Injection stretch-blow molding system for Pet containers

For manufacturers aiming to produce versatile, high-quality PET containers efficiently, this system offers rapid changeovers and low energy consumption, ensuring smooth integration into production lines while maintaining strict design specifications.

Produces PET Containers in Single-Stage Operation

The ECS SP series from SIPA, including the ECS SP 80 and ECS SP 25, are single-stage injection stretch-blow molding machines designed for the efficient production of specialized PET containers. These models facilitate quick changeovers between product configurations, making them ideal for manufacturers in pharmaceuticals, personal care, and food industries. The machines utilize a hybrid system combining servo-electric drives and hydraulics, optimizing energy consumption and reducing carbon footprint. With capabilities to produce containers as small as 20 mL, they cater to diverse end-products like travel-size shampoo bottles and liquid medicine vials. The compact layout and clean production environment make them suitable for food and pharma applications, and they are fully integrable into continuous, high-speed production lines. The ECS SP systems accept molds from major competitors, enhancing flexibility and compatibility.

Benefits

  • Optimizes energy efficiency with hybrid drives, reducing operational costs.
