Tube Cleaning Accessories, Brushes, & Color Coded Scrubbers

Nylon Brushes – Recommended for removing soft scales in straight, non-ferrous tubes (copper, brass, plastic), and ferrous (stainless steel, carbon steel) and for final ‘finishing’ of tubes.

Brass Brushes – Recommended for removing soft and light scale deposits in straight, non-ferrous tubes.

Stainless Steel Brushes – Recommended for removing soft and light scale deposits in straight, ferrous tubes.

Carbon Steel Brushes – Recommended for removing soft and light scale deposits in straight, ferrous tubes.

Plastic Brushes – Recommended for removing soft deposits in straight, ferrous and non-ferrous tubes and for final ‘finishing’ up of cleaning in hoses, tubes and pipes.

Drill Tip Double Diameter Brushes

These brushes are used to clean internally grooved tubes. The drill tip of brushes cleans through hard scale before the brush cleaning action takes over. The large diameter of this brush, cleans into the grooves of the tubes and the small diameter into the lands of the tube’s rifling.

Circular Brush Tools

For Straight Tubes – These tools consist of 4 stainless steel circular brushes that are mounted on a shaft and connected to a Universal Joint. These tools are used to clean soft to medium scales. Replacement circular brushes can be ordered when wear starts.

For Curved Tools – These tools consist of 2 stainless steel circular brushes that are mounted onto a Double Universal Joint for maximum flexibility. These tools are used to clean soft to medium scales. Replacement circular brushes can be ordered when wear starts.

Buffing Tools

Buffing tools are used for final polishing or removal of light and soft deposits from ferrous and non-ferrous tubes that have been previously cleaned. Used in straight or very large radius tubes in a clockwise direction only.

Carbide Drills

Carbide drills are used for cleaning tubes choked solidly with hard deposits.

Cone Cutter Tools

These tools use patented ergocentric cutters to clean hard scale from typically larger tubes that are found in boilers. The ergocentric cutters ensure that the same tooth does not touch the same spot when cleaning and prevents grooves being formed in the tube scale. All cone cutter tools are fitted with universal joints to negotiate bends in curved tubes.

One Cone Tool – These consist of 1 cone fitted onto a universal joint and are used when scale build up is not severe.

Two Cone Tool – These consist of 2 cones fitted onto a universal joint and are used when scale build up is severe.

Three Cone Tool – These consist of 3 cones fitted onto a base which is fitted with a universal joint and are used for cleaning larger tubes where scale build up is severe.

Combination Cone-Carbide Drill Tool

These combination tools use the extreme hardness of a carbide drill coupled with the ergocentric cleaning properties of cone cleaning cutters to drill through and simultaneously clean tubes that are choked with very hard deposits.

Scraper Tools

Scraper tools use scrapper blades that ‘fly out’ when the tool is rotated, coming into contact with scale and scraping it out. These tools can be coupled with brushes for simultaneous ‘finishing’ of the cleaning operation as with carbide drills to initially drill through tubes that have very hard deposits.

Cylinder Cutter Tools

These tools are used typically in boilers and other larger tubes that have a light to medium deposit. These tools use patented ergonomic cutting wheels that ensure the same tooth of the cutter wheel does not touch the same spot when cleaning. This prevents grooves being formed in the tube scales. The cutters ‘fly out’ when the tool is rotated and perform cleaning action.

Wing Tools

Stiff Arm Cutter – Use long stiff arms with patented cone cutters on their ends, that spread out when rotated. these tools are used to clean light to medium deposits in large diameter tubes and pipes.

Flexible Arm Cutter – Similar in operation to the Stiff Arm Winged Tools, but patented cone cutters are attached onto flexible arms. These tools are used in typically very large vertical pipes and are used in cleaning pipes from top to bottom.

Flexible Arm-Carbide Ball Tip – Similar in operation to the Flexible Arm Cutter Wing Tools except these use carbide balls for removing light scale in large diameter tubes and pipes.

Flexible Nylon Rod – Fitted with abrasive nylon rods that spread out when rotated. These tools are used to clean light deposits in thin tubes and pipes of exotic materials where damage to tubes is to be avoided.
