ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to improvements to a Figal Washer System. A Figal Washer System is a system for washing Figal five gallon syrup containers utilized in the beverage dispensing art. The improvements to the Figal Washer System of the present invention are directed to improving the production efficiency, the Figal discharge, and the time required for routine and scheduled maintenance on the Figal washing system. The modifications which are considered to contribute to the overall machine operation are directed to improvements relating to production efficiency, which include rail and carriage modifications. A rail is installed inside the washer, beginning just beyond the loading station, for providing jam protection. The figal container carriage has been modified to ensure that the Figal's remain in the carriages between the loading station and the first rinse station, two spring wheels are added. A loading guide has been added to the carriage for improving the rigidity of the carriage and for guiding the loading of the Figal's into the carriage. The two spring loaded nozzles on the carriage are fastened to a single new plate, replacing the two separate plates as previously used. To provide easier loading, the single topwheel is replaced by two independently sprung top mounted wheels. Improvements relating to the discharge include a new discharge mechanism include a front flange mounted cylinder bolted inside a sheet metal cover with a rod protruding through the cover. Improvements relating to machine maintenance include new carriage bearings, a transfer valve retracting mechanism, and a rotary actuator.
