Types
Standard Cleaning balls
Standard sponge rubber ball is used when there is no specific problem or necessary requirements. It’s recommended for continuous use in either fresh water or seawater.
Abrasive balls
Abrasive balls are designed to be used in extremely difficult cases only. It must not be used continuously or often. Abrasive balls are coated belt or fully with carborundum for abrading hard deposits in tubes.
Size(Ball diameter)
SHANXI JSDY’s standard range of balls in diameters from 5-50mm, and we can supply 80mm,100mm,125mm,150mm cleaning ball. Other sizes can be supplied on request.
(How to choose sponge ball)Sponge rubber balls should be slightly oversized to be able to apply enough pressure inside the tube to assure a proper cleaning. Generally the ball sizes should exceeds the inner tube diameter by 1-3mm. We will help you determine the proper size balls to suit your requirements or conditions.
Density(Hardness)
SHANXI JSDY’s sponge rubber balls are available in four hardness:
Soft-150kg/m3
Medium soft-200kg/m3
Medium-250kg/m3
Firm-300kg/m3
Ball lifetime
Essential factors of influence of ball life are: tube roughness, degree of fouling of the tubes, as well as type of fouling. That is why the degree of wear of a cleaning ball fluctuates between approx. 4 weeks or longer, depending on tube condition.
Ball color
Blue, Brown, Red, Green, Orange, Yellow, etc
Other special color available to your request

| SXJSDY balls | SXJSDY sponge balls are sponge rubber balls used to clean the insides of pipes (condenser tubes) in the cooling water system at Power Station. |
| What are they used? | SXJSDY sponge balls are used to maximise the heat transfer efficiency of the water cooling system by removing the build-up of micro-organisms and maintaining an even coating of ferrous chloride in the condenser tubes. Ferrous chloride is used to prevent corrosion of the condenser tubes. |
| How do they work? | Generally sponge balls are slightly larger in size than the inner diameter of the pipe. The balls are injected into the water cooling system and squeezed through the pipes by the pressure of the water,leaving a thin coating of ferrous chloride and dislodging any material on the pipes’ surface. When the sponge balls reach the end of the pipes, they are captured by strainers and recirculated back through the cooling water system |
