A milk cart comprises a chassis, a storage tank coupled to the chassis, and a conveyor system comprising an exit configured to connect to a return line that terminates inside the storage tank. The return line comprises a first portion extending vertically towards a bottom of the inside of the storage tank, a second portion extending vertically in a direction towards a top of the inside the storage tank, and a base portion extending from the first portion to the second portion. The second portion is positioned at a lateral distance from an interior of a wall of the storage tank and further comprises an upper end comprising at least one opening.

A device for rinsing a container with a rinsing medium is described. The device includes a nozzle for introducing the rinsing medium into the container that is to be rinsed and a suction extractor for extracting by suction at least a portion of the rinsing medium that flows back out of the container. The nozzle has a medium outlet through which the rinsing medium enters the container that is to be rinsed. The nozzle is displaceably guided in a guide and is displaceable between a withdrawn position for positioning the container and a position in which it is inserted in the container for rinsing the container with the rinsing medium. A guide is disposed between the medium outlet of the nozzle and at least a region of the suction extractor.

A bottle cleaner includes a housing defining a chamber therein. A support frame is disposed within the housing to support one or more bottles. A base is disposed below the housing. A bottom liner is at least partially received within the housing. The bottom liner defines a plurality of openings and a fluid reservoir. At least one pump is disposed within the base to pump liquid from within the fluid reservoir to one or more spray jets for cleaning the bottles. Further, a blower and heater are disposed within the base. The blower discharges air into the chamber through the plurality of openings to dry the bottles. A heater element produces steam which aids in steam sterilization functionality.
