Air conveying

Main Features

Sidel air conveying offers easy installation and immediate operation thanks to our modular conveyor concept. A central automation controller controls the air output speed and adapts it to the conveying speed needed. The patented Sidel air distribution system regulates air pressure according to package characteristics. The plenum is also equipped with frequency inverters, which can adjust transfer speeds to the type of bottles and layout.


New design
The new cover and integrated cable tray are designed for quick installation and ease of access. The aluminum profile is designed to provide stability along the length of the line. New neck and body rails ensure an even and smooth pathway for bottle flow.

Customer advantages
