Q: Trigger jams allowing air to escape

Release quick release coupling. Tap CE Unit lightly against solid object.

Question 1

CE Unit will not operate:

Admin · Accepted Answer

Check safety bar and release mechanism is locked into place.

Question 2

Cleaning of T-piece:

Admin · Accepted Answer

Operator must fire into a T-Piece. Block either end to clean each side.

Question 3

Admin · Accepted Answer

Operate CE unit from one of two ends in the one continuing line.
Operate Ce unit from other end into the one continuing line.

Question 4

How do you select the correct size projectile for the job?

Admin · Accepted Answer

By using the size selecting chart on the lid of the carry case or in the manual. If neither are available choose a projectile approximately 20% larger than the ID of the hose, tube or pipe to be cleaned.

Question 5

How far will the projectiles travel in a hose, tube or pipe?

Admin · Accepted Answer

The projectiles will keep going as long as you keep the volume of air behind the projectile constant. In past tests the projectiles have traveled for more than 3kms.

Question 6

Leaking air at hose, tube, pipe or assembly entry:

Question 8

Projectile remains lodged in hose, tube, pipe or assembly:

Admin · Accepted Answer

To clear projectile operate unit from other end without using a projectile; then
Check hose, tube or pipe for leaks, holes, breakages etc.
Check restrictions in line, i.e contraction from 10mm to 5mm then expansion to 10mm
Check projectiles for tear marks
Check air pressure on air source
Check hose fittings from air source are correct
Consider using a smaller projectile.

Question 9

Projectile will not enter hose, tube, pipe or assembly:

Admin · Accepted Answer

Try a smaller projectile. Check air pressure, as compression unit may not have built up sufficient pressure.
Make sure quick release coupling is correct size. (8mm minimum is required).
Operate unit from other end.
Ensure tube entry is not restricted from process of cutting.

Question 10

Trigger jams allowing air to escape

Admin · Accepted Answer

Release quick release coupling.
Tap CE Unit lightly against solid object.

Question 11

What air Pressure is Required to Operate the system?

Admin · Accepted Answer

Just normal workshop air pressure of 85psi or 150ps, or from a portable source.

Question 12

What are the nozzles used for?

Admin · Accepted Answer

To guide the projectiles into the hose, tube or pipe to be cleaned.

Question 13

What does the Tube clean System consist of?

Admin · Accepted Answer

The tube system consists of a pneumatic launcher, two adapter rings, a set of nozzles and a high flow quick coupler, operational technical manual in a lockable carry case.

Question 14

What if the projectiles get stuck?

Admin · Accepted Answer

Place the launcher without a projectile on the other end of the hose, tube or pipe and fire the launcher. This will remove the projectile.

Question 15

Will the projectile go through 90, 180 and 360 deg bends?

Admin · Accepted Answer

Yes

Question 16

Will the projectile go through valves?

Admin · Accepted Answer

Yes, but only through ball and gate type valves.

Question 17

Will the projectiles go through T sections?
