Final suitability depends on bottle samples, container dimensions, contamination level, target output, utilities and line layout.

Detergent bottle challenges

Detergent bottles can be shaped, lightweight and residue-prone. The selected washing route should handle bottle presentation, residue type and dryness requirements before the next process.

New versus rework bottles

Clean new bottles may need only a preparation rinse, while rework bottles may need a wash stage designed around product residue.
