PROCESSING & PACKAGING
hand the packages must have charac- teristics in terms of practicality (they must be easy to open and- in the case, for example, of products such as chew- ing gum- reclose, they must guarantee a high shelf life, adequate qualities robustness and offer an easy product dosing system) and on the other hand, they must help the company to convey messages and, in general, the brand image, taking into consideration that the style in the confectionery sector is typically imaginative and colorful.
The answer given by ACMA to these needs, in addition to the Flip Top and Zip Top packages, is called “Ecoshell”: a paper-based package, characterized by an innovative design that allows, through an aesthetically refined and patented solution, to enjoy an optimal dosage of the product and great ease of use. The new technology developed by ACMA for the production of the package makes it possible to efficiently obtain shapes that are not commonly feasible, guaranteeing originality in appearance and great flexibility, thus allowing the customer ample possibili- ties in terms of customization. Ecoshell is in fact scalable in size and propor- tions, it adapts to different commercial purposes, depending on the type of product to be packaged.
Machines on display at ProSweets
ACMA’sCW 600 F will be one of the machines on display in Cologne: it is a unit with alternating movements for the multi-style packaging of products such as chocolates and flat- base candies, designed to meet the

specific needs of those markets that require solutions up to 600 strokes per minute, characterized by high flexibility, wrapping quality and ease of use. The machine can produce shapes such as double twist, boero, twist on side, bunch, wallet and wallet with strap, allowing to carry out an independent unwinding of the reels and ensuring perfect packaging even in the case of products with internal and external wrapping of different sizes. ACMA is also working on the implementation of other wrapping styles, including the “envelope” and the “protected double twist”, a more protected version of the homonymous format. The compact layout also allows it to integrate perfectly within diversified production environments, while the cantilevered construction and the use of brushless motors simplify management, maintenance and cleaning activities. The offer is completed by the possibility of working with all the main wrapping materials.
Man-machine interface: Optimate
ACMA will present at Prosweets the Optimate operator panel (Web HMI) in the “premium” version, installed on its CW 800 (one of the machines ex- hibited at the fair, together with CW 600 F). In this new version, Optimate differs from the “basic version” for dif- ferent factors, among which advanced methods in terms of preventive main- tenance of the machine and format change are highlighted. The latter takes place in a guided manner, in order to be as fast as possible and reduce the downtime of the line. The basic char- acteristics remain unchanged, making Optimate intuitive and user friendly in all operations, from the daily operation of the machine to maintenance opera- tions. Finally, Optimate allows a real- time intervention (Advanced Remote Assistance) by the ACMA team of ex- perts to perform diagnostics and quick troubleshooting.
