A machine comprising: a lance, the lance configured to clean insides of tubes; a guide way positioned near the tubes; a transversal drive support slidable on the guide way and configured to move the lance along the guide way towards an insertion head; a rotational drive coupled to the lance for controlling rotation of the lance; and a feeding system coupled to the lance, wherein the guide way forms at least one supporting lance channel over a length of the guide way, the at least one channel forming an enclosure from all sides for guiding the lance, whereby a part on the circumference of the enclosure is made of a flexible lip, which lip can be locally bent by deflectors travelling with the lance.

Various clutch adjusting assemblies for incorporating in drain cleaning machines are described. The assemblies enable adjustment or setting of a clutch in a drain cleaning machine without the use of tools.

A method for cleaning a coke deposit from an internal surface of a process equipment, comprising removing at least a portion of the coke deposit from the internal surface using a flexible pig comprising a plurality of bristles, without damaging a metal protective layer of the internal surface of the process equipment. A flexible pig for cleaning a coke deposit from an internal surface of a process equipment without damaging a metal protective layer of the internal surface, comprising a flexible body formed of a polymeric material, and a plurality of bristles partially encapsulated by the polymeric material of the flexible body.

A new, innovative pipeline cleanout tool useful in removing debris and accretions from pipelines prior to reinstating the pipeline. The pipeline cleanout tool includes rotatable cleaning head assembly that includes a cylindrical body having a first end surface and a second end surface. A plurality of grooves formed in the first end surface and a plurality of grooves formed in the second end surface accept the insertion of arcuate flexible metal elements that extend spirally outward from the surface of the cylindrical member. The arcuate flexible metal elements, when compressed form an arcuate flexible metal element ring that contacts the interior surface of the pipeline. The rotatable cleaning head assembly also includes a first end cap and a second end cap, both end caps physically coupled to the cylindrical body and a rotatable flexible shaft. The tool further includes spacer elements and compressible elements disposed about the rotatable flexible shaft.
