Turnkey responsibility was in the hands of SMI. The solution installed consists of an ECOBLOC ERGON Series integrated system for stretch-blow molding, filling, and capping of PET bottles; an SK ERGON Series shrink wrapper for secondary packaging; an HA 80 handle applicator; a PACKSORTER pack divider/sorter; and an APS ERGON Series palletizer. The entire plant is equipped with an automation and control system of the latest generation incorporating the best technologies for the management of a “smart factory.”
