Tube Cleaning

Improve Performance and Safety with Automated Solutions

Tube cleaning is a challenging task for industrial cleaning, but it is an essential application that keeps your equipment free of oil, dust, debris, and marine foul. Using waterjetting, tubes can be cleaned easily and regularly, keeping operations running at peak performance.

Our tube cleaning equipment includes single, dual, and triple-lance tractors compatible with a range of high-pressure pumps. We have the equipment to tackle internal and external tube bundle cleaning with various access limitations, including in confined spaces. Our automated equipment allows operators to remotely clean tubes outside the blast zone, increasing cleaning efficiency and operator safety while saving you time and money. The versatility of our equipment allows for accurate positioning in horizontal, vertical, and enclosed tube bundles, offering portability at a cost-effective price.

The Future of Exchanger Tube Cleaning

Sentinel Automation Technology seamlessly integrates with StoneAge's AutoBox 3L tractor and uses an active sensor system to automatically position the cleaning nozzles and clean exchanger tubes end to end, even in difficult low visibility conditions.
