DESCRIPTION OF TECHNOLOGY AND
USER INSTRUCTIONS
BL SWIPER™ is a new patented sewer nozzle
developed for cleaning sewers and storm water pipes
in a cost-effective and resource saving manner (both
money and environment).
The construction of the BL Swiper™ is made to
optimize the cleaning effect by using both the water
flow from the high pressure pump, together with the
jet streams. The water flow, through the pressure in
the jets, creates a jet stream and the jet streams create
thrust through a number of channels. The number
of channels is equal to the number of water jets i.e. a
nozzle supplied with 4 water jets are supplied with 4
channels. The channels are placed in the center of the
nozzle meaning that the total force generated by the
nozzle, both air and water force, are used to clean the
pipe cost-effective.
Tests performed with the BL SWIPER™ has been
determined that the flow rate can almost be cut in
half, compared with normal flow needs. The pressure
has a direct impact on the cleaning ability of the BL
SWIPER™. By increasing the water pressure, the
thrust power will also accelerate, decreasing the total
cleaning time.
Performed tests
BL SWIPER™ when used together with a high pressure jetting unit with
a pump capacity of 100 GPM at a pressure of 1600 PSI.
When cleaning a 9” pipe (225 mm) approx. 350 feet long, using the BL
SWIPER™ with four water jets, sized 2.7 mm (approx. 35 GPM) the unit
was running only at idle speed creating 1250 PSI.
When cleaning a 64” (1600 mm) pipe, same sewer jetting unit was used,
but with the larger BL SWIPER™ supplied with 6 water jets, each jet 3.0
mm. When cleaning the pipe the flow in the nozzle was approx. 65 GPM
and the pressure at the truck 1600 PSI. |
