The unit is easy to hook up---just two supply water connections and two drains are necessary.

Both washer and filler use the same electrical connection.

Over-sized filter screens provided for the pre-wash tank, wash tank and sanitize tanks minimize the screen cleaning requirement, virtually eliminating downtime for pump maintenance.

The BWF 450 automatically washes, fills and caps up to 450 bottles an hour of most standard sizes and styles without hand sorting. This is a MAJOR INDUSTRY BREAKTHROUGH!

Stainless steel piping is used throughout the BWF 450, and provides longevity, durability and virtually eliminates maintenance.

Pre-stretched strainless steel drive chains ride on self-lubricating UHMW support guides to eliminate risk of grease contamination.

Multi-function Programmable Logic Controller(PMC) provides immediate digital readout at a glance. An adjustable rinse cycle controller is factory set at 15 seconds but can be manually set at intervals up to 4 minutes.

Stack lighting indicators show operating conditions at a glance, and bottle position controls sense faults and alert the operator to problems.

Summary of pre-wash and wash features:

• Able to wash and fill a wide variety of bottle sizes at the same time without manual adjustments, thus saving time, labor and sorting costs.
• Uses recycled product rinse water, to keep the pre-wash tank cleaner, to save detergent, and to reduce the amount of separate bottle pre-cleaning required before washing.
• Low-water protection on all water tanks, to protect pumps and heating elements from potentially damaging low-water conditions.
• Electric wash water heater thermostatically controlled and separated from Promogrammable Logic Controller.
• Adjustable wash time up to four minutes per cycle. Normal wash is 60 second wash, 30 second sanitize and 15 second cycle product water rinse.
• Plexiglass-enclosed clean room separates washer unloading area from filling area.
• Bottles stop at each station to ensure highest quality, cleanest bottle possible.
• Chemical feed pumps for detergent and sanitizer solutions are easily adjustable at the PLC or pump, to maintain the proper solution concentration.

Summary of filling features:

• Stainless steel filler supply tank is designed to supply product water to the filler valves. Water does not recirculate back to the main storage tank, eliminating the threat of contaminating the large tank and substantially reducing the amount of wastewater.
• inlet/outlet bottle sensors provide positive bottle location.
• Unique "lift-and-spin" capability in the washer. Bottle "lift-and-hold" device during filling and capping process, for less damage to bottle bottoms and the central drive chain.
• Stainless steel conveyor on filler and stainless steel filler nozzles, for increased durability, longer life, easier sanitation, and minimal maintenance.

Summary of capping features:

• High capacity cap holder holds approximately 2000 caps, making hopper refill process only a twice-a-shift operation.
• Floor-level hopper means no ladder-climbing to fill sorter, making the operation easier and safer.
• Elevator automatically carries caps from hopper to pneumatically assisted cap sorter.
• Cap-sorter is quite and reliablek, with few moving parts to wear out or misalign.
