Used bottel washer dryer GAI - 3500 BPHTechnical Specifications &
Performance DataThe Bottle Washer Dryer 5008 is a rotary carousel
drying unit engineered for reliable bottle handling within a used
bottling line or standalone drying station. Manufactured by Cimec,
this second hand machine delivers consistent performance for beverage
production and industrial packaging applications where efficient
moisture removal is required before downstream labeling, capsule
application, or case packing.Model: 5008Year of manufacture:
2002Production speed: up to 3,500 bottles per hourBottle formats
(volumetric): Compatible with 0.5L and 0.75L bottle formatsBottle
geometry: Cylindrical containersBottle diameter range: 60 mm to 115
mmDrying technology: Rotary carousel (hot air) with anti-condensation
featuresPLC installed: NoDocumentation: Paper manuals and electrical
schematics availableAdvanced Automation & Control SystemsThe 5008
emphasizes robust mechanical design with straightforward operator
control, ideal for facilities prioritizing simplicity and ease of
maintenance. While no PLC is installed, the machineâs hot-air
drying system integrates anti-condensation management to improve
drying effectiveness and reduce residual moisture on the bottle
surface. Safety guarding and interlocks are typically part of this
class of equipment, supporting safe operation within production
environments. Quick mechanical adjustments facilitate format changes
across the stated diameter range, helping minimize downtime between
production runs.Production Line Integration CapabilitiesThis rotary
bottle dryer can operate as a dedicated station or be integrated
inline with rinsing, filling, capsuling, and labeling equipment. It is
well suited for beverage production lines processing both PET and
glass bottles in cylindrical formats. Its compact, carousel-based
layout supports smooth infeed and discharge with standard conveyor
systems. Format changes within 60â115 mm diameter allow
flexibility across common bottle sizes, making it a practical fit for
lines handling 0.5L and 0.75L formats.Machine Condition & Maintenance
HistoryThe machine has undergone a partial refurbishment in 2025 and
has been stopped for approximately one month. It is currently packed
and covered, available for inspection. The presence of paper manuals
and electrical documentation supports easier recommissioning and
setup. Overall, the unit presents as a well-kept second hand component
suitable for integration into a used bottling line or as a targeted
retrofit in an existing beverage production facility.Operational
Performance & VersatilityThe hot-air drying concept with
anti-condensation control improves surface dryness prior to downstream
operations such as label application or capsule fitting, thereby
enhancing label adhesion and presentation. The rotary carousel design
ensures consistent residence time and uniform air exposure around the
container. Suitable for a broad range of cylindrical bottles, the 5008
supports both PET and glass handling and can complement production of
wine and other beverages where high-quality presentation and dry
surfaces are required.Installation Requirements & Site
PreparationInstallation typically involves alignment with existing
conveyors, power connection for the hot-air system, and appropriate
ventilation for heat management. The compact rotary footprint allows
efficient use of space on the production floor. Standard industrial
connections are expected for utilities; site teams should prepare
power and airflow paths according to local engineering standards and
OEM documentation provided with the machine.Safety Standards &
Compliance CertificationThe design follows established safety
practices for packaging machinery, including protective guards around
moving parts and emergency stop circuits typical for industrial
equipment. The rotary architecture enhances operator protection by
minimizing manual intervention during operation. Hygienic construction
suitable for beverage environments supports cleanability across
changeovers. This machine offers a dependable option for facilities
seeking proven drying performance within a used bottling line.
