Burner maintenance tool

Abstract

A device for cleaning a tip of a furnace burner including a support tube of axis X intended to pass through the burner to have the burner passing through it and where the support tube includes a metal cable connected at one of its ends to a scraper and at the other end to a system for setting and maintaining the position of the scraper, in that the scraper is articulated to on the support tube between a first position aligned with the axis X in the continuation of the support tube and a second position perpendicular to the axis X, in that the scraper has a chamfered part on its profile and in that the support tube is connected to a rotation means for setting rotating the entire whole device in rotation. It can be set in place and manipulated from the rear of the burner, thereby ensuring a good level of safety for interventions such that a rotational and/or translational movement about the tip of the burner allows the concretions to be cleaned off effectively whatever their nature (shape, hardness, etc.) and their position.
