Reduced production costs and uncompromising quality
The Combox block allows to generate significant savings on production costs without compromising on quality – quite the contrary. Again a salient equipment choice criterion on the Japanese market.?On-site stretch blow moulding allows to save on raw material, transportation and storage, while avoiding to discard bottles scratched and distorted during handling. Positive transfer from blowing to capping also contributes to protect containers from any damage.

In-lign bottle manufacturing brings up to 15% increase in productivity compared with other solutions as it avoid to tare containers.
Serac’s weight filling technology benefits from an ??Automatic Weighing Instrument?? (AWI) type approval ; it thus allows to reduce drastically sampling and control procedures, as well as to avoid to overfill containers to make sure to conform with the nominal quantity printed on the packaging.?The Combox block also benefits from Serac’s fast tool changeover systems and CIP solutions, which are optimized to reduce downtime.?It can thus reach an output of 18 000 bottles / hour on a 500 ml capacity, with an efficiency rate over 98%.
Finally, the Combox block can be operated by a single person, which also generates savings on labour costs.
All manufacturers of liquid personal care products can make use of the benefits of the Combox block to develop their market shares on highly segmented and competitive markets, by playing with PET properties to stand out in the shelves. They can become trendsetters in packaging with new shapes or new dosing concepts, and offer wider ranges at lower costs using PET transparency.
