First, a cleaning agent is added to the storage tank. Then, the heating rod heats the cleaning agent to a suitable temperature, softening high-viscosity ink. The liquid supply mechanism then delivers the cleaning agent from the storage tank to the hollow tube. Finally, the spraying mechanism evenly sprays the cleaning agent onto the inner wall of the ink can, ensuring uniform coverage of the inner wall and effectively cleaning residual ink. This reduces cleaning dead zones, improves dissolution efficiency, shortens the cleaning cycle, and enhances the device's practicality. Furthermore, the combined use of heating, pumping, and spraying makes this device superior to traditional manual or single high-pressure water cleaning methods in terms of efficiency, environmental friendliness, and safety, making it suitable for the rapid cleaning needs of small and medium-sized ink cans.
