Linear blowing systems for Pet bottle production

Ideal for producers seeking versatile container solutions, this system enables high-speed, fully electric, servo-driven bottle production. Its efficiency in transitioning from standard to complex designs ensures it meets stringent production demands with quick installation and startup times.

The SFL Linear Stretch-Blow Molding System from SIPA offers a flexible and efficient solution for producing PET containers tailored to the needs of diverse industries, including food, beverage, and pharmaceuticals. Operated fully electrically and servo-driven, this system integrates seamlessly into production lines, excelling in high-speed, continuous operations. It provides a user-centric platform, reducing installation and start-up times significantly.

It features precise preform heating and transfer using a servo-driven pitch-change system that enhances heating efficiency while ensuring gentle preform handling. With capabilities to accommodate preform feeding, heating, stretching-blowing, and bottles ejection processes, the system covers a wide array of end products—from mineral water and carbonated beverages to shampoos and pharmaceuticals.

The SFL’s design reduces total cost of ownership through energy-efficient operations, maintaining high output rates of up to 2,000 bottles per hour per cavity. Available with various cavity configurations from 2 to 8, the machine supports quick changeovers, crucial for operations requiring frequent product switches. The use of durable composite techno-polymers and self-lubricating components ensures minimum wear and low maintenance.

It is capable of producing containers requiring unique material specifications like lightweight, heat set, and pasteurizable options, providing solutions for a variety of filling environments, including ultra-clean and high-pressure processing. For manufacturers seeking robust production capacities and operational efficiency, SIPA’s SFL system promises customizable configurations and engineering support to meet specific production goals.
