Compact bottling line for water

Revolutionize your bottling process with a compact solution that integrates multiple operations into a single coordinated unit, significantly reducing space, energy consumption, and total cost of ownership.

Streamlines Bottling and Packaging Operations

The ECOBLOC® and PACKBLOC from SMI Group are integrated systems designed for seamless operation in beverage production and bottling plants. By combining stretch-blowing, filling, capping, and packaging into two highly efficient units, these systems minimize space and reduce energy consumption through optimized motor control. Suitable for producing PET and rPET bottles for water, juices, and carbonated drinks, the ECOBLOC® simplifies production by combining multiple processes into one compact machine. The PACKBLOC handles secondary packaging and palletizing with its Cartesian-axis palletizer, ensuring smooth downstream operations. Capable of producing up to 14,000 bottles per hour, these systems support high-speed, continuous operations while reducing labor and maintenance costs, making them ideal for large-scale beverage manufacturers and packaging companies. Integration with existing production lines is facilitated through advanced automation, promoting minimal downtime and operational efficiency. Additionally, the system offers customizable labeling options and adheres to industry standards for food and beverage safety.

Benefits
