Fratelli Alberti: focus on innovation and safety

A benchmark among manufacturers of machines for the leather industry, Fratelli Alberti Srl has been carrying on a tradition of Italian excellence for over 75 years, and today represents a reference point for the production of skiving, splitting and combining machines for leather processing.

In recent years, the Varese-based company has focused in particular – alongside quality and service – on the innovation and safety factor, with the creation of products that have evolved in terms of Industry 4.0.

To this end, significant changes have been made to machinery that aim to guarantee greater safety for the end user, alongside a reduction in waste and a high level of quality.

Within the three macro-categories of leather processing machines (skiving, splitting and combining machines) that constitute the company’s core business, several new features have been introduced, starting with the carterized fleshing machine tables, designed to prevent accidental operations by the operator and the protection of moving parts. A filter upstream of the suction motor has also been introduced on this table to prevent the dispersion of fine dust into the air, with a view to environmental protection.

In terms of technological evolution, the graphic interface of the AP combining machines, AV2NET skiving machines and FAV430/520NET splitting machines has been made even more user-friendly. In the wake of the Industry 4.0 plan, computerised machines make work more precise, replicable and above all more productive, without altering its high quality.
