Sidel introduces bottle washer with Hydra Ultrasonic technology

To eliminate dirt and debris from bottles the washing process requires a precise balance of temperature, concentration of chemical detergents and time

Sidel has launched its new bottle washer which combines chemical and ultrasound technology for the highest performance. Sidel will unveil Hydra Ultrasonic for the first time at the international trade show, BrauBeviale.

The growing focus on the environmental impact of packaging, combined with reuse targets set by legislation, is driving increased demand for returnable glass and PET bottle solutions. These options significantly reduce the need for primary raw materials while ensuring products are delivered safely to consumers. 

As the beverage industry further embraces the benefits of refillable returnable glass bottles, manufacturers require bottle-washing technology to safely ensure bottles are hygienically cleaned before being returned to consumers. To eliminate dirt and debris from bottles the washing process requires a precise balance of temperature, concentration of chemical detergents and time. 

Identifying the need for a high-performing bottle-washing solution while achieving substantial energy, water and chemical savings, Sidel has developed the Hydra Ultrasonic. 

“Real progress means doing more with less. That’s why, in developing our new bottle washing technology, we set ourselves two objectives: to improve the machine’s washing capacity, while at the same time reducing its overall consumptions and carbon footprint,” said Andrea Solfa, Product Manager at Sidel.
