Lost Tube

04/19/2007 8:23 AM

I am running a Contiuous Cooker system which is heated via Steam, there is a pipe that runs through the center of the jacket which displaces the Condensate, this pipe has broken away from the nipple in which it is/was attached and is laying in the internal section of the Cooker, rather than disassemble the entire Drive and remove the Shaft/discs, I am looking for someone that may be able to provide a service of running a camera with a "claw" down to the pipe and removing it.....any suggestions??

Thanks!!

How big is the pipe piece and what is it made of?

Magnet-on-a-string or magnet-on-a-rod? Wire coat-hanger?

Further, if disassembly is not an option, what is going to happen to the stub where the pipe broke off after the pipe has been recovered?

The pipe is approximatly 6 feet long, and is made of Stainless Steel. We have the stub, it is part of the Johnson Joint (steam). The pipe is the only thing we were unable to recover, it had come off the nipple and worked its way down into the jacket.

Stainless steel is NOT attracted to magnets, so the camera/claw method is next.....

Anyway, if the vessel is normal steel, the magnet would get stuck to that first EVEN if the pipe was attracted to the magnet!!

What about a sketch with distances to help us on CR4?
