26 EVENT PREVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 25 No. 11/24 www.petpla.net preview part 2 ACP Ergon series: automatic compact packers SMI will showcase an ACP 22 S Ergon case packer to pack 33cl glass bottles in cardboard case in the 4x3 format, with adhesive tape closure. The cardboard case is a good solution to create a multipack and guarantees a resistant packaging that can be customised graphically for the product promotion. ACP 22 S Ergon case packers feature a pick & place packaging system with loose product top loading. This model is equipped with a double picking gripper and can reach an output up to 25 packs/minute. The ACP Ergon series consists of automatic compact packers, suitable for packing a wide range of products (glass, metal, plastic, cardboard containers and rigid bags) of several types of products, in American cardboard cases (RSC). The ACP case packers are characterised by a monobloc structure, where all machine functions are grouped: product separation, insertion into cases with product top loading, cardboard magazine and box sealing. The carton magazine, located next to the machine, allows the loading of pre-folded blanks in an easy and ergonomic way. ACP Ergon case packers are equipped with MotorNet System automation and control technology based on Sercos fieldbus, which ensures compatibility with Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things (IoT) platforms within the plant. SMI supplies a wide range of bottling and packaging machines with an innovative design, equipped with IoT technology, that offer smart solutions for productions up to 50,000bph and that meet requirements of competitiveness, efficiency, flexibility, energy saving and easy management of the production plant. www.smigroup.it Label teach-in in less than a minute The Heuft FinalView II LBL makes label inspection more adaptive. New types and designs can now be taught in within a short time. This is good for production quality and also increases the availability and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) of entire filling plants at the same time. Individualisation is in vogue. This applies in particular to beverage packaging and its design. And what is more individual than an own image on the bottle label? Visitors to the Heuft stand will be able to create this themselves. And see how quickly and easily a new individual design can be taught in so that a personalised bottle of this kind is not rejected as a foreign type during the label inspection but recognised as good. The company says that the Heuft FinalView II LBL. can do this in less than 60 s with the intelligent Heuft reflexx A.I. image processing. The teach-in assistant of the audiovisual Heuft NaVi user guidance simplifies the learning process. It immediately and permanently memorises the modified label with all its characteristic features and design elements. This applies to a photo as well as to short-term promotional labelling, among other things. The Heuft FinalView II LBL has to go through a suitably equipped bottle once for this purpose if the container shape is unchanged – and the Heuft reflexx A.I. has permanently memorised the modified type. The modified label will no longer be evaluated as faulty from then on. The intelligent in-line inspection actually identifies foreign types of bottle as reliably as it does crooked, wrinkled or torn ones. Four Heuft reflexx A.I. highperformance cameras on two levels generate an undistorted 360° panoramic view of each individual bottle on which the smallest faults are detected and marked in real time. www.heuft.com SMI Hall 7A | Booth 503 Heuft Hall 8 | Booth 104 2024 Training Schedule Technology&Application of PET Plastic Packaging for Hot-Fill &Aseptic Beverages Join our expert team for small group training on a variety of subjects - from materials to recycling.
