SIPA-Berchi Light Weight PET Bottles for Edible Oil

The containers are also required to be visually appealing and highly functional, transporting the valuable contents without damage or product leakage.

2/4/2011 --- SIPA Berchi of Veneto, Italy, a global leader of Stretch Blow Moulding Machines for the production of PET bottles, have successfully installed a SIPA SincroBloc system for the Cargill Company in Spain, a world leader in the production and packaging of edible oils. The machine will create light weight PET bottles for their popular brands of oil products such as Primadonna.

The use of extremely lightweight containers is a major focal point for the edible oil market, as the containers compensate for the product’s intrinsic weight while simultaneously maintaining a competitive price point for the end consumer. The containers are also required to be visually appealing and highly functional, transporting the valuable contents without damage or product leakage.

The SIPA SincroBloc system is a compact integrated blowing / filling / capping system. The SFR Evo Blowmoulder series has a production speed of up to 2,200 bottles / cavity / hour. The blowmoulder and filling machine are electronically synchronized and connected together with a bottle transfer unit. Bottles are positively transferred via a star-wheel module, allowing for the smooth transfer of any type of bottle.

The SIPA SincroBloc solution is among the only in the world that allows its own rotary blowmoulders to be synchronized with other manufacturers’ filling machines. This was a key factor is Cargill’s purchase decision, along with the superior quality and high production speeds of the SIPA machinery. In the case of Cargill’s, the SIPA SFR Evo Blowmoulder was connected to a third party weight filling machine.
