MACHINE FOR ARTICLE WASHING Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: washing machine has washing chamber, stepping conveyer made in the form of movable and stationary members disposed in pairs, with their upper plane being made at angle to horizontal plane, splitter mounted in washing chamber at the level of upper plane of movable members of charging-discharging mechanism, limiter disposed on both sides of conveyer along its whole length. In this case stationary and movable members of stepping conveyer are made of flexible material. Stationary members of stepping conveyer are made with internal channels for liquid feed to surface of movable members. Movable members of charging-discharging mechanism are mounted with a stroke exceeding that of movable members of stepping conveyer. The machine is used for washing precision articles of ball-bearing ball type. EFFECT: enhanced quality of cleaning ball-bearing balls of different standard sizes on one washing plant, enhanced manufacturing capabilities of washing equipment. 4 cl, 4 dwg
