The system operates by using a cylinder assembly with various interchangeable brushes that vibrate between 1,000 and 3000 times per minute to effectively scrub and clean the interior surfaces of the barrel.
The complete kit includes:
- A central control box and supply hoses
- A cylinder assembly with a bore rammer
- Multiple types of brushes (Abrasive, Nylon, and Bronze) for both the bore and chamber
- An oil dispenser for lubrication
- A foam dispenser assembly for de-coppering tasks

A thick, expanding foam that is applied through a specific dispenser included in the kit. Need the foam's chemical components to work by oxidizing the copper and brass fouling, breaking it down for easy removal with the system's brushes. It needs to be a non-hazardous and non-corrosive formula and free of ammonia. The solvent needs to be odorless and environmentally safe. It also has an effective wide range of temperatures, from -30°C to +55°C. This type of foaming solvent needs to provide a deep-cleaning chemical action to complement the mechanical scrubbing of the pneumatic brushe
