Pipe cleaning combines jet action with controlled feed
Inside pipes and lines, deposits must be released and carried out of the system. Nozzle arrangement, back-jetting, rotary motion, and feed rate all affect cleaning action and tool travel. For longer or more complex pipe runs, mechanical guidance of the hose or lance becomes a significant part of the system.
Tank cleaning requires defined area coverage
Rotating tank-cleaning heads move one or more water jets across the interior surfaces. Positioning, rotation kinematics, vessel geometry, and internals determine whether every area is reached adequately. Large or complex vessels can require individually engineered guidance systems.
Reaction force and access are controlled by design
Tool guidance and reaction-force absorption are both safety- and process-relevant for interior cleaning tasks. Free-hanging tools, guide carriages, feed devices, or mechanical positioning systems are selected according to the geometry and the required degree of automation.
Key planning data
- Pipe diameter, length, bends, and access — or vessel dimensions and internals
- Type, thickness, and adhesion of the deposits
- Permitted surface condition after cleaning
- Available openings and options for tool positioning
- Process water and discharge of solids and cleaning medium
- Explosion protection or special material requirements, where relevant
