An apparatus for rinsing the interior of a container, for example a drinks bottle in a drink filling installation, includes a container receiving member for receiving a container that is configured to hold the container at least for a rinsing operation in a predetermined position in which the container is orientated with respect to a longitudinal axis of the container and/or a centre axis of the container opening with respect to gravitational acceleration at an inclination angle with a downwardly directed container opening and a rinsing nozzle for introducing a jet of rinsing fluid through the container opening into the container. The rinsing nozzle is arranged and configured to introduce the jet of rinsing fluid into the container opening in a state orientated at an introduction angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the container and/or the centre axis of the container opening. A corresponding method is described.

A machine for removing labels from reusable containers includes a support for at least one reusable container, to which at least one label to be removed is applied on its lateral surface, and is provided with at least one cutting device adapted to perform at least one at least partial cut of the label, and elements for removing the label from the container which include nozzles for emitting at least one high-pressure jet of fluid toward the label.

The present disclosure generally relates to washing or rinsing of packages, containers, and associated lids. More particularly, the disclosure pertains to a washing or rinsing apparatus for cleaning packaging for biocides. A rinsing apparatus is that includes a housing, which has a wash section and a drain section. The rinsing apparatus includes a stop plate disposed within the housing that divides the wash section from the drain section. The apparatus includes a solution distribution nozzle disposed within the wash section of the housing.

Provided are methods and systems for cleaning various semiconductor substrate storage articles, in particular, FOUP doors. The FOUP doors and other similar articles often have openings that may get contaminated with cleaning liquids if not covered. The described cleaning system includes contact points for engaging the article and covering these openings. The contact points may be also used for supporting the article and for pressurizing the openings in the article with a gas. The gas may be supplied through one or more contact points. It prevents liquids from getting into the openings if even the openings are not completely sealed. The pressurization may be maintained through the entire wet portion of the cleaning process. The article may be rotated within the cleaning system while cleaning and/or other liquids or gases are dispensed through a set of spraying nozzles. Spraying nozzles may move to enhance cleaning of the article.

A vessel rinsing apparatus including a mounting base, a fluid discharge member including a plurality of nozzles, a valve member operably coupled to the fluid discharge member and configured to control water flow through the nozzles, and an escutcheon supported by the mounting base.

A combination cleaning and disposal assembly for safely cleaning and rendering unusable a jug containing a hazardous chemical residue. A body supports a receiving chamber for receiving the jug. A manifold is supported by the body and has a plurality of spikes arrayed toward the jug. A pressurized fluid source is communicated to the manifold such that, upon an inter-displacement occurs between the manifold and the container, the spikes are caused to pierce the container, the pressurized fluid being caused to issue from the spikes to clean an interior of the container. A floor of the chamber has irregular surfaces to assist in deforming the jug during puncturing and outflow of contaminated fluid. A drain is located underneath the jug receiving chamber which collects and segregates the fluid contaminated with the chemical residue for securing disposal concurrent with removing and disposing of the cleaned and punctured jug.
