New Maker of PET Bottle Machines
Builder of filling and capping machines for dairy products and vegetable oils rounds out product line.
Serac Group of France (U.S. office in Carol Stream, Ill.) has long built filling and capping machines for dairy products and vegetable oils. In order to provide a total packaging solution, Serac recently introduced its first PET reheat stretch-blow molding machine. The model SBL (Serac Blow Linear) can mold bottles up to 5L at speeds from 2400 to 12,000 containers/hr. It is built by Serac’s Malaysian branch. The machine is designed for low energy consumption with low-temperature, uniform heating using reflectors and individually adjustable lamps. The blow molder can be integrated with Serac Combox filling/capping systems by means of a patented bottle transfer system that converts the intermittent blowing action into continuous, rotary motion for filling and capping.
