Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1440766A1] An apparatus (10) for cleaning and descaling an elongate member (125), comprising an orbital drive housing (12), a drive roller (13) and an adjustable roller (14) both mounted apart from one another in parallel on said orbital drive housing (12), a support member (29) for supporting said elongate member passing through it, an abrasive belt (17) mounted on said rollers (13,14) and in contact with said elongate member (125). A motor (18) rotates said orbital drive housing (12), and a drive rotates said drive roller (13) as the orbital drive housing (12) is rotated about said elongate member (125). The apparatus comprises a belt release system and a tensioning assembly associated with said adjustable roller (14) to provide the pre-tension of the belt. The adjustable roller (14) is mounted free to move outward from the centre of rotation of the orbital drive housing (12) beyond the pre-tension setting. <IMAGE>
