Abstract
An apparatus and method for cleaning containers using water within the container and a submersible pump exhibiting a nozzle. Air may be injected into the pumped water to increase its pressure as it exists the nozzle.
Claims13
A jetter comprising:
- a submersible, portable pump comprising a liquid intake and a liquid exhaust;
- a submersible hydraulic motor comprising a hydraulic fluid intake, the submersible hydraulic motor operatively coupled with the submersible pump controlling a rate at which liquid flows from the liquid intake to the liquid exhaust, wherein the liquid exits the liquid exhaust at a first pressure;
- a nozzle in communication with the liquid exhaust, wherein the nozzle expels water at a second pressure to a container to remove debris from the container, wherein the second pressure is greater than the first pressure;
- and
- a passageway for injection of air into the liquid exhaust.
2 more elements
A fetter comprising:
- a nozzle positionable in a container;
- a pump comprising an exhaust, the pump positionable in the container, wherein the pump expels water at a first pressure;
- a liquid conduit comprising proximal and distal ends in communication with the exhaust, the distal end in communication with the nozzle;
- wherein the nozzle is rotatably adjustable and the nozzle expels the water at a second pressure to the container to remove debris from the container;
- and
- a gas intake in communication with the liquid conduit, the gas intake pressurizing liquid in the liquid conduit to a pressure greater than a pressure of the liquid in the proximal end of the liquid conduit.
3 more elements
A jetter for cleaning water-containing containers comprising:
- a pump hydraulically driven, the pump comprising an intake, wherein the pump pressurizes water to a first pressure;
- an exhaust conduit exiting the water pump;
- at least one nozzle in communication with the water exhaust conduit, the nozzle releasing liquid at a pressure greater than the first pressure into a container, whereby the pressure removes debris from the container;
- and
- a gas conduit in communication with the exhaust conduit, the gas conduit pressurizing liquid within the exhaust conduit to a second pressure, wherein the second pressure is greater than the first pressure.

A fetter comprising:
- a submersible, portable pump comprising a liquid intake and a liquid exhaust;
- a submersible hydraulic motor comprising a hydraulic fluid intake, the submersible hydraulic motor operatively coupled with the submersible pump controlling a rate at which liquid flows from the liquid intake to the liquid exhaust, wherein the liquid exits the liquid exhaust at a first pressure;
- a nozzle in communication with the liquid exhaust, wherein the nozzle expels water at a second pressure to a container to remove debris from the container, wherein the second pressure is greater than the first pressure;
- a liquid conduit having proximal and distal ends in communication with the liquid exhaust of the submersible pump, the distal end in communication with the nozzle;
- and
- a gas intake in communication with the liquid conduit, the gas intake pressurizing liquid in the conduit to a pressure greater than a pressure of the liquid in the proximal end of the liquid conduit.
