Extran has improved its service and cleaning capabilities for their clients, with the introduction of Ultrasonic Cleaning Equipment to the site.

      After extensive research into the technology of Ultrasonic cleaning and its practical application to the already existent cleaning capabilities of the company, Extran has purchased a number of units and implemented the use of these machines into the current cleaning practices. Our Aluminium Oil Coolers and small to medium sized Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers can be successfully cleaned using the Ultrasonic process, with excellent results. The largest of these machines has a tank size of 1800mm x 1200mm x 600mm, allowing our technicians to clean most of the Coolers that are sent to us.

Please contact Extran with your Cooler service and cleaning needs, so we can help you improve the efficiency of your equipment.
