AWT-100X tube cleaner

The AWT-100X tube cleaner is Goodway®’s most powerful system designed for tube cleaning of heat exchangers, boilers, and many more systems. Its combination of portability and performance makes it ideal for a wide range of industrial cleaning applications. The tube cleaner connects to a flexible shaft and brush. When the operator activates the footswitch, the brush begins to rotate, cleaning the inner surfaces of the heat exchanger tubes. Depending on the application, the system can be used with a water flush or operated without water.

Thanks to the powerful – air powered – motor in the AWT-100X, which allows for higher brush rotation speeds, the system is suitable for a wide range of industrial cleaning applications. These include cleaning tubes and pipes in shell and tube heat exchangers, water-cooled chillers, boiler firetubes, vacuum and extraction piping, and more. The system can be used with or without water, greatly expanding its versatility and application range.

One of the key features of the AWT-100X is its variable speed and torque control, which allows the system to adapt efficiently to different cleaning challenges. By adjusting the rotation speed and torque, the effectiveness of the brush or tool is optimized, resulting in improved cleaning performance.

When to use

The AWT-100X tube cleaner is engineered to effectively remove all kinds of deposits from heat exchangers, boilers firetubes, and many more systems. Designed for versatility, the AWT-100X can clean tubes ranging from 14 millimeters and up in diameter and lengths up to 10 meters.

  • Tube inner diameters from 14 millimeters and up
  • Tube lengths from 1 to 10 meters
  • Use with or without water flush
  • Cleaning water-cooled chiller tubes
  • Cleaning boiler firetubes
  • Cleaning large vacuum- and extraction piping in factories

Clockwise rotation only

The Goodway® AWT-100X tube cleaner rotates clockwise only and is therefore compatible exclusively with threaded shafts and brushes. In heavy-duty industrial applications, the threaded connection provides the strongest attachment and minimizes the risk of failure.

Tube cleaning packages

The AWT-100X tube cleaner is sold without accessories. To clean tubes, you’ll need a flexible shaft and brushes – these are essential for using the device. Optional items like repair kits are also useful, especially for quick fixes during operation.

The Goodway Benelux sales team can put together custom packages based on your needs. Whether you’re working on chillers, heat exchangers, or have a dry pipe cleaning application, they are happy to help you choose the right setup.

All reviews

After achieving limited results with traditional high-pressure cleaning methods on our wastewater evaporators, a Goodway Benelux product specialist conducted on-site testing with their tube cleaning system and a range of brush combinations to identify the optimal solution. Following the trial, we purchased Goodway®’s AWT-100X tube cleaning system with brass- and stainless steel brushes. The improvement after a mechanical cleaning with these brushes is significant; the equipment itself delivers a better cleaning result, and has allowed us to clean our evaporators in a more preventive way, leading to improved efficiency of our evaporators. Most importantly, mechanical cleaning does not damage the installation, which was the case with high-pressure cleaning. After eight months, we decided to purchase a second device from Goodway® for our evaporators at our other location. We definitely recommend it!

TWZ - Belgium

We use the Goodway Benelux AWT-100X tube cleaning system and GTC-721G flexible shafts for a yearly cleaning of our shell and tube heat exchangers on-site. The combination of the strong shafts and powerful AWT-100X tube cleaner ensures that the tubes can be cleaned very effectively without water.

Umicore NV - Belgium

We use the AWT-100X and RAM-4X tube cleaners of Goodway Benelux to provide boiler tube cleaning services at our customers. The combination of flex hub scrapers and nylon abrasive brushes makes for good cleaning results, even if the deposits are harder.

Callens - Belgium

We rented an AWT-100X tube cleaner from Goodway Benelux to clean the fire tubes in our boilers. These are normally cleaned with a different system, but the level of fouling was too high. The AWT-100X in combination with the flex hub scraper and nylon abrasive brushes is ideal for removing (hard) deposits. We received support and service from Goodway Benelux and were able to carry out the cleaning very well. It was the first time we worked with this device.

Schlossbrauerei Friedenfels GmbH - Deutschland

We have multiple large evaporators with a total of over 3.000 tubes on our production plant. Goodway Benelux combined the delivery of the evaporator tube cleaning equipment with a practical training given by their two experts to our operators. It was a good session in which we learned how to use the equipment and what it could do for us. We were immediately impressed by the effectiveness and simplicity of the equipment. Our evaporator tubes can now be cleaned on a regular basis with the correct equipment.

BENEO - Belgium

We use the AWT-100X for cleaning a shell-tube heat exchanger. Due to the adjustable brushes, both in diameter and stiffness, this is a very efficient device.

IJsfabriek Strombeek - Belgium

We have purchased an AWT-100X system and accessories from Goodway Benelux for the dry cleaning of various piping in our factory. With the heavy-duty flex hub tools and brushes it is possible to remove different types of fouling. The advantage is that the system does most of the work and we ourselves have less labor and downtime.

Belcolade NV - Belgium

We purchased the AWT-100X from Goodway Benelux to clean falling film evaporator tubes at one of our factories. After some initial testing we were able to clean the evaporator tubes ourselves easily and effectively. The equipment is powerful and allows us to remove (harder) fouling and/or blockages inside the tubes whenever necessary. After half a year, we have decided to purchase another AWT-100X system. This one will be used to clean our firetube boilers.

Bel Fromageries - Portugal

We have now had the opportunity to use the AWT-100X machine we purchased from yourselves and I am glad to say it has done a great job in a difficult environment.

Nestlé - United Kingdom

We urgently needed a complete package to clean the fire tubes of our boiler installation. We have chosen the AWT-100X device + accessories which were available the same day for pickup. The system is very powerful and easy to use. With the right accessories we have been able to get our tubes clean again. We are very satisfied with the device and accessories.

TopEggs - The Netherlands

After cleaning our fire tubes with high-pressure water, a lot of deposits remained inside the tubes. That is why we have opted for a mechanical technique to remove the deposits by means of rotating brushes and tools. An employee of Goodway Benelux helped us during the delivery with an explanation and demonstration. An extra advantage is that we will use less fuel to produce the same heat. The more deposits inside the tubes, the more energy it takes to make steam. We are satisfied.

Argent Energy - The Netherlands

We use the AWT-100X tube cleaning system as an addition to our cleaning solutions because it is not always necessary to use large machines such as a high-pressure units of 1000 bar 750 hp 260 l/minute for tube cleaning jobs. The advantage of the AWT-100X is that we can use this machine with or without water, the device does what it is supposed to do and gives us a lot of new possibilities.

Jacobs HCI - Belgium

We tested the AWT-100X on our falling film evaporators and our employees were immediately impressed. The device is light, easy and safe to use. After a short introduction, we were able to get started with the device on our own. In addition, the support of Goodway Benelux was very polite and well prepared. After the short test phase, the device was immediately ordered.
