Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a spark plug cleaner and a method of operating the cleaner. The spark plug cleaner includes a closed container adapted to receive and hold a spark plug in a horizontal position with its electrode inside the closed container. A motor driven multi-directional rotatable impeller, having a vertical shaft extending through the top wall of the container, is mounted within the container with the multi-directional rotatable impeller having an axial inlet facing downwardly inside the container. The container is provided with a horizontally extended duct between the lower end of the spark plug holder and the downwardly open inlet of the multi-directional rotatable impeller to permit the impeller to project the particulate against the spark plug and to continuously recirculate the particulate through the multi-directional rotatable impeller during operation.
