  • Publication number: 20070104608
    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).
