Manually operated internal rinsers and sterilisers:-
D - SC750 rinser: 1,200 Euros
For internal rinsing of glass bottles, by an injection of pre-filtered water from the main
supply; the filter is built in.
Electricity is not required. It has 4 nozzles on which upturned bottles are inserted manually.
Manufactured in AISI 304 steel.
TASK S-S-M:
Designed to rinse and blow the bottles dry before filling. The
operator places the bottles upside down on the nozzles, the water / air jets are starting by pressure of the hand.
The unit is supplied with a filter assembly for the water and for the compressed air.
Optional pump for re-cycling a sterilising solution (shown in second photo).
Accepts from 37.5 cl to 1.5 litre cylindrical glass bottles.
Overall size: 450 x 450 x 750 mm high.
Noise level: Lpa < 30 db (tested according to UNI 7712 standards).
Shaped base frame covered in AISI 304 stainless steel.

KTM - TS600 steriliser, single-head
with peristaltic pump for recycling the SO2 solution.
|
Semi-automatic internal rinsers/sterilisers:-
TASK TP10 - rotary table with 10 places, output up to 700 bottles/hour: 3,450 Euros
|
Single treatment water rinsing. Option: change parts for very large or small diameter round bottle sizes, 380 Euros |
TASK TP20 - rotary table with 20 places, output up to 1200 bottles/hour. 4,500 Euros
|
Speed is adjustable, by a potentiometer, from 300 to 1200 bottles/hour. Option: change parts for large or small diameter round bottle sizes, 500 Euros |
Bottles are placed by hand on the rotary table, immediately rinsed by a sterile water jet,
allowed to drip, then removed by hand as required.
TASK TP20-R - rotary table with 20 places, similar to the TP20 but with recycling system, stainless steel pump and filters for using a sterilizing solution, output up to 1200 bottles/hour. 5,700 Euros
Or:-
DUR - SC1000 (up to
600 bottles/hour), 3,060 Euros
Optional 0.45 micron membrane-cartridge filtering unit for the incoming water, 735 Euros
The operator places the first 4 bottles upside down inside the
plastic cups on the top of the machine. Then he presses the green start
button to open the valves. The water is injected automatically to rinse out any particles inside the
bottles efficiently and quickly. The water dripping out is channeled into a discharge pipe.
While the first 4 bottles are dripping after rinsing, the operator places another 4 bottles on the remaining 4 cups.
The injection time is adjustable by means of a timer located in the
machine control panel. Each section of 4 bottle-holders has its own timer, to adjust the rinsing
timing separately.
or
DUR - SC1500
(500 to 1200 bottles/hour), 5,600 Euros
Designed for the internal washing of glass or PET bottles. It consists principally of a clockwise rotating table with 20 cups in which bottles are manually upturned and inserted.
The bottles are rinsed by an injection of pre-filtered water. The quantity of injected water can be
adjusted according to requirements.
After rinsing, the bottles are allowed to drip for sufficient time
to achieve a low residual amount of water.
The speed is adjustable by the controller on the machine base.
Optionally the machine can be equipped in a 'sterilising version' (1,000 Euros extra) with a stainless steel recycling pump, a recovery tank for the solution and a microfltration unit. It can also be supplied in an air-blowing version.
A great advantage is the small overall dimensions and the 4 swivelling wheels for easy movement. Its base-frame and main parts are manufactured in AISI 304 stainless steel.
Fully automatic internal rinsers/sterilisers:-
IMF - Kompakt Steriliser 12, with 12 bottle grippers:-

Manufactured entirely in 316 stainless steel,
maximum working speed 1500 bottles / hour.
Treatment - double (SO2 1.8 seconds, clean water 1.8 seconds and 10 seconds to drain).
25,620 Euros plus covering hood 1600 Euros, fume extraction fan 1200 Euros, last drop blow 650 Euros, total 29,070 Euros, minus 10% = 26,163 Euros.
Option: recycling kit for SO2 solution with pump and filters 5500 Euros, minus 10%.

Using Sulphur dioxide (SO2) or Peracetic acid as sterilant?
Sulphurous acid is a colourless solution of sulphur dioxide in water, with the formula H2SO3, characterized by a suffocating sulphurous odour. It is different from sulphuric acid H2SO4.
Bryce Rankine states Sulphurous acid strength (in % SO2)
against Contact time in seconds to sterilise an empty bottle:-
0.5
60
1.0
45
1.5
30
2.0
5
Typically, 2% Free SO2 solution would be used as the bottle sterilising solution.
Peracetic acid, typically as a 1% solution, needs much longer reaction time in the bottle (at least 10 seconds), so the operation would have to run at one fifth of the speed (2 seconds contact time with SO2 is enough); a larger machine would hence be required for a particular throughput.
Peracetic acid is a very powerful cleanser and disinfectant; it's oxidation potential outranges
that of chlorine and chlorine dioxide. In concentrated form it must be handled
with great care; rubber or Neoprene gloves must be worn.
When peracetic acid dissolves in water
it disintegrates to hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid, which will fall apart to water, oxygen and CO2,
these degradation products are non-toxic and can easily dissolve in water.
SO2 is much more corrosive, so the complete machine must be in stainless steel AISI-316 rather than AISI-304. A vapour aspiration system is necessary.
