Following the positive experience in 2016, Sacmi returns to Moscow to present its complete range of packaging-beverage solutions. The Group will be showcasing a machine range characterised by versatility, productivity and low consumption, in synergy with new digital cap decoration solutions and latest-generation line supervisors
Following the success of the 2016 edition, Sacmi will be taking part for the second time in the Prodexpo fair in Moscow. This international fair (now in its 24 th edition) is dedicated to technology for the food and beverage industry and covers everything from raw materials to processing and packaging (Moscow Expo Centre, 6-10 February 2017). The country’s biggest event of its kind and a key showcase for the development of the local food and beverage industry, Prodexpo is organised with the backing of the Ministry of Agriculture and the sponsorship of the Union of Chambers of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation.
Over 110,000 visitors are expected; they’ll have a great opportunity to get a close look at the Sacmi range in the Group’s display area (Hall 6, stand 6C35). There will be a strong presence on the part of businesses from all over the Federation (almost 1,400 in the 2016 edition) and adjacent regions. Together, these areas constitute an enormous market in which Sacmi is an ever-more pivotal partner thanks to a growing customer pool across the entire range of technological and plant engineering packaging-beverage solutions, from raw material processing to automated end-of- line solutions.
A leading designer of complete PET processing lines and the world-leading supplier of plant engineering solutions for the manufacture of plastic caps using compression technology, Sacmi has progressively extended its product range to ensure a prompt response to market needs. In this field, new additions to the Sacmi range include the new CCM 24 SC, a compression press capable of producing 1,000 caps per hour with just 24 cavities. Compact and high- performance, it comes complete with a system for timed slitting of the anti-tamper band while integrated quality control provides a response to customers’ investment requirements - even those of small-medium businesses who have no intention of missing out on the guarantees and outstanding quality provided by Sacmi technology.
Downstream from the CCM, Sacmi proposes the new COLORA CAP, the revolutionary cap digital printing system that allows HD application of any decoration on plastic caps. Freely programmable – with up to 10 million images – the machine impresses the chosen decoration on the cap with scans lasting just 2 tenths of a second, ensuring a clear response to beverage manufacturers’ burgeoning need to bring out the best in both product and brand; this goes hand in hand with further developments on the coloured cap front (with the use of, in place of traditional coloured grains, liquid colorants that act on a neutral molten plastic base, thus making colour changeovers much faster).
One of just a handful of firms in the world that leads the way in different sectors and technologies, Sacmi also provides an integrated solution for the converter world thanks to the IPS platform, now even higher-performing and more flexible following the introduction of the new IPS 400 injection press and the imminent launch of the new IPS 300; the latter completes a range of solutions that covers every possible size requirement, maximising versatility while minimising mould and size changeover times.
At Sacmi technological excellence – with tip-top productivity, ultra-low consumption and outstanding versatility – is accompanied by cutting-edge total quality control thanks to inspection systems designed and marketed by the Group’s Automation & Inspection Systems Division. This means Sacmi can now complement PVS preform inspection systems– designed to operate both on the line at ultra-high speed and off-line or in research labs – with a complete range of systems for quality control of container and label plus advanced line supervisors (such as the all-new H.E.R.E., Human Expertise for Reactive Engineering); the latter allow manufacturers, thanks to latest-generation software and advanced on-machine sensors, to effect real-time monitoring of production and receive remote assistance from a specialised Sacmi technician to solve common problems.
H.E.R.E. is a comprehensive solutions system - at the service of the smart factory and its production processes – that SACMI supplies to the market as part of its innovative Industry 4.0 approach.
Modular and able to be customised, Sacmi solutions are developed alongside the customer and in close collaboration with the Group’s R&D facility (where solutions are tested prior to industrialisation), certified by top international players in the industry. Moreover, the Sacmi Global Network (in Russia headed by Sacmi Mosca since 2004) allows us to follow customers at every stage of the project and support them throughout the working life of the machine or plant thanks to a fast, efficient spare parts and assistance service.
