Large PET containers from SIPA

SIPA of Veneto, Italy, a global leader of Stretch Blow Moulding Machines for the production of PET bottles, have mastered the art of developing large – 40 Litre plus size containers for a range of applications such as water, beer, oils, detergents and chemicals.

SIPA works closely with customers to develop large PET containers that meet their needs and can handle the rigorous top load requirements for transporting large packs. SIPA engineers can suggest subtle changes that can enable more containers to fit on a pallet and dramatically reduce the distribution costs for the customer.

In Bosnia SIPA developed a 19L (5 US Gallon) returnable container for the HOD water market. Replacing an expensive polycarbonate container, the 680gm PET container is produced on a SFL 2/2 linear stretch blow moulder.

SIPA is also a popular choice for Preform and Stretch Blow Moulding Machines in Asia.

A Malaysian manufacturer of palm oil ‘Able Perfect’ is using a SIPA Stretch blow moulding machine to create square, stackable containers in 10, 20 and 25 Litres sizes. The container preforms were designed to optimize the blowing process, as well as the cooling of the unique base, which was critical in ensuring the stack-ability of the containers. SIPA were also able to integrate their machinery into the customer’s existing production facility which was a key requirement of the customer.

A south Asian customer recently installed a PPS 300/12L preform Injection Moulding Machine and a SFL 2/2 Stretch Blow Moulding Machine which will manufacture 10 Litre Hot fill bottles that will be filled with soy sauce. SIPA engineers spent eight months perfecting the preform and bottle design to ensure their solution met the customer’s expectations. The system is now producing 1,100 x 10L containers per hour.

Yikai Kerry, a Chinese manufacturer of cooking oils have installed twenty five (25) plus SFL Linear Stretch Blow Moulding machines in their factories, which produce 5 Litre cooking oil bottles. They recently installed a SFL 6/6 XXL Stretch Blow Moulding Machine, with a running speed of 6,000 x 5L bottles per hour.
