AutoPack 1L packages combine the AutoBox 1L dual-belt tractor, Compass radial positioner, and supporting controls for automated single-lance cleaning of heat exchangers, condensers, evaporators, and other industrial tube bundles. The compact, modular platform supports controlled lance feeding and positioning across horizontal, vertical, and confined-space applications.
Key Features
- Dual-Belt Lance Control: Delivers dependable traction and controlled feeding for longer runs and demanding tube-cleaning work.
- Compass Positioning: Radial indexing helps move the lance from tube to tube from one mounting position, reducing repositioning during the job.
- Flexible Automation: The family supports straightforward pneumatic control or Sentinel-enabled lance tracking, operating data, and repeatable cleaning performance.
- Two Motor Profiles: The 300 RPM drive prioritizes pulling force for heavier fouling and vertical work, while the 500 RPM drive prioritizes feed speed for lighter deposits and standard cleaning.
- Field-Ready Package: Tractor, positioner, controls, and supporting job accessories are organized as an integrated system for efficient setup and deployment.

PERFORMANCE & POWER for the Toughest Tube Cleaning Jobs
AutoBox 1L tractors deliver the strength and consistency you need to take on any job — from tight refinery bundles to tall vertical exchangers.
Our dual-belt drive system provides unmatched torque and traction, ensuring smooth, reliable lance feeding in any orientation.
Choose your power profile with air motor options engineered for precision control:
-
300 RPM: Maximum torque for heavily fouled or vertical applications that demand extra pulling force
-
500 RPM: Higher cleaning speed for standard operations and lighter deposits
Every detail — from lightweight modular components to toolless assembly — helps crews clean more exchanger tubes per shift with less downtime and fatigue. AutoPacks deliver the power, control, and safety features to clean smarter from day one.
PRODUCTIVITY by design
AutoBox tractors are engineered to adapt, because no two cleaning environments are alike. Whether you’re cleaning horizontal bundles in a refinery pit or vertical exchangers in a pulp mill, the AutoBox 1L system fits right in, delivering the same StoneAge performance and reliability everywhere you take it.
- Dual-belt drive delivers more power and torque for longer runs and heavier hoses
- Handles a wide range of lance sizes (up to 8–4) for heavily fouled or high-deposit exchangers
- Compact, lightweight components make transport and setup a one-person job, even in tight or elevated spaces
- Common architecture and accessories make upgrading seamless, not starting from scratch
Simplify setup. Maximize uptime. Do more with less.
