Sidel, a Switzerland-based supplier of liquid packaging solutions to the drinks industry, has expanded its portfolio with the launch of a new modular generation of PET bottling equipment - Sidel Matrix.
Sidel Matrix fillers maintains hygiene for both still and carbonated beverages.
Sidel Matrix offers beverage safety and package quality, lower operating costs and improved environmental footprint for the beverage industry. It features blowers, fillers, Combi and labelers.
Sidel Matrix blower has a capacity to produce 2,250 bottles per mould per hour.
It can produce different bottle shapes with sizes ranging from 0.1l to 3.5l using its three sizes of blowing station.
Bottle Switch system of the machine enables it to switch between different formats of bottles in less than 15 minutes.
Sidel Matrix fillers are designed to maintain hygiene for both still and carbonated beverages. A reduced enclosure to control the filling environment enables it to maintain quality, claims the company.
Integrated electro-pneumatic components, the absence of vertical movement of the bottles, no ring bowl or carousel and no contact between bottle and filling valve for still beverages eliminate the risk of cross-contamination.
Module interfaces of the filler enable it to handle various types of beverages irrespective of the recipe or bottle format.
Sidel Matrix Combi is an integration of Sidel's blowing and filling technology into one solution.
This blow-fill-cap solution improves hygiene as well as reduce costs to bottle still or carbonated beverages.
Sidel Matrix Rollfed labeler enables customers to produce bottles with labels that are one-third thinner.
It uses direct-drive technology to replace gearboxes and mechanical transmission. It can handle bottle diameters from 45-160mm and can manage different types of materials and ultra-lightweight bottles.
