The Group’s showcase focuses on an integrated approach that combines material expertise with automated quality control across the rigid packaging and confectionery sectors.
Technological advances in new materials remain central to the Sacmi offering. The company highlights its new line for cellulose fibre caps, which utilises dry moulding technology to produce caps with high mechanical properties and short cycle times. This technology is currently targeted at the production of caps and single-dose capsules, such as coffee pods.
Alongside cellulose, the Sacmi PureCap project aims to establish a circular supply chain for food-grade recycled HDPE (rHDPE). Following the introduction of tethered standards in Europe, the project focuses on a “cap-to-cap” recycling loop, supported by functional testing at the Sacmi Rigid Packaging Lab.
Additionally, the company will showcase its CCMM and multi-layer applications, which enable sophisticated material architectures and the introduction of low-impact alternative materials into the production process.
Sacmi highlights its portfolio of tethered solutions developed according to the latest cap-neck standards. While mandatory in Europe, these solutions are gaining traction globally due to their reduced environmental impact.
The range includes post-processing slitting options to streamline the transition from traditional closures. New developments in the sector also include premium PET caps produced with a dedicated CCM.
Velomat, a Sacmi Group company specialising in automatic assembly, will showcase high-speed systems for caps, micro-pumps, and medical-pharmaceutical packaging.
In the field of vision systems, the company will introduce the PVS Robot, an automated off-line preform inspection system. An evolution of the PVS002, the system integrates a Scara robot for handling and a fully automated format magazine, allowing for the inspection of preforms from different presses without manual changeovers.
The system can inspect up to 1,200 pieces per hour and features modular architecture with integrated weighing and 3D sensors for bin picking.
Expanding its quality control expertise into the confectionery sector, Sacmi will demonstrate a new chocolate cremino wrapping inspection system. This application is part of an integrated end-of-line wrapping solution showcased in synergy with the Packaging and Chocolate range.
The group’s presence at Interpack confirms its role as a technology partner providing end-to-end support from product design to complete automation. Sacmi’s global network continues to assist manufacturers in transitioning to high-quality, sustainable packaging formats.
