Abstract

The invention relates to a device for the rinsing of containers, particularly small-size containers of plant-protective or toxic products. The same assembly comprises a rinsing liquid inlet, a channel directed upwards which can penetrate into the container to be rinsed, introduced with the opening downwards, and an ejector fed by a branch from the rinsing liquid supply and capable of removing the draining liquid collected in a funnel surrounding the channel. Preferably, the positioning of the container controls, via a pushing device, the supply of liquid to the channel.
