StoneAge has announced the release of the AutoBox ABX-500 hands-free hose handling system. The ABX-500 is the first tool in the AutoBox series designed to provide a safer and more efficient alternative to manual feeding of high-pressure hose for industrial pipe cleaning operations. Removing workers from the immediate dangers of high-pressure water and hazardous chemicals is the primary goal behind the push for hands-free hose handling. 

The ABX-500 can be coupled with any of StoneAge’s rotary tools for pipe cleaning operations. Safely manned from outside the blast zone by a single operator, this portable air-powered device can drive a wide range of hose sizes and pass couplings up to 1.75 inches for uninterrupted, consistent cleaning. 

The machine’s pressurized roller design is simple to operate and adjust, with few parts to maintain and low operating costs. Weighing in at 90 pounds, the ABX-500 can be moved quickly and easily for maximum on-site flexibility.
