Solid products to which dirt adheres are cleaned by introducing them into a container filled with water, mechanically transporting the products through the container to form in the container a suspension of sludge in the water, the sludge comprising dirt which has been removed from the products, the sludge having a specific mass that approaches the specific mass of water. A stream of finely divided air bubbles is fed through the sludge suspension in the container thereby to lower the specific mass of the water and to cause sludge to move by gravity toward a lower section of the container. Sludge-enriched water is removed from that lower section of the container. The products are mechanically transported by a conveyor into and through and out of the container after dirt has been removed therefrom. |
