Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for cleaning a succession of workpieces such as automobile engine blocks includes a first cleaning mechanism wherein cleaning media such as steel shot is directed against the workpieces. After being discharged from the first cleaning mechanism, the workpieces are inverted and passed through a second cleaning mechanism where cleaning media again is directed against the workpieces. In the second cleaning mechanism, the workpieces are separated so that the ends of the workpieces can be cleaned. The invention includes turning mechanisms for inverting the workpieces one-by-one, as well as devices for controlling the movement of the workpieces through the different cleaning and turning mechanisms.
