Zambelli ovens: optimal efficiency, minimal environmental impact

In an era where energy costs increasingly impact corporate margins, energy efficiency has emerged as a strategic imperative. Industrial firms are no longer confined to evaluate the productivity or reliability of machinery. Today a primary determinant in decision-making is the capacity to minimize consumption, mitigate waste and enhance operational sustainability.

Many machines available in the market are designed with obsolete technologies: non-insulated tunnels, a lack of intelligent power modulation and subpar materials from a thermal perspective. These factors contribute to substantial energy consumption, resulting in increased costs for the company and an unnecessary environmental impact. Moreover, without dynamic regulation and uniform thermal distribution, there is also a risk of compromising the final quality of the packaged product.

According to the PMMI – Sustainability & Technology 2023, companies within the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) sector are increasingly acknowledging efficiency as a vital competitive advantage.

The report indicates that:

• 41% of companies have already realized energy benefits through the implementation of new high-efficiency machinery.
• 70% intend to optimize consumption by 2025, aiming to reduce costs and fulfill ESG requirements.

These figures highlight a clear trend: companies are shifting from a logic of simple regulatory compliance to a long-term strategy in which machinery must actively contribute to the economic and environmental sustainability of the entire production plant.
Those who continue to use obsolete systems, without load control or thermal insulation, risk accumulating economic, technical and regulatory disadvantages compared to those who innovate today.

Zambelli Packaging has embraced these needs by developing a generation of ovens designed entirely according to the logic of efficiency. The entire system has been designed to maximise heat output with minimum absorption, reducing operating costs without compromising machine speed or reliability.
Efficiency is not just a declared value: it is a measurable fact. Comparisons with the market average confirm the performance of Zambelli ovens as among the most competitive in the sector.

Our machines offer the ultimate in energy efficiency and sustainability. Competitors can consume up to 97% more. This translates into concrete savings in operating costs and a lower environmental impact, without compromising on performance.
Innovative technology and ecological responsibility come together, as demonstrated by our tests, the results of which are shown in the table below.

• Fully insulated tunnels, with high-efficiency Repoglass panels (available in 3, 5 or 10 mm)
• Intelligent heat control, with automatic power modulation according to configuration
• Optimised internal aerodynamics for even heat distribution, reducing overheating or inefficiency points
• Cool-touch surfaces for increased operator safety, reducing workplace hazards and improving ergonomics

Zambelli ovens are designed to adapt to every production requirement:

• Fast and intuitive format changeover to switch from one production to another in less time
• Compatibility with recycled or lighter films, in line with the new sustainability requirements of primary and secondary packaging
• Integration into automatic multi-pack lines, even at high speed
• Reliability over intensive production cycles (24/7), minimising unscheduled stops

In a market where every kWh affects margins, Zambelli Packaging offers concrete and measurable solutions. Our ovens are not only more efficient: they are designed to adapt to every production reality, optimising costs and performance.
