Clean & Prime Machines

Garneau's clean and prime machines are designed to clean pipe in accordance with ASTM D2200-63T, Condition ST.2 or SIS 05-5900-1967, Condition ST.2 (Swedish). With most pipe this condition will be achieved with one pass. However, in certain cases more than one pass may be necessary.

Options and attachments are available which allow the machines to be configured to the requirements of the application. Options are built into the machine at the time of manufacture.

Attachments are available to be fitted in the field by the customer, or at the time of manufacture. The standard cleaning head is available in lieu of the quick change head on models GCPL 3-8 through GCPL 26-30.

Options (Factory Fit Only) Attachments
Optional power units Exhaust fan
Torque converters GCP 30-36 and up only Conversion kits to change to another pipe size within a machine range
Mountain Climber (spring tensioned, articulated, powered lower crawler) Clean & prime head assemblies to convert dual range machines to the other range. (GCPL 8-16 and GCPL 16-26 only)
Squeegee (dust baffle between cleaning and priming section) Primer heating kit
Winterization kits to minus 40°C (-40°F) Safety guard kit
Flood-Wipe-Prime priming system Cradling bars
Spinning rug gravity priming system Special cradle for use with cradling bar
Powered lower crawlers (GCPL 3-8 only). For use with light wall pipe; requires use of a cradling attachment. Fire extinguisher attachment
Powered upper and lower crawler (GCPL 8-16 only). For use with light wall pipe; requires use of a cradling attachment.
Split cleaning and priming heads for mounting on continuous pipeline.
Machines prepared for air-freight shipment.

Model GPL 8-16 (8-12/12-16) and GPL 16-26 (16-20/20-26) are dual range machines. One range is supplied at the time of manufacture, to customer specification. The other range is sold as an attachment.

Notes:

  1. Ratings are for standard diesel engines fitted to Garneau's clean and prime machines, operating at recommended rpm at sea level.
  2. Dimensions do not include the balancing guide (Stinger) or the exhaust fan attachment.
