Listed below are some of the problems that can occur during the production process of bottle pasteurising and the solutions that Secomak can offer.

APPLICATION PROBLEM:

The pasteurising process often involves bottles being held under hot water drench for long periods of time. These bottles often leave the process wet. Large volumes of water can be carried away from the pasteurising area into other production areas, by both the bottles and the conveyor system.

This can cause potential slip hazards and the unnecessary formation of additional cleaning requirements.

A Secomak drying solution for bottle pasteurising applications is to dry the bottled products at the exit of the pasteurising machine, using one of the drying systems mentioned below.

The Secomak Airknife Drying System that can these wet bottle problems are:

• Airknives & Airknife Kit (Right)

The airknives attach onto conveyor exits helping to remove the excess water. Secomak are also in the process of developing a system for recovering the water using a patented bulk water extraction system.

The benefits of using Air Knife Drying Kits for bottle pasteurising applications include:

• An increase in safety for production operators.
• An improvement in downstream processes.
• Cleaning requirements being reduced.
