An apparatus and associated methods are disclosed for washing a plurality of beverage containers. The apparatus may include an enclosure, a holder positioned in the enclosure, a receptacle for a beverage container in the holder, and an injector coupled to the enclosure. The holder may rotate in the enclosure about an axis of rotation. As the holder rotates, the receptacle may move (e.g., rotate) through a plurality of positions about the axis of rotation. The receptacle may be positioned to receive a beverage container in a first position about the axis of rotation. When rotated to a second position about the axis of rotation, the receptacle may be aligned with the injector and the injector may provide a fluid inside the beverage container in the receptacle. The receptacle may be positioned to drain the fluid from the beverage container in the receptacle in the second position or after being rotated to a third position.

Container feeding and cleaning apparatus

An apparatus for coupling one or more can carriers to a plurality of cans is disclosed herein. The apparatus may include rails for guiding the cans as the cans move through the apparatus. Push members may be moved into the space between the rails to push the cans through the apparatus towards a member and at least one roller. The member (e.g., a hopper) may position a can carrier above the cans. The at least one roller may be positioned to provide a downward force on the can carrier to attach the can carrier to the top of the cans as the cans are moved past the at least one roller by the push members.
