Drum washing machineIt is a device that uses physical methods such as water or airflow to clean, fill, and disinfect the inner, outer, bottom, and mouth of a bottle. It usually includes multiple rollers, with bottles entering the spray area for cleaning and disinfection between the rollers, then transferring between the rollers, and finally outputting the bottles from the outlet. The number of rollers varies depending on different equipment models and manufacturers. Generally speaking, small and medium-sized drum type bottle washing machines include 4-6 rollers, while large drum type bottle washing machines can have 8-12 rollers. The drum type bottle washing machine can be customized according to customer needs, so the number and arrangement of drums can also be adjusted.
Drum washing machineCore application industries and scenarios:
1. Pharmaceutical industry (high cleanliness requirement scenario)
The pharmaceutical industry has high requirements for container cleanliness (in accordance with GMP standards), and the drum bottle washing machine is one of the core cleaning equipment, mainly used for:
Cleaning of medicinal glass bottles: such as ampoules, penicillin bottles, oral liquid bottles, infusion bottles, etc., it is necessary to remove dust, glass debris, microorganisms, and residual pollutants inside the bottles, providing a "sterile container foundation" for subsequent drug filling and sterilization processes.
Features: It is usually equipped with a multi-stage cleaning process (such as pre rinsing → alkali soaking/spraying → purified water rinsing → injection water final washing), and some equipment integrates drying function to meet pharmaceutical grade cleanliness standards.
Cleaning of medicinal plastic bottles: For oral solid medicinal plastic bottles (made of HDPE material), it is necessary to clean the release agent and particle impurities inside the bottle to avoid affecting the stability of the drug.
2. Food and beverage industry (food safety compliance scenario)
The food and beverage industry needs to ensure that containers are free of oil stains, odors, and microbial residues. The drum bottle washing machine is mainly used for:
Beverage bottle cleaning: including recycling bottles (such as glass beer bottles, glass soy sauce bottles) and new bottles (such as PET beverage bottles, glass juice bottles), it is necessary to remove residual beverages, label glue, and dust inside the bottles. In some scenarios, external wall cleaning should also be considered (such as removing stains on the bottle body).
Example: Cleaning of recycled glass bottles in a brewery, cleaning of glass vinegar/soy sauce bottles in a seasoning factory.
Cleaning of food packaging bottles/cans: For glass jars, jam jars, honey bottles, etc., it is necessary to clean the metal debris (residue from new bottle production) and dust inside the bottles to avoid contaminating the food contents.
Cleaning of dairy product containers: such as small glass acid milk bottles and lactobacillus beverage bottles, it is necessary to remove the residual milk protein inside the bottles (which is prone to bacterial growth), and after cleaning, it is necessary to cooperate with the sterilization process.
3. Daily chemical industry (standardized cleaning scenarios)
Containers for daily chemical products (such as detergents, skincare products, cosmetics) should avoid residual impurities that may affect the appearance and stability of the products. The drum bottle washing machine is mainly used for:
Cleaning of daily chemical glass bottles: such as skin care glass bottles (essence bottles, face cream bottles), shampoo/shower gel glass bottles, glass dust and mold oil stains in the bottles need to be removed, and some bottle labels need to be cleaned (recycling scenarios).
Plastic daily chemical bottle cleaning: For PET material laundry detergent bottles and hand sanitizer bottles (new or recycled bottles), it is necessary to clean the injection residue and electrostatic adsorption dust inside the bottles.
4. Laboratories and research institutions (precise cleaning scenarios)
The laboratory has strict requirements for the cleanliness of reagent bottles and sample bottles (to avoid cross contamination), and the drum washing machine is suitable for:
Cleaning of experimental glassware, such as volumetric flasks, reagent bottles, sampling bottles, centrifuge tubes, etc., requires the removal of chemical reagent residues (such as acids, bases, organic solvents) and sample residues inside the bottles. Some equipment can be adapted to "small capacity, multi specification" bottle types to meet the flexibility requirements of experimental scenarios.
Cleaning of medical research containers: such as microbial culture bottles and specimen bottles, microbial residues need to be removed, and some must meet the "sterile cleaning" standard.
5. Electronics and New Energy Industry (Precision Cleaning Scenario)
Some containers in this industry (such as electrolyte bottles and reagent bottles) need to avoid particle impurities affecting product performance. The drum bottle washing machine is used for:
Cleaning of electronic grade reagent bottles: For glass/plastic bottles containing photoresist and electronic grade solvents, it is necessary to remove micron sized particles (such as dust and metal ions) inside the bottle, and after cleaning, it must meet the "dust-free" standard.
Cleaning of new energy material containers: such as lithium battery electrolyte storage bottles and positive electrode material sample bottles, impurities should be avoided from affecting the electrochemical performance of the battery.
