Soda-water and Bottling Machines

1790. BARNETT, SAMSON, 23, Forston Street, Hoxton. N.

Soda-water machinery.

There are 3 sizes of the direct and beam action machines; their producing powers, and prices are:—

To make 200 dozen bottles per day: £75
Ditto 160 ditto ditto : £70
Ditto 140 ditto ditto : £65

There are 2 sizes of the band-action machines:

To make 120 dozen bottles per day: £55
Ditto 100 ditto ditto: £50

1862 Sodaherstellung

Many of these have been in constant use for 25 years, without requiring any repairs.

DOUBLE-ACTION MACHINES, for making lemonade and soda water at the same time, or for making either separately:-

To make 400 dozen bottles per day: £150
Ditto 320 ditto: £130
Ditto 280 ditto: £120

A patent bottling apparatus is a very valuable addition to all the above machines, as it can be either used or not at pleasure, the usual nipple for the knee- bottling being on every machine. The advantage of the bottling machine is, that a person totally unacquainted with making aerated beverages, can, by this addition, immediately bottle it, as highly charged with gas as they please. Smaller machines are made for hotels and refreshment rooms, of the power of 60 dozen per day, £40; 40 dozen per day, £35; 30 dozen per day, £30. These machines are valuable, where the consumption is small, as the cost of the carriage is often more than making the article itself, besides the advantage of having it always at hand, and always fresh. The improved bottling apparatus can be had separately.

The exhibitor, having had thirty years' experience in the manufacture of mineral-water machinery, and confining his attention to that and diving apparatus, every part has been the object of careful study; and the requirements of those who use machinery where mechanical assistance cannot be obtained, have received due consideration.

The greatest purity is obtained when the condenser is lined with silver, and the plunger made of glass. The average cost of these additions is about £12, according to size.

Bottles, corks, wire, and all ingredients supplied.

Corks are usually packed in the same case, thus saving freight.

These improved soda-water machines are warranted superior to any hitherto manufactured, in solidity of construction, power, and simplicity. They are also admirably calculated for exportation, as they are packed in one case, without taking them to pieces, and can be set to work, and soda-water or lemonade made from them in half-an-hour after arrival. These machines are also used to manufacture ginger beer, orangeade, nectar, seidlitz, carrara, etc.

An illustrated pamphlet sent with each machine, containing full directions for use, and recipes for making soda water and all aerated beverages. Quelle: www.gracesguide.co.uk
