PET Blowing-Filling-Capping units
The BFC-unit incorporates a stretch blow molding machine to produce plastic bottles from PET preforms, followed by a filling and capping machine. All operations are automated.
The entire bottling system, model OPTIMA, is built according to clean design requirements on a single frame and foreseen with a central control panel.
The blowing clamp and the stretch rod are electronically driven by a servo motor for optimal adjustments.
The filling principle depend on the type of liquid. Depending the type of cap, we foresee pick-and-place or sweep-off capping applicators.
- very flexible with neck-handling throughout the entire bottling process
- bottle format change-over takes only 20 minutes (identical preform neck diameter)
- compact with easy access to all important parts, facilitating maintenance
- the visibility for the operator on all parts of the machine is outstanding
- can be equipped with a remote data control and monitoring system
