Italmodular’s meat overhead conveyor is perfect for hooking, transporting and storing meat in all types of processing rooms.
THE HISTORY OF ITALMODULAR
The origins of Italomodular’s activities date back to 1882, in Pandino, where Giovanni and his sons were blacksmiths.
Giovanni was succeeded in the activity of blacksmiths and repairers of agricultural machinery by sons Rosetto and Luigi.
In the post-World War II period, in the 1950s, numerous slaughtering and cattle trading activities began to develop and spread, therefore Luigi started to build the first slaughterhouse facilities and equipment for cold cuts and provide the first local slaughterhouses with the necessary equipment to carry out the meat slaughter process.
In 1976 “Italmacelli S.n.c” was born, it was the first name of the actually “Italmodular”, with the aim to continue the construction activity for slaughter plants. Important innovations were made immediately and in the 1980s aluminum was introduced as the main material.
After a series of refinements in 1980, a system of meat overhead conveyors entirely made of aluminum alloy, called IM80, suitable for both large abattoirs and small butchers was introduced. This versatility has allowed Italmacelli s.n.c. to expand its clientele.
In 1988, the IM89 system, which is suitable not only for butchers but also for meat shops and supermarkets, was introduced.
In 1990 the company expanded its product line, introducing the IM92 system of modular shelving in aluminum alloy. Innovations were also introduced at the procedural level, a software was created to optimize the composition of the shelving: the Shelving Optimization.
In 1994 the new model of meat overhead conveyor was born, the IM96 which for certain uses replaces the IM80.
The company is continuously growing and diversifying the business, Italmodular S.r.l was born.
ITALMODULAR AND THE ALUMINIUM
Italmodular prefers aluminum as the main component for its products, despite being less economical.
Why aluminum?
The choice of this company to use aluminum, despite the possibility of using cheaper materials, was due to the characteristics of this material.
- Aluminum is a lightweight material, but despite this, it is also very impact resistant.
- Durable and corrosion-resistant: this feature makes it antitoxic and perfect for the food industry, as it does not alter the taste and color of food
- Excellent terminus and electrical conductor,
- Low environmental impact: aluminum is 100% recyclable and allows you to recover much of its initial purchase value

- Manual Overhead Rail Lowering system. Used to connect overhead rails at different heights. Made from anodized aluminum, it is customized depending on the angle and difference in level.
- Pulley Connector. Installed on the end of the IM09 overhead rail, it helps with removing and inserting pulleys. Cast aluminum structure.
- Pulley Stop. Stainless steel mechanical stop for holding the pulley in place so that the meat can be processed.
- Anti-Condensation Thermal Break. Installed near the walk-in cold room door, it impedes the heat conduction of metals, reducing the formation of condensation. Made from plastic.
- Anti-Condensation Load-Bearing Thermal Break. Installed near the walk-in cold room door. It impedes the heat conduction of metals, reducing the formation of condensation and doing away with the need for supporting structures up against the door. Made from plastic.
- Spring-loaded Horizontal Joint for overhead rail. Enables a break to be introduced in the overhead rail by sliding doors. Galvanized steel structure.
