Aquilex HydroChem is the only supplier to bring true robotic automation to heat exchanger cleaning with our breakthrough Synchronized Tools and Robotic System (STARSSM). By introducing computer-controlled tube lancing, STARS improves the reliability, speed and safety of heat exchanger cleaning and reduces the wasted downtime:
- Reliability – From the first to the last tube, STARS delivers consistent cleaning power and uses “Teach and CleanSM” technology to make sure that no tubes are missed or need to be recleaned.
- Speed – The technology decreases the time needed to move from tube to tube, eliminates operator fatigue and reacts to tube anomalies faster, improving the overall process speed.
- Safety – The only truly robotic, automated process available today, STARS takes our and your headcount out of the line of fire, improving the overall safety of your operations.
