A container washing system may include a wash system, a drying system, and a conveying system. The conveying system may include a series of rollers to provide a path for a container to pass through the wash system and the drying system. The wash system and drying system may be housed in a containment structure, which may be mounted to a trailer thereby allowing the container washing system to be portable. The wash system may include one or more water jets for spraying water at a container carried by the conveying system, and the drying system may include one or more air nozzles for directing moving air at the container carried by the conveying system. The conveying system may be motorized to automatically convey the container through the wash system and the drying system. The water may be reclaimed, filtered, and recirculated through the wash system.

The invention relates to apparatuses, machines, systems and methods for periodically washing and/or disinfecting the interior of individual containers having a polygonal base (e.g., rectangular), such as bins of the type used for the used for agricultural commodity collection, storage, and transport (agricultural bins), as well as other types of bins and containers. The systems of the present invention may be operable to automatically and thoroughly clean the interior of such bins.

An embodiment of the present subject matter including a FOUP body and a FOUP cover includes: a loading and unloading part configured to load or unload the FOUP; a standby part which is provided at one side of the loading and unloading part and on which the FOUP body and the FOUP cover are separated from or coupled to each other; a cleaning chamber configured to clean the FOUP body and the FOUP cover using steam; and a robot configured to transport the FOUP body and the FOUP cover between the standby part and the cleaning chamber.

The invention relates to a machine that may include an inside space housing a frame which is configured to support at least one accessory to be washed. The frame is connected to a front shaft that is also configured to rotate during the washing of the accessory. The frame may include a cross-member connected to the front shaft, a base formed by two angular supports that include first branches which are coupled to the cross-member, and second branches on which the accessory to be washed rests. The two angular supports of the base have a first adjustment for varying the height thereof in a substantially vertical plane, and the angular supports of the base have a second adjustment for varying the distance between the two angular supports of the base in a substantially horizontal plane.

A container cleaning apparatus includes a frame and a platform assembly pivotably coupled to the frame. The platform assembly includes a platform, guide walls coupled to the platform, a back wall coupled to the platform, and a front gate, the front gate slidingly coupled to the platform. The container cleaning apparatus also includes a fork assembly, the fork assembly including a fork movable between a locked position and an unlocked position and a cleaning nozzle assembly.

A system may automatically conduct hygiene cycles for a confined space such an interior space of a box suitable for storing and/or carrying packaged food. The system may include a hygiene device that can be attached to the box to conduct the hygiene cycles. The system may also automatically collect information related to the hygiene cycles and transmit the collected information to a network.

A system may automatically conduct hygiene cycles for a confined space such an interior space of a box suitable for storing and/or carrying packaged food. The system may include a hygiene device that can be attached to the box to conduct the hygiene cycles and a user interface device that can wirelessly communicate with the hygiene device to control the conduction of the hygiene cycles. The system may also automatically collect information related to the hygiene cycles using the hygiene device and transmit the collected information to a network directly or through the user interface device.

A washing machine, which is adapted for cages and accessories used in the field of research on laboratory animals, and which has a wash chamber and an assembly for introducing washing liquid and rinsing liquid into the wash chamber, includes: two loading levels in the wash chamber, each loading level having two shelves arranged in symmetrical positions relative to the median longitudinal axis of the wash chamber; supports for the shelves, the supports being located in symmetrical positions on both sidewalls of the wash chamber and allowing the shelves to be arranged at different tilting angles; three washing and rinsing assemblies oscillating and rotating about a respective longitudinal axis in the wash chamber, the three assemblies being fed by the assembly for introducing washing liquid and rinsing liquid, and being interposed between the loading levels and lying in a symmetrical vertical plane in the wash chamber; an assembly for causing the oscillation and rotation of the three washing and rinsing assemblies.
