The new line is the second sold by Sidel to the Turkish producer of edible oils over a span of one year.
Health-conscious consumers across the region have been driving the sales of oils with higher amounts of unsaturated fats up. In the Turkish market alone, sales volume of sunflower and other seed oils saw increase of around 18% over the 2008-2013 period, from 662,200 to 782,800 tonnes.
“The increased demand for the edible oils has paved the way for increased production, so it only makes sense that we would switch to a more efficient packaging solution,” said Vahap Arpaci, business development & investment group director at Aves Enerji Yag Ve Gida. “Since our first line supplied by Sidel has worked so well, we have decided to further place our trust in Sidel to provide us with the most effective and efficient packaging solutions.”
The new line for Aves will be capable of producing 1-litre and 2-litre bottles at speeds of 28,000 and 16,800 bottles per hour respectively. With the addition of this new line, Aves should be able to compensate higher production volume for the rising consumer demand on edible oils.
The new line will be equipped with Combi net weight GW, SBO 14 Universal blow-moulding, net weight GW filler and Rollquattro labeller.
Furthermore, Sidel will be offering the Turkish producer with training, after-sales and logistics support on its leading technology.
