A washing and cleaning system on a packing machine (1) of the type which manufactures filled packing containers from prefabricated container cases and which within a substantially wholly closed machine housing (6) comprises a bottom-forming station (2) a filling station (3), a top-forming station (4) and a driven chain or band conveyor (5) for transporting the cases between and through the said machine stations. The system comprises a slide (17) movable to and fro along a guide bar (16) which carries a number of freely adjustable nozzles (18) connected to one or more vessels containing fluids necessary for the washing and cleaning. The nozzles (18), moreover, are adjusted and distributed so that at least the bulk of all the machine components and spaces within the machine housing (6) as well as the inside of this housing are accessible to the fluid issuing through the nozzles (18) during the reciprocating movement of the slide (17) along the guide bar (16). The system, furthermore, comprises supplementary nozzles (26 and 28,29 respectively), firmly mounted at the conveyor (5) and in conjunction with the bottom-forming station (2) which likewise are connected, or connectable, to the said fluid vessels and with the help of which a supplementary cleaning of these specially exposed machine components is made possible. |
