Arcade GEL
The bottle cleaning machines of the ARCADE GEL series are part of a complete type family and have been designed for the medium performance range from 12,000 to 42,000 bph.They are of compact design and combine equipment and convenience of our high-performance machines with low space requirements. The optimal dimensioning and high proportion of stainless steel ensure high serviceability in the long term. Renowned institutes have confirmed the favourable cost effectiveness due to the economic use of water, low heat consumption and low lye carry-over proportion.
Thus, also this series copes with the high demands of the beverage industry, from the economical as well as from the ecological point of view.
Standard equipment
