What head count means
A 12 head bottle washing machine uses multiple rinse or wash positions to achieve the required dwell time and output. Head count should be matched to bottle size and line speed.
Bottle handling and indexing
The machine must position each bottle consistently. Bottle diameter, height, neck opening and stability affect whether the route is suitable.
Water, air and drying
Some systems combine water washing with air blowing or drying. Utility capacity and drainage should be calculated before installation.
Output expectations
Actual output depends on bottle size, cycle time, transfer method, rinse duration and downstream line speed, so it should be confirmed for the exact bottle.
