Providing a 3R response forbottlers in PET
The 3R approach (Re-duce, Re-use, Re-cycle) has become a “must” in the global beverage bottling market. And within this three-pronged pursuit of a circular economy, Sacmi has a wide range of solutions on offer for bottlers in PET.
Less weight, same performance
Sacmi has identified new standards for closure caps which reduce the weight and therefore the amount of plastic required by up to 50% or more. For the bottler, this means they can develop new designs while at the same time taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the shift to the green economy.
The challenge of returnable PET
In addition to weight reduction, returnable PET is another cornerstone of sustainability in the beverage packaging sector. Sacmi offers new labelling solutions with washable adhesives and/or a reduction in the number of adhesive dots that allow proper disposal and reuse of the container in a food-safe context. All the developments anticipate the various regulatory changes being implemented worldwide.
Complete lines
The Blo2Fill stretch blow/fill platform has been developed by Sacmi to optimise the process and achieve speeds of up to 81,000 bph. The twin-cavity stretch blow-moulding machine, for example, doubles productivity for medium and small to medium formats. It is already available for the Combo solution, the new FEC (Full Electronic Capper) for the complete automation every single capping phase. All solutions can be combined with Sacmi Computer Vision systems for quality control of the complete container.
The voice of the customer
Every Sacmi Beverage technology and service is based on a VOC (Voice of the Customer) approach: This involves listening to and understanding the customer’s needs so that Sacmi always offers them the solution that suits their production requirements and their market best. Recent developments include new preventive maintenance plans for machines and equipment: these are designed to ensure efficient, worry-free production, so that customers get the best long-term results from their investment. In parallel with the maintenance plans, Sacmi will establish a new Packaging Centre, bringing together all the competencies of the Sacmi Group for complete product development.
