(in litres) 12 40 Moulds supplied directly to blowing machine manufacturers Yes Yes Do you supply retrofi t moulds for existing SBM machines? Yes Yes For which bottle maker have you already produced moulds Up to now, SMI engineers have produced a high number of moulds, featuring from simple to sophisticated shapes for a a wide range of companies for the industry of food & beverage, household cleaning and personal hygiene products and chemical and pharmaceutical products. Rotary and linear blow moulders: Sidel, KHS, Krupp, Sipa, SMI, Krones, Kosme, Siapi, Sipa, Mag Plastic, ADS, Lonza, Side, Chumpower etc. Bottle design service SMI designs, develops and virtually prototypes a wide range of packaging solutions in rPET and PET, according to the customers' specifi c requirements. Many major beverage and food manufacturers are committed to using rPET to reduce their carbon footprint. Thanks to an advanced CAD center for 3D design, SMI has invested in solutions for producing rPET bottles and for supporting companies in the study and graphic realisation of a wide range of containers that are 100% recyclable, of high quality and lightweight for saving energy and material. Furthermore, SMI provides solutions for manufacturing of bottles with the utmost quality, also thanks to accurate checks made on preforms and bottles. Creation of unique bottle design, branding, product naming, logos and labels, 3D models, prototyping, bottle sampling, PET containers laboratory tests, conversion of bottles from other materials to PET Specialities The moulds are manufactured using a special aluminium alloy. SMI relies on a special laboratory for the production of moulds and mechanical components, equipped with an FMS line consisting of 12 CNC machining centres: highly automated machines, running 7 days/week round the clock, even operator-less, according to pre-set production programmes (CAM). The 12 machining centres can achieve an output of more than 15,000 moulds/year; they are equipped with linear motors with a speed rate up to 80 meters/minute and mandrels achieving a speed rate of 30,000 rounds/minute. As a result, top-level quality standards are constantly provided. Moulds for 100ml - 40 l containers, fi lling line conversions, bottles for chemicals and detergents, sanitisers, hot fi ll, refPET, 5US gallon bottles with/without handle, wide neck jars, lightweight designs, laboratory tests Other The “ReduxAir” system allows to carry out stretch-blow moulding operations at lower pressures than usual. By an innovative design and specifi c technical solutions this system allows for the air in between the bottle's outer walls and the mould's surface to be more quickly released; thus, the PET bottle manufacturing process can be carried out with compressed air pressure at 15-20 bars (such a value depends on the preform and bottle features and on the stretch-blow moulding process conditions). The great advantage the ReduxAir's user can benefi t from in terms of lower power consumption of the compressor requires a few design limitations in the bottle's shape and features.
