- Cooling water lines
- Emulsion lines
- Product lines
- Raw, service and river water pipes
- Waste water pressure lines
Product lines
Your product lines show deposits or no longer deliver the desired flow rate? Then it’s time for comprex®.
Applications:
- Filling systems
- Production facilities
Cooling and temperature control systems
Corrosion problems, biofilms, or compromised cooling performance plaguing your cooling systems? Put your trust in comprex®.
Applications:
- Main circuits
- Secondary circuits
- Recooling plants
- Heat exchanger
Machine and tool cooling
The cooling capacity of your machines is reduced? Are you experiencing increased cycle times or increased scrap in production?
With comprex® we optimize the cooling of your machines.
Applications:
- Machine tools
- Production machinery
- Plastic injection molding machines
- Injection molds
Cooling lubricant (KSS)
The necessary cleaning of the screens and filters of your cooling lubricant lines leads more and more often to downtimes of your plants? Eliminate the causes of the blockages with comprex®.
Applications:
- Machining processes
- Grinding processes
Heat Exchangers & Heat Exchangers
Your heat exchangers are no longer working efficiently? Then it’s time for comprex®.
In addition to cleaning stationary heat exchangers and piping on site at your facility, we operate a comprex® cleaning center at our location in Landau.
Cooling circuits and towers
With comprex® we offer an alternative to chemical cleaning of cooling circuits.
Cooling tower types:
- Wet cooling tower
- Hybrid cooling tower
- Adiabatic cooling tower
Extinguishing systems
Functioning extinguishing systems are an essential part of fire protection.
Deposits can impair the function. With comprex® we create security.
- Water extinguishing systems
- Other types of extinguishing systems
- Sprinkler systems
- Water spray systems
- Water mist systems
- Foam extinguishing systems
Heating systems
Deposits in heating circuits and heating systems significantly reduce the flow rate and heat transfer. They cause considerable operating problems in the long term. With comprex® we provide a remedy.

Comprex® cleaning process
Our comprex® impulse rinsing process works entirely without chemicals, instead using only air and water according to a principle of physics. We inject filtered air into the section to be cleaned – in a controlled and pulsed manner. This creates packets of air and water blocks that flow through the section at high velocity.
They generate enormous turbulence with strong shear and drag forces, whereby they manage to mobilize and reliably discharge existing deposits. The result: clean pipes and clean water – efficient, gentle and economical.

A clean result in just a few steps
Our approach
We operate across a wide range of industries and specialize in versatile cleaning applications. Find out here how our comprex® process can successfully and efficiently clean the many systems.
01
Individual preplanning
Every cleaning measure requires careful pre-planning. We always take into account the local conditions and effortlessly adapt our comprex® process to the requirements of the equipment and systems in your plant. During the pre-planning stage, we determine the cleaning sections with feed-in and feed-out points and plan the cleaning sequence.
02
Define the input and Output points
For cleaning, we can often use existing inlets and outlets or connections on the system to be cleaned. Standardized adapters simplify connection. Depending on the conditions on site, we use the water from the system itself or from other supply systems for cleaning. The cleaning of the main pipelines is followed by the cleaning of apparatus such as heat exchangers or machines.
03
Bringing in the comprex® impulses
Controlled by special software, we introduce targeted pulses of compressed air and water into the section to be cleaned via the feed points. Depending on local conditions, our large self-sufficient comprex® trailers or smaller compact comprex® units are used. The mobile units require only electricity and compressed air or inert gas from the customer’s plant.
04
Compress & Expand
The compressed air introduced into the pipeline or apparatus expands inside and, together with the slowly inflowing water, generates impulsive blocks of water and air. These cleaning-effective packages flow through the cleaning section at velocities of up to 20 m/s.
05
Debris removal
The highly accelerated air and water blocks generate enormous turbulence with strong shear and drag forces on the inner surfaces of the pipelines. In this way, biofilms and deposits can be mobilized and reliably discharged. With comprex® , we nevertheless clean gently and always remain below the permissible system pressure.
06
Turbidity monitoring
We document the purging process precisely. The success of comprex® cleaning can be seen, for example, in the heat transfer and system characteristic curves. A sight glass is used to monitor the turbidity, which makes the loading of the rinsing water with detached particles visible. If necessary, the discharge can be collected and assessed with filter fleece in the decompression box.
