Description

Sidel has developed a composite technology to produce grease-free moulds called Kohlox™

-Mould maintenance is simplified and time to maintain mould is reduced

-Moulds stay clean, which means that bottles stay clean as well

-Lighter mould bases, which has a positive impact on cam life

-Longer life for moulds through a decrease in abrasion-On a SBO20, this helps to increase production time by about 2.5 hours per month


Key message
Reduced maintenance and improved hygiene

Machine application

All Universal, GUPM and PUPM


Benefits

The new diamond-like coating (DLC) locking pins provide you with a longer life and shorter maintenance for the mould-support unit:

-One lubrication operation per week instead of two

-Forty extra minutes of production per month

-Lower reconditioning frequency, thanks to the low friction coefficient for interacting parts
