Banshee AE

Banshee 13 mm AE tube-cleaning tool with automated-equipment head, angled product view

Banshee AE

Banshee AE tube-cleaning packages combine the proven Banshee water-bearing rotary body with specialized heads developed for automated flexible-lance equipment. The family is designed for unplugging, cleaning, and polishing heat exchangers, condensers, evaporators, and other industrial tube bundles while maintaining the durability and serviceability required for demanding field work.

Key Features

  • Purpose-Built for Automation: AE head patterns redirect thrust flow into additional cleaning jets for use with automated lance systems.
  • Application-Focused Heads: Replaceable polisher, unplugger, and universal head options support different deposits and cleaning objectives.
  • Water-Bearing Rotation: High-pressure water acts as a liquid bearing, eliminating conventional ball bearings, seals, and lubricants.
  • Tapered Profile: The compact head geometry supports efficient travel through tubes and into blocked material.
  • Stainless Steel Construction: Built for durability and long service life in industrial tube-cleaning environments.

Heads available for Manual Cleaning and Automated Equipment applications

Standard Banshee Heads

The industry standard for cleaning the inner diameters of tubes in industrial tube bundles and heat exchangers. Suitable for manual or automated applications.

  • Ideal for unplugging, cleaning and polishing tubes
  • Rear jets thrust tool forward inside tube
  • Effectively remove thin, hard scale, carbons, coke, and polymers
  • Polisher, Unplugger, and Universal options available

Banshee Heads for Automated Equipment

With jet power focused completely on cleaning rather than pulling, greater efficiency is achieved in less time thus using less water, less fuel, and generating less waste. 

  • Designed specifically for use with Automated Equipment
  • Reconfigured jetting pattern increases unplugging/polishing power by 10%
  • Interchangeable with standard heads and compatible with existing Banshee tools
  • Polisher, Unplugger, and Universal options available

Not all tools are created equal

The reason Banshee nozzles have dominated tube cleaning for nearly two decades comes down to engineering.

Tools may look similar on the outside, but it’s the engineering on the inside that matters. The patented StoneAge Banshee is the only tool in the industry with a direct path for water flow which is critical to reduce pressure loss and deliver more cleaning power.

MORE POWER MEANS BETTER CLEANING AND FASTER RESULTS.


Banshee Rotary Cleaning Nozzles

The most trusted tube cleaning tools in the industry — FOR 20 YEARS STRONG

The Banshee is the industry's most effective self-rotating nozzle for cleaning the inner diameters of tubes of industrial tube bundles and heat exchangers. The Banshee's extremely durable and long-lasting stainless-steel construction utilizes patented liquid bearing technology activated by high water pressure.
