Lightweight closure solutions for beverages

Thanks to its expertise in technologies for the production of closures and preforms Sacmi lighter necks and closures that are both economically and ecologically more sustainable. are. The GME 30.40 neck standard for CSD closures enables manufacturers to Reduce plastic consumption (PET and HDPE) by at least a third compared to today's standard PCO 1881. For the customer, this means an immediate, tangible benefit.

The same solution can also be extended to water closures, resulting in logistical savings leads. If you stick with the traditional 29/25 mm and utilise the advantages of the lighter necks, the manufacturer can reduce the Material consumption by around 20 per cent (from 2.4 to 2 grams). The company also has tools to help manufacturers make the transition to the 26/22 mm standard, a global trend that is once again driven by the need to minimise environmental impact by saving on raw materials.

The Smart Pack developed by Sacmi has recently been integrated into the latest generation of CCM compression machines. By using sophisticated in-machine sensors that automatically control the process without the operator having to intervene, Smart Pack warns the operator if something is wrong, and thus prevents waste and errors.

For aluminium cap lining machines, Sacmi is driving the transition to PVC-free linings. From pilfer-proof roll-on closures to snap-on closures, SACMI's liner moulding technology ensures strength and sealing properties. With PMA, PVC-free liner moulding requires no oily substances or plasticisers, making the Risk of product contamination eliminated The complete aluminium screw cap line can achieve output rates of 2,500 pieces per minute.
