The new blow moulding machine

for the production of PET containers.

Here is XTRA XTRA is the new rotary blow moulder for PET containers designed by
SIPA, which combines technology evolution with productivity revolution.
This platform is designed to achieve top performance levels with the
highest energy saving at the best possible speed in the market. XTRA is
actually the first blow moulding machine in its range to work with the
highest bhc in the industry, with the widest process angle and the
best TCO overall, combined with a user experience which is as basic as
it is innovative. An unprecedented achievement.

One of the most distinctive elements in the new XTRA is its high flexibility during the production

A packaging
oriented machine
Care for packaging is a prerequisite for XTRA.
The experience of SIPA in the PET sector has led specialists to
increasing optimisation of mechanical movements and preform
or bottle transport within the machine to ensure smooth and
safe handling.
The use of cutting-edge grippers and power stretching
makes it possible to delicately handle preform necks and
optimise resin use. Also, the best process angle provided by
XTRA allows for easier processing even of complex containers
with top performances.

XTRA is a concentrate of technology, but most important of
benefits: the highest bhc output in the industry, the widest process
angle among its competitors, energy saving across the board,
extreme user-friendliness, plus a totally open system.This perfect
combination of performance, speed, quality levels and saving leads
to a reduction in Total Cost of Ownership by 25%. XTRA is
the development of PET blow moulders in every respect.
