The working duration of a bottle washer depends on various factors, such as the design, type of machine, and the specific process being used. Here are key factors that influence the duration:

Type of Bottle Washer:
Manual Bottle Washers: The working duration is determined by the operator’s speed and proficiency. It may take several minutes per batch of bottles.
Semi-Automatic Bottle Washers: These machines can be faster than manual washers, taking around 3-10 minutes depending on the capacity.
Fully Automatic Bottle Washers: These high-capacity machines are often part of industrial bottling lines, and can wash hundreds or even thousands of bottles per hour. The working duration can be as short as a few seconds per bottle, depending on the speed and configuration of the system.

Washing Cycle:
The washing cycle often involves several stages, such as pre-rinse, detergent wash, and final rinse. The length of each stage will affect the total time.
For fully automatic washers, the full washing cycle can last anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes, depending on how thorough the cleaning process needs to be.

Bottle Size and Material:
Larger bottles may take longer to clean, especially if the machine is set to handle different bottle sizes.
Glass bottles typically require more careful handling and cleaning compared to plastic bottles, potentially increasing the time required.

The capacity of the Machine:
Some machines are designed to handle many bottles simultaneously, which means the duration per bottle may be reduced as the machine cleans multiple bottles at once.
In an industrial setting, the washing process is often synchronized with other production steps, so the machine operates continuously to keep up with the bottling speed.
