  • Cabinet washer and rack system
    Patent number: 8919360
    Abstract: A cabinet washer is supported on legs above a floor. Fluid dispensing heads discharge wash fluid within the cabinet. A sump collects wash fluid leaving the cabinet, for recirculation as desired through a pump. A wheeled cart has a frame which supports a tray and a rack above the wheels. Items to be washed are positioned on the rack and the cart is received within the cabinet, at which point the bottom wall of the tray underlies the cabinet bottom wall opening. The tray bottom wall slopes to receive fluid discharged within the cabinet interior compartment and convey it through a cabinet rear wall opening. The sump may be provided with a deflector which alternately sends fluid to be recirculated or drained from the sump. The front door may be hinged to the cabinet, or may be mounted to the cart itself.
