Abstract
A pig cleaning and transportation system is disclosed. Exemplary implementations include a platform with a plurality of apertures; a plurality of securing mechanisms, each mechanism within each aperture and configured to hold a pig and allow it to rotate around its longitudinal axis; a base underneath the platform; and a cleaning element connected to the base and positioned on each longitudinal side of the platform in pressure contact with the pigs on the plurality of securing mechanisms, each cleaning element including at least one cleaning material surface.
Claims15
A pig cleaning and transportation system comprising:
- a platform with a plurality of apertures;
- a plurality of securing mechanisms, each mechanism positioned within each aperture and configured to hold a pig and allow the pig to rotate around the pig's longitudinal axis;
- a base underneath the platform;
- and
- a cleaning element connected to the base and positioned on each longitudinal side of the platform in pressure contact with the pigs on the plurality of securing mechanisms, each cleaning element including at least one cleaning material surface.
A method of cleaning and transporting a plurality of pigs utilizing a system comprising a platform with a plurality of apertures;
- a plurality of securing mechanisms, each mechanism within each aperture and configured to hold a pig and allows the pig to rotate around the pig's longitudinal axis;
- a base underneath the platform;
- and a cleaning element connected to the base and positioned on each longitudinal side of the platform in pressure contact with the pigs on the plurality of securing mechanisms, each cleaning element including at least one cleaning material surface, the method comprising:
- placing at least one pig in contact with the platform by way of one of the securing mechanisms;
- and
- moving the platform along the base such that the at least one pig is rotating with the one of the securing mechanisms and in pressure contact with the cleaning material surface.
