Minipack®-torre heat-shrink packaging machines are very versatile because they allow for any type of product to be packed, with attention paid to the packaging dimensions that must be compatible with the machine's functions.
Format change is not a problem: you can opt for fruit and vegetable packaging with or without a support (e.g. trays). In either case, the result is guaranteed.
Minipack®-torre has designed a range of heat-shrink machines for every fruit and vegetable packaging need:
Let's see a few machines in detail, the flagships of minipack®-torre production.
It was the invention of the first chamber packaging machine that gave the company its decisive boost, thanks to the patent obtained in with the work of engineer Torre.
The FM range of packaging machines, both manual and trolley versions, are simple to use and resistant. Equally important is that they obtain aesthetically impeccable packages, an important aspect also in fruit packaging.

The REPLAY range, which also includes manual trolley machines, combines a high technological content with important qualities such as compact and essential shapes, combining efficiency and excellence.

Because of their manual operation, we recommend their use to small businesses that need to package fruit and vegetables while maintaining a high level of hygiene.
The MODULAR range uses a series of innovative systems, amongst which electronically-controlled sealing and cutting-edge safety devices stand out.

MODULAR packaging machines can operate automatically or semi-automatically. Customising the operating programs also makes it possible to simplify all packaging stages, thereby maximising the production yield. We recommend this type of packaging machine to greengrocers seeking a simple and practical solution to package fruit.
Among all the minipack®-torre heat-shrink packaging machines, those of the PRATIKA line offer the most in terms of functionality and operating programs. They are innovative and technological automatic machines, but also designed to be user-friendly.
The key element in this type of packaging machine is the heat-shrinking film, meaning a protective film that shrinks when it is heated by the packaging machine. Once the film is wrapped around the product, it is passed through a special heat-shrinking tunnel. This way, the film adheres perfectly to the fruit (or product) to be packaged.
Given its versatility and practicality, heat-shrink packaging fruit is now a technique used by many companies. In particular, it is recommended to companies such as greengrocers, supermarkets, mass retail and food companies, each with a packaging machine that best fits their production needs (manual, semi-automatic or automatic).
The most immediate benefits of this type of packaging machine are lower costs than other types of packaging and reduced consumption. But do not underestimate the aesthetic reasons, which are particularly important in direct sales of fruit and vegetables to the consumer.
In fact, the most visible advantage of heat-shrink packaging is the possibility of creating aesthetically pleasing packages, ideal to be displayed in a showcase. Aesthetics is counterbalanced by the need for freshness of the fruit: the choice of heat-shrink is particularly suitable for appealing as well as resistant packaging. The heat-shrink packaging is therefore ideal for trays and packs of fruit and vegetable to be displayed on the counter or stored in refrigerator cabinets. The result is a safe and beautiful product to look at.
Lastly, and not to be underestimated, is the ease of storage and transport of goods packaged with a heat-shrink film: creating light and compact packages makes it really easy to move fruit from one place to another and to store it without occupying too much storage space.
Businesses and consumers are increasingly aware of the importance of turning linear economy into circular economy, where resources are recycled. Compostable packaging helps us to achieve this goal.

Did you know that globally only 9% of the plastic waste we generate ends up recycled? The rest are on garbage dumps or in our natural environment and a large part ends up in the sea, where marine animals ingest these microplastics.
Time to act has arrived and, in view of the global need, at Coverpan we have decided to invest in the development of a new line of compostable packaging: PackInGreen.
Fruit and vegetables lead food waste in Spain. Fruits and vegetables are the most wasted products in Spanish households, accounting for 44.3% of the 1,146 million kg/l of unprocessed food that went into the trash in .
To overcome this serious problem, we can use the help of packaging. Although they have been demonised in recent years, packaging helps us to extend the life of food and reduce wastage. What is the key? Finding sustainable and safe solutions to replace plastic packaging.
Driven by population growth and economic development, the volume of plastic on the market is expected to double by . This would make the annual volume of plastic that ends up in the ocean almost triple.
To avoid this, we need to think about which plastic containers are marketed. We need to REMOVE the plastics we don't need, going beyond just removing straws and transport bags, scaling up new innovative models that deliver products to customers with reusable, compostable packaging or directly without packaging.
CIRCULATE the plastic we needPackaging companies must transform and replace plastic items to make them reusable, recyclable or compostable. Also to increase our capacity to collect and circulate these items in practice, we need to:
Invest in collection and selection systems. By , industrial composting plants are expected to be set up in all municipalities in Spain. Ecoembes has also recently launched a new recycling reward system called 'Reciclos'. Although progress is being made, the current infrastructure must continue to be improved to make it easier for consumers to manage their waste.
We need to INNOVATE quicklyTo accelerate the transition to a Circular Economy, we must INNOVATE at unprecedented speed and scale towards:
Can a vegetable packaging protect food with a guarantee?
Can we be sure that food security will not be compromised?
What PackInGreen packaging?
PackInGreen solutions proposed by Coverpan have characteristics that make them the best alternative to plastic packaging:
Solutions with anti-fog properties to prevent water condensation.
Highly breathable packaging to allow fresh food to breathe.
Packaging films resistant to freezing up to -24ºC.
High barrier complexes for IV and V range food.

The Agenda provides for 17 SDGs or measures and targets by and for sustainability. In the field of plastic packaging, the UN establishes a transition period until where gradually both the packaging industry and consumers will have to adapt.
