DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT AND
INTENDED USE
The AUTOBOX
®
(ABX-2L-V2) System consists of the AUTOBOX
®
(ABX-2L-V2) Hose Tractor, Control Box, Hose Guide Assembly, and
Lightweight Positioner. This system was developed for “Hands Free”
heat exchanger tube cleaning applications. It is recommended to be
used with StoneAge’s Banshee line of self-rotary waterblast tools.
The AUTOBOX
®
(ABX-2L-V2) System was designed to accommodate
two simultaneous flex lances ranging in size from 3/2 to 8/4 matched
with the appropriate BN9.5, BN13, BN15, or BN18 size Banshees.
The AUTOBOX
®
(ABX-2L-V2) Hose Tractor utilizes six synchronized
drive rollers to control the rate at which the hose and Banshee tools
are advanced or retracted within the exchanger tubes.
The Hose Guide Assembly provides anti-withdrawal protection,
and precise tube pitch adjustment. The Lightweight Positioner can
be mounted to a variety of heat exchanger tube bundles and has
pneumatic powered horizontal and vertical drives.
The Control Box is small and lightweight with an emphasis on
ergonomics. The AUTOBOX
®
(ABX-2L-V2) system was designed
with simplicity, safety, lightweight components, durability, and
reliability in mind. It can be easily carried to the job site and setup in
minutes.
The AUTOBOX
®
(ABX-2L-V2) must not be put into service within
the European Community (“EC”) until the final machinery into which
it is to be incorporated has been declared in conformity with the
Machinery Directive and all other applicable EC Directives.
