Clyde Bergemann doesn’t make a one-size-fits-all soot blower. The manual immediately distinguishes between models: the long-retractable IK series, the wall-blowing PS-AL, and the rotary V92. Each has its own “personality.” The IK-525, for example, is a long-travel lance that steams into the furnace, rotates, and retracts — all while navigating thermal expansion. The manual’s lubrication charts aren’t just schedules; they’re a conversation about stress points: the carriage drive, the poppet valve, the helical gearbox.
Completely replace the graphite or Teflon packing rings in the stuffing box and feed tube gland.
