Bottle making, filling and handling technologies
Sipa, Hall 13 Booth B62
The Sipa booth will be in three parts, with in-depth looks at production of large containers, at technical applications like hot-fill, and at how PET bottles can prove advantageous in applications that are still largely the province of glass, such as wine and spirits.
Big containers
At Interpack, visitors can witness production of 20 l stackable edible oil bottles on Sipa linear blower SFL 1 Maxi. A multilayer pallet on the stand will show how stackable containers can be shipped. Sipa says that their linear blowers are the best in class in the production of large and very large PET containers, up to 30 l in volume, at a speed of 1,000 per hour. The full range of solutions from Sipa for production of large containers will be presented as well, from preforms production to synchronised blowing and filling, all the way through to palletisation. Customers can benefit not only from high performance and low TCO of the equipment, but also Sipa’s support in design of containers and preforms.
Challenging applications
In an area on the stand dedicated to “challenging” applications, the company will display an array of bottles for products requiring hot-fill and other special filling methods or highly technical applications, all produced on its lines.
Converted solutions
Packaging professionals know that PET has all sorts of technical and environmental advantages over glass packaging. But there remain areas where those advantages are still to be fully adopted. Wine is one of them. Visitors to the booth can take a look at a 48-cavity mould for wine bottle preforms, as well as a wine bottle blow mould. There will also be samples of sparkling wine bottles produced on Sipa systems.
