<p>The present invention relates to an apparatus for washing oriented stoppers (1) in a closed environment while retaining the orientation of the stoppers. The apparatus includes a closed chamber (3) to which the oriented stoppers (1) are led via a supply conveyor (2) to a chain conveyor (4, 3) arranged in the closed chamber (3). The chain conveyor is provided with dogs (8) adapted for gripping the stoppers (1) at the supply conveyor (2) and while retaining the stoppers in their oriented positions convey them past a washing station (S) for subsequently delivering the washed stoppers to a delivery means (10) connected to the closed chamber (3) and similarly closed, while retaining the orientation of the stoppers.</p> |
