Acid Cleaning After Pickling

Pickling is a metal surface treatment used to remove impurities, such as stains, inorganic contaminants, rust or scale from ferrous metals, copper, precious metals and aluminum alloys. A Solution called pickle liquor, which contains strong acids, is used to remove the surface impurities. It is commonly used to clean steel in various steel manufacturing processes.

Many hot working processes and other processes that occur at high temperatures leave a discoloring oxide layer or scale on the surface. In order to remove the scale the work-piece is dipped into a vat of pickle liquor.

In false consideration of cost saving, some people use chemical cleaning method (i.e. acid etc.) & mechanical cleaning methods (i.e. brushes, metal/plastic scrapers, and abrasive balls) for tube cleaning after Pickling of Pipes. But this type of conventional methods are expensive in long period, takes longer for the operation to be completed, and the subsequent disposal of the chemicals, an environmental hazard, creates its own set of problems. In chemicals cleaning method, it has also been found quite frequently that some residual material will still need to be removed by mechanical cleaning methods. During this kind of conventional methods of cleaning, there is also a gradual erosion of tube metal, which ultimately reduces the life Pipes after Pickling Process.

To avoid such type of problems LYNX Pumps are most appropriate solution of Pipes; Tubes Cleaning after Pickling Process. Our Water Jet Pumps are user friendly and clean the tubes very effectively in a lesser time.
