Overview This KHS Innoclean is a single-end bottle washer for
returnable glass bottles, built in 2007. It cleans and de-labels empty
bottles before filling. The bottles are pushed into the cells of the
carrier baskets, 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, and are handed back onto
the bottle conveyor at the discharge. Nineteen bottles are handled
across the machine width in 4,275 cells. Output is adjustable between
2,800 and 14,500 bottles per hour; the machine was configured for
13,200 bottles per hour of 0.75 l glass bottles at 18.7 minutes total
dwell time and 10.8 minutes of caustic contact. In 2022 KHS modernised
drive and operator station. The machine runs the Triple-i-Drive with
individual servo-controlled geared motors and is operated from a
capacitive multi-touch panel with a graphical, component-based
interface and RFID user login. The modernisation is covered by a KHS
manual supplement dated November 2022. Technical data Manufacturer:
