Abstract
A sludge cleaning lance advancing apparatus includes a frame having a lead screw rotatably disposed in the frame. An electric stepping motor is connected to the frame and a belt and pulley drive is connected between the stepping motor and the lead screw for rotating the lead screw upon rotation of a shaft of the stepping motor. A lance carrier has an internal screw thread engaging the lead screw, and the lance carrier and lead screw are so arranged and constructed that the lance carrier is moved longitudinally relative to the lead screw as the lead screw is rotated relative to the lance carrier. A lance is carried by the lance carrier. A handwheel is attached to the lead screw for manually rotating the lead screw to initially position the lance. An alignment rod is provided to aid in this initial positioning.
