APPARATUS FOR CLEANING OF CONVEYING UNITS FOR MEDIA CAPABLE OF FLOW
20170341114 · 2017-11-30 · ·

Many conveying units for media capable of flow are used for products that are harmful to the environment and at least attack the conveying units themselves over time or deposit in them and clog them. Cleaning of the conveying units is therefore recommended, but such cleaning represents an effort that is preferably not made, because of the effort involved. Against this background, an apparatus for cleaning of conveying units, which apparatus can run both in simple manner and practically without supervision, uses a cleaning circuit in which the conveying unit to be cleaned is short-circuited with a cleaning agent tank and thereby constant circulation of cleaning agent through the conveying unit to be cleaned is pumped and the unit is thereby cleaned.
