What happens when new machine technology is tested under real production pressure for 18 months?
![]() |
Together with Bericap UK, Sumitomo (SHI) Demag put the all electric PAC E through a full-scale production trial – running over 11 million cycles in a demanding caps & closures application.
Key results:
- >50% energy savings compared to conventional systems
- Fast cycle times with high process stability
- Consistent dosing & thermal performance under continuous load
- 1.5 year ROI confirmed in live production
- Proven capability for >1 billion caps/year (24/7 operation)
The project shows what is possible when machine development is co-created with the end user.
