Operating Principle
- Due to its specially developed control technology, the water jet creates a meander shaped pattern on the side and opposite wall
- The water penetrates into the pores, evaporates and causes an abrupt increase in the volume, resulting in deposit removal
- The blowing tube movements are directly and continuously monitored.
- Use of different combinations of nozzle sizes and blowing pressures to clean opposite walls at a distance of up to 25m
Technical Summary
The SMART Cannon represents the most advanced furnace cleaning technology available. With over 2800 installations worldwide, the SMART Cannon has proven to be the most effective and reliable furnace cleaning device in the market. The SMART Cannon uses water as the cleaning medium and is designed as a three-dimensional cleaning device with “X” and “Y” axis control facilitated through self-contained, modular linear drives designed to travel approximately 45 degrees in each direction and the “Z” axis controlled through varying water pressure during its operation.
