Yorkshire Water engineers have been blown away by the success of new technology developed by Whirlwind. Click here for more...
The Whirlwind™ Aggregate Cleaning Unit (WACU) is unique in that a constant velocity of air flow is established firstly before a controlled feed of aggregate is introduced into the air flow which provides a uniform cleaning patter along the pipeline being cleaned.

The Whirlwind™ Cleaning Rig provides a more consistent timescale no matter what the condition of the main and, using only two personnel can typically clean a section of main in less than 1 hour. The system can clean much longer lengths of main than conventional systems and has cleaned sections of main up to 1,000 metres long in a single operation. The Equipment is extremely manoeuvrable and can clean sections previously inaccessible to the present systems. And finally the system is not limited to straight lengths of pipe like both rack feed and drag scrapers and comfortably
cleans around 90 deg bends, through T pieces and handles changes in diameter.
