We're a small brewery w/ a 2 head filler and rinsing/prepping bottles has pretty much been the bane of our existence. I've looked into commercially available manual rinsers, but on top of being out of our budget, they all seems somewhat lacking in design so naturally we've undertaken building our own.
The plan is basically to use a sink (or sinks) w/ a manifold and FastRacks as I've seen many people on here do; however, where I'm stuck is on how to properly design the rinsing tubes/nozzles/whatever. I've tried 1/4" ID rigid acetel tubing which works "ok", but I'm wondering if actual spray nozzles might be better. With that said, I underestimated how many variables can go into a properly designed spray nozzle. Would a basic stream work or would a cone be better (if so, what degree)? What flow-rate is optimal? Etc...
Either way figured I'd post as surely some of yall have better (simpler) ideas I'm just overlooking!
