Cleaning machines 
FAU series
The FAU series comprises compact cleaning machines which can be used for intensive and thorough wet cleaning of glass and plastic containers. This series has a broad range of applications extending from vials, bottles and ampoules to similar types of container, including non-stable containers. The containers are conveyed through the work area very gently in a continuous motion. The various cleaning media can be used in any chosen order, and the line system is configured in such a way that media do not mix.

The ECOwash system by Bausch + Ströbel ensures optimal cleaning of all containers while significantly reducing the consumption of cleaning media. This is achieved by using a combination of special cleaning needles which are developed and/or adapted in comprehensive trials to meet your specific requirements. The ECOwash (Efficient Customized Operation) technology has the following advantages:
- Optimized cleaning in hard-to-reach areas
- Reduction in water consumption: up to 40%
- Reduction in residual moisture content: up to 70%
- Reduction in air consumption: up to 20%
- Reduction in noise when blow-drying containers: up to 50%
- High energy efficiency
