Flexible Shaft Machine
SAPSONS Flexible Shaft Machine is a heavy-duty, portable tube-cleaning system that uses an electric motor, flexible shaft and specialized cleaning tools to mechanically remove scale, sludge and deposits from industrial tubes. Its flexible shaft allows cleaning of straight as well as bent tubes, making it useful for boilers, heat exchangers, condensers, evaporators and other process equipment. With 3–7.5 HP motors, 1440/2880 RPM speeds, multiple shaft sizes and built-in electrical protection, the machine is designed for efficient, reliable and low-maintenance industrial tube cleaning.
Description
SAPSONS Flexible Shaft Machines are portable industrial tube-cleaning machines designed to remove scale, deposits, sludge and blockages from the inside of tubes used in boilers, heat exchangers, condensers, evaporators, air heaters and sugar-processing equipment.
Description
The machine uses an electric motor to transmit rotary power through a heavy-duty flexible shaft to a brush, cutter or other tube-cleaning tool. Because the shaft is flexible, it can enter both straight and curved/bent tubes while protecting the tube’s internal surface.
Main components:
- TEFC electric motor – provides continuous rotary power.
- Flexible shaft – transfers torque from the motor to the cleaning tool.
- Inner wire core – multi-layer steel-wire construction for flexibility and high torque transmission.
- Outer casing – galvanized steel casing with anti-friction lining that protects the inner core.
- Handpiece – connects the shaft to brushes or tool heads.
- Motor coupling – connects the flexible shaft to the drive unit.
- Cleaning tools/tool heads – used for descaling, cleaning and opening blocked tubes.
