To provide a cleaning apparatus capable of measuring the cleaning capability of cleaning water, in the cleaning apparatus using foams.
The cleaning apparatus 1 comprises a cleaning tank 3 containing cleaning water 2, an ultrasonic sensor 15 for measuring the diameter and density of foams 4 in the cleaning water 2, a measurement tube 16 for sending the cleaning water 2 to the ultrasonic sensor 15, a suction pump 17 for pumping up the cleaning water 2 to the measurement tube 16, a control device 18 installed for receiving and analyzing signals from the cleaning sensor 15, an additive tank 19 for supplying an additive to the cleaning tank 3 by the control device 18, and an additive supply pump 20 for supplying the additive in a needed amount from the additive tank 19. Consequently, the diameter and density of the foams are measured by the ultrasonic sensor to grasp the cleaning capability of the cleaning water and the additive is supplemented, as required, to keep high cleaning capability.
