Abstract: A device for driving a flexible lance for cleaning a heat exchanger duct or the like, includes a frame in which a driving mechanism is arranged for moving this flexible lance in a driving direction in the direction of an outlet opening. The driving mechanism is provided with a clamp member which can be clamped on the flexible lance and which is movable in the frame towards and away from this outlet opening. The clamp member is mounted on an endless drive element. The active part of the endless drive runs parallel to the driving direction. The drive mechanism further comprises at least one non-driven counter roller arranged opposite said clamp member. The lance is clamped between the clamp member and the counter roller.

Abstract: A heat exchanger cleaning device is provided. The cleaning device includes a drive motor configured to rotate a gearbox, a slip clutch and a support beam about a first axis. The support beam carries a thread rod, a second motor, and one or more carriage assemblies. The carriage assemblies move linearly as the second motor rotates the threaded rod. The carriage assemblies include a support tube for receiving an ultra-high pressure tube therethrough. The carriage assemblies adjust relative to the heat exchanger such that the UHP tube may be inserted through the support tube into a hole of the heat exchanger. Therein the UHP tube may be advanced to clean sediment from the heat exchanger tube.

Abstract: Device for removing a bundle from the casing of a heat exchanger, comprising a carrier frame provided with pulling means for removing the bundle from the casing, wherein the carrier frame is adapted to hold the bundle removed from the casing, wherein the device is provided with hoisting means for hoisting the carrier frame, wherein the hoisting means comprise at least one gripper and wherein the device is also provided with connecting means for connecting the gripper releasably to the carrier frame.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for engaging objects, such as heat exchangers of varying sizes. The device includes at least one gripper provided with at least a first and a second gripper arm, at least one of which is movable with respect to the other gripper arm for enclosing an object therebetween; and a driving mechanism connected to at least one of the first and second gripper arms for closing or opening the gripper as needed, wherein at least one of the first and second gripper arms includes a first and a second gripper arm part that are pivotally coupled together, and an adjusting mechanism provided between the first and second gripper arm parts, the adjusting mechanism being arranged for adjusting the angle between the gripper arm parts in dependence on the diameter of the object to be engaged prior to engaging the object.

Abstract: Device (11) for driving a flexible lance (4) for cleaning a heat exchanger duct, provided with a frame (1) in which a drive (12) driving a flexible lance (4) is arranged for moving this flexible lance (4) in the direction of an outlet opening. The drive (12) is provided with a member (27) which can be clamped round the flexible lance (4) and which is movable in the frame (1) towards and away from this outlet opening.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lance device comprising a frame, a drum mounted rotatably on the frame, at least one hose arranged on the drum, containing means provided with a passage for containing the hose while lying on the drum, connecting means for connecting a source of liquid under high pressure to an end of the hose joined to the drum and drive means for driving the drum in rotation. The containing means comprise an endless flexible member and guide means therefor which guide the flexible member in a path from one side of the passage round the drum and lying thereagainst to the other side of the passage and therefrom at a distance from the drum in opposite direction back to the one side of the passage.

Abstract: A device for spreading two flanges (1, 2) mounted in opposite position in a pipe system (3), which device mainly comprises a conical screw element (7) to be inserted into a continuous hole of a flange, said element having an axial opening, in which fits a pressure member (6) having a pressure head face for the axial displacement of the pressure member in said opening, wherein the screw element (7) has a screwthread with at least three leads in order to adapt said device for a greater variety of hole diameters in the flanges (1, 2) and to guarantee the necessary guiding of the conical screw element (7) during insertion thereof.
