Blow-moulder and labeller integration for Pet bottles
Streamline and enhance your PET bottle production with seamless blow-moulding and labelling integration, achieving high-speed operations with precise label application and reduced energy consumption.
Combines and Labels PET Bottles Efficiently
The Contiform Bloc BL from Krones is an integrated solution that streamlines PET bottle production by combining stretch blow moulding and labelling into one efficient block. This equipment is distinctive for its seamless drive concept and actively controlled transfer grippers, which ensure precise label application on high-speed production lines. Designed for versatility, it accommodates various bottle shapes (cylindrical and square) and volumes (up to 3.5 liters), supporting both standard and lightweight containers as well as up to 100% rPET content.
Capable of processing up to 99,000 containers per hour, the Contiform Bloc BL integrates smoothly into existing production lines, reducing the need for multiple operators due to its unified control system. The infrared heating technology and Air Wizard Triple compressed air recycling ensure energy efficiency while minimizing operational costs. Its modular design allows easy customization and adaptation for specific production needs, while the Servo Joint Control provides flexibility between block and single machine operations, enhancing maintenance efficiency and reducing downtime.
This system is particularly suited for beverage manufacturers and PET bottle producers aiming to optimize high-speed operations in the food and beverage industry, ensuring impeccable label application and energy savings throughout the manufacturing process.
