Blow-fill-cap solution for low/medium batch production

Streamline your production line with a compact blow-fill-cap system that reduces both operational costs and footprint, ideal for efficiently processing high-value liquid products in low to medium batch sizes.

Blows, Fills, and Caps Liquid Products

The COMBOX series from Serac provides a compact, engineered-to-order solution for liquid packaging with its integrated blow-fill-cap capabilities. Ideal for industries like dairy, beverages, and household products, this equipment is designed for low to medium batch sizes and high-value products, minimizing over-sizing and investment needs. The COMBOX H2F and COMBOX-SAS models offer packaging solutions tailored for chilled and aseptic products, respectively. The system’s integrated design eliminates the need for additional silos, unscramblers, and air conveyors, reducing labor costs by requiring only one operator for two machines and decreasing material costs through lighter bottles. The direct transfer from PET preform heating to filling improves hygiene by limiting dust exposure. This solution supports a variety of applications, handling end-products such as milk, juices, vegetable oils, shampoos, and automotive fluids. Its semi-automated operation allows easy integration into existing production lines, while maintaining a reduced footprint and conserving energy through optimized processes. Customization options and engineering support are available to fit particular production needs.
