The latest investment includes two XFORM 500/200 preform systems, each engineered to deliver unparalleled performance. These machines are fitted with 200 cavities for a 28mm neck, setting a new benchmark as the biggest cavitation for a 28mm neck in the global market. This high cavitation, combined with a robust 155mm extruder, enables an exceptional throughput of 1700 kg/h, signifying the biggest throughput available for this configuration. This maximizes production volume and minimizes processing time, crucial for meeting the demands of a dynamic beverage market.
The decision by the South Asian's customer to repeatedly choose SIPA's XFORM platform is rooted in several critical advantages that directly contribute to their operational excellence:
- Best preform cost: SIPA's XFORM systems are engineered for the lowest conversion cost in the industry. This is achieved through extremely fast cycle times, reduced material stress due to continuous screw rotation, and optimized mold cooling layouts. For the customers, this translates directly into superior cost-effectiveness per preform, enhancing their competitive edge in a price-sensitive market.
- 6th time repetitive orders: This significant milestone highlights the deep trust and satisfaction that CGM places in SIPA. Building on previous successful installations, including the delivery of the previous 4 XFORM 500 preform systems and several stretch-blow molding machines, this new order is a clear testament to SIPA's consistent product reliability, technical support, and the tangible benefits delivered to the customer's bottom line and production capabilities over the years.
- Best energy saving: The XFORM technology is renowned for its industry-leading energy efficiency. Features such as servo-driven hydraulics, continuous low-speed screw rotation, and optimized cooling systems contribute to significantly lower energy consumption, typically consuming as little as 0.195 kW per kg of PET processed. Forthemthis translates into substantial operational cost reductions and aligns with their commitment to environmentally responsible practices.
- Throughput with 1700 kg/h: The integration of a powerful 155mm extruder allows these new XFORM systems to achieve an outstanding output of 1700 kg/h. This exceptional throughput capacity is vital for a market leader likeCGM enabling them to meet high production demands for various beverage types with unparalleled efficiency and speed.
- The biggest cavitation for 28mm neck in the global market: The 200-cavity molds for the 28mm neck are a testament to SIPA's advanced engineering and mold-making capabilities. This high cavitation maximizes the number of preforms produced per cycle, directly contributing to the overall high throughput and reinforcingtheir capacity to serve a broad consumer base with popular beverage formats.
SIPA equipment is being utilized to produce a wide range of bottles, from 250 mL for hot-fill drinks to two-liter bottles for CSD (Carbonated Soft Drinks) and mineral water, catering to the diverse needs of thelocal beverage market. This continued partnership highlights SIPA's role in empowering the customer to maintain its leadership position and deliver quality products to households nationwide.
