Picote PVC Cleaning chain

Technical specifications and operation

The Cleaning Chain PVC is designed for situations where mechanical cleaning is necessary, but the integrity of the pipe wall absolutely must be maintained. Due to the lack of carbide cutting surfaces, the chain operates on the basis of impact force and friction rather than machining.

Safe cleaning without carbide

Unlike standard chains that can cut through the pipe wall when overused, this model offers "gentle" mechanical intervention.

• Wall Protection: Safe for use in thin-walled plastic pipes or aged copper pipes.

• Surface cleaning: Removes sludge, grease and light scale without leaving scratches that can hold new contamination.

Deployment and equipment

Application areas

• Plastic drain systems (PVC/PE): Safely clearing household drains without risk of leakage from mechanical damage.

• Copper piping: Ideal for older installations where corrosion has corroded the wall thickness and a careful approach is required.

• Light root infiltration: The effective removal of fine roots in clay or plastic pipes.

• Rapid Flow: A first-response tool to quickly restore flow in the event of an acute blockage before a thorough inspection.

Important to the operator: Although this chain does not contain carbide, the centrifugal force at high speeds remains significant. When used in very thin or damaged plastic piping, it is recommended to build up the RPM in a measured manner.
