Stauff tube cleaning systems are tools used to clean the inner part of pipes, hoses, and tubes. During passing fluids through the installed pipes, tubes, or hoses, contaminants may get stuck in the inner part, thereby causing some obstruction or clogging which disrupts the fluid flow. However, with the use of Stauff tube cleaning systems, maintenance and removal of dirt can be easily carried out. Stauff tube cleaning systems can work with different pipeline configurations. Specifically, pipe sizes ranging from 6mm to 60 mm can be cleaned using this tool. These cleaning systems are available in various series and types. It is a low cost, simple and convenient solution for removing unwanted contaminants or debris from the internal tube or pipe diameter. |

1. What is Stauff Tube Cleaning System?
Stauff Tube Clean Systems are tools designed to help remove dirt and contaminants from the inner parts of tubes, pipes, and hoses. The clean system comprises a variety of designed nozzles, a pneumatic launcher, and projectiles. The cleaning system comprises of a pneumatic launcher and it comes with a range of specially designed nozzles. The standard Stauff launcher kit design SC-10UV-K is complete of 10 sets of the universal nozzle.
The tube launcher uses standard industrial compressed air application in the working pressure range from 87 to 116 psi/ 6 to 8 bar to propel and move a standard round form projectile through the nozzle and into the tube or pipe be cleaned. The cleaning system requires little formal expertise to operate the cleaning system and provides a safe and environmentally friendly toll. The launcher is the part of the system that controls the air supply to propel the projectile from the start to the end of the cleaning process. The head nozzle is used to affect and shape the airtight seal on any round hollow pipe or tube with selection with or without end fittings connection. The major purpose is to compress the form projectile allowing it to enter and insert the tube's internal diameter.

2. What are the various tube cleaning methods?
STAUFF Tube Cleaning System

Tube, pipe, or hose cleaning is an activity carried out periodically on an installation's internal parts. It is aimed at maintaining, cleaning, or repairing damaged tubes and pipes. Process fluid passing through the pipes or tubes most times have debris and contaminants in it. These contaminants get clogged up in the pathway, thereby leading to an obstruction of flow. Also, corrosion of materials may occur leading to the damage of some vital parts. To solve this problem, many processes and tools have been manufactured to help elongate the lifespan of systems and keep the flow of fluids smooth and free of debris.
The processes are largely classified into three types, which are chemical process, mechanical process, and thermal process. The chemical process involves using chemicals or other cleaning liquid substances to clear out the deposited dirt. The process is carried out after the whole system has been closed. A major drawback of this technique is that cleaning huge systems will require a large amount of cleaning substances. However, the chemical cleaning process can be carried out in any system. |
For thermal cleaning, the tube or hose is exposed to heat, making the clogged dirt get dried up and rinsed out of the system. This process is mostly used to sterilize tubes in medical or food companies due to the delicacy of their production and the need to ensure they are free from harmful substances that could threaten consumers' health.
The mechanical cleaning process involves using mechanical tube cleaning systems to clean out the dirt in the system. This mechanical body will be inserted into the inner part of the system and moved through the whole body to carry out dirt.

3. What is the Projectile Tube Cleaning System?
A projectile is any object used under the influence of force to move freely in space. The projectile in Stauff tube cleaning system is a major object that works during the cleaning of tubes. The clean system uses projectiles' principle or propelling foam pellets of diverse density and structure on the pipework. They work on maximum velocities without detaching from the pipe's inner structure to remove the unwanted elements and contaminants. Also, to ensure the inner part of the tubes is clean from all dirt.
The projectile force is derived through standard industrial compressed air calculated as 100 PSI or 7 bar. This is done through a launcher that is lightweight and designed as a pistol-grip. This launcher makes the Stauff tube cleaning system easy to operate with little expertise knowledge and safe to work with.
The Stauff tube cleaning system projectiles are available in four different series. They are Standard Series (S), Abrasive Series (A), Grinding Series (G), and the Coupling Series (C)

The Stauff tube cleaning system projectiles are available in four different series. They are Standard Series (S), Abrasive Series (A), Grinding Series (G), and the Coupling Series (C)
- Standard Series (S): the standard series is designed mainly to clean tubes, pipes, and hoses that have no end fittings attached to them.
- Abrasive Series (A): the abrasive series is designed to clean metal pipes and tubes and remove scale and light rust. Tubes and pipes can get rusted easily when the material used do not have an anti-corrosion feature or the chemicals contribute to the high risk of corrosion. Corrosion will lead to wear, however, before the tube or pipe is damaged, light rust particles may gather in the flow pathway. But, the abrasive series has been designed to help remove these particles. This could help elongate the lifespan of the tubes or pipes.
- Coupling Series (C): the coupling series is specially designed to remove particles from hoses with end fittings or hose assemblies, tubes, and pipes.
- Grinding Series (G): the grinding series is a special product that is only available when ordered beforehand. They are designed to remove and clean up heavier rust and buildup. When rust particles are not cleaned up early enough, the buildup and block pathway, hence the need for Grinding Series (G).
4. How can you select the right sizes for the projectile and nozzle?
|
To ensure the Stauff tube cleaning systems' right performance, selecting the projectile and nozzle sizes rightly is important. The nozzles are to be compatible with tube or hose end fitting and mostly available in universal sizes that are suitable for use with any tube or hose end. Asides from this, other nozzle sizes are in BSP, JIC, and Metric fittings.
For the projectiles, you have to consider the type of fitting (if there’s any), tube or hose type, and the level of contamination of the mechanisms. Whichever size is chosen, the right use is slated for once and should be discarded after. And to ensure maximum safety of the user, a mesh collection bag can be attached to the pipe. However, the general rule for projectile selection is that the mechanism (projectile) should be 15% larger in diameter than the internal diameter of the pipe or hose. |
