In its centennial year\, ACMA\, a Coesia Group company specialized in packaging solutions for fast-moving consumer goods\, will participate at ProSweets 2024 (from January 28th to 31st\, Hall 10.1 | Booth: G040 - H049)\, focusing on automation and susta inability\, fundamental pillars of the Group's strategy in the Food &\; Beverage\, Home &\; Personal Care\, and Cross Industry Automation sect ors.
\n\nGREENMATION is Coesia's response to the curre nt trend driven by consumer demands for reusable and recyclable packaging\ , as manufacturers face labor shortages and production cost increases. \"I n this complex situation\, Coesia believes that the answer to this profita bility-threatening challenge lies in supporting a revolution in production which is capable of combining the principles of automation and sustainabi lity in the industries of Food &\; Beverage\, Pharma &\; Personal Ca re\, and Cross Industry Automation\,\" says Alessandro Parimbelli\, Coesia Chief Executive Officer.
\n\nACMA will showcase three technological innovations at the fair: a robotic distribution system\, the CW 600 multi-style packer with the new prote cted double twist packaging\, and Material Gate\ , a testing unit for paper-based materials. The Cologne fair will also be the ideal stage to introduce the new \"ACMA CARES Programme\" service.
\n\nACMA has develope d three \"smart handling\" systems for Confectionery\, designed considerin g the type of chocolate pralines to be handled\, how they need to reach th e machine\, and the production line's speed. ProSweets will show a demo of a single-pick-up and multi-pick-up robotic distr ibution system for flat-based products\, capable of orienting and arranging chocolates in rows. The system is available in two configuratio ns and is aimed at picking up random products\, sorting them and finally f eeding them correctly oriented into the machine. It is a modular solution characterized by space-saving design\, thanks to features such as the inte gration of electrical components directly into the machine\, eliminating t he need for additional electrical cabinets.
\n\nThe CW 600 is the machine chosen by ACMA to represent the company's Confectionery portfolio at ProSweets. It is a unit for pack aging flat-based chocolates\, capable of working with various packaging ma terials\, including monomaterials such as aluminum\, PP\, PVC\, cellophane \, and paper. The machine can handle up to eight different packaging forma ts\, addressing market demands for product diversification and making it o ne of the most versatile platforms in the industry. The model on display i n Cologne will be configured to produce the new protected double twist pac kaging\, a particular style of double twist sealed with cold weldi ng. This design has two major advantages: firstly\, it be tter preserves the product's aroma\, and secondly\, it pr otects it from external factors such as water\, heat\, humidity\, dust\, and pests.
\n\nMaterial Gate will also be on display – a
ProSweets will also be an op portunity to present ACMA CARES\, a program designed to consistent ly support customers in improving productivity and reducing maintenance co sts for their installed base. Leveraging extensive field experien ce and a strong commitment from the research and development department\, ACMA can offer various solutions to extend the lifecycle of its machines\, innovate its models – expanding also equipment capabilities\, for examp le\, by adding new accessories – and keep updated the electronics of mod els that require alignment with new production needs\, a natural consequen ce of technological evolution. Key aspect of the program is alignment with the latest safety standards and a focus on sustainability\, promoting env ironmentally responsible solutions. Another important focus of ACMA CARES is to develop active synergies with customers\, forming partnerships to su pport technological progress\, a fundamental basis for the development of future machines.
