Hand Held Sand Removal Tool

TORE®LANCE

TORE®LANCE is a portable tool for removing slurry from vessels, tanks and sludge pits.

TORE®LANCE is supplied in 1 inch and 2 inch sizes. The 1 inch version can be used by one operator as a hand held tool and transports up to 4 tonnes per hour. The 2 inch version requires two operators or a boom to support it and transports up to 16 tonnes in one hour.

Benefits

• Easy removal of solids and sludge from tanks, vessels, pits, sewers etc, including difficult to reach areas
• Enables solids and slurries to be removed from confined spaces where digging with spades is not possible
• Eliminates the need to handle heavy items such as buckets, drums or bags
• No moving parts in contact with the solids or slurry
• Can reduce dust levels as solids are wetted as they are removed
• Can be machine or boom mounted for heavy duty or remote operation
• Quiet operation

How TORE®LANCE works

TORE®LANCE incorporates a TORE® in conjunction with a jet pump. It operates at atmospheric pressure requiring only a water feed. It is supplied in stainless steel with ceramic inserts for the jet pump.

Water is fed to the TORE®LANCE via a flexible hose. The operating valve is adjusted to regulate distribution of the water to either the jet pump or the TORE®. Water exiting the TORE®, located at the top of the TORE®LANCE, generates a vortex which fluidises the solids and controls the flow of slurry to jet pump. The jet pump provides the motive force for transportation if the slurry.

TORE®LANCE can be used as an integral part of a wider solids or sand management system, for example by feeding slurry to TORE®SCRUB for solids cleaning or to TORE®HYDROHOIST for lifting and transporting slurry over heights and distances. TORE®LANCE can also be mounted on a remote operated vehicle (ROV) for use in situations where it may be hazardous or too restricted for an operator to enter.
