The conventional bottle washing machine shown in FIG. 4 has the following problems. That is, the bottle 1 is in the air between the hot caustic tanks 5 and 6, between the hot caustic tank 6 and the weak caustic tank 7, and between the weak caustic tank 7 and the rinsing tank 8 for a long time (about 1 hour). ) When stopped, white cloudiness (white turbidity) occurs on the surface of the bottle 1. This cloudy bottle 1 is difficult to wash even through a washing machine again, and it is necessary to manually wash the cloudy bottle again, which has been a hindrance to a decrease in operating rate and labor saving.

As described above, in order for the surface of the bottle 1 to become cloudy, it is necessary to use three components: CaO as a glass component, NaOH as a caustic liquid, and CO 2 in the air. Conversely, the occurrence of cloudiness can be prevented by excluding any of the three koki. (1) Excludes CaO as a glass component. There is no technical problem in producing glass that does not contain CaO as a component, and high-grade glass such as Pyrex is on the market, but it is not practical to use it for general beverage bottles because of the high cost. ..

The cost of NaOH is low. High sterilizing power. The cleaning of glass bottles is a detergent that has been generally used for a long time, such that it does not attack the glass for a short time, and there is no merit to replace it with other detergents to prevent clouding. (3) CO 2 in the air is excluded. The present invention is intended to prevent clouding by this, and by covering the surface of the bottle 1 with another gas, for example, nitrogen gas, vapor, or liquid, the precipitation of CaCO 3 due to the aforementioned chemical reaction is prevented. You can (4) Change the washing condition.

The white turbid reaction can be reduced by lowering the temperature or the concentration of NaOH, but this is not realistic because the original washing and sterilizing ability of the bottle washing machine is lowered. (Second Embodiment) FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment. In this embodiment, the caustic circulation pump 31 and the weak caustic circulation pump 32 evenly spray the liquid fed under pressure onto the bottle 1 by the water spray nozzle 33 to wet the surface of the bottle 1 in the air.

Calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) which is the main component of cloudiness is generated on the surface of the bottle 1 which has been left in the air for a long time after the caustic immersion. CaO + 2NaOH → Ca (OH) 2 + Na 2 O Ca (OH) 2 + CO 2 → CaCO 3 ↓ + H 2 O Here, CaO is one of the components of general glass used for bottles and the like, and NaOH is used in caustic tanks. Caustic itself, CO 2
Exists in the air. Note that Na 2 produced by the chemical reaction
O and Ca (OH) 2 can be rinsed into the container in the downstream rinse tank 8, but CaCO 3 is poorly water-soluble and cannot be easily rinsed. This remains as white turbidity and remains on the surface of the bottle 1, and is discharged from the bottle washing machine. In particular, this white turbidity often appears on the bottle surface near the gas-liquid interface.

As described above, in order for the surface of the bottle 1 to become cloudy, it is necessary to use three components: CaO as a glass component, NaOH as a caustic liquid, and CO 2 in the air. Conversely speaking, the occurrence of white turbidity can be prevented by excluding any of the three. (1) Excludes CaO as a glass component. There is no technical problem in producing glass that does not contain CaO as a component, and high-grade glass such as Pyrex is on the market, but it is not practical to use it for general beverage bottles because of the high cost. .. (2) Exclude NaOH.

There is no merits to replace other detergents to prevent clouding. (3) CO 2 in the air is excluded. The present invention is intended to prevent clouding by this, and by covering the surface of the bottle 1 with another gas, for example, nitrogen gas, vapor, or liquid, the precipitation of CaCO 3 due to the aforementioned chemical reaction is prevented.
