The highest-performance, most productive press ever: up to 2,850 caps per minute with 64 molds. Natively digital and sustainable, the CCM64MD further reduces consumption and incorporates state-of-the-art SACMI process control systems
SACMI presents the CCM64MD, its most productive cap compression press to date. With its 64-cavity configuration, the CCM64MD achieves output rates as high as 2,850 caps per minute (or 171,000 caps per hour), boosting productivity by 50% compared to previous models.
A winning press-mold combination
The first of a new generation of machines, the CCM64MD combines productivity, energy efficiency and user-friendliness.
Its development was driven by SACMI's cross-sector machine and mold expertise. The solution integrates SACMI Cool+® molds, optimized to bring out the full potential of the machine's performance, and has a cycle time of just 1.35 seconds: unmatched speed that improves on the previous record, also set by SACMI.
In addition to greater productivity, the machine-mold combination translates into consistent quality and reliability, reducing operating costs.
+50% productivity, same footprint
Offering 50% higher productivity while still occupying the same floorspace, the CCM64MD is designed to keep pace with the ultra-high output capacity of bottling lines: this means a single machine (171,000 caps per hour) can feed up to 2 high-capacity lines (80,000 bottles per hour), providing a timely response to market demand for huge volumes.
Simple, natively digital management
One of the distinctive features of the CCM64MD is that it delivers unrivalled performance without making management any more complex. The press introduces no new process variables, maintains the same operator interface and shares the same process logic as the previous CCM64M generation.
What has increased, though, is the precision of process control: this further advantage stems from the new SmartPack 2.0 release, a cutting-edge hardware/software kit that proactively monitors all key process parameters such as extrusion, pellet insertion in the cavity, mold control and thermoregulation.
The result: maximized Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), greater line availability and a drastic reduction in the need to intervene on either the machine or the process.
15% less consumption
On the consumption front, the CCM64MD sets a new industry standard. Output remaining equal, specific consumption is 15% lower compared to the previous generation of machines, settling at 0.43 kWh per kilogram of HDPE processed. Environmental impact has also been softened, with each installed press saving approximately 8 tons of CO₂ equivalents per year, thus making a substantial contribution to the industry’s sustainability goals.
Integrated CVS systems for process control
Like all SACMI presses, the CCM64MD incorporates CVS vision systems, developed and produced in-house. These let manufacturers prevent non-conformities by interpreting the huge amounts of data harvested during optical checks.
SACMI CVS improves manufacturing immensely by shifting product quality control towards process quality control.
