ABSTRACT:
A cleaning apparatus for elongated articles such as lengths of tubing or bar stock has a cleaning housing through which an article is passed axially for cleaning. Inside the housing is an array of helically disposed brushes which wipe the outer surface of the article as it is passed between them. Cleaning solvent is circulated through the housing. The brushes are circumferentially disposed and helically oriented to define a central tunnel through which the article is passed and the diameter is such that the brushes wipe the outer surface of the articles. The helical disposition of the brushes insures that the entire outer surface is wiped. The housing has adjustable end plate assemblies allowing the position of the brushes to be varied so that different diameter articles can be accommodated. The apparatus also includes a resilient wiper ring at the outlet of the housing through which the elongated articles pass for the removal of moisture from their surfaces.
