The invention relates to a washing device for elongate profile sections (7) which have been cut to length, comprising a drum (5, 6) which is rotatable about a horizontally oriented axis of rotation (3, 4), said drum having a plurality of receiving areas (8, 9) which are arranged next to one another along the circumference of the drum and into which elongate profile sections (7) oriented along the longitudinal direction (L) can be inserted, comprising a receiving opening (11) for the elongate profile sections (7) and a discharge opening (12) for the elongate profile sections (7) and an upper transport path (To) for the elongate profile sections (7), said upper transport path running between the receiving opening (11) and the discharge opening (12), wherein the upper transport path (To) passes the axis of rotation (3, 4) on the side thereof facing away from the ground, wherein an opening width of the discharge opening (12) is adjustable in the circumferential direction.
Washing device for elongate profile sections which have been cut to length, comprising a drum which is rotatable about a horizontally oriented axis of rotation, said drum having a plurality of receiving areas which are arranged next to one another along the circumference of the drum and into which elongate profile sections oriented along the longitudinal direction can be inserted, comprising a receiving opening for the elongate profile sections and a discharge opening for the elongate profile sections and an upper transport path for the elongate profile sections, said upper transport path running between the receiving opening and the discharge opening wherein the upper transport path passes the axis of rotation on the side thereof facing away from the ground, characterized in that an opening width of the discharge opening is adjustable in the circumferential direction.
Method for cleaning elongate profile sections which have been cut to length, in which the elongate profile sections are oriented along a longitudinal direction, the elongate profile sections are inserted via a receiving opening into receiving areas which are arranged next to one another along the circumference of a drum, and the drum is rotated about the horizontally oriented axis of rotation and the elongate profile sections are removed from the receiving areas via a discharge opening, the elongate profile sections are transported between the receiving opening and the discharge opening along an upper transport path, wherein the upper transport path passes the axis of rotation on the side thereof facing away from the ground, characterized in that a diameter of the elongate profile sections is determined prior to the insertion of the latter and an opening width of the discharge opening is adjusted in the circumferential direction.
