This PAC Flaschenreinigungsmaschine Beverage Machine is a beverage machine — specifically a fully automatic returnable glass bottle washer, sometimes referred to as a bottle cleaning machine — designed to clean and prepare reusable glass bottles for refilling within medium-capacity beverage production lines. PAC is a German manufacturer, and this unit was built in Germany in 1998, reflecting the engineering standards associated with German beverage and packaging machinery of that era.
The machine operates at a rated throughput of 7,500 bottles per hour, with an adjustable speed range spanning 3,750 to 7,875 bottles per hour, allowing operators to match output to line requirements. The cycle time stands at 6.72 seconds per cycle, while the total treatment time a bottle undergoes inside the machine is 11.65 minutes. Bottle formats up to Euro-NRW can be accommodated, and the machine handles 14 bottles per carrier row. At any given moment, 1,456 bottles are present inside the machine across 110 bottle carrier trays.
Cleaning is achieved through a multi-stage process incorporating caustic and hot-water baths. The effective spray times are precisely specified: hot lye, lye II, hot water II, and hot water I each receive 8.96 seconds of spray treatment, cold water receives 13.44 seconds, and fresh water spray runs for a maximum of 8.96 seconds per stage.
In terms of utilities, water consumption is rated at 3.25 to 3.38 cubic metres per hour at 60 °C, and the electrical power connection requirement falls between 12.0 and 12.9 kW. Thermal energy consumption is specified at 3,528,000 kJ/h.
The machine's overall dimensions are 7,020 mm in length including the cabinet, 1,725 mm in frame width, and 2,300 mm in height. The unit has accumulated 14,175 operating hours and is offered in used, good working condition, currently located in Germany.
