Single-stage plastic container production system

Eliminate multiple steps and minimize production costs with an integrated system that transforms raw resin into high-quality finished containers in a seamless process.

Produces and Shapes Plastic Containers

The ECS FX ISBM systems from SIPA offer a seamless, single-stage process for plastic container production directly from resin to finished bottles. Specializing in high-volume outputs, these systems eliminate the costs of two-step processes by integrating plasticization, preform injection, and stretch-blow molding into a continuous operation. With applications spanning beverages, food, and personal care sectors, the ECS FX models are adept at producing diverse container types, from PET water bottles to cosmetic jars.

Notably, the ECS FX systems feature tailored injection profiles and advanced thermal conditioning, ensuring high-quality preforms and containers with optimal material distribution. Capable of processing up to 36,000 bottles per hour, they support a range of materials, including PET, RPET, and PLA, while minimizing energy consumption via efficient electric motors and reduced compressed air needs.

SIPA’s ECS FX systems are designed with robust automation, including precise injection control and innovative preform handling that reduces the risk of damage or contamination. The systems allow for the simultaneous production of varied container shapes and sizes, enhancing operational flexibility. With a focus on ease of maintenance, components like self-lubricating bushings ensure long-term reliability, while customizable mold options and engineering support offer adaptability to specific production requirements.
