The invention relates to a coating system in the form of a vehicle (3), which can travel in a pipe (1) or a duct. The coating system is pulled over an appropriately stabilised section of piping (4) in such a way that the inner wall (58) can be evenly coated by a rotating distributor (18) with an outlet opening (29). The various product and supply lines (20, 21, 22, 136) are securely accommodated inside the section of piping (4) by means of a highly resistant flexible tube (138) into which they are drawn. Said flexible tube is air-tightly sealed by covers (148, 149) or a terminal block (150) at the ends and is also configured to absorb tensile forces. The individual supply and product lines (20, 21, 22, 136) are thereby protected in the section of piping (4) without being subjected to excessive pulling or other forces. They are also prevented from interfering with each other. The advantageous, simple, lightweight configuration of the section of piping (4) can therefore be used to continuously clean sections of pipes (1) and ducts of 150 m and more.
A coating system to coat the inside of pipes (1) and similar longitudinally stretched hollow objects in the form of a vehicle with a distributor which can travel lengthwise through a pipe whereas the components of the coating agent are separated up to the distributor in a common section of piping, are then intensively mixed and as a mixture applied onto the inner walls of the pipe in travel direction behind the vehicle, the vehicle is designed with space holders that compensate irregularities of the inner wall of the pipe and that can be adjusted to fit the individual diameter of the inner wall of the pipe and that it can be moved forwards and backwards inside the pipe to correct mistakes whereas the pulling section of piping is always kept tight and at the points where it changes the direction it is guided by rollers that secure the predetermined angle of redirection and it is also guided during the rolling on and off process of the spool and thus always remains connected with the coating agent storage container, which is equipped with a vehicle (3) that is guided along the inner wall (26) of the pipe (1) by a drive and which features a distributor (19) for the coating agent, the vehicle (3) is connected with at least one coating agent storage container (8) via a flexible section of piping (4) whereas the section of piping (4) is connected with a spool (7) positioned outside the pipe (1)
