A Look Back at the Industrial Plumber

The invention of the drain snake auger nearly a century ago heralded a new era in drain cleaning that made the job of industrial cleaning technicians immeasurably easier. While cleaning out a drain once required completely digging up a buried pipe and physically removing roots or obstructions, the sewer snake auger allowed industrial plumbers to get things flowing again without much trouble.

While the drain snake is still widely used today when it comes to cutting blockages out of underground pipes, there are some types of blockages that are simply too tough for it to handle.

Water-Jetting Makes It Easier

Built up layers of grease and large pieces of sediment can't be cleaned out by a simple drain snake, but instead requires the strong blast of a high-pressure water jet system. The high-pressure water jet, is often used to clean out drains and pipes in a plethora of industrial and commercial environements. The process is environmentally friendlygrease out of restaurant sewer lines, and for other vital functions.

How Water Jetting Works

1. The ultra-high pressure pump or intensifier generally pressurizes normal tap water at pressure levels above 40,000 psi (2760 bar); to produce the energy required for cutting.

2. Water is then focused through a small precious stone orifice to form an intense cutting stream. The stream moves at a velocity of up to 2.5 times the speed of sound, depending on how the water pressure is exerted.

Industries We Serve

Power Generation Companies - High Pressure Jetting

High pressure water jetting is particularly proficient at reducing decontamination of fuel capsules, skips, cold cutting, flash from pre-heater tubes and equipment. Other applications include the cleaning of debris and contamination from the pool, insulators, boiler tubes, vehicles and machinery

Industrial Companies - High Pressure Jetting

High pressure water jetting removes rust and varnish prior to re-coating. This process also reduces grease and oil from pipe threads for inspection, drilling mud and debris in various pipes.

Manufacturing - High Pressure Jetting

The environmentally friendly technique of wetter jetting allows for the cleaning of pipes and other out of the "line of sight" areas. In most cases, the need for expensive dismantling can be avoided.

Automotive Industry - High Pressure Jetting

Hundreds of vehicle plants around the world rely on high-pressure water jetting technology to eliminate flaking paint and contamination while reducing labor and maintenance costs. A clean paint booth is a critical first step in minimizing defects and warranty claims.

Pharma Industries - High Pressure Jetting

High pressure water jetting is an ideal industrial cleaning method in the pharmaceutical industry. High pressure water jets clean chemicals from pipes, kettles, tubes, heat exchangers, reactors, filters and evaporators.

Food Industry - High Pressure Jetting

Grease and waste build up causes slow drainage and blockages which can result in unsanitary back up conditions. To keep pipes clear, we provide high pressure water jetting solutions. These efficient and environmentally safe methods are used to scour and remove grease, sludge and other debris from the inside surfaces of all types of lines.
