A DEVICE FOR WASHING, RINSING AND DRYING OBJECTS, SUCH AS CATERING CARTS, FOR USE ON BOARD AIRCRAFT

摘要

For washing, flushing and drying objects, such as catering carts (23, 24), for use when transporting meals to and from a kitchen to an aircraft, the catering carts are placed inside a cage (4) which is arranged in a washer, in which washing and drying take place during centrifugation. For centrifugation to take place at the greatest possible speed with the greatest possible safety, the catering carts are placed in a cage (4) which is preferably box-shaped. The cage is centrifuged together with the carts. The washer has two doors (2, 3), one door being used for filling the washer with soiled catering carts, the other door being used for taking cleaned carts out of the machine, which ensures high efficiency, as the machine can be in almost continuous operation. During flushing in the washer, vertically arranged washing nozzles (6) move in a horizontal plane so that these operate in synchronism with the rotary movement. The invention thus provides a washer which operates quickly and effectively and observes strict safety and cleaning requirements.
