Technical Specifications & Performance Data This SIPA SFR EVO3 is a rotary stretch blow molding machine designed for the high-efficiency production of PET bottles in modern beverage operations. As a robust industrial packaging machine, it offers reliable production for beverage production lines that require consistent quality and throughput. The machine features an 8-cavity configuration and accommodates a wide range of bottle formats commonly used for water and soft drinks. Manufacturer: SIPA Model: SFR EVO3 Year of manufacture: 2017 Production speed: Up to 18,000 bottles per hour Number of cavities: 8 Neck finish: PCO 28-1810 Bottle formats: Compatible with 0.5L, 1.0L, 1.5L formats Container type: Designed to handle PET bottles Bottle diameter (min–max, diagonal): 50–125 mm Bottle height (min–max, without neck): 80–349 mm Advanced Automation & Control Systems Designed for consistent performance, the SFR EVO3 integrates advanced automation with precise preform heating and controlled blowing sequences. The operator-oriented HMI and PLC-based control facilitate recipe management, process monitoring and format changeovers. The machine architecture prioritizes repeatability of the pre-blowing and blowing phases, promoting stable bottle quality during high-speed cycles. Automated process control with user-friendly HMI Efficient preform heating for uniform material distribution Quick-change features to support format adjustments Guards with safety interlocks and an emergency stop circuit for operator protection Production line integration capability This blow molder integrates seamlessly into used PET bottling line configurations, either operating as a standalone unit upstream of a filler or synchronized within a complete beverage production line. The included preform feeding and preform cooling systems facilitate smooth feeding and stable production conditions, improving overall line efficiency. In-line or standalone operation with standard conveyor interfaces Compatible with downstream filling, capping, and labeling equipment Flexible handling for 0.5L, 1.0L, and 1.5L bottle formats Suitable for modernizations or capacity increases in used packaging plants Machine Condition & Maintenance History The machine is currently in working order, indicating operational readiness in a live environment. Built in 2017, it offers a modern platform for operators seeking reliable performance and repeatable quality in PET bottle production. Its used and working condition makes it a strong candidate for rapid deployment in industrial packaging lines. Operational Performance & Versatility: With 8 cavities and an output of up to 18,000 bottles per hour, the SFR EVO3 balances speed and quality for high-demand beverage production. The PCO 28-1810 neck standard ensures broad compatibility with popular closures, simplifying cap supply and line interoperability. The preform feeding system and preform cooling system help stabilize process conditions, enabling consistent bottle performance across different formats. Optimized for PET bottles with PCO 28-1810 neck finish. Consistent, high-throughput quality for scalable operations. Typical applications: water, CSD (carbonated soft drinks), and juice in PET formats. Installation Requirements & Site Preparation. For reliable commissioning, prepare an area that supports preform feeding, mold changeover, and safe operator access. The blow molding machine requires appropriate utilities, including electrical power, low- and high-pressure compressed air, and process cooling. Proper positioning of the preform feeding system ensures uninterrupted feeding and stable production rates. Provision for electrical power, compressed air (low- and high-pressure), and cooling. Adequate space for access, maintenance, and changeover operations. Integration space for infeed/outfeed conveyors to the filling line. Safety Standards & Compliance Certifications. The SIPA SFR EVO3 is designed with comprehensive guarding, interlocks, and emergency stop systems to support safe operation in beverage packaging environments. Its hygienic, industrial-grade construction makes it suitable for PET beverage containers, aligning with the safety expectations of modern bottling equipment.
