Abstract of the Disclosure Bottle filling machines are known in which bottles travel in a circular path and, while doing so, are filled with liquid under pressure, e.g. beer, by individually associated filler mechanisms. If, because of the pressure, a bottle explodes, glass fragments can adhere to the associated filler mechanism and it is important that these be removed, to keep glass from entering the next bottle coming in. Resort has been made to using water sprays but heretofore such means have been relatively ineffective and, in some cases, very messy in operation. The present invention provides apparatus which can thoroughly clean a filler mechanism in the event of an exploding bottle. A broken bottle sensor is located between the infeed mechanism and outfeed mechanism on the bottle filling machine. In the event of a broken bottle, the sensor provides a pulse to activate, for a predetermined period of time, a water spray assembly comprising a plurality of high pressure spray nozzles spaced apart along a portion of the path between the sensor and the outfeed mechanism. The pulse also feeds logic means to record a data bit for each filler tube mechanism associated with a broken bottle, to track the location of the filler tube mechanisms as they move along the path, and to re-activate the spray assembly again for the predetermined period of time when an affected filler tube mechanism again reaches the broken bottle sensor.
