6 5 4 3 1 2 Layout of a ECS FX EVO 1 2 6 5 4 3 Layout of a ECS HS 1 Plastification. Previously dehumidified PET granules are plasticized in the extruder using a screw specifically designed by SIPA. During the plasticization stage the material is melted, homogenized and slowly transported by the screw in order not to generate shear stress and consequently reduce the AA level and the IV drop to the minimum. 2 Preform injection. The melted material is injected into the mold by means of an optimized injection profile aimed at obtaining high quality preforms. Preform production cycle time depends...

Innovative design for excellent performance The ECS platform The ECS platform has been recently upgraded to the latest innovations. The ECS FX and HS represent the evolution of SIPA’s market leading technology. SIPA’s integrated system starts with the raw material and takes the process through to the finished container without any interruption, with total automated control of all phases of production. The closed loop control system, active in each individual phase of the machines’ cycle and extended throughout the whole production cycle of the machine, makes SIPA’s one-step process a closed,...

Energy and compressed air saving Cost savings - The integration of injection and blowing process, with no need of cooling and re-heating the preforms, guarantees the lower energy costs per container produced (kW/bottle); - better system efficiency thanks to the electric motor for extrusion and preform handling (no hydraulic motor); - lower compressed air consumption due to “dead volumes” reduction; - innovative and patented AIR recovery system (ARS) allows the recovery of high pressure air to be used for other process phases (air for service and blowing) and for others equipment. OW The integrated...

The highest bottles quality at the lowest cost in the market Bottle quality Clean containers - The ECS integrated process allows producers to make dedicated preforms in order to obtain the optimum characteristics of thickness, diameter and height for the particular size and application of the finished container; - extremely light containers can be produced for standard, hot fill or wide mouth applications; - the integrated process controls the humidity levels from the granules to the preform to the stretch-blowing phase. The low level of humidity obtained results into a higher level of crystallinity...

Plasticization With unique innovative solutions, the ECS platform is the state-of-the-art of one-step in terms of performance and reliability. Preform handling The extruder continuously plasticizes PET with a specially designed screw eliminating any back-flow of melted material. Thanks to the continuous extrusion, the average melting speed is decreased and results in a lower stress on the material and reduced production of AA. Preforms handling systems allow preforms to be transferred from injection to blowing molds without damages or possible contamination. Two wide range screws: 120 mm and...

Wide mouth containers Wide mouth containers production with wide range of capacities and thread finish diameters. Wide range of neck finish available: screw, twist-off or snap-in with alu-foil. Customized thermal conditioning systems to provide effective preform conditioning: air-knives, cups, electromagnetic induction or infrared for the production of jars with a wide variety of shapes: round, oval, square or customized shape. High output production. Hot fillable containers SIPA’s ECS platform can produce any type of heat set container for sensitive products to be hot filled at the required...

ECS major applications Oval & asymmetrical containers SIPA’s ECS platform, using different technologies for the preferential heating of preforms, can produce asymmetrical containers (centered and off-centered neck) with a wide range of output (from 2,000 to 30,000 b/h). Various applications: ex. Containers for dressings and sauces with 100% PET or with amosorb blend; detergent containers with blends of virgin PET and recycled PET, up to 100% of PCR PET. Ultra clean & aseptic containers The integrated process reduces microbiological contamination when bottles are blown with filtered air. Ultra-clean...
