Abstract (en)

In a machine (1) for washing containers (2), a conveyor device (4) advances a plurality of containers (2) along a washing path (P) through an inlet station, an outlet station (O) and a cleaning zone (C1, C2) arranged downstream of the inlet station and upstream of the outlet station; at this cleaning zone, the containers (2) are dipped into a bath of washing liquid; the washing liquid is heated inside the bath, by at least one heating conduit (201) channelling steam, and is delivered from the bath along a circulation line (150); condensate is separated from the steam in the heating conduit (201) so as to form a discharged fluid having heat that is transferred to the washing liquid in the circulation line (150).
