Tube Cleaning

Improve Performance and Safety with Automated Solutions

Cleaning tube bundles, heat exchangers, evaporators, and condensers is a complex yet essential process to maintain efficient industrial operations by removing oil, dust, debris, and marine fouling. StoneAge offers innovative solutions through advanced waterjetting technology that ensures tubes are cleaned easily and consistently, supporting optimal equipment performance. Our automated tube cleaning systems, featuring single-, dual-, and triple-lance tractors compatible with a variety of high-pressure pumps, are designed to address both internal and external tube bundle cleaning, even in challenging and confined spaces.

By enabling remote cleaning outside the blast zone, our equipment enhances operational efficiency and prioritizes operator safety, reducing downtime and costs. The versatility of our systems ensures precise cleaning of horizontal, vertical, and enclosed tube bundles while providing a portable and cost-effective solution tailored to meet diverse industrial needs.

SENTINEL: 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.
