SMI SPA

SMI is specialized in the design, manufacturing and installation of complete bottling lines and packaging systems for flat and carbonated beverages and liquid products in PET, rPET and PP containers from 0.10 to 10 L, with output capacity up to 50,000 bottles/hour (according to machine models and type of container).

Every line engineering solution proposed by SMI is the outcome of a preliminary study of the bottling & packaging project, during which accurate analysis of product accumulation, distribution and conveyance dynamics are carried out in order to ensure a smooth and constant production flow and the maximum operational flexibility of the machines installed.

An advanced automation and control system compliant with Industry 4.0 technology and sophisticated sensors distribuited all along the bottling line (IoT architecture) enable to achieve high machine yields in all of the steps of the manufacturing process; furthermore, highly-automated equipment allow optimising the employment of raw materials, work force and energy resources thus improving the environmental and social compatibility of the solutions proposed.

SMI provides a wide range of automatic high-performance packaging machines for the secondary packaging industry able to meet every production need.

LSK ERGON, CSK ERGON AND SK ERGON series represent the best shrink film packaging technology currently available, for packing a wide range of PET containers and other types of plastic, glass, aluminium and cardboard in film-only (F version), flat cardboard pad + film (P version) or corrugated cardboard trays + film (T version) packs. The available models ensure the automation of the secondary packaging process in production facilities from 30 up to 450 packs/minute (the latter figure refers to film-only on three lanes).

The range mentioned above also includes the ASW series of compact shrink wrappers for shrink film packing with a 90º infeed, particularly suitable for packing containers or bundles with a square/rectangular base.

SMI provides a wide range of wrap-around of the LWP ERGON, CWP ERGON and WP ERGON series and combined machines of the LCM ERGON and CM ERGON series in order to pack a wide range of PET, glass, aluminium and cardboard containers in wrap-around case or tray only ( LWP, CWP and WP series), or in wrap-around cardboard cases, tray only or tray + film (LCM and CM series). The available models ensure the automation of the secondary packaging process in production plants from 30 up to 80 packs/minute (according to the series and the capacity of the container to pack).

The range mentioned above also includes the wrap-around of the ACW series and the combined machines of the AFCW series with 90º infeed.

The MP ERGON SMI case packers represent the best packaging technology currently available to pack in cardboard sleeves a wide range of PET, glass, aluminium and brik containers, realizing the so-called “cluster pack” at the maxium speed of 300 packs/minute (according to the model of the machine and the shape and dimensions of the container to pack).

The new machines of the MP ERGON range are equipped with advanced technologies in order to ensure more operational flexibility, energy efficiency, eco-friendliness, management and monitoring simplicity within high speed production lines.

The range of MP ERGON packers also includes some models (MP BK series) specifically designed for packing brik containers.
