SMI is among the largest worldwide producers of rotary stretch-blow moulders for the production of bottles in PET employed by the food & beverage industry, and in PP (Polypropylene) for the chemical, pharmaceutical and detergent sectors.

SMI stretch-blow moulders by Smiform division are designed in accordance with the most advanced technology and are available in:

» eight standard models, SR series, from 4 to 20 cavities, ideal for the industrial production of containers from 0,25 to 3 litres at the maximum speed of 36,000 bottles/hour*;

» two special models, SR HC - High Capacity series, from 4 to 6 cavities, specially designed for the stretch-blow moulding of “maxi” containers from 3.5 to 10 litres at the maximum speed of 6,600 bottles/hour*.

*The output rate varies according to the model chosen and to the container type and capacity.

Smiform division can count on an advanced CAD centre for the technical design and the graphic rendering of a wide choice of bottles. After an accurate analysis of customer’s request, the container initial design is further developed, enriched and at last turned into a detailed project. Smiform staff accurately analyzes preforms and containers and subjects them to severe tests of quality control.
In 2007 SMI introduced on its stretch-blow moulders the innovative ARS system (Air Recovery System), assembled on all SR models as a standard equipment; the ARS allows to recover up to 40% of the compressed air used during the process of bottle production.

Smiform stretch-blowmoulders are available both in their stand-alone version and as part of integrated systems of stretch-blowing, filling and capping.

Smiform ECOBLOC® series combines indeed the functions of a rotary stretch-blow moulder, of an electronic rotary filler and of a rotary capper.
ECOBLOC® integrated systems are the ideal solution for manufacturing, filling and capping PET and PP containers; particularly suitable for installation in still water, milk and edible oil bottling lines.
