Label-free bottles: the new eco-design solution
In primary packaging solutions, sustainability is expressed through creativity, with the design of visually appealing containers that capture consumers’ attention, and through functionality, with the development of lightweight, rPET, and label-free bottles.
In Portugal, Carvalhelhos, a company that has always prioritized sustainability and environmental responsibility, produces new PET and rPET containers with and without plastic labels, thanks to the EBS 8 KL ERGON stretchblow moulder by SMI.
Carvalhelhos blow moulder not only produces traditional PET and rPET bottles that require label application, but it is also equipped with specialized moulds designed by SMIMEC for the stretch-blow moulding of 0.33 L, 0.5 L, and 1.5 L flat-bottom rPET bottles without paper or plastic labels. This eco-friendly solution eliminates the need for glue and additional paper or plastic materials, simplifying the recycling process and ensuring higher purity in recycled PET.
The area dedicated to the label has been removed, eliminating the ribs typically found in traditional bottles. Therefore, an innovative combination of embossed and debossed engravings on the bottle body provides additional space for the brand logo and essential product information, which would traditionally appear on a label. This approach also allows for the inclusion of information in braille.
Labels-free bottles. Advantages.
For the environment and the consumer:
• Eco-friendly solution, as the PET bottle is 100% recyclable.
• Better compliance with environmental regulations regarding recycling.
• Easier recycling process, since there is no label to remove. Even when made from recyclable materials, labels on traditional bottles must be separated from the container during recycling.
• No need for glue in label application.
• Reduced packaging waste, resulting in less material to recycle.
For the bottler:
• Reduced costs for raw material purchases (labels and glue).
• Lower storage costs for raw materials.
• Simplified and optimized production process, as a labelling machine is no longer required.
• Easier and more efficient PET recycling, since there is no need to separate the label from the container. SMI, through its subsidiary SMIMEC, takes care of the entire production phase of the moulds installed on stretch-blow moulding machines. To meet the needs of customers who wish to produce both traditional bottles intended for label application and bottles without labels, SMIMEC manufactures special couplings to be inserted in the moulds mounted on SMI stretch-blow moulders. Size changeover operations to switch from one type of bottle to another are extremely simple and fast as it is sufficient to replace the plug section in the mould.
The rotary stretch-blow moulding system from the EBS KL ERGON series is a state-of-the-art, intelligent and interconnected system, equipped with the most modern automation and IoT technologies, with strong ecocompatibility characteristics and different benefits.
Management and control benefits
The system supplied by SMI uses an advanced automation system called MotorNet System®, which ensures the constant maintenance of the optimal processing parameters during the entire production cycle, allows the direct modification of the machine settings from the operator panel, simplifies format change operations and offers the possibility of temporarily disabling one or more moulds if necessary.

Energy-saving benefits
The stretch-blow moulder is equipped with a system of energy-efficient thermo-reflective panels in composite ceramic material, positioned both in front and behind the lamps, which allow uniform heat distribution. The stretchblow moulding carousel is equipped with motorised stretch rods controlled by electronic drives, which guarantee precision in operations and energy savings (no compressed air is needed and the power consumption is lower than solutions with linear motors).
Production efficiency benefits
The EBS KL ERGON stretch-blow moulder is equipped with high-performance valves and low dead volumes (-50%) which ensure reduced pre-blowing and blow moulding times and better quality of the bottles produced. The blow moulding machine also adopts a series of measures capable of reducing the level of wear of the components to the benefit of production efficiency, such as the gripper handling system based on springless preform grippers/ bottles equipped with desmodromic cams and plastic bearings.
Benefits for operator flexibility
Thanks to the preform feeding system equipped with adjustments by means of numerical position counters, format changeover operations are simple and fast. Even the format change operations, to switch from the production of traditional bottles to bottles without a label, are extremely simple and fast as it is sufficient to replace the graft section in the mould.

“Innovation is and always will be the engine that fuel growth and development of Magic. Up to date no one in the world has ever built a completely electrified accumulator head of big size, Magic, which always looks ahead and, driven by this philosophy, has understood that even in the field of industrial machines the complete electrification will become a determining and indispensable factor. We did it in the past with the continuous extrusion technology for machine up to 60 Tons for the production, per example, in 6+6 cavities for 5 litres containers; we do it today also with the industrial machines for containers up to 280 litres. Soon we will do in fact a second Open Day to show the world the new transfer machine with all electric technology of 80-100 Tons for containers up to 280 litres. This machine will have an incredible saving for our clients in terms of energy consumption equal to almost 180.000 Euro per year. We are led to think that electrification is all about the necessity of the energetic economy. But this is one of the aspects, even though very important. The electric motor means also more precision and repeatability in the execution of the movements, that impacts on the efficiency of the machine, in lighter articles and shortest working cycles and with less wastes. It will be easy for our clients to understand how advantageous and innovative is to produce with a machine which consume 50-60% less, that thanks to its stability allows shortest working cycles and allows to produce lighter articles and even more with reduced maintenance costs of 50%.”
We are sure that orientation to ’Green”, to be effectively implemented, must bring to our clients even advantages in terms of profit. In fact, in 25 years and 1800 electric machines sold as well as having “saved” almost 3 billions of Kg in CO2, our clients have saved more than 500 million euro in electric energy. To these many various millions must be added for the economy in maintenance costs.
We want our clients, with our patented technology, win the complex challenge of the market; we aspire to become their partner, grow with them and become their reference point in the field.”

SIRA, the washing, rinsing, filling and capping monoblock
The monobloc washer for gallon bottles SIRA has been designed by AKOMAG for washing and sterilizing PET or PC gallon bottles or other bottles of various sizes, to be filled with still water. The washing cycle adapts to the various production needs of the end customer and is very effective. For this machine AKOMAG has designed and produced a special spraying and brushing device for gallon bottles that ensures total cleanliness. Through the use of special mobile nozzles furniture (penetrating and rotating), the machine washes the bottle internally at high pressure (5 bar). While the outside is brushed by means of nylon brushes. The machine can be quickly adapted to the different bottle formats by simply setting the type of container to be handled on the control keyboard. The stainless steel control board installed next to the monobloc is easily accessible for the operator. The panel is equipped with a touchscreen for the complete management of all line functions, and the display of operating parameters and alarms. The monobloc features an automatic de-capper in stainless steel: A pneumatic system grips the bottle neck while ejecting the cap. The system is safe, but it can be equipped with a system for the selection and ejection of gallon bottles that have not been properly de-capped. The bottles are then filled by means of special inverter- controlled pumps.
A valve designed by AKOMAG guarantees a laminar flow and no contact between the valve and the bottle. The filling is carried out by means of a special metering device that ensures extreme filling accuracy. The capper consists of soundproof vibrating hopper, a descent channel, and a tear-off pick-up head.
The closure of the bottle is guaranteed by an inclined pressure belt characterized with adjustable pressure. All adjustments are automatic and managed from the control panel.

WS’ philosophy is to manufacture high-quality and reliable equipment, equipped only with top brand components: ALFA LAVAL, ENDRESS+HAUSER, PALL, ANTON PAAR, SIEMENS, FESTO, SPIRAX SARCO are the typical components our Customers will find on Their plants.
The choice of providing only state-of-the-art solutions has brought us to be appointed as officially authorized integrator by ALFA LAVAL
Between main technical references, WS can list the supply of two fruit juice tubular flash pasteurizers for aseptic filling to ORANGINA-SCHWEPPES in France; furthermore, it’s significant to point out that WS is included in NESTLÉ WATERS’ authorized suppliers list for water purification systems: recently an important contract for the supply of a toptechnology water treatment plant in the far East has been finalized. Amongst last supplies (early 2016), WS also boasts a complete line for soft drinks production in Las Vegas – USA (Coca Cola co-packer): from water treatment to hot fill pasteurizer, through sugar syrup preparation and ingredients mixing, also including CIP equipment. WS considers Customer Service one of the greatest keys to success: entire business, marketing, sales and profits depend on customers’ satisfaction so the after sales team is constantly trained to perform the simplest solution in the shortest possible time to support the customer’s business.
“BLENDSYSTEM M”
The growing market’s confidence gained by process plants manufactured by WS, allowed a continuous development of blending technology for carbonated soft drinks (CSD) production to such an extent that We reached a very high level of specialisation in manufacturing mass controlled blending systems, named BLENDSYSTEM M.
BLENDSYSTEM M is a piece of equipment for preparing beverages, completely preassembled on a skid for an easy and quick shipment and installation, conceived mostly for the production of carbonated soft drinks (CSD), but also carbonated mineral water (CMW) and still water (charged with nitrogen in order to increase the mechanical resistance of the bottle). The required quantity of ingredients (water, syrup, and CO2) is carefully measured and dosed in an electronically controlled continuous process.
The whole system, realized to guarantee the highest qualitative standards and a qualitatively constant production, also running in conditions of considerable format change, is completely preassembled on stainless steel circular-section skid for an easy and efficacious cleaning. It usually includes the following subsystems:
• inlet water deaeration: a vacuum pump removes incondensable gases; the pump is conceived to maintain the dissolved oxygen level below 1 ppm values;
• carbon dioxide dosing (or nitrogen in case of still mineral water production): a modulating valve and a mass flow rate transmitter inject carbon dioxide in quantity that is proportional to water quantity loaded to the deaeration tank; the water flow rate is usually measured by a magnetic flow rate transmitter, which may be replaced with
a mass flow rate transmitter in case water presents a very low electrical conductivity level. A special gas injecting and mixing system - specifically developed by WS - performs a careful mixing with the water to be treated and, hence, best results in terms of product perlage; the carbon dioxide contents is maintained constant in the product receiving tank by a supervising software, which checks possible fluctuations in feeding

water temperature and product buffer temperature; the effective dissolved carbon dioxide contents in the product is checked using a carbometric unit, installed in by-pass on the filling machine feeding line;
• syrup dosing and mixing: at first syrup is stored in a small buffer tank, whose atmosphere is modified and enriched with carbon dioxide in order to avoid oxidation occurrence. Syrup injection is made by a
sanitary design modulating valve and a mass flow rate transmitter in a quantity which is proportional to the water amount fed from the deaeration tank; furthermore, using the mass flow rate transmitter, it is possible to check constantly the effective density of the inlet syrup and therefore to compensate immediately for the dosing and to stabilize the sugary concentration in the end-product within established bounds (usually ±0,05 °Bx). A specific refractometer installed in bypass on the filling machine feeding line, allows the constant check of the product and, if necessary, its adjustment; similarly, the instruments minimize waste of both syrup and product during transitory phases of production, such as start and stop.
Furthermore, customized solutions for product cooling are also available, depending on the environmental conditions of the system installation.
The supervising software loaded on the mass premix unit
- BLENDSYSTEM M - is conceived to guarantee the best results in terms of dosing, offering at the same time an easy control by a friendly user interface; this software enables on one hand to set the main production parameters and visualize their state graphically and on the other hand to set the statistics parameters (ca, cp e cpk) connected to that kind of production.
Using a more advanced version of this software, associated with specific instruments, it is also possible to control automatically saccharose inversion, so that the need of intervention by laboratory technicians is reduced.
The equipment is equipped with field buses (MPI, Profibus or Ethernet) for a complete integration in the bottling line and the control of production, cleaning and sanitizing processes.
