BALTIMORE Used Bottling Line SIDEL for still water 14400 bph

Technical Specifications & Performance Data This used bottling line is an integrated SIDEL-based solution for PET still water, engineered for consistent throughput and high line efficiency in beverage production and industrial packaging environments. Nominal speed: 14,400 bottles/hour Bottle formats: 0.06 L, 0.50 L, 0.75 L Container type: PET (neck handling 25–30 mm) Product: Water (still) Core block: Sidel Combi 8-40-8 (SBO 8 blow molder + 40-valve filler + 8-head capper), year 2006 Secondary packaging: CERMEX tray packer for stable tray bundles (small and medium PET formats) Air & cooling: SIAD TEMPO 2 high-pressure compressor 1,500 m³/h; Baltimore Aircoil BAC F-100 evaporative cooling support Conveying: Sidel conveyors for balanced accumulation and smooth transfer Condition: Ready for operation with safety features included Manufacturers involved: Sidel, Cermex, SIAD, Baltimore Aircoil Advanced Automation & Control Systems The line operates with a centralized PLC and HMI architecture typical of Sidel Combi installations, providing synchronized control of blow molding, filling and capping. Recipe management supports quick format changes between 0.06 L, 0.50 L and 0.75 L bottles. Real-time diagnostics, alarm logging and production counters enable stable OEE. Electrical integration supports coordinated downstream communication with packaging, labeling and inspection modules. Safety functions include interlocked guards, emergency stop circuits and fault monitoring to maintain operator safety and product integrity. Production Line Integration Capabilities Designed as a compact used bottling line, the Combi block reduces conveyors between processes and simplifies integration with upstream preform loading and cap feeding, as well as downstream tray packing, palletizing and quality control. The system can be interfaced with rinsing, labeling and date-coding equipment through standard line control signals. Quick-change neck handling and cap tooling facilitate format swaps within the PET range. The platform is well suited for second hand line expansions or integration into existing beverage production layouts. Machine Condition & Maintenance History The line is offered ready for operation, presenting a clean, production-capable state. Core components from 2006 have been maintained for reliability, with safety guarding and protections included. Documentation and maintenance records can be made available for review, and test procedures can be supported to validate performance prior to commissioning. Operational Performance & Versatility Optimized for still water, the volumetric filling technology ensures accurate dosing with low losses, while the 8-head capper handles 25–30 mm closures with consistent torque. Neck-handling PET transport reduces mechanical contact for high-quality surfaces and faster format changes. The CERMEX tray packer forms robust bundles for efficient logistics. While this line targets PET still water, it can be integrated in plants that also process juice, flavored water or other beverages, and can interface with broader packaging areas that handle glass or aluminum via appropriate peripheral equipment. Installation Requirements & Site Preparation Footprint: Compact Combi layout; detailed 2D/3D layout available for line fit and material flow Electrical: Industrial three-phase supply with appropriate grounding and protections Compressed air: High-pressure air for blow molding plus plant air for actuators and utilities Cooling water: Evaporative cooling or chilled water loop to support blow molding and utilities Process utilities: Potable water supply for rinsing interfaces if installed, drain connections and CIP compatibility as required Site preparation: Level floor, access for maintenance, clearances for conveyors, cap and preform logistics Safety Standards & Compliance Certification The line includes full machine guarding with interlocked access doors, emergency stops at strategic points and safety-rated control functions consistent with modern machinery practices. Hygienic design around the filler supports water bottling requirements with cleanable surfaces and food-grade contact materials. The equipment is built to meet prevailing industrial safety and hygiene standards for beverage production; conformity documentation and risk assessments can be provided to support site validation and compliance programs.
