SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 25, 2025 - Handling shaped bottles in modern production environments is no small feat. As packaging becomes a key differentiator for brands, the complexity of conveying and packing uniquely designed containers has become an increasing challenge—until now.
The newly launched Cermex ProSelex® by Sidel is setting a new benchmark in product care, equipment efficiency, and operability, delivering unmatched performance in shaped bottle handling.
Meeting the Complexity of Modern Packaging Head-On
Innovative designs require innovative solutions
Today’s brands often stand out through eye-catching, non-standard containers. But this innovation brings added complexity during conveying and grouping. These containers must be kept in pristine condition, and due to their irregular shapes, they often suffer from instability throughout processing.
Shorter production runs, more SKUs
Adding to the challenge, manufacturers are managing increasingly varied product lines with mini and maxi batch sizes, shorter production runs, and diversified case counts. This demands fast and seamless adaptability across packaging lines.
