From blow moulding to capping: Sidel's line to Brazilian Coca-Cola

A Sidel Super Combi plant was installed at Coca-Cola Femsa's plant in Jundiai (Brazil) to boost productivity and meet increased demand for CSD (Carbonated Soft Drink). The Sidel Super Combi is an innovative, all-in-one solution that integrates five key units – preform feeder, blower, labeller, filler/capper, and cap feeder – into a compact smart system. This design offers up to a thirty percent reduction in footprint compared to standalone equipment, making it an ideal choice Coca-Cola Femsa which was seeking effectiveness and space savings. Sidel’s new solution replaced the existing wet block equipment and seamlessly integrated with the remaining production set up.

Following the installation of the Super Combi, the line now operates with a speed of 39,000 bottles per hour – an unprecedented level of productivity for Femsa’s CSD operations. It can also handle up to ten bottle formats from 0,2 to 2 litres, while dramatically reducing the overall footprint of the line with a more efficient use of space within the facility.

Coca-Cola Femsa utilises 100% recycled PET preforms in its bottle production, and the Sidel Super Combi is fully compatible with rPET.
