Ultra Lancing Machine The Jet Edge Ultra Lancing Machine is a rotary-powered tool that utilizes ultra-high pressure (UHP) waterjets to effectively remove deposits and blockages from interior surfaces of tubular structures such as heat exchangers and pipes. The precisely controlled insertion, retraction and rotation speeds result in a perfectly cleaned inner surface. The Ultra Lancing Machine is powered by a Jet Edge UHP intensifier pump that supplies 36,000 psi (2,500 bar) water to a 0-1500 rpm rotary swivel that transfers UHP water into the rotating lance. The lance advances into the tube using a variable speed air vane motor. The UHP waterjet stream exits through the small orifices in the nozzle tip. The nozzle tip can be continuously rotated requiring few jets to completely cover the surface. A wide selection of standard tips in a variety of jet patterns facilitate debris removal and flushing are available. The system uses efficient water blasting techniques, allowing the operator to stay away from the UHP waterjet stream, and requires less manpower than alternative methods. Elimination of product splash back reduces fatigue, resulting in a safer, more alert crew. The low volume of UHP water produces better cleaning results with less waste disposal than alternative methods.
