Renownedall over the globe, SACMI horizontal packagers now come with an incorporated patented automatic sleeve application systemthat can also be used with multi-pack configurations.
The SACMI FFS rangeis set to play a leading role at Anuga Food Tec 2018 (hall 8.1 A-040/B-049), Europe’s biggest dairy packaging fair to be held in Cologne from 20 to 23 March. Developed by SACMI, with over 50 years’ experience in the industry, form-fill-seal horizontal packagers for the food industry come in a wide range of configurations. Available in aseptic and non-aseptic versions, their output ratesspan from 6,000 to 100,000 container an hour and cover sizes from 10 to 250ml.
More specifically, the German fair – attended by over 50,000 visitors from 140 countries – will also see Sacmi exhibit the “smart” version of the solution, a horizontal 6,000 cph packager. The versionat the fair will be equipped to manufacture a standard 200 ml container of a typical Indian dairy product, the “Lassi” yoghurt drink.
Note also that the packager has been combined with the patented Sacmi ISA (Integrated Sleeve Applicator) system which applies heat-shrink labels. Thanks to a latest-generation optical recognition device, this solution can also perform decoration of multi-packs, made from a single specially printed reel of material. This system, which SACMI has integrated into the packager without in any way altering its efficiency, offers out standing versatility and gloss printing with up to 8 colours.
The “smart” version of the FFS is part of a wide range of packaging solutions that Sacmi produces in three versions, hygienic, ultra-hygienic (ESL – estende shelf life) and aseptic. Beingable to provide packagers with the Sacmi shrink sleeve application device in multi-pack configurations gives the final product added value, rewarding producers with new marketing and brand enhancement opportunities and allowing the development of new product lines at competitive cost.
