The next generation of bottle washers
Lavasonic with High Intensity (HI) module
CO2 footprint, costs for thermal energy and fresh water consumption are increasingly more relevant and cause rising costs. With new technology and innovative developments, the Lavasonic HI impresses with perfect cleaning results while using resources as economically as possible.

Highly-efficient cleaning
The key components
Controllable high-intensity cleaning
Highly-efficient cleaning:
- Cleaning time reduced by up to 40 %
- Thermal energy consumption reduced by up to 30 %
- Fresh water consumption reduced by up to 20 %
- Need-oriented jetting pressure
- Ultrasonic intensity can be adjusted as needed
- CO2 footprint reduced by up to 35 %
- Mechanical stress on containers reduced by up to 50 %
Clean Unit Control
Returned bottles are not all equally dirty. With constant machine performance, only the use of chemicals and temperature can be adjusted. With Lavasonic HI, the mechanical influence can also be controlled. This is the decisive advantage of adjusting the cleaning performance and reducing resource consumption.
Post-caustic surge system
Optional: Clean Design jetting system
Fresh water jetting is the final rinsing step before the bottle leaves the bottle washer. For even greater microbiological safety, fresh water jetting is optionally available in Clean Design.
New main caustic module
Ultrasonic effect
Ultrasound generates positive and negative pressure in the pre-soak tank. Negative pressure creates bubbles which collapse when positive pressure is applied, a process known as cavitation. This is how ultrasonic technology removes dirt and perforates paper labels. This increases the capillary forces, allowing the caustic to penetrate the paper label more quickly and thus remove it faster.
Bottle lock
The newly developed locking mechanism for returnable glass bottles enables more intensive cleaning in a shorter treatment time. Nevertheless, the bottles are subjected to less stress. The gentle treatment of the glass bottles in turn reduces the use of new glass and lowers the CO2 footprint.
This is why the Lavasonic HI series is enviro-classified
- Lower thermal energy consumption through the use of insulation, heat recovery, frequency-controlled pumps and grid or lightweight beams
- Economical fresh water consumption through optimised media flow, pressure regulation and energy concept
Benefits to you
Tailored to your needs
The ultrasonic modules in the pre-treatment system and the jetting pressure in the High Intensity module of caustic treatment system can be adjusted at any time. This enables the cleaning of a batch of empties to be tailored to needs without using excessive resources.
Consumption of resources
The new technology makes the goal of reducing resource consumption a reality. Reduce your heat demand by up to 30 % for one of the most energy-intensive machines in the filling line. In addition, you can reduce your fresh water consumption by up to 20 %, as well as your use of chemicals and feed of bulk glass. Furthermore, your CO2 footprint will be reduced by up to 35 %.
Digitally up to date
The latest technology used on the touch-screen and in the PLC ideally equips our machines for the new age of digitalization. For this purpose, we offer a wide portfolio of digital products for the line and machine, as well as individual setting options directly on the touch-screen.
Operation made easy
All double-end bottle washers offer easy access to important components so that cleaning and maintenance can be performed as quickly as possible.
