THE PRODUCTION OF PET PREFORM BECOMES XTREME Thanks to its distinctive cutting-age technology and innovation, SIPA has created in a single platform the best solution for the different production needs of customers worldwide. XTREME is a rotary platform for manufacturing lightweight preforms destined for mineral water and aseptic bottles, with the utmost levels of efficiency and the lowest TCO. This revolutionary injection-compression molding system permits the highest L/t ratios in the industry, enabling the production of preforms that are 10% lighter than traditional injection molding, with...

SIPA’S INJECTIONCOMPRESSION TECHNOLOGY XTREME KEY VALUES With XTREME injection-compression molding technology, SIPA has taken the production of PET preforms into a new dimension. All of these values, together with the possibility to reduced waste generation due to lighter preform production, come together to create a high-performance and high-quality preform production system, with lower costs than any other in the world today. PROCESS DESCRIPTION Floating Core BENEFITS VS TRADITIONAL INJECTION • Low injection pressure • Reduced stress on melt • Lower IV drop • Low tonnage system • Consistent...

2. ENERGY EFFICIENCY: BEST PERFORMANCE WITH UP & DOWNSTREAM INTEGRATION In combination with upstream and downstream integrated components, XTREME contributes to huge energy and CO2 savings. • 30% of energy cut in XTREME Renew configuration for production of preforms starting from 100% hot-washed post consumer flakes • 80% of CO2 emissions cut compared with a system making preforms from virgin PET • 25% of total electricity saved eliminating IR oven before blowing thanks to ISBM system integration (XTREME SINCRO) 1. LIGHTWEIGHT: EXTRA FREEDOM IN DESIGNING PREFORMS XTREME technology has the inherent...

4. OIL-FREE: SAFETY FIRST, CLEANLINESS ALWAYS XTREME is clean and safe for operators and food containers as it’s the first high-output preform system totally oil-free. • No need for complex hydraulic system for machine functions and to achieve high injection pressure • No oil leak contamination threat • No expensive exhaust oil disposal 3. 100% IN-LINE INSPECTION: TOTAL REAL-TIME CONTROL Inspection cameras installed both on the transfer wheel and on the post-mold cooling system check the neck and the body quality of the preforms produced, using a special software. • Up to 6 highly sophisticated...

6. HIGH UPTIME: THE FATEST MOLD CHANGEOVER EVER XTREME’s rapid mold change system enables the operator to completely replace all the molds on the carousel in no time, increasing machine availability. • Fast changeover time: less than 1 minute per mold • More time dedicated to production of preforms • Easy to use: cam-driven synchronism prevents operator error • Lowest TCO in the industry 5. FLEXIBILITY: TWO DIFFERENT PREFORMS AT THE SAME TIME! This rotary platform produces preforms in two different formats at the same time. The preforms can be of various weights, for bottles with distinct volumes,...

APPLICATIONS Material & containers type XTREME rotary preform injection-compression system produces a wide range of light weighted preforms with the freedom to create new and unique designs. There is almost no limitation on wall thickness, and L/t can be higher than that normally possible with injection molding. DOWNSTREAM AND UPSTREAM INTEGRATION: ALWAYS THE PERFECT MATCH The exceptional flexibility of XTREME stands on its ability to be connected with other key pieces of equipment in the total PET bottle making and filling process, upstream and downstream. This machine can be combined with other...

PREFORM PRODUCTION FROM UP TO 100% rPET The first “bottle-to-bottle” system in the world designed for the circular economy that produces food-grade preforms while saving the environment, energy and costs. XTREME RENEW patented technology, developed in collaboration with Erema, is unique in producing preforms from 100% rPET washed flakes in a single heat cycle. ADDED VALUES IN FEW NUMBERS 10% 10% lighter PET containers, leading to a competitive advantage in packaging. Lower TCO, up to -15%, compared to conventional recycling. Advantage in logistics: -20% logistics and transportation costs. Energy...

FROM PREFORMS TO FILLED BOTTLES ALONG THE SAME LINE The ultimate integration combining preform production, bottle blowing, filling and capping. XTREME SINCRO CUBE can be configured for a wide range of products. This solution is compact, flexible, easy to operate and extremely energy efficient. With the additional benefit of removing preform , total overall costs are significantly lower, while the quality of the finished bottle is better. Preform production up to bottle blowing version is available, excluding the filling if not needed. ADDED VALUES • The advantages of the1-step system and the...

ADDED VALUES • Reduced power consumption • High flexibility and ease of use • Lightweight capabilities with no performance loss • Clean solution THE FULLY INTEGRATED SYSTEM FROM 100% rPET TO FILLED BOTTLES XTREME RENEW SINCRO CUBE is a unique configuration for PET containers worldwide. This machine makes use of the whole Open System potentials in SIPA technology, giving the exceptional chance to produce preforms, blow and finally fill 100% rPET containers from hot washed flakes. • Wide range of fillers • Single thermal cycle allows for extremely low consumption XTREME RENEW Preform Production...
