Tube and hose cleaning technology Tube Clean GmbH, Switzerland, has launched the Bison 4000, a technology to clean tube, pipe and hose. The Bison 4000 offers advantages in operator friendliness and productivity, and can be operated either manually or in a fully automated production line. In automated mode a firing rate within 1.7 seconds can be achieved. The system is based on a modular concept. Various hoppers can be loaded with special formulated PU-foam projectiles to clean the internal diameter of tubes, hoses and pipes sized from 2.5 to 32mm. The system can be operated either as a dry, wet, or wet and dry process. Known solvents are injected into the cleaning projectiles, and a Siemens control unit regulates the automatic process. Operating steps such as volume control of solvent and number of projectiles are performed via touch screen. Component changes take less than two minutes.
