Bottle cleaning
LevelPoint Level

Overview
Before they are filled with beer, the bottles are thoroughly cleaned. The bottles are fed into the system and filled with caustic water in the basin of the washing facility, which removes all coarse dirt and contamination. Water at different temperatures is then sprayed into the bottles via high-pressure nozzles in order to remove any remaining dirt and the caustic solution. To ensure optimal system operation, the level in the basin is hydrostatically monitored. In addition, the pressure in the supply line to the basin and in the water pipeline to the rinsing nozzles is measured.
