Internal Tube Washer | MSD-ITW
Manufactured to clean the inside of tubes and cylinders prior to reassembly. Our tube washer uses ATF or any other hydraulic fluid for washing and flushing thus eliminating the need for rinsing. The washer rolls easily, on four casters, and is positioned at the end of our Disassembly Table that is used to hold the cylinder.
The MSD-ITW (internal tube washer) is manufactured to clean the inside of tubes and cylinders prior to reassembly. Our tube washer uses ATF or any other hydraulic fluid for washing and flushing thus eliminating the need for rinsing. The washer rolls easily, on four casters, and is positioned at the end of our Disassembly Table that is used to hold the cylinder. The hand held pistol grip drive and oil pump are air operated for safe and trouble free use with a single power source.
Key Features
- Our tube washer is positioned directly under the cylinder end. The splash shield (A) prevents oil spray and mess and easily swings up and out of the way for ease of cylinder positioning.
- Pneumatic drive unit (B).
- A dual self-retracting nylon hose assembly (C) keeps the air and oil lines off the floor and conveniently stored for a safe working environment.
- Large 10-micron secondary filter (D).
- Air-powered twin-diaphragm pump (E) delivers 6 GPM @ 100 PSI for thorough washing, cleaning and flushing.
- Pilot-operated air valve (F) automatically starts the air pump when the trigger is pulled on the drive unit.
- Air inlet (G) to provide power for fluid washing and rotational drive.
- Drive extensions (H) are supplied in 48” and 96” lengths and are easily assembled with locking quick-disconnects.
- A small brush holder and complete set of brushes (I) from 3” to 7” diameter are supplied.
Three Stage Filter System
The first stage is a heavy duty, 40-micron filter roll (J) that can be advanced to expose new media as contaminants build up in the roll. The second stage is a magnetic sheet (K) under the filter roll to remove the larger ferrous materials. The final stage is a 10-micron spin-on hydraulic filter (L) in the lower cabinet. It cleans the oil coming out of the pump, prior to washing and flushing the cylinder tube.
Long Wall Tube Cleaner | MSD-ITW-LW
Built to clean the inside of tubes and cylinders prior to reassembly, the MSD-ITW-LW tube cleaner is an air-powered system designed to clean the inside diameter of hydraulic cylinder tubes with brushes and a solvent. Capacity is from 10 feet to 100 feet in length, and bore diameters from 3 inch to 12 inch.
The MSD-ITW-LW (long wall) system is similar to the standard MSD internal tube cleaning system. The standard MSD-ITW contains a 20 gallon solvent tank with an air powered solvent pump and 10-micron filtration. It can be ordered with a pneumatic drive, extensions and brushes for shorter cylinders up to 10 ft long. The long wall system uses a modified MSD-ITW tank assembly with the air-powered head to clean out cylinders up to 100 ft long.
The MSD-ITW-LW package with the MSD-ITW makes cleaning large and long cylinders much easier. Our airpowered package is a user friendly and safe way to remove honing oil and machining debris from long tubes.
The MSD-ITW-LW is available in special sizes to meet your needs.
- Large wash head 6” to 12” diameter with a variable speed air motor.
- Small wash head range 3” to 6-1/2” diameter with a geared air motor.
- Twin 3/8” hose reel with 50-foot capacity mounted on extension stand.
- Interchangeable brush holder with six brush slots.
- Front brush holder for blind bores.
- Modified MSD-ITW-LW tank assembly.
The air powered ITW-LW has two lines from the hose reel, one for air to drive the brush and one for solvent pumped by the diaphragm pump in the ITW. The hand-fed air motor assembly makes the brush head rotate to dislodge contamination from the tube. The system uses Daraclean 236 biodegradable, re-usable solvent for the cleaning process. The cleaning solution is pumped through a 10-micron filter and into the brush head to dislodge and flush out the contaminants. The exhaust port of the air motor is extended backwards to prevent any foaming and misting of the cleaning solvent. The solvent flows out of the cylinder tube and back into the ITW wash cart. The solvent is pre-cleaned in the ITW cart by a 40-micron paper filter and a magnetic pad under the filter paper to collect any large metal flakes.
