Everything for Chocolate and Packaging for Everything
Sustainability, performance, new technologies: that’s what SACMI Packaging & Chocolate is bringing to Interpack 2023 (Düsseldorf, 4-10 May, Hall 4 Stand E05) with its integrated technologies for the preparation and moulding of chocolate, traditional wrapping, flowpack and secondary packaging
Chocolate processing and moulding
SACMI Packaging & Chocolate presents the HFT 518, the new five cylinder refiner designed to guarantee optimal grinding results and fine particle sizing, even on products that differ in consistency from traditional ones and two machines from the latest version of the Nano Chocoline: the new 2-cylinder HCP 203 pre refiner and the 5-cylinder HFI 509 refiner, able to reproduce – on a smaller scale – a high-quality chocolate processing line.
In the chocolate molding section, Cavemil Super 860 offer outstanding productivity and modern, practical functional design, ideal for the production of solid pralines, bars and tablets, with or without ingredients, or filled with cream.
A new line that doses chocolate and compound-based semi-finished items in drop, chip, stick and chunk form makes its debut too: at Interpack, the heart of the system, the MLRG 1500 rotary dosing machine.
Chocolate packaging
Presented at the end of 2022, HTB is the new wrapping machine for chocolate tablets and bars with an all-electronic approach that, for the very first time, replaces a purely mechanical design.
HTB combines the best wrapping quality with the highest speed on the market: up to 250 tablets per minute, without any damage to the wrapping and/or processed product.
Moreover, HTB is at the forefront of sustainability and energy recovery: it lets users retrieve energy in a circular manner, ensuring attainment and maintenance of maximum energy efficiency/optimization.
In the HY7, a “hybrid” multi-style (e.g. Top, Side & Double Twist, Bunch, Wallet & Envelope) wrapper of flatbased pralines, machine operation is not based just on mechanical transmission but on high-performance, energy-efficient servo drives. Extremely user-friendly, the HY7 can achieve output rates of 700 pieces per minute and it is designed to aid the transition towards a new generation of eco-sustainable wrapping materials.
Already a big market hit thanks to its unique compactness, efficiency and versatility, JT Advance is the topof-the-range flowpack machine for chocolate/cereal bar, snack and praline lines requiring high productivity (up to 150 meters of film, 1300 products per minute).
Simplified maintenance, easy access to the machine and extremely short changeover times streamline JT Advance operation enormously. Reel replacement can also be carried out during production, without reducing machine speed. At Interpack 2023, JT Advance will be integrated with the Advance S-334, a next-gen secondary packaging unit, which ensures high output rates (up to 800 products per minute, 150 boxes sealed).
Moreover, the multi-function picking robot provides impressively ergonomic blank loading. With the innovative linear motor system, the box form-fill-seal stages are independent, maximizing line efficiency and versatility, especially in the case of frequent changeovers.
Packaging – other industries
A Pick & Place loading cell equipped with Fast Picker robots and an innovative vision system that allows greater inspection efficiency and product pick accuracy even for delicate or irregular bakery products.
The products are then passed to the HPS 50 horizontal flowpack wrapper, a medium-speed solution.
The new TF22 TS (Top seal), tray forming machine for produce which aims to meet the need for protective, tamper-evident packaging. TF22 Top Seal also lets manufacturers form cardboard trays for special sizes usually made of plastic.
The VPS 40, a vertical continuous packaging machine designed to deliver high-speed, flexible production for the food and non-food industries.
