An apparatus for removing large particles from a vessel The apparatus includes a vacuum storage container and a suction hose extending from the vacuum storage container. The vacuum storage container includes a material receiving section, a grinding pump and a disposal line. The material receiving section receives the large particles from the suction hose. The grinding pump is positioned in the material receiving section for pulverizing the large particles received in the material receiving section. The disposal line extends from the grinding pump through the vacuum storage container to remove the pulverized material from the grinding pump and the vacuum storage container.

A cleaning tray is provided for docking an extraction cleaner, including upright or robot extraction cleaners, for self-cleaning. The cleaning tray may include one or more sprayers for spraying a cleaning fluid toward a suction nozzle, brush chamber, and/or agitator of the extraction cleaner. Systems for self-cleaning extraction cleaners are also provided.

Systems and method for self-cleaning extraction cleaners, including upright or robot extraction cleaner are provided. In one system, a tray can be provided for docking the extraction cleaner during the self-cleaning mode. The tray may include one or more sprayers for spraying a cleaning fluid toward an agitator of the extraction cleaner. In another system, a nozzle flushing manifold mounted on the nozzle assembly of the extraction cleaner includes a plurality of distributor outlets configured to spray cleaning fluid into the suction pathway.

A system includes a vertical frame portion, a horizontal frame portion connected to the vertical frame portion, a motor connected to the vertical frame portion above the horizontal frame portion and including a shaft extending outwardly from the vertical frame portion, and a container having first and second end surfaces, a meshed wall surface extending between the first and second end surfaces, and a lid located on one of the meshed wall surface, the first end surface, and the second end surface. At least one of the first and second end surfaces is removably connected to the shaft. The motor rotates the container relative to the vertical frame portion and the horizontal frame portion. The horizontal frame portion includes a tubular portion including a slit and first and second panels sloping towards the slit to direct material falling from the meshed wall surface of the container towards the slit.

A cleaner for cleaning grippers for the transport of ophthalmic lenses comprises: an exhaust air box comprising at least one inlet opening for allowing ambient air as well as lenses, lens parts, debris and fluid adhered to the grippers to be sucked into an interior of the exhaust air box, an outlet opening in fluid communication with the interior of the exhaust air box and a cleaner head arranged on the exhaust air box and comprising a plurality of receiver sleeves for receiving the grippers to be cleaned, a plurality of shutters, wherein each individual shutter of the plurality of shutters is arranged to open or close the fluid communication of at least one receiver sleeve (5) of the plurality of receiver sleeves (5) and the interior of the exhaust air box (1).

A pest control device and method and kit for pest control. The pest control includes a main body having a curved shape configured to extend partially or completely around a body of a person, a hose, a collection container operably connected to the hose, and a vacuum mechanism containing a motor. The vacuum mechanism is operably connected to the collection container and the hose. The pest control device also includes a battery operably connected to the vacuum mechanism. The method for pest control includes providing the pest control device, arranging the main body around the body of the person, and activating the vacuum mechanism to suction pests via the hose into the collection container. The kit for pest control includes a main body having a curved shape configured to extend partially or completely around a body of a person, a hose, a collection container, a vacuum mechanism containing a motor, a battery, and a plurality of implements.

Systems and methods for self-cleaning an extraction cleaner are provided. The extraction cleaner includes a suction nozzle defining a suction pathway, a fluid distributor configured to dispense cleaning fluid to a surface to be cleaned, and a nozzle flushing manifold configured to spray cleaning fluid into the suction pathway of the suction nozzle.
