The item-to-be-cleaned carrier can be used in particular for cleaning personal protective equipment. The item-to-be-cleaned carrier comprises at least one base element and at least one nozzle tube, which is connected to the base element. The nozzle tube has at least one inlet opening having at least one catching funnel . The nozzle tube has at least one outlet nozzle. The nozzle tube tapers, at least in parts, from the inlet opening to the outlet nozzle. The invention further relates to a cleaning system and to a method for cleaning items to be cleaned, which have at least one cavity, using the cleaning system.

Abstract: What is proposed is a cleaning appliance (110) for cleaning articles to be cleaned (116). The cleaning appliance (110) comprises at least one cleaning chamber (114) and at least one nozzle (123) for applying at least one cleaning fluid (118) to the articles to be cleaned (116) within the cleaning chamber (114). The cleaning appliance (110) also comprises at least one temperature sensor (168), which is arranged in at least one desired jet region (166) of the nozzle (123). The cleaning appliance (110) also comprises a control unit (157), which is designed to analyze at least one sensor signal of the temperature sensor (168) and to evaluate a jet behavior of the nozzle (123) on the basis of the sensor signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for applying a fluid (32) to items (14) to be cleaned, which items are continuously or intermittently transported in the conveying direction (12) in an automatic cleaning machine, preferably an automatic pass-through dishwasher. At least two, preferably tubular, spray bodies (26.1, 26.2, 26.3, . . . 26.n) which are spaced apart from one another are arranged in at least one spray plane (22, 24) which is oriented parallel to the conveying direction (12) of the items (14) to be cleaned.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transporting a transportation rack (12) through a conveyor-type dishwasher which has a plurality of treatment zones by means of transportation catches (10) which are accommodated on transportation rails (5, 6). The transportation catches (10) transport transportation racks (12) in the conveying direction (1.1), with the transportation rails (5, 6) being driven by means of a rotary shaft (3). The transportation catches (10) pivot (11) about a shaft (8), which runs parallel to the conveying direction (1.1), during a forward stroke (VH) of the transportation rails (5, 6) and during the return stroke (RH) of said transportation rails. The invention also relates to a conveyor-type dishwasher comprising transportation rails (5, 6) on which transportation catches (10) are held. The transportation catches (10) are mounted such that they can pivot on shafts (8) which are oriented parallel to the conveying direction (1.1) of the transportation rack (12).

Abstract: The invention relates to a conveyor dishwasher having at least one washing zone (6, 7), at least one rinsing zone (8, 9) and a heat-recovery device (13) with a suction-extraction means. The dishwasher also comprises a drying zone (11). Openings (17, 18, 19, 20, 21) are provided for the suction extraction of air from the dishwasher. The overall quantity of the exhaust-airstream (24) can be varied by means of closing elements (25, 26, 27, 28), in dependence on the operating state of the dishwasher, by virtue of the openings (17, 18, 19, 20, 21) being completely or partially closed or released.

Abstract: In a method and an apparatus for operation of a dishwasher, a total maximum electric output is assigned to a group of electric consumer elements of the dishwasher. In addition, at least two output levels are assigned to each electric consumer element of said group. An optimum combination of output levels is then selected in a requirement determination step, based on an operational state B of the dishwasher, whereby for each consumer element the selected output level is adapted to the output requirement of the consumer element in operational state B and the total output of all consumer elements does not exceed the maximum electric total output. The output levels of the individual consumer elements are optimally adapted in accordance with the requirements in operating phases of the dishwasher, thus allowing a response to be made to any fluctuations in the operational state.

Abstract: The energy-saving operation of dishwashers (110; 410) plays an important role, in particular for larger enterprises, e.g. for the canteens of hospitals or large enterprises, and in the medical disinfection field. The invention thus discloses a method and a device, in which a total maximum electric output is assigned to a group of electric consumer elements (14, 15, 18, 19, 22, 23, 26, 33; 418, 420, 432, 438) of a dishwasher (110; 410). In addition, at least two output levels are assigned to each electric consumer element (14, 15, 18, 19, 22, 23, 26, 33; 418, 420, 432, 438) of said group.
