SACMI, a global leader in the beverage and food packaging industry, is gearing up for ProPak Asia 2023, the largest packaging fair in Southeast Asia. The company will showcase innovative solutions aimed at reducing the weight of neck-cap systems and facilitating a successful transition to PVC-free aluminum caps.
Addressing the industry’s pressing need to conserve energy and raw materials while enhancing consumer experiences, SACMI will demonstrate its technological advancements at the event, taking place from June 14 to 17, 2023, at BITEC in Bangkok.
One of SACMI’s notable achievements is the development of lightweight necks and caps, setting new sustainability standards in terms of economic and environmental impact. Through comprehensive material characterization and close collaboration with major international brand owners, SACMI has created the GME 30.40 neck standard for carbonated soft drink (CSD) caps. This innovation enables manufacturers to reduce plastic consumption by at least one-third compared to the prevalent PCO 1881 standard, resulting in immediate and tangible benefits.
Moreover, SACMI offers solutions for water caps, allowing logistical savings, and supports the transition to the 26/22 mm standard to minimize environmental impact and save raw materials.
SACMI’s market leadership is further demonstrated through its CCM and IPS technologies. With these offerings, SACMI provides a complete package to guide manufacturers in their transition to sustainable packaging. The integration of IoT-driven Smart Pack technology enhances quality control, minimizing waste and errors by utilizing in-machine sensors and automated monitoring systems.
Additionally, SACMI leads the way in PVC-free liner application technology for aluminum caps, ensuring exceptional strength and sealing properties. The company’s solutions can be equipped with dedicated inspection systems for comprehensive quality assurance.
SACMI’s extensive presence in the region, with over 200 cap presses and dozens of IPS preform presses installed, allows the company to adapt its approach according to the specific needs of each country and customer while delivering excellent technical support and spare parts services through SACMI Thailand.
With its groundbreaking innovations and commitment to sustainability, SACMI is poised to revolutionize the beverage and food packaging industry, driving the market toward a greener and more competitive future.
