Filling
ZACMI’s filling machines are designed to deliver precision, efficiency, and versatility:
• Piston Fillers: Perfect for accurately dosing liquid and viscous products, with or without suspended solids, ensuring uniform distribution and the total absence of dripping, thanks to a patented dosage system.
• Vacuum Fillers: Airtight filling preserves product quality and freshness, ideal for topping up containers pre-filled with solid products or for completely filling containers with thick products.
• Telescopic Fillers: Suited for rapid and precise filling of bottles, cans, and other containers, these fillers minimise waste while maximising efficiency. Their specialised design and instrumentation achieve the highest standards of filling accuracy.
• Monoblocks: Compact systems integrating rinsing, filling, and closing, optimising space and enhancing productivity.
Seamers
In 2024, ZACMI introduced a new seaming machine designed to improve industry standards. With a compact design, simplified maintenance, and reduced operational costs, this innovative seamer enhances flexibility and efficiency while maintaining ZACMI’s hallmark of robust performance.
Its modular design minimises downtime, simplifies spare part management, and ensures faster maintenance—setting a new benchmark in seaming technology.
Other standout models include:
• Clean Design Seamers: Fully washable systems that meet stringent hygiene standards, reduce handling costs, and facilitate maintenance.
• Vacuum Seamers: Advanced solutions that prevent contamination, preserve product integrity, and extend shelf life.
Additionally, ZACMI seamers offer flexible configurations to adapt to specific customer requirements, ensuring high-quality productivity.
Synchronised Group Technology
One of ZACMI’s flagship solutions is the Synchronised Group, which combines a piston filler with a patented vertical valve and a high-performance seamer. Together, these machines operate in perfect harmony, achieving production speeds of up to 1,200 cycles per minute for the filler and 1,600 cycles per minute for the seamer. This system offers exceptional versatility, waste minimisation, and ease of maintenance, making it a standout solution for high-volume operations.
