Complete bottling lines for carbonated soft drinks

Bottling complete lines for carbonated beverages feature high levels of variability, in terms of the types of product handled, bottle shapes, filling methods and production requirements.

 

"Different products, one line"

/
01

The best solution is to design a filling line that guarantees high levels of flexibility: our most recent innovations in the blowing systems, filling monoblocs and product preparation solutions all have this in mind, so that different products can be handled on the same line and with very short size changeover times

 

"High reduction of running costs and waste "

/
02

Great care has been taken to create a product preparation range that guarantees high standards of finished product quality and to the design of modular lines, allowing the widest possible range of secondary packaging requirements to be met.

Furthermore, there is a great commitment to find innovative solutions for all applications of the line to meet the growing need to minimize product waste, increasing the profitability of the plant. For example, the XFILL configuration (direct integration between mixer and filler which eliminates the need for a central tank) reduces the product wasted for snifting and flavour change, optimizing CO2 consumption.
The great variability in this sector also relates to continually and ever more rapidly changing trends, which derive from expectations and consumer habits of end customers and, in certain cases, from changes in regulations.
An example of this is the increase in demand for healthier, more natural products, which has translated into a re-eduction in the use of preservatives or a search for alternative sweeteners (for example stevia). Sipa has introduced innovations to the range that, for example, allow filling of even high-foam, preservative-free carbonated beverages at temperatures of up to 20°C, thanks to high levels of control in the filling environment using micro-isolator technology and to the tank-free configuration of the filling units integrated with the mixer.

Reduction of foaming

We are able to prepare and manage any type of carbonated beverage present on the market, both clear and with pulps or fibres, with an extensive range of carbonation levels (from 2 vol. to 4.5 vol. of CO2).

It is very important to optimise the manufacturing process of a CSD bottle (preform project – process) to reach physical-mechanical characteristics required by the product. PET is one of the preferred packaging materials, it is transparent, light, unbreakable and can easily be customised into a wide variety of shapes. It offers a good barrier to gas, namely to carbon dioxide.

The two major requirements of a container for carbonated soft drinks are its capacity to maintain the CO2 content inside the product for as long as possible, and to resist bottle expansion due to internal pressure. It is therefore very important to optimise the manufacturing process of a CSD bottle (preform project – process) to reach physical-mechanical characteristics required by the product.

  • Preserve CO2 levels inside the packaging. This is important especially for small size containers.
  • Reduced bottle expansion due to internal pressure (Shape keeping).
  • Containers must pass burst and drop tests.
  • Shape and bottom designed to resist high internal pressure (creep and burst resistance).
  • Reduce bottle weight while assuring bottle stability

MATERIAL:

  • PET, recycled and reground PET, Barrier PET, bio-based materials like PEF

BARRIER CONTAINERS:

  • in order to prolong the product's shelf life, containers can be produced with different types of barriers. The bottles production can be made with the addition of barrier agents blended with the resin (nylon MXD6, EVOH, oxygen scavengers), with the production of multilayer containers (PET+EVOH or PET + Nylon)

SHAPES:

  • round, customised, contour, swirl, Global Swirl

SIZES:

  • from 250 ml to 5 litres

WEIGHT:

  • ffrom 10 grams for 100 ml to 120 grams for 5 litres, lightweight containers design

NECK DIAMETER:

  • from 26 mm to 38 mm

Non-food products

Sipa includes in this category of products all bottle solutions for detergents, personal care, chemicals and pharmaceutical products, for each of which it is necessary to identify compatibility and specific needs and operating requirements. Here again we are in the presence of a wide range of very different products to be handled, and of very different containers, that often include special components such as features to allow pouring or dispensing of the product. In this context, Sipa can take...

Food products

Sipa specialises in the supply of complete lines for liquids, but has also gained considerable experience in the food product sector. This is a very broad segment, featuring great variability in terms of container type, size and products: liquids, pastes, powders, creams, sauces, products containing pieces, etc.

Alcoholic beverages

Alcoholic beverages

The alcoholic beverage sector is extremely varied in terms of line production capacity (from the small capacities of some lines for wine and spirits, to the high speed lines for beer), products to be filled, types of container and packaging.

Edible oil

Edible oil

Edible oil is a product with a high added value, so great consideration must be given to precision and accuracy during the filling phase. Furthermore, the viscosity of the product requires the use of appropriate filling methods. Sipa offers high performance, precise filling solutions, using the most modern and reliable quantity control technology for the bottled product, both with weight filling and mass flow meters. Again taking into account the intrinsic value of the product, great care has...
