• Preparing food-grade plastic containers for packaging various products.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Rotary rinsers of this class commonly offer throughputs ranging from 50 to 200 containers per minute, depending on container size and cycle time.

Power supply

Units like this typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, for motor operation.

Construction material

As indicated, stainless steel construction is standard for food processing equipment, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Number of stations

An 18-station configuration suggests a good balance of throughput and dwell time for effective rinsing.

Mobility

Mobile units are highly advantageous for flexible line integration and ease of cleaning or relocation within a facility.

Rinsing medium

This unit uses air rinsing, which is suitable for dry contaminants and avoids the need for water drying.

Container size range

For this type of equipment, it typically handles a range of container sizes, often requiring change parts for different diameters and heights.
