Máquina de lavar garrafas KHS Innoclean

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
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
