ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for cleaning the outer periphery of a pipe (10) by a carriage (28) travelling along the pipe (10). A housing (58) supported from an upper support frame (56) of the carriage (28) includes a pair of housing halves (58, 60) pivotally connected to each other and forming an enclosed chamber about the pipe (10). Nozzles (94) on the housing (58) are spaced about the pipe (10) for the discharge of a cleaning material in a high velocity stream against the outer surface of the pipe (10). A lifting head (114) connected to the housing halves (58, 60) pivots the halves (58, 60) to an open position and also lifts the carriage (28) from the pipe (10). An embodiment shown in FIGS. 8-10 includes a housing (58B) mounted on rollers (85B) of cariage frame (56B) for oscillation of housing (58B) and nozzles (94B) in an arcuate stroke relative to the carriage frame (56B).
