Non Food
Products: Detergents, cosmetics, motor oil, paints.
There are no special requirements for filling non-food products, while the packaging normally features customized shapes to adapt to the product image but also to specific requirements such as non-standard necks to be oriented in order to insert special caps (spraying devices).
Asymmetrical shapes with high ovality ratios might require special blowing technologies. PET brightness and transparency is highly appreciated.
In case of cosmetics, the use of special resins enables the productions of plastic containers very similar to the glass ones (i.e. cream jars).
Most common container requirements are:
• High ovality ratios
• Centered and off-centered necks
• Non-standard necks
• Preferential heating with or without neck orientation
• Ergonomic shapes
• Use of different resins
Any special container for this category requires a dedicated production technology. Between the complete available range of technologies, SIPA can select the most appropriate one for the specific container:
• ECS integrated technology
• SFL linear blowmolders
• SFR rotary blowmolders
Over 45 years experience with continuous development have placed the Sipa Berchi as the Worldwide leader in the design and manufacture of depalletiser and palletiser for the non-food industries(GENIUS).
The packaging area is completed by ROBBY range, the robotized handling solutions: a flexible system with customized solutions and high technology for pa/depalletising and cartoning.
A full range of complimentary packing machines complete the ‘Dry End’ including casing/uncasing machines, carton erectors, carton sealers and partitions inserters.

Material: PET, recycled PET, reground PET, OPP
Shapes: round, square, symmetrical & asymmetrical
Size: from 100 ml to 20 liters
Neck Diameter: from 14 mm to 165 mm
Special containers
• Large size containers: PET is becoming the most flexible and cost effective material for the manufacturing of large size containers. 5, 10 liters PET containers for water and edible oil are the standard today in the market. With the increasing cost of metals and resins, nowadays PET solutions for converting tin plate or HDPE cans and jars, for 15 liters, 20 liters and even 30 liters, assures very important cost savings in row materials and in investments for production technology. The ability to design innovative packaging and to manufacture preforms and containers for such big sizes are the key for this new market trend.
• Oval containers: Oval container means a container with different base length and width. It can be centered neck or off-centered neck. The technological challenge in the production of the oval containers is to achieve a uniform material distribution all around the bottle. The technology required to compensate the different radial stretching ratio on the short and long sides of the bottle makes use of a preferential heating oven equipped with infrared lamps dedicated to reheat the preforms asymmetrically: in the oven the preforms do not rotate, so the re-heating is concentrated in two opposite sides. Some containers require also the thread to be oriented, as special closures shall be applied; it is the case of many bottle for detergents, equipped with trigger sprayer that shall be oriented in the direction of the short side. In order to give the thread the proper position vs. the bottle, the machine producing the container is equipped with a special system to orient the preforms in the correct position before entering the preferential heating oven.
• Polypropylene Containers: PP is an interesting resin thanks to its peculiar features: water barrier, high temperature resistance and chemical inertia. For this reason, PP can access market where PET is not indicated. Thanks to its high temperature resistance, PP is also highly suitable when high hot filling temperature is required or steam sterilization (at 121°C) is needed e.g. medical and pharmaceutical and baby food industries. It is also suitable for applications requiring high humidity barrier performances, e.g. powder and soluble food. Finally, due to its chemical resistance, PP is particularly suitable for home care and paint applications. Co-operation with important resins producers allows SIPA to improve the process of PP resin reaching a wider process window (which is for PP very narrow) enhancing bottle aesthetic (in terms of transparency), material distribution and quality consistency.
