Abstract (en)

A container rinsing system has a nozzle (1300) adapted to be positioned proximate an opening of the container (C) and adapted to direct a supply of air in any orientation to the container (C). A vacuum member (14) is positioned around the air nozzle (1300) and adapted to vacuum foreign particles away from the container (C). A system comprises an air source and a manifold (1303) having a manifold inlet, an ionization unit (1301), and a plurality of manifold outlets along with a plurality of air nozzles (1300). Each nozzle (1300) has a nozzle inlet, a nozzle outlet, and a nozzle passageway extending between the nozzle inlet and the nozzle outlet. The ionization unit (1301) is placed within the manifold (1303), and the plurality of nozzles (1300) are located on the plurality of manifold outlets such that during operation air is ionized before entering the nozzles (1300). The ionized air is used to clean containers (C).
