The cleaning barrel 11 carried into the carry-in section 32
When the cleaning barrel 38 is transferred to the cleaning unit 38, if another cleaning barrel 11 is already processed before the cleaning barrel 11, the cleaning unit
From 38 to rinsing section 39, from rinsing section 39 to upstream drying section 47
The cleaning barrel 11 after each processing is sequentially transferred from the upstream drying section 47 to the downstream drying section 47 and from the downstream drying section 47 to the unloading section 33. The cleaning barrel 11 transferred to the carry-out section 33 is carried out to the carry-out line.

Then, in the cleaning unit 38, the support 53 supporting the cleaning barrel 11 descends, the cleaning barrel 11 is immersed in the cleaning liquid, and the roller 56 of the support 53 is rotationally driven to rotate the cleaning barrel 11. By rotating the cleaning barrel 11 in the cleaning liquid in this way, the cleaning product in the cleaning barrel 11 is agitated in the cleaning liquid, and the cleaning product is effectively cleaned in a short time.

After the completion of the cleaning in the cleaning liquid, the support 53 moves up and the cleaning barrel 11 is taken out upward from the cleaning liquid surface. During this removal, gas is blown from the nozzles 42 on both sides of the cleaning tank 41 to the outer surface of the cleaning barrel 11 to drain the liquid. Further, after stopping the rising of the support body 53, the liquid draining nozzle 61 is inserted into the inner cylinder portion 14 of the cleaning barrel 11, and gas is ejected to clean the cleaning barrel.
Drain from the inside of 11. Thus, the cleaning barrel
By blowing gas from inside and outside of 11 to drain the liquid, the drain of the cleaning liquid adhering to the cleaned object can be effectively drained in a short time.

Next, in the rinsing section 39, the support 53 supporting the cleaning barrel 11 descends, the cleaning barrel 11 is immersed in the rinsing liquid, and the roller 56 of the support 53 is rotationally driven to rotate the cleaning barrel 11. Let By rotating the cleaning barrel 11 in the rinsing liquid in this way, the cleaning material in the cleaning barrel 11 is stirred in the rinsing liquid, and the cleaning material is effectively rinsed in a short time.

After the cleaning in the rinsing liquid is completed, the support 53 moves up and the cleaning barrel 11 is taken out upward from the rinsing liquid surface. During this removal, a rinsing liquid is sprayed from the nozzles 42 on both sides of the cleaning tank 41 to the outer surface of the cleaning barrel 11 to perform rinsing. Furthermore, after stopping the rise of the support body 53, the rinsing nozzle is attached to the cleaning barrel.
Insert it into the inner cylinder part 14 of 11 and spout out the rinse liquid.
Rinse from inside. In this manner, by spraying the rinsing liquid from the inner and outer surfaces of the cleaning barrel 11 to perform rinsing, the rinsing liquid attached to the cleaning material can be effectively rinsed in a short time.

Next, in the finishing 40, the roller 56 of the support body 53 supporting the cleaning barrel 11 is rotationally driven to drive the cleaning barrel 11.
11 is rotated, the finishing liquid is sprayed from the nozzle 46 to the outer surface of the cleaning barrel 11, and the finishing nozzle is cleaned by the cleaning barrel 11.
