  Introducing the Little Badger™ February 2010  

Dear {FIRST_NAME|StoneAge Customer},

Superior Design Negotiates Long Sweep Elbows with Power

The StoneAge® Badger® line of tools changes everything you know about cleaning pipes with multiple bends. These tools offer tremendous pulling power and are designed to have the hardest hitting jets for increased performance. We are proud to announce the new BA-P4™, designed to handle 2” long sweep elbows. See our video below.

This new BA-P4™ has been field tested with several of our valuable customers. Here are their photos and stories:

Ron Millman of Industrial Mechanical Specialties www.imscanada.com reports his customer Mr. Luc LaForge of Water Blasting Vacuum Services of Edmunston, N.B. Canada, is “over-the-moon” happy with the performance. He has used it for 20 (hard use) hours and it has exceeded all his cleaning and durability expectations. Ron said his customer Mr. LaForge is so impressed with the tool, he’s ordering 5 complete units so he has one with each of his pumps.

Andrew Birt of Aquapower www.aquapower.uk.com worked with Mr David Forbes of Sureclean www.sureclean.co.uk in England. Mr. Forbes stated “We found that the new Badger® went round 2” bends (limited to 25ft) with no issues, with a good positive pull into the pipe. We also ran the Badger® up on a test frame, with the hose fixed in position, so we could see the Badger® spin. “ Mr Forbes also provided StoneAge with valuable field input with suggestions on additional inlet sizes and eliminating adaptors for greater customer service.

TOOL TALK™ - Pipe Cleaning Tool Choices

The first step in selecting a pipe cleaning tool to determine what tool will fit into the pipe being cleaned, and whether the pipe is straight or has elbows. The next consideration is the deposit to be cleaned and selecting a tool that is capable of the pressure and flow rate to be used. Depending on the difficulty of the material to be removed, the use of centralizers and extension arms may be needed to decrease stand-off distance, improving jet impact in larger pipes. Once the tool is selected, determine jet placement in the head of the tool. How much pulling force is required to make the run and whether the pipe has scale or is partially or fully blocked will determine the location and number of orifices in the cleaning head. Finally, select the rotation speed of the head based on the size of the pipe and the nature of the deposit to be removed. Typically use faster rotation speeds in pipes up to 36 in, and slower rotation speeds in larger pipes or if the deposit is very thick and hard requiring more dwell time.
