Abstract: A bin washer device for washing bins including a conveyor for moving the bins in a conveying direction, a support and at least two bin holders rotatably supported on the support for rotation about an axis adjacent the conveyor.

Abstract: A dual-side cleaning traversing screen filtration system which generally comprises a main trough water containment housing, a traversing manifold having a multitude of top and bottom disposed spray heads, flexible plumbing, a substantially planar, rectangular supported screen which is disposed over, and spans the opening of, the main trough water containment housing which, in the preferred embodiment, has a rectangular box like shape, with the combined assemblage functioning as a filter to separate unwanted debris from the water that passes through the screen into the slightly inclined main trough water containment housing where it can be continually removed and re-used.

Abstract: A bin washer device disposed along a conveyor that moves bins, includes a support and at least two bin holders, preferably three bin holders, rotatably supported on the support above the conveyor. Two left sprays are provided outside the path of the bin holders and at angles that are perpendicular to one another. Similarly, two right sprays are provided outside the path and at angles perpendicular to one another. The right sprays minor the left sprays whereby that all sides of a bin are washed. A method includes stopping rotation of the support, discharging a bin from a first bin holder and receiving a bin into the first bin holder. The support is then rotated and the bins in the bin holders are washed. The support is again stopped and a bin a discharged from a second bin holder, and a next bin is received in the second bin holder. The support is then rotated and the bins in the bin holders are washed. These steps are repeated for each bin holder and/or until all of the bins have been washed.

Abstract: A vehicle has a safe and a utility device operable for performing a task having a result capable of being measured. A local processor is associated with local storage, each of which is housed in a safe preventing access thereto. An operator input console associated with the local storage is carried by the vehicle and is disposed outside the safe. A positioning system associated with the local processor generates position information of the vehicle during operation of the utility device. A sensor associated with the utility device and the local processor generates result information of the result of the operation of the utility device. The local processor stores in the local storage the position information, the result information, and the operator input information. The operator input console and the local processor are adapted and arranged preventing access to the local storage in response to operation of the operator input console.

Abstract: A method for washing produce to inhibit or eliminate decay due to pathogens comprises washing the produce using a solution of alkaline salt of bicarbonate under conditions effective to inhibit or eliminate produce decay. Preferred embodiments include spraying the produce under pressure with a solution of alkaline salt of bicarbonate under preferred conditions, and immersing the produce in a solution of alkaline salt of bicarbonate and a sanitizing agent. Also, an apparatus for preventing or eliminating produce decay comprises components to facilitate use of the method of washing produce.
