Description
Cleans up to 800 trolleys per hour. One man can easily handle the cleaning and oiling of up to 800 trolleys per hour. The LeFiell Trolley Cleaning System provides a rapid and efficient method of cleaning and oiling trolleys which reduces the time and manpower required. Maintenance costs are proportionately lower. Longer, more efficient life of your trolleys is assured.
Equipment consists of the following: 9060-11 Cleaning Tank constructed of heavy gauge steel, with adjustable legs, is fitted with steam coils behind a partition along one side. Thermal currents caused by the heat from these coils force any scum on the surface to flow to a full-length overflow trough, preventing trolleys from picking up dirt while being removed from cleaning bath. 9060-12 Oil Dip Tank is fitted with steam coils and has adjustable legs. 9060-13 Drip Rack with Drip Pan is of sheet steel, mounted on legs high enough to allow recovery of oil drippings in a bucket for re-use in Oil Dip Tank. Racks can handle roughly 50 trolleys and are designed to rest on sides of Cleaning Tank and Oil Dip Tank permitting trolleys can be moved to each operation by either hand or electric hoist.
The cleaning operation is simple, quick and easy. Cleaning Tank is filled with approximately 300 gallons of water and heated to 180 degrees. Two to four ounces of cleaning compound per gallon are added. White oil or similar is heated to 140 degrees in Oil Dip Tank. Operator places approximately 50 trolleys on Trolley Rack. These are lowered by means of an overhead hoist into Cleaning Tank. Trolley Rack rest on sides of tank, freeing hoist to move another loaded rack. Trolleys remain in solution 6-8 minutes, are removed by hoist and suspended in between Cleaning Tank and Oil Dip Tank for rinsing. They are washed with high pressure water 130 degrees to 140 degrees then the trolleys are lowered into Oil Dip Tank. After several minutes of submersion, Trolley Rack is hoisted over Drip Rack with Drip Pan and lowered onto Drip Rack and permitted to drain. Trolleys are then placed on Trolley Rack Truck and moved to kill floor, receiving dock, etc. If desired, a rust removing treatment in a special tank can be used just before oil treatment.
