Rotary Carousel for Beverage Bottle Rinsing Machines

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Rotary Carousel

Definition

The Rotary Carousel is a critical component of the High-Speed Rotary Beverage Bottle Rinsing Machine, serving as the central rotating platform that securely holds multiple beverage bottles in designated positions. It systematically transports bottles through various rinsing stations (such as pre-rinse, main rinse, and final rinse zones) while maintaining precise positioning and timing synchronization with other machine components to ensure thorough and efficient cleaning. Constructed from stainless steel (grades 304 or 316L as per ASTM A240), the carousel is designed for durability and corrosion resistance in washdown environments. Its rated capacity ranges from 12,000 to 24,000 bottles per hour, depending on the carousel diameter (1200–2400 mm) and rotation speed (5–15 rpm). The drive power requirement is 1.5–5.5 kW, with a supply voltage of 380–480 V AC (three-phase, 50/60 Hz) per IEC 60038. Positioning accuracy is maintained within ±0.05 mm to ensure proper alignment with rinsing nozzles. The carousel operates in ambient temperatures of 5–40°C, with ingress protection rated IP54–IP65 per IEC 60529. The weight ranges from 800 to 2500 kg, increasing with diameter and material thickness. These specifications serve as reference ranges; actual values must be confirmed with the legal manufacturer or supplier for the specific model and application. The carousel is a component, not a standalone machine, and its integration requires careful consideration of the rinsing machine's overall design, including bottle handling, spray timing, and discharge operations.

Working Principle

The carousel rotates continuously or intermittently around a central axis, driven by an electric motor through a gear reduction system. Bottles are loaded onto the carousel at the entry station, then carried through sequential rinsing positions where nozzles spray cleaning solutions. The rotation speed and indexing are precisely controlled to coordinate with spray timing, bottle handling, and discharge operations. The carousel's positioning accuracy ensures that each bottle is correctly aligned with the nozzles at each station, allowing for effective rinsing. The drive system provides the necessary torque to handle the load, and the rotation speed is adjustable to match the required throughput. The carousel's design allows for integration with other machine components, such as infeed and outfeed conveyors, to create a continuous rinsing process.

Components / BOM

Rotating Platform
Main structural component that holds bottle fixtures and rotates around central axis

Material: Stainless Steel
Central Drive Shaft Part
Transmits rotational force from motor to the carousel platform

Material: Carbon Steel with Stainless Coating
Bottle Holding Fixtures
Securely hold beverage bottles in position during rotation and rinsing

Material: Food-Grade Plastic or Stainless Steel
Bearing Assembly
Supports rotational movement and reduces friction between stationary and rotating parts

Material: Stainless Steel with Food-Grade Lubricant
Drive Motor
Turns the carousel; without it the platform and shaft do not move.
Gear Reduction System
Steps the motor down to carousel speed and multiplies torque for the loaded platform.
Indexing Control
Holds the angular position so each bottle stops square under its nozzle.
