Stoneage Sentinel
Automated tube and pipe cleaning system
Hands-free, fast, repeatable.
The Stoneage Sentinel is designed to support hands-free, high-pressure cleaning for heat exchangers, pipe bundles, and industrial piping.
Robotic cleaning systems prioritise safety and enhance precision and operational efficiency. Our StoneAge Sentinel AutoBox 3L is a remote-operated, track-mounted system designed to deliver precision cleaning in high-risk environments. Built for shutdowns and complex industrial setups, it eliminates manual jetting and enhances consistency, speed, and safety, through:
- No-man-entry cleaning – removes operators from the jetting zone, reducing fatigue and injury risk
- Remote operation – enables control from outside hazardous areas
- Smart feed control – adjustable dwell time and lance speed for programmable cleaning
- Track-mounted flexibility – adaptable to vertical, horizontal, and overhead setups
- High-pressure compatibility – supports jetting systems up to 3000 bar
- Real-time data insights – Sentinel Link provides job metrics to optimise productivity
- Precision control – Sentinel sensors ensure accurate lance positioning even without visibility
- Compact deployment – lightweight frame for quick setup and mobile use
- Safety-first design – minimises exposure to pressurised water, heat, and chemical residues
Our use of the Sentinel AutoBox 3L with Sentinel Smart Technology has been proven to achieve 30% faster cleaning using triple, dual, or single flex lances.
Use Cases
The Sentinel 3L helps our customers tackle high-risk cleaning challenges safely and efficiently. Typical scenarios include:
- Cleaning heat exchangers and tube bundles during shutdowns
- Restoring performance in scaled or blocked systems
- Operating in hazardous zones with remote control and digital feedback
- Reducing cleaning time by up to 75% compared to manual methods
- Supporting sustainability by lowering water and fuel consumption’
We have used this technology for a number of our clients, including Contact Energy and Top Energy, helping to reduce cleaning time while providing an efficient and effective way to clean heat exchangers.
