US 8,997,763 B2 · Bin washing system

Abstract

Provided is an example of bin washing system. The bin washing system may include a first solid-liquid separating device, a second solid-liquid separating device, a pump, and an inlet structure. The first solid-liquid separating device may be configured to receive a first solid-liquid suspension having first solids and second solids, separate the first solids from the second solids, and dispatch a second solid-liquid suspension having the second solids. The second solid-liquid separating device may be configured to receive the second solid-liquid suspension, capture the second solids, and dispatch cleaned water. The pump may be configured to pump cleaning water to the first solid-liquid separating device. The inlet structure may be configured to receive waste water that includes the first and second solids. The bin washing system may be configured to combine the cleaning water pumped by the pump with the waste water to form the first solid-liquid suspension.

Dependent claims

A bin washing system comprising:

a first solid-liquid separating device configured to receive a first solid-liquid suspension having first solids and second solids, separate the first solids from the second solids, and dispatch a second solid-liquid suspension having the second solids;
a second solid-liquid separating device configured to receive the second solid-liquid suspension, capture the second solids, and dispatch cleaned water;
a pump configured to pump the cleaned water;
a hopper configured to receive waste water generated by spraying water on an inside of a bin;
an eductor configured to receive the waste water from the hopper and the cleaned water from the pump, wherein the waste water includes the first and second solids, the eductor is configured to combine the cleaned water pumped by the pump with the waste water to form the first solid-liquid suspension and the cleaned water pumped by the pump provides motive force to draw the waste water through the eductor;
and a first tank configured to receive the cleaned water and provide the cleaned water to the pump.
