At this month in Rosemont, Ill., SACMI won’t be exhibiting machines but it will be highlighting its CBF-PET system, an evolution of its Compression Blow Forming process beyond polyolefins to now include PET. The rotary system is offered with 16 or 20 cavities and neck diameters from 53 to 75 mm, (bottle diam. of 57 to 77 mm, and max. container height of 220 mm. Output rates are said to be 10,000 bottles/hr with 16 cavities and 13,000 bph with 20 cavities.
In addition, SACMI has integrated its bottle vision system (BVS 360) with the leak tester downstream from the CBF machine as part of a comprehensive inspection system. Fully configurable with up to 12 cameras, the BVS inspects every part of the container—mouth, thread, body, bottom—and is suited to PET, HDPE, PP and PS bottles.
