Automatic Linear Bottle Washing Machine

Automatic Linear Bottle Washing Machine

The Automatic Linear Bottle Washing Machine is a fully automated, high-speed cleaning equipment primarily designed for washing round glass bottles (typically ranging from 30 ml to 1000 ml) in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, beverages, and packaging. It ensures thorough, contamination-free rinsing by inverting bottles neck-down and using high-pressure jets of water and air, minimizing human contact to meet cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice) standards. Bottle Washing Machine is ideal for inline integration with filling lines, offering efficient throughput while maintaining hygiene and reducing labor costs.

Key Features

  • Construction: Fabricated from stainless steel for durability, corrosion resistance, and easy cleaning. The rigid, modular frame supports continuous operation without breakdowns.

  • Loading and Unloading: Automatic loading via SS wire mesh conveyor from a feed table (manual push option available). Optional automatic unloading onto a turntable for seamless transfer.

  • Washing Stations: Equipped with 6 interchangeable stations (configurable for 3 water washes and 3 air washes, or custom sequences like fresh water, deionized water, or air jets). High-pressure spray nozzles target the bottle’s interior and exterior precisely, ensuring complete drainage with minimal residual droplets.

  • Nozzle System: Needles or nozzles enter the inverted bottle for positive-pressure washing, preventing cross-contamination. Supports up to 8 internal and 2 external stations in advanced models.

  • Pumps and Flexibility: Includes centrifugal pumps (SS 316) for high-volume washing; optional third tank/pump for additional cycles. Water recycling possible for eco-friendly operation.

  • Safety and Compliance: Features safety interlocks, isolated mechanical drives from washing zones, and GMP-compliant design. No change parts needed for round bottles (change parts for flat bottles or neck size variations).

Working Principle

  1. Bottle Feeding: Empty bottles are loaded onto the conveyor and fed into indexed pockets or baskets.

  2. Inversion and Washing: Bottles are gripped (often by neck) and inverted. Nozzles rise to enter the neck, delivering pressurized jets in sequenced cycles.

  3. Draining and Resetting: After washing, bottles drain completely, then flip upright and discharge onto the outfeed conveyor or turntable.

Salient Features of Linear Bottle Washing Machine

  • High-pressure spray nozzles ensure perfect wash of Bottles.

  • Interchangeable wash sequences.

  • Totally fabricated from SS Materials, including the basic frame.

  • No change parts required for washing of round bottle saving time of change over. (Change Parts require for Flat bottles & if change of neck size.)

  • All parts coming in contact with washing zones / jet are made from SS 316 materials.

  • The machine suitable for handling washes of round and flat glass bottle (With help of change parts).

  • Water re-cycling arrangement is possible as per customer’s need.

  • Machine is totally rigid and withstands continuous operation for long working. Hours without any trouble.

  • Higher capacity centrifugal pump to wash bigger container.

  • Third Tank & pump can be fitted (optional).

Process Operation of Linear Bottle Washer

Three-cycle rinsing allows flexibilities of various wash cycles such as fresh water, dematerialized water etc. as per the rinsing requirement of bottle. All the pumps are made of SS and all the water contact parts are made of SS 316 on a heavy base of SS structure. In tunnel design is such that separation is maintained between feeding zone and discharge zone of the cleaned containers. All the mechanical drives are separated and isolated from the washing zone. Approved materials only are used for construction, together with a careful choice of components, thereby taking into consideration all aspects of sanitation and consequence complying with the pharmaceutical G.M.P. requirements. The quality of rinsing is ensured through 3 sets of inner and 2 sets of outer nozzles accurately placed to direct the jet at center of the bottle and the bottle comes out with water totally drained with minimum droplets of water.
