Abstract
Disclosed is a mobile vibratory abrasive cleaning apparatus that includes a flatbed having wheels upon which are mounted the other components of the apparatus which include a cleaning tank, a vibrator for vibrating the tank, a loop system for circulating the abrasive cleaner through the tank, control panel and power generator supplying electricity for running the apparatus. The loop system for circulating abrasive cleaner through the tank includes sprayers in the tank, an abrasive cleaner surge tank, filter system and drain system. In operation, the abrasive cleaner is pumped from the cleaner surge tank to the sprayers in the cleaning tank, and after contacting the articles to be cleaned, the abrasive cleaner drains from the cleaning tank and is pumped back to the cleaner surge tank. Contaminants are removed via a filter provided in the surge tank and/or the drain system.
