Technical Specifications and Performance Data Manufacturer: Sidel Model: SBO 16 S2 Year of Production: 2001 Production Speed ​​(Maximum): 25,000 bph Container Type: PET Current Bottle Format: 1.5L Machine Type: Rotary No. of Cavities (Molds): 16 Number of Mandrels: 220 Number of Grippers: 8-8 Machine Pitch: 500 mm Maximum Bottle Height: 340 mm Working Direction: Counterclockwise Neck Thread Type: Corvaglia Power Supply: 400 V, 3 PH, 50 Hz Installed Power: 466 kW Pressure Range: 7–40 bar PLC: Siemens HMI: Sidel Advanced Automation and Control Systems The control is managed via a Siemens PLC with SIDEL HMI, providing intuitive operation tools, recipe management and diagnostics for efficient changeovers and maintenance. The system supports stable control of heating and blowing parameters to ensure consistent bottle quality. Electrical specifications include 400 V, three-phase, 50 Hz, and 466 kW installed power, suitable for standard industrial electrical infrastructure. Integrated protection and interlocks contribute to operator safety and a lifetime of reliable production efficiency. Production Line Integration Capability This rotary blow molder integrates seamlessly into an existing bottling line or new beverage production layouts. It interfaces with upstream preform handling systems and downstream conveyors, fillers, labelers, and inspectors. Format changes are facilitated by dedicated mold sets and neck components. Designed for PET bottle production, it is suitable for a wide range of beverage applications and can be configured for multiple bottle volumes in the 1.5L class and beyond with the appropriate tooling. Machine Condition and Maintenance History The machine is used, overhauled, and supplied with a warranty, indicating a ready-to-use condition. It is presented as ready for use and with compatible spare parts. The condition offered reflects a pre-owned machine inspected and serviced to ensure reliable performance in industrial filling environments. Operational Performance and Versatility: With 16 cavities and a rotary motion, the SBO 16 S2 achieves high production capacity with stable bottle quality. It is suitable for PET containers for water (still and sparkling), CSD, wine, beer, milk, oil, and spirits. Corvaglia neck thread compatibility supports standard beverage closures and packaging specifications. Additional molds can extend format flexibility to accommodate evolving product portfolios. Installation and Site Preparation Requirements: Required utilities include 400 V, 3-phase, 50 Hz power and compressed air within a range of 7–40 bar to support the blow molding process. Cooling capacity is recommended; a 50 Hz chiller is available as a separate offering along with new molds to accommodate production formats. The machine's rotating configuration should be considered when planning the layout of conveyor belts and service areas to allow for safe access and efficient maintenance. Safety standards and compliance certification: The machine includes comprehensive guards and operator protection, consistent with industrial safety practices for beverage production machinery. Emergency stop circuits, interlocking doors, and controlled access zones support safe operation and maintenance. A hygienic and robust construction meets the requirements of modern bottling equipment used in beverage production environments.
