Rigid Lance Machine

Rigid Lance Machine arranged for horizontal heat exchanger tube cleaning with remote control box and lance supports

Rigid Lance Machine

Rigid Lance Machine automates horizontal and vertical tube cleaning for heat exchangers, evaporators, condensers, and other industrial tube bundles. A remotely operated positioner advances rotary rigid lances through the tubes, keeping operators away from the splash-back zone while delivering the forward jet force needed for difficult deposits.

Key Features:

  • Remote Operation: Control lance travel and rotation from up to 25 ft (7.6 m) away from the cleaning area.
  • Complete Tube Coverage: Adjustable feed rate and lance stops help clean the full tube length while protecting the lances during retraction.
  • Horizontal or Vertical Setup: Steering, tilt, adjustable supports, and a modular rail system adapt the machine to varied exchanger orientations and bundle sizes.
  • Stable Lance Guidance: Dual coil springs, guide blocks, rear supports, wheels, and jack stands support controlled alignment and travel.
  • Scalable Reach: Rail extensions and support options expand the operating window for long tubes and large bundles.
