Description

A SAPSONS Flexible Shaft Machine is an industrial tube-cleaning machine used for cleaning the inner surfaces of tubes, pipes, boilers, heat exchangers, condensers, evaporators, air heaters, and sugar-processing equipment. The machine transmits rotary power through a flexible shaft to cleaning tools such as brushes, cutters, and descaling heads, enabling effective removal of scale, deposits, and fouling from tube interiors.

The machine is designed as a portable, self-contained unit with rugged construction, making it suitable for industrial maintenance operations. It is easy to operate, requires minimal maintenance, and is built for continuous service in demanding environments.

Main Components :

1. Electric Motor – Provides rotary power for cleaning operations.
2. Flexible Shaft – Multi-layer wire core enclosed in a protective casing for transmitting torque.
3. Inner Wire Core – Multi-layer wound steel wire that transmits rotary power.
4. Outer Casing – Galvanized steel casing with anti-friction lining.
5. Handpiece – Connects the cleaning tool or brush to the shaft.
6. Motor Coupling – Connects the flexible shaft to the drive motor.
7. Tool Heads/Brushes – Used for removing soft scale, hard deposits, and blockages from tubes.

Types Available :

SAPSONS offers a wide range of configurations to suit different applications:

• Ring type (box type) – straight, offset handle
• Open jaw type – straight, offset
• Structural wrenches – tapered or tubular handle
• Castellated wrenches – for slotted/castle nuts
• Custom profiles as per customer requirements

 Size Range :

Available from 22 mm to 230 mm (7/8″ to 9-1/8″) across flats, covering light to extremely heavy-duty applications.

Applications

These wrenches are widely used in industries such as:

• Power plants
• Refineries and petrochemicals
• Mining and heavy engineering
• Railways and steel plants
• Fertilizer and thermal power industries

SAPSONS Slugging/Striking Wrenches are robust, high-impact tools built for extreme torque applications. Their combination of forged alloy steel construction, precision machining, and impact-resistant design makes them ideal for heavy industrial maintenance where standard tools are insufficient.
