Rigid Packaging Lab: certified, tailor-made innovation
The SACMI Lab takes an integrated approach to the design and development of complete, customized cap-container solutions. Certified by the main global brand owners, this framework lets SACMI provide customers with the support they need to develop solutions for every specific need, taking product sustainability to the next level while boosting performance and enhancing the final customer's consumption experience.
Key market proposals include the latest range of dedicated caps for 26/22 mm necks: these reduce the need for virgin resins by up to 30% without altering performance and are available for water, carbonated drinks and hot filling. Sustainability is also being driven by an innovative system for post-processing production of tethered caps: here, SACMI has pre-empted the introduction of new EU standards by developing a practical, profitable solution that is winning over more and more customers worldwide, in keeping with the sustainability policies of the major brand owners with whom SACMI works daily.
Performance, efficiency and process control
SACMI offers manufacturers a unique partnership to ensure they progress smoothly from ‘product idea’ to ‘finished container’. Exclusive technologies such as CCM (Continuous Compression Molding) for caps and IPS (Injection Preform Systems) for preform production make it possible to achieve unmatched productivity thanks to exceptional process control solutions. These include the advanced Smart Pack control packages on the cap presses and unique inspection systems such as the PVS 156, integrated directly on the preform presses.
Key advantages of SACMI technology include consistent quality and advanced real-time controls that aim to make the entire production process increasingly simple and efficient. Thanks to the integration of cutting-edge tools such as Classy AI, any production defects can be classified automatically and accurately, streamlining process control. Part of the advanced CVs Suite, this software solution goes hand in hand with the introduction of a true on-machine digital assistant, Gilda AI, which provides real-time suggestions and smooths routine management and maintenance tasks.
Global assistance and continuous support
SACMI provides continuous assistance via its Global Network: the latter’s dedicated facilities and technical teams help producers manage their machines from day to day and ensure the constant availability of original spare parts. And that’s not all: new digital services such as Smart Care let manufacturers share their machine operating data with the SACMI team and take advantage of personalized assistance and proactive problem-solving services.
