Pipe Freezing Machine

Pipe Freezing Unit

Kelly Plumbing has strived to stay abreast with the technological advances in the Plumbing Industry. This is why Phil and his experienced team of professional plumbers are proud to introduce their newest piece of equipment the ROFROST CO² Pipe Freezing Unit, pictured below.

This economical and environmentally friendly option for the plumber helps when servicing, repairing and extending pipe systems. Traditionally when pipes needed to be maintained it was often necessary for the entire water system to be shut down, which could be both inconvenient and costly especially for businesses that rely on this scarce resource. Although fortunately, due to the advances in technology this machine ensures accurate and precise “freeze plugging’ to minimise repair times, eliminate environmental spills and the possible loss of expensive fluids, which results in immediate savings to the consumer.

How does it work your wondering? Well carbon dioxide is used to isolate problem areas in the pipe with freeze plugs. This allows the job to be done in most cases with no system downtime. Then once our work is completed, the plugs are thawed and the line is back in operation, very simple.

Some of the common fluids that our plumbers use pipe-freezing technology for are:

  • Water
  • Waste Water
  • Sewage
  • Slurries
  • Brine Solutions
  • Heavy Oils
  • Transfer Fluids
  • Glycol Solutions
  • Process Chemicals
