for the moulding of plastic closures

The Compression moulding is already a well known technology worldwide. More than 65% of the caps for soft drinks are producedthrough compression. SACMI, world leader withincompression moulding machine production and confident of all the accomplishments succeededso far, has even more widenup and consolidated the rangeof machines to show itsCustomers. No doubts on the advantagesoffered within the compressionin terms of lower productioncosts and product better quality.

Feedback quality controlThe process quality controlis easy and automatic. A vision system can be installed to detect any defective part, reject it and if necessary bypass the corresponding cavity withouthaving to stop production.

Energy savingsThe process occurs at alower temperature: lowerenergy requirement to heat up plastics, and consequently, lower coolingenergy requirement. The total used energy is reduced to approximately50%.

Quick colour changeoverBecause there is no need fora hot runner, the changeoveris fast and thus reduces rawmaterial waste. Tools can be replaced quicklyand very easily.

VersatilityA highly versatile machinewith simple dies and a quickand low-cost procedure for cost-effective size changeovers.

Quick and easy maintenanceMaintenance can be carriedout during production, thusincreasing overall productionefficiency.

The lower rate of the mouldcompared to the press allowslower profile investment for potential future mouldchange.

Great repeatabilityThe compression process is characterised by a smalleramount of unknown factorswhich helps getting more consistent results: the deviation from the requiredquality standards is verysmall, which guarantees a consistent product repeatability.

Plastic Caps performing bands of “tab” type or “corrugated” need a foldingprocess of the same, after themoulding in order to allow aproper capping. This is a very important operation to be immediatelycarried out after the achievement of the cap.SACMI advances - in thisrespect - two machines for different production capacity,satisfying whatever needs.

SCORINGScoring of plastic closures tamper evident band

The functional importance of the tamper evident bandmakes the scoring machine, an extremely important pieceof machinery. The band needs to be slit withextreme precision as well as atseriously high speed, keepinganyhow a great versatility. Two are the ranges of BTVmachines and SCM machinesavailable, which by means of different solutions - cansatisfy all demands of plasticcaps slitting processes.

FEATURES• Customised solutions• Warm up blades for better

quality• High production skills• Flexibility on slitting settings• High scoring precision• Extreme accurate and

The need of reducing plantspaces has motivated the concept of a new series of machines which are meantto be combined for the foldingand scoring processes of the tamper evident band. The above machines - whentechnologically allowed - perform the two operationssimultaneously within one single step, obviously cost-effective, as well as forseizing, avoiding to employside-machines for the capstransfer.

To ensure a high carbonationdegree of the soft drink, weproduce PP caps by insertinga polyethylene basis linerthrough. The liner - softer than the cap - better stick to the bottlefinish, sealing the drink insidethe bottle. In this respect, SACMI hasdeveloped two different technologies: in-shell mouldingand out-shell moulding.

1: The plastic pellet is applied inside the cap

2: The plastic pellet is moulded , a gasket is obtained

3: The quality of the gasket is checked through a vacuum system
