Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of container cleaning, specifically, it relates to a device for cleaning pharmaceutical containers. Background Technology
[0002] Pharmaceutical containers include transfer tanks, silos, dispensing tanks, and mixing tanks. After use, pharmaceutical containers require internal cleaning. Current cleaning methods primarily involve pressurizing water and using a showerhead. The showerhead rotates under water pressure, spraying water evenly onto the upper part of the container. The water then flows over the inner surface of the container by gravity, achieving the cleaning purpose. During cleaning, the showerhead is located at the upper end of the container, relying on the water pressure and spray to clean the inner wall. The water from the showerhead is generally in a jet stream, resulting in relatively low pressure when it reaches the inner wall. Furthermore, pharmaceutical containers are mostly welded structures, and at the weld seams, or where materials are highly viscous and adhere to the inner surface of the container, the water flowing down from the top after the showerhead sprays cannot remove all the material, leading to incomplete cleaning.
[0003] In view of this, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content
