All moulding machines are equipped with robots and gripping hands that can be customized according to the product, and if necessary each process is configured to obtain maximum efficiency and the best possible quality. For this reason, automatic feeding conveyors of various types are used together with the robots, also with immersion in water, tanks for rapid cooling, blowers and cooling cages.

In 2022, Vifra has decided to invest in a digitization process inside the production department, improving and speeding up the current activities and procedures. Thus, the management and handling of the work cycles will be automated and the entire production process will be directly managed by the company management software.
