Alternatively, dry cleaning can be considered, but either method is prone to scratches due to collisions during agitation, and especially when washing with water, the printed colored coating on the top surface may melt and become thinner, so it is usually not recommended. Much of it is done by hand. If done manually,
It is very troublesome because there are so many tiles, and it is difficult to clean each tile evenly, so some of them cannot be wiped very cleanly. Furthermore, it was not desirable in terms of efficiency.

The conveyance start end 9a of the conveyor belt 9 is swung out to the side.
Published in The rectangular parallelepiped W on the conveyor belt 9 is controlled by the posture control unit 13 to be supine or in a posture along the longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt 9, and is sent to the terminal end. The rectangular parallelepiped W at the end is sucked into the first conveyance path 15 through the intake port 19 by the suction wind. The sucked rectangular parallelepiped W
When passing through the first conveyance path 15, the upper surface W ₃ , the lower surface W ₄ , and both side surfaces W ₅ and W ₆ contact the wiping layer 21, so the contact surfaces W ₃ , W ₄ , W ₅ , and W ₆ Dirt will come off. On the other hand, if the posture of the rectangular parallelepiped W in the first conveyance path 15 is disturbed, at the corner part,
For example, a blockage as shown by the chain line occurs, but at this time, in addition to the main suction air passing through to the second conveyance path 17, a sub suction air is generated by the bypass air passage 29 at the corner area, so that the blockage is not drawn to the corner area. The rectangular parallelepiped W is attracted toward the introduction port 33 and its posture is controlled to be in the state shown by the solid line. As a result, the rectangular parallelepiped W moves within the second conveyance path 17. The front surface W 1 and the rear surface W ₂ of the rectangular parallelepiped W in the second conveyance path 17 which have not been wiped and cleaned in the first conveyance path ₁₅ come into contact with the wiping layer 21, and each surface W ₁ , W ₂ becomes dirty. begins to fall. In this case, in the second conveyance path 17, the upper surface W ₃ and lower surface W ₄ of the rectangular parallelepiped W are subjected to the wiping action twice, and all hexagons are cleaned. below,
The cleaned rectangular parallelepiped W falls from the terminal end into the collection case 39 via the duct 37 and is collected.
