Used bottle 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 machine’s 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 60–115 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.
