Sidel launches SBO Plastic Line Blow Molding Machine

From the 12th to the 17th of this year at Drinktec at the New International Exhibition Centre in Munich, Germany, Sidel introduced a new generation of blower SBO CompactTM. The SBO CompactTM Blow Molding Machine has a design output rate of less than 7000 bph. It is a new generation of entry-level products for the SBO CompactTM Plastic Series and also the first linear blower independently developed and manufactured by Sidel.

SBO CompactTM is manufactured at Sidel's facility in Malaysia. The low-speed SBO CompactTM series adopts 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.

Based on the linear structure, the key function of the device is an independent, easy-to-remove modular design, which is easy to maintain. At the same time, the blowing unit is located directly in front of the fuselage. These configurations all make the device highly flexible. Like other superior plastic series devices, the CompactTM has a quick-change Universal ShellTM mold and most of the custom parts are interoperable.

The SBO CompactTM achieves the performance level of the Superior Plastics line, 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.
