ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for cleaning particulate matter from container bodies. Container bodies are conveyed, open end down, along a corridor formed by two parallel pressurized fluid curtains. The container bodies pass over a series of nozzles which subject the interior of the containers to blasts of ionized gas. The ionized gas neutralizes any electrostatic charges and expells the particulate matter from the container. The curtaining sweeps the expelled particles into a spray mist region where they are entrained and subsequently condensed into a waste stream for disposal. The apparatus features a tunnel which substantially separates the fluid curtaining from the spray mist region. An outer housing enclosing the spray mist region is fabricated of transparent plastic to permit visual monitoring.
