Abstract
The present invention comprises a conveyor assembly for carrying an item that has been painted by over-spray or dipping to a cleaning chamber where a cleaning means, typically a high pressure water cleaning device, is used to remove paint layers from an inadvertently painted item. The cleaning chamber further comprises a pool having an elongated drainage element such that water may be drained off from the top of the surface of the pool while the paint layers are deposited into the pool. The paint layers may subsequently be removed from the pool and disposed of properly. The invention further comprises a method of using the cleaning chamber, high pressure water cleaning device, pool and drainage device to clean items used to hold items to be painted.
