SA-M

AUTOMATIC MEDICAL POUCH-MAKING MACHINE

The SA-M machines are designed and engineered to make high tech pre-made pouches, bags and flat rolls, for the medical and pharmaceutical market. SA-M machine is more flexible, technologically advanced with an ease of use concept, and capable of producing a wide range of high quality pouches.


Fully-equipped with Siemens components, the SA-M is entirely controlled by a state-of-the-art HMI based on Profinet®, one of the most advanced communication protocols. It controls independently and in real time each one of all installed stations/tools and, consequently, the whole production process.

As each station is independent, servo-driven and plug and play, we engineered the SA-M to be customized according to different production needs, granting the capability to be upgraded later on, without changing the existing structure.

Always focused on our customers' needs and knowing that energy costs are expensive variables for each manufacturer, we engineered the SA-M with dedicated components that allow recovery of kinetic energy to save energy costs.

In addition, the above-indicated technology and an innovative graphic interface allow SA-M to present different production cycles and a wide range of accessories dedicated to the process control:

  • -Vision system
  • -Fully customizable data-collecting systems
  • -Automatic stations and tool-positioning systems

SA-M uses high quality components, manufactured by our two sister companies, combined with continuous research focused on the final user.

This allows a significant reduction in set-up time, start-up time, maintenance time and payback period. All SA-M machines can run with Medical grade paper, Tyvek®, PET/PE, PA/PE, PE/PE, ALU or coextruded materials both printed or unprinted, granting high performances and high reliable seal. A wide range of options is available to meet any customer's needs and to offer tailor-made solutions
