PAN CLEANING SYSTEM AND IMPROVED CLEANING STATIONS UTILIZNG MODULAR SWING ARM CLEANING SECTIONS
A commercial baking dry pan cleaning system is provided having a support frame with one or more modular swing arms mounted thereto. One or more controllers is provided to control the one or more modular swing arms. One or more unclean pan conveyors provides a stream of unclean baking pans to the system. The controller engages one or more actuators to operate the one or more modular swing arms which swing around one or more pivot points to swing a cleaning subsystem or module into contact with the unclean stream of pans. A position limiter is coupled to each of the swing arms to set an initial operating position. The limiter communicates with the controllers. The cleaning subsystem is swung into position on the modular swing arm to engage the unclean pan. The controllers are adapted to sense and control a pressure exerted by the cleaning subsystems on the pan and maintain pressure within a pressure range. The controller whilst sensing the pressure exerted on the pan can also sense certain error conditions thereby disengage the pan if the sense pressures are outside of ranges.
VIBRATING BRUSH FOR ENDOSCOPE REPROCESSING
Devices, systems, and methods for cleaning endoscopic channels. A brush may have multiple brush heads along a wire and a vibration device. The vibration device may have motor-controlled gears to hold the wire and move the wire and brush heads with both forward and backward movements to clean the channel.
BRUSH FOR ENDOSCOPE REPROCESSING
Devices, systems, and methods for cleaning channels within an endoscopic device. A brush may be used for cleaning an endoscopic medical device, for example, for cleaning a channel of the endoscopic medical device. The brush may include a wire, a plurality of receiver bodies disposed along the wire and attached to the wire. Each receiver body may have a concave shape oriented in a same direction along the wire defining a front direction. In front of each of the plurality of receiver bodies there may be a plurality of bristles attached to the wire and extending transversely from the wire.
AUTOMATED UNDERWATER SENSOR CLEANING DEVICE AND METHOD
An automated underwater sensor cleaning device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a sensor protection tube, a movable cleaner that is installed on the sensor protection tube and cleans the sensor protection tube while vertically moving along the sensor protection tube, and a controller configured to control an operation of the movable cleaner.
MEDICAL TOOLS FOR INTERACTING WITH LUMENS
Medical lumen interacting tools and associated manufacturing methods are provided. A medical lumen interacting tool comprises an elongated core having a longitudinal axis, a body attached to the elongated core for interacting with the lumen, and one or more anchors interlocking the body with the elongated core along the longitudinal axis of the elongated core to hinder relative movement between the elongated core and the body along the longitudinal axis.
Sucker rod wiping tool
Method of cleaning sucker rods using a portable cleaning tool containing a rotating brush assembly to remove scale and corrosion residue on the sucker rods is described herein. The brush is annular with an empty or hollow center, such that the rod can penetrate through the hole in the brush. The tool is powered by air compression, and also contains a mechanism of removing the collected debris for disposal. The cleaning tool assembly could be either a standalone device on site placed on a mounted rack, or could be attached to the rod to be cleaned.
MANAGEMENT OF OFFGAS DUCT ACCRETIONS IN A SMELTING PROCESS
The present disclosure is directed to an improved direct smelting process for improving the efficiency of energy/heat recovery from hot smelter offgas for the purpose of steam raising and power generation. In examples, the formation of alkali sulfate accretions in the temperature range 500-1000 C. are removed by introducing a mechanical sweep-cleaning system to an offgas duct of the smelter. The sweep-cleaning system comprises at least one central rotating shaft with chains, with each chain optionally having an accretion-removal member at its distal end. When rotated, the chains lift and the accretion-removal member sweeps the walls of the duct to remove the accretions.
Gun barrel brush
A cleaning tool for ported firearm barrels with integrated suppressors is disclosed. The tool comprises a cylindrical brush housing with an inner cavity to accommodate a barrel brush insert featuring radially extending bristles for removing carbon deposits and debris. A retaining washer and clip secure the brush insert within the housing. The assembly includes a cylindrical handle with internal threading to engage the housing's threaded neck, and an externally knurled surface for improved grip. The brush insert is interchangeable, allowing various cleaning media such as stainless steel, alloy steel, Aluminum, Bronze, Nylon, Brass, Plastic, Polypropylene, rubber, or other metals. The design eliminates the need for firearm disassembly and avoids reliance on the suppressor as a cleaning component, enhancing user safety and preserving firearm integrity. This tool facilitates efficient maintenance of firearms with integrally suppressed systems, promoting reliability and extending the lifespan of the firearm.
UNIVERSAL DRAIN STOPPER AND CLEANING SYSTEM
A drain stopper assembly to reduce the growth of microbes within a drain is disclosed, including a support rod extending between a cap and a bottom portion. A pivot rod holder is positioned at an end of the bottom portion. A water separator is positioned at a top portion of the support rod, and a screen slidingly engaged between the support rod and the water separator. The drain stopper is removably insertable into a drain to extend between the drain opening and a waterline at the drain trap.
