Overview The bottle washer was manufactured in 1998 by the German
company Krones. It is located at a German mineral fountain and is part
of a line that has been shut down because the operator will be
bottling in glass in the future and no longer in PET. The bottle
washer is still assembled. Technical data Capacity: 44,000 bph
