New Generation SBO CompactTM Linear Blowing Machine

Sidel presented its next-generation linear blow moulding machine SBO CompactTM at Drinktec2005. The SBO CompactTM Blow Molding Machine has a designed output rate of less than 7000 bph. It is a new generation of entry-level products for the SBO CompactTM Plastic Series. It is also the first linear blower independently developed and produced by Sidel.

The SBO CompactTM series has a linear structure with 2 to 4 cavities to meet market demand for small, cost-effective equipment. Compared with the high-output rotary equipment, the components of the linear structure are more simplified and the body is more compact. SBO CompactTM is the same as other Sidel SBO devices. The main control part adopts a pure mechanical design to ensure the performance and reliability of the equipment. The forward transmission under the bottleneck is a major innovation for linear devices. The use of the device avoids contact with preform bottles and ensures higher packaging quality. The SBO CompactTM achieves the performance level of the Superior Plastics series, with an overall machine utilization rate of 95% and a single mold productivity of 1600 bottles/hour. It can meet the high quality standards of Sidel bottles, and its reject rate is less than 0.2%. The blowing machine can be connected with a small filling machine, mainly for the carbonated beverage and non-inflatable liquid food market.

SBO CompactTM also includes some of the features of the latest generation of excellent plastic bottle blowing machines. For example, the heating and blowing modules are carefully designed to achieve the most stringent technical requirements even at high output rates. In addition to the enhanced performance, the device also reduces energy consumption as well as the Superior Plastics line, resulting in significant economic benefits.
