Used Sidel Combiblock for PET 18000 BPHTechnical Specifications &
Performance DataThe Sidel Combiblock is a synchronized blow-fill-cap
monoblock engineered for high-efficiency, reliable, and high-quality
container production within used bottling lines and industrial
packaging environments. Built in 2002, this integrated system combines
a rotary PET blow molder, a high-precision gravity filler, and a
robust capping turret into a single space-saving frame. The blowing
section features 16 cavities for continuous operation and is equipped
with an air recovery system to improve energy efficiency. The filling
zone includes a pressurized clean cabin with filters, while the
capping system handles advanced tethered closure profiles. Please note
that molds are not included and a chiller is not supplied with the
machine.Manufacturer: Sidel / Arol Combi Model: SBO 16 Series 2

Condition: Fully overhauled at the end of 2024Advanced Automation &
Control SystemsThis rotary platform supports steady, continuous motion
for stable heating, blowing, and filling cycles. The isobaric gravity
filling system utilizes 63 mechanical valves to ensure low-turbulence
filling, while the integrated pressurized cabin with air filters
guarantees a clean environment for sensitive beverage production.
Integrated machine controls streamline changeovers and monitoring,
while the air recovery system enhances sustainability and lowers
compressed air consumption. Quick adjustments for the Alaska neck
finish and the specialized Arol pick-and-place cap distribution system
reduce downtime across multi-format industrial packaging
operations.Production Line Integration CapabilitiesThe Combi system is
designed for seamless integration into a complete beverage production
line. By combining the Sidel SBO 16 blower, the ALSIM 63-valve gravity
filler, and the Arol 12-head capper into a single monoblock, it
eliminates intermediate air conveyors, reducing footprint and
container scuffing. It pairs effectively with downstream packaging
machinery and can operate inline with main conveyors, inspection
systems, and labeling equipment. The machine is well suited for PET
bottle handling and can be configured for a range of bottle sizes
depending on installed molds and process parameters.Machine Condition
& Maintenance HistoryThe complete Combi configuration was fully
overhauled and refurbished at the end of 2024, supporting reliable,
ready-for-operation performance for used bottling line projects. As a
second hand unit from world-class manufacturers (Sidel and Arol), this
machine offers proven durability, structural integrity, and
straightforward maintenance with widely available spare parts and
technical support.Operational Performance & VersatilityWith 16 blowing
cavities, 63 gravity filling valves, and a 12-head capping turret,
this Combiblock provides the throughput and consistency required for
demanding beverage production. The system is highly versatile and
capable of processing products such as beer, preserves, spirits, wine,
oil, milk, soft drinks, sparkling water, and still water. The included
Alaska neck finish capability allows targeted format production, while
the Arol capping turret is fully compatible with modern pre-threaded
plastic closures, specifically optimized for Gravity and Hexalite
Tethered GME30.28 NCB PT 1.00g cap profiles.Installation Requirements
& Site PreparationInstallation typically requires utilities common to
PET Combi blocks: high-pressure blow air, low-pressure plant air,
electrical power, and cooling capacity (external chiller not
included). Standard water and product connections are required for the
filler circuit and sanitation systems. A standard preform handling
solution (elevator, tipper, unscrambler) and cap feeders can be
integrated according to site needs. The monoblock layout supports
compact footprints and straightforward integration with existing
conveyors and line controls.Safety Standards & Compliance
CertificationThe Sidel Combiblock is built with robust guarding,
interlocked access points, and emergency stop circuits aligned with
international safety practices for beverage and packaging machinery.
The pressurized cabin with integrated filtration blocks external
contaminants, supporting hygienic operation during rinsing, filling,
and capping, enabling clean container production within modern
bottling lines tha
