Tube Cleaning

Aqua Energy manufactures and supplies a range of robots for cleaning heat exchanger tubes internally and externally. 

 

Our internal tube cleaning robots clean 3 or 5 tubes at the same time.

Our external cleaning robot cleans the outside of the bundles with 5 nozzles.

Both robots use pressures of 1,000 up to 1400 bar and water flows up to 200.00 litres per minute.

 

Tube Cleaner, 3 or 5 lances

 

The I-930-5 robotic five lance tube cleaner cleans 3 or 5 tubes at the same time and offers unequalled productivity. It cleans tube bundles up to 10metres long and tubes as small as 10mm ID (longer lance versions available).

Hydraulic driven by a 33 horsepower Hatz silenced engine.  

  • The 3 lance version is used with our 300 horsepower pump and the 5 lance model is used with our 500 horsepower pump.
  • Working pressures of 1,000 bar or 1,400 bar easily clean blocked tubes.

All controls for movement including controlling the high pressure pump pressure are located inside the operator's cabin.

Air conditioning is supplied as an option for hot countries, heaters supplied for cold locations.

External Bundle Cleaner

 

The robotic E-930-5 tube bundle cleaner is the fastest on the market for cleaning the outside of heat exchangers. Five (5) nozzles with pressures up to 1,400 bar guarantee that everything is clean and fast.  All controls are inside the operators cabin, including the control to put the pressure on and off of the high pressure pump.  

The bundle cleaners hydraulics are driven by a 33 BHP (25Kw) air cooled Hatz silenced engine.

 

  • As an optional extra the cabin is supplied with air condition for warm countries or heaters for cold countries.

Hydraulic Rollers

 

The heat exchangers are mounted on our large hydraulic rollers that slowly rotate 25,000 Kg and 50,000 Kg heat exchangers effortlessly.

One roller is an idle roller, the other is hydraulically driven.

The rollers can be moved to take any size of heat exchanger.

Heat Exchanger Nipple & End Cap Cleaning

 

Nipple and end cap cleaning are a very important part of the maintenance in refineries.  

The operator shown is cleaning the end cap and the outside of the nipple with 1,400 bar pressure and a four jet rotating nozzle.

The ends caps and nipples are part of a paraffin making process.

Safety Guard

 

Operator manually cleaning heat exchanger tubes with a flexible hose, nozzle and a safety guard.

The safety guard is designed to protect the operator should the hose and the water jet nozzle hydraulic back out of the tube.

The safety guard also protects the operator from water splash back.

Stainless Steel, Semi Flexible Lance

 

For manually cleaning blocked heat exchanger tubes with up to 15,000 psi (1,034 bar) pressure our Stainless Steel Semi Flexible Lance is the best on the market.  Unlike other stainless steel lances this one comes in single lengths up to 20 metres long and is so flexible that it will roll up into a 1.2 metre circle for easy storage after use.  

  • For pressure up to 40,000 psi other types of rigid stainless steel lances are available.
