Automatic Glass Bottle Cleaning System for Breweries

Bottle Washing Machine

200–600 Bottles/H Throughput Siemens PLC Control Electric or Steam Heating

Product Description:

The bottle washing machine from ZR BREW is a fully automatic glass bottle cleaning system designed for breweries, beverage production facilities, and bottling lines requiring reliable, high-throughput bottle sanitation before filling. Using an invert washing method with sequential hot water, caustic, and optional sanitiser treatment stages, the machine thoroughly cleans and prepares glass bottles to food-safe standards in a single continuous process. All parameters — including washing time, temperature, and cycle sequence — are controlled by a Siemens programmable controller and are fully adjustable without stopping the machine, making it a practical and efficient solution for craft breweries, microbreweries, and commercial beverage bottling operations integrating a complete packaging line.

Advantage of Configuration

Invert Washing Method for Thorough Interior Bottle Cleaning
Bottles are held and washed in an inverted position throughout the cleaning cycle, allowing hot water, caustic solution, and sanitiser to drain freely from the bottle interior under gravity — achieving more thorough cleaning coverage of the internal glass surface than upright washing methods, and preventing residue pooling at the bottle base.

Siemens PLC Control with On-the-Fly Parameter Adjustment
All washing cycle parameters — including soaking time, spray duration, temperature setpoints, and sequence timing — are managed by a Siemens programmable controller. Parameters can be adjusted by the operator at any point during production without interrupting or stopping the machine, reducing downtime during production shifts and enabling rapid changeovers between different bottle formats or cleaning protocols.

Flexible Heating Method: Electric or Steam
The machine is available with either electric heating or steam heating, allowing buyers to select the configuration that matches their facility’s energy infrastructure without the need for additional utility installation. Steam heating is suited to facilities with existing boiler capacity; electric heating provides a self-contained solution for facilities without steam supply.

Three-Tank Configuration for Enhanced Microbial Control
The three-tank configuration adds a dedicated sanitiser tank to the standard hot water and caustic cleaning stages, providing a three-stage wash sequence — pre-wash, caustic cleaning, and final sanitisation — that meets more stringent microbial control requirements for commercial beer bottling, export market compliance, and HACCP-aligned production environments.

World Top-Brand Accessories for Process Reliability
Main mechanical and electrical components are sourced from globally recognised top-tier brands, reducing the risk of component failure during continuous commercial bottling operations and supporting long-term maintenance with readily available replacement parts in most international markets.

Two-Tank or Three-Tank Configuration to Match Line Requirements
Buyers can select a two-tank or three-tank setup based on their cleaning protocol requirements, production environment, and hygienic standards — providing flexibility to specify the machine precisely for the sanitation demands of their bottling line without paying for excess capacity or unnecessary stages.

Beer Bottling Machine

The beer bottling machine from ZR BREW is a fully automatic bottle filling and capping system engineered for craft breweries, microbreweries, and commercial beer production facilities requiring consistent, high-throughput bottling performance with minimal beer loss. Using an isobaric filling method with CO₂ pressurisation and vacuumisation, the machine completes bottle filling and crown capping in a single continuous pass — delivering stable, precise fills with a built-in pressure compensator that maintains process integrity across each bottling run. Available in 4-head, 6-head, 8-head, and 10-head configurations to match your current production volume and allow for future capacity expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of production facility is this bottle washing machine designed for?

The bottle washing machine is designed for craft breweries, microbreweries, commercial beer producers, and beverage bottling facilities that wash and reuse glass bottles before filling or that require pre-sanitation of new bottles before use. It is suitable for integration into a continuous bottling line directly upstream of a filling and capping machine, and is available in two configurations — two-tank and three-tank — to match different sanitation protocol requirements.
What is the difference between the two-tank and three-tank configurations?

The two-tank configuration includes a hot water tank and a caustic tank, providing a two-stage wash cycle of pre-washing and chemical cleaning. The three-tank configuration adds a dedicated sanitiser tank as a third stage, delivering a full hot wash, caustic clean, and final sanitisation sequence. The three-tank configuration is recommended for production environments with stricter microbial control requirements, export market compliance standards, or where a final rinse with sanitising solution is required before bottles proceed to filling.
Can the bottle washing machine handle different bottle sizes?

Yes. The machine is designed to handle glass bottles from 330ml up to 2L. Buyers with non-standard bottle dimensions or shapes outside this range should confirm compatibility with ZR BREW’s technical team at the quotation stage. The Siemens PLC controller allows cycle timing and parameters to be adjusted to suit different bottle volumes and glass thicknesses without stopping the machine during a production run.
What heating method does the bottle washing machine use, and does it require a separate boiler?

The machine is available with either electric heating or steam heating — buyers select their preferred option at the time of order based on their facility’s energy supply. Electric heating operates as a self-contained system and does not require an external boiler or steam supply infrastructure. Steam heating is suitable for facilities that already have a central steam boiler supplying other equipment on site, such as a steam-heated brewhouse or packaging line.
What information should buyers confirm before ordering the bottle washing machine?

Before placing an order, buyers should confirm the following: primary bottle size and format to be washed (330ml, 650ml, or up to 2L), required throughput in bottles per hour, preferred heating method (electric or steam), local electrical supply standard, available floor space for machine installation, whether two-tank or three-tank configuration is required based on sanitation protocol, and whether the machine will operate as a standalone unit or as part of a connected bottling line with upstream and downstream equipment. ZR BREW’s technical team will confirm the appropriate configuration and issue a detailed quotation based on these requirements.
