HX – HEAT EXCHANGER ULTRASONIC CLEANER
WE ARE A SPECIALIZED BRAND IN SELLING ULTRASONIC EQUIPMENT FOR CLEANING HEAT EXCHANGERS
HX Power Cleaning brand is specialized in selling industrial ultrasonic heat exchanger cleaning machines for shell-and-tube bundles. HX Power Cleaning is supported by Ultratecno, specialists in ultrasonic cleaning machinery for many types of applications with more than 50 years’ experience operating in the ultrasound world market.
Ultratecno industrial ultrasonic cleaning systems is well known for leading the manufacture of large ultrasonic cleaning tanks using 28 kHz ultrasonic cavitation technology for difficult applications such as shell-and-tube heat exchanger maintenance in the petrochemical, oil & gas industry.
The leaders in high-quality ultrasonic cleaning machines for heat exchangers for Oil & Gas turnaround applications for heat exchanger cleaning. HX currently distributes heat exchanger cleaner in Europe, Asia, Africa, America, and Oceania.
WHY CLEAN HEAT EXCHANGER WITH ULTRASOUND TECHNOLOGY?
Ultrasonic cleaning of heat exchangers and other heavy-industry components requires best-in-class ultrasound technology to remove bonded deposits efficiently.
There are many methods and processes available, but none match the consistency of 28 kHz; see our ultrasonic vs. hydroblasting heat exchanger cleaning comparison for a practical overview.
Your parts are immersed in a large stainless-steel tank with a calibrated detergent. Wall-mounted transducers generate sound waves and microbubbles that implode—this controlled cavitation process lifts scale, polymers and other residues from complex geometries.
After the bath, loosened deposits are removed with a controlled rinse to deliver a uniform finish and stable restart performance—helping recover design heat-transfer more quickly.
If you need to clean a plate heat exchanger for the petrochemical industry, review a real-world example in the Ultratecno Open House ultrasonic cleaning demo.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HEAT EXCHANGER TUBE CLEANING
WITH HX POWER ULTRASONIC TECHNOLOGY?
BEST PERFORMANCE ON THE MARKET
✅ Ultrasonic cleaning with powerful blasting effect inside and outside delivers a bare-metal finish and removes calcium carbonate deposits.
✅ Increases flow volume and heat-transfer rate; exchangers return at up to 95% of original design performance. Our shell-and-tube cleaning process typically performs twice as fast as hydro-blasting.
✅ Ensures consistent heat-transfer performance across bundles.
✅ Results depend on the machine—not on operator variability.
✅ Ultrasonic cavitation protects base material and avoids high-pressure water damage; review ultrasonic cleaning machine features and specs.
✅ Capable of cleaning different spare parts simultaneously within a controlled, closed-tank workflow.
✅ Recipe-driven cleaning cycles with logged bath chemistry, temperature, and time—audit-ready QA and repeatable results across outages.
✅ Containerized setup staged near the pull area reduces crane moves and idle time, increasing bundles per shift.
HUGE COST SAVINGS
✅ Huge labour cost savings as hydroblasting (high-demanding manpower) is reduced by ~75% — only rinsing is required.
✅ Chemicals savings: the bath can be reused with up to 80 heat exchangers per preparation (and up to three consecutive turnarounds with controlled-climate storage up to five years), achieving massive efficiencies in the Oil & Gas industry.
✅ Higher cleaning performance extends run time and can double periods between turnarounds; see a documented demonstration in the Ultratecno Open House ultrasonic cleaning demo.
✅ Overall cleaning-associated costs are reduced by ~50% compared to traditional hydroblasting, thanks to faster cycles and fewer reworks.
✅ Lower water usage with controlled temperature management—no need for continuous hot-water jets or overspray containment.
✅ Cleaner work zones with minimal contamination around the cleaning area due to closed-tank operation and simplified housekeeping.
SAFETY
- Hydro-blasting work is reduced by over 75% and only required for rinsing purposes, reducing associated risk
- Reduces operators´ exposure to water treatment chemicals being an a non toxic method.
- No transportation risks for large parts.
SUSTAINABILITY
- 66% Water consumption savings in comparison with hydroblasting (100.000 litres per unit)
- 66% reduced waste-water generation as baths are reused multiple times
- 10-15% reduced energy consumption & greenhouse gas emission
- Increases recycling of old parts and reducing disposal cost
