Diamond Power PowerTrain sootblower carriage for high-temperature applications

Outstanding durability and self-lubricating

The PowerTrain maintenance-free sootblower carriage is designed to operate reliably under extreme boiler conditions. Even after tens of thousands of cycles under harsh conditions, it requires no internal maintenance or lubrication making it an attractive replacement or upgrade for existing Diamond Power sootblowers, as well as a default choice for new units. 

The Diamond Power PowerTrain maintenance-free carriage is the industry’s most reliable and long-lasting sootblower carriage available today. The PowerTrain carriage offers high-temperature service, without periodic maintenance. It really stands out, even under harsh operating conditions and frequent cycles. 

Benefits

No lubrication maintenance — ever  

Since packing will be your only maintenance item, the PowerTrain carriage also cuts lubrication-related costs. There’s never a need for lubrication maintenance because the carriage features self-lubricated bearings; at-assembly, lifetime gear-side lubrication; and low-friction, dry-film lubrication on the hub chamber’s gear set. Also, since there is no need to add lubricant, there’s never a housekeeping issue. 

Extended service life, fewer required rebuilds 

The PowerTrain carriage offers unparallelled longevity. Extensive testing in the lab and in operating installations worldwide proves it. Even after tens of thousands of cycles under harsh operating conditions, the PowerTrain carriage eliminates the need for periodic lubrication. And, depending on blowing pressure and cycle rate, it extends the mean time between required rebuilds beyond 50,000 operations. Even at 20 cycles per day, that’s potentially more than seven years of trouble-free operation. 

Reliable operation, superior warranty coverage  

The PowerTrain carriage comes with an unparalleled written warranty, for reliable operation without internal maintenance, for three (3) years or 30,000 operational cycles, whichever occurs first. Other than normal feed tube packing changes or adjustments (which are external to the carriage), the PowerTrain carriage requires no internal maintenance or lubrication during the warranty period. 

Features

In short, the PowerTrain upgrade eliminates routine lubrication maintenance and frequent rebuilds, saving you time and money while keeping your sootblower running reliably.
