Evaporator Tube Cleaning

A company in the food industry had problems with deposits in the tubes of their falling film evaporator installations. Light scale deposits and product residues resulted in a reduced performance/efficiency. Previously, this company mainly worked with industrial contractors to take care of the cleaning. Because of the high costs and time dependency, they started looking for a system with which they could clean the evaporator tubes themselves.

An AWT-100X tube cleaner was chosen in combination with a strong flexible shaft with water flush. The oversized nylon abrasive brushes clean and polish the tubes without damaging them. For clogged tubes, a scraper tool was used to loosen the deposits and remove the blockage.
