Montgomery Waters invests in second Sidel Matrix line
UK-based Montgomery Waters has acquired an additional complete PET line from Sidel. The line is bottling still and sparkling water with the latest generation of Sidel Matrix equipment. The company from Wales has several spring and mineral water sources dedicated to the supply of still, sparkling, flavoured and vitamin-enriched water under its Aquaroma, Celtic Spring and Aquavit brands, along with an operation bottling brands for other manufacturers. Among Montgomery Waters’ customers in the competitive €2bn UK bottled water market are several leading nationwide retailers, sports club chains and hotels.
"In 2012 we moved to in-house blowing and updated our labelling by upgrading our existing high speed line, increasing production capacity by 50%, with a Matrix Combi, labeller and conveyors from Sidel. Now increased demand from both consumers and our customers meant we needed to invest in an additional line", commented Paul Delves, Managing Director of Montgomery Waters.
The additional line includes the the compact blow-fill-cap Combi with a Matrix blower SBO14 and a Matrix filler SF300 FM, along with a rollfed labeller SL70 and conveying, shrink wrapping and palletisation equipment.
