The Goodway® RAM-PRO tube cleaner is a compact and lightweight system designed for cleaning heat exchanger tubes. Its small footprint and ability to operate on both 50 Hz and 60 Hz power make it particularly popular in the maritime industry, where flexibility and portability are essential.
For some of our cruise ships, we use the RAM-PRO tube cleaner of Goodway Benelux, to clean our seawater tube heat exchangers (air-conditioning condensers). The machine works excellent and is easy to operate by our engineers.
The Goodway® RAM-PRO tube cleaner is a lightweight, compact device designed for fast and effective cleaning of heat exchanger tubes. Its portability and size make it ideal for tight spaces, whether on ships or in facilities. 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 while a low-pressure water flush rinses out the loosened deposits.
While the RAM-PRO is widely used in maritime environments, such as ship engine rooms, it’s equally well-suited for HVAC/R maintenance in commercial facilities like hospitals, office buildings, and data centers, where water-cooled chillers must operate efficiently to maintain critical climate control.
One of the key advantages of the RAM-PRO tube cleaner is that the 230V model operates on both 50 and 60 Hz power frequencies, providing greater flexibility whether working on a vessel or at a land-based facility.
The RAM-PRO tube cleaner is engineered to effectively remove light to medium deposits from heat exchanger tubes. It is particularly effective against deposits such as algae, sludge, mud, and biological fouling (biofilm). Designed for versatility, the RAM-PRO can clean tubes ranging from 7 to 30 millimeters in diameter and lengths up to 10 meters.
The RAM-PRO 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 heatpumps, they are happy to help you choose the right setup.
