BTC-200-001 Boiler Tube Cleaner Components
1. ABX-PRO Tractor
The Drive will feed or retract the Hose through the assembly into the boiler tube ports. The Drive can exert up to 50 lbs (23 Kg) of push when needed to clear plugged tubes or travel long distances.
2. ABX-PRO-5 Hose Containment Drive
The Hose Containment Drive is a hose drive with an air motor driving rollers to take up slack in the hose and push it into the containment drum.
3. HCS-BTC-200 Hose Containment System
The Hose Containment System remains outside of the boiler and is designed to keep the Hose managed and protected.
4. HLXR-100-001 Rotator
The Rotator aligns the Hose and water jet tool with the boiler tubes. The Rotator is comprised of an air motor drive, double worm gear reduction, overload slip clutch, and elbow. The Hose and water jet tool exit the HLXR 040 Rotator Elbow and enter the boiler tubes. Rotator extension tubes are available through StoneAge to match the internal diameter of the boiler tube. The Rotator and the Tractor allow the operator to align the Hose with each individual boiler tube before launching the Hose.
5. HLXT-100-001 Tractor Drive Assembly
The Tractor moves the entire Boiler Tube Cleaner unit forward and backward along the rail.
6. Hose Types- Standard Poly Or Helix
The Boiler Tube Cleaner comes standard with Poly rollers and 5/4 Poly hose. It can also be retrofit to accommodate Helix hose with HLXD 625 Helix Roller Kits installed in the ABX-PRO Tractor and the ABX-PRO-5 Hose Containment Drive.
