This Poggio FM 97 is a used beverage machine — specifically a bottle washer — forming part of a large-scale spirits bottling complex located in Estonia. Manufactured in 2003 and carrying serial number 2327, it is the first piece of process equipment on Line 1 of the facility, positioned after the feeder and ahead of a Seitz-Werke filler. Poggio is an Italian manufacturer known for the design and production of bottle washing and rinsing equipment used across the beverage, spirits, and food industries.
The machine is offered not as a standalone unit but as a component within what is described as the largest bottling plant in the Baltic region. The wider facility is capable of producing up to 70,000 bottles per shift and is paired with stainless steel storage tanks totalling 360,000 litres in combined capacity, making it suited to bulk spirits production. Twenty-four stainless steel tanks are included in the complex, along with the capacity to handle up to 15 different spirit types simultaneously across the lines.
Line 1, on which this Poggio bottle washer sits, supports bottle formats of 0.5 l, 0.7 l, and 1.0 l and delivers a line throughput of 30 litres per minute. The line also includes a Seitz-Werke filler (1974, serial no. 2423), an Alcoa PP390 screw capper (1992, serial no. 54786), and a Gernep 12-640 RA labelling machine. Three further bottling lines are part of the same complex: Line 2 features a Leitz filler with 54 dispensers and runs at 62 l/min; Line 3 incorporates a Kammann compound feed unit (1981, serial no. 6412) and a 12-dispenser filler, with throughput up to 100 l/min; and Line 4 includes a Bertolaso Sigma 103 capper (1980, serial no. 337129) and reaches up to 100 l/min. Lines 3 and 4 are configured for plastic bottle filling.
Supporting infrastructure at the facility includes a water filtration and reverse osmosis system, a film packer-tunnel-elevator produced by Doboj (1980), and a 140-metre on-site water well that was historically used in the production of internationally recognised spirit brands. The plant has an attached presentation with further detail on the location and facilities.
