The Pellacini family started the business at the end of the 19th century, in Parma, in today’s Food Valley. Working in synergy with the first canning industries, Pellacini has experienced all the growth phases of this sector.
Thanks also to an experience gained in the international field, today it is able to respond to the demands of a market that is increasingly attentive to productivity, safety and economic and environmental sustainability.
Collaborating today with the most important and qualified companies in the technical sector, Pellacini designs and produces complete lines, as well as all the machines and components for the production of creams, purees and fruit concentrates, juices, nectars, jams, vegetable preserves, sauces, and vegetable concentrates.
The range is then completed with: machines for heat treatments, pasteurization, and sterilization both in autoclave and in continuous, aseptic filling, enzymatic treatments and recovery of production waste.
Pellacini technology is extremely flexible, reliable, easy to maintain, updated and present in the main international markets: Europe, South America, North Africa, the Middle East and the Far East.
Customer and project are the heart of the Pellacini philosophy, thanks to the new production method, “Pellacini Tayloring System”: a process that, having eliminated its production constraints, allows you to create the perfect equipment for each customer, entrusting its production to workshops carefully selected and specialized in individual processes.
The global food process sector is made up of consolidated and established technologies in which the residual space for innovation would seem little, but today more than ever with the affirmation of the issues of sustainability and energy and production efficiency, a space for evolution opens up in the production processes which concern in particular the food sector.
And it is precisely in this direction that Pellacini directs its research more, as evidenced by some projects already established on the market concerning the recovery of production waste and the production of rotary sieve pulpers and refiners.
The recovery of production waste is a new technology that allows the reuse of 95% of waste from passers and refiners: it is a totally natural process and does not involve the use of any chemical substance foreign to the product.
A diluted cream is obtained which maintains the color and aroma of the raw material and which can be reintroduced into the processing line.
The management of the whole process is completely automatic and does not require the presence of an operator, there is also an automatic C.I.P. washing system.
With a view to production and energy efficiency Pellacini designs and manufactures a range of pulpers / refiners that allow to work, without interruptions and maintaining a constant yield, all highly viscous or low humidity products such as berries, rose hips, mustard, products of the undergrowth, garlic and the like.
The machines are equipped with a system that keeps the internal sieve clean automatically and continuously, keeping the machine yield constant and thus helping to reduce energy consumption in relation to the quantities produced.
Pellacini’s production ranges in many fields of the process industry, producing and designing machines and plants for:
• fruit single strength purees and pulps, nectars, natural fruit juices and flat drinks, jams and concentrates, both of fruit in a temperate and tropical climate;
