58 kompakt Extrusion 1/2018 Baruffaldi Plastic Technology Srl www.baruffaldi.eu PVC and aluminum roller shutters start- ing form 6,5 meter long slat packs or from profiles already cut to length, thanks to the modularity of the Baruffal- di systems. Pin inserters are equipped with a pin interlocking unit, whereas cap inserters are equipped with two inter- locking units that insert plastic caps at both profile ends. Both plants can pro- cess all different profile geometries thanks to the flexibility of the Baruffaldi system. The last cap inserter named CAP-SP, where SP means special, is a customized machine that can process both PVC and aluminum roller shutter profiles and re- presents the results of the efforts of Baruffaldi’s R&D team to design a high Since it was established in 1953 Baruf- faldi has created a solid reputation at an international level as a manufacturer of extrusion tools and extrusion lines for plastics, automatic in-line and off-line machines for PVC profiles, cable and ins- tallation ducts for the electrical industry as well as special machines and turnkey projects. One of its flagships is its wide range of assembling machines for PVC and aluminum roller shutters. This in- cludes a rich variety of solutions for the most different production needs. For the roller shutter systems all started by studying special high productivity in line machines dedicated to the produc- tion of roller shutters i.e. Combiroll and 6.5mt long slat packs i.e. Combipack, in single and dual strand, with productivity up to 2 x 15m/min. These are automatic modular machines complete with punch- ing, interlocking, cutting and assembly units, also available in the pneumatic ver- sion and with brushless motors for high performance. In the course of the last decade, the company completed their automatic rol- ler shutter system range with Pin Inser- ters and Cap Inserters. This new genera- tion of machines represents the off line evolution of the traditional Combiroll in- line technology. They come with diffe- rent degrees of automation, to meet the production needs of the customers and can be used for both PVC and roller shutter profiles. Pin Inserters and cap inserters are off-line systems especially designed to produce Automation of Roller Shutter Production performance and automated solution only for the cap insertion phase. In the latest versions of PINCO 6.5 for PVC and aluminum profiles, the compa- ny enriched the plant configuration with a built-in computer and a labelling unit that interfaces with the customer manu- facturing system.
