Abstract
The invention relates to equipment consisting of a stationary base (2) to which a rotary frame (3) is attached, which includes: on the one hand, means for supporting the containers (1) to be cleaned, on the other hand, in correlation with said containers (1), insufflation tubes (4) forming the rods of cylinders (6), suitable for being inserted, on the fly, into the correlating containers. The insufflation tubes comprise a ring (15) the travel of which is adjustable by means of abutments (16) arranged on a plate. Said plate-abutment (16), shared by all the insufflation tubes (4), can be controlled by means of a screw (17) and nut (18) system or by any other means, to adjust the position of the nozzles (9) located at the end of said tubes (4) to adapt said position according to the size of the containers (1).
