• Costs reduction:
  • Reduced operators number.
  • Lower TCO of the SFL linear blower compared to rotary competitors.
  • No air conveyors: less energy consumption and no filter costs
  • No rinser: less water and energy consumption.
  • Elimination of maintenance costs and change over times for the air conveyors.
• Ideal solution for lightweight bottles.
• Hygiene: a preform treatment system, the short connection between blowing and filling, the over-pressured environment are guarantee of high hygiene level.
• Extreme operating flexibility: bottle up to 20L and neck finish up to 55 mm.
• Space saving and ergonomics: extreme compactness. Only one operator controls the whole system.

• Flexibility. With a simple conversion, the same unity can produce standard and hot fill containers. 
• Higher outputs: 1,800 bottle per hour cavity.
• Fully electric machine (no oil)
• Preforms ventilation system with laminar flow (SIPA patent). No turbulence.
• Low thermal inertia: higher heating process consistency and fast start-up
• Modular oven
• High standardization
• Bottle volume from 200 ml up to 20 liters
• Neck finish from 26mm to 55mm

Sipa Patented sincro connection to convert linear discharge of the blower to the feeding starwheel of the rotary filler:

• Bottles are discharged from the SFL blower by the linear transfer unit equipped with spindles and controlled by brushless motor (standard machine).
• Two similar linear transfer units positioned one in front of the other slide alternatively to pick up one batch of bottles and release them one by one to the 1° filler starwheel without changing the pitch.

• Great flexibility: it can handle bottles of all shapes.
• Body guides are no longer necessary meaning a drastic reduction in change-over downtimes.
• Overpressure system: the separation between the dry zone air (blowmolder) and wet zone air (filler) is assured.

The complete range of fillers can be matched with the linear blowmolder: isobaric fillers, gravity fillers and hot fillers, both mechanical level and electronic volumetric versions, including the weight filling solution.

• The fillers in the Flextronic range can be configured in Xfill version: this means that the carbonating or mixing unit tank will be used as a buffer tank for the filler, which no longer has the product tank on board.
• Innovative and quick-change-over system
• Hygiene
  • Overpressure sterile air cabins with contamination control equipped with HEPA filters.
  • The transfer module and filler are pre-set for CIP/COP/SIP operations: a guarantee of the highest hygiene standards.
  • Solutions for the contamination reduction of preforms and caps.
  • Filling area protected by a Mini-Enclosure (isolator technology) for sensitive product handling.

Depending on the different operating conditions, we have designed different solutions:
Capstream
It is a gravitational cap feeding system designed to guarantee the highest efficiency of the Sincro Bloc versions, according to the most advanced state-of-the-art.
The caps arrive already oriented to the top of the feeder and descent by simple gravity to cap chutes, without compressed air (clean feeding).
Twin/single Hopper
The Twin Hopper is composed of two cap hoppers and relevant descent channel to the pick and place. In the event of a blockage on the first, the system passes automatically to the second, allowing the operator to remove the blockage without stopping the capping operations until the machine is empty.
When using a single type of cap the single hopper with reverse-rotation solution is available.
Flat Buffer
This is a dynamic buffer, positioned between the hopper and the pick and place,
and is composed of an horizontal rotating disk where a sufficient number of oriented caps is hold to guarantee an accumulation that allows the operator to clear the blockage and completely empty the system.
