Working Principle.

The machine is built on the principle of easy loading & linear movement of the jars where washing is done in stages. The jars are loaded in an inverted position on a Stainless Steel conveyor with a cup for holding the Jar. A spring sensor is tripped which initiates the machine to start the washing sequence. 

The washing cycle is of 4 stages namely

 1st stage Hot water wash
 2nd stage Hot water wash
 3rd stage with Normal water after the carbon filter free of Chlorine.
 4th stage with the final product water.
 

The 1st & 2nd stage wash is with hot water & detergent or disinfectant (chlorine Dioxide) from the bottom tank which is recycled every 2 hours. Stainless Steel pumps are provided to achieve high pressure wash thru nozzles to clean the inside of the jars. (Outer cleaning by high pressure wash can also be included in different models). The time period for the washing sequence can be adjusted and roughly is taken as 20-25 seconds. After the 2nd stage the Jar is then subjected to a Normal water wash (3rd stage) thru a separate Stainless Steel pump and tank, which uses water which is free from chlorine and preferably after the carbon filter, for the removal of any detergent or disinfectant. This water is also recycled water from the 4th stage i.e. the product water and hence saves a lot of water.
  
The 4th and final stage comprises of a final water wash for a period of 5-10 seconds (time period can be adjusted) where in the product water is used to achieve a complete clean jar free from any dirt, detergent, disinfectant or microbes. After draining the water, the Jar is then inverted and pushed to the filling station where the sensor starts the filling operation and product water is filled thru a separate Stainless Steel pump.

The capping is then automatically done by a pneumatic header which automatically picks the caps from the cap bowl provided at the top. You can load upto 50 caps at a time in the bowl. The machine then pushes the filled jar outside on a conveyor or trolley. It can be picked up manually also.

Ease of Operation

The jars are simply loaded inverted on the Stainless Steel conveyor’s plastic cup; the machine then moves the jar through out all the stages on pneumatic pressure. The jar is not touched through out the complete cycle. Sensors are provided at every point & the machine starts each operation once the Jar is in position for a particular washing stage. Caps can be loaded in any position in the cap bowl, which are later sorted accordingly and capping is done automatically once the Jar is filled. It requires only 2-3 persons for operating this machine.
