Sidel has introduced the EvoFILL PET, a filling machine designed for water and other uncarbonated beverages in PET bottles.<\/p>\n

The equipment was created to help manufacturers raise output while using less floor space and maintaining product quality and line flexibility.<\/p>\n

A newly developed filling valve sits at the core of the machine.<\/p>\n

The valve was designed after a fluid dynamics study aimed at improving liquid movement during the filling process.<\/p>\n

According to the company, this can increase filling speed by as much as 20%, with capacity exceeding 90,000 bottles an hour in a more compact setup.<\/p>\n

Sidel said hygiene was a key part of the machine\u2019s development.<\/p>\n

The filling valve uses volumetric flowmeter control and a no-contact filling method, which removes the need to replace parts when changing fill levels.<\/p>\n

The company said this approach can simplify operations and support hygiene standards across different still beverage products.<\/p>\n

It includes automatic clean-in-place (CIP) dummy cups, shorter internal and external cleaning cycles, decreased thermal dispersion, and fewer parts and surfaces requiring cleaning.<\/p>\n

These features are intended to reduce downtime, as well as water and chemical use.<\/p>\n

According to Sidel, the EvoFILL PET\u2019s compact configuration can assist with line integration and leave more available space in the filling area.<\/p>\n

The machine is offered in several formats, including standalone, Combi and Super Combi configurations.<\/p>\n

It allows producers to choose an arrangement suited to current production needs while keeping scope for future portfolio or volume changes.<\/p>\n

Sidel filling product manager Tommaso Tegoni said: \u201cSidel\u2019s new EvoFILL PET has been engineered to help customers increase output while simplifying operations and maintaining the highest standards of beverage protection, delivering performance without compromise.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith fast and easy automatic changeovers, the extended lifespan of key components and optimised total cost of ownership, the EvoFILL PET is designed to deliver long-term value alongside high performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Sidel introduced a tool<\/a>, which is designed to estimate possible savings in primary packaging under different production scenarios.<\/p>\n

Available on the company\u2019s website, the packaging optimisation tool lets users adjust a series of variables and view projected yearly changes in costs and greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n
