Second Sidel line
To meet growing demand, Montgomery Waters has acquired an additional complete line solution from Sidel.
“In 2012 we moved to in house blowing and updated our labelling by upgrading our existing high speed line, increasing production capacity by 50 per cent, with a Sidel Matrix Combi, labeller and conveyors from Sidel,” comments Paul Delves, managing director of Montgomery Waters.
“Now increased demand from both consumers and our customers meant we needed to invest in an additional line – one that offered maximum flexibility and could be integrated with the solutions we had already installed to provide operator flexibility across our lines, reduce training needs and maintenance costs.”
The new complete line solution includes the latest generation of Sidel Matrix equipment: the compact blow-fill-cap Combi solution featuring a blower SBO14 and a filler SF300 FM, along with a rollfed labeller SL70 and conveying, shrink wrapping and palletisation equipment.
With the addition of the new line, Montgomery Waters will be able to produce PET water bottles in four formats, from 330ml to 2L, at speeds of up to 31,000 bottles per hour.
