TRADE SHOW PREVIEW PET planet Insider Vol. 19 No. 04/18 www.petpla.net 57 Sacmi to showcase its full range of caps & closures and services 2,000 caps per minute Sacmi Imola’s stand at Chinaplas, which will occupy 300m 2 of display space, will feature its full range of cap manufacturing and quality control technology. Its compression press range now benefits from the company’s new cap-preform integrated design services. It will also showcase closure handling inspection systems for cap quality control and the advanced Sacmi line supervisor, which manages orders and monitors all plant performance parameters, even remotely. Hall 2H Booth B61 The company’s range of CCM (continuous compression moulding) compression presses are claimed to offer the lowest cycle times in the industry. Production output is up to 2,000 caps/minute from 48 mould units. Offering intrinsic advantages in terms of productivity, energy savings and reliability, compression technol- ogy operates at lower temperatures, which reduces on-material stress and extends the working life of both machine and plant, Sacmi says, and adds that the technology has the capacity to manufacture lighter, better-performing caps, compared to other solutions, such as injection moulding. Weight and other param- eters can be modified via the opera- tor interface. Sacmi CCM machines can manufacture caps of different designs using the same mould and provide a large variety of designs. The com- pany also offers integrated cap- preform design services that can combine weight and cost reduction, along with innovative design solu- tions. It can provide targeted consul- tancy services right from the product design stage. One of the flagships of the Sacmi range is a slitting machine series that is specifically designed to manage every aspect of cap finishing, even where caps are manufactured using non-CCM presses. Sacmi’s CHS (closures handling system) works alongside the com- pression presses to provide a total, in-line high-speed cap inspection. The latest CHS version to reach the market can perform comprehensive cap inspection through 2D reconstruction of the 3D perimeter. This solution, which was developed by Sacmi Automation & Inspection Systems Division, uses the advanced algorithms already success- fully implemented on labelled container, preform and deco- rated metal cap inspection systems. Both machine and inspection system can be controlled remotely using the advanced Sacmi line supervisor, which allows real-time monitoring of plant performance and management of production orders by interfacing directly with the customer’s ERP. Sacmi has been based in China, offering its advanced technology and efficient after-market assistance, for over 30 years. www.sacmi.it
