BWRB-PX2000 : Bottle washing machine for new or recycled glass bottles without labels (1000-2000 bottles/hr)

The automatic bottle washing machine for new or recycled glass bottles without labels. Working capacity from 1000 up to 2000 bottles per hour.

The BWRB-PX2000 automatic bottle washer is extremely compact continuos cycle machine. Designed following user indications, with low productive capacities, this machine is extremely versatile and can adapt to the most varied range of requirements. Thanks to a single but extremely effective washing cycle, running costs (water, electricity, acid detergent) can be reduced while still obtaining excellent washing results and ensuring that the bottles are perfectly cleaned and their insides totally emptied.

The fact that these machines are so easy to use and clean, requiring practically no maintenance, enables high outputs and very limited machine downtime. The machine’s modular construction enables the client to “build” the machine according to his own particular requirements, adapting it, as the need arises, to various applications (wine, oil, beer, etc.) Its high quality standards and advanced technology together with skilled and reliable after-sales service make this model an excellent departure point in bottling line automation.

All this while safeguarding the environment and reducing production costs, allowing you to easily recycle and reuse previously “disposable” bottles.

The “Czech Brewery System” company reserves the right to re-confirm this offer upon receipt and evaluation of samples the bottles delivered before production. The machine is designed for use with common bottles without labels, for washing the bottles dirted with common beverages. A producer does not keep guarancee that the machine is able to work with all types of bottles and kind of dirts in the bottles.

.

Main technical parameters :

The actual working capacity of the machine may differ from the capacity stated by the manufacturer. It depends on kind and old of dirt in the bottles, type and volume of the bottles, on the chemical composition, concentration, temperature and contamination of the cleaning chemical solution.

Equipment of the machine :

1 – The machine is in compliance with European Machine Directive 2006/42/CE dated May 17 2006.

2 – Frame of the washer made with steel plates and outlined in stainless steel type Aisi 316.

Outside finishing – jetting with micro glass balls.

The sides are 5mm thick, the internal baths are 3-5mm thick with inclined bottom for facilitating cleaning, and suitably profiled to equip the structure with greater rigidity and resistance.

Ample doors in stainless steel are provided for cleaning baths and tanks. The doors are in satin-finish stainless steel enabling spray parts to be inspected and easy access to all parts that require cleaning and maintenance.

3 – Semi-automatic loading of bottles (standard version )

Bottle in-feed bar in the pockets, with safety device and manual reset.

The loading chutes are in polyethylene (PEHD) and are equipped with safety devices which are activated when a bottle is not perfectly seated in its pocket causing the chute to be lowered and the stopping of the machine, with manual reset.

The machine is equipped to use with standard cylindrical shape bottles with capacity from 0.33 up to 1.0 liters.

3 – Automatic loading of bottles (optionally – only if the Automatic bottle loading system is ordered)

Accumulation the bottles on multiple belts

The alternating movement of the belts (in AISI 304) is synchronised with the movement of the bottle infeed bar so that it comes to a halt when bottles are ready to be lifted.

Pushers for aligning bottles in the various rows; belt lubrication bath with door for cleaning.

Bottle infeed bar in the pockets, with safety device and manual reset.

The loading chutes are in polyethylene (PEHD) and are equipped with safety devices which are activated when a bottle is not perfectly seated in its pocket causing the chute to be lowered and the stopping of the machine with manual reset. Equipment for standard shape bottles.

4 – Bottle unloading with rotating bars equipped with safety device with manual reset. Unloading chute (guides in polyethylene PEHD) with safety device that in the case of backward movement stops the machine. The reset is manual.

5 – Bottle outfeed conveyor in stainless steel equipped with transmission head (excluding pulley drive and chains) with dam for stopping machine in the event of jamming.

6 – Protective features are in transparent polycarbonate (anti-noise and anti-dust) protecting bottle unloading with manual opening.

7 – The loading and unloading mechanisms are protected by a safety closure.

8 – The main drive mechanism is actioned by a variable-speed drive.

The gear box is equipped with a safety device which stop the electric motor in case of overloading.

9 – Bottle transport conveyor is made up of notched wheels derived from solid steel.

The notches are produced on a calibrated machine thereby obtaining a perfect match with the chain rollers.

The connection with the shaft comes about using a hub bolted to the wheel itself and fixed to the shaft with a key, thereby allowing easy disassembly of the wheel even after several years of use.

The shafts are in stainless steel Aisi 316 with large diameter correction (the oversizing prevents bending).

Chains have meshing in stainless steel Aisi 316; rollers are of ample diameter with curved placement surface for improved transport and to increase chain and guides life. (rollers and pins are constructed in stainless steel Aisi 316, bushings are in stainless steel Aisi 316).

10 – The pocket holder beams have a box structure in stainless steel Aisi 316, channelled and sized to guarantee maximum rigidity, pockets are in plastic (polypropylene co-polymer) and are built-in to the beams.

11 – The spraying area is made up of fixed external shower and internal sprays with self-cleaning rotating nozzles.

The rotating motion of the self-cleaning rotating nozzles is driven by the pocket holder beam conveyor chain. This arrangement means that there is synchronised movement between the bottle holder pocket and the spray, independent of any chain wear.

The self-cleaning rotating nozzles can also vary the spray angle inside the bottle, creating turbulence, thereby making rinsing more efficient.

The continuous rotation of the spray holes means that the fluid flows in both directions assuring self-cleaning of the same.

The high capacity external showers allow further rinsing of the outside of the bottles.

These are easily maintained and cleaned and can be easily extracted for periodic maintenance. In addition, during assembly they are automatically centred in their seating.

On the last rinse cycle (mains water supply) there are installed an economy valve that interrupts water flow to the machine when it is stopped.

12 – The electrical circuit (in IP54) with power cabin made in carbon steel is installed on board the machine. The 24 V control panel (pendant push button panel) is in stainless steel and is installed machine front side and is equipped with led for visual monitoring of all operations and parts.

The bottle unloading area is illuminated.

13 – Pressure and temperature indicators.

14 – Internal drying system with hot air at 90-100°C.

15 – Spraying windows inspection with glasses (temperate-industrial accident research).

16 – Unified greasing at only two points on the machine and clearly marked by labels.

17 – Ball valve activate the emptying of the soaking tank.

18 – Utility connections at a single point (water and electricity).

19 – Pre-setting for introduction of liquid soda and other additives to detergent bath.

20 – Pre-setting for introduction of dust detergent and other additives to detergent bath.

21 – Funnel for exit of machine vapours.

22 – Adjustable feet positioned along the sides of the machine.
