Machine for emptying and cleaning containers

摘要

In a machine for emptying and cleaning containers such as crates and the like, with stationary guide parts which are arranged inside and extend in a helical fashion and a supporting device which rotates in the centre, continuous feeding and removal of boxes is to be possible in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the machine. To this end, it is proposed according to the invention that the containers (4) be fed in the direction of the axis (13) of the machine housing above the supporting device (3) in a continuous fashion and along a circular transfer casing (14, 16) to a polygonal casing (15) of the supporting device (3), and be correspondingly removed by the same actions carried out in reverse order once they have passed through the machine. <IMAGE>
