Sign

: "
'The
Super
Kleen
'
Bottle
Washer
built
for
Coca
Cola
Bottling
Co
.
Cincinnati
,
Ohio
. by The
Liquid
Carbonic
Corporation.
" "The
Super
Kleen
"
bottle
washer
was
put
out
by
Loew
Manufacturing
Company
, of
Cleveland
,
Ohio
, and was an
improvement
and
merging
of
two
previous
types
of
washers
(dormant
and
pressure)
.
Mr
.
Charles
Leow
gives
the
following
excellent
description
of this
machine
. The
operation
of the "
Superkleen
"
is
as
follows
: The
operator
at the
feed
end
of the "
Superkleen
"
takes
the
bottles
out
of the
delivery
cases
,
which
are
supplied
to him on a
rolling
gravity
conveyor
, and
places
them onto a
feeding
table
. This
table
moves
intermittently
upward
and the
row
of
bottles
slided
out
into the
steel
pockets
. They are then
carried
up
into the
machine
and as they
enter
it
each
bottles
receives
a
washing
inside
and
outside
with
reclaimed
warm
water
. This
reclaimed
water
has then
performed
its
function
and
is
run
into
sewer
. They then
pass
through
and are
treated
with
several
solutions
of
various
degrees
of
strength
and
temperature
. This
travel
requires
twenty
minutes
, in
which
time
all
the
dirt
,
grease
,
etc.
,
is
thoroughly
dissolved
and
soaked
up
, to be then
easily
removed
by the
water
brush
of the "
Superkleen
" This
water
brush
consists
of
five
rows
of
spindles
which
travel
up
into the
bottles
and
which
partially
lift
them
out
of the
steel
pockets
.
When
the
spindles
are
traveling
up
through
the
bottles
and
down
again
, they
receive
a
fan-like
treatment
under
high
pressure
from the
reclaimed
water
supplied
by
rinsing
spindles
. This
pressure
fan-like
water
treatment
acts
like
a
brush
,
inasmuch
as
it
sweeps
the
entire
bottle
ten
times
from the
lip
of the
bottle
to the
bottom
,
thus
removing
any
remnant
of
dirt
or
impurity
which
has
already
been
throughly
loosened
by the
former
intensive
solution
treatments
.
After
the
bottles
have
passed
through
these
ten
water
brush
treatments
they
receive
three
fresh
water
injections
from
three
rows
of
spindles
. These
spindles
also
lift
the
bottle
partially
out
of the
steel
pockets
and
back
into
same
so
that in
actual
operation
each
bottle
receives
six
of these
fresh
water
treatments
-
three
up
and
three
down
.
When
the
water
brush
and
rinsing
spindles
thus
left
the
bottles
out
of the
pocket
, they by
means
of a
rounded
tip
on the
spindles
begin
automatically
to
revolve
,
so
that the
water
brush
acts
on the
entire
surface
of the
interior
of the
bottle
sweeping
any
impurities
still
clinging
to the
walls
thereof
resistlessly
before
it
down
and
out
of the
mouth
of the
bottles
. The
bottles
then
travel
through
the
automatic
sterilzing
compartment
. In this
compartment
each
bottle
receives
an
injection
of
distilled
water
,
making
the
bottles
absolutely
sterile
when
they are
delivered
on the
conveyor
to the
filling
machine
. The
distilled
water
is
furnished
by the
steam
which
heats
up
the
bottles
and
which
runs
through
a
cooling
coil
,
which
is
kept
cold
by the
rinsing
or
reclaimed
water
.
After
all
these
intensive
treatments
, the
bottles
,
no
matter
how
dirty
they have
entered
the "
Superkleen
" are
delivered
absolutely
clean
,
sterile
and
sparkling
, at the
temperature
of the
cooling
city
water
which
is
used
on the
outside
for the
cooling
of the
bottles
.
Through
their
entire
travel
from the
end
of the
solution
compartment
to the
discharge
, the
bottles
are
cooled
with
water
of
progressively
decreasing
temperatures
in
such
a
manner
that there
can
be
no
breakage
.
All
the
water
used
by the
city
water
rinsing
spindles
, as
well
as that for the
outside
cooling
,
is
re-used
in the
water
brush
, and for the
preliminary
washing
of the
bottles
before
they
enter
the
soaking
compartments
proper
. In this
manner
not
only
all
the
water
is
used
several
times
over
, but the
steam
as
well
,
which
carries
out
the
regenerative
system
of
pre-heating
and
cooling
to the
highest
degree
of
efficiency
. This
machine
is
most
substantially
built
,
is
sturdy
,
neat
and
attractive
in
appearance
. The "
Superkleen
"
is
built
in
sizes
ranging
from
24
to
180
bottles
per
minute
and
is
guaranteed
for a
term
of
five
years
.
Coca-Cola
was
concerned
that
straight
sided
bottles
would be
confused
with
imitators
so
they and
bottlers
asked
glass
manufacturers
to
create
a
design
for a
distinctive
bottle
. The
Root
Glass
Company
of
Terra
Haute
,
Indiana
won
the
approval
and the
bottle
was
introduced
in
1916
. The
contour
bottle
became
one
of the
few
packages
ever
granted
trademark
status
by the US
Patent
