This SZA Federspiel SP 1600-A is a packing machine — also commonly referred to as a crate unpacker — designed to automatically remove bottles from crates at high speed in beverage production and bottling lines. SZA Federspiel is a specialist manufacturer of filling and packaging machinery serving the drinks industry, and this unit represents a capable example of their industrial-scale bottle handling equipment.
Built in 2001 and currently located in Germany, the machine is offered in used condition as a free-standing unit on a square frame construction with dome feet, painted throughout. It operates at a rated capacity of 30,000 bottles per hour, making it suited to high-throughput bottling environments. The machine accepts two bottle holder configurations — 4×20 or 4×24 bottles — and comes equipped with eight packing heads to accommodate both formats. The running direction is lengthwise for modular crates, travelling from right to left.
A notable strength of this listing is the breadth of bottle formats it handles. Confirmed compatible formats include 0.33 l Vichy bottles, 0.33 l Euro bottles, 0.35 l lemonade bottles, and 0.5 l NRW bottles, all in modular crates. Two complete gripper head sets are included, providing flexibility to switch between formats without procuring additional tooling.
Electrically, the machine runs on 230/400 V AC at 16 A. Pneumatic operation requires a compressed air supply at 5 bar, with an air consumption of 4 m³/h. The control system is a Siemens Simatic S7-300 paired with an OP17 operator panel, a well-established and widely supported platform in industrial automation. The gripper head carrier is pneumatically equipped, and the operating area is enclosed with safety windows. Additional features include container transport, bottle transport, and a full complement of safety, electrical, and pneumatic equipment.
Overall dimensions are 2,500 mm in length, 2,500 mm in width, and 2,400 mm in height.
