Cleaning | Method
The
Conco cleaning method may be applied to clean straight
tubes with inner diameters of 11 to 31 mm, made out of brass, stainless
steel, titanium or boiler steel. The cleaning element is a cleaner
(projectile) made out of spring steel, driven by water and equipped with
4 pairs of blades closely adjusted to the inner diameter of the tube.
The cleaner is inserted and “shot” through the entire length of the tube
by water pressure of 2 Mpa, provided by a special pump system. The
cleaner travels through the tube with a speed of 6 meter per second.
Deposits are mechanically scraped off by the blades and subsequently
flushed out by the flowing water. Each cleaner can be used 10 times and
still provide superior cleaning results.
Our cleaning process may be applied to remove soft
deposits such as mud and slime as well as the hard ones (limescales,
calcium carbonates, iron sulfides, iron oxides, manganese). Cleaner can
also remove all types of obstructions and corrosion products, while
smoothing the tube ID surface.
The CONCO cleaning method is a perfect supplement to the on-line sponge balls tube cleaning systems. After one pass of a tube cleaner, the inner side of tube wall is much smoother and what is more – the effectiveness of on-line cleaning increase.
