Abstract
A bulk transport vehicle cleaning system is provided and includes a storage compartment having walls and an inlet and an outlet, a vacuum unit movably attached to an inner surface of at least one of the walls of the storage compartment, wherein the vacuum unit is configured to move along the inner surface and suction residual material and dust from the inner surface, a filter system connected to the outlet and a vacuum generator connected to the filter system, wherein the vacuum generator generates a vacuum within the storage compartment of the bulk transport vehicle so that air flows from the inlet of the storage compartment toward the vacuum generator, and wherein the filter system removes material and particles from the air.
Claims14
A bulk transport vehicle cleaning system comprising:
- a vacuum unit that is independently, movably attached to an inner surface of at least one wall of a storage compartment of a bulk transport vehicle, the storage compartment having an inlet and an outlet, wherein the vacuum unit is configured to move along the inner surface and suction residual material and dust from the inner surface;
- a filter system connected to said outlet;
- and
- a vacuum generator connected to said filter system, wherein said vacuum generator generates a vacuum within the storage compartment of the bulk transport vehicle so that air flows from said inlet of the storage compartment toward said vacuum generator, and wherein said filter system removes material and particles from the air.
A bulk transport vehicle cleaning system comprising:
- plurality of storage compartments of a bulk transport vehicle, each of said storage compartments including a plurality of walls, an inlet and an outlet;
- a vacuum unit that is independently, movably attached to an inner surface of at least one of the walls of one or more of the storage compartments, wherein the vacuum unit is configured to move along the inner surface and suction residual material and dust from the inner surface;
- a filter system connected to said outlet;
- and
- a vacuum generator connected to said filter system, wherein said vacuum generator generates a vacuum within at least one of the storage compartments of the bulk transport vehicle so that air flows from said inlet of the at least one of the storage compartments toward said vacuum generator, and wherein said filter system removes material and particles from the air.
