Abstract
A cleaner system providing a compact package capable of installation and use in a minimal of space and substantially without loss of space by reason of its configuration. The arrangement provides for free access to all components. In preferred embodiment the system features vertically oriented pipe-like conduits serving as accepts and rejects headers which per se support vertically spaced pairs of cleaners connecting directly to said conduits in straight line configurations and with their rejects ends lower than their accepts ends. The cleaners of each pair are arranged parallel and functionally coupled to provide that to one end their accepts move in essentially parallel straight line flow to and tangentially inward of respectively opposite sides of the interior wall surface of the related accepts conduit. Their rejects flow in like fashion to and tangentially inward of respectively opposite sides of the interior wall surface of the related rejects conduit. The nature of the entry of accepts and the rejects into the respective conduits provide for an interfering flow pattern which renders more efficient and effective the suction means which are applied to one end or the other of t…
