The final thesis deals with the design and modelling of a cleaning device for reusable plastic packaging. In the company there was a need for faster and cheaper cleaning of plastic product trays, crates, lids and other parts of packaging used for product storage. Currently, packaging is cleaned by wet washing, which is time-consuming, wasteful and does not produce the desired results. The main requirements for the new cleaning device were that it be mobile, able to clean different sizes of packaging, and used air as the cleaning medium. Based on the requirements, we defined the operating principle of the new device and designed the concept. During the CAD model creation, we selected the main components and determined their layout. We installed a cleaning system which uses compressed air, offered on the market by a well-known manufacturer. In addition, we included another blowing system with an air blower for larger pieces of packaging. Since we designed the system ourselves, we demonstrated its effectiveness by simulating the airflow during cleaning.
