Goodway Technologies is making a dirty job easier according to contractor judges in the 2013 Dealer Design Awards. The manufacturer’s RAMPRO Chiller Tube Cleaner earned gold in the DDA’s Hand Tools category. The portable rotary tube cleaner is compact and lightweight, and is specifically designed for contractors who clean high volumes of chiller and heat exchanger tubes up to 1-inch in diameter. The machine offers advanced design features like a chain drive, integrated water flush, quick-connect shafts and brushes, and reversible shaft rotation.
“We’re using the RAMPRO on a weekly, if not daily, basis starting each fall and winding up in early spring,” said Brandon Sonju, service operations manager, Bel-Aire Mechanical, Phoenix. “Goodway has always been the leader in this market, offering quality products. They’ve done a great job in adapting new technologies to better their product line and the RAMPRO is a shining example of that.”
According to Goodway, almost three years of design and research went into the RAMPRO Chiller Tube Cleaner from conception to production. “Our products are used by contractors and facilities engineers. They are the best focus group there is. In fact, the initial idea for this product came out of our constant communications with our contractor end users,” said Timothy Kane, president, Goodway Technologies. “Once we completed a preliminary design and constructed a good working prototype, we asked a few of our contractor customers to give it a go and provide us with feedback. That process continued through the design and into production, and it continues today.”
