KOKS, your partner for high-pressure cleaning systems for tube and bundle cleaning

Heat exchangers, condensers, pipelines, cooling systems and process piping require regular cleaning to operate efficiently. At KOKS, you will find high-pressure cleaners and accessories that enable safe and effective cleaning of tubes and tube bundles. Whether you want to invest in your own cleaning equipment or prefer to rent a system for a one-off job, KOKS offers both options.​

High-pressure pipe and bundle cleaning is a specialised cleaning method in which water is jetted through pipes and tube bundles at extremely high pressure to remove stubborn contamination. This technique is widely used in industrial installations where heat exchangers, piping systems and tube bundles become fouled during operation with scale, limescale, oil, grease or other residues.
By using high-pressure water jets with pressures of up to 3,000 bar, even the most persistent deposits are effectively loosened and flushed out, without causing damage to the tube or bundle material.

Where is pipe and bundle cleaning applied?

Pipe and bundle cleaning using high-pressure water jetting is applied in a wide range of industries. Typical sectors include the (petro)chemical industry, power generation, food processing and water treatment facilities. Wherever pipes and heat exchangers play a critical role in the production process, periodic cleaning is essential.

Depending on the application and site conditions, cleaning can be performed on-site using mobile high-pressure units, or bundles can be transported to a specialised workshop for comprehensive off-site cleaning.

Equipment for high-pressure pipe and bundle cleaning

Advanced high-pressure pumps and specialised nozzles are used for pipe and bundle cleaning. These systems are capable of delivering water at extremely high pressures through pipes and heat exchanger bundles.

Depending on the type of contamination and pipe diameter, different nozzle types are applied, including rotating nozzles and dedicated bundle cleaning heads. Many systems feature automatic or semi-automatic control to ensure operator safety and consistent cleaning results. The exclusive use of water makes this method both highly effective and environmentally friendly.

High-pressure units up to 4.000 bar for pipe and bundle cleaning

KOKS offers a diverse range of high-pressure units suitable for pressure levels of up to 4,000 bar (depending on configuration). These machines are engineered for intensive industrial use and can be easily adapted to the specific requirements of pipe and bundle cleaning.

Whether you require compact units for confined spaces or powerful installations for heavy-duty applications, KOKS provides a suitable solution for every cleaning task.

Efficient bundle cleaning with automated bundle cleaners

For cleaning heat exchanger pipe bundles, specialised bundle cleaning machines are commonly used. These systems enable efficient and safe cleaning of bundles, particularly in demanding industrial environments. Automated cleaning offers additional benefits, including improved operator safety, consistent cleaning quality, reduced downtime and more efficient use of water.

Heat exchangers are often affected by persistent fouling such as:

• Scale and mineral deposits caused by hard water, reducing heat transfer efficiency
• Corrosion products such as rust and metal particles accumulating in layers
• Oil and grease deposits, common in petrochemical processes, requiring intensive cleaning
• Sludge, a mixture of solids and process residues that restrict flow
• Biofouling, the growth of bacteria and organic matter in water systems

Automated bundle cleaners are designed to remove these contaminants effectively and safely, ensuring optimal performance of the installation. KOKS does not supply this equipment as standard, but can provide suitable solutions through trusted partners.
