In brief

Prove the cleaning result, point-of-use air and handling before selection. Assess liquid compatibility, drainage and any drying step; do not assume it is interchangeable with air rinsing.

For routine production using bottle air-rinsing equipment, a short trial that reproduces the difficult condition is often more useful than a long list of nominal specifications.

On the production floor

Compare options in the conditions where they must work — Bottle Air Rinsers

Plan bottle air rinsing around the incoming empty bottles, point-of-use air, debris removal and handling before filling. Discuss the required cleaning result and line connections with Lancing using representative samples. A useful shortlist should show how every option copes with bottle air-rinsing equipment product behaviour and cleaning, access and changeover method.
