Dry pipe cleaning
Specialized equipment for cleaning the inner side of vacuum- and extraction piping in various factories and production plants, without the use of water.
Vacuum- and extraction piping
Vacuum and extraction piping systems are commonly found throughout industrial and production facilities, where they play a crucial role in removing dust, fumes, or product residue. These systems will accumulate fouling over time as airborne particles and materials settle inside the pipes. In severe cases, buildup will obstruct over 70% of the internal diameter, significantly reducing airflow and compromising hygiene standards depending on the application.
Fouling issues of vacuum- and extraction piping
Many factories and production facilities contain extensive piping networks. Piping systems used for vacuum or extraction applications are particularly susceptible to fouling and buildup. Keeping these pipes clean is essential to maintain optimal airflow and system performance.
Over time, dust and product residues can accumulate inside the piping. In severe cases, buildup can restrict flow by more than 70%, leading to reduced efficiency, increased energy consumption, and potential hygiene concerns, depending on the application.
- Reduced flow rate: Accumulated deposits restrict airflow, decreasing system capacity.
- Increased energy consumption: The vacuum system must work harder to maintain the same airflow through fouled piping, resulting in higher energy usage.
Fouling buildup in piping
During the production process, vacuum and extraction piping is used for a wide range of applications. In most cases, these systems help maintain a clean production environment by removing dust, particles, and residue from the workspace.
Because these systems operate at high flow rates and run throughout the facility, deposits can begin to accumulate – especially at bends and elbows in the piping. Over time, these small buildups form layers that make it easier for additional material to stick. Eventually, this can lead to severe blockages, resulting in reduced airflow and system performance.
- Product accumulation: Materials tend to get stuck at bends in the piping and gradually build up over time. As fouling increases, additional buildup occurs more easily, accelerating blockages.
- Reduced flow: As deposits accumulate, airflow through the piping decreases, lowering overall system efficiency.
Improve airflow in piping
Keeping vacuum and extraction piping clean is essential to maintain high airflow and ensure overall system efficiency. Goodway Benelux provides rotary pipe cleaning equipment designed to effectively remove internal deposits from piping systems.
Using high-speed rotating brushes and tools, a wide range of deposits can be removed – without the use of water. This dry cleaning method keeps the process clean, efficient, and low-maintenance.
- No water required: Rotating brushes loosen deposits from the pipe walls, while the system’s airflow carries them away – eliminating the need for water.
- Easy to use: Equipment is designed for simple operation, allowing factory personnel to perform cleanings in-house and reduce reliance on external contractors.
- Clean on your schedule: Since operators can carry out cleanings themselves, maintenance can be performed quickly and at the most convenient times within the production schedule.
