The ErgoBloc LM promotes block technology decisively. How that? It represents the block concept with a determination that is unrivalled. The ErgoBloc LM does not only combine individual machines but it also is designed as a holistic system with one central unit each for the control system, the drive and the operation.

Four process steps – one operator

The block is designed as one unit in which all essential control and function elements are centrally combined. This way, just one operator can easily operate the entire ErgoBloc LM on his own.

Energy savings

From optimised infrared heating technology to consistently implemented servo drive technology: The topic energy efficiency goes all the way through the block just like a red thread. Especially ambitious savings goals can be realised with the Air Wizard Triple compressed air recycling system.

Focus on the essentials

The ErgoBloc LM has been planned as a single, integrated machine and it is designed exactly for one defined application. This allows to go without many cost-intensive elements. Therefore, it only needs one central touch-screen for all functions and only requires one single labelling station.

Cost-efficient customisation

The pre-defined option packages enable to adapt the block to special requirements and keep the costs as well as the commissioning time low at the same time.

Trouble-free continuous operation

Full power with no breaks: The labelling module automatically detects bottle gaps and does not apply glue or labels in this case. Disruptions due to missing bottles and unnecessary glue and label consumption are therefore not an issue.

Small footprint

The ErgoBloc LM requires up to 30 percent less space than conventional block variants.

Energy efficiency

• Increased station performance during stretch blow moulding and labelling
• Reduced energy consumption thanks to the omission of transfer starwheels and redundant components
• Lowest possible heating energy requirement through energy optimisation of heating zone and heaters
• Energy-efficient separated vacuum during labelling

Media efficiency

• Efficient cooling of the entire block
• Air Wizard Triple compressed-air recovery system
• No compressed-air consumption during the filling process

Environmental compatibility

• Use of enviro-compliant lubricants
• Recoverable CIP media
