Abstract: A washing machine (1) for washing animal cages and/or other equipment or accessories used in animal facilities and/or in research laboratories, comprising a washing chamber (2); a plurality of rods (3) arranged inside the washing chamber (2) and designed for spraying a fluid on a load to be washed, each rod (3) comprising a plurality of nozzles (4) for the inlet of said fluid in said washing chamber (2); pumping means associated with the rods (3) to feed the fluid to the nozzles (4); the machine 1 comprises a maximum of six of such rods (3).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for abatement of vapors for washing machines as well as to a washing machine comprising the apparatus. The apparatus for abatement of vapors according to the present invention simultaneously allows vapors generated inside the washing chamber to be effectively abated and the energy consumption of the machine to be optimized by pre-heating the working fluid.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a system for the disassembly, handling and reassembly of animal containment cages for use in a lab animal room, comprising automated means for handling and moving the cages (2, 3), at least one disassembly station (60) where said cages are placed during their disassembly, and a control unit that governs said automated means (2, 3) as a function of the parameters identified by suitable detection sensors (62, 63, 64) located at said disassembly station. The present invention also concerns the method implemented by said system.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an automated system for handling trays for containing animals in a lab animal room, and particularly for inverting the trays when they emerge from the tunnel washer. One object of the present invention is thus a completely automated system comprising an inverter device associated with a system for moving the trays on rotating rollers and complete with stopper means capable of blocking the trays in their forward feed movement synchronized, by means of a central control unit, with the movements of an inverter device capable of managing trays of different shapes and sizes.

Abstract: This invention concerns a washing machine, particularly for washing out the cages and tanks used in animal laboratories, comprising a wash chamber into which a load of the items to be washed can be inserted and equipped with multiple nozzles and a water collection reservoir situated in the floor of the wash chamber. It is characterised by the fact that it comprises a single hydraulic circuit suitable for carrying out, using the system of supplying water to the load, the entire wash and rinse cycles, without the need for two separate wash and rinse circuits. The object of this invention is also the washing method carried out by this machine.
