Abstract
A portable pipe cleaning apparatus is provided which comprises a tank capable of withstanding pressures of at least about 200 psi. A plurality of outlet valve means are in communication with the tank, with the valves adapted to be opened independently of each other. The valves function to allow a variable discharge from the tank. Means are provided for directing the discharge from the tank regulated by, and in communication with the outlet valve means. Means are also provided for charging an aggregate to dispense with the discharge. The apparatus is particularly adapted to be used with air and water under pressure by the alternate opening and closing of the valves providing a variable discharge of highly aerated water at a variable velocity.
Claims7
An apparatus for cleaning pipes comprising:
- (a) a tank capable of withstanding at least about 100 psi;
- and
- (b) a plurality of outlet valve means in communication with said tank and with a single discharge outlet means, said valves adapted to be opened independently of each other, said valves functioning to allow a variable discharge of air and water through said valves and outlet means from said tank.
An apparatus for cleaning pipes comprising:
- (a) a tank capable of withstanding pressure of at least about 200 psi;
- (b) an enclosed conduit within said tank, said conduit extending to the exterior of said tank, said conduit being positioned along the bottom of said tank and extending toward the top of said tank and having a terminus within the tank;
- (c) a plurality of valves positioned along the bottom of the conduit communicating the interior of the tank with the interior of the conduit;
- and
- (d) a valve positioned toward the top of said conduit communicating the interior of said conduit with the interior of said tank.
