The washing device includes tubes passing through the wall of the tank and each of the tubes having an end extending into the interior chamber, tubing in communication with the tubes for feeding a washing liquid thereto, a nozzle affixed to each tube end and arranged to project the washing liquid onto respective ones of the partition parts susceptible to becoming fouled, a body of revolution carrying each tube, a bearing box for each body, the bearing box being mounted on the wall of the tank and the body being pivotal in the bearing box, the bearing box having a bottom defining an opening receiving the tube and being of a dimension which permits angular movements of the tube upon pivoting of the body, and a cover closing the bearing box outside the tank. A lever is affixed to the body and passes through an opening in the bearing box cover, the opening being of a dimension which permits angular movements of the lever for pivoting the body and the tube carried thereby.
