Sacmi Advanced Solutions at Ceramitec 2018

From 10 to 13 April Sacmi will be present at Ceramitec (Munich) to exhibit its wide range of proposals for the production of powder metal items, refractories, technical ceramics, sanitaryware, tableware and tiles.

On a 700-m2 stand, the SACMI Powder Metal Division will be displaying an upgraded version of its fully automatic hydraulic press MPH200, which grants low energy consumption. Visitors will also see the MPH800, MPH080 and MPH120 presses and a new solution for helical gears. Great attention will be given to Industry 4.0 solutions such as predictive maintenance, process optimization, tracking and measurement, all elements grouped under the umbrella of H.E.R.E., the SACMI software suite that allows equipment, department and complete plant monitoring and management.

For visitors from the tableware industry, SACMI will also display the new DHD 708-8, a digital decoration machine for tableware, complete with a plate inspection system to guarantee maximum print quality. Sacmi continues to develop solutions for decorating both fired and unfired plates, and samples of products made using different techniques will also be on show.

Moreover, for the flat-extruded ceramic industry, SACMI will present the latest opportunities for the manufacture, laying and handling of extruded products.

Ceramitec will also see an important presence of the German companies of Sacmi Group.

Sama Maschinenbau, the leading provider of machines and complete plants to the tableware and technical ceramic industries, will show a wide range of extrusion-type solutions for insulators and honeycombs, plastic shaping units, isostatic pressing (i.e. the PHO 700 press), high pressure casting, machines for surface grinding, polishing and glazing plus factory automation solutions. Recently, Sama created its new Research, Innovation and Training centre (“FIT Forschungs-, Innovations- und Training-Zentrum”), which will be visited during a special Open Day: many machines will be in operation, such as the new HCM 050 pressure casting line for the automatic casting of handles.

Laeis will present the HPF V 1000 high-performance press for the production of shaped refractory products and various other applications. Some highlights of the HPF V series are the new control panel with optimized, user-friendly and intuitive operation and an electronic and hydraulic system, which guarantees higher press speed and reduced energy cost per ton of pressed material.

Finally, Riedhammer will present its latest innovations in the field thermal processes, aimed at high product quality, efficiency and energy-saving.

A broad range of topics related to technical ceramics will be covered at the special TEAM Day, the international technical symposium organised by TEAM by Sacmi (Technology and Experience for Advanced Ceramics) in Munich on 9^th April.
