Washing systems

Compact tunnel with separate water tank and water treatment / Automatic in-line in chain conveyor

The automatic cylinder washing system WAS is an independent system designed for in-line installation in a chain conveyor. The WAS is designed as a compact tunnel that is insulated to minimize both heat loss and noise level from the washing and drying processes.

In the washing section of the tunnel, heated/pressurised soap water is sprayed onto the moving cylinders in all directions with arrays of nozzles.
The washed cylinders are blown dry with compressed air through a set of air blades in the drying section of the tunnel.

The water treatment/recirculation system ensures continuous operation with the lowest possible water consumption. A ventilation system minimises moisture release from the tunnel to the surrounding environment.

This system is compatible with MAKEEN Energy's Industry 4.0 Digital Solutions, which enables data capturing of the process for remote supervision, performance optimisation, and predictive/preventive maintenance alerts through e.g. a MAKEEN Energy cloud solution (optional).

Safety and profits

  • Clean bottles are perceived as safe bottles, which increases customer satisfaction and sales
  • Longer cylinder service life with improved surface protection against corrosion (reduces the need for frequent painting)
  • Low water consumption
  • Minimal noise pollution, as noise from the washing/drying processes is contained by special insulation in the tunnel
  • Moisture released from the washing process is safely ventilated to the external atmosphere (no moisture released into the plant prevents adverse effects to sensitive components, e.g. pneumatic valves)
  • Washing composite cylinders is an effective method to ensure the electrostatic discharge of the cylinder surfaces when received at the filling plant
  • Improved hygiene (a clean bottle causes the growth of bacteria on the bottles to be inhibited considerably)

Maximum production uptime

  • Automatic predictive and preventive maintenance alerts with MAKEEN Energy’s Industry 4.0 Digital Solution to avoid breakdowns (optional)
  • Automatic operation stops (e.g. low compressed air pressure) prevent process errors and assist in quick restarting
  • Robustly designed and protected (e.g. stainless steel) for long-lasting performance

Optimised production

  • Remote supervision with MAKEEN Energy’s Industry 4.0 Digital Solution for production optimisation (optional)
  • Highly efficient thorough cleaning of cylinders from all kinds of dirt and grease
