Abstract
An automatic closure cleansing machine has at least two rotary carriers each having a plurality of receptacles arranged in equally spaced relation to each other and also in equally spaced relation to the axis of rotation of the corresponding rotary carrier, and first and second cleansing liquid applicators being positioned adjacent the rotary carriers, respectively, for spraying a cleansing liquid under pressure towards the closure members carried by the rotary carrier by the effect of a suction force. For this purpose, the receptacles on each rotary carrier are successively communicated to a source of vacuum. One of the opposed sides of each of the closure members is cleansed during the transportation of the closure member by the first rotary carrier while the other of the opposed sides of the closure member is cleansed during the transportation of the closure member by the second rotary carrier. A silicone resin coating may be applied to the closure members after they are removed from the second rotary carrier.
