ZACMI and Red Gold: A Partnership That Strengthens Excellence in Food Processing

Over 30 years have passed since ZACMI initiated a strategic partnership with Red Gold, a historic American company with a global presence, specialising in the production of tomato-based products.
Today, this partnership takes shape with the installation of advanced machinery at the Elwood, Indiana, facility, designed to meet specific production needs.
This long-standing relationship, built on decades of trust and innovation, exemplifies ZACMI’s ability to deliver bespoke solutions for the food industry.

Innovation and Precision: Our Technologies Serving Red Gold

ZACMI Telescopic Filler

The telescopic filler by ZACMI, installed at Red Gold’s facility, is engineered to fill dense and semi-dense products with utmost precision. This machine can handle containers of various formats, ensuring exceptional production flexibility.
Key features include:

• Patented telescopic system: Allows automatic adjustments for variable volumes without the need for component changes.
• Ease of cleaning: Designed with stainless steel and a hygienic build that complies with the strictest sanitary regulations.
• No Can – No Fill system: Ensures product filling only when a container is present.

ZACMI External Valve Vacuum Filler

Alongside the telescopic filler, Red Gold also utilises our external valve vacuum filler, a technology designed to preserve product quality by removing air from containers. This is ideal for topping up pre-filled containers with solid products or for completely filling containers with dense products.
Main benefits include:

• Production capacity: High performance, even on intensive production lines.
• Innovative external valve: Minimises contamination risk, ensuring product integrity and extended shelf life.
• No Can – No Fill system: Ensures product filling only when a container is present.
