Blow-moulder and labeller integration for Pet bottles

In high-speed PET bottle production, managing separate blow moulding and labelling operations can lead to inefficiencies and increased space requirements. Traditional setups often struggle with maintaining consistent output and optimising resource use, undermining production goals.

Combine blow-moulding and labelling seamlessly

The Krones Contiform Bloc BL integrates both stretch blow moulding and labelling into a single, streamlined system. Designed to maximise efficiency, it handles up to 99,000 containers per hour*. With advanced infrared heating, precise servo drives, and actively controlled transfer grippers, it ensures fast, reliable, and gentle processing of PET containers. Up to 2,750 containers can be processed per hour and blowing station, and the labelling station can handle up to 50,000 containers per hour. The system accommodates a variety of container shapes and sizes, including cylindrical, square, standard, lightweight, and up to 100 percent rPET containers. It uses self-adhesive labels and reel-fed plastic labels. The integrated Air Wizard Triple system optimises compressed air recycling, reducing energy consumption. The Contiform Bloc BL offers flexibility, space efficiency, and optimal performance, even under continuous operations.
