TRADE SHOW PREVIEW 47 PET planet insider Vol. 12 No. 04/11 www.petpla.net Sacmi Hall 8A Booth E03 Plastic cap compression press The Team Sacmi stand will have as its centrepiece the company’s new CCM48SB press. The machine, which sits at the top of its range, has been designed for the light- weight single-piece HDPE cap market and produces caps for water, hot filling and CAF (cold aseptic filling). Sacmi says that cycle times have been reduced to 2s (from 2.4s) and has energy consumption of 0.4 kWh/kg. All parts on the CCM48SB have been redesigned to reduce mainte- nance times, with the number of necessary tasks minimised and parts optimised to reduce the required task times. The machine on the stand will be equipped with a mould suitable for the production of single-piece HDPE S29W-3 caps, with a 29mm diameter and a weight of 1.25g. Online quality con- trol will be by Sacmi’s CVS vision system. Sacmi has observed that the focus in the beverage industry is no longer on individual machines but tends, rather, to complete ‘turnkey’ solutions. The company’s stand will include other machines and equipment in a display intended to demonstrate its overall ‘bottle analysis and optimisation’ strategy. Visitors will have the opportunity to examine roll-fed sleeve Technology in labelling; filling machines, featuring exclusive patented Solo-Mas technol- ogy that allows the dozens of filler valves to be managed via a single flow meter controlling a master valve; and SBF blowers, which allow two bottles (of 1l or less) to be pro- duced at a time. www.sacmi.com Increased flexibility The Sidel Group will be presenting its latest technology for each stage of the bottling process. Its emphasis is on increased flexibility and reliability, from high-tech packag- ing machinery and line engineering to beverage protection, packaging design and technical training. The company will be demonstrating its new SP 1000 HS low-level palletiser. During layer formation the machine rotates and positions the packs into a perfectly shaped layer to be stacked and transferred precisely onto the pallet. Sidel’s patent-pending ‘pusher’ guides layers alternately to the right or to the left while optimizing ‘return stroke’ time. The process is sup- ported by Place (Pallet and Layer Automated Configuration Editor), Sidel’s new software program, which is particularly suitable for short-batch runs. The software is compatible with Sidel’s Robo-Smart and Axo-Smart layer-preparation systems. The new SP 1000 HS palletiser is also compat- ible with Robo-Kombi and Robo-Column, which pick up and place the packs. www.sidel.com Sidel Hall 13 Booth C35/E46 0 V S Q S F G P S N XXX SFTJMVY DPN %BNTUSBBU 8FUUFSFO #FMHJVN 5FM 'BY TBMFT!SFTJMVY DPN 1&5 1SFGPSNT #PUUMFT .POPMBZFS #BSSJFS 3FGJMM )PUGJMM : P V S C P U U M F XXX SFTJMVY DPN 7JTJU VT BU *OUFSQBDL BOE EJTDPWFS PVS BXBSE XJOOJOH "JS 1BDLˆ 4ZTUFN )BMM TUBOE ) XXX BJSPMVY DPN
