At the Drinktec World Beverage and Liquid Food Technology Fair 2005, Sidel will introduce its next-generation Combi device, the Combi selec 20 FMw 90/15 C. The new generation of Combi equipment is more excellent in the blowing, filling and capping performance of PET bottles. It will reduce the bottle cost by 20% and improve the hygiene of non-inflated water filling.
Sidel's next-generation Combi equipment aims to produce PET bottles at a faster speed and at a lower cost. This goal means that there is a need to increase productivity by 23% while reducing packaging costs. For the same model of Combi equipment, the output rate will increase by 13% as the single-mode blowing rate is increased to 1,800 bottles/hour. A new generation of Combi equipment allows users to get more features and bottle conversion speed increased by 20%, while also providing programming settings for the blowing process and filling volume parameters.
In addition to the treatment of preforms with sterile air, a tilting filling frame with 100% stainless steel, and a loading space under controlled gas, Sidel bred innovative solutions with its experience in aseptic technology. , thereby improving the hygiene status of the new generation of Combi equipment. The pressurized filling space is reduced by 80%, thereby reducing the clean area, while also allowing Sidel to double its ventilation rate and reduce energy consumption. In addition, various valves use fewer components for easier cleaning. Also, when filling non-inflatable products, there is no need for any contact between the filling valve and the package itself.
