Portable non-immersion cleaning apparatus

A cleaning apparatus for non-immersion cleaning with abrading particles and drying with an air flow, the apparatus comprising:

• a housing, the housing defined by at least one panel, at least one exhaust, a top end, and a base, the base having at least one channel;
• an air blower, the air blower defined by a variable speed control, the air blower configured to generate an air flow, the velocity of the air flow regulated by the variable speed control;
• a drum, the drum defined by an outer surface and a cavity, the cavity having a plurality of fins, the plurality of fins defined by a plurality of apertures, the plurality of apertures configured to enable passage of the air flow to the at least one exhaust of the housing, the drum disposed inside the housing, the drum configured to rotate;
• an electric direct drive motor, the electric direct drive motor configured to rotate the drum;
• a door, the door defined by a collar, a sealing ring, and an inlet, the collar configured to protrude into the cavity, the sealing ring configured to restrict passage of the air flow into the cavity of the drum, the inlet configured to enable the air flow to pass into the cavity of the drum, the door configured to enable access to the drum by moving between an open position and a closed position;
• a drum enclosure, the drum enclosure defined by generally rounded corners, the drum enclosure disposed between the housing and the drum, the drum enclosure configured to form a vacuum, wherein the rounded corners of the vacuum housing enhance the vacuum such that the air flow is increased and a static pressure is decreased in the drum enclosure;
• a filter portion, the filter portion configured to at least partially clean the air flow;
• a bin, the bin disposed approximately at the base of the housing;
• a control portion, the control portion defined by a digital flat screen interface and a microprocessor, the microprocessor configured to control the variable speed control of the air blower and the direct drive motor;
• and
• an emergency cut-off switch, the emergency cut-off switch configured to power off the electric direct drive motor and the air dryer.
