Abrégé

A driving apparatus can be utilized to control the cleaning movements of one or more cleaning lances with respect to certain industrial equipment such as a heat exchanger. For example, driving apparatus can be utilized to feed an additional length of cleaning lance to the tubes of exchanger, or to retract cleaning lance from the tubes of exchanger as desired. In general, driving apparatus can be used to clean a variety of types of pipes, tubing and equipment used in industrial facilities.
