KHS Innoclean mesin pencuci botol (2007)

KHS Flaschenreinigungsmaschine

Overview

This KHS Innoclean single-end bottle washer for returnable glass bottles was built in 2007. It cleans and de-labels empty bottles before filling: bottles are pushed into carrier-basket cells, run on heavy roller chains through a pre-soak, two pre-warming baths, the main caustic soak with under- and over-caustic label flushing, and three water spray zones, then handed back onto the bottle conveyor at discharge.

Nineteen bottles run across the machine width in 4,275 cells; output range and design output are given below under Technical data. At design output, total dwell time is 18.7 minutes, including 10.8 minutes of caustic contact.

KHS modernised the drive and operator station in 2022: Triple-i-Drive and a capacitive multi-touch panel with RFID login, detailed under Equipment. A KHS manual supplement dated November 2022 covers the upgrade.
