Used combi KRONES contiform S8 + mecafill triblockTechnical
Specifications & Performance DataThis rotary blow-fill-cap monoblock
is engineered for high-quality PET bottle handling and beverage
production. Manufactured by Krones, it integrates a Contiform S8
stretch blow molding section with a Mecafill filling block and a
Krones capping unit, delivering efficient performance for still and
sparkling water. Designed for industrial packaging environments and
suitable for integration into a used bottling line or as a second hand
standalone system, it combines precision, reliability, and reduced
footprint.Manufacturer: KronesModel configuration: Contiform S8 +

Control SystemsThe monoblock features an integrated automation suite
designed to simplify operation and reduce changeover times. The
Siemens PLC platform coordinates the stretch blow molding, filling,
and capping phases, while the Krones HMI provides intuitive process
visualization, recipe selection for multiple bottle formats, and
operator diagnostics. Rotary motion ensures smooth container transfer
between stations, minimizing scuffs and misalignment. Electronic
setpoints for speed and temperature profiles improve consistency
across shifts and batches. Safety interlocks and guarded access points
support reliable operation during beverage production.Production Line
Integration CapabilitiesEngineered for seamless integration, this
monoblock can operate inline with upstream preform feeding and
downstream conveyors, labelers, inspectors, and secondary packaging
machinery. It fits modern beverage production and industrial packaging
layouts, supporting flexible format changes across 0.5L, 1.0L, and
1.5L PET bottles. The integrated design reduces footprint and transfer
points compared to separate machines, enhancing efficiency in both new
installations and upgrades of a used bottling line.Machine Condition &
Maintenance HistoryThe machine is refurbished and guaranteed, ready
for operation with compatible spare parts available. It is supplied in
excellent working condition, tested, and prepared for immediate
deployment. A 6-month warranty underscores its reliability and
provides added assurance for second hand equipment buyers.Operational
Performance & VersatilityThis tri-bloc configuration is optimized for
water bottling, including both still and sparkling products. The blow
molding section with 8 molds delivers stable output, while the
Mecafill block ensures consistent fill accuracy. The Krones capping
unit matches the Alaska neck finish commonly used in PET water
applications, promoting tight sealing and line stability. The
systemâs rotary architecture lowers handling stress, supports
high line efficiency, and helps maintain bottle integrity across
multiple formats in beverage production.Installation Requirements &
Site PreparationInstallation requires a stable industrial floor and
adequate space for rotary monoblock access, routine maintenance, and
format changeovers. Utilities include electrical power at 400 V,
3-phase, 50 Hz, and compressed air suitable for high-pressure stretch
blow molding at approximately 40 bar. Standard connections for process
air and utility lines should be provisioned to meet continuous-duty
operation and to maintain stable blowing and filling
performance.Safety Standards & Compliance CertificationThe monoblock
is equipped with perimeter guarding, interlocked access doors, and
emergency stop stations consistent with modern beverage packaging
machinery. Hygienic design principles and stainless-steel contact
areas within the filling environment support food and beverage safety.
Operator-friendly controls and clear HMI alarms further contribute to
safe, efficient daily operation in demanding production settings.
