Brushing Unit with FRP / SS Cover – for Glass Bottles

• The Brushing unit is used for cleaning glass bottles.

• It is assembled on a stainless steel base plate with a Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) SS cover.

• This cover protects a 1/2 HP I Phase 230 V 50 Hz motor. The motor is connected to two stainless steel shafts with pullies and V-belt.

• This unit must be mounted on the center of a cement / stainless steel/plastic tank of height 2.5 –3 feet. The size of the tank depends on the space availability and the number of bottles to be washed. The brushing unit thus mounted has two brushes extending on one side and two brushes on the other. Therefore two people standing on opposite sides of the tank can at once clean 4 bottles.

• Once the bottles are brought back from the market, they are soaked in another tank containing water with soap solution. This ensures that all dirt particles are loosened. The bottles are now ready to be brushed.

• There are two types of brushes mounted on the unit. One long brush cleans the inside of the bottles and at the same time another brush cleans the mouth of the bottle where there is generally rust formation due to crown corks. Two persons can wash approximately 8-12 bottles per minute. This depends on the dexterity of the workers and dirtiness of the bottles.

• After the brushing the bottles can be rinsed with plain water with the help of Rinser.

• The Maintenance of the machine consists of greasing, V belt tightening whenever required and general cleaning

The unit is easy to install and requires minimum maintenance. It is made for reliable performance.

The whole unit is mounted on a skid so it is easy to transport and can be quickly installed. Each filter unit is connected to the next in line with necessary pipes and fittings. Pumps are also provided.

The different filter stages are selected depending on the quantity of water available and so a Water Test Report is essential. Based on the report, the system can be tailored to get best results.

The unit is easy to install and requires minimum maintenance. It is made for reliable performance.

Bottle Sterilizer – for PET / Glass Bottles

Sterilization refers to any process that eliminates, removes, kills, or deactivates all forms of life and other biological agents present in a specified region – such as a surface or a volume of fluid. The process of sterilization of glass and PET bottles before and after filling basically improves its shelf life and ensures that the product the customer consumes is safe.

The method of sterilization is dipping in hot water for a specified time. The sterilizer is basically an SS tank whose size depends on the number of bottles to be sterilized. Water is filled in the tank and heated to the required temperature by steam from boiler or electrically with heaters. Baskets made of SS sheet with SS mesh bottom are provided. The sizes & quantity of the baskets also depend on the number of bottles to be sterilized. The bottles are loaded into a basket and it is dipped into the hot water. The baskets can be manually handled when the number of bottles are less or for larger quantities a winch can be provided. Meanwhile the next basket is filled with bottles. After the required time, the first basket is taken out and the next one is dipped into the tank. So the sterilization continues.

Glass bottles can be sterilized before and after filling and capping. PET Bottle can be sterilized after filling and capping. The tank and baskets are fabricated out of SS 304 and built to last. The Sterilizer can be supplied to suit the number of bottles to be sterilized

Motorised Liquid Stirrer

• The Stirrer is basically a mixer with a fan blade at the bottom.

The Shrink Tunnel is provided with a metallic mesh conveyor to withstand temperature, suitable heaters, temperature sensor and controller to maintain the required temperature and a set of fans to circulate the heat inside the tunnel. The machine is controlled by a central control panel where the temperature inside the tunnel, the speed of the conveyor, the fans and other functions can be easily controlled.

The PET bottles are kept on a table on the Wrapper. The operator then presses a switch and the machine automatically wraps the shrink film over them. The bottles are now moved forwards by the machine. Meanwhile the operator can keep the next set of bottles. The first set of wrapped bottles now move into the shrink tunnel. The shrink wrapped bottles come out of the other end of the tunnel where another fan cools down the plastic film. The packed bottles are now taken off. The process continues as each set of bottles are placed one after the other

Advantages of Shrink Wrapping are:

• Economical

• Protects the product from dust, moisture and humidity.

• It is a hygienic form of packaging for foodstuffs.

• Can be used for making multi packs and adds value to the product.

• Gives the product a good look and helps reduce pilferage

• Can be used to package any product of any size or shape.
