Description

Cleaning apparatus for beer lines o. The like. The invention relates on a cleaning device for beer lines and the like with two of the recording a solid abrasive serving containers as well as with a multi-way tap and the necessary connections, which allow a washing liquid with the Abrasive in alternating directions through a container that is to be cleaned Line and the other container to lead, which = containing the impurities Drain the washing liquid and retain the abrasive in the containers. Known devices of this type have the disadvantage that a rinse with pure Washing liquid is only possible in one direction, since the direction of flow is reversed the solid abrasive would get back into the pipe to be cleaned and in it could be left behind.

This disadvantage can be remedied by removing the chick and the Housing of said tap is provided with additional channels, which allow the washing liquid also by switching off the container in both directions to lead the line to be cleaned.

For the purpose of explanation, the new apparatus should be described using the drawing will.

Fig. I shows the apparatus in a front view, partly in section. Fig.2 is a horizontal section along the line II-II in Fig. I.

Fig.3 is part of the vertical section along the line III-III in Fig. i.

Fig.q., 5, 6, 7 and 8 are cross-sections along the lines IV-IV, V-V, VI-VI, VII-VII or VIII-VIII in Fig. 3.

The apparatus consists of a lower part i o, an upper part i and i a cover 12. The lower part io contains a connection piece at the rear 13 for pure water, on the front a connection piece 1 ¢ for the waste water and two connecting pieces 15, 16 for the two ends of the line to be cleaned. The connections between the apparatus and the lines in question can can be produced by means of hoses. The lower part io also forms the housing for the straw chick 17, which with a hand lever movable over a sector 18 ig is provided. The channels - in the straw plug 17 and those in the housing of the same Channels should be discussed in more detail in the description of the mode of operation of the apparatus will.

The upper part i i contains two relatively large glass containers 20, -21, which on the bottom side are each connected to a channel in the housing io and to the top each by means of a sieve plate 22 fastened in the cover 12 are. Between these Containers. stand at the front and the rear two glass cylinders 23, z4 and 25, 26, which are also each with a channel in the housing have an OK connection.

The cover 12 contains three connecting channels 27, 28, 29, making connections between the container 20 and the cylinder 23, between the container 21 and the cylinder 24 or between the cylinder 25 and 26 are produced.

Let us now describe what happens when the apparatus is on the manner described is switched on, the lever i 9 the drawn position a e'unnini, nt, Tap water enters at 13 and the container 21 contains a sufficient amount of sand.

The water flows through the nozzle 13 and the housing channel 30 (Fig. 3 and 4), the plug channels 31, 32, the housing channel 33, the glass cylinder 24 (Fig. 2), the cover channel 28, the container 21, the housing channel '34 (Fig.6), the plug channel 35, the housing channel 37, the nozzle 15 (Fig. I) irr the line to be cleaned. The sand is entrained and enters with the water through the nozzle 16, the housing channel 36 (Fig. 6), plug channel 38 and housing channel 39 in the container 2o (Fig. 2). here the sand is retained by the sieve plate 22, while the water with the Contamination through the cover channel 27, glass cylinder 23, housing channel 40 (Fig. 4), plug channel 41 (Fig. 5), plug channel 42, housing channel 43 and nozzle 14 are discharged will.

After a while, the lever will move to position b (Fig. I) and. in order to the Hähüküken rotated about 90 ° counter-clockwise. The water out the water pipe is now flowing from. the nozzle 13 (Fig. -3 and 4) through the housing duct 3o, plug channels 44, 32, housing channel 40, cylinder 23 (Fig. Ä) and cover channel 27 into the # Br-container 2o. It takes the saud located here with it - and then flows through it Housing duct 39 (Fig. 6), plug duct .45, housing duct 37 and socket 16 (Fig. i) .in the line to be cleaned,.-to through the connection piece r5, the housing duct 36 (Fig. 6), plug channel 38 and housing channel 34. to flow into the container 21 (Fig.2). Here the sand is again held back by the sieve plate 22 while. that polluted Water through the cover channel 28, cylinder -24, housing channel 33 (Fig. 4), plug channels 46, 47 (Fig. 5), housing channel 43 and nozzle 14.

It is evident that in position-b of the lever icj the sand-bearing Water flows through the »pipe to be cleaned in the opposite direction as in the case of the Lever position a.

This action is repeated a few times until through the glass cylinder 23, 24 pure water flows and the pipe therefore no longer contains any impurities.

Then you rinse with pure water to remove any sand remaining in the pipe. To do this, the lever is set to position c (Fig. I), whereby the water flowing in at 13 (Fig. 3) makes its way i through the housing duct r3o (Fig. 4). Plug channels 48, 49, 50 (Fig. 7), housing channel 51, connection piece 16 (Fig. I), the line to be cleaned, connection piece 15, housing channel 52 (.Fig. 8), plug channel 53, housing channel 54, cylinder 26 (Fig. 2), cover channel 29, cylinder -25, housing channel 5.5 (Fig. 8), plug channel 56, housing channel 57 and discharge nozzle 14 .

'To rinse the line in the opposite direction, put the Lever i 9 to position d, whereby the water entering at 13 (Fig. 3) through the housing channel 3o (Fig.4), plug channels 58, 49, 59 (Fig.7), housing channel 6o, nozzle 15 (Fig. I), the pipe to be cleaned, nozzle 16, housing duct 61 (Fig: 8), plug duct 62, housing channel -5-5, glass cylinder 25 (Fig.2), cover channel 129, glass cylinder 26, Housing channel 54 (Figure 8), plug channel 56, housing channel 577 and connector 14 flows off.

= Thereby,. that the @ vessels -2o, -21, -23, z4, 25 and 26 = glass walls you can always immediately convince yourself of the effectiveness of the device.
