1- Cleaning engine oil transport piping
This video shows an internal cleaning operation, carried out by System Fluid s.r.l., of a new piping system for the distribution of engine oil inside the plant of a leading automotive manufacturer. The requirement was to remove all machining residues that could contaminate the oil and accidentally end up downstream of the filters and thus in the engine. The cleaning operation involved the repeated shooting of various Complex type projectiles which, thanks to their flexibility and surface porosity, are able to handle even the most tortuous paths and diameter restrictions in the presence of welds, effectively removing particles of different sizes.
The projectiles were gradually analyzed to measure the amount of removed residues until it was determined that the operation had achieved the desired result, according to the specifications indicated by the customer. In this case, the maximum limit was set at 1mg/linear meter of particulate. All sections reported results below the required limit. At the end of the work, a final flushing operation was carried out with washing oil in turbulent motion; this oil, taken at the end of the line, was analyzed, confirming the results already obtained.
2- Cleaning of a (new) hydraulic hose for Automotive
In this video you can see a demonstration of cleaning a hydraulic tube to be processed for use in the automotive sector.
The particles visible in the video, as well as other processing residues, are often not removed with a simple wash and remain attached to the wall of the tube throughout the processing stages, remaining present in the finished product that will then be assembled. The subsequent detachment of these particles can pose a serious risk to the reliability of the components installed on the same system.
3- Shipyard, cleaning diesel pipes from construction residues
In this video you can see how easily it was possible to clean the supply pipes that carry diesel from the tank to the ship's engine. The pipes have an internal diameter of 80mm and a length of about 100m, with a very rough and shaped path with 90° bends and various segments welded together. At the end of the installation of this piping, it is essential to clean the inside from welding residues.
Previously, the solution was to circulate diesel inside the pipe for 30 days so that its action would remove and carry away as much residue as possible. A couple of hours of work and the use of 9 projectiles were enough to gradually remove the welding residue until a satisfactory result was achieved. Laboratory analyses showed that the cleaning performed produced a better result than traditional diesel flushing, as well as saving enormous amounts of time and product.
