Safe and Effective
The technology of hydrodynamic cleaning and flushing
with oil at turbulent flow rates provides a highly effective
method for the renewal of dirty and corroded systems to "like
new" condition while also being suitable for newly assembled
oil systems.
Hydroblasting not only disinfects the system from aging
products, old oil, protective layers or other chemicals that might
contaminate fresh oil, but also shortens the future flushing
process because most impurities are removed by water. The
small amount
of contaminants
that remain in the
system are then easy
to flush out. In addition,
hydroblasting is quite useful
before an oil exchange and permits deep
investigation of the oil system by endoscope prior to flushing.
Flushing after hydroblasting is fast and efficient, allowing a
completion date to be set and a schedule to be maintained
with no extra time needed for prolonged flushing. With this
technology, proactive maintenance based on oil analysis can
be implemented.
The method is entirely safe for the natural environment, as
pure water is the cleaning medium, and the wastewater
contains only impurities detached from the inner system
surfaces along with trace quantities of oil washed from the
system. Long-term warranties in regards to the system cleanliness are also a possibility.
