An apparatus includes a casing configured to be detachably mounted on a workpiece. The casing includes a first opening configured to expose a portion of the workpiece; a first support member coupled to the casing and constructed to move along a first axis through the casing and rotate around the first axis; a second support member coupled to the first support member and constructed to move along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis; an arm pivotally coupled to the second support member and constructed to rotate around a third axis perpendicular to the first axis and the second axis; and a cleaning head attached to the arm and constructed to rotate around a longitudinal axis of the arm. The casing includes a first plate and a second plate opposite to the first plate, wherein the cleaning head is configured to extend outside the casing through the first opening.

Systems, devices, and methods for passing vertical travel robotic tank cleaning systems through openings while mounted to existing riser structures, the system can extend to the bottom of the tank and horizontally more than approximately 30 feet. Plural systems can be used within a tank to break down solid sludge by placing high-pressure nozzle(s) in close proximity to solid waste providing maximum coverage. A mechanical arm with a nozzle assembly utilizes high- and low-pressure fluid streams to fluidize and liquefy solids while directly moving them to a centrally located transfer pump. The systems work in highly radioactive, chemically aggressive, explosive, high temperature and low temperature environments through hydraulic actuation. Multiple axis of freedom allows the arm and nozzle assembly to navigate and clean around internal obstacles and reach close proximity for maximum nozzle impingement force. Systems can be remotely operated up to approximately 1000 feet away.

A scrubber system may include a scrubber housing including a vertically extended cleaning space, an inflow chamber coupled to a bottom portion of the scrubber housing, and first and second inflow portions, each of which is configured to supply a gas into the inflow chamber. The inflow chamber may include a mixing space, and the mixing space may be connected to the cleaning space. The first inflow portion may include a first connection pipe coupled to the inflow chamber to provide a first connection path and the second inflow portion may include a second connection pipe coupled to the inflow chamber to provide a second connection path. The first and second connection paths may be extended toward the mixing space in opposite directions, respectively, and may be connected to opposite portions of the mixing space, respectively.

A coffee brewing system includes a brew vessel adapted to receive water and ground coffee to produce and store a brewed beverage and to provide for a cleaning system. The brew vessel includes a filter and a magnet stirrer in the lower portion of the brew vessel. The magnet stirrer creates a water vortex for brewing the coffee. The used coffee grounds are allowed to settle on the filter creating a bed of used coffee grounds and the coffee is then filtered through both the bed of used coffee grounds and the filter and collected in a coffee storage container. A cleaning system is used to remove unsightly coffee stains and oil films in the system after a brewing cycle.

A concrete mixer system includes a washout system and a controller. The washout system includes a tank configured to store a fluid, a plurality of electronically controllable valves in fluid communication with the tank, and a plurality of nozzles. One or more of the plurality of nozzles are fluidly coupled to a respective one of the plurality of electronically controllable valves. Each of the plurality of nozzles is configured to be positioned to facilitate washing a respective component of a concrete mixer vehicle. The controller is configured to (i) receive an indication that the washout system is coupled to a continuous fluid source and (ii) operate the washout system in a continuous wash mode in response to receiving the indication.

A cleaner and a cleaning device are disclosed. The cleaner includes: a guide rail; a lifting lever, one end of which is disposed on the guide rail and capable of moving along the guide rail; a feed pipe, disposed inside the lifting lever; and a nozzle, disposed on an end portion of one end of the lifting lever away from the guide rail and communicated with the feed pipe. The lifting lever is configured to allow the nozzle to be away from or close to the guide rail.
