This was the highlight on the Sipa booth at NPE. Linear blowers for bigger bottles, shorter runs, and more In the beginning, all SincroBloc models were based on SFR rotary stretch-blow moulding equipment. Some customers of Sipa, especially bottlers of water and edible oil, needed a system, clean and compact like the originals, for larger formats up to 12 litres. For this, only linear stretch-blowers will do. Some customers also want to produce only limited quantities, possibly at only 2,000bph and for this a linear machine is again more appropriate. Outputs from SincroBlocs account for all tastes. For exam- ple, rotary types can work at speeds of up to 54,000 small and medium-sized bottles per hour, while a system matching an SFL for large formats with a BigFill volumetric gravity-filling monobloc can push out 4,000 12 l containers over the same period. Versatility in linear and rotary formats The capabilities of the SFL SincroBloc units stretch well beyond big bottles and short runs. They can produce and fill small and large containers, in various formats, including bottles with handles. They can work with all types of liquids, whether they be still water, CSDs, milk, hot-filled products, or products with high added value such as oils, detergents and personal care. All SincroBloc systems are very versatile. For example, any one line, whether it is based on a linear or rotary blower, can produce and fill hot-fill and CSD drinks. Numerous Sipa custom- ers have taken advantage of this feature. www.sipa.it F.l.t.r.: Johann Lange-Brock, PETplanet, Martina Bottarel, Sipa, Heike Fischer, PETplanet and Roberta Gualtieri, Sipa
