Abstract:
A portable automated mini-bulk container rinsing system for rinsing mini-bulk containers in a closed, efficient environmentally friendly and economical manner is disclosed. The system includes a cap attachable to a mini-bulk container opening; a rigid tube extending from the cap configured to extend into the mini-bulk container interior; a spray head coupled to the tube at a distal end of the tube spaced from the cap and configured to be within the mini-bulk container interior when the cap is attached to the mini-bulk container opening; and a fluid coupling member attached to an end of the rigid tube opposite the spray head and adapted to be coupled to a source of cleaning fluid, wherein fluid under pressure can flow from the source, through the fluid coupling, through the tube and through the spray head to rinse the mini-bulk container when the cap is coupled to the mini-bulk container opening.
