Metaltecnica, dünya çapında gastronomi sektörü için İtalyan tutkusu

PASLANMAZ ÇELİK ÜRETİMİNİN UZUN SOLUKLU HİKAYESİ

30 yılı aşkın ticari geçmişi, 6.000 metrekarelik üretim alanı, yaklaşık 400 metrekarelik showroomu ve 50 çalışanıyla Metaltecnica, sektörün öncü isimlerinden biri. Merkezi Bellaria Igea Marina'da (RN) bulunan şirket; restoranlar ve catering sektörü için paslanmaz çelik ekipmanlar alanında faaliyet gösteriyor. Vincenzino Baietta ve Isora Baschetti tarafından kurulan şirket, kurucularının özverisi ve uzmanlığı sayesinde oteller için ekipman üreten küçük bir işletmeden; bugün mobilya, servis arabaları, pasta-fırın, self-servis, soğutma ve davlumbaz olmak üzere 6 farklı üretim hattına sahip, sağlam ve kurumsal bir yapıya dönüştü. Şirketin yönetimindeki ikinci nesli temsil eden ve ticari faaliyetleri koordine eden kardeşi Michele ile birlikte dümende olan Üretim Müdürü Alessandro Baietta süreci şöyle açıklıyor: "Üretim hatlarımız; paslanmaz çelik mutfaklar, yemekhaneler ve hastaneler kurmak için gereken her şeyi üretmeye odaklıdır. Kısacası, toplu yemek ve catering sektörü için her şeyi sağlıyoruz; ancak özellikle verimliliği maksimize eden, enerji tüketimini azaltan ve mutfakta maksimum hijyen için performansı artıran çözümlere odaklanıyoruz." Üretim operasyonları; hem İtalya hem de dış pazarlarda faaliyet gösteren, 4 dilde hizmet veren iki satış ofisi ve 50'den fazla ülkede seçkin 1.400'ü aşkın iş ortağından oluşan bir satış ağıyla desteklenmektedir. Bu geniş ve çeşitlendirilmiş müşteri portföyüne sunulan zengin çözüm yelpazesinin üretiminde, yüksek performanslı Prima Power tesisleri kritik bir rol oynamaktadır.

PRODUCTION QUALITY REQUIREMENTS ACHIEVED

What motivated you to acquire process technologies from Prima Power and what were the goals in terms of added value for your business?

"We chose Prima Power," says Baietta, "because it was our goal to optimize our production process with machinery, or rather a production system, that would allow us to maintain an increasingly high quality standard while giving us the speed required to cope with the high volume of orders we process daily. On top of that, we specifically wanted to adhere to all requirements of Industry 4.0 as part of our innovation process, so that we would be able to support the company's growth in an even more organized and efficient way."

Undoubtedly taking on the star role in process management at the company's production facility is the Night Train FMS automated storage solution, which is connected to an integrated Combi Genius 1540 punching/laser cutting system with CF 3000 fiber laser as well as LSR loading, unloading and stacking robots.
The integrated Combi Genius system uses numerically controlled servo-electric axes, with low energy consumption, limited maintenance requirements, and quick operation. Its high productivity is based on a large number of installable tools that are quick and easy to set up. The fiber laser has a very high throughput and is great for processing materials up to 8 mm thickness. The high precision of servo-electric technology, forming and the many auxiliary processes that have been made possible by the customized tower design all ensure high performance while also avoiding any scratches or other imperfections on the material at Metaltecnica.
The company also has an EBe5 servo-electric panel bender, supplied by Prima, which guarantees the bending quality required in the manufacture of industrial and design parts. Optimized axis control has made this possible: a fast and smooth bending process with versatile programming. The use of servo motors also effectively removes the influence of environmental heat conditions in which the machinery operates.

MULTIPLE PROCESSES IN A SINGLE SYSTEM

Which machine strengths are most valued and why?

"The technological equipment we got from Prima Power," Baietta concludes, "I believe manifests a deliberate, targeted, forward-looking and profitable choice from every angle. On the whole, the machines ensure process flexibility and productivity. In the former case, the undisputed added value lies in the fact that we can perform multiple processes with a single system. In the latter case of productivity, small batches, customization and mass production can be processed and optimized for scheduled times and resources."

As is evident, Metaltecnica has invested and continues to invest in cutting-edge sheet metal processing machinery to be able to guarantee high precision and even faster production times.
