Packaging 4.0 is set to play a starring role at All4Pack Paris, the international fair that, from 26 to 29 November 2018, merges Emballage and Manutention into a single exhibition. The event (which will also host, for the first time in Paris, the PETnology Europe symposium), will see Sacmi play a central role with its comprehensive range of one-step solutions designed to take manufacturers from pallet to labelled container.

The Group stand (hall 6, booth n° 6D059) will be placing particular emphasis on the wide range of valves designed by Sacmi Beverage for still beverage and CSD filling. The key elements of this Sacmi technology are high quality materials and the precision and hygiene of the contactless filling process, making it the perfect response to the needs of today's global beverage industry.

Complete and versatile, Sacmi filling solutions, highly sophisticated electronic fillers that ensure outstanding flexibility, hygiene and performance. Their applications range from water to soft drinks, beer, dairy products and other “sensitive” drinks and can be combined with upstream solutions that ensure maximum versatility with all format types. Hence the growing market success of SBF, the Sacmi stretch-blow moulder that, thanks to the dual cavity system, provides double the speed with medium-small formats. Container closure and labelling operations complete the new Sacmi HeroLine, an all-inclusive line that, through integration and synchronisation of all processes, now brings 'smart industry' principles to the beverage world.

Producers can thus look forward to an array of new opportunities, such as the ability to integrate bottling lines - including an all-in-one version with the new Sacmi Heroblock – with upstream cap(CCM) and preform (IPS range) production solutions. In this case too, automation and fewer handling requirements maximise the manufacturing and energy efficiency of what is a true pellet-to-pallet PET line.

Since Sacmi machines are able to communicate both with each other and the Sacmi H.E.R.E. line supervisor, customers can unite excellent technological performance with advanced monitoring and diagnostics. All topped off with the broad, comprehensive range of inspection systems, developed by the Group's Automation & Inspection Systems Division, ensuring total quality control at every stage of production.
