Sacmi accounts for the vast majority of sales of these light cap manufacturing applications. Compression technology has been a dominant technology in the bever- age cap sector for almost 30 years, with more than 1,800 machines sold globally. This technology doesn’t just ensure consistent, precise size and weight, it also promises better performance than injection in terms of energy consumption, size/colour changeover times and the structural quality of the caps. These advantages largely stem from the broad, versatile range of resins that can be employed and the fact that extrusion and mould- ing systems do not use hot runners. All CCM lines feature a video camera quality control system and band slitting-folding system. Sacmi says that this solution is preferable to a band with injection-moulded bridges, also in the case of tethered cap manufacturing. As soon as the European Commission first decided on the adoption of tethered closures for bottles smaller than 3 l, Sacmi immediately developed a series of solutions for all the main standard and lightweight necks. The ready-to- market range in this field is already a broad one. www.sacmi.com 29-30 September, 2021 MESSE ESSEN, GERMANY REGISTER FOR FREE TODAY www.ami.ltd/recycling-expo Co-located with: Organised by: Join us at Europe’s focused free-to-attend exhibition and conference for the plastics recycling industry. • Source new equipment, materials and technologies • Keep up-to-date with the latest industry trends and discussions • Put your questions to the experts in a face-to-face environment • Make up for lost time in 2020 by accessing the full supply chain in one place
