Innovation and curiosity are the keys to success
Curiosity is the lifeblood of innovation. In today’s industrial landscape, being able to explore new approaches and technologies can truly make a difference. At Amarc, we have always specialized in the design and implementation of solutions for heating and transforming materials in industrial processes and firmly believe in this spirit of exploration and continuous improvement. As revealed in a recent interview by Giorgio Ardesi with Italia Imballaggi, we can share some reflections on our company philosophy and the advantages of our services and products.
Experimentation, transparency and integrity
At Amarc, we have always been open to experimentation and continuous research. As highlighted by Giorgio Ardesi in the interview, we have always been convinced that doing business means first and foremost operating in a correct and transparent manner. This concept is one of the pillars of our philosophy and permeates everything we do. Our cast-in heaters, which are crucial components of forming – filling – closing (HFFS and VFFS) and thermoforming machines, perfectly exemplify this philosophy. We conducted rigorous research to precisely and safely identify the benefits of this technology.
Our cast-in heaters
From this research, it emerged that “compared to cartridge heaters, wheel heaters, mica flat heaters, or silicone rubber heaters, the plates with embedded tubular heaters ensure superior durability, reliability, efficiency, and safety”.
Our heaters also provide excellent electrical insulation – under any condition – and uniform temperature throughout the entire surface, with the added advantage of having a single electrical connection, regardless of size.
Research and development: a constant commitment
Currently, we are collaborating with an external research centre, conducting tests to quantify in detail the advantages of aluminium heaters. Additionally, our technical office is implementing advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis methods to accurately predict heating temperatures.
In operational conditions, many of our clients have observed that the plates offer more uniform and efficient heat transfer, reducing the time needed to reach desired working temperatures. These research and development efforts allow us to continuously improve our solutions, offering products that stand out for their high performance and reliability.
The value of advanced engineering
Another topic we addressed with Italia Imballaggi is the value of our products, particularly cast-in heaters.
For us, it is important that the products we create bring real benefits to the client, thus compensating for any higher purchase costs, considering that these are just one of the items in the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), which encompasses all the costs over the life cycle of a piece of equipment.
The high level of engineering of aluminum heaters, for example, is designed to ensure ease of use and maximum safety. The fact that the heating element is integrated into the plate eliminates the risk of heat exchange with the air, prolonging the component’s lifespan and reducing machine downtime.
Who we work with
Our dedication to pursuing innovation through curiosity and experimentation is what sets us apart. We are proud to have developed technologically advanced and reliable solutions, becoming a reference partner for all those companies aiming for excellence in their production processes.
That’s why we always offer our maximum availability and expertise to all the companies that decide to collaborate with us. Our main clients are manufacturers of automatic machines, both in Italy and abroad. Companies “that are well aware of how costly managing a production line downtime could be for their clients, and therefore strive to minimize this risk and its consequences”.
Together with them, we define the most suitable product characteristics, intervening on numerous factors to make it perfectly tailored to the specific needs of those who choose us as partners.
