EvoBLOW PH: Bottle Preferential Heating Blower Machine

Sidel EvoBLOW PH

Our most-reliable and cost-efficient solution for your industrial needs, the Sidel EvoBLOW PH blower adds a new dimension to our preferential heating technology.

It combines the benefits of a proven PH process with a modular EvoBLOW blower to support FHPC production. Sidel’s preferential heating process controls material distribution for ideal container shape and wall thickness:

Heating modules equipped with infrared (IR) lamps

Selective heating via series of reflecting and non-reflecting zones on reflectors positioned opposite IR lamps

Constant preform rotation for repeatability of differentiated heating profile

Reliable, mechanical angular positioning of preform from preform-loading to bottle outfeed

Precisely targeted temperature profile for uniform material distribution

Neck orientation

When cap orientation is needed, an in-oven indexation system is available. This is a simple method of orienting the cap according to bottle shape, product pouring and label orientation. The machine configuration and output are customised accordingly and evaluated by Sidel experts.

Appealing, high-quality designs

The process enables a large range of packaging applications for flat containers, including:

bottle-section ratios from 1.6 to 2.5 (length/width);
opaque, coloured preforms;
thick preforms;
complex base-forming;
flat shoulders or bases;
and off-centre necks.

Simple, reliable process

Our electrical stretching processes help increase output, process repeatability and reliability.

More robust construction
Maximum process reliability and ergonomics
Homogenous thermal conditioning of preform with enhanced ventilation
Wide preferential-heating time slot ensures process stability and energy savings
Precise process-time control with direct transfer from oven to blowing wheel
Bottle quality can be further improved by our unique, patented blowing-process control and self-regulation system, Intelliblower™

Reduced total cost of ownership (TCO)

EvoBLOW PH blower technology drastically reduces TCO compared to previous generations:

Up to 40% higher production speed with same preform/bottle
Up to 30% reduction in maintenance time
Up to 26% reduction in electricity and air consumption
Up to 35% reduction in high-pressure air consumption when equipped with optional AirEco2 air-recovery system

Improved production flexibility

EvoBLOW PH offers great production flexibility thanks to fast and error-free changeovers:

Motorised Bottle Switch for gravimetric preform feeders: easy, tool-less part replacement and automatic mechanical element positioning for immediate production efficiency
TIME SAVED: 25min to 8min (Data for SBO 22-cavity)
Motorised Bottle Switch for ovens: automatic and easy mechanical element positioning for immediate bottle quality and heating performance
TIME SAVED: 40min to 7min (Data for SBO 22-cavity)
Simple reflector replacement for PH-container changeovers as needed
