Autopack and SIDE Set Sights on Personal & Home Care Blow Moulded Packaging
The move opens new markets to both Autopack and SIDE with particular focus on enabling the onsite production of PET bottles and containers using fast, cost-effective, technology in the personal and home care sectors.
To meet the range of requirements SIDE manufacturers three PET blowers. The Model 1002e can produce up to 4,000 containers per hour and targets flexible applications. From wide mouth or oval to asymmetric and funnel necks, the 1002e can switch formats easily. It targets bottles of 200ml to 3 litres in size.
The Model 2004e can handle up to 7,000 containers per hour with the aim of guaranteeing operational simplicity and high reliability in large-scale packaging manufacturing facilities. Like the 1002e, the 2004e is designed for bottle ranges of 200ml to 3 litres with a pitch of 160mm distance.
Jonathon Stewart, sales director, Autopack, said: “The partnership is an opportunity to expand our portfolio, and the personal and homecare sectors are the perfect starting points. Our target market are medium range customers demanding the highest quality blow moulding machines, so whether you require large 50 litre water tanks or 250ml oil bottles, we have the versatility and performance to elevate your production capabilities.”
Angel Catalan, EMEA sales manager, SIDE, said: “Our partnership with Autopack will build our profile in the UK market; one that we feel has enormous potential. Linking with Autopack means we can learn so much from their expertise and experience in automation and packaging line solutions.”
