New Sidel Combi at Refres Now
CSD manufacturer Refres Now from Argentina as invested in the biggest Sidel Combi ever built.? Part of a complete line, the Sidel Combi was installed at the company’s bottling plant as a high-tech solution for bottling family pack sizes, which are in great demand in Argentina. The line features a Sidel Combi Eurotronica FMc and a Sidel Starblend mixer and is presently achieving production output rates of 30,000 bottles per hour for the larger two and a half litre bottles of carbonated soft drinks.
The company is also experiencing a comparative 17% saving in the use of electricity on the line. The Combi is equipped with 20 blow moulding stations, 162 electronic flowmeter filling valves and 18 capping heads. Brushless motors and an interface between blowing and filling functions contribute to energy savings and improved security. Through careful and precise control of the caps before they enter the capper, the correct orientation and process quality are both assured to minimise problems and waste.
