Rigid Lance Cleaning System
The Rigid Lance Cleaning System is an innovative ridged lancing system to clean heat exchanger tube bundles by means of (ultra) high pressure water jets. The RLC is a modular designed machine easy to adapt to any length and suitable for a maximum working pressure of 3000 bar. The RLC is the machine for removal of hard plugs, scaling and general cleaning of heat exchangers.
The basis of the system is an aluminum rail with gear rack on which a modular rotating lancing carriage drives the lances in and out the heat exchanger tubes. For positioning the lances in front of the heat exchanger, the system comes with an X-Y Positioner. This X-Y Positioner consists of a removable wheel kit, support stands / legs and scaffolding guides for vertical application. For stability, the system can be equipped with a rear support for both horizontal and vertical applications.
On the lance carriage, you will find the Modular Lance Rotation Drive Unit. This modular block can be converted to rotate 1, 2, 3 or 5 high pressure lances in any pressure range. For controlling all functions, the machine comes with an operating panel, placing the operator out of the line of fire. The system is standard fully air powered, however a hydraulic version is available on request.
