Sidel SBO2

Technical Specifications & Performance DataThe Sidel SBO2 is a robust second hand blow molding solution designed for reliable PET container production in beverage production and industrial packaging environments. This used bottling line component delivers consistent output for small-format bottles with efficient air recovery and integrated utilities.Manufacturer / Model: Sidel SBO2Year: 1992Production speed: up to 3,000 bph (bottles per hour)No. of cavities: 2Container type: PET (preform neck finish 1881)Air Recovery System: IncludedPreform handling peripherals: Preform elevator, tipper, and unscrambler not includedMachine status: In productionWeight: approx. 9,000 kgDocumentation: Manuals availableAdvanced Automation & Control SystemsThis Sidel SBO2 features PLC-based controls with a centralized operator panel for straightforward setup and monitoring. Recipe-driven parameters streamline format changes within the supported sizes, while alarms and diagnostic functions support fast troubleshooting. Safety features are included, with interlocked guards and emergency stops designed to protect operators and maintain uptime. Electrical integration is ready for standard industrial three-phase supply and can be interfaced with upstream and downstream equipment in a used bottling line.Production Line Integration CapabilitiesEngineered for seamless integration, the SBO2 connects efficiently with preform feed systems as well as downstream rinsing, filling, capping, and labeling equipment. Its compact two-cavity design makes it a practical choice for upgrading an existing second hand beverage production line focused on small formats. Whether the downstream operation handles water, juice, beer, or wine, the machine can be synchronized via conveyors and line controls. While this blow molder is dedicated to PET, it integrates well within industrial packaging lines that may also process glass or aluminum containers on the filling and packing side.Machine Condition & Maintenance HistoryCurrently in production, this machine demonstrates stable performance at its rated speed. The overall condition reflects continuous operation with routine care, and the availability of manuals supports ongoing maintenance, part identification, and operator training. As a second hand unit, it offers proven reliability with the advantage of immediate deployment in a used bottling line environment.Operational Performance & VersatilityOptimized for PET preforms with 1881 neck finish, the SBO2 excels in producing small, on-the-go formats. Typical applications include still or sparkling water, functional drinks, juice-based beverages, and promotional SKUs for beer or wine mixology lines that use PET for sampling or event packaging. The included air recovery system helps reduce high-pressure air consumption, contributing to lower operating costs. With two cavities, changeovers are efficient within the specified bottle sizes, supporting agile beverage production schedules.Installation Requirements & Site PreparationFlooring and support: Rigid, level foundation suitable for a 9,000 kg machineElectrical: Industrial three-phase power supply (specs per manuals)Line connectivity: Conveyor interfaces to preform feed and downstream rinsing, filling, capping, labeling, and packingSafety Standards & Compliance CertificationThe machine includes guarding, interlocked doors, and emergency stops to support safe daily operation. Safety features are designed to protect personnel while preserving productivity, aligning with the hygiene and cleanliness expectations of beverage production environments. Cleanable surfaces and controlled air pathways help maintain bottle quality before rinsing, filling, capping, and labeling. Manuals are available to guide safe operation, preventive maintenance, and compliance checks within your facility’s quality and safety management systems.
