ABSTRACT:
A wash station for receiving, clamping, inverting, and washing a tank and pallet assembly consists of a stationary frame having a pair of idler rollers and a pair of drive rollers, and a rotatable carriage mounted on the rollers. The carriage includes two separate vertical arcuate wheel members resting on the rollers, a transverse tank support platform extending transversely between the wheel members, transverse support struts, horizontal and vertical wheel support members, and a movable hold down clamp with an integral nozzle assembly. The hold down clamp and nozzle assembly is movable to a clamped position engaging a tank and pallet assembly resting on the support platform. When the assembly is clamped, spray nozzles are inserted within the tank. The carriage containing the tanks to be washed is then rotated 180.degree., inverting the tanks. Wash fluid is then supplied via the spray nozzles into the interior of the tanks. At the completion of a washing operation, the carriage position is reversed and the tank's assembly unclamped, thus allowing the removal of the clean tank and pallet assembly from the carriage.
