Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of beverage filling, and more particularly to a scale cleaning device for a beverage filling line. Background Art
[0002] Fluid filling lines are generally used for cleaning, filling, capping, labeling, and coding of various liquids, pastes, and semi-fluids. Domestic fluid filling lines are generally categorized into three types: rotary, linkage, and linear. Different cleaning machines are designed for different bottle shapes, including chain-track, rotary backflush, and air-blowing types. Users must select the most suitable cleaning machine based on their specific bottle shape.
[0003] Because residual liquid remains on PET bottles after filling on existing filling lines, scale still remains after the first cleaning, affecting product quality. Therefore, a secondary cleaning mechanism is installed at the front-end air-drying station to perform a second cleaning of the scale on the bottle exterior. The secondary cleaning mechanism uses specially prepared distilled water that does not accumulate on the bottle exterior to spray onto the tube exterior, thereby improving the situation of scale accumulation on the bottle exterior. Therefore, a scale cleaning device for beverage filling lines is proposed to solve the above-mentioned existing problems. Utility Model Content

The water then flows into an RO water purifier through a drain port, thereby removing calcium and magnesium ions in the water, and then recycling it. This not only saves water resources, but also has a good cleaning effect on the scale on the beverage bottles.
