BEVCO M510 Inline Bottle Gripper Rinser, Cleaner, Cap Sterilizer

A Bevco Inline Bottle Gripper Rinser is an automated packaging machine that uses gentle grippers to hold bottles upside down and clean the inside of the containers with air, ionized air, or water before they are filled. These rinsers are designed to remove loose dust and debris from bottles and can be part of a chemical sanitation system, making them suitable for various food and beverage applications. How it works: Gripping: The machine uses soft grippers to hold bottles from the sides, preventing damage. Rinsing: While inverted, the bottles are rinsed by a spray manifold or nozzles using a chosen medium, such as clean air, ionized air, or water. Dust removal: The process is designed to remove loose particulate or dust from the inside of the bottles. Sanitation: In some cases, a chemical sanitation solution can be used for an added level of cleaning. Automation: The machinery is often PLC-controlled with features like photo-eye sensors to detect product and bottle backup, and it can operate at high speeds (e.g., up to 500+ CPM). Key features; Versatility: Can handle a wide range of containers, including round and non-round shapes, in various materials like glass, PET, and HDPE. Adjustability: Many models include hand-crank adjustments for easy container size changeovers. Construction: Typically built with stainless steel for durability and to meet food-grade standards. Safety: Often equipped with features like an emergency discharge jam switch to prevent damage if the line jams. Integration: Can be integrated into a larger packaging line or customized, such as the “Lowerator-Rinser” which lowers bottles from a high-level depalletizer to a lower-level filler.
