PAN CLEANER MACHINE WITH IMPROVED CLEANING MODULE, CONTROLLER AND METHODS OF SAME
The invention relates to an improved system, device and method for optimized, high volume cleaning of pans, related brush modules, and methods of operating and processing same A pan cleaning system having one or more modular swing arms for cleaning a flow of pans is provided. The system having a frame with a mounting point for each of the modular swing arms and the swing arm pivots about a pivoting element freely motivated by a swing arm actuator and controlled with a swing arm limiter coupled to one or more controllers. The modular swing arm is positioned by the one or more controllers by activating the swing arm actuator to position and to engage a dirty pan from the flow of pans at a pressure range exerted by the actuator and limited by the swing arm limiter such that the pan is cleaned. On one of the modular swing arms, a cleaning module mounting a staggered set of two or more brush heads is provided in offset rows provides overlap during cleaning to overcome compression issues in the brush heads during movement of the pan. Each of the brush heads also having bristles specifically spaced and angled so that they provide consistent contact without laying over one another when compression does occur. Each of the brush heads also rotating so that the rotational moments of each of the brush heads in the two or more brush heads is offset by the equal or paired rotating brush heads. Finally, the controller is provided so that it can sense numerous conditions in the cleaning process, including things like pan height, pan type, the amount of contaminants on the pan, the size of the pan, how much agitation or pressure to apply to the pan, when the pan is passing the cleaning module, whether a jam may be occurring under the module, and similar variables during the cleaning process.
CARRYOVER TUBE CLEANING MINI-BRUSH
A mini-brush for use in cleaning and clearing obstacles from within a carryover tube in a furnace. The brush having a handle coupled to a first end of a flexible shaft, a guide point coupled to a second end of the flexible shaft, and a plurality of bristles coupled along a length of the flexible shaft, the plurality of bristles having a first side located adjacent to the guide point and extending along the flexible shaft towards the handle. The flexible shaft is a stranded cable wire permitting the guide point and the bristles to navigate a 90 degree corner through a tube
ENDOSCOPE CLEANING DEVICE
An apparatus and method for using an endoscope pre-cleaning and cleaning device. The device includes an elongated and flexible substrate and an abrasive element running along the length of the substrate. The abrasive element extends in an outward direction from the substrate and can have bristles in a continuous line along the substrate. The bristles can be various lengths, thicknesses, materials, and grouped in various densities along the substrate.
SURGICAL INSTRUMENT CLEANING BRUSH ASSEMBLY FOR USE WITH A BORESCOPE
A brush assembly for use with a borescope in cleaning a surgical instrument lumen. The brush assembly includes a shaft, a plurality of bristles or other cleaning materials, and at least one retention clip. The bristles or other cleaning materials extend from the shaft or other cleaning material. The retention clip is assembled to the shaft proximal the bristles. In some embodiments, the retention clip is permanently attached to the shaft. Regardless, the retention clip is configured for selective mounting to a borescope guide tube. Upon mounting to the borescope guide tube, the brush assembly can be deployed to clean a surgical instrument lumen, with the borescope providing a user with visual confirmation of cleaning effective by the bristles.
Reusable straw assembly with housing and cleaning brush
A reusable straw assembly is present herein. In particular, the straw assembly includes at least one, although in some cases, a plurality of cylindrical straws having different diameters, a brush assembly including a brush stem terminating with a brush head at a distal end thereof, and a housing comprising a body and at least one end cap. The brush assembly, and in particular, the brush stem is fixed to the end cap. The brush stem is axially disposed relative to the one or more straws, which are then disposed within the housing. In the case where the assembly includes a plurality of reusable straws, the plurality of reusable straws are disposable in a coaxially nested configuration and retained on the brush assembly until manually released by a user.
AEROSOL GENERATING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING ADAPTIVE FEEDBACK THROUGH PUFF RECOGNITION
Provided is a device including: a battery configured to supply power; a heater configured to heat an aerosol generating material by receiving power from the battery; a sensor; at least one output unit; and a controller, wherein the controller detects a user's puff by using the sensor and controls at least one output unit based on puff characteristic data based on a result of the detection.
Cleaning device for blood vessel sealing apparatus
A cleaner device is adapted to clean a blood vessel sealer device. The cleaner device includes a series of brushes that can move relative to blood vessel sealer device to scrub and clean the blood vessel sealer device when coupled to the cleaner device. The brushes can be made of any material that is adapted to clean the blood vessel sealer device. The cleaner device can also be motorized to facilitate cleaning of the blood vessel sealer device.
Cleaning coke deposits from process equipment
A method for cleaning a coke deposit from an internal surface of a process equipment, comprising removing at least a portion of the coke deposit from the internal surface using a flexible pig comprising a plurality of bristles, without damaging a metal protective layer of the internal surface of the process equipment. A flexible pig for cleaning a coke deposit from an internal surface of a process equipment without damaging a metal protective layer of the internal surface, comprising a flexible body formed of a polymeric material, and a plurality of bristles partially encapsulated by the polymeric material of the flexible body.
Cleaning Tool For Laundry Drying Machine
A cleaning tool for a laundry drying machine includes: a pad member having a first surface and a second surface; a cleaning member attached to the first surface of the pad member; one pair of bolt members vertically coupled to the second surface of the pad member; and one pair of nut members coupled to one pair of bolt members.
