45 TRADE SHOW PREVIEW PET planet Insider Vol. 18 No. 04/17 www.petpla.net Sacmi excellence for food & beverage packaging The Sacmi booth at will be showcasing the new technol- ogy from modular labellers to Packaging robots. Pride of place on the stand will go to the new CCM application for the manufacture of coffee pods and confectionery packaging (the stand will be shared with C&M Holding). The application exhibited at the fair is a 32-cavity CCM press. This offers a cycle time of 2.4-3.2 seconds as opposed to 3.8-5 seconds with injection technology, while the special plastic extrusion process which, with compression, occurs at lower tempera- tures, gives energy savings of up to 30%. In addition, there is a complete guarantee of process repeatability as it is pos- sible to manage each cavity independently and incorporate the advanced vision systems produced by the Group’s Auto- mation & Service Division. Applicable to both systems and the manufacture of compatible pods, the system ensures lower running costs. Further applica- tions have been developed for the production of eco-compatible and self-seal pods. From coffee pods to labelling solutions, the renowned Kube range (Sacmi’s new modular labellers) offer markets versatility and have won over a growing number of key bottling customers, espe- cially in the wine sector. Kube “plug&play” technology lets manufacturers work efficiently across multiple labelling tech- nologies and systems - hot, cold, self-adhesive - with one machine and with minimum label and/or format changeover times. When it comes to automated handling and end-line solutions, Sacmi will, at Düsseldorf, be exhibiting a 4-axis pick&place “spider” robot with an integrated vision system for the insertion of flexible packages (pouches, pillow bags etc.) in American RSC boxes. www.sacmi.com Sukano’s new additions to its matting agent masterbatch portfolio enable converters to make uncoated BOPET films appear very similar to coated flexible packaging, in terms of visual aesthetics and low gloss effect. Benefit fromSukano's expertise and proprietary formulations, to reach unprecedented performance levels both during manufacturing and on the shelf. Thinking of coating replacement?
