Airjet Cleaning Machine
WORKING PRINCIPLE
This machine works on the principle of airjet cleaning of individual bottles in an inverted position by a series of jets. The bottles are loaded on the incoming conveyor for onward movement over the washing zone.
The bottles thus loaded are indexed and conveyed through a slat conveyor. The star wheel and the in-feed conveyor push the bottles into the in-feed inverter, where they are inverted. Enter the cleaning zone in neck-down position, where they pass over a series of jets located in the vacuum chamber. In the cleaning zone, highly pressurized airjets blow compressed air into the bottles and the vacuum sucks all the dirt and dust coming out of bottles, which is collected in a dust collection bag located in the vacuum cleaner. After passing through the cleaning zone the bottles enter the outfeed inverter where they are again repositioned facing up before they exit from the process.
