Drawing on over 35 years of profound expertise in Injection Stretch Blow Molding (ISBM) technology, SIPA proudly introduces the ECS SP130—a machine entirely conceived and manufactured in Italy. This isn't merely an evolution; it's a significant leap forward, meticulously engineered to set a new global standard for productivity, quality, and flexibility in packaging production.

Unprecedented Performance and Quality

The ECS SP130 is built for demanding production environments. Its robust architecture allows for blowing pressures up to 38 bar, guaranteeing superior quality even for containers with the most complex designs.

  • Clean Operation: Embracing a "Clean Tech" design, the system eliminates any risk of oil contamination in bottles, safeguarding product integrity, which is critical for food and beverage applications.
  • Precision and Efficiency: The integration of valve gate preform tooling streamlines processing. At the core, a servo-driven extruder ensures a homogeneous melt while improving energy efficiency and lowering maintenance. The balanced injection press, featuring four robust tie bars, guarantees stable molding and consistent preform quality.

Revolutionary Productivity and Versatility

SIPA's commitment to technological advancement is clearly evident in the ECS SP130's game-changing output and flexible cavity configurations.

  • Exceptional Output: In a double-row setup, the ECS SP130 achieves a maximum output of 12,500 bottles per hour. This remarkable figure significantly surpasses equivalent competitor platforms, enabling manufacturers to confidently meet rising market demands.
  • Unique Flexibility: The platform offers unique versatility with both double-row and single-row tooling installation:
    • Double-row configurations can handle up to 32 cavities for standard neck finishes (28mm) and up to 8 cavities for wide necks (90mm, max body diameter 98mm).
    • The single-row configuration allows for 16 cavities (28mm neck finishes) and can even accommodate a 1-cavity setup for extra-wide jars (up to 168mm neck finish and 215mm body diameter).
  • Protecting Your Investment: The machine features an adjustable extruder height, allowing for the shared use of Hot Runner systems across molds with the same cavitation. Crucially, the ECS SP130 offers seamless interchangeability with single-row ECS SP80 tooling, maximizing existing tooling investments and enhancing production adaptability. Quick mold changes are standard, minimizing downtime.
