Gopher 40k cartridge-style unplugger shown upright with its forward-hitting head

Gopher 40k / 2800 bar - UNPLUGGER

The Gopher is a speed-controlled, self-rotary cleaning tool for straight evaporator tubes, liquor lines, and small-diameter process piping. It delivers full internal coverage in tubes and pipes as small as 2 in. (51 mm), cutting through coke, polymers, coatings, latex, and other stubborn deposits.

Key Features:

  • Controlled Rotation: Adjustable speed supports effective jet dwell time and consistent circumferential cleaning.
  • Application-Focused Heads: Polishing heads prepare tube surfaces for IRIS inspection, while unplugging heads concentrate forward-hitting power on blockages.
  • Flexible Jetting: Re-jet the tool to balance pulling force and forward impact for changing job conditions.
  • Field Serviceability: External fluid-fill access and straightforward nozzle changes reduce service time.
