Steel spring filled tube cleaning brushes

Steel spring filled tube cleaning brushes

For cleaning larger‑diameter heat exchanger and boiler firetubes with heavy, hardened deposits, Goodway® steel spring‑filled tube cleaning brushes are an ideal solution. These specialized brushes use spring bristles that dig into the deposits, breaking them free from the tube wall. Depending on the application, the loosened deposits can be flushed out with water or vacuumed out when performing a dry boiler tube cleaning.

• Use these brushes to remove deposits, like: hard soot and ash, fouling incrustations, hard scale, and rust.

Practical information

• Steel spring filled tube cleaning brushes are powered by a Goodway® tube cleaner and compatible (dry or wet) flexible shafts. Depending on the model, the tube cleaner can rotate the flexible shaft at speeds between 500 and 3,000 revolutions per minute. At these high speeds, the spring bristles generate significant friction inside the tube, providing mechanical action that quickly and effectively loosens deposits.
• For optimal results and safe operation, always select the spring filled brush that matches the tube’s outer diameter. Due to the hardness of the spring bristles, Goodway Benelux does not recommend using these brushes on softer tube materials, such as brass, copper, nickel, aluminum, or titanium.

Threaded brush fittings

Steel spring filled tube cleaning brushes are available exclusively with threaded brush fittings. Since these brushes are commonly used in industrial applications requiring heavy-duty equipment, the threaded connection provides the strongest attachment and minimizes the risk of failure.
