Key words: the complications in the extraction of oil, producing well, asphaltene deposits, the technology of asphaltene deposits removal.

A device for cleaning pipelines, which separates the layer of wax and impurities from the inner wall of the pipeline by the blades ends and washes it by liquid jet in the direction of movement, is proposed. Short length of the device allows high-quality clear the pipeline in areas of curvature due to its short length of the flexible part. The simple principle of the device, the lack of moving parts and a small number of connection points contribute to the reliability of the device and increases its service life.
