3 – 4 – 5 Baths Bottle Washer
Depending on different production capacity and contact time requirements, Bardi is able to supply double-end machine featured by 3, 4 or 5 caustic baths and complete with:
- Pre-soak and warm-up treatment: the bottles are warmed up by internal and external spraying treatment which allows to reduce energy consumption; moreover, the separate contamination removal decrease the contamination load for the caustic bath and consequently the cost of the water treatment. The machine can be designed with a pre-soaking bath for the complete immersion of the bottle.
- Label detachment and removal: each caustic bath is provided with a label extraction system. Propeller circulation pumps generate a current which sucks the labels out of the bottle cells and guides the labels directly toward the revolving filter bands. The filter band carries the labels out of the machine immediately after they are detached preventing their decomposition.
- Post-soak treatment and cool down: bottles pass through a post-caustic jetting treatment made by 2 warm, one cold and one fresh water jetting stations which totally eliminate soak residuals. In addition each model can be designed with a water submerge bath to maintain high guarantee of soak residuals elimination also at the highest speeds.
Infeed Finger System
The elliptic finger movement lets bring the bottles from the loading table to the baskets automatically, without using other pushing members.
Safety devices protect the fingers during their movements.
These fingers are made of high density plastic profiles which assure a noiseless working operation and gentle treatment of the bottle.
Worm Infeed System
Whenever special bottles (rectangular, square, oval, etc.) are handled, it is not possible to put them on an accumulation table, consequently a worm infeed system is required.
The bottles are spaced by an infeed scroll and fed to the inload slides through a pushing device which is lined with polyethylene.
Moreover a bar will introduce the bottles into the baskets.
Cams Outfeed System
The opening of the sliding block transfers the bottles from the baskets and places them on to the cams that, with their rotating movement, take the bottles along the slide conveyors to the discharge conveyor.
The slides and unloading cams are made of high density polyethylene to guarantee a noiseless working operation and longer life cycle. Safety devices protect all the movements.
Bottle Cells & Carrier
The design of our cells and barrier guarantees the following advantages:
- Large selection of bottle cell carriers in various widths and lengths.
- Optimum machine adaptation.
- Easy replacement of individual cells.
- Optimized wall thicknesses and cutouts in the carrier side walls which allows lighter weight, smaller surfaces, less media carryover, and less chain guide wear.
- For the bottler this means energy savings of up to 30%, further reduction in water consumption and less maintenance.
