Bottle blowing

Bottle blowing is performed by SFR rotary blowmolding machines, the state of the art system with outstanding performance. This container production systems ensures high outputs (2,200 b/h/c) combined with consistent container quality. Several technical optimizations allow for a reliable blowing process control even at such high production rates.
Bottle transfer
The two units are electronically synchronized and connected together with a bottle transfer unit. Bottles are positively transferred by means of star-wheels modules.
Positive transfer allows to handle any type of bottle without problems, including light weight, avoiding bottle jam and maintenance need.
The first star-wheel is equipped with special flexible pockets guaranteeing a perfect bottle asset and avoiding bottles jam.

Bottle filling

All the filling monoblocs composing the Sincro-bloc are designed to guarantee a high operating flexibility, efficiency and fast change-over operations.
Big attention is paid the sanification of all the filling process components.

ISOFILL P, isobaric filler
ISOTRONIC P, isobaric volumetric filler
STILLFILL S P gravity filler
STILLFILL HR P gravity filler with re circulation
UNITRONIC P gravity volumetric filler

Bottle Capping

A “sincro” solution requires to use of caps feeding systems able to guarantee the highest efficiency and the complete emptying of the machines composing the sincro-bloc in case of cap jam.
We have chosen No.3 application systems, all high level quality:
• Traditional “Twin Hopper”
• The dynamic buffer “Dynamic Chute”
• The newest gravitational feeding “Cap Stream”
The above systems can be equipped with cap control device by video-camera suitable to guarantee 100% quality of the caps transferred to the capper.

Advanced Solution

SincroBloc holds the state-of-the-art technology available today on the market in terms of preform treatment, blowing, bottle handling, filling, capping and automation.
Extreme compactness and small overall dimensions.

Ergonomicness & Costs reduction

• Only one operator to control the whole system
• Consumptions reduction
• Absence of air conveyors: less energy consumption
• Absence of rinser: less water and energy consumption
• Elimination of maintenance costs and change over for the air conveyors.

Extreme operating flexibility

• It can handle a wide range of bottles, necks and caps sizes (both flat and sport).
• It is equipped with some devices to reduce the change-over times.

Hygiene

This solution can be equipped with a series of preform treatment system (with UV lamps and blowing with sterile air) so as to guarantee a high hygiene level.
From the blowing machine outlet the bottle can be maintained in an over-pressured ambient thanks to the laminar flow cabin which keeps the cleaning condition of the bottle up to the capping phase.

Efficiency

The rotating blow moulding machine and the filler are electronically coupled and are foreseen transferring systems to reduce the stumbling.
A special caps feeding unit reduce drastically the stops caused by possible obstacles on the chute.
