CCM - Continuous Compression Molding Machine

CCM hydraulic rotary presses are specially designed to produce thermoplastic products by means of compression.
A continuous work cycle is carried out, during which the plastic material is fed by a plasticization unit, cut into suitably sized pellets and then inserted inside the cavities.
Compression molding is already a well known technology worldwide. More than a half of plastic beverage caps are produced through compression.

INSPECTION SYSTEMS FOR PLASTIC CAPS

As a market leader in the production of compression molding machines for plastic caps, SACMI has developed a complete line of machines and inspection systems. Vision systems and Spark testers are the daily help needed by all cap manufacturers.

DIGITAL MANUFACTURING

The benefits of the profitable digital revolution. Digitalizing processes brings major benefits, as SACMI clearly demonstrates with a presentation of the key 4.0 development areas on its cap and PET preform production lines: SMART PACK, HERE, SMART CARE.

Slitting & folding of caps

The functional importance of the tamper evident band makes the slitting machine an extremely important piece of machinery.
The possibility of changing the slitting configuration (number of bridges, thickness of bridges, etc..) has an impact on flexibility and on bridges breaking force, thus fulfilling end users requirements.
“Flap” bands in plastic caps help during the capping phase and properly match with the bottle locking ring.
Such bands need a folding process to be performed after the making of the cap.
We provide machines both for scoring operation (SCM), folding operation (FLM) and also for both operation in a combined, cost-effective step (SFM).

Checking and inspecting the tamper-evident band

The PFMC (Pull Force Machine CVS-CUT) performs destructive checks on the cap tamper-evident band.

PFMC

Inspection et contrôle de la bande de garantie

PFMC effectue des tests destructifs sur des échantillons sélectionnés de bouchons.
L'essai de traction mesure :
• la force de rupture des pontets
• la force de rupture des rabats de la bande qui maintiennent le bouchon attaché à la bouteille

La machine enregistre les valeurs mesurées et fournit une série de statistiques. Elle peut fonctionner de manière autonome ou dans une ligne de production.
Le système de vision CVS-CUT, en option, inspecte la bande de garantie avant le test destructif. Il est équipé d'une caméra linéaire à haute résolution qui assure une résolution inférieure à 0,01 mm.

Lining for plastic closures

In order to ensure proper sealing and retention of CO2 levels with highly carbonated beverages, we mould a PE/EVA liner into the cap’s shell. For that purpose we have developed two distinct and separate technologies, whose name is self-descriptive: in-shell molding and out-shell molding.

Caps assembling

Sacmi Velomat designs and manufactures machines for the assembly of caps and closures. Usually this is done in continuous kinematic, which is able to produce up to 1500 pieces per minute. Commonly two or three components are assembled on a single head which is equipped with vision systems for quality control. 

COLORA CAP - digital printing for plastic closures

COLORA CAP is system for digital cap printing, offering the widest range of decorating options to make the most of the communication potential.
The process developed enables to use high-definition digital images and import them into the printing system in just a few minutes, starting a new production batch without any format changeover costs.
