TIME
The treatment time is the result of a washing cycle which can be customized in terms of number of stations and phases according to the customer standard and requirements. Our recommended washing cycle provides 6 main phases: 1. PREWASH - 2. DETERGENT - 3. FIRST RINSE - 4. SANITIZING - 5. SECOND RINSE - 6. FINAL RINSE
TEMPERATURE
The constant monitoring of the temperature is paramount in order to wash the bottles according to the preset values (between 60 and 65°C). An alarm stops the washer in case these set points are not respected.
PRESSURE
To optimize the washing process, the washer is equipped with high pressure system, which:
- Allows to increase the pressure of the washing jet up to 6 bar
- Can be installed on one or more station of the washing phase
- It's particularly indicated for difficult-to-clean bottles (hollow handles, shaped bottles)

MECHANICAL ACTION
Neck Handling
This patented system to grip the neck of the bottle, guarantees important advantages as:
- The possibility to use an high pressure washing jet
- The washing of the external part of the bottle inside the washer, thanks to the possibility of the bottle rotation under the action of brushes
- The washing of the bottle neck
Washing Rotating Nozzles
The washer is fitted with double washing rotating nozzles which guarantee the following advantages:
- The jet of water hits not only the bottom, but the handle and the walls too.
- The nozzles are self-cleaning (the water flow is inverted at the passing of each bottle) and the washing efficiency is therefore guaranteed. The disassembly for maintenance is considerably reduced.
- The beam carrying the bottles is synchronized with the nozzle even in case of chain extension.
Rotary Brushing
- Brushes are motorised and clean the bottle externally. Since they make the bottle spin, the water jet hits not only the bottom but also the sides of the bottle.
