Used SBO 16 S2 Blow Molding Machine This used Sidel blow molding machine is an industrial solution for high-speed PET bottle production for beverage and food packaging. Refurbished and guaranteed, it offers reliable performance to manufacturers looking to expand capacity or upgrade an existing bottling line. Designed for PET containers with current configurations for 1.5L formats, it is suitable for the production of beverages including water, carbonated soft drinks, beer, wine, spirits, milk, and oil. The Sidel engineering platform ensures consistent blow mold quality and robust operation in demanding industrial filling environments. Manufactured by Sidel, this used SBO 16 S2 features 16 cavities and a rated speed of 25,000 bottles per hour, making it suitable for medium to high-production operations. Its rotary architecture and counterclockwise operating direction support smooth operation and efficient cycle continuity. This machine is available as is and can be integrated into existing PET lines or used as part of a standalone preform-to-bottle module within a larger packaging machinery system. Technical Specifications and Performance Data Manufacturer: Sidel Model: SBO 16 S2 Year of Production: 2000 Production Speed: 25,000 bph (nominal) No. of Cavities: 16 Container Material: PET Current Bottle Format: 1.5L Maximum Bottle Height: 340 mm Machine Type: Rotary Working Direction: Counterclockwise Number of Spindles: 220 Number of Grippers: 8-8 Advanced Automation and Control Systems The Sidel SBO 16 S2 blow molder is designed for stable heating, precise preform handling, and consistent blowing parameters. Standard operator interfaces support quick recipe changes and format management to maintain uptime. Safety guards and locks protect operators while allowing easy access for adjustments and routine maintenance. Quick-change mechanisms on format-related components help reduce downtime during bottle size changes. Production line integration capability This blow molding machine integrates seamlessly with upstream preform handling (tilters, elevators, discers) and downstream conveyors, inspection, and packaging equipment. It can operate inline within a complete PET beverage production line or as a standalone module feeding containers for filling, labeling, and capping. Format changeovers accommodate typical beverage bottle ranges, with the current configuration optimized for 1.5L bottles. Machine condition and maintenance history The machine is overhauled, tested, and guaranteed, with conditions described as ready for use. It is offered with compatible spare parts and can be supplied as expected. A 6-month warranty provides additional confidence in performance and reliability for pre-owned operations. Operational Performance and Versatility Designed for PET, the SBO 16 S2 is suitable for a wide range of food and beverage applications, including sparkling water, still water, soft drinks, beer, wine, spirits, milk, and edible oil. Its 16-cavity rotary design ensures efficient oven heating, accurate preform transfer via pins and grippers, and robust blow consistency for consistent bottle quality between production batches. Installation Requirements and Site Preparation Plan for adequate space for preform handling, oven ventilation, and downstream conveyors. Utilities typically include electrical power, high-pressure air, and cooling systems associated with industrial blow molding operations. Floor layouts should allow for safe operator access and scheduled maintenance to ensure stable performance and uptime. Safety Standards and Compliance Certification Safety enclosures, interlocking doors, and emergency shutdown systems provide operator protection during operation and service changeovers. Hygienic design principles and cleanable surfaces support beverage industry standards, while robust Sidel construction ensures long-term industrial reliability.
