Sipa 8/4

Technical Specifications & Performance Data The Sipa 8/4 is a compact, reliable Blow Molding Machine ideal for small-format PET bottle production within a used bottling line. Built for continuous duty in beverage production and industrial packaging environments, it combines proven mechanical design with essential utilities to support efficient operation. Manufacturer: Sipa Model: 8/4 Year of manufacture: 2001 Category: Blow Molding Machine Nominal output: up to 3,500 bph (bottles per hour) No. of cavities: 4 Bottle format: 0.06 L (60 ml) Primary container material: PET (preform-based stretch blow molding) Preform neck type: Corvaglia e 29/21 Included utilities: Compressor (1), Chiller (1) Not included: Preform unscrambler (0), Preforms tipper (0), Elevator (0), Air Recovery System (0) Condition: In storage Documentation: Manuals available Advanced Automation & Control Systems This second hand Sipa 8/4 offers straightforward operation through a centralized operator interface designed for routine parameter adjustments. Heating, stretching, and blowing parameters can be configured to suit the specified preform and neck finish, supporting consistent bottle quality for small-volume applications. Central control panel with recipe/parameter management for quick setup Multi-zone preform oven for precise thermal conditioning (typical for the series) Integrated alarms and diagnostics to assist maintenance and uptime Safety features included with guarding and interlocks around moving and hot sections Standard industrial three-phase electrical connection (exact ratings available on request) Production Line Integration Capabilities Designed for seamless integration in a used bottling line, the machine can be fed by a preform hopper/elevator and unscrambler (not included) and discharges to conveyors toward rinsing, filling, capping, and labeling systems. Its output matches compact lines handling small PET bottles for water, juice, functional shots, syrups, and other beverages. Upstream compatibility with preform tipper, elevator, and unscrambler systems Downstream integration with rinsing, filling, capping, labeling, inspection, and packing Supports beverage production workflows for water, juice, beer, wine, and more (downstream processes may include PET, glass, or aluminum packaging) Format changes within the 0.06 L range via appropriate molds and change parts Machine Condition & Maintenance History The unit is currently in storage with manuals available, facilitating recommissioning and operator training. As with any second hand industrial packaging equipment, a full inspection, routine service of the pneumatic and heating circuits, and verification of utilities are recommended prior to start-up. Wear parts and consumables should be assessed to align with production targets. Operational Performance & Versatility With four cavities and a 3,500 bph nominal speed, this machine delivers repeatable bottle quality for compact formats where dimensional accuracy and lightweighting are critical. The integrated compressor and chiller simplify site deployment, while the Corvaglia e 29/21 neck finish supports reliable closure compatibility in downstream capping. Whether the line fills water, juice, energy shots, mixers, or promotional samples, this PET blower provides the upstream container supply needed for continuous throughput in beverage production. Installation Requirements & Site Preparation Stable, level floor area with clearances for access, safety guards, and ventilation Industrial three-phase electrical supply compatible with the machine’s control system Compressed air supply sized for high-pressure blowing and low-pressure pneumatics Chilled water loop connected to the included chiller for oven and mold cooling Ambient conditions suitable for PET preform storage and consistent heating Provision for upstream preform handling (tipper/elevator/unscrambler) and downstream conveyors Safety Standards & Compliance Certification The machine is equipped with safety guards and interlocks around the oven and blowing station, supporting safe operation and maintenance. Non-product-contact construction and easy-to-clean access points align with hygiene practices common in beverage production environments. Final compliance with local regulations and plant safety policies should be verified during installation and commissioning.
