Cleaning system for pipework, heat exchangers and boiler tubes

The flexible driveshaft has also been improved, with the addition of a blue, food-grade covering. The flexi-drive is claimed to be so robust that a truck can drive over it. For longer tubes or pipes there is also a heavy-duty, chassis-based version of Rotaflex that can power a 20m flexi-drive. New Rotaflex machines are usually ordered with an 8m or 12m flexi- drive and a set of cleaning brushes of the customer’s choice. The flexibility and robust nature of the Rotaflex makes regular duct cleaning an easy activity to include in maintenance schedules. Boiler tube cleaning can reduce fuel consumption and increase boiler efficiency. The variety of accessories available for the Rotaflex mean that boiler tube cleaning can be carried out quickly and effectively.

Initially designed for the cleaning of mill spouts within the flour milling sector, the Rotaflex™ cleaning system has proved effective in the cleaning of pipe work, heat exchanger tubes and boiler tubes. “The Rotaflex is a sturdy, portable cleaning system that, due to the various attachments available, is able to clean various tube sizes on equipment within many different industrial sectors,” said Chris Wright, sales administrator for the Rotaflex. Rotaflex is easy for one person to operate, making it suitable for companies with limited maintenance budgets. The system features a new electronic controller that provides the required 3-phase, variable-speed power supply, and makes the Rotaflex easier to handle and move around.

“The Rotaflex has been used to unblock heat exchanger tubes at a chocolate factory, clean condenser tubes at a power station in Turkey and as part of a regular duct cleaning routine for an international fast food chain,” said Mr Wright. The Rotaflex is manufactured by Tube Tech International in the UK. Tube Tech International Ltd – UK info@tubetech.com www.tubetech.com
