  • the suction lines open into the respective tanks at the top.
  • Each tank is preferably arranged at such a height that the cleaning liquids can flow by gravity into the washing cubicle.
  • the outlet opening, from which the associated line leads to the washing cubicle, is preferably located in the middle of the floor.
  • the supply line, through which the cleaning liquid flows by gravity into the washing cubicle, preferably flows approximately halfway into the washing cubicle, namely through a side wall.
  • each tank may also be connected by a conduit with washing nozzles in the upper part of the washing cubicle, in which duct a pump may be inserted which produces the necessary pressure with which the liquid from the nozzles is sprayed onto the parts.
  • This line can branch off from the gravity line, for which purpose an electric or pneumatic multi-way valve can be inserted in the gravity line. From this valve, according to a further proposal of the invention, a bypass line is also provided, through which the cleaning liquid in the associated tank is circulated by means of a bypass pump through a bypass filter and then back into the tank in order to free the cleaning fluid from foreign matter.
  • bypass line From the bypass filter unit leads the bypass line through a side wall of the tank, which has the shape of a circular cylinder, to a circularly extending in the tank tube from which the returned cleaning liquid emerges in the tangential direction, so that the cleaning liquid is placed in the tank in a circular motion.
  • the particles of dirt migrate toward the center of the tank, where they accumulate above the central outlet at the bottom. In this way, the cleaning liquid of each tank is effectively cleaned and it is largely prevented that settle dirt particles on the circular cylindrical inner walls of the tanks.
  • the dirty water tank is located at a lower level than the cleaning tanks, so that the used cleaning liquids can drain by gravity into the dirty water tank.
  • a preferably manually operated valve is opened under the bottom of the respective tank.
  • a basket accommodating the parts to be cleaned is arranged in the washing cubicle, which can be positioned either in an upper area of the washing cubicle, in the washing nozzles on the basket, or in a lower area, depending on the cleaning program the basket is immersed in cleaning fluids.

  • the lower area of the washing cubicle can be flooded, so that the wheel with the parts basket is immersed in the cleaning liquid.
  • the Rhönrad is here Preferably connected to a piston / cylinder unit that can move the Rhönrad with the wash basket vertically in the washing cubicle, both between the two cleaning positions and in the immersed state, wherein also under the wheel a Verdrängerplatte is attached, which together with the Rhönrad and the parts basket in the cleaning bath can be moved up and down.
  • an ultrasound treatment can additionally take place, for which purpose an ultrasound unit is provided laterally at the lower area of the washing cabin.
  • the cleaning liquid is conveyed in the manner described above through the suction line into the associated tank.
  • the cleaned parts can be dried quickly by supplying compressed air to an air nozzle system, wherein the air nozzle system is connected by a line to the pressure side of a fan. At the same time, air can be sucked out of the upper area of the washing cabin through a line which is connected to the negative pressure side of the same fan or to another fan. In this way, the cleaned parts can be dried very quickly.
  • the washing cabin is expediently cleaned after each cleaning program for the parts themselves with a rinsing liquid.
  • a rinsing tank is arranged, from which a rinsing pump supplies rinsing liquid to a nozzle system for internal cleaning of the washing cabin.
  • the rinsing liquid is then sucked back through a suction line, starting from the lowest point of the bottom of the washing cubicle, in a dirty rinse tank, the upper portion is connected by a line to the negative pressure side of a fan.
  • the dirty rinse tank is hermetically sealed.
  • the contents of the Schmutz Hughestanks can drain after completion of the extraction process by another line in the deeper level recovery tank, which is ventilated.
  • the cleaning liquid of each tank can flow by gravity into the lower-level washing cubicle alone. If this process is to be accelerated, compressed air generated by a fan can be introduced at the top of the tank, whereby the flow of the cleaning liquid is accelerated into the washing cabin.
  • the washing system With the washing system according to the invention different types of cleaning can be carried out with a freely selectable number of tanks, in which the cleaning fluids used can not mix.
  • the wash booth offers the respective type of contamination and the respective degree of contamination corresponding effects of the cleaning liquid used in each case on the parts to be cleaned, so that the washer can be referred to as a universal device whose individual cleaning operations can run automatically.
