Automatic Air-jet Cleaning Machine


Application & Process
The Pharmateq Automatic Air Jet Cleaning Machine with an inbuilt unscrambler is a compact unit designed for cleaning dry syrup PET bottles prior to filling.
The Pharmateq Automatic Air Jet Cleaning Machine operates on the principle of back pressure. Bottles are fed by the unscrambler to the separator assembly, which transfers them onto a conveyor belt, pushing them into the cleaning section sequentially. The machine comprises two inverters and a cleaning section.
Bottles are guided by the rotating separator towards the in-feed inverter, which orients them in the wrong direction and directs them to the cleaning section using back pressure from other bottles. The cleaning section is equipped with a continuous vacuum system. As bottles enter the cleaning section, a pair of nozzles flushes air into the bottle neck while the vacuum simultaneously removes dislodged particles.
After cleaning, bottles are directed to another inverter, which reorients them correctly. From there, the bottles proceed to the filling machine or the next processing stage.
Application & Process Operation:
Containers are manually placed into pockets on the machine's top plate. A continuous vacuum system in the cleaning section activates when photo sensors detect the containers. Air is flushed inside the container neck while the vacuum system simultaneously sucks out any dislodged particles.
