1.000 to 8.000 bottles / hour
Working Method
Single-ended machine using the combined soak- and spray method. Bottle cells mounted on an endless chain pass through the following zones:
Pre-sprinkling, discharge of remains, pre-spraying, caustic soaking, caustic flushing in two positions to remove labels, hot caustic spaying with high volume and low pressure.
Cool down area consisting of: Caustic-II zone, warm-water spray zone, cold-water spray zone and fresh-water spray zone.
Extensive drip zones result in low alkalinity in the water spray zones. The cascade principle, where the flow of water inside the machine is opposite to the transport direction of the bottles, results in an automatic regulation of temperature in all treatment zones.
