Cleaning the inside of containers has evolved. The traditional “container washers” are a thing of the past, now machines that clean with ionized air are used. This technology complies with the strictest quality standards and controls.

A two-phase system: Blowing and suction, with optimum results for all types of industries, ideal for food or pharmaceutical sectors, as they are the most demanding with regards to regulations.

Used to clean large or small containers, removing particles from inside the container (small pieces of glass or plastic), insects, or other foreign bodies, before filling.

Due to the ionization system, they can also clean electrostatically charged particles.
