Clearguard Group

Blocked or partially plugged instrument tapping points have been a curse on safety as well as accurate and reliable process variable measurement for decades. The Clearguard Autorodder solves the problem. Designed and Manufactured in Western Australia, the Autorodder keeps your tapping points clear at all times. Operating in applications where process temperatures reach 1400 degrees Celsius (2552 degrees Fahrenheit) and process pressures reach 100 BAR (1450psi). The Autorodder is a simple device. By using proven pneumatic cylinders, a special scraper is periodically stroked through the tapping point, scraping all scale and debris from inside the tapping point. The cleaning stroke takes less than a few seconds and as the Autorodder does not affect you process variable measurement, even during the stroke, your field instrument / pressure transmitter is on-line, measuring your process variable. Designed for pressure, level and flow measurement applications, the Autorodder helps you; Eliminate exposing any personnel to the risky and often difficult practice of manually rodding out tapping points – Saving on potential injury, saving on man-hours. Eliminate reduced process production due to unreliable process variable measurement – Saving on inefficient production, maximizing unit production. Eliminate unnecessary parasitic purge – Saving on purge flow, saving on diluted process. Eliminate spurious shut downs and unplanned outages – Saving on lost production, saving on unnecessary maintenance. Proven in multiple applications around the world, the Autorodder has provided a return on investment within weeks. Manufactured in Australia and the USA in accordance with international quality and equipment standards.
