The present disclosure may provide a cleaning apparatus for cleaning parts. The cleaning apparatus may comprise a housing defining a washing chamber having an opening through which parts may be loaded/unloaded into the washing chamber. The cleaning apparatus may also comprise a spray system adapted to direct a washing solution to clean the part in the washing chamber. The spray system may comprise a spray array with at least one rotatable spray head. The spray head may comprise a plurality of nozzles through which the washing solution is directed to clean the part in the washing chamber. The cleaning apparatus may also comprise a closure which may provide controlled access to the washing chamber through the opening and may be movable between a closed position to sealingly close the opening and an open position so as to allow for loading and unloading of parts into the washing chamber without obstruction.

Containing device for a treatment machine for loose products, provided internally with a treatment compartment that has at least an open side for loading the loose products to be treated, and for unloading the loose products that have been treated; the containing device comprises at least a first loading door for the loose products to be treated, positioned on a first portion of said open side and associated with at least a respective opening and closing unit, and at least a second unloading door for the loose products that have been treated, positioned on a second portion of said open side and associated with at least a respective opening and closing unit.

An apparatus for cleaning false lashes for includes a body having upper and lower supports, each including a plurality of apertures, that are movable relative to one another between open and closed positions, the open position providing access to an inner surface of the lower support, and the closed position substantially abuts the upper and lower supports against one other, and an arcuate locator on an inner surface of the lower support that positions a strip of a false lash such that strands of the false lash extend across at least one aperture. The false lash is secured between the upper and lower supports in the closed position. Running fluid through the apertures of the upper and lower supports allows the fluid to run through the strands of the false lash. A system and methods of cleaning false lashes is also disclosed.

A cleaning basket (120) for cleaning a breathing apparatus (112) is proposed. The cleaning basket (120) comprises at least one basket rack (140). Furthermore, the cleaning basket (120) comprises at least one mask holder (122) for holding at least one protective breathing mask (114) in the cleaning basket (120). Furthermore, the cleaning basket (120) comprises at least one suction element (156) which has at least one suction opening (160) and is configured to extend into the protective breathing mask (114) held by the mask holder (122). The suction element (156) is configured to be charged with negative pressure and to suck cleaning fluid out of at least one interior space (148) of the protective breathing mask (114) into the suction opening (160). Furthermore, a cleaning system (110) with the cleaning basket (120) and a cleaning device (118), and a method for cleaning the breathing apparatus (112) are proposed.

A cleaning basket (114), a cleaning device (116), a cleaning system (110) and a method for cleaning breathing apparatus (112) are proposed. The cleaning basket (114) comprises at least one basket rack (118), and the cleaning basket (114) further comprises at least one pressure attachment (120) connectable to at least one gas-conveying element (113) of the breathing apparatus (112), wherein the gas-conveying element (113) can have pressurized gas applied to it at least while the breathing apparatus (112) is subjected to at least one cleaning fluid (122), wherein the cleaning basket (114) has at least one pressure sensor (124), wherein the pressure sensor (124) is configured to detect when pressure is applied to the pressure attachment (120), wherein the cleaning basket (114) furthermore has at least one transmission device (126) for transmitting at least one result of the pressure application detection to a cleaning device (116).

A roller-type applicator cleaning apparatus includes a lid, a housing, a water inlet valve, a base, a plurality of radial openings, and a central axis. The base includes a platform and an applicator holder. The lid, the housing, and the base are concentrically positioned along the central axis.
