Abstract: An anti entrapment fail safe drain having a drain cover for partially covering an influent opening; a pressurized supply line; and a nozzle assembly in communication with the pressurized supply line and mounted within a drain sump. The nozzle assembly is for directing a pressurized liquid in a pattern over a surface of the drain cover when the drain cover and the nozzle are immersed in the liquid such that a portion of the liquid above the pattern or objects suspended in standing liquid can not be pulled directly toward the drain cover through a drain inlet opening. The drain also has an effluent opening for connecting to the drain sump arranged such that the liquid flows into a pipe in a first direction. The pressurized supply line is arranged inside the pipe for returning the liquid to the nozzle assembly in a second direction opposite the first direction.

Abstract: Process and system for removing printing in metallic packages used in drinks, food and other applications in general, comprising the removal of ink before the cure thereof, by means of spray with ink remover liquid and non abrasive friction. Preferably, said liquid is an alkaline aqueous solution, which is sprayed onto the package surface simultaneously with the friction thereof with a soft and non abrasive element. In a preferred embodiment, said friction results in the rotation of the package around the longitudinal axis thereof, which is mounted on a rotative support, and the soft non abrasive element in contact with the surface thereof keeps motionless.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for removing an area of a layer of a component consisting of metal or a metal compound. According to prior art, corrosion products of a component are removed in a first step by applying a molten mass or by heating in a voluminous powder bed. This requires high temperatures or a large amount of space. The inventive method for removing corrosion products of a component is characterized in that a cleaning agent is applied locally, which removes the corrosion products by means of a gaseous reaction product.

Abstract: A dirty swimming pool filter is journaled for rotation about a vertical array of nozzles and spun about a vertical axis by the action of the spray. The rotation can be fast enough that centrifugal forces aid in the cleaning operation by sloughing dirt off the outside of the filter. One version of the apparatus includes a second vertical array of nozzles external to the filter and directing a spray against the outer face of the filter, which aids in sloughing dirt off it. This second array is rotatable about its own vertical axis and can be used to control the rate of rotation of the filter being cleaned. A sealed bearing is provided at the base of the filter to allow free rotation about the first vertical array of nozzles.

Abstract: Means is disclosed for washing the inside of a pelletizing machine containing a bag filter which is capable of being raised and lowered within the body of the machine. A vertically movable, upright means to spray washing liquid in three dimensions is provided above the bag filter. A horizontally movable spraying means is provided below the bag filter. This horizontal spraying means can be retracted from inside the pelletizing machine during pelletizing operations, but is capable of spraying washing liquid upwardly into the open end of the bag filter during washing operations.

Abstract: Apparatus for washing the disc portions of an electrical insulator includes first and second mating housing portions for positioning about the discs and fluid lines for delivering a cleansing fluid through the housing portions for cleaning the surface of the discs. The two mating housing portions preferably define a basin for collecting the cleansing fluid and facilitating removal of the cleansing fluid after use. A support assembly including a robotic arm positions the first and second mating housing portions about the discs of the electrical insulator for cleaning. A cleaning liquid such as water or freon or a cleaning gas such as air or steam is applied through the mating housing portions for cleaning the surface of the discs. Following the cleaning, a surface-enhancing material such as a silicone coating can be applied to the surface of the insulator for protection from future contamination and make the insulator more resistant to electrical or mechanical degradation.

Abstract: A cleaning process is provided for window blinds of the type comprising vertical strips of fabric which are supported at an upper end so as to lie in parallel planes which are rotatable. The process includes a carrying frame for attachment to the lower end of the strips by which the strips are maintained in their proper parallel condition during detachment, washing, rinsing, drying and reattachment. After detachment the strips are immersed in a bath of cleaning liquid which flows longitudinally of the strips from the carrying frame to trailing end of the strips. Rinsing is carried in a similar bath. Drying is carried out by passing the strips between parallel runs of an absorbent fabric.

Abstract: A small washer and sterilizer for glasses has a counterweighted door with a watertight seal without gaskets, a novel overhead spray unit particularly adapted for under bar installation and an improved drainage system.

Abstract: An arrangement for cleaning containers includes a spraying nozzle which is constructed as a pressure sprayer, and at least two jet tubes which are arranged at opposite sides of the spraying nozzle, extending substantially parallel to the axis of the latter. The spraying nozzle and the jet tubes are mounted on a common distributor body which, in turn is mounted on a base plate. The distributor body has a tubular configuration and carries at its end remote from the base plate a seat for a valve ball. The distributor body further includes an arrangement for conducting the cleaning water back along itself to the upstream ends of the jet tubes. As a result of this construction, the arrangement has a relatively low height, and yet it is suited for use in cleaning drinking containers of various shapes, such as tumblers and stemware. The valve ball is operated by a valve tappet or operating member which is guided in a tubular guiding wall extending upwardly beyond the distributor member.

The installation includes a housing with a door through which the squeegee device can be introduced and mounted in a tiltable supporting element. After the closing of the door the squeegee device is internally and externally flushed and rinsed by means of a number of stationary and traveling spraying nozzles through which a cleaning liquid is sprayed upon the squeegee device.

Abstract: A mobile station for the distribution of beverages is mounted on a truck and comprises two reservoirs for beverages and a reservoir for sterilized water. Automatic distributors are fed by the beverage reservoir; while the water reservoir feeds apparatus for washing and sterilizing the cups. A drawer stores the cups in stacked relation. Troughs beneath the automatic distributors and below the apparatus for washing and sterilizing cups, catch the liquids that would otherwise fall to the ground and return them to a recovery vessel from which the liquids may be drained. Vertically swinging canopies protect the equipment in transit and, when swung up, serve as awnings for the users.

Abstract: A container washing system comprises a container washing zone, a rinsing zone and a deionized rinsing zone through which containers are conveyed. At each of the zones, spray nozzles direct washing and rinsing liquids at the containers. In order to prevent the etching of stationary containers when the conveyor is interrupted, the spray nozzles in the washing and deionized rinsing zones are deactivated. In order to prevent the oxidation or rusting of the stationary containers in the absence of the washing and deionized rinsing liquids, the containers are maintained in the moist condition by fogging nozzles located within the washing and deionized rinsing zones.
