PROCESSING & PACKAGING
The SACMI range at Chinaplas 2021
The Italian international manuf- acturer of machines, SACMI has complete plants for the ceramic tile, beverage, packaging, quality control process, chocolate processing ma- chines and plastics industries. With over 650 machines sold in China, SAC- MI is the country’s absolute leader in cap manufacturing solutions that use compression technology.
With a market share of over 75% in China, SACMI is the Italy’s leading provider of plastic cap manufacturing solutions that use compression tech- nology. Hence the company’s pivotal role at Chinaplas, (held from 13th to 16th April 2021; SACMI Stand Number: 10G41, Hall 10), to be for the very first time in Shenzhen, where SACMI will be showcasing a complete range that integrates the cap slitting and folding solution with in-line slit quality con- trol.
Advanced in-line controls at every stage and technological leadership in the manufacturing process allow SAC- MI to excel, offering the best solutions on the market to respond to the latest

packaging-closure trends from a light- weight and integrated neck-capsule design perspective.
More specifically, SACMI has chosen the Chinese market - where over 650 CCM machines have been installed by key players in the local industry - as the perfect showcase for promoting major on-press technological innova- tions that go hand-in-hand with 4.0 controls throughout the production line.
In addition to in-line total quality control systems, SACMI has enhan- ced the CCM range with dedicated solutions such as the new CM-Flow system; the latter can even be instal- led on existing machines to provide a combination of energy savings (up to 9%) and improved extrusion process quality. Furthermore, new in-press controls let manufacturers spot any drift away from production parame- ters in advance, allowing for the set- up of preventive and predictive main- tenance programs.
At Chinaplas, SACMI will also display the SFM slitting solution for an AB
1881 COOL+ cap for CSD applications. To meet their burgeoning demand for product personalization, Chinese cu- stomers can take advantage of a com- plete range of SACMI services that span from design to assistance, espe- cially as regards cap design and custo- mization; the over 1000 caps in the catalogue can be customized together with the customer using embossing or offset external decoration.
Moreover, like the other machines in the line, the displayed slitting solu- tion can be integrated with the SACMI vision system; the latter comes in va- rious versions (from 1 to 7 cameras) and features advanced CVS 360 con- trol software.
The hub for the country’s technical and sales assistance services is SACMI Shanghai. Its' 55-strong team includes highly specialized, fully trained tech- nicians who support the customer at every stage. During 2020 this hub overcame every challenge to provide vital long-distance support and assi- stance, including complete machine/ plant remote start-up services.
