ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for cleaning tanks which is inserted into an opening at the top of the tank to be cleaned. The apparatus has an elongated cylindrical housing with an upper fluid inlet portion and a lower portion having a cylindrical rotary member coupled for rotation to the housing. The apparatus includes an air motor in the upper portion. In the lower portion, the main component is a high pressure block with an elongated axial aperture and a plurality of feed tubes disposed parallel to the axial aperture are held by the block. There is a central rotating vertical main tube in the central aperture which carries high pressure liquid. At the end of the high pressure block is a bevel housing gear and a nozzle tube is coupled at right angles to the central vertical tube. This nozzle tube has vertically disposed spray nozzles at one end and a bevel gear at the other end which is engaged with the bevel housing gear. In the central part of the cylindrical housing are gear and pinion shafts parallel to the central axis including one shaft axially aligned in coincidence with the central vertical axis. The air motor has a drive pinion on its output shaft which drives a gear train held on the gear and pinion shafts. The air motor drives the gear train which turns the central rotating vertical main tube and also turns the nozzle tube coupled to it. As the nozzle tube turns, the tube bevel gear engaged with the housing bevel gear is caused to turn which turns the nozzle tube. As the nozzle tube turns it turns the nozzles at the outer end of the nozzle tube.
