ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for cleaning a container having a top, an opening in the top, bottom, sides and a longitudinal axis comprises a sprayhead for spraying cleaning solution inside the container and being translatably moveable along the container longitudinal axis and rotatably moveable about the container longitudinal axis. The sprayhead has a pair of spray nozzle orifices opposing and crossing one another and being aimed downwardly into the container. Respective solution streams exiting the pair of nozzle orifices cross and clean the bottom of the container completely to its center. An alternative form of cleaning apparatus for cleaning a container having a fixed agitator comprises a sprayhead for spraying cleaning solution having a pair of nozzle orifices oppositely directed to one another and being aimed toward the sides of the container and defining an axis offset from the sprayhead longitudinal axis. Respective solution streams exiting the pair of nozzle orifices clean the side of the container behind the fixed agitator.
