A cleaning device is provided. The cleaning device includes a basket-like structure. The basket-like structure comprises a wall-like portion which comprises a base. The base comprises a central portion, wherein shape, size and perforations of the base of the basket-like structure is designed to provide substantially more resistance to a fluid in the blender jar. The shape, size, and perforation of the wall-like portion is designed to provide substantially less resistance to the fluid in the blender jar. The device is a vortex enhancing device. The design of the base and the wall-like portion are capable of producing enhanced vortex in a fluid placed in the blender jar, during a working state of the blender jar.

A support frame for a basket in a cleaning tank is attached to a lifting member to raise and lower the basket and also two vertical stabilising members to prevent unwanted movement of the basket when asymmetrically or heavily loaded, which may lead the basket to jam against the sides of the tank. The stabilising members run in guides external to the tank and include skids or wheels for low friction movement. Further rollers attached to the baskets prevent it from fouling against the inside surfaces of the tank.

An apparatus for cleaning and cooking seafood or crustacea has a container with an interior volume defined by a tapered wall, a basket removably received in the interior volume of the container, a pipe positioned adjacent to the wall of the container and having a plurality of apertures adapted to direct the flow of water through holes of the basket, and a connector fluidically connected to the pipe and having a portion extending outwardly of the tapered wall of the container. The basket is tapered so as to be nestable within the tapered wall of the container. The basket has an indentation with holes extending over the pipe. A pot is spaced from the container and nestably removably receives the basket therein.

Example embodiments relate to devices and methods for collecting and cleaning solid substances. An example device is provided for cleaning dirt particles from a solid body. The device includes a driving shaft configured to rotate along a rotational direction. The device also includes a container arrangement that includes a first slotted container. Further, the device includes a second slotted container attached to the first slotted container and to the driving shaft via a fitting arrangement. The fitting arrangement is configured to simultaneously rotate the second slotted container within the first slotted container in a direction opposite to the rotational direction of the driving shaft.
