  • By opening one Hahns 39 can now the cleaning chamber 4 and Rinsing chamber 19 supplied with disinfectant liquid become.
  • FIG 3 shows a side view, from which it is clear that the tub 3 to is inclined towards the side where the drainage channel is 29 and the drain 30 is located.
  • the knives directly at the workplace into the out of the cleaning device 1 taken cleaning chamber 4 hung.
  • the handle of the knife 10 lies on the cutlery holder 9, while the cutlery guide 8 a ensures safe guidance of the knife, so that z. B. do not touch the knives can.
  • the cover 11 is placed on the wall 5 set and the handle 12 folded up so that the locking mechanism 15 the reinforcement 18 of the Rise pipe 16 engages behind.
  • the cleaning chamber 4 in a simple way to the cleaning device 1 can be worn, even during transport many knives pose a risk of injury to that Operating personnel is excluded.
  • the cleaning chamber 4 is now in the rinsing chamber 19th used, which are already arranged on the tub 3 is. Before the lid 39 of the washing chamber is closed can also be used in slaughterhouses Metal glove on the rinse arm 23 be hung so that the fingers of the metal glove face down and the rinsing liquids be injected into the glove so that the Metal glove is cleaned from the inside out.
  • the Tap 39 opened to the knife in the cleaning chamber 4 disinfect.
  • the pressurized Disinfectant liquid rises in the riser pipe 16 and is in the cleaning chamber via the spray nozzles 17 4 and thus ensures wetting of the Knife 10 with the liquid and thus disinfection the same.
  • the disinfectant liquid also rises in the second riser pipe 21 and is via the rinse arm 23 within the rinse chamber 19th sprayed, so that the cleaning chamber 4 of disinfected outside. If a metal glove was hung over the flush arm 23, goes without saying also disinfected with.
  • the running rinsing or disinfectant liquid runs within the cleaning chamber 4 through the drain openings 7 in the tub 3 and due to the Inclination of the tub 3, the waste water flows through the drainage channel 29 in the sequence 30 and can accordingly to be disposed of.
  • the no longer needed Liquids from the rinsing chamber also flow via the gutter 29 and the drain 30.
