Hand-held garment steamer with scale collection chamber
10941517 · 2021-03-09 · ·

The present application relates to a hand-held garment steamer (1) comprising a steam generating chamber (5) having a surface (9) and a heater (10) to heat the surface (9) such that water fed onto the surface (9) is converted into steam. The hand-held garment steamer (1) further comprises a scale collection chamber (14) having an opening (25). The surface (9) and opening (25) are positioned relative to each other and configured so that when the garment steamer (1) is in a first orientation (A) in which the surface (9) extends downwardly away from the opening (25), water fed onto the surface (9) flows away from the opening (25) to be evaporated from the surface (9). When the garment steamer (1) is in a second orientation (B) in which the surface (9) extends downwardly towards the opening (25), scale dislodged from the surface (9) falls into the scale collection chamber (14) through the opening (25). The scale collection chamber (14) is located below the steam generating chamber (5) in both the first orientation (A) and the second orientation (B). The present application also relates to a garment steaming system (40) comprising the hand-held garment steamer (1).

METHOD OF REMOVING IMPURITIES FROM PLASTIC

Impurities are removed from plastic by cleaning using, as a cleaning medium, water heated to a level where a dielectric constant is 60 or less.

Removal of coffee grounds from a portafilter

An apparatus for use in cleaning a portafilter includes a portafilter receiver with a central opening. A landing area extends over at least a portion of the central opening. Spent grounds fall through a hole in the landing area when an inverted portafilter is positioned over the landing area during the cleaning process. Left and right retention members are spaced vertically above the landing area and portafilter receiving slots are defined between the retention members and the landing area. The receiving slots securely hold the portafilter above the landing area and center the cup portion of the portafilter over the hole. A receiving box is mounted below the portafilter receiver and receives the spent coffee grounds. A steam tube mounted to the receiving box connects to a pressurized steam supply and, when activated, directs pressurized steam through the hole of the landing area and into the cup portion of the inverted portafilter.

The present disclosure relates to an automobile including a steam washer mounted thereon capable of removing water remaining in the steam washer within a short period of time through the use of an air compressing tank and a compressed air feeding pump for feeding compressed air stored in the air compressing tank to a water chamber of a steam generator and a water tank.

CLEANING METHOD FOR STERILIZATION LINE AND STERILIZATION LINE
20200391989 · 2020-12-17 · ·

A sterilization line comprising upstream-side and downstream-side tanks for storing liquid which are connected by a conduit for transferring the liquid, holding tubes for sterilizing the liquid which are disposed in an intermediate section of the conduit, heating units for heating the liquid in stages which are disposed in a section of the conduit from the upstream-side tank to the holding tubes, and cooling units for cooling the product liquid in stages which are disposed in a section of the conduit from the holding tubes to the downstream-side tank. A swing bend is used to perform switching between a section of a liquid flow path located on the upstream side of multiple intermediate piping systems and a cleaning solution path for a cleaning-in-place operation and switching between a section of the liquid flow path located on the downstream side and the cleaning solution path for the cleaning-in-place operation.

Acid steam cleaning apparatus and acid steam cleaning method
10864560 · 2020-12-15 · ·

An acid steam cleaning apparatus for cleaning vessels using acid steam, comprising: a raw acid liquid container (1), a heater (2), a cleaning cavity (3), a double-walled tube, and a controller. The double-walled tube is installed in the cleaning cavity and has an inner tube (200) and an outer tube (300), wherein the inner tube (200) and the outer tube (300) closely contact each other; acid steam exit holes (230, 330) are provided around and/or at the upper portions of the inner tube (200) and the outer tube (300), the acid steam exit holes (230, 330) extending through the outer tube and the inner tube; the acid steam exit holes (230, 330) are in communication with the interior (220) of the inner tube (200); the interior (220) of the inner tube (200) is connected with an acid steam entry channel for forming an acid steam path; grooves (210) extending axially are provided on the outer surface of the inner tube (200); water/air entry holes (310) for water/air to enter are provided at the bottom of the outer tube (300), and water/air exit holes (320) for discharging water/air are distributed on the outer tube (300); the grooves (210) on the inner tube (200) are in communication with the water/air entry holes (310) and are in communication with the water/air exit holes (320) on the outer tube (300); the water/air entry holes (310) are connected with a water/air entry pipe for forming a water/air path. When vessels are being cleaned using acid steam, the vessels are fitted over the double-walled tube, and clean acid liquid and pure water pass through the acid steam path and the water/air path, so as to be separated from waste acid liquid, waste water, and waste air, such that the cleaning effect is improved, and the trouble of mounting and detaching components after cleaning is avoided.
