La misma filosofía, orientada hacia la eficiencia y la optimización de los ciclos productivos, puede apreciase a diario en el diseño y la realización de máquinas e instalaciones de Brambati Spa para la industria alimentaria, para dar siempre la respuesta más adecuada a las expectativas de sus clientes”.

International organizations and companies have understood that the reduction of emissions into the atmosphere is not only a benefit to the environment we live in but also allows companies to make much needed savings in economic terms.
This is not an aspect to be overlooked especially at a time in which all production companies are looking for ways to cut costs.
And it is dictated by this of interests that arises the IEC 60034-30:2008 norm, which starting from 2009 foresees a new efficiency classification of electric motors.
In fact, up until that point, engines were classified into three classes:Eff1, Eff2 and Eff3, with Eff1 recognition only used to indicate the solutions with the best performance.
Adherence to this rule, however, was voluntary and no penalties were imposed on those proposing solutions without a class identification, and it is precisely this situation which the IEC 60034-30:2008 rectifies, by laying down specific requirements for engines operating between 0.75 and 375 kW of power which will be on the market in the coming years and identifies a class of energy efficiency with the logo Ie, followed by an increasing number depending on the greater level of efficiency.
From a theoretical point of view, if all electric motors installed were made to high energy efficiency standards it would be possible to reduce total consumption by 20-30% which amounts to a saving of 7% of overall electricity being used.

“Brambati Spa, with the help of the supplier Enfinity Italia srl, has installed on its roof a 200kWp photovoltaic system, taken care of the drainage and given new coverings to the buildings at Codevilla; the fully integrated system, with an annual energy output of approximately 220 MWh, gives the Brambati Group the possibility to reach important company objectives of energy conservation, efficient use of resources and sustainable development.
We apply the same philosophy to the optimization of our production cycles on a daily basis at Brambati Spa when we plan and manufacture machinary and plants for the food industry and this allows us to a give a coherant and consistent response to our clients’ demands.

How to keep track the stages of production? The power of the report.

You must first perform a feasibility study and an analysis of the production involving all the part and department to produce a detailed list of information needed and report the list of improvements to manufacturing techniques to optimize the precision of traceability.
The report provided by Brambati is organized so as to monitor every movement of the product within the production process, enabling data storage on disk and the process of searching and printing.

The ability to combine the environment and production shows an awareness which is now part of our philosophy: the awareness that environmental compliance is one of the key factors for achieving quality production.

Many people wonder whether it is possible to combine profit, environment and energy.
An environmentally sustainable world is possible, but the initiative must begin with the companies, reducing dangerous emissions that are causing the rise of global temperature.
It is sufficient adopting most advanced systems for the abatement of emissions in the atmosphere in order to quantify, control and gradually reduce them.

Many companies live this as a necessity “ex post”, while fundamentally different is the attitude of the Brambati group, which was capable to join the issue before the conception of processes and systems. By establishing these goals in a systematic way, it is possible developing very advanced solutions not only to reduce environmental impact, but also to reduce the energy requirements and eliminate waste of resources.

Furthermore, Brambati is also important for the strong research activities targeted to the optimization of emissions abatement systems in the atmosphere composed by volatile organic compounds and dust arising from the coffee roasting systems.

Energy saving and environment-friendliness make us more proud, as producers and as consumers, as citizens and as men: the quality of life goes on the quality of what we eat, drink and breathe. We must remember this forever.

The phase of roasting, which transforms the green coffee in the finished product, is based essentially on the roasting recipe. The roasting recipe consists of all information and parameters that together define the step of roasting from the loading of green coffee in the roasting drum, until the handling in the silo of the finished product. The roasting recipe, freely programmable by the control panel of the installation, is saved in the database and can be called, supervised and changed at will; once that has been adopted at each stage of processing, is used for the operation of the plant.

In the coffee processing cycle flexibility must be total: the quantity, temperature and time must be managed to 100% with a complete control on roasting profile. This is made possible by the experience of nearly 25 years of Brambati, which has developed a machine-art, using the most advanced technologies currently available on the market, and using an engineering study in continuous development. We are talking about the “BR” model”, the top of the range of Brambati roasters.

The features that make unique the final product, such as the development of the flavoring and color, are produced during the roasting. The care with which this process is completed and the ability to reproduce the same identical conditions for each roasting, ensure the repeatability of the cycle, and therefore the consistent quality over time.
Let’s not renounce to it.

From June 7 to 9 in Seville more than 300 exhibitors will be present, belonging to all coffee and tea industries scopes, from suppliers of the whole processing equipment to the merchants, from restaurant, hotel and coffee shop chains to the retailers and big stores coming from more than 120 countries. Interesting is that Seville exhibition will exceed, as presences, last nine editions.

Brambati will be present at the boot 420 for the all duration of the event. On Sunday 7 will hold a workshop on coffee roasting.

Soon will be online a summary of the intervention, specially designed for those who could not attend the event and for those who want to know more about this delicate and important process.

Tea & Coffee World Cup is sponsored by Tea & Coffee Asia and by Coffee Trade Journal, two publications that, with their experience, their authority and their only on-target editorial content, will be the mentor during the exhibition.

Brambati will be there. And you?

Since the postwar period, the so-called “Mediterranean diet” has become increasingly a worldwide synonymous of a proper diet, healthy and extremely pleasant. For the record, the inventor of the “Mediterranean diet” is the American nutritionist Ancel Keys, (the famous “K ration” comes from his name). Mr. Keys lived long in Italy studying and demonstrating the virtues of food made of olive oil, vegetables and fruits but especially cereal complexes, key components of pasta and bread. The virtues of these foods are in raw materials and that these virtues to best express itself requires proper and careful management of these raw materials and the several processes that determine the well-known result. The Brambati Group has been capable to recreate the process in the recent plant built in the United States, where high technology is used to make the best quality of such precious. The plant, which develops in a very large surface, consists of 3 operational areas: first, the tower silos, the second area is the production and then there is the area of packaging and grinding. Combining the factory requirements, the technical specifications dictated by the client and the traditional know how, Brambati has developed and supplied a plant with the latest technology in the world with regard to the integration of networks and the simplicity of management. To execute and control all operations of the entire system is very easy; alarm control, flow of production, hardware diagnostic, software maintenance, management of recipes (because every type of pasta requires specific mixtures of flour to enhance the quality), reporting, documentation and production batches, are handy and accessible by the operators. As for reporting, Brambati thought to the traceability of raw materials and the increasing need of all producers.Every step of semolina is recorded on computer hard disk and stored in a database that makes it possible to trace the origin and path of transformation done by the product. The plant handles the entire production process, starting with the unloading from rail cars or as alternative trucks and then loaded in 8 silos (capacity of 110 tons each) through pneumatic conveying suction and compression. Before being stored, the flour undergoes a sort of refining through sieves, filters and metal detector, is then subjected to “check of acceptability” composed by a series of physical-chemical tests performed by the technicians of the laboratories to verify their suitability and quality. In this way met the high standards required by the customer, which are the basis of product quality. Once stored, the quality of flour are thoroughly mixed (on the basis of inputs determined by the recipe) and sent to production. At the base of the silos are the groups of mixing, with distributors and screws that dose semolina and sent pneumatically to 3 production lines with capacities that reach over 5000 kg/h (as been already agreed the extension to the fourth line). Finally there is the recovery of the pasta with the regrinding section. The engineering Brambati solved effectively the considerable complexity of this project, starting from the distance between the loading station wagon from the top of the tower silos and the area of mixing to the production and packaging. System includes also a variety of devices to be monitored, hundreds of motors, over 90 inverters, more than 100 electro valves, many soft starters, load cells, scales, levels, sensors, electrical controller for filter sleeves, fire protection systems and anti explosion, push bottom and other devices. All this takes place, as already mentioned, with a complete centralization of control and diagnostics. There are two locations identical: one in the control room (production area), the second in the tower silos area, through which the operator is able to maneuver and control the entire plant. Furthermore in the most remote areas of the packaging there are local management points to facilitate the maintenance. Included in the scope are two so calls “UFO” or portable consoles to be connected to a set of plug connections located throughout the plant for manual control of local utilities. A remote control of both software and hardware can be done directly from the Brambati office for prompt intervention in case of failure but also for regular operations audit or the help of our technician to the local operators. The teleassistance today is a basic tool on the relationship between supplier and customer, making even more effective and efficient assistance especially during the initial phase of operation. This required an advanced level of technology, networks and distributed architecture. A practical solution to the new industrial needs that require centralized controls for manufacturing synoptical with increasingly complex and articulated. But the most significant is the quality of the final product: a perfect synthesis of advanced systems to the traditional recipes of advanced technologies that meet and enhance the quality of raw materials to assert a leadership symbol of Made in Italy.
