When technical expertise meets professional savoir-faire

Our team excels for its extraordinary expertise and is the cornerstone of our success.

Customised design

ur products are meticulously tailored to suit our customers’ requirements and reflect our commitment to their satisfaction and success.

Scheduled maintenance: why it is so important

Scheduled maintenance consists of a series of planned preventive activities carried out on machines to ensure their efficiency, safety and long-term duration.

The importance of simulations for developing durable parts

Using next-generation design software, for every new machine, our Technical Department always carries out simulation tests to establish the proper sizing of the various structural parts.

The right technology at the right cost

No one likes spending more than necessary. Not only does this apply to each and every one of us, from our everyday needs to more consistent expenses, it is also true of large companies faced with setting up a new manufacturing system. Although cost-saving is a major driver when purchasing a machine, it would be wrong to think it ends with this phase.

3D manuals: making something complex simple and intuitive

In the natural world, evolution takes place by small but significant steps. Microline adopts the same principle for the development of its range of machines and associated services.

Microline’s digital strategy

The design and marketing of our machines proceeds alongside the process of digital transformation undertaken by the company in recent years. This new approach involves various areas, from virtual FATs to remote diagnostics.

Contact with customers has never been easier

We pioneered the development of remote service technologies, which have the advantage of allowing our specialised personnel to carry out immediate monitoring and maintenance operations, without requiring the operator’s on-site presence.

From reducing trimmings to eco-films: Microline aims for all-round sustainability

When it comes to sustainability, Microline is committed to playing a frontline role. This is why we manufacture machines that do not produce trimmings, resulting in material savings of between 20% and 30% compared to our competitors and optimised energy consumption.

A dedicated solution for the feeding and case packing of interfolded products

We developed a specific feeding system for interfolded products. Available on the ROM600 case packer, the system can be fitted to various machines in the Microline product line-up. The advantages lie in its ability to keep the product properly oriented, while ensuring gentle handling. A result that is achieved without forgoing outstanding production performance.

Microline gives substance to sustainability

For Microline, sustainability is a substantial and essential value. When designing its solutions, the Bologna-based company always takes into account energy efficiency and wrapping material savings, increasingly important aspects for Tissue sector manufacturers that, in turn, have to inform consumers of the environmental impacts of their product.

Size changeover: problem or opportunity?

The Tissue market changes constantly to adapt to the demand for new product types. Material functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability require companies to be increasingly flexible and versatile in the set-up of their production machinery.

Multiple sizes in a single solution

Microline machines distinguish themselves for their flexibility and ability to manage different sizes. Adjustments and the use of size-specific parts make it possible to expand the productive capacity of the existing and already installed individual solutions.

Microline always by the customer's side

The Microline team is always by the side of its customers to guarantee rapid and efficient after-sales assistance. Its highly specialised personnel provide timely intervention on the machinery, by analysing the phases of operation and the condition of the individual parts

Warehouse and parts customized to meet requirements

The capacity to keep stock and have essential parts available when necessary has become more essential and decisive than ever before. Difficulties in procuring resources rapidly has urged many businesses to reorganise their warehouses, taking into account the current emergency.

Machinery Interconnection: bidding farewell to inefficiency and high energy bills

Not only is energy-saving the first step toward cutting costs and fighting high energy bills, it also makes an important contribution towards more sustainable business activities.

Close to the customer, even when far away

During this difficult period in which the worldwide pandemic has greatly reduced freedom of movement like never before, remote after-sales support has proved vital for Microline and its customers. Indeed, the company provides a competent direct sales service of spares and complete maintenance packages that utilise the very latest sophisticated hardware and software tools to ensure constant contact with the customer, including remotely

Microline: Upgrade, not replace

Food and tissue industry businesses have constantly-changing production requirements: depending on end-consumer requirements, they may change products, production speeds, materials and, as a result, the equipment used for packaging. Therefore, Microline has made versatility an essential feature of its machines, allowing its customers to keep abreast of the times without the need to replace entire production facilities.

ECO Wrap 1050: the Microline brand of versatility
