Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cleaning device having the features of claim 1 and a method for cleaning items to be cleaned having the features of claim 11.
  • Such cleaning devices and methods can be used in the field of dishwashing technology, particularly in commercial kitchens and communal catering facilities.
  • the invention is used in hood-type dishwashers or pass-through dishwashers.

However, this also changes the torque transmitted by the third traction means 172 to the shaft 164, since this torque depends on the angular position of the sprocket 170.
