Abstract
A run-through cleaning device for bulk parts as well as a cleaning method therefor. Within the run-through cleaning device, the bulk parts are moved by means of a forced advance. By means of chicanes and/or a curvilinear course of the channel interior, the mutually abutting front ends of adjacent bulk parts are made accessible. Due to this arrangement, it is possible to also clean the front ends.
Claims21
A run-through cleaning device for bulk parts, comprising:
- at least one modular tunnel-like channel segment through which the bulk parts are movable in a longitudinal direction along a cleaning path in a channel interior,
- a conveyor device of the bulk parts which is arranged outside of the at least one channel segment and by means of which the bulk parts are movable in a row with mutual abutment of adjacent bulk parts through the at least one channel segment in a movement direction, wherein the channel interior defines constructively an at least partly curvilinear course of the cleaning path, whereby an arrangement of adjacent bulk parts to each other is changeable during a movement through the channel interior, and
- a plurality of supply conduits, which are distributed over the channel segment, into the channel interior and at least one discharge conduit out of the channel interior.
A modular tunnel-like channel segment of a run-through cleaning device through which bulk parts are movable in a longitudinal direction along a cleaning path in a channel interior which defines constructively an at least partly curvilinear course of the cleaning path, whereby an arrangement of adjacent bulk parts to each other is changeable during a movement through the channel interior.
