Ductwork Cleaning Methods

• Britewater has invested in a range of different automated cleaning technologies because:
• Most air conditioning systems are large and complex
• No single cleaning system can handle all sizes of ductwork
• Varying standards of cleanliness are required for different types of systems
• Adopting various cleaning technologies brings benefits in terms of economy, reduced downtime with minimal disruption

Pressovac System

The sophisticated brushing system employs various sizes, grades and configurations of brush heads driven by air motors.

It provides a high grade of surface cleanliness in many different types of ductwork. The Pressovac system can clean up to 50m of ducting in a single pass.

Rotary Brushing

A rotating brush system is used essentially for smaller systems and branches of large ducting and flexible trunking to individual diffusers.

Air Jetting

The air jetting technique consists of two systems. One is used for small ducting, such as toilet extract and flexible trunking.

The larger Ventrico system employs high-volume compressed air, to loosen dirty deposits, and vacuum extraction equipment, to remove this material from the system. It is capable of cleaning complicated systems up to 50m from a single entry point.

Manual Cleaning

Manual cleaning is used for air handling units and larger ducting, where Britewater’s experienced staff employ heavy duty vacuum equipment to remove dust accumulation.

Dust Extraction

Once loosened, the dust and dirt must be removed from the ducting. Custom designed and manufactured high volume extractor modules, incorporating cartridge filters each of 50m2, are employed. A single module is used on smaller ducts with several units being employed on larger ducting, where a greater volume of air extraction is required.

This unique system ensures the removed dirt is captured and contained within the filter unit, avoiding contamination of the workplace.
