination widely developed is the Eurofold Machine combined with the Automatic Portion Feeder Volumetric Version. This kind of feeding system is an efficient solution to handle both dry and sandwich biscuits; it is completely servo-motorized, driven and controlled by the wrapper and capable of reaching a speed of 25 cycles per minute. Thanks to the specific technology employed this slugs feeder is able to grant an extreme gentle handling of the products with an easy and fast change size.

To strengthen its commitment to the bakery field, Eurosicma decided to set up the company Eurotekna to be able to supply, autonomously as the only center of responsibility, complete wrapping lines and turnkey solutions. Such strong joint-venture was born after a long collaboration between Eurosicma and Tekna. Thanks to the accurate experience gained by both Eurosicma and Eurotekna staff in the biscuits machine field in over twenty years of activity, the companies are able to offer a wide range of machines for biscuits and bakery products, such as sandwiching machines wire-cut technology: SAMA 1, SAMA/2 and SAMA/4, and automatic feeding systems for biscuits to be wrapped on edge, both Volumetric and Counting Versions.

For sandwich biscuits and crackers, the machinery range includes complete line for sandwiching and packaging for biscuits and crackers. The sandwiching Machine Model SAMA combined with the EURO 88 flow wrapper is an integrated line composed of two machines which are connected in real-time. Such synchronization and control system grant high levels of efficiency and out-put. The cream tank is designed to feed the cream to portion and equipped with a jacketed water circulation system for temperature control, a shaker and a pump. Each system is independently servo-driven. The sophisticated dosing system employed, grants the deposit of the correct quantity of cream also in case the filling machine has to manage many different formats with very different portions of cream. The machine is also equipped with automatic self-cleaning system for chains. Direct connection with the EURO 88 flow wrapper is possible thanks to a phasing transfer device that can be employed both for single and overlapped biscuits.
Furthermore, Eurosicma can offer special feeding applications for wafers: the STF, Side Transfer Feeder, a system completely servo-motorized that allows the transfer of products from the multi-belts feeder into the chain of the flow wrapper. The most advanced version of the STF is also available: the SSTF, Soft Side Transfer System, having an additional servo motor, is able to feed the chain following its movement at high speed and in the gentlest way. Both the devices can be supplied also in twin version and eventually with self-cleaning unit.

To complete all the configurations available for the EURO 88 flow wrapper, Eurosicma has developed the EURO 88 HSF Noodles, a packaging system for instant noodles, both fried and riced.
These high-performance wrapping systems can be equipped with “no cake no seasoning bag” function and with a 3D camera to detect and select the single product in the row with irregular shape.
To achieve high-performance results, Eurosicma has studied and entirely developed the feeding system for the seasoning bags, able to cut and place them on the cakes, ready to be wrapped. The Seasoning Bag Feeder is completely integrated in the control system of the wrapper and configurations up to three independent feeders per wrapping machine can be supplied.

Regarding enrobed products, healthy sticky bars, nougats, sponge cakes, jellies, chocolate bars, buscuits, wafers and thin products, Eurosicma has developed appropriate distribution and feeding systems, that can be highly customized according to the space available and the quantity of products coming from the production line. This systems transfer products, at a high speed and in a gentle way, to the HSF8, High Speed Feeder and Timing System, a completely pressureless high-performance feeding system, specially designed to handle difficult products such as small cakes with irregular shapes, sticky bars and nougats. This feeder grants gentle handling of products at an extremely low and monitored pressure and, if required or needed, can also avoid any contact between the products. Such sophisticated feeding system is equipped with auto-tensioning and auto-centering belts’ system. Extremely easy and fast tool-free cleaning for plates, belts and transmission rollers are assured. One of the successful applications recently developed, is the double HSF Feeding and Timing System, with 3, 6 or 8 belts according to the configuration needed, able to grant a safe and continuous feeding at high speed.
The EURO88/CF3 is designed to receive long-side leading products, placed in single line. It is equipped with a 3-belts feeding system, placed at 90° or 110°. Each belt is driven by an independent brushless motor. The EURO88/CF3 handles products with extremely low and carefully monitored pressure. The feeder is able to recover empty spaces on upstream flow, buffer products automatically at controlled pressure, granting a progressive separation of them to make gentle and efficient the loading phase of the wrapper’s infeed chain. The EURO88/CF3 can reach a speed up to 400 packs/min, depending on product’s and wrapping material’s specifications.

To satisfy a specific request for biscuits’ wrapping, Eurosicma recently developed a dedicated device that allow to have a new pack configuration: a flow pack style with the side parts fold, that seems to be similar to the fold pack, but able to grant the protection of the flow pack and a better shelf-life of the product. Such new design has been realized thanks to the development of an additional module, that can be added to all the Eurosicma’s flow pack configurations.

In order to meet the most various packaging needs, Eurosicma Group can also provide a wide range of equipment to handle products from the sandwiching machine or oven end to the packaging line. For biscuits on edge wrapping, star shape stacker allows biscuits turning and it transfers them, already placed on edge, on belts in order to be stored and if requested linked to the automatic portion feeders, available in Eurotekna’s machinery range. According to customers’ needs, rows multipliers and customized collecting systems are available.

Today, Eurosicma together with Eurotekna, is able to offer its clients a wide array of customized solutions to satisfy the requests of the market and relate to its customers with a partnership approach.
Eurosicma always invests a lot in developing more and more customized solutions and it has in its internal organization dedicated divisions able to manage every stage of the designing and studying phases with high expertise and know how.
Starting as a small company with 30 employees, nowadays Eurosicma counts 160 members with over than 4000 machines, sold and installed in more than 80 countries worldwide.
