SWING Evo

Drawing on decades of industry expertise, Sidel’s SWING® Evo introduces an innovative counterflow concept and modular design, allowing beverage manufacturers to precisely control pasteurisation, water usage and energy consumption for each module. 

This breakthrough sets a new benchmark for the sector, delivering substantial cost savings without compromising product quality or operational flexibility. Tailored specifically for beer producers, the system supports both glass and can packaging formats

“SWING® Evo pushes the boundaries of sustainability, through introducing true modular efficiency,” said Andrea Solfa, Product Manager Tunnel and Site Leader at Sidel. “By ensuring that each module is autonomous and running the top and bottom decks in opposite directions, we have been able to create a pasteuriser that optimises every drop of water and kilowatt of energy with no trade-off on quality.”

Pioneering design for lower consumption

Thanks to its counterflow configuration and dedicated heat and water circuits, SWING® Evo minimises heat dispersion and eliminates unnecessary circulation between tanks. Each module is independently controlled, allowing the system to adapt precisely to production needs.

This solution offers significant sustainability advantages for beverage producers transitioning their operations, achieving reductions of 10% in water consumption¹, 35% in electricity usage¹ and 10% in steam utilisation¹.

“Every aspect of the design was re-engineered for efficiency,” continued Solfa. “From the shorter piping path to the predictive control of cooling media, SWING® Evo proves that less is more.”

Preserved pasteurisation quality, enhanced flexibility 

Building on Sidel’s renowned pasteurisation expertise, SWING® Evo integrates the PRINCE X predictive control system, ensuring precise product treatment and eliminating under/over-pasteurisation risks. It automatically analyses product temperature evolution and adjusts spray conditions in real time, even during production downtimes or power interruptions.

This intelligent control system also gives producers greater format flexibility, enabling optimal settings for a wide variety of Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) and operating conditions including operation as a standalone cooler without additional devices or complexity.

Performance through simplicity

With its modular architecture, predictive intelligence and ergonomic design, SWING® Evo delivers a new balance between sustainability performance and simplicity. Beverage producers can significantly reduce energy and water consumption, while maintaining consistent product quality across a wide range of SKUs and operating conditions.

Functional design at every stage of use
SWING® Evo was designed to deliver maximum functionality and efficiency at every stage of its lifecycle, from line design to installation and daily operation.

Its compact and modular architecture makes it easy to integrate into new or even existing layouts, optimising the use of floor space and simplifying the conveyor path. The first industrial installation at Refresco, in Sulmona, Italy, confirmed these advantages; the pasteuriser was fully assembled and commissioned in just one week, thanks to its pre-assembled modules and streamlined design. 

In day-to-day operations, SWING® Evo is engineered for maximum functionality. Sliding lateral doors, full top access and tool-free maintenance ensure that all components, pumps, valves and probes are easy to reach, inspect and service. This accessibility, combined with the machine’s compact footprint, translates into faster interventions and safer, more comfortable operation for production teams.

“SWING® Evo is a striking illustration that innovation doesn’t always mean reinventing everything,” concludes Solfa. “Sometimes, the smartest solutions are those that make complexity simple and efficiency effortless.”
