4. Specific constraints for washing PI drums
Before describing the packaging process for drums with built-in plungers, we need to examine the constraints involved.
The time it takes to pass through the washing stations is short (4 or 5 min) compared to the time it takes to process a bottle (which is close to half an hour). Yet the surface to be cleaned is 200 times larger than that of a 25 cl bottle, for example.
