Used R. BARDI nilo 2-20R bottle washer 20000 BPHTechnical
Specifications & Performance DataThe R. Bardi Nilo 2-20R is a linear
bottle washer designed for returnable glass bottle handling in
bottling and industrial packaging operations. Manufactured in 2002,
this machine is engineered to support high-throughput washing
processes within a used bottling line, combining bottle cleaning
performance with format flexibility.Manufacturer: R. BardiModel: Nilo
2-20RYear of manufacture: 2002Maximum output: up to 20,000
bottles/hourConfiguration: LinearOperating pressure: 6 barCompatible
formats: 0.25L, 0.33L, 0.5L and 0.75L bottles, plus other
formatsContainer material: GlassAdvanced Automation & Control
SystemsThis bottle washing machine is intended for continuous
industrial operation, with a linear layout that supports controlled
bottle transport through the washing process. Its design is suitable
for integration into automated beverage production environments where
reliable handling of returnable bottles is required. The stated 6 bar
operating pressure should be considered when assessing the
compressed-air infrastructure of the installation.Format-specific
adjustments are important for maintaining stable bottle movement and
effective cleaning performance. Before commissioning, operators should
verify the compatibility of guides, carriers, infeed and discharge
interfaces with the glass bottle formats to be processed.Production
Line Integration CapabilitiesThe Nilo 2-20R is suited to the washing
stage of a returnable glass bottle production line. In a typical used
bottling line, it is positioned after bottle unloading, decrating and
decapping operations, and before empty-bottle inspection, filling,
capping, labeling and secondary packaging.The machine processes
returnable glass bottles with paper labels, paper and aluminum labels,
as well as unlabeled bottles. This capability makes it relevant for
industrial packaging lines handling recovered containers that require
preparation before refilling. The supported 0.25L, 0.33L, 0.5L and
0.75L formats provide flexibility for beverage production applications
using multiple bottle sizes.Machine Condition & Maintenance HistoryThe
machine is currently in operation and can be inspected while running
in production until April 2027. Its operating condition can be
verified directly before purchase. The stated commercial condition is
as inspected and accepted, and a 6-month warranty is included.For a
second hand bottle washer, an on-site operational inspection provides
an opportunity to assess bottle flow, washing-cycle performance,
format handling and integration requirements against the intended
production line configuration.Operational Performance &
VersatilityDesigned for returnable glass bottle applications, this R.
Bardi bottle washer supports the preparation of labeled and unlabeled
containers for reuse. Washing equipment of this type is a central
element in returnable bottling operations, helping remove labels and
prepare bottles for downstream inspection and filling.The linear
machine arrangement supports orderly bottle movement through the
washing section and facilitates incorporation into glass bottling
equipment layouts. Its output of up to 20,000 bottles/hour makes it
suitable for industrial packaging operations requiring consistent
throughput.Installation Requirements & Site PreparationInstallation
planning should account for the machine footprint, bottle infeed and
discharge conveyors, access for routine service, and suitable drainage
arrangements for washing operations. The site should provide
compressed air compatible with the stated 6 bar operating
pressure.Connection interfaces with upstream returnable-bottle
handling equipment and downstream empty-bottle inspection equipment
should be checked during line engineering. Bottle formats, conveyor
elevations and transfer timing should be coordinated to ensure smooth
integration into the existing bottling line.Safety Standards &
Compliance CertificationThe machine data plate carries CE marking.
Safe operation requires appropriate guarding, controlled access to
moving bottle-handling areas, and adherence to site safety procedures
during operation, cleaning and maintenance activities.For beverage
production installations, the bottle washer should be assessed as part
of the complete line safety arrangement, including emergency-stop
interfaces, conveyor protection, utility isolation and safe access for
operators and maintenance personnel.
