RAM-4X-2 Tube Cleaner (Extra Heavy Duty)

Introduction RAM-4X-2

The RAM-4X-2 is the upgrade of the RAM-4X Tube Cleaner. This is often used for dry cleaning processes. Because this is Goodway's strongest electric Tube Cleaner, this system is often used for the toughest type of work. Where a lot of torque, power and speed is needed. Think of cleaning before:

• Boiler and Flame Pipes
• Catalyst pipe bundles
• Flue gas coolers
• (Production) Pipes/Tubes

In combination with the right tools (see related articles) this machine is able to remove heavy pollution from pipe bundles and other piping systems without using water (is also possible with water). 

This machine has a Heavy-Duty dolly, which makes it easy to move the system. With an engine power of 2 HP there is quite a bit of power behind it, which is also necessary for heavy cleaning projects. The system has a fixed speed of 1725 RPM. 

Methodology Mechanical Cleaning

The method of mechanical cleaning always consists of at least (1) a machine, (2) a flexible shaft and (3) a brush or HD tool. Below is a short video, where the method is explained by us. Note that water is used here, when cleaning boilers, flame pipes and the like, this is of course done dry (with special flexible shafts).

Combi Deals/Product Bundles

In the field of dry cleaning processes, the method always consists of at least (1) a Tube Cleaning machine, (2) a black flexible shaft and (3) a Heavy Duty Tool. In principle, it is also necessary to dispose of loose dirt during cleaning. Where this is done with water in a water-cooled condenser, we also have equipment/options for this for the dry cleaning processes. For this we recommend the following systems:

• Vacuum Dust and Water Vacuum Cleaner
• Coupling suction

On the right side of this page are a number of combi deals. The first product bundle is a basic package for boiler cleaning, without such extraction. Combi deal 2 contains the complete package to clean boiler and flame pipes + suck off the loose dirt directly. Of course you can also just order the items separately, however, the product bundles can steer you in the right direction.

Specifications RAM-4X-2

Alternative Tube Cleaners

When choosing an electric machine, there are several alternatives to the RAM-4X-2. The RAM-4X-2 is basically the heaviest and most expensive machine of the RAM-4 series:

• RAM-4
• RAM-4X
• RAM-4X-2

Apart from the power there are few other big differences in the RAM-4 series. We often see that the RAM-4 is also used for wet cleaning projects in more than 50% of the cases. Think of cleaning condensers on ships. The RAM-4X and RAM-4X-2, on the other hand, are mainly used for boiler cleaning and such dry projects, due to the extra power of the Tube Cleaning machine. All 3 machines have a strong dolly (mobile) and a fixed speed.

You may also prefer a pneumatically driven Tube Cleaner. The first option is the AWT-100, which is very compact and small in size. The upgrade is our AWT-100X, which is our most sold Tube Cleaner. This is by far our most powerful machine, and is therefore often used in the toughest projects. Think of pipe cleaning processes in the Food and Petrochemical industry, or large catalyst pipe bundles.
