A second movable support frame includes a used washed fluid collection area and a second pump at one end that transfers the collected wash fluid back to the second tank of the first movable support frame through a conduit. The second movable support frame also includes an inclination adjustment mechanism that adjusts the inclination of the second movable support frame so that the collected fluid is supplied to the second pump. A method for dispensing, collecting, and processing wash fluid dispensing wash fluid from a first movable support frame, collecting used wash fluid in a collection area of a second movable support frame, adjusting an inclination of the second movable support frame, transferring the used wash fluid from the second movable support frame to…
