This used Sidel blow molding machine is an industrial-grade solution for high-speed PET bottle production in

beverage and food packaging. Overhauled and guaranteed, it offers reliable performance for manufacturers

seeking to expand capacity or upgrade an existing used bottling line. Designed for PET containers with a

current setup for 1.5L formats, it is suitable for beverage production including water, soft drinks, beer, wine,

spirits, milk, and oil. The Sidel engineering platform ensures consistent blowing quality and robust

operation in demanding industrial packaging environments.

 

Manufactured by Sidel, this second hand SBO 16 S2 features 16 cavities and a nominal speed of 25,000

bph, making it a strong fit for medium-to-high throughput operations. Its rotary architecture and

counterclockwise working direction support smooth handling and efficient cycle continuity. This machine is

available as seen and can be integrated into existing PET lines or operated as part of a standalone preform-

to-bottle module within a broader packaging machinery setup.

Advanced Automation & Control Systems

The Sidel SBO 16 S2 platform is designed for stable heating, precise preform handling, and consistent

blowing parameters. Standard operator interfaces support quick recipe changes and format management

to maintain uptime. Safety guards and interlocks protect operators while allowing easy access for routine

adjustments and maintenance. Quick-change mechanisms on format-related parts help reduce downtime

when switching bottle sizes.

Production Line Integration Capabilities

This blow molding machine integrates smoothly with upstream preform handling (tippers, elevators,

unscramblers) and downstream conveyors, inspection, and packaging equipment. It can operate inline

within a complete PET beverage production line or as a standalone module feeding containers to filling,

labeling, and capping stations. Format changeovers accommodate typical beverage bottle ranges, with the

current configuration optimized for 1.5L bottles.

Machine Condition & Maintenance History

The machine is overhauled, tested, and guaranteed, with condition described as ready for use. It is offered

with compatible spare parts availability and can also be supplied as seen. A 6-month guarantee provides

additional confidence in performance and reliability for second hand operations.

Operational Performance & Versatility

Engineered for PET, the SBO 16 S2 is suitable for a wide scope of beverage and food applications, including

sparkling water, still water, soft drinks, beer, wine, spirits, milk, and edible oil. Its 16-cavity rotary design

delivers efficient oven heating, accurate preform transfer via spindles and grippers, and robust blowing

consistency for uniform bottle quality across production batches.
