SMI Group product description
After applying it to secondary packaging machines, SMI extended the ERGON design concept to its stretch-blow moulders and launched a brand-new machine series called EBS (Electronic Blowing System) ERGON, where advanced electronics took the lion's share in the complete redesign of the entire equipment. The EBS ERGON project aims at fully switching towards all- electronic processes, which will allow to get rid of the whole of mechanical movements and related cams, actually making the blower a cam-less machine.
The new range is composed of 7 models, from 4 to 16 cavities, suitable for the production of bottles up to 3 litres, with a maximum output of 2,100 bph/cavity (0.5 L). The EBS ERGON series of rotary stretch blow-molders ensures high performances in the stretch blow-molding of PET, PEN and PP bottles, mainly used in the “food & beverage” sector. Thanks to high-tech components, minimized maintenance and operational costs and excellent quality/price ratio, the EBS ERGON series is the ideal solution for the production of plastic containers of different capacities, featuring various shapes, from the most simple to the most sophisticated ones.
