Frequently Asked Questions
Who makes the Navona Base square bottom forming unit?
The Navona Base is made by Macari-Fidia (Macari S.r.l.), based in Ciriè near Turin, Italy. The company was founded in 1990 and supplies customers in over 30 countries.
What does the Navona Base do?
The Navona Base opens and forms the square bottom of a shopping bag with a patented system, inserts the reinforcing carton, and closes the bottom by folding the side flaps. It starts from the shopping bag tube.
What are the working steps of the Navona Base?
The tube is fed, and the first and then the second front tube flap grain are broken. The square bottom is opened and formed, the reinforcing carton is inserted into the opened bottom, and a plough folds the side flaps.
What tube sizes and carton weights does it take?
The Navona Base processes tube formats from 170 × 225 mm, with gussets of 3+3 cm, up to 500 × 540 mm, with gussets of 7+7 cm. The reinforcing cardboard weighs 200 to 500 g, and the feeder loading capacity is 200 mm.
What is the Navona Base made of?
It has a tube feeder with a directional and launching system, a square bottom opening and forming station with an inserter that positions the reinforcing carton, a plough folding unit for the side flaps and a delivery table.
When should I choose the Navona Base instead of the Navona?
Choose the Navona Base when you need the forming, reinforcing and closing steps of the square bottom. The Navona goes further: it adds a 90° cross unit, a gluing system with two applicators and a punch unit for the handle holes.
How much does a Navona Base cost?
The Navona Base is quoted per project, because Macari-Fidia configures it to the customer’s requirements and publishes no price. For a quotation, send a sample of your shopping bag, the tube format and gussets, the carton weight and your volume to [email protected] or use the contact form.
What installation and service does Macari-Fidia offer for the Navona Base?
On request, Macari-Fidia provides consulting, installation, start-up and staff training on site through its own technicians and fitters. Agreements for maintenance and servicing can be added; they are listed on the Aftersales & Spare Parts page.
