A method of descaling rod comprising the steps of providing a distribution of separated cleaning particles in an enclosed space, forming at least one bent portion in a rod to be descaled in said enclosed space, and rotating the bent portion in an approximately circular path in the enclosed space such that said bent portion strikes said cleaning particles.
Rod descaling means comprising an enclosure having spaced inlet and outlet openings therein, first means for distributing separated cleaning particles in said enclosure, second means for forming a bent portion in a rod extending between said openings and rotating the bent portion in an approximately circular path such that said bent portion strikes the particles in said enclosure, and third means for moving the rod through the enclosure between the openings and maintaining the bent portion in the enclosure.
