Technological excellence and pureness: SIPA line for Tinny srl at the Sibilla Spring

In the evocative setting of the Sibillini Mountains, the partnership between SIPA and Tinny srl has culminated in a state-of-the-art bottling plant for Sibilla water. This collaboration represents a perfect synthesis of precision Italian engineering and the enhancement of a unique natural resource, characterized by its extreme purity and alkaline properties.

Packaging Design: harmony between form and function

The project began at the SIPA Design Department, where packaging was developed for 0.5L, 0.75L, and 1.0L PET formats in the 2 different bottle geometrical shapes. The objective was twofold: to create a premium aesthetic reflecting the Sibilla brand identity and to optimize the bottle structure for lightweighting. This approach reduced the container's environmental footprint without compromising the mechanical resistance required to sustain high-speed production.

The Heart of Production: The 48,000 bph Sincro Bloc

The technological centerpiece of the installation is the Sincro Bloc integrated system, designed to handle an output of 48,000 bottles per hour (bph) for the 0.5L format. This configuration optimizes efficiency and ensures rigorous hygienic standards by eliminating air conveyors between the blowing and filling stages.

The process begins with the XTRA 20 Rotary Blower, a 20-cavity powerhouse that redefines high-speed PET production through its "open" architecture, which allows for unparalleled accessibility and rapid mold changeovers. Beyond its high output, the XTRA 20 features a market-leading wide processing window and an optimized oven ventilation system that reduces energy consumption by up to 25%. When combined with the ARS PLUS high-efficiency air recovery system and UV decontamination lamps on the preform chute, the machine ensures that maximum productivity is achieved with the smallest possible environmental and energy footprint.

The line then flows into the FLEXTRONIC-C 100-20 Filling-Capping Block, a unit featuring 100 filling valves and 20 capping heads. The system operates within a sterile air overpressure isolator (ISO Class 7), a critical solution for preserving the natural characteristics of Sibilla water without the use of preservatives.

Technology and Total Quality Control

Beyond the main block, the SIPA line integrated for Tinny srl features advanced solutions for every process phase:

      • Preparation and Treatment: Includes the Massblend 42 mixing and carbonation unit and a pasteurizer with a capacity of up to 36,000 l/h for specific product management.
      • Safety and Hygiene: A pulsed light unit sterilizes the caps, while the 700 Series control system uses cameras to monitor capping quality and fill levels, automatically rejecting non-compliant products.
      • Labeling and Coding: The Flexi Opera 400 36T manages label application via modular units, followed by a 30W laser coder for indelible and precise traceability.

End-of-Line and Palletization

The management of the finished product is handled by a high-performance end-of-line system. The Genius PTF-V Fastlayer palletizer organizes packs on Euro pallets at high speeds, while the SPF-A stretch wrapper with a high-speed kit ensures load stability for transport.

A Strategic Collaboration

SIPA’s "turnkey" solution allows Tinny srl to operate with unprecedented flexibility at the Sibilla spring. From container design to the realization of a complete 48,000 bph line, SIPA confirms its role as the ideal technological partner for those aiming to combine industrial volumes, sustainability, and maximum product quality protection.
