Technical Specifications & Performance Data The Bottle Washer Dryer
5008 is a rotary carousel drying unit engineered for reliable bottle
handling within a used bottling line or standalone drying station.
Manufactured by Cimec, this second hand machine delivers consistent
performance for beverage production and industrial packaging
applications where efficient moisture removal is required before
downstream labeling, capsule application, or case packing. Model: 5008
Year of manufacture: 2002 Production speed: up to 3,500 bottles per
hour Bottle formats (volumetric): Compatible with 0.5L and 0.75L
bottle formats Bottle geometry: Cylindrical containers Bottle diameter
range: 60 mm to 115 mm Drying technology: Rotary carousel (hot air)
with anti-condensation features PLC installed: No Documentation: Paper
manuals and electrical schematics available Advanced Automation &
Control Systems The 5008 emphasizes robust mechanical design with
straightforward operator control, ideal for facilities prioritizing
simplicity and ease of maintenance. While no PLC is installed, the
machine’s hot-air drying system integrates anti-condensation
management to improve drying effectiveness and reduce residual
moisture on the bottle surface. Safety guarding and interlocks are
typically part of this class of equipment, supporting safe operation
within production environments. Quick mechanical adjustments
facilitate format changes across the stated diameter range, helping
minimize downtime between production runs. Production Line Integration
Capabilities This rotary bottle dryer can operate as a dedicated
station or be integrated inline with rinsing, filling, capsuling, and
labeling equipment. It is well suited for beverage production lines
processing both PET and glass bottles in cylindrical formats. Its
compact, carousel-based layout supports smooth infeed and discharge
with standard conveyor systems. Format changes within 60–115 mm
diameter allow flexibility across common bottle sizes, making it a
practical fit for lines handling 0.5L and 0.75L formats. Machine
Condition & Maintenance History The machine has undergone a partial
refurbishment in 2025 and has been stopped for approximately one
month. It is currently packed and covered, available for inspection.
The presence of paper manuals and electrical documentation supports
easier recommissioning and setup. Overall, the unit presents as a
well-kept second hand component suitable for integration into a used
bottling line or as a targeted retrofit in an existing beverage
production facility. Operational Performance & Versatility The hot-air
drying concept with anti-condensation control improves surface dryness
prior to downstream operations such as label application or capsule
fitting, thereby enhancing label adhesion and presentation. The rotary
carousel design ensures consistent residence time and uniform air
exposure around the U6354234 container. Suitable for a broad range of
cylindrical bottles, the 5008 supports both PET and glass handling and
can complement production of wine and other beverages where
high-quality presentation and dry surfaces are required. Installation
Requirements & Site Preparation Installation typically involves
alignment with existing conveyors, power connection for the hot-air
system, and appropriate ventilation for heat management. The compact
rotary footprint allows efficient use of space on the production
floor. Standard industrial connections are expected for utilities;
site teams should prepare power and airflow paths according to local
engineering standards and OEM documentation provided with the machine.
Safety Standards & Compliance Certification The design follows
established safety practices for packaging machinery, including
protective guards around moving parts and emergency stop circuits
typical for industrial equipment. The rotary architecture enhances
operator protection by minimizing manual intervention during
operation. Hygienic construction suitable for beverage environments
supports cleanability across changeovers. This machine offers a
dependable option for facilities seeking proven drying performance
within a used bottling line.
