ABSTRACT:
A washing apparatus designed particularly for washing both sides of an aloe vera leaf. The apparatus comprises a pair of endless conveyor belts, one such pair of conveyor belts adapted to travel first in a horizontal line of travel with a leaf placed thereon. The leaf on the endless conveyor is subjected to a spray of water and simultaneously to a brushing operation to clean one side of the leaf. Following the cleaning of the one side of the leaf, the endless conveyor belt is caused to travel from a horizontal line of travel to a vertical line of travel. When the conveyor belt is caused to travel on a vertical line of travel, the leaf thereon then assumes a position on the belt where the same will be inverted from an edgewise position and to then fall on a second conveyor belt travelling alongside, thus exposing the other side of the leaf. The leaf now travels on said second conveyor belt and the opposite side of the leaf is subjected to a spray of water and simultaneously to the action of a plurality of brushes to thus clean the other side of the leaf.
