![]() SIPA’s XFORM 500 is actually capable of handling molds with up to 144 cavities. ![]() We are happy to have found a partner that can support us both on technology and on packaging development.” SIPA has made a good job with know-how transfer to our people, and on-site service is available with all the right skills, which helped provide a smooth transition. The system has been running smoothly since the day we first switched it on, achieving excellent preform quality. ![]() Nampak Petpak Technical Director Mthandeni Mkhize says: “We are really satisfied with our choice with the XFORM 500 and about the relationship we have established with SIPA. We have our own office in South Africa too, so we can stay on top of things here.” “We have in-depth design and production expertise in systems and molds, and we know the market inside out. “Nampak was looking for a reliable partner who, on top of being capable of supplying first class preform systems, understands packaging development,” says Giovanni De Rosa, SIPA’s Southern Africa Area Manager. Now, Nampak can install each and every one of those legacy moulds on the XFORM 500, without restriction and without the need for any modifications. It is the owner of a huge quantity of legacy moulds. It began producing PET bottles for local and international brands during the 1970s, and since then it has built up a substantial collection of preform systems from several major suppliers. When it comes to PET bottle packaging, Nampak knows what it is talking about: it was in fact the first packaging supplier in Africa and the second in the world to blow PET bottles. SIPA supplied a complete preform system that included the XFORM500 injection moulding machine equipped with a 72-cavity mold, together with two more 72-cavity cold halves, to produce preforms in various weights for production of bottles between 500 mL and 2 L in volume. The system was installed during 2013 and has exceeded Nampak’s expectations. Africa’s largest packaging company, Nampak, has chosen SIPA’s XFORM 500 preform production system to make juice and CSD bottle preforms for major beverages players on the South African market.
