  • Patent number: 6003194
    Abstract: A three chambered hose cleaning and drying head which attaches to the back of a cleaning vehicle. The cleaning head allows hoses to pass through each of the three respective chambers. As a hose passes through the first of these chambers it is sprayed with an encircling high pressure stream of the cleaning fluid which effectively removes all dirt and debris from its surface. This chamber subsequently vacuums away the dirt debris and much of the excess cleaning fluid. The other two chambers are vacuum chambers which remove the fluid from the hose and transfer it back to the cleaning system in order to dry the clean hose. This system can easily be used each time the hose is loaded on the truck or any time as desired. Therefore, the hose stays clean and dry regardless of the condition in which the cleaner is being used.
