At CHINAPLAS 2026, SACMI will showcase a comprehensive technological cap manufacturing range focused on reducing virgin resin consumption, achieving tethered standards and raising production efficiency, in line with the latest developments on the global beverage market and the specificities of local demand.

SACMI will show its comprehensive cap manufacturing solutions at CHINAPLAS 2026.

SFM15M slitter-folder: Unmatched productivity and flexibility

At CHINAPLAS, SACMI will exhibit the SFM15M. This next-gen slitter-folder is designed to meet the needs of high-productivity lines and maximizes flexibility when managing the new tethered standards. Equipped with 15 spindles and able to deliver output rates as high as 3,000 caps per minute, the SFM15M aligns smoothly with the performance of the latest generation of SACMI presses.

The machine features low maintenance costs, long-term reliability and native integration of quality and process control systems (including the CVS154 vision system, Classy AI classification and SMART PACK functions).

These features ensure consistent product quality, improve machine and process management and let manufacturers respond quickly to market demand.

CCM 48SD: One-piece cap molding production with short cycle time

SACMI will also display the CCM 48SD – a compression molding machine able to produce up to 2,000 caps per minute with just 48 molds and a cycle time as short as 1.44 seconds. The CCM 48SD is one of the most competitive solutions for the production of one-piece caps for still water, CSD, hot filling and cold aseptic filling.

The machine at the fair will feature a COOL+ mold, suitable for AB26CSDT5 caps. This solution features inverter-controlled hydraulic pressure self-regulation, shorter cycle times, higher management flexibility and total process repeatability. The new mold design also allows for even faster format changeovers.

Vision systems: “Made in China” CHS21

SACMI develops a wide range of vision and process control systems for every single stage of the cap and preform production line.

Their high added value stems from ability to guarantee high-speed in-line control, consistent product quality and continuous monitoring of process parameters, resulting in more efficient, reliable and stable production lines.

One such solution is the CHS21, the cap vision system manufactured and assembled by SACMI directly in China. The latter confirms the Group's commitment to developing targeted solutions that promptly meet the needs of the Chinese market by combining close customer support, technological expertise and SACMI's ultra-high standards of quality and reliability.

Lightweight caps, high performance, customization

Through its Rigid Packaging Lab, SACMI provides comprehensive product development services: outstanding solutions designed to match the production model, market characteristics and customer performance goals.

One of the key trends on caps is to combine weight reduction, high performance and high speed. This is where the AB30W1 30/25 cap comes in: designed to deliver an optimal balance of performance, output rates and weight reduction.

Remaining in the water segment, SACMI also offers the S29W28 in the 29/25 format, a ‘high profile’ cap that meets specific product positioning and ergonomic requirements while retaining excellent reliability and quality.

The market has also responded positively to the A38CAF54 38 mm for two-piece caps, demonstrating SACMI's ability to develop tailor-made solutions of tamper band, thread and sealing systems. This approach optimizes performance and capping according to the specific applications required.

On the sustainability front, China is increasingly interested in tethered caps, a product for which SACMI has the widest range on the market - including the new advanced THCO patterns – and unrivalled expertise to accompany the transition effectively and profitably.
