  • Patent number: 6648633
    Abstract: A coiler drum cleaner for cleaning the drum of a coiler furnace (typically associated with a reversing rolling mill or Steckel mill) is disclosed. The coiler drum cleaner includes a cleaning element rotatably mounted at one end of a longitudinally extending tubular member, the tubular member being movably installed in association with a coiler furnace such that the cleaning element may be inserted into the coiler furnace and moved across the surface of the coiler drum, by moving the tubular member substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the coiler furnace drum. The tubular member also includes means for moving the cleaning element roughly perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tubular member so as to bring the cleaning element into contact with the drum. In use, the cleaning element is inserted into the coiler furnace, brought into contact with the coiler drum and rotated so as to clean the coiler drum.
