Tradition meets innovation and looks to the future

Tradition and innovation are two seemingly opposing concepts. Actually, as demonstrated by the history of SMI and of the clients discussed in this issue of SMI NOW, they are two forces that, when intertwined, generate value by transforming and improving industrial production.

Latteria Sociale Valtellina

In the dairy production sector, the Italian company Latteria Sociale Valtellina demonstrates that tradition and innovation are inextricably linked. With deep roots in the past and a constant eye on the future, this cooperative stands out for its excellent dairy products; products that respect and enhance ancient traditions, thanks also to ongoing investments in new technologies, such as the SMI EBS 4 K ERGON rotary stretch-blow moulder, chosen to produce the 0.5 L and 1 L PET bottles for milk and the 0.48 L PET bottles for kefir.

Pulmuone

In the bottled water sector, the South Korean company Pulmuone promotes the perfect harmony between man and nature; the motto "Love for others, respect for life" is what all the company's key decisions are based on, as demonstrated by the recent investment in a SK 500 F ERGON shrink wrapper to process the label-free "Oh My Green" bottles, an innovative and increasingly popular solution.

Conservas La Costeña

In the food industry, for Conservas La Costeña, an iconic brand of Mexican gastronomic tradition, innovation is essential to offering consumers the best products for preparing delicious dishes. In over 100 years of business, this leading industrial company has never stopped foreseeing the future, by focusing on technically cutting-edge solutions, such as the HEVF 15-4-B HC S series filling and capping monoblock supplied by ENOBERG to increase the production of vinegar in HDPE bottles.

SMIMEC

Also for SMIMEC, the SMI Group's mechanical workshop, the concepts of tradition and innovation mean embracing market challenges and integrating them into the company's DNA. This has been achieved with the recent upgrade of the machinery across all production lines in the milling and welding departments, as well as the CNC machining centers for medium/large-scale operations and mould making. This Industry 5.0 investment has placed environmental sustainability, operational efficiency, and energy savings at the forefront.

Efficiency and ergonomics with the new dual- infeed palletizer

The new automatic palletizing system APS 3085 ERGON, equipped with a 90° infeed module, is the ideal solution to efficiently manage the palletization of a wide range of products. This system is particularly advantageous for palletizing patterns with an odd number of infeeds, such as pattern 21 for 1.5 L bottles; the system is equipped with a double-infeed layer formation device that allows odd-numbered infeeds to be recovered, always operating with two rows of product.
