Simplicity, practicality, low cost: three key advantages offered by crown caps, a vital beverage industry accessory since 1891 and, in many ways, a solution that remains inimitable.

A field in which Sacmi has worked untiringly since 1950, designing and building machines for the manufacture and application of crown caps with everfaster, better performance.

• Bottle neck diameter: 29 mm
• Wine and beer industries

29 mm steel and aluminum crown caps ensure maximum sealing pressure and the best hermetic seal for a vast range of drinks, both sparkling and natural, such as water, beer, energy drinks and, above all, wine and Champagne.

0.18 mm thickness:
DOWNGAUGE IT!!!

This modern cap concept can easily replace standard-thickness caps (0.24 millimetre thick) thanks to its complete compatibility and interchangeability.

The advantage lies in the fact that this cap uses thinner metal, less raw material, less packaging and optimised logistics. Proven benefits include CO2 reductions of 15% or more without lowering the performance provided by standard-thickness caps.

This new closure makes it possible to reduce environmental impact significantly, not just because less raw material is used but also because there is less waste and fewer emissions per product. Such benefits are additional to those obtained on the manufacturing and logistics fronts (less energy consumption and a higher number of pieces per unit of weight).

• Designed to replace standard crown caps with a lighter, more economic version.
• Same performance, same scope for decoration with offset printing.
• Thinner metal.
• Lower environmental impact (lower raw material consumption and CO2 emissions).

Add value with embossing

The embossed crown cap is a useful, effective solution for companies that make innovation and originality their hallmarks.

Starting with a 26 millimetre crown cap, the surface can be personalised in offset mode with a logo or text, the relief print being synchronised with the decoration: the obtained surface offers a new tactile sensation, maintaining the same performance and visual characteristics as the standard caps.

• Embossing protects product originality, reducing the chances of counterfeiting
• It's also possible to customise the cap without lithography, with a considerable reduction in costs.

ULTRA-LOW GAUGE CROWN CAPS: MAXIMUM METAL SAVINGS, COMPLIANCE WITH GLOBAL STANDARDS

ULG™ is brought to you by the leader in crown cap production: no less than 95% of the world’s crown caps are made with SACMI machines. Unmatched experience and extensive research at our Imola-based lab and technical dept. have created a solution that drastically reduces raw material consumption while maintaining excellent performance. The ULG™ cap for glass-bottled beverages (beer, CSD, etc.) reduces sheet metal thickness to as little as 0.14 mm.

UP TO 33% LESS STEEL:
UNPRECEDENTED SAVINGS

Crown cap manufacturing involves different standards: there are at least two blanking diameters and multiple sheet thicknesses.

Depending on adopted production standards, metal volume savings with the ULG™ solution are never less than 12% and can be as high as 33%.

COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL SIZE AND PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

ULG™ combines full compliance with international size/performance standards with unprecedented material savings.

Compared to the current 21-tooth standard, ULG™ has just 15 teeth and is obtained with an advantageous blanking diameter, smaller than those currently in use.

ULG™ USES SHEET METAL
ALREADY ON THE MARKET

ULG™ is produced from harder sheets that are, nevertheless, widely available and currently used for other metal closures for food and beverage.

ULG™ also has liners molded from existing compounds that are already in use on Low Gauge crown caps.
