ABSTRACT:
A cargo container wall and top lid washing machine has multiple rotating cylindrical sweeper brushes which are hydraulically rotated by detergent-water solution pumped throughout one or more water turbines, powered by electric motors, and water pumps. The multiple rotating sweeper brushes are planarly do-disposed and secured in a planar frame means, providing simultaneous scrubbing of the inside and outside walls of the multiple container lids and the inside and outside walls of the cargp container. The multiple rotating sweeper brushes can be simultaneously lowered around the set of open lids and into and outside of the cargo container walls. Multiple throttle valves control the flow rate of detergent cleaning solution to each cylindrical brush, the brushes being rotated by centrifugal rotating water turbine motors, whose hollow central shafts are extended to bearing journals disposed in paired, opposed, pivoted long, hollow tubular support mounts. The hollow control sweeper shafts are externally tufted with fiber tufts to provide a cylindrical brush, and are additionally provided with apertures along the shafts for flow of detergent solution. A rigid frame support means is permanently positioned and secured above on support columns. The rigid overhead frame means has sufficient free space below the frame means to freely contain the cargo container with cable supported upraised lids, and to contain the cable supported sweeper brushes and their cooperating operating brush structure.
