BOTTLING / FILLING PET planet Insider Vol. 19 No. 05/18 www.petpla.net 39 For the production and lling of PET bottles for ISM’s Cool Heaven water and Frutop juices in 500ml bottle format, the Sidel Matrix blow moulder was supplied to the Peruvian manufacturer in a Combi congura- tion, a competitive alternative to tra- ditional lines. By integrating blowing, lling and capping, the Sidel Matrix Combi optimises line layout with a smaller, more compact footprint and ergonomic design. Additionally, by eliminating conveying, empty bottle handling, accumulation and storage, it ensures greater levels of hygiene. The solution offers an increase of up to 4% in efciency levels compared to stan- dalone machines – featuring fewer pieces of equipment – and contribut- ing to a reduction in operating costs of up to 12%, says the company. The Sidel Matrix blower offers 200 possible congurations to t produc- tion needs; it also manages to reduce the consumption of electricity, air and materials as well as downtime. Fea- turing a minimal environmental foot- print, the Sidel Matrix blower with its patented ECO oven technology offers, according to the company, the best oven efciency on the market, reduc- ing preform heating time, requiring fewer heating modules and lamps and thereby cutting electrical consumption by up to 45%. Furthermore, savings in compressed air of up to 30% are possible. Production of ISM’s bottled water and Frutop drinks naturally requires lling conditions of the strictest hygiene. The ller supplied to handle both water and fruit juices was a Sidel Matrix SF100 FM, which offers opti- mum uptime, high productivity, fully automatic changeovers and 30% less downtime needed for maintenance. Featuring magnetic owmeters, this solution is able to ll still beverages with precision, such as water, juices, nectars, soft drinks, isotonics and teas. Covering only the space around the valves and taking up 80% less space than traditional enclosures, the solution with its compact lling environment improves food safety and reduces the need for chemical agents. The solution supplied for ISM features nitrogen dosing, reducing the amount of oxygen at the top of the bottle and thereby ensuring the bottles are evenly lled, a feature that is particu- larly important in the case of juices. Use of nitrogen also improves the performance of the bottle throughout the whole value chain, offering greater rigidity and enhanced resistance to stress-cracking. www.sidel.com W W W .
