968 - Bottle switch View O&U sheet
Description

-Sidel's patented Bottle Switch™ improves blow-moulder flexibility by reducing the mould changeover time to less than a minute, cutting downtime in half. This semi-automatic solution is easy for operators and requires no tools.

-The Bottle Switch™  is declined in 5 packs to match to customer needs.

-The Pack 2 contains a set of mould body changeover

-PCC upgrade :

- Only for pack #2 : an upgrade of the PCC version to V2.02 - if the current PCC is ICC 7000 type - is no more mandatory. A software patch, integrated into the V1.10, V1.11, V1.12R1, V1.15R and V2.00R1, was built in order to keep the existing hardware*.*Some exceptions can subsist

Benefits

-Efficiency: 50% less production downtime with only one operator

-Cost optimisation: Less downtime means better TCO

-Safety: Semi-automated system with fewer manual operations

970 - Universal blowing blocks on S2 View O&U sheet
Description

-On each blowing station, a single assembly combines the nozzle cylinder and the valves for preblow, blowing & exhaust.

-By combining the nozzle cylinder and the valves, the dead volume of air is reduced, thus reducing the amount of air needed to pressurize the system.

-Time spent for maintenance is reduced as the valves are easier to dismantle.

Benefits

-Universal technology installed on Series 2 machines results in reduction of air dead volume by reducing the air circuit pipes

-Constant 40 bars air savings, independently of process parameters

-Air savings of up to 20% for a 500ml on a S2 one D34

-Reliable assembly with easier maintenance

-Compatible with air recovery option and with nozzle safety cam
