La storia di Cometec è legata a doppio filo alla crescita professionale del suo fondatore, Riccardo Valli, formatosi in anni di attività presso gli uffici ricerca e sviluppo di produttori, allora come oggi, leaders nel settore del confezionamento sottovuoto. Dal 1985 Valli fornisce all’intero comparto un’impulso innovativo che ha meritato numerose citazioni nelle riviste specializzate; tra i vari casi Egli può vantare nel suo curriculum alcuni passi salienti nell’evoluzione tecnica del confezionamento sottovuoto, come ad esempio:
L’introduzione del sistema digitale “EVC” (Electronic Vacuum Control) che per mezzo di un sofisticato, quanto affidabile, controllo digitale, garantisce il raggiungimento dei valori di vuoto impostati senza margini di errore ottenendo il migliore compromesso qualità-prezzo e conseguente risparmio di tempo dei cicli di lavoro.
L’ingegnerizzazione del gruppo monoblocco “Pipe-less” per l’aspirazione diretta da pompa a campana senza tubi e raccordi, eliminando così ogni rischio di possibile perdita del circuito di aspirazione.
L’evoluzione dell’ abituale e oneroso sistema di cambio stampo delle sigillatrici nell’ innovativa soluzione Plug & play che, grazie ad apposite slitte, permette la sostituzione rapida della sola piastra stampo, evitando di dover acquistare una campana per ogni formato e favorendo così un notevole risparmio economico. Il pratico ed ecologico “Raccogli sfrido”, che permette di eliminare l’eccesso di film residuo dopo la saldatura direttamente nel sacco nero, senza doverlo riavvolgere, con i notevoli vantaggi che ne conseguono: non più rottura dei lembi di traino, non più continue regolazioni meccaniche della frizione ne’ dei coni di centraggio del film, eliminata anche l’asportazione periodica del materiale riavvolto. A tutto ciò aggiungiamo che il contributo progettuale fornito al settore è stato talmente incisivo che, di fatto, i formati vasca e campana della maggior produzione Europea, rispecchiano l’odierno standard di produzione Cometec. Con queste premesse e con tale bagaglio tecnologico, Cometec può oggi proporre una gamma “State of the Art” di macchine confezionatrici sottovuoto caratterizzata da modelli più piccoli, da banco, flessibili e polivalenti, fino a modelli automatici dedicati a specifiche applicazioni industriali. Cometec punta in tal modo ad una affermazione del marchio che valorizzi i contenuti tecnici e di Know-how del proprio prodotto, basando la strategia commerciale su più fondamentali punti di forza:
L’affidabilità del prodotto assicurata da soluzioni progettuali, da scelte della componentistica selezionata sulla scorta delle applicazioni precedenti e dai severi controlli di qualità sia in fase di assemblaggio che durante i collaudi finali.
La facilità d’ uso ottenuta dal livello di ingegnerizzazione raggiunto, tanto da consentire l’uso delle macchine a chiunque, con un solo semplice gesto. Il servizio al Cliente, offre tra l’altro, la possibilità di personalizzare le macchine alle necessità del committente. Il servizio assistenza, tempestivo, assicurato da una capillare rete di Rivenditori autorizzati e Agenti tecnico/commerciali con deposito in molte regione d’ Italia.
Le macchine Cometec sono conformi alle direttive comunitarie 89-392-CEE e successive integrazioni, 73-23-CEE e 89-336-CEE, e alle Norme EN 60335.1/1989 e successive. Riassumendo, Cometec è un’azienda tecnologicamente accreditata,in grado di fornire oggi un prodotto che diventerà sempre più di riferimento nel settore.  Cometec’s history is strictly related to the professional growth and high level experience of its founder, Riccardo Valli who made his job training through several years working within the designer and development departments of leading producers in the vacuum packaging industry.
Since 1985 Mr. Valli has been working to give the whole sector an innovative impulse and, because of this, he deserved many quotations in the most famous technical magazines. Being a serious professional, Mr Valli, could be proud of his relevant support to theoretical and practical evolution in the vacuum packaging sector. Some examples of his contribution in this field are:
The introduction of the “EVC” (Electronic Vacuum Control ) digital system that, thanks to an advanced and reliable digital control device, can guarantee the achievement of the vacuum values set up without any possibility of mistake.
This way one can reach easily the best relation between quality and price and, therefore, there could not be waste of time in the working cycle process.
The engineering of the “ PIPE-LESS” monobloc group that permits the direct suction of air from the pump to the vacuum chamber (without the support of any pipe or joint ). Thanks to this device there is no risk of loss or failure in the suction circuit.
The evolution in tray-sealer, from the expensive substitution of sealing die system, into the new “PLUG & PLAY” system. Thanks to special slides it permits a fast and easy change of the only heating plates, making it useless the purchase of a singular bat for every sealing die and subsequently making the process less expensive.
The invention of the practical and ecological “CUT FILM PICKER” that permits to eliminate the film discarded after the welding process without necessity of any other mechanical device.
The design contribution given to this sector by Mr. Valli has been clearly decisive. Nowadays the majority of the vacuum chambers sizes produced in Europe are referable to the typical Cometec’s standard production. Relying on these premises and strong of its technical heritage, Cometec offers to its customers a various production of vacuum packaging machines: from the smallest, multi purpose machine to the automatic industrial models. Cometec has always been working to make its brand successful, focusing on the technical contents of its products, as well as basing its marketing strategy on many key points such as:
Product reliability warranted by: design solutions, careful selection of the components according to the applications realized previously, strict quality control during the assembly stage as well as during the final testing stage.
The simplicity of use of every single machine, obtained thanks to the high engineering standard achieved: anyone will be able to work on the appliances with the simplest gestures.
The customer service, which is always available to satisfy every request from our customers. Cometec is a technologically acknowledged firm, able to design and produce products that are and are going to be a reference point for the whole vacuum packaging industry. what is MAP? Quite simply, and as its name implies, MAP is food packaging in which the earth’s normal breathable atmosphere has been modified in some way.
This modification is usually combined with a lowered temperature, which means it is a highly effective method of extending the shelf life of a wide range of foodstuffs. In the UK MAP mainly involves the use of three gases - carbon dioxide, nitrogen and oxygen - although other gases are in use around the world. Products are generally packed in combinations of the gas trio, with the mix dependent on the physical and chemical properties of the food. Perhaps nowhere can rival the UK in its extended use of MAP. Food producers here have taken to the technique in droves, with the logistical, demographic and cultural structure of the British Isles making them so ideal for MAP use that few companies with a fresh or chilled food operation can carry on without it. These are some of MAP’s benefits: SHELF LIFE EXTENSION: Depending on the product, the time an item can remain on display in a supermarket or shop can usefully be extended by between 50 and 500 per cent using MAP techniques. This means waste is minimised and ordering and restocking are more flexible. MINIMISATION OF WASTE: If there is a greater chance of a product being sold, as there is with MAP because food can be displayed longer, there is obviously less chance of having to throw it away at the end of its life - which will come no matter how effective MAP has been in prolonging it.
QUALITY: There are obvious advantages for both retailer and consumer in having food, which deteriorates at a slower rate as it makes its journey from place of production to the domestic kitchen, fridge or freezer.
PRESENTATION: Because MAP products can’t merely be wrapped in film - they have to be encased, usually in a tray - retailers have every opportunity to package more attractively. So visual display becomes another key component in MAP's story of effectiveness.
REDUCING THE NEED FOR ARTIFICIAL PRESERVATIVES: In a world where we are all intent on becoming 'greener' in our outlook, with a determination to do all we can to protect the environment, there are advantages to getting rid of as many additives as possible.
The goal is food, which is NATURALLY fresh and in some cases using MAP means that no artificial preservatives are required at all to achieve a reasonable shelf life. All these benefits have wide-ranging applications but they are particularly pertinent to those engaged in production of ready meals and cook-chill products. MAP can significantly extend the shelf life of a whole range of such products.
Apart from delaying microbial spoilage, the use of a carbon dioxide/nitrogen gas mix (in a 2:1 ratio) has also been found to delay the development of oxidative warmed-over flavour. Cook-chill means food is hygienically prepared, pasteurised and rapidly chilled to between zero and three degrees centigrade. Food is then stored at similar temperatures before being reheated to 70 degrees C for a period prior to consumption.
Under Department of Health guidelines issued in 1989 for cook-chill for the catering industry, the maximum recommended shelf life for products is five days. But this period can be extended if the food is packed under modified atmosphere conditions or cooked under vacuum for the retail market. Tests have shown that for ready meals and cook chill products with a shelf life of two to five days, modified atmosphere packaging can increase this to between five and 10 days - a hugely worthwhile life extension. Among ready prepared foods which can benefit are those containing fish, game, meat, pasta, poultry and vegetables as well as casseroles, soups and sauces. The Advisory Committee for Microbiological Safety of Foods has looked into this whole topic and has concluded that chilled foods with a shelf life shorter than 10 days should, if kept at chilled temperatures, present a minimal risk of the growth of toxin production by clostridium botulinum. The principal method of spoilage of ready meals and other cook-chill products is microbial growth, caused primarily by post cooking contamination, poor temperature control or a combination of the two. Strict control over temperature, handling and hygiene should obviously be maintained throughout so that MAP can play its full part.
If all the guidelines are adhered to ready meal producers, packers and retailers anxious to join the trend towards convenience, both for packing and display, will find rich rewards coming from any venture into MAP. Many have tried and few have failed. Indeed, the majority of the system’s devotees find it hard to contemplate what life was like without it.
