ABSTRACT:
An automatic bottle scrubber for use with automatic bottle washing machines utilizes vertical powered brushes which rotate as the bottles go by on a conveyor system to scrub the bottles in a wet environment to remove dirt. The bottles are allowed to rotate during the scrubbing process so that all of the exterior of the bottle will be scrubbed. The brushes used are preferably helically disposed on a drive rod and rotated in such a manner as to cause the bottle to lift up out of its conveyor receptacle. Thus, while rotating, abrasion to the bottle and to the conveyor receptacle is minimized due to reduced contact between the conveyor receptacle and the bottle. A guide or bar disposed over the scrubber station keeps the bottles from coming completely out of the conveyor receptacle.
