at the npe plastics fair in orlando 2327 march 2015, sacmi will display a fully functioning new, optimised version of the ccm 48 with the cool mould for the manufacture of onepiece csd caps a solution that incorporates all the advantages of compression technology, from ultralow cycle times to optimum cap size and weightat the orlandoheld npe fair, sacmi will be presenting the most competitive solution on the market for the production of csd carbonated soft drinks caps, one that offers a complete &lsquoturnkey&rsquo service and the guarantee of a quality that is certified and approved by the majority of the industry&rsquos global players. the machine on show will be the new optimised version of the 48cavity ccm continuous compression moulding, which ensures electricity consumption that is even lower than on previous versions.able to achieve output rates of up to 2000 light caps per hour for mineral waters, the machine is equipped with the new cool mould with improved cooling that, thanks to a modified liquid coolant circuit inside the mould in practice the circuit has been doubled, allows the cooling times that weigh so heavily on total cycle time to be reduced significantly.at the fair we&rsquoll be presenting a csd cap, the neckfinish1881, the standard one used by all major carbonated drink producers. it is with this onepiece highperformance hdpe cap that visitors can examine closely by observing the machine in operation at the group stand that sacmi aims to take on the challenge posed by the us market, where the csd sector accounts for no less than 45 of all soft drinks water included.this cap will be produced by the ccm48 with a cycle time of less than 2.4 seconds, allowing output rates of 1200 caps a minute. this result is a direct consequence of the more general advantages offered by compression technology &ndash compared to injection &ndash that range from a lower material extrusion temperature to cutting of the material into predetermined doses that are all processed inside the machine under identical conditions, thus ensuring complete process repeatability. in short, the outcome is caps with size and weight characteristics that, despite such a contained cycle time, are evidently better that those attainable with alternative technologies.a strong presence on the us market and its own dedicated branch, founded in 1994, that now employs 65 people sacmi offers not just cuttingedge technology but also, and above all, a turnkey service spanning from cap design to cap production, plus the provision of efficient spare parts and technical assistance services a true &ldquoonestepshop&rdquo. it should also be pointed out that every proposed cap solution, before going into production, is tested at the sacmi r&d facility, thus ensuring guaranteed quality for the final customer and so allowing the group to operate as a technicaltechnological consultant alongside the customer, from the initial design stage to final manufacturing at the customer&rsquos factory.
