 *Note: this will be rolled into the cleaning system video once deployed.
-After the cleaning system removes the bulk contents of the jar, it continues to the jar-inversion tunnel. It passively tunnel flips the jars upside-down. There are slots for ease of cleaning. Once inverted, the jars are supported by a narrow rail. An air-jet forcibly removes any remaining debris, which is caught by a drip tray below. There is a slot to eject any prone jars.

-Jars are then staggered and spaced by a spiral drive. Jars are only taken one at a time. The start of the spiral is perpendicular to the jar motion, preventing the conveyor backpressure from applying torque on the spiral's motor.

-When the all of the 5 spiral positions are occupied, a gantry picks up the batch. It uses suction cups with a vacuum ejector to lift the jars. The gantry moves over and places the jars into a washing rack. This process repeats until the washing rack is full and the system pauses.

 An operator then puts the full washing into a dishwasher and replaces the rack with an empty one.
