Definitions

• the invention relate to an integrated cleaning-system especially for rotating drying drums as similar system of drums with contents, which has to be wanted rolled and in the same time worked as an example dryed, and where the shell of the drum system can be perforated, but also especially the surfaces of the drums -as the containers, which have a smooth and an unbroken surface.
• Hithertho has there by the systems of drying drums as an example by pill drying, where every single pill in the operation of the working just have been coated with a flowend and soft surface or membrane of sugar, only been used manual after cleaning of the inside of the surface of the container, as one has used cleaning liquid together with flushing and manual scraping off. This procedure has been very time demanding. And by perforating drums, then one have often had the problems to clean the holes of the perforating enough, by which a later drying of the next shift of pills have to be depreciated according to the capacity as the quality.
• the purpose with the present invention is automatical and integrated by drum rotation to be able to clean the drying drum both on the internal surface, but not less in every single hole of perforation, without manually help and by utilization of integrated sonar-sound working under sweeping with liquid of the periphery of the drying drum.
• the purpose is also as alternative model of solution continuity to be able to clean the perforated shell of the drying/coating drum, in the same time with that one in same unit dry the worked subjects.
• the working way of the invention can be descriped as an intergrated and continuous periodic working liquid-and ultra-sound cleaning of a passing and sweeped perforated shell of cylinder. As this continuous is forced guided past and through the system of ultra-sound.
• the perforated wall of the cylinder has its purpose primary to be able to work as air through flowing carrying medium. This has especially been made as a drum or a container there under a drying procedure has been brougth to rotation, by which both the insert material has to be sweeped all over according to the drying air, and in the same time with that the material of surplus, which often is fluid, automatical has been thrown out to the peri ⁇ phery of the rotating cylinder. After which the waste subsequently can be cleaned automatical from the wall of the container.
• the cleaning system placed generally on and at the whole lenght of the drum or the lenght of the shell of the cylinder, and especial ⁇ ly at the horizontal laying drums at the deepest laying lenght of the outer of the drum. But dependent on the type of the construction Var on the inner of the shell.
• the cleaning system can be combinated and be placed in a liquid sump under the drum, but still so that the sump with liquid especially cleaning liquid can encased the lower part of the drum.
• the cleaning be made with especially rotating drum, where the cleaning arrangement with ultra-sonic heads as the liquid in combination will accelerated the cleaning essential.
• the integrated system also be used under that for the drum normally working procedure by that there internal in the drum is placed a movable propely bottom, which esepcially by the rotation of the drum has the same direction of movement and speed as the internal surface of the drum. And where the propely upper of the bottom is laying a piece over the level of the cleaning liquid.
• the movable propely bottom in section be limit from the drying air of primary drum, in the same time with that the underside of the startery system of the bottom continuous can have contact with the cleaning liquid and through here permanent has been sweeped of the effect of the ultra ⁇ sound of the sonar-heads.

• Fig.2 shows in front section a rotating drying drum with sump and ultra-sound heads,-
• Fig.3 shows in front section a rotating drying drum with sump and ultra-sound head, and a propeller movable integrated inserted bottom,-
• Fig.4 shows in section a detail around a coated perforated hole in the shell of the drum,-
• Fig.5 shows in front section a drying drum with inserted and integrated movable propely bottom, and where the sonar-cleaning system is integrated internal and pointing outwards against the inner side of the shell of the drum, and
• Fig.6 shows in front section a drying drum, where the sonar-cleaning system also premiy in the same time with the internal side of the shell of the drum clean the inserted propely bottom.
• Fig.l shows in perspective a horizontale laying rotating drying drum (1), with an integrated cleaning system (3 and 4), where the drum (1) or the shell of the cylinder (1) especially is perforated (2) for air-passage (6' ), and where there in the sump (4) or in the centre of gravity for this arrangment (1, 3 and 4) is placed a row displaced, but still in continuous extension of each other placed ulta-sound heads (3 and 3').
• the sonar heads (3) shall work, then shall the sump (4) be filled with liquid (5) often cleaning fluid (5).
• the sonar heads shall work, then shall the sump (4) be filled with liquid (5) often cleaning fluid (5).
• Fig.2 shows in front section a rotating drying drum (1) with sump (4) and ultra sound sonar heads (3 and 3' ), as the sonar heads (3) here are placed for external working on the rotating shell (1) of the cylinder in movement, and where the sonar heads (3) are surrounded of cleaning fluid (5) in combination with that the shell (1) of the cylinder continuous under the period of cleaning are guided down down into the sump (4) and the cleaning fluid (5).
• Fig.3 shows in front section a rotating drying drum (1) with sump (4) and ultra sound sonar heads (3 and 3' ), and a secondary movable and intergrated insert bottom (7).
• the main bottom (7) under the normally working procedure of the drum has to be brought to move in same direction as the internal shell (1' ) of the cylinder.
• the secondary bottom (7) sheeld (8) so that the cleaning fluid (5) from the sump
• Fig.4 shows in section detail around a covered (10) hole (2) of perforation in the shell (1) of the cylinder, and how the ultra -sound (3*) via the effect-front (3) of the sonar-head influence the internal (1' ) edge of the hole of the perforation (2) in the same time with that the internal side (1' ) of the shell of the cylinder (1) also is affected of ulta-sound and the liquid (5).
• Fig.5 shows in front section a drying drum (1) with inserted and integrated movable secondary bottom (7), and where the sonar-cleaning system (3 and 3') is integrated internal and upwards pointing against sweeping of the internal side of the shell of the cylinder (1' ), as the leadery conveyor-belt (7) with sonar-heads (3 and3' ) ideal can be fitted together as an unit (3 and 7) there is inserted in a drum (1) with open bottom or top.
• the cylinders (1) which use the present invention can for that matter exist of an open cone drum (1), which known from butter manufacturing, as this construction in a sloping position under turning and working just obtain that the material (10) do not fall out, in the same time with, that one easy can come to the room of the cylinder d').
• Fig.6 shows in front section a working cylinder (1), where the soanr system (3 and 3' ) also premiy in the same time with the internal side (1' ) of the shell (1) of the drum clean the inserted propely bottom (7), as the arrangement of the sonar heads (3 and 3' ) is placed ideal on the inside (7' ) of the propely bottom (7), pointing out against the inside (l 1 ) of the shell (1) of the cylinder.
• the lower part of the startery bottom (7) shall then be diped in cleaning fluid (5) together with that the also liqiud encased (5) sonar-heads (3 and 3') shall be able to be activated.
• the construction will of course here also worke, if one placed the sonar-heads (3 and 3' ) outher for the primary cylinder (1), but pointing against the shell of the cylinder (1), as the liquid encased (5) lower part of the propely bottom (7).
