Blow Molding Machine Sidel SBO 14 This used Sidel SBO 14 blow molding
machine is a proven rotary system engineered for high‑efficiency PET
bottle production. Built in 1999, it delivers up to 18,000 bottles per
hour and is well suited for beverage production and industrial
packaging applications on used bottling lines. With 14 molds and
robust mechanical design, it offers consistent performance for large
formats such as 1.5L, making it a reliable choice for second hand PET
bottling operations across water, soft drinks, beer, wine, spirits,
milk, and edible oil segments. Manufactured by Sidel engineering, this
model integrates smoothly within complete bottling lines or as a
standalone blow molder feeding downstream filling, capping, and
labeling equipment. It is available as seen, or fully overhauled and
guaranteed, providing flexibility depending on your project timeline
and budget. Designed for PET containers, it combines production
stability, format change practicality, and industrial durability
required in modern beverage production and packaging machinery.

series is designed for reliable, repeatable operation with centralized
control and user‑friendly handling. Typical features include clear
HMI interfaces, recipe management for format changes, and monitored
heating and blowing parameters to stabilize quality at high speeds.
Integrated safety guarding and interlocks protect operators while
maintaining accessibility for routine adjustments and maintenance.
Quick‑change components support efficient format transitions,
contributing to reduced downtime and consistent line efficiency.
Production Line Integration Capabilities This blow molding machine
integrates easily with upstream preform handling and downstream
conveyors, fillers, cappers, and labelers within a complete used
bottling line. It supports inline operation or can run as a standalone
unit feeding existing packaging machinery. The rotary design ensures
smooth bottle transfer and stable handling for PET containers,
particularly in the 1.5L range, with the flexibility to adapt to other
formats through appropriate change parts and settings. Machine
Condition & Maintenance History The unit is available ready for
operation, as seen, or fully refurbished and guaranteed. When supplied
overhauled, critical systems are inspected and serviced to restore
dependable performance, and a 6‑month warranty is provided.
Ready‑to‑use supply options with compatible spare parts help
reduce commissioning time and mitigate startup risks in second hand
industrial packaging projects. Operational Performance & Versatility
Optimized for PET bottle blowing, the SBO 14 delivers stable output
for a wide range of beverage and liquid food applications: still and
sparkling water, carbonated soft drinks, beer, wine, spirits, milk,
and edible oil. The 14‑cavity rotary platform balances speed with
quality, providing uniform heating and blowing for consistent bottle
weight and geometry. Its design supports high‑uptime operation in
demanding beverage production environments. Installation Requirements
& Site Preparation The machine requires adequate floor space for the
rotary blow wheel, oven, and service access, plus utilities typical
for PET blow molding: electrical supply, high‑pressure compressed
air, low‑pressure air for pneumatics, and a cooling circuit or
chiller for process stability. A level foundation and proper conveyor
interfaces are recommended to ensure smooth integration and reliable
performance. Safety Standards & Compliance Certification Comprehensive
guarding, interlocked access doors, and emergency stop circuits
support operator safety and compliance with industrial norms. The
hygienic and maintainable design is suitable for food and beverage
environments, with materials and layouts that facilitate routine
cleaning and inspection.
