#1 SACMI IPS 300: a technological challenge
SACMI, the world’s leading partner for the manufacture of caps using compression technology, first developed the IPS in 2012. Since then it has, in less than 10 years, installed 140 systems in 10 countries.
The IPS (Injection Preform System), a platform designed to be the best in the industry, completes the SACMI range for existing markets-customers and offers great opportunities for new ones.
A versatile platform that offers unmatched practicality, performance and ease of use
Ambitious and farsighted, the IPS project has seen both an expansion of the range (the IPS 220 with up to 72 cavities, the IPS 400 with up to 128 cavities) and developments in terms of the technological equipment, designed to innovate the process while streamlining the customer's investment.
Reliability and user-friendliness are the hallmarks of the IPS 220, the first solution to be launched on the market. It was specifically designed to meet the needs of bottlers. Three years later came the IPS 400, intended for the world’s converters, many of whom are already valued SACMI partners through their use of cap lines.
Up to 96 cavities for 30 mm necks (or 128 for 26 mm)
As on the IPS 400, the new IPS 300 features outstanding compatibility with various mold types, including those produced by third parties. This is for a dual reason: first, to help markets respond to demand and, second, to take into account the simple fact that a well-maintained preform mold can actually outlast the machine on which it’s mounted.
The IPS300 is compatible with all molds that have external compressed air and coolant connections. The machine can operate with 24-cavity molds for 48 mm necks and molds with up to 96 cavities for 30 mm necks.
Furthermore, by making use of the ‘Nano-pitch’ patent of partner company MHT, the IPS300 can mount up to 128 cavities for 26/22 mm necks, a truly unique solution within the panorama of currently available technologies.
