Abstract (en)

Method for both emptying and washing refuse containers (3) in, or respectively on, the same crushing device, such as a refuse truck (1). As a result of the fact that the loading cycle and the cleaning take place after one another, the required power can be delivered by a single motor; extra motor power is not necessary. The washing device used contains one or more (rotating) spray heads (11) for washing liquid, such as water, which can be turned away in a relatively narrow part of the space to which the refuse opening (6) provides access. For this purpose the head is located at the end of one of two arms (12,14), which can move in a shearing manner with regard to one another, controlled with the aid of a steel cable between the frame of the device (the truck) and the arm on which the head is located, for an adjusted length with adjusted fixation points. <IMAGE>
