One hundred and twenty-five years without ever stopping, not even for a single day. The story of Latteria Soresina proves that the company has been able to grasp market signals and respond to changing demands through increased efficiency and innovation.
Today, all the goodness of cow’s milk, sourced from a certified supply chain and processed according to tradition with the use of innovative techniques, is ready to be enjoyed in convenient PET and rPET bottles blown by the EBS 6 KL ERGON stretch-blow moulder, which is equipped with moulds featuring “ReduxAir”, an efficient system that enables stretch-blow moulding operations to be carried out at lower pressures than those normally used.

was founded on February 5, 1900, in the town of Soresina (province of Cremona) through close synergy between farmers and milk producers: an associative model that, today as in the past, represents the most suitable way to translate into operational reality the close bond that unites its members.
The extraordinary journey of milk, 100% Italian, produced by the 46,000 cows raised in the farms of the Po Valley, begins every morning at 5 a.m., when transporters collect it from the over 200 member farms and bring it within a few hours to the nearby Latteria Soresina plants, ensuring
fresh, daily processing that results in high-quality products.
SMI solutions for Latteria Soresina
The SMI EBS 6 KL ERGON stretch-blow moulder, installed at the Soresina plant, allows the company to increase production to meet the growing popularity of fresh milk bottled in
PET and rPET bottles made with 50% recycled plastic.
The company also uses increasingly lighter preforms to optimize distribution and reduce environmental impact.

ReduxAir moulds
The moulds installed on the EBS 6 KL ERGON stretch-blow moulder are equipped with the “ReduxAir” base, which, thanks to specific technical and design solutions, allows much faster release of the air trapped between the outer walls of the bottle and the surface of the mould.
It is therefore possible to produce the 0.5 L container with an air pressure of 20 bar and the 1 L container with a pressure of 25 bar (pressures significantly lower than the approximately 35 bar typically used), ensuring a significant advantage in terms of energy savings and environmental protection.

Low-consumption preform heating
The innovative and compact preform heating oven of SMI stretch-blow moulders is equipped with an aluminum diffuser that ensures optimal temperature control to prevent potential overheating.
Energy costs for bottle production are also reduced thanks to the use of high-efficiency IR lamps.

AirMaster recovery system
The EBS 6 KL ERGON stretch-blow moulder is equipped with a dual-stage air recovery system called “AirMaster”, which allows a second device to be added to the basic air recovery system in order to recover and recycle part of the high-pressure blowing air, ensuring significant savings in compressed air consumption and energy costs.
