ZACMI is a designer, fabricator and installer of tailor-made filling, closing, seaming and processing lines for the international food and beverage industry. The company supplies a comprehensive range of filling & closing solutions, for both glass and plastic containers, to leading multi-national companies, setting the pace with its customer-, technology- and service-led approach.
Its Piston Filler is used to fill highly viscous products and sauces with or without large inclusions. Although a common machine type, ZACMI has developed a patented Vertical Valve Piston Filler, which offers exceptionally high filling accuracy, making it suitable for a huge range of products.
Its seaming system – controlled by a desmodromic cam – is available in 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 multi-head configurations, delivering a maximum output of 1,600 cans per minute. The company’s Double Seam Monitoring (DSM) solution checks the cans’ seaming performance in real time using special sensors. Its output can also be used for machine-settings regulation, ultimately helping to extend the service life of chucks and rolls.
ZACMI offers comprehensive global support too, comprising either technician access or remote interactions backed by its Parma-based support team, which can travel to where local on-site support is unavailable or additional support is required. The support team can help with installation, training spares and upgrades, too. Thanks to advanced automation hardware and on-machine digitalization, ZACMI offers its Remote Access Service (RAS) programme.
Using a secure communication network, engineers from ZACMI can connect to machines – anywhere in the world – to deliver a range of value-added services, including monitoring and troubleshooting; startup & process streamlining; uptime optimization; and software patching, updating & enhancement.
The programme also offers Augmented Reality (AR) capabilities. Using a smartphone, tablet or smart glasses, end users can interact virtually with ZACMI’s support team in real time or via photo and video messages.
