Applications and operating conditions of a five-plunger high-pressure cleaning machine

I. Core Applications

Industrial Pipe and Vessel Cleaning

Large Pipe Dredging Used for removing scaling, oil stains, and sediment from the inner walls of large-diameter pipes (such as oil pipelines and sewage pipes) in petrochemical, power plant, and municipal sectors.

Heat Exchanger Maintenance Cleaning water scale and rust from the inside of heat exchangers, condensers, and boiler tubes to prevent corrosion caused by chemical cleaning.

Metallurgy and Manufacturing

Steel Descaling (Removing Oxide Scale) During steel rolling, high-pressure water jets efficiently remove iron oxide scale from the surface of hot-rolled steel, replacing acid pickling processes.

Casting/Machined Part Deburring For complex structures such as die castings, valve cross-holes, blind holes, and threaded holes, customized nozzles (such as 45° angled or 90° double-sided water jets) can precisely remove burrs while simultaneously cleaning chips and oil stains, suitable for automotive parts and aerospace precision parts.

Energy and Infrastructure

Oilfield Water Injection and Additive Injection Provides high-pressure water injection for large-volume secondary oil recovery, improving crude oil recovery rate.

Ship and Bridge Maintenance Hull derusting, deck cleaning, and anticorrosion layer treatment of bridge steel structures, especially suitable for outdoor operations without power (diesel engine driven).

Municipal and Environmental Protection

Urban Pipe Network Dredging Cleaning accumulated sediment in municipal drainage pipes; the water jet propulsion can automatically propel the nozzle forward in the pipe.


⚙️ II. Typical Operating Parameters and Technical Requirements

The following are typical operating configurations for a five-plunger high-pressure pump:

Parameter Type Range/Options Applicable Scenarios Remarks
Pressure Range 17–2800 Bar Low Pressure: Light Scaling Cleaning
High Pressure: Heavy Scaling/Rust Removal
Adjustable pressure, needs to match nozzle diameter
Flow Rate Range 71–1000 L/min High Flow Rate: Oilfield Water Injection, Metallurgical Descaling
Low Flow Rate: Precision Parts Cleaning
Plunger diameter determines flow rate
Power Configuration 355–575 KW High Power (≥450KW): Industrial-grade continuous operation
Low Power: Intermittent cleaning
Electric motor/diesel engine dual-drive options
Drive Type Electric motor (fixed location) or diesel engine (mobile operation) Factory workshops/outdoor environments without power Diesel engine drive is suitable for ship repair
Medium Adaptability Clear water Oilfield additives, metallurgical descaling liquid Avoid wastewater containing solid particles

Special Operating Requirements

Wear Resistance The plunger uses stainless steel nickel-plated alloy material, and the pump head is forced water-cooled to prevent overheating from high-pressure friction.

Automated Control Achieves pressure frequency conversion regulation and fault alarm.

Environmental Compatibility Wastewater requires a supporting recovery system for recycling.


🏭 III. Industry Application Cases

Petrochemical Industry

Scenario Refining plant heat exchanger tube bundle cleaning.

Operating Conditions Using a rotating nozzle to remove hard carbon deposits, reducing cleaning time compared to manual cleaning.

Ship Cleaning

Scenario Engine cylinder block cross-hole deburring.

Operating Conditions Precise cleaning positioning to avoid damage to the hole diameter caused by traditional tools.

Powder Metallurgy

Scenario Water atomization powder making.

Operating Conditions Impacting molten metal into metal powder.


💎 IV. Technological Trends and Market Prospects

High Efficiency Seven-plunger pumps (such as SY1000) have more stable pulses and increased flow rate to 2000L/min, meeting the ultra-high flow rate requirements of powder metallurgy powder making.

Intelligence Adding sensors to monitor pressure and temperature in real time, uploading data to the cloud for analysis, and predicting equipment failures.

Market Growth Global high-pressure cleaner market size is expanding, with high annual growth in industrial demand (especially in central China).

Five-plunger high-pressure cleaners, with their high flow rate + high pressure + strong adaptability have become the mainstream equipment for industrial cleaning. Selection should consider factors such as the nature of the dirt (e.g., hardness, adhesion), the operating environment (power supply, space), and environmental requirements to match the optimal parameter combination.
