Re: Swaging machine
Talking of tubes etc, it would be wise to use boiler chemical to help tube and boiler life. Here are some pictures of our 19D 2685 after long use of chemicals adapted for the water we use at USR. Any water treatment specialists should be able to help you out. We spending around R350 a day on chemical,well worth it. These tubes are 13 years old and still look good.
