Well though-out block philosophy

The ErgoBloc LM promotes block technology decisively. How? It lives the block idea with such a great determination and
beyond compare. The ErgoBloc LM does not only combine individual machines but it also is designed as a holistic system
with one central unit each for the control system, the drive and the operation.

At a glance
− Functions: Stretch blow moulding, labelling, filling and capping
− Output: up to 55,000 containers per hour
− Processing range:
 Non-carbonated water
 Cylindrical PET containers (optional: square containers)
 Volume of 0.2 to 2.0 litres
 Plastic reel-fed labels
− Technical highlights:
 All functions are optimised for lightweight containers
 Selective labelling for continuous operation mode
 Electronic PFR valve for infinitely-adjustable regulation
of the filling speed
 Entire operation by only one person
 Different option packages for cost-efficient customisation

Small footprint Focus on the essentials


With its dimensions of 18 x 12.5 metres, this machine requires The ErgoBloc LM has been planned as integral machine and it is
up to 30 percent less space than the conventional block designed exactly for one defined application. This allows to go

The block is designed as one unit in which all essential control
and function elements are centrally combined. This way, just Trouble-free continuous operation
one operator can easily operate the entire ErgoBloc LM on his Full power with no breaks: The labelling module automatically

Certified ecological efficiency:


Machines with enviro certification
At KRONES, the blue enviro certification stands for excellent ecological efficiency. Products that bear the enviro label have proven in an
objective test procedure that they efficiently use energy and media, and that they produce in an environmentally-friendly way. The
requirements are defined by the EME standard that has been developed by the TÜV SÜD (technical inspection authority) for assessing
production plants. The enviro test procedure has also been certified by TÜV SÜD as an independent expert. Therefore, you can be sure
that an enviro label stands for ecological efficiency.

This is why the ErgoBloc LM is enviro-classified:

− Energy efficiency
 Increased station performance during stretch blow moulding and labelling
 Reduced energy consumption thanks to the omission of transfer starwheels
and redundant components
 Height-adjustable base thermal shield and frequency-controlled neck finish
cooling system
 Energy-efficient separated vacuum during labelling
− Media efficiency
 Efficient cooling of the entire block
 Air Wizard Pro air recovery system
 No compressed-air consumption during the filling process
− Environmental compatibility
 Use of enviro-compliant lubricants
 Returnable CIP media
