From comprehensive product development support to the full range of CCM and IPS technologies: setting new standards for efficiency, quality control and operational simplicity. SACMI will be in Abidjan from 8th to 10th October 2026 as part of the ICE collective
SACMI will soon be heading to PlastPrintPack Agrofood Abidjan 2026 - from 8th to 10th October at the Parc des Expositions, Abidjan, Ivory Coast - to showcase a comprehensive Rigid Packaging range that covers product development and optimization, cap and preform production technologies, and local customer support services.
Comprehensive product development consultancy
The SACMI approach starts with the product. Via the expertise of the SACMI Rigid Packaging Lab, customers can rely on steady support and consultancy from the early product development stage. The result? Customized solutions to optimize closures, necks and preforms, from initial design to industrial validation.
Cohesive work on the cap-neck-preform system generates improvements in raw material consumption, packaging performance and the customer experience - including compliance with new short-neck and tethered-ready standards. Moreover, SACMI know-how extends beyond the products to encompass the full range of technologies used to manufacture them, ensuring customers get the solution that best matches their specific manufacturing and market requirements.
CCM + IPS: a complete range for every need
From ultra-compact systems to high-volume production platforms, SACMI provides a comprehensive range of CCM (Continuous Compression Molding) presses for caps and IPS (Injection Preform System) machines for PET preforms.
Recently upgraded to deliver market-leading productivity, the entire range delivers ever-simpler management and operation.
This is exemplified by the CCM48SF: featuring the latest generation of COOL+® molds, it delivers cycle times as low as 1.2 seconds for flat-top closures, enhances performance and boosts both efficiency and ease of management.
On the preform front, the ‘smart’ IPS240 was specifically developed to meet the needs of the African market and is now available in configurations with up to 96 cavities. Like the higher-tonnage IPS solutions, it incorporates the PVS process control system and Cool+® technology in the mold, driving down cycle times while lifting product quality.
Merging CCM and IPS technologies also addresses the needs of bottlers who opt for in-house cap and preform production: a comprehensive solution that scales as production volumes vary.
Performance, process control, user-friendliness
All latest-generation SACMI machines - from ultra-compact set-ups to high-capacity presses - are designed to combine productivity, quality, reliability and ease of use. Moreover, SMARTPACK™ digital controls are available on all platforms. These enable automatic monitoring and control of key process parameters, providing workers with close support and minimizing production variability.
Additionally, SMARTCARE™ executes cloud-based machine performance monitoring, new in-line and off-line vision systems merge traditional vision technology and AI, and the SACMI Global Network provides far-reaching after-sales support. The outcome: the ability to maintain the highest levels of efficiency, plant availability and product quality over time.
