Abstract: This machine for washing containers of all open types is adapted to be enclosed in a compartment and comprises a tray to which the container is detachably secured; the tray is pivoted to a frame trunnioned in turn to fixed bracket bearings; a rotary brush connected to a supply of cleaning liquid is adapted, when the container is tilted to a position in which its bottom facing the rotary brush tip is somewhat higher than its opening and the tray is rotatably driven by a peripheral roller, to engage the bottom and inner side faces of the container. The brush and cleaning liquid supply means are responsive to cylinder means so arranged that the machine can accomodate a wide range of container sizes and shapes.
