Rotary Water Rinsers, such as those manufactured by Krones, SIG, Simonazzi, Procomac, etc, are generally used in high speed beverage production lines. They are frequently "monoblocked" or synchronized with the filler or filler/capper.

Although rotary rinsing systems differ in construction and operation, the basic principles are usually quite similar: Bottles are fed into to the system via timing screw and starwheel. Grippers close on the neck finish of each container and invert it as it travels in a rotary path. Fluid jets, typically using water, spray into the container from underneath, cleaning and sterilizing the container. The container is then placed back in position for the discharge star to place containers back on the conveyor, or into an intermediate star which would feed the filler in a Monoblock or Triblock configuration.

The construction, design, and general requirements of rotary water rinsers do vary somewhat, although the types of containers used in rotary water rinsing systems do not vary greatly: Generally, PET containers as a neck ring is required. Speeds range from 350 containers per minute to as high as 1200 containers per minute.

Rotary water rinsers differ fundamentally from rotary air rinsers in that sterilization can be part of the process. There are many ways the sterilization procedure can be performed; Steam, ozone, sulfur dioxide, chlorinated water, hot water, and blowers with sterile air or inert gasses (with or without a device for extracting the suspended particles) may be used. Systems for re-circulation and mixing of the sterilizing fluids with water may also be required. Water rinsers are generally made of stainless steel and are crafted to a high degree of precision to comply with the strict cleanliness, process control and anti-corrosion requirements typical of these types of systems.

At any given time, BPDM typically has a variety of rotary water rinsers and container rinsing machinery in its used, rebuilt and/or reconditioned inventory. We can also furnish new equipment or produce a system incorporating custom design features. Please contact us with your requirements if you would like to discuss your applications.
