  • Patent number: 10604354
    Abstract: A moving item may be treated using a treatment member. Data may be obtained that includes a width of the moving item, a maximum speed of movement for a treatment member across the moving item to provide a required level of treatment, a speed of movement of the moving item, and a length of the moving item. An extent of movement of the treatment member across the moving item in each reciprocal movement of the treatment member and a speed of reciprocal movement of the treatment member across the moving item may be calculated based at least on the data to provide a required level of treatment across the moving item. The treatment member is reciprocally moved in a required pattern across the moving item based at least on the calculated extent of movement and the calculated speed of movement to provide a full treatment coverage of the moving item.

  • Patent number: 10150623
    Abstract: A cleaning apparatus includes a connection part rotatably mounted to a rotatable member. The connection part is in the form of a disc 36 of plastics material, with a central cavity with four radial passages extending therefrom leading to nozzles for steam to pass therethrough for cleaning purposes. In use the disc is rotated at a required speed to, for instance, clean a conveyor.
