Technical Summary and Application Scope â ATES Giorgia 8000 bph
The ATES Giorgia 8000 bph is a continuous-motion washing and rinsing
system for glass bottles, suitable for both returnable and new
bottles. It is designed for stand-alone use or seamless integration
into existing or new bottling lines. Built primarily from AISI 304
stainless steel with plastic baskets and continuous-motion conveying,
the machine ensures robust performance with industrial-grade safety
protections. Main Technical Data Type: Industrial glass bottle washer
and rinser, suitable for recycled and new bottles. Nominal output
capacity: up to 8,000 bottles/hour depending on bottle format,
contamination level, and line configuration. Materials: AISI 304
stainless steel structure; plastic baskets; stainless-steel doors and
inspection windows. Mechanical composition: Shelves, baskets for
bottle housing, and automatic loading/unloading with push bars. Easy
inspection access for maintenance. Water treatment: Hot-water washing
with caustic detergent (soda) followed by multi-stage rinsing.
Installed electrical power: approx. 20 kW. Electrical supply: 400 V,
3-phase, 50 Hz; auxiliaries 24 V; PLC/SCADA integration (Siemens,
Omron, Allen-Bradley). Water consumption: 1.0â1.5 m³/h via
1″ G (BSPP) supply, minimum 1.5 bar. Drainage: integrated rinse
and tank drainage via 2″ pipeline. Compressed air: 6 bar
operating pressure; approx. 20 Nl/h; 1/4″ connection. Thermal
energy: approx. 250,000 kcal/h (~291 kW) via dedicated heat exchanger,
compatible with steam or hot water supply; typical wash temperature
around 70 °C for caustic stage. Filtration: internal filtration
plus 0.2 μm microfiltration for process water. Sanitation: cleaning
and sanitization stages including pre-wash and rinse, with detergent
and disinfectant dosing; thermal insulation of tanks and piping for
energy efficiency. System Architecture and Process Flow Returnable
bottle cycle (full washing and rinsing) Automatic loading into baskets
via push bars. Pre-wash spray to remove dirt and label residues.
Immersion in hot caustic bath to disintegrate adhesives and organic
matter. High-pressure internal and external washing through jetting
manifolds. Multiple recirculating rinses followed by a final rinse
with clean water or potable/demineralized water. Continuous label and
debris extraction with filtration to prevent clogging. New bottle
cycle (rinsing only) Spray pre-wash. Pre-treatment with detergent
solution. Internal and external washing as required. Multi-stage
rinsing and transfer to filling or storage. Immersion and label
management stage Pre-wash and wash for removal of labels and residues.
Sequential immersion and spray jets with controlled dosing and
temperature. Rinse-water recovery and recycling via collection tanks
and purification filters. Mechanical Structure and Handling Welded
AISI 304 stainless-steel frame with inspection and maintenance doors.
Basket housing with shelves and supports for secure handling.
Conveyors and push-bar mechanisms for infeed and discharge.
Multi-section stainless-steel tanks, recirculating pumps, valves, and
drain circuits. Label removal mechanism and continuous filtration for
high operational availability. Automation, Electrical, and Control
PLC-based control system (Siemens / Omron / Allen-Bradley or
equivalent) with HMI interface. Configurable parameters: cycle time,
temperature, water flow, chemical dosing. Integrated monitoring of
motors and pumps with fault detection and thermal protection. Safety
features: start/stop controls, emergency stops, interlocked safety
guards. Compatible with SCADA/MES systems for integration with modern
bottling lines. Performance, Efficiency, and Flexibility Three
integrated cycles for both returnable and new bottles. Multi-stage
rinsing reduces water usage while ensuring hygienic results. Energy
efficiency through heat exchanger, insulated tanks, and water
recirculation. Gentle handling path minimizes bottle impact and
breakage. Modular design allows stand-alone operation or integration
into complete bottling lines. Safety and Compliance Conforms to CE
regulations with emergency stops and interlocked guards. Overload
protection on moving parts. Easy access points for inspection and
service. Design emphasizes operator safety, cleanability, and quick
maintenance. Summary In summary, the Used Automatic Bottle Washer ATES
Giorgia 8000 bph is an industrial-grade, continuous-motion glass
bottle washer configured for rigorous cleaning performance and low
operational overhead. With an integrated suite of washing, rinsing,
and label removal systems, optimized utility consumption, and robust
mechanical construction, this machine represents an efficient solution
for the hygienic preparation of glass bottles in beverage production
environments. The combination of advanced process engineering and
straightforward user controls ensures consistent results across a wide
range of bottle types and production cond
