High-performance stretch blow moulding and labelling system
In high-volume beverage production, optimizing space and efficiency is crucial. Meeting demands for large outputs while maintaining quality can be challenging, especially in limited areas. This often requires equipment capable of integrating multiple processes seamlessly.
Combines blow moulding, labelling, filling, and capping
The ErgoBloc L by Krones is a comprehensive system designed to integrate stretch blow moulding, labelling, filling, and capping in one compact unit. It achieves an impressive throughput of up to 100,000 containers per hour while utilizing 30% less space than traditional configurations. With infrared heating technology, it ensures optimal energy consumption reductions—up to 11% less energy in the infrared oven compared to other systems. The labelling station supports selective labelling up to 50,000 containers per hour. Its filling valve, with infinitely variable control, provides precise and efficient operation. The system’s compact design allows for handling cylindrical and square PET containers ranging from 0.25 to 3.5 liters, including those made from up to 100% rPET. Additionally, the ‘No bottle – no label’ feature helps prevent material waste. This all-in-one setup greatly reduces manual intervention and potential downtime.
