FADEPLAST TURNED TO
SMI FOR THE PRODUCTION
OF EMPTY BOTTLES
NATURE, HISTORY, MUSIC AND CULTURE!
Colombia is full of beauty and particular
places, such as Buga, a hidden gem
in the heart of the Valley of Cauca,
where we also discover Fadeplast, an
entrepreneurial excellence, which chose
SMI compact stretch-blow moulders
from the EBS K ERGON range for the
production of PET empty bottles.

Production of Bottles in Pet for
Third Parties
Fadeplast Buga S.A.S. operates in the
field of manufacturing a wide range
of plastic products. Founded in 2013,
the Colombian company currently
boasts a prominent position among the
operators in the ‘converter’ sector, i.e.

manufacturers of containers intended
mainly for the plants of companies in
the ‘food & beverage’ sector.

To meet the strong demand for empty
bottles from the market, Fadeplast

compact rotary stretch-blow moulder
model EBS 4 K ERGON, which is added
to the three already supplied previously.

Since 2019, Fadeplast, has been
producing a wide variety of PET and
rPET containers using the latest
generation SMI stretch-blow moulders
of the EBS K ERGON series, a range of
compact high-performance machines,
which, in a single module, integrate
the preform heating furnace and the
stretch-blow moulding section; This
is the ideal solution to allow the user
of the system high flexibility and
maximum efficiency in the production
of various types of containers intended
for the packaging of water, carbonated
drinks, oil, sauces, household
detergents, etc. The EBS K ERGON
series by SMI offers the advantage of
allowing format changes to be carried
out quickly and easily and machine
management and maintenance
operations with great ease.

Fadeplast was created with the
aim of responding to the countless
requests from companies producing
beverages, food, detergents, which
need a wide range of empty PET and
rPET containers for bottling their
brands. Many operators in the sector,
especially small ones, carry out very
varied productions in their plants, with
the need therefore to frequently change

as Fadeplast in order to have the
containers they need, without having to
