摘要

Method for cleaning plastic bottles comprises passing the bottles (2) in cells (1) attached to a chain conveyor (3) through a cleaning bath and a spray zone to an ejection table (9). The novelty is that sterile compressed air is blown against the base of the bottle to overcome adhesion between it and the cell. An Independent claim is included for a machine for carrying out the method with a row of nozzles (10) fitted along the bottle chute (5) before the entrance(4) to the ejection section.
