Cleaning dry hard set cement paste from 8" cast iron paste pipes using various nozzles to achieve the best outcome. The Root Ranger Double Ended Nozzle came out on top.
It’s a good thing this is being done above ground on a trailer, because my customers would be super pissed when I tell them this thing is stuck in the sewer line and now we need to dig up the line......no thanks, no warranty, guarantee or sales pitch would put me at ease with that one. But if I’m cleaning out a pipe on a trailer, I’m all in.
For those of you who don't know, pipe jetting is common practice. It's the heavy alternative to running a cable (snake) through a pipe to clear a blockage. Now as far as the concrete in the line, 1. I believe this video is a demo for this Head. 2. There will be times rocks a inert materials find their way into drains , holes in caved in or compromised (clay or cast iron) drain/grey water lines.
In Prague, Czech Republic there is a bank built in late 1920s which has a pneumatic tube post system. Unfortunately the Germans filled it with either cement or concrete during the Second World War, when they took the building over and used it as Gestapo HQ. The tubes are not very big, about 10 cm, I guess. Would the tools and techniques demonstrated in this video be able to clear such a system? Thank you.
I967 Hi, it depends on what type of cement was used. You would have to try it first. You need a water jetter and a forward firing turbo nozzle. Do you have access to a water jetter? I’m contactable at bill2601@gmail.com
i don't understand how that cement got in the line?? I don't know if i would have went through all the work and expense of jetting it, maybe just replace it???
Sometimes even concrete equipment breaks down. According to Murphy's Law, this will happen at the worst time possible, while your equipment is full of wet concrete. Once you're repaired the original malfunction, the wet concrete has now cured. Removal by pressure blasting is a lot cheaper than replacing all the equipment.
much cheaper to blast it out, those high pressure pipes are extremely expensive. Someone forgot to clean or a water problem, etc. Not that serious. A headache and not cool, but life.
They probably did replace it. Any place that would pump things probably has a spare few of this and that lying around for when shit happens. Pipes get clogged, motors break down..et cetera. You swap out the broken part, but it likely costs many of thousands of dollars and throwing it out kinda sucks. Paying some guys to come out in their special truck to restore it to working order probably costs 1/10 that. Plus, then you have a spare part for when that shiny new part inevitably breaks and the circle of life begins once again. TL;DR Have two of everything.
А каким образом он попадет в трубу ебень? Это от бетононасоса а с щебнем никто не подает так что кончай фантазировать и врубать немыслимые закидоны типа а застывшую лаву уберет а а? щасты
Robert Maki This is a section of cast iron pipe removed from a mine site in Western Australia. These are paste pipes that convey cement paste back down into the empty mine caverns to fill them up to prevent them from caving in. It’s a very common problem.
@@bill26011 -- And presumably, one would want to address the problem fairly quickly, and not allow the cement a month to set up to rated strength. It's relatively weak stuff within the first few days.
@@grizzlygrizzle You are correct, every day you wait, the paste sets harder. This pipe was sent to me from WA and it was very hard. The soft paste is cleaned very quickly.
@@bill26011 -- Just as a side note, in response to some of the comments that suggest that replacing the pipe might be cheaper than cleaning it, do you have any estimate of how much that section of pipe might cost to replace?
grizzlygrizzle The 8” cast iron pipe with welded flanges would cost around $1200 a length plus freight to the remote mine site in Western Australia, estimated at around $1600. This pipe is then placed somewhere inside the mine. It could be up to 2km underground. The pipes are moved around depending on where they need it. The old way of clearing the pipes was to remove them, push cleaning rods through the pipe to remove the slurry blockages and replace them. At a blocked section, many pipes and elbows have to be removed. It takes 4 men a day to remove and replace a section of blocked pipe. These pipes are sitting 12m above the ground. To remove the pipes, you have to block the movement of the massive extraction trucks. It costs the mine over $250,000 every time the pipes block. The water jet with our nozzle, cleans the blockage, with no disruption to the mine, within 1 hour.
Miles Williams I’ve done this many times, the slurry blasts back out of the drain when you drag the hose back. You can only do small sections at a time or the slurry builds up and jams the nozzle.
The end of the video says it all, see the Jetting device dissolve the cement like it was steaming hot water melting a slug of chocolate, will that work on clogs from like grease, food waste, toilet paper, anal wipes, etc. in an aging apartment complex?? do you know of the approx. cost?? warren
WARREN CORCORAN Water Jets are used to cut anything basically, people use precise Lazer technology along with a water jet to cut through METALS GRANITE etc etc. If it can cut stone you best believe it can cut anything pretty much lol
Liam Hogeterp you dont have to see it to know how its made,its concrete slurry not fucking cement slurry.If it was pure cement slurry it would have no aplication at all because cement is hard but is also weak under pressure.Its the agregate that gives concrete the strength,cement only binds it together.This is a fine sand and cement mix, so its concrete.You ignorant shit head!
