Lorenzo Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Hi All, Trying to find the best way to clean bottles before filling, during my research to source a system ,came across several options, Water, Co2, or Argon gas, what is the most used system in your distillery(s), the water option seems like it would take more time to rinse and dry and if you have a lot of product to bottle you would need a good size drying rack . Thanks ! Lorenzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silk City Distillers Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 What's the reason you are cleaning bottles? Particulate or dust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzo Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Silk it would be dust for the most part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 We built our own ionized air cleaner for bottles with off-the-shelf parts. It works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard1 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Air cleaner is fine BUT I feel that the biggest problem is from dust and storage. Dust will require a liquid rinse but storage is another issue. Have bottles been bulk stored outside (damp and moisture), what are the dividing boards between bottles. If plastic, fine but if cardboard or masonite, then mould is or may be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzo Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Marc, interested in building an ionized air cleaner can I contact you for a parts list ? Lor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silk City Distillers Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 If you can DIY - I have some extra ionizing bottle rinse parts. I have a Simco ION power supply and long bottle rinse nozzle. Just one extra nozzle though. You'll need an air/gas regulator, a gas solenoid, and a timer.
