The new SK ERGON: when technology meets the ergonomic design

From processing to packing and packaging technologies, from ingredients to food safety and quality management up to logistics and handling: Anuga FoodTec trade show is much more than this. For SMI that is the opportunity to present the new ERGON series of primary and secondary packaging machines.

Ergonomics, technology, robustness, modularity, etc.. these are only some of the elements featuring the new ERGON series. The presentation of the SK 500 F ERGON in Cologne is just a taste of what the new range of machines will be, with the launch of which SMI wants to mark another important date in its history.

New line, new colour, new benefits matching the advanced technology content that since forever has been distinguishing SMI packers. Here are the main innovations of the ERGON line:

• New "rounded" design, which allows to house all motors in an outer position in respect to the mechanical groups they move, thus facilitating the line operator's access in case of maintenance interventions. 
• Door-closing system equipped with a slow-down hydraulic device that decelerates the safety doors sliding in the last leg of their ride and allows them to close smoothly.
• Stainless steel frame, the ideal solution to fulfill the food industry needs. 
• Absence of motoreducers: SMI packers are driven by brushless motors directly connected to the drive shafts, with the advantage of reducing energy consumption, noise and maintenance. 
• Heat-shrinking tunnel featuring advanced technical solutions that enable energy consumption reduction, maximum environmental compatibility and the improvement of the pack quality.
