beltfor packaging linescompact

This patented technology ensures operators’ safety, easier operations and optimal production efficiency by significantly reducing the footprint and the height for preform infeed. Sidel EasyFEED™ is an innovative, compact and safe ground-level preform feeder for PET production lines. Based on the Sidel Matrix™ standard architecture, it features a modular approach to preform feeder design. Its compact design prioritises safety, user-friendliness, maximised production uptime and product quality. It is suitable for all Sidel SBO Matrix and SBO Universal™ blowing machines, Combi solutions and Super Combi, either new or installed. Safe and easy to operate The quick and easy access of EasyFEED makes control, changeovers and maintenance operations much simpler: ■ Ground-level Installation for improved visibility, accessibility, intervention and operation safety ■ Easy implementation in the workshop, irrespective of space constraints: reduction of footprint up to 62% and reduction of height up to 56% compared to traditional preform infeed systems ■ The Human Machine Interface (HMI) ensures truly intuitive navigation with quick setting points and immediate response timea Preform integrity Gentle preform handling from hopper to oven is essential for the customer's final bottle quality: ■ Shortened preform path (up to 27% less) results in fewer damaged preforms ■ The preforms are fully protected from dust ail along their path to ensure hygienic production ■ Very low preform fall and limited recycling loop for increased preform integrity ■ Once vertically positionned, the preforms are supported by the neck flange ■ Smooth contact of motorised brushes on preforms
