Cleaning apparatus and method

This invention describes a machine designed to clean animal carcasses, specifically poultry, by spraying them with a cleaning substance. The machine uses a housing where the carcasses pass through, and nozzles inside deliver the cleaning solution. The claims narrow this to a system where the cleaning substance in an initial phase must contain chlorine dioxide at a concentration of at least 1.0 parts per million, delivered at a rate of at least 2.0 gallons per minute.

Why it matters: Since 2007, advancements in chemical dosing equipment and real-time sensor technology have likely made precise control of chlorine dioxide concentration and flow rates more reliable and cost-effective. This could simplify the implementation and operation of such a specialized cleaning system.
