Outside Bundle Cleaner

Ozest have the outside bundle cleaner XL. This system was developed in cooperation with several high pressure cleaning specialists in order to bring you a safe and efficient cleaning machine to clean the outside of your bundles fast, safe and easy.

The tube bundle is placed on two optional heavy duty rollers, which can be controlled from the cabin of the operator. The bundles are being cleaned by means of a horizontally driven nozzle bar, which can also move vertically and towards the bundle to get the best cleaning results. The right combination of water pressure (up to an optional 1500 bar) and flow, removes scaling, coke, polymers, etc. without the use of any additional cleaning materials.

The outside bundle cleaner XL has a horizontal stroke of 11 metres and the maximum height is 2.70 metres. The speed is adjustable from the cabin from 0-1 m/sec in order to get the best cleaning results.

All hydraulic controls are placed in the cabin where the operator can sit comfortably and safely without being exposed to the dirt coming back from the bundle. The power pack is situated behind the cabin, easily accessible and all hydraulic hoses are fitted with quick connectors for easy transportation.

As an machine can handle a lot more water to clean in between the tubes, the bundle can be cleaned all the way up to the centre and the risks for accidents is down to a minimum.
Safety

Because the operator can only operate the unit from the cabin, he is well protected from any dirt or high pressure water exiting from the tubes. An emergency shut off valve is also fitted in the cabin and the whole assembly has been build according to the latest CE regulations. All hydraulic cylinders and motors are fitted with safety valves.
Efficiency

Because of the variable speed control and the possibility to control all movements from the cabin, the outside bundle cleaner is a simple and effective machine, witch will prove to be also very cost effective. The unit can easily be dismantled into 3 pieces for easier transportation and in order to save space. The unit is completely equipped with quick connectors for easy removal of all hydraulic hoses.

Inside Bundle Cleaner IBC-5

In order to meet the demands of high pressure cleaning contractors, Ozest haveInside Bundle Cleaner. The IBC 5 is one of the fastest cleaning machines in the world today and has been designed to clean a large number of bundles on the cleaning slab, during shutdowns.

Our goal was to design a machine which can be fully operated from inside the cabin by 1 operator, in a very simple and efficient way. From the cabin, the operator can control the up/down/left/right movement with a simple joystick, the rollers can be turned, the outriggers can be operated and the lancebed can be moved forward and backwards ± 60 cm. The lancebed has been created out of 10 meter long T-bars, which give a perfect guide for the lances and at the same time avoid dirt from remaining in the lancebed.

Adjustment of the pitch is done by tightening nuts, which keeps the pitch fixed at all times and because the lance bed and the pitch are not covered, it is very clear to see for the operator if his lances are in the right position. The chains, which drive the lances, are located in a tray with a Teflon liner to avoid damage to the metal and the chain is being tensioned by a tandem construction, which avoids the chain from slapping against the metal.

The length of the lances which move into the tubes can be set by using sensors, to prevent lances from damaging and entering too far. Especially in cases with hairpin bundles, this can be very effective. At the same time, the hydraulic power to move the lances forward can be adjusted, to prevent the lances from breaking in case of a blockage. In case there is a problem with a hose or a lance, they can be replaced in a matter of minutes by removing the guide pieces at the front.
Safety

In order to make the machine as safe as possible, we have made 2 standard emergency stops on the machine, 1 inside the cabin and 1 outside at the backside. If you enter with the lances inside a tube, all other hydraulic controls will be blocked. The cabin will lock itself at any height when there is a hydraulic failure during lifting/lowering. The machine has been build according to the latest CE regulations.
Efficiency

Due to the weight of the machine and its speed of the lances, it is a very stable and fast machine which has enough power to clean bundles very fast and therefore cost effective. All controls are located inside the cabin, next to the operator, to create an unobstructed view and comfortable working position.

Aerial Tube Bundle Extractor

A fast, safe and self contained unit to deal with all your bundle extracting problems.

Ozesthave Aerial Tube Bundle Extractor is a self contained unit, which is easily lifted into position by just one crane and can be operated by remote control. Because the unit is equipped with a small diesel engine, it can work independently at any place. The Extractor is standard equipped with a spark arrestor and it can even be equipped with a chalwin valve to make it possible to work even in dangerous areas.
The standard extractor is 8.00m in length and weighs 8,5T. It is suitable for use on all plate and tube heat exchangers up to 2.00m diameter and a maximum bundle weight of 40T. In case you might need a bigger or a smaller extractor, Peinemann can also make custom made extractors to suit your needs.
The Aerial Tube Bundle Extractor uses a special lifting frame, which is constructed in such a way that it has a maximum reach into the construction. The load is trimmed using a Aerial balancing cylinder which makes it also easy to off load the bundles when the extractor is put down on the ground. Due to the use of a pulling hook mechanism and 2 butt plates which are clamped against the extractor’s shell, the massive power of 50.000kgf is compensated against the shell flange and not against the structure. With over 10 years of experience in the field of bundle extracting, you can always count on ozest as your partner.
