Hose cleaning apparatus and method
Abstract:
This is a cleaning apparatus that automatically cleans the inside of a hose, end to end, by placing each end of a hose as a male into a female manifold which allows for complete exposure of the entire interior surface of a hose to the cleaning and drying process for the purpose of removing contaminants such as bacteria. A sprayer is fluidly connected to the exhaust manifold via a conduit and configured to spray liquid onto the outside of a hose as well as breathing mask components to be cleaned. A three-way valve is configured to control flow of the liquid, pumped by the pump, and the heated air, blown by the blower, into the intake manifold which provides the means to get the cleaning fluid inside a hose during the cleaning and rinsing cycles and air inside of a hose during the dry cycle.
