Abstract: The invention relates to an item-to-be-cleaned carrier for the cleaning of items to be cleaned, which have at least one cavity, the cleaning being performed in a conveyor washer. 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: A method for cleaning items to be cleaned is disclosed. A cleaning device is used that has at least one cleaning chamber and at least one applicator for applying at least one cleaning fluid to the items to be cleaned in the cleaning chamber. A desired hygiene value is prespecified. The method further includes time-resolved recording of at least two influencing variables which influence hygienization of the items to be cleaned. Hygiene share values are determined from the influencing variables using a prespecified relationship between each influencing variable and the respective hygiene value share of said influencing variable. An expected actual hygiene value at the end of the cleaning from the hygiene value shares is ascertained and compared with the desired hygiene value. At least one of the influencing variables is changed based on the comparison. An inventive cleaning device is also disclosed.

Abstract: A cleaning apparatus for cleaning articles for cleaning is proposed. The cleaning apparatus comprises at least one cleaning chamber and at least one covering apparatus which at least partially encloses the cleaning chamber. The covering apparatus is movable over an opening travel from a closed position into an opened position or vice versa. The covering apparatus is connected via at least one force transmission path to at least one spring element. At least one spring force of the spring element can be transmitted by means of the force transmission path to the covering apparatus. The force transmission path has at least one torque converter. The torque converter has a transmission ratio which varies over the opening travel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for the recooling of cleaned items in automatic cleaning and disinfecting machines for containers containing human excreta. According to the proposed method, the items to be cleaned, which are contained in a chamber (1), are rinsed off inside said chamber (1), after which a precleaning rinsing step takes place. The items to be cleaned, which are contained in the chamber (1), are then subjected to a final cleaning with water that contains a clear rinse additive, before the items to be cleaned are subjected to a disinfection step in the chamber (1) by introduction of steam into the latter. With the door (5) closed, air is forcibly introduced into the steam-filled chamber (1), which leads to steam condensation inside the chamber (1) and also to cooling and drying of the cleaned items contained in the chamber (1).
