Helio HME-500 Portable Tube Cleaner

The HME-500 Portable Tube Cleaner is a lightweight and portable tube cleaning machine designed for cleaning tubes with internal diameters ranging from 1/4" to 1" (6.4 mm to 25.4 mm). It is ideal for cleaning heat exchangers, condensers, chillers, evaporators, boilers, and other tubular equipment, making it an excellent choice for routine industrial maintenance.

Its compact design allows maintenance personnel and service contractors to easily transport the unit between job sites, making it suitable for facilities with multiple heat exchanger systems or on-site maintenance work.

How It Works

The HME-500 is simple to set up and operate:

1. Plug the power cable into a suitable electrical outlet.
2. Connect the air-actuated foot switch.
3. Attach the appropriate flexible shaft and cleaning tool.
4. Turn on the water supply and begin cleaning.

The air-actuated foot switch controls both the electric motor and the water flow. As the flexible shaft rotates inside the watertight casing, it drives the attached brush or cleaning tool through the tube. Water is discharged at the cleaning head to continuously flush away loosened scale, sludge, and other deposits during the cleaning process, improving efficiency and reducing downtime.
