BESPOKE SOLUTIONS FOR EVERY NEEDAn accurate design of a complete bottling line, an appropriate sizing of machines and equipment and a smooth running of the whole system are essential factors enabling the manufacturers of the food & beverage sector (water, soft drinks, edible oil, milk, etc.) to produce efficiently, to cut production costs and to achieve a good competitive edge on the markets they are focusing on. The design of turn-key systems is carried out by SMI by taking into consideration the most sophisticated and modern parameters in terms of machine size reduction, integration of machines or functions into multi-tasking units, ease of use, energy saving and running and maintenance cost reduction.Moreover, customers can count on a widespread and efficient after-sales service, that takes care worldwide of the setting in motion and the maintenance of SMI complete lines. OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY Environmental considerations have never been as relevant as they are today, especially in the packaging industry. Good manufacturers are aware of the packaging carbon footprint and for this reason are constantly looking at sustainable packaging solutions, that do not get lost in the environment, but are instead recycled. SMI has constantly been investing in R&D in order to test innovative packaging materials, capable of combining functionality and sustainability, and above all to develop cutting-edge solutions for processing them. Some examples are represented by rPET (the preforms made of this material are processed by SMI stretch-blow moulders and integrated blowing-filling and capping systems), ARCWISE® cardboard (worked by SMI WP and MP packers) and 100 % recycled film (processed by SMI shrink wrappers).
