Customized requirements or legal specifications often call for an internal cleaning of new containers of glass or plastic, new PET bottles, cans etc. before filling.

With the Gronemeyer bottle turner, you have the facility of rinsing or blowing-out the new containers before filling. In this system, the products can be turned either upwards or downwards (depending on product and infeed height). This flexibility in construction also enables cleaning of the material to be conveyed together with up- or downward transport (e.g. from one floor into the over-/underlying floor).

Bottle turner

The Gronemeyer bottle turner can be supplied with or without blowing-out facility. For better removing of dirt deposits, we additionally offer a pneumatic vibration device. Similarly, a three-stage sterile air system is also available, which can be connected to the compressed air net.

Residual liquid draining

The Gronemeyer residual liquid drainer was developed especially for the requirements of modern PET multiple-way lines. Before refilling, a functional safe inspection of multi-path PET bottles is only possible with a low quantity of left-over liquid. Bottles with large left-over liquid can also be drained out by the turning process. For this purpose by a bypass the relevant bottles are conveyed into the Gronemeyer residual liquid drainer, which turns them by 180°. The drainer conveys the bottles gentle without cycling in a continuous material flow and with a minimum of noise. In this overhead position the liquid may drain out. After the second turning the bottles are positioned onto a discharging conveyor and are checked once again by a liquid detector. By this arrangement, despite of the compact construction of the installation, even completely filled bottles may be drained totally by running through the bypass.
