Bottle Washers, Rinsers & Dryers
High-velocity air blowers and liquid rinsers designed to eliminate dust, debris, and condensation from bottles before filling or labeling, ensuring pristine container hygiene.
Industrial Auxiliary Systems
Production Line Support Systems for Complete Packaging Operations
Packaging support equipment plays a critical role in high-speed, automated production environments. While primary machinery such as liquid fillers, cappers, and labelers execute main operational functions, auxiliary support machinery guarantees production stability, container cleanliness, product integrity, and regulatory compliance.
Engineered and manufactured in California, USA since 1988, Accutek support equipment seamlessly integrates into automated bottling and packaging lines across international markets—helping plant managers maximize overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and eliminate unscheduled downtime.
- Decontaminate containers via ionizing air washing and vacuum suction prior to filling.
- Ensure pharmaceutical humidity protection with automated desiccant and cotton inserters.
- Guarantee 100% QA/QC accuracy with automated vision inspection and rejection stations.
- Enable global supply chain traceability with precise laser, inkjet, and thermal transfer coding.
Industrial Solutions
Featured Packaging Support Equipment
Explore our robust lineup of heavy-duty support machinery designed for continuous operation in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and chemical production facilities.
Automatic Desiccant Inserter
Engineered for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical solid-dose bottling lines. Accurately cuts and dispenses sachet or canister desiccants at high speeds into bottles.
Automated Cotton Inserter
Features precision stepper-motor control to pull, cut, and insert cotton coil strips into pill bottles, preventing tablet breakage during overseas shipment.
Case Packers & Erectors
End-of-line secondary automation systems that automatically fold, form, pack, and tape corrugated shipping cases for seamless container logistics.
Cap Elevator Loaders
Bulk cap feeding hoppers and cleated belt elevators designed to continuously supply closures to spindle and chuck capping machines, minimizing operator intervention.
Inspection & Rejection Stations
Integrated vision cameras, cap height sensors, and pneumatic pusher pins that automatically identify and divert non-compliant containers without stopping line flow.
Engineering Specifications
Breakdown by Support Equipment Category
Selecting the ideal auxiliary machinery depends on container geometry, line speed, sanitary requirements, and international compliance mandates.
1. Container Cleaning, Washing & Air Rinsers
Before liquid or solid filling operations occur, bottles must be sanitized. Accutek container rinsers utilize filtered compressed air combined with static elimination nozzles to loosen particulates inside glass or plastic bottles. Simultaneously, a vacuum extraction manifold captures foreign material to uphold strict food safety (HACCP) and pharmaceutical standards.
2. Marking, Coding & Traceability Printers
Export regulations require legible expiration dates, batch numbers, and 2D matrix codes. Accutek integrates Continuous Inkjet (CIJ), Thermal Inkjet (TIJ), and CO2 Laser marking stations directly into conveyor lines for non-contact coding on glass, HDPE, PET, and aluminum containers.
3. Post-Filling Cooling Tunnels
For hot-fill food and beverage processes (such as sauces, juices, and syrups), thermal shock or moisture condensation can ruin pressure-sensitive labeling. Industrial cooling tunnels use recirculated water spray banks to lower product core temperatures rapidly, ensuring ideal conditions for downstream labeling and shrink wrapping.
4. Digital Torque Testers & Quality Control Tools
AccuTorque digital testers evaluate cap application and removal torque (0-100 in-lbs) with digital precision. Essential for QA/QC laboratories to ensure bottle seals prevent leaks during global maritime shipping while maintaining consumer accessibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Support Equipment Knowledge Base
Expert answers for overseas buyers, plant managers, and procurement specialists.
Why is dedicated support equipment required in automated packaging lines?
Primary packaging machinery (fillers, cappers) focuses exclusively on container processing. Support machinery automates pre-treatment, quality verification, and post-treatment—reducing labor overhead, preventing container damage, ensuring clean-room compliance, and minimizing product liability risks.
Can Accutek machinery accommodate international power supply configurations?
Yes. All Accutek support equipment can be customized at our factory with global transformer options including 200V, 220V, 380V, 415V, or 480V in 50Hz or 60Hz single-phase or three-phase configurations to suit your facility's local power grid.
How does Accutek ensure fast lead times and spare parts delivery overseas?
We maintain an extensive inventory of standardized OEM replacement components at our California manufacturing plant and regional hubs. Technical support, field installation guides, and express global door-to-door spare parts dispatch ensure minimal downtime.
