The Affecting Factors of Reject Bottles in Bottle Washing Machine

Technological developments and business today are in a very fierce competition, many companies are trying to become the fronliner of the market leaders of their products, therefore many companies are trying to find innovation and diversification to be different from the others. The quality parameter is one of the most important things for the development of the company's business, without maintaining quality it is impossible for the business to develop, and to run smoothly and generate optimum profit. This study aims to determine and analyze the effect of dirty bottle conditions, caustic concentration, contact time and temperature on reject bottles in bottle washing machines in relation to increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of production machines in a beverage company. This type of research is a causal associative explanation to determine the cause and effect relationship of several parameters and this study uses the measurement from several different parameters. This study uses SPSS version 23 software application to describe, analyze correlation and multiple regression of the effect of reject bottles. Based on the research results, it was found that a significant influence between the independent variables (bottle condition, caustic concentration, contact time and temperature) had an effect on the percentage of reject bottles, but of the four parameters the most significant parameter for reject bottles was the bottle condition factor. It is necessary to sort the condition of the bottles, the caustic concentration must be maintained, the caustic solution is deposited to remove impurities so as to improve its performance, longer contact times and high temperatures can increase the cleaning process so as to reduce bottle rejects.

Availability analysis of distillery plant using petri nets

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to prepare a methodology to evaluate availability analysis of distillery plant using Petri nets (PN). The effect of various failures, repair rate and availability of repair facilities on the system has been studied.Design/methodology/approachThe PN model of a system is developed to study the dynamic behavior of the system under various working conditions. Availability analysis of the plant is presented taking into consideration of failure and repair rates of their subsystems and has been carried out using Monte Carlo simulation.FindingsThe bottle washing machine is the most critical machine from a maintenance point of view which has more compact on the system performance as compared to other machines. The availability analysis of distillery plant helps the management to adopt a suitable maintenance policy to improve upon plant production and plant availability.Originality/valueThe application of this proposed PN-based approach is very useful in finding the most critical subsystem and its effect on the performance of the system in terms of availability and plant production. Further, the advantage of the PN approach is that dynamic behavior of the system under consideration is modeled with graphic representation of the system and given distribution can be associated with the subsystems for analysis. The superiority of this approach over others, such as network, fault tree and Markov analysis, is outlined in the paper.

A Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC) System for the Pneumatic Valve of the Bottle Washer in Beverages Using Simulink

One of the most important processes in beverage manufacturing companies is the bottle washing process. When the bottles are returned from the customers they are first cleaned in the bottle washer before they can be reused. The pneumatic valve of the bottle washing machine which controls the discharge of clean bottles sometimes sticks or fails which results in significant loss of production in the plant since all the other processes which follow depend on the bottle washing machine. The main causes of failure are temperatures and pressure outside the required ranges, and also minor contributions by moisture and abrasive particles. These parameters were controlled by designing a Fuzzy Logic Controller using MATLAB and it was found that pressure and temperature should be maintained between 0.5 - 2.99 bars and 50 - 85˚C, respectively, with moisture levels at 2.5% and dust levels at 0.5%. This is an artificial intelligent (AI) technique whereby the system will be able to plan, sense, reason, act and learn in a human intelligent way. Two solutions were developed to control the operation of the valve in cases of disturbances and non-linearity, namely; the Model Reference Adaptive Fuzzy Controller (MRAFC) and MRAC with PID controllers. Simulations were carried out and the MRAFC design showed excellent tracking results as compared to MRAC PID controller.

Adjustment of the wastewater matrix for optimization of membrane systems applied for water reuse in breweries

The objective of this study was to optimize membrane systems applied for wastewater reuse in breweries in consideration of economic efficiency and safety of operation by defining and adjusting the wastewater matrix. With the help of extensive quantitative and qualitative analyses of relevant process water flows from several breweries with similar product ranges and different wastewater treatment concepts, the following process water flows were identified as critical regarding membrane filtration: polyvinylpolypyrrolidone regeneration lye, cleaning and rinsing lyes from cleaning in place systems as well as effluents from the bottle washing machine and conveyor belts. Their negative effects on the filtration performance of low pressure membranes were shown in laboratory-scale tests. In addition, treatment concepts of recycling the alkaline process water flows (polyvinylpolypyrrolidone regeneration lye, cleaning in places lyes) were developed and investigated with regard to technical, ecological and economic aspects. As secondary objectives, the reduction of inert organic substances, the recovery of valuables (polyphenols, sodium hydroxide solution) and the substitution of critical substances (lubricants for conveyor belts) were pursued.

Frequency-specific cochlear damage in guinea pig after exposure to different types of realistic industrial noise

For the causal evaluation of occupational hearing damage it is important to identify definitely the noise source. Here we tested, whether recordings of distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) in awake guinea pigs can distinguish the effects of different industrial noises. Six groups of 12 animals each were investigated before and over four months after a single 2 h exposure to specific, played-back industrial noise as well as before and for 2 months after impulse noise exposure. We compared broadband noise (buzz saw, bottle washing machine), low frequency noise (drawing press), and mid-frequency noise (bottle filling machine). All animals had stable DPOAE levels before noise exposure. Frequency specific decreases in DPOAEs were found after exposure to the different noises. Broadband noise diminished mostly all frequencies tested, whereas low- or mid-frequency noise had a greater effect on DPOAE evoked by middle and higher frequencies, respectively. DPOAE evoked by middle and higher frequencies were obliterated after impulse noise. Morphological analysis of the cochleae confirmed these alterations. OHC loss was found in the middle turns of the cochleae corresponding to the diminution of DPOAE. We conclude that different kinds of industrial noise tend to produce typical changes in DPOAE levels.

Characteristics and application of new ceramic nanofiltration membranes

In this study, the characteristic and filtration behaviour of a newly developed ceramic nanofiltration membrane was studied and compared to other commercial ceramic nanofiltration membranes currently available. It could be shown that it was possible to produce a ceramic membrane with separation properties in the nanofiltration range and with permeability rates clearly superior to that of polymer nanofiltration membranes. The ceramic membrane was used in tests involving the treatment of textile wastewater, alkaline solutions from bottle washing machines and pickling bath solutions.

Treatment of Rinsing Water from Bottle Washing Machines by Membrane Filtration with the Objective of Reuse

This paper presents the processes tested for the pretreatment of rinsing water from bottle washing machines, the objective of which is to retain suspended and colloidal organic and inorganic matter in order to prevent membrane scaling and fouling in the downstream reverse osmosis stage. Microfiltration and ultrafiltration as well as two‐layer anthracite/sand filtration proved to be suitable pretreatment processes. The selection of membranes suitable for producing drinking water from rinsing water and the results from the operation of a demonstration plant in a brewery are also dealt with.

Modeling of Impurity Concentrations in the Cleaning Zones of Bottle Washing Machines in the Treatment of Alkaline Cleaning Solutions and Rinsing Water

The purpose of this study is to highlight the saving potential resulting from the treatment of alkaline cleaning solutions and rinsing water from bottle washing machines. By means of a simulation program, the concentration of impurities in alkaline solutions and in the rinsing water of bottle washing machines in the beverage industry can be calculated while taking fluid treatment by membrane separation processes into account. Thus, this model provides a tool for designing processes to treat alkaline cleaning solutions and rinsing water as well as for determining the saving potential of treatment technologies.

Reduction of water consumption and wastewater quantities in the food industry by water recycling using membrane processes

Due to the rising costs for fresh and wastewater, the treatment and reuse of low-contaminated process water streams from food processing companies is increasingly gaining in importance. In this study it was shown that water for reuse could be produced from this water by a specific treatment using membrane processes while achieving reduction of water consumption and wastewater quantities. Three examples of low-contaminated wastewater will be discussed: firstly a vapour condensate from milk processing, secondly chiller shower water from the meat processing industry and thirdly wash water from bottle washing machines. Due to the promising laboratory and pilot-scale experimental results, a demonstration plant with a capacity of 1–2m 3/h, consisting of the following stages, was set up: pretreatment; main treatment — 1st nanofiltration stage; post-treatment — 2nd nanofiltration or low-pressure reverse osmosis stage and UV water disinfection. Economical water treatment was possible in all three examples. The treated low-contaminated process water from chiller showers or bottle washing machines was of drinking quality and therefore suitable for reuse. After treatment, the vapour condensate could be reused as boiler make-up water which is subject to higher standards than drinking water. The experimental technology underwent an authorization procedure at the Saarland Ministry for Health, Germany, and was granted approval.

THE ASSESSMENT OF THE BACTERIOLOGICAL CONDITION OF MILK BOTTLES

SUMMARY: A study of the relative values of a number of bacteriological tests for assessing the condition of milk bottles indicated that the colony count of the bottle rinse solution on yeastrel milk agar incubated for 4 days at 30°, combined with a clot‐on‐boiling test applied to 1 ml. of rinse in 9 ml. of sterile milk after incubation for 72 hr. at 19–20°, gave the most useful results.The mean of the ratios of colony counts at 30° to those at 37° was 15·1, while it was as high as 22·9 for rinses with 37° of over 600 for an unsatisfactory bottle should be retained when the test is done at 30°. The thermoduric colony count of rinses of milk bottles, even when laboratory pasteurized in milk, did not provide any additional information to that given by the colony count at 30° made without pasteurization. A high proportion of the organisms in bottle rinses survived laboratory pasteurization in milk, the survival rate being highest in efficiently treated bottles.The clot‐on‐boiling test gave results in general agreement with colony counts and served to indicate the potential influence of badly contaminated bottles on the keeping quality of milk placed in them. A substantial proportion of rinses with satisfactory colony counts reduced methylene blue within 48 hr. at 19–20°.Colony counts at 37° were on the average much lower for bottles treated with steam than for bottles submitted to detergent treatment in various types of bottle washing machines. Treatment of bottles by steam or hypochlorite was more efficiently done on the farms than at the dairies.
