Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0160362A1] A cleaning plant (1) comprises four baths (B1 to B4) and an entry/exit station (2), which are spaced at regular angular intervals (72 DEG ) around a circular path, in the manner of a carousel. A transporter (6) is adapted to transport basket carriers (9) successively through the baths (B1 to B4), and from and to the entry/exit station (2). To this end, a central piston (7), which supports the basket carriers (9), may move up and down and rotate. The baskets (9) carry, for example, machined parts which are cleaned in solvent in the baths (B1 to B4). Drip trays (D1 to D3) are placed between the baths, to catch drips of solvent from the baskets, as they are moved around the plant. At least one of the drip trays (30) has an inclined a portion (31), such that drips of solvent may be returned into one of the baths (B1 to B4), rather than evaporating.
