Benefits of technology
"The present invention is a closed-loop washing system that is capable of removing high solids contaminants from an object while maintaining the run-off washing fluid for reuse in the system. The system includes a support platform for supporting the object while the washing fluid flows over it. A collection device collects the run-off fluid and high solids contaminants from the support surface. A clarifying reservoir stores the run-off fluid for reuse back in the system. The system also includes a separation assembly that separates the high solids contaminants from the run-off fluid and a discarding station for disposing of the separated contaminants. The system can be used for high-solids removal, which is often needed in industrial cleaning applications."
Problems solved by technology
As mentioned, conventional closed-loop washing systems are not capable of such high-solids removal, and often overwhelm the capacity thereof.

Embodiment Construction
[0028] While the present invention will be described with reference to a few specific embodiments, the description is illustrative of the invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention. Various modifications to the present invention can be made to the preferred embodiments by those skilled in the art without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. It will be noted here that for a better understanding, like components are designated by like reference numerals throughout the various figures.
[0029] Attention is now directed to FIGS. 1-3, where a closed-loop pressure washing system, generally designated 20, is provided for removal and recovery of high solids contaminants from an object to be cleaned. The washing system includes a support platform 21 having a support surface 22 adapted to support the object while a washing fluid is flowed over the object to remove the high solids contaminant therefrom. A collection dev...

Abstract
A closed-loop pressure washing system adapted for removal and recovery of high solids contaminants from an object. The washing system includes a support platform having a support surface that supports the object while a washing fluid is flowed over the object to remove the high solids contaminant. A collection device is provided in flow communication with the support surface, and is adapted to collect and channel the run-off washing fluid and run-off high solids contaminant from the support surface towards a collection basin. A high solids separation assembly is in flow communication with the collection basin, and is adapted to separate and displace the collected high solid contaminants from the collected run-off fluids in the collection basin to a discard region spaced-apart from the collection basin. This separation assembly, however, substantially maintains the run-off washing fluid in the collection basin. The washing system further includes a clarifying reservoir in flow communication with the collection basin, and is configured to hold the run-off fluid therein for reuse back to the washing system.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of Invention [0002] The present invention relates generally to pressure washer apparatus, and more particularly, to methods and apparatus for separating and containing higher and lower-density from contaminated washing fluids for use in the pressure washing system. [0003] 2. Description of the Relevant Art [0004] Contamination of the environment by man-made substances has been considered a serious world-wide problem. Recently, concern about contamination of earth, air, and groundwater by oil, toxic chemicals, and other hazardous wastes has expanded beyond large-scale industry to encompass the activities of many small businesses including automobile service stations, and many others. Both government regulations and social outcry have placed tremendous pressure on these businesses to avoid discharging hazardous wastes into the environment in the course of ordinary business activities. [0005] Many businesses partake in activities which are li...
