Abstract (en)

Method of pickling and/or passivating at least an inside of a container, comprising: holding the container by a manipulator; arranging a pickling and/or passivation liquid inside the container; manipulating the container along a pre-determined trajectory, thereby successively distributing the liquid inside said container and draining the liquid out of said container, wherein the step of arranging the liquid inside the container comprises at least partly submerging said container in a bath containing said liquid; and wherein the step of manipulating the container in the pre-determined trajectory is preceded by determining said trajectory in dependence of the position of at least one opening in one or more than one wall of said container, wherein said at least one opening is selected for allowing a fluid to leave said container.The invention further relates to a manipulator of or for such a method of pickling and/or passivating at least an inside of a container.
