Technology for the edible oil and canning sectors will take center stage at the “Italian food capital”: from FlexiKUBE labelers to Bag-In-Box and FFS (Form-Fill-Seal) solutions to complete plant engineering. In parallel, advanced customer support will be presented, from the product idea to after-sales services.
At CibusTec, the leading food and beverage processing technology event for 80 years, visitors will soon be able to delight in the best zero-mile food technology (Fiere di Parma, October 24-27, 2023). From its nearby headquarters, SACMI Beverage will bring state-of-the-art solutions, which will undoubtedly be of interest to a segment that is always looking for innovation, especially in terms of production versatility and respect for the environment.
FlexiKUBE, the most versatile labeler on the market
The SACMI Beverage range of modular labelers plays a key role in the market by offering optimized solutions for both high volume and medium production lines where speed and adaptability of format changeovers are essential.
With KUBE, SACMI takes the ability to handle diversified product mixes and frequent changeovers to the next level. The machine offers an efficient plug&play approach, as its modular structure allows manufacturers to add a wide range of options over time (e.g. cold glue, hot melt, self-adhesive).
For example, this labeler is ideal for the edible oil and canning industries, as it allows manufacturers to use multiple labeling technologies and systems on a single platform: all with the reliability, low power consumption and exceptional mechanical performance that SACMI is known for.
As part of the drive towards total quality control, the labeler also includes SACMI Computer Vision’s optional LVS (labeling vision system), with exceptional ease of use and low maintenance that make it easy to incorporate into existing lines.
SACMI Bag-In-Box, maximum product shelf life, less environmental and logistical impact
Bag-In-Box packaging technology, which has been part of the SACMI range for many years and enjoys great success around the world, is becoming increasingly popular as it reduces environmental and logistical costs.
Quality, of course, remains paramount: It is therefore not surprising that SACMI solutions have received awards from major international players (in the wine and edible oil sectors, for example) thanks to the integrity and first-rate organoleptic qualities they provide to products.
One of the main quality indicators – measured according to strict international standards – is the residual oxygen content in the bag, which can be a potential source of product oxidation: with SACMI BIB, it is always below 0.8 ppm (parts per million). In addition, the high filling accuracy (<0.3%) makes SACMI BIB ideal for filling premium products.
Bag-In-Box also has one of the most environmentally friendly product volume to packaging quantity ratios. This simplifies logistics and reduces associated costs, while reducing transport-related emissions. In fact, it is these environmentally friendly packaging credentials that are making it increasingly popular with Italian customers.
FFS (form-fill-seal): safe, high-performance and ready for the ecological transition
FFS is SACMI’s solution for thermoforming, filling, sealing and labeling of beverage, food and dairy containers. Safe, high-performance and flexible, the SACMI form-fill-seal line is a valuable ally for the “green transition”, as it focuses on the use of alternative resins for which a complete recycling chain has already been developed.
Thanks to design features that make it one of the best performing solutions on the market, SACMI FFS adapts to any type of resin available on the market (PS, PP, PET). Note that, from a recycling point of view, one of the main current trends is the replacement of traditional PS with alternative resins such as PP and PET.
Designed for high productivity – up to 100,000 containers per hour – the FFS offers exceptionally easy changeovers and can be configured with different filling systems (hygienic, aseptic, ESL). It can also process multilayer (PS-based and PP-based), hot-fill (PP) and high transparency (PET) solutions.
To ensure that the right investment decisions are always made, SACMI’s technical team is present every step of the way, providing all the necessary advice to ensure that manufacturers move smoothly from one material to another or from a traditional to a more innovative format, all while safeguarding customer-focused features such as product shelf life (barrier properties, etc.).
Complete plants and turnkey services
With twenty years of experience in designing complete plants – stretch blow molding, filling, capping and labeling – SACMI is the only supplier capable of overseeing the entire supply chain. It all starts with the “product idea”, which customers can co-develop with SACMI’s new Packaging Center.
With SACMI Beverage, highly automated and integrated plants (the latest innovations include the FEC, or fully electronic capping machine) go hand in hand with ample scope for plant customization to meet specific production requirements. These advantages also extend to after-sales service thanks to the availability of new high value-added support packages that enable proactive and predictive maintenance.
