Jetting machine prepares on land and under water

Pressure jetting machine is developed for surface cleaning and preparation in applications on dry land or down to 10m below water.

The new Aquabrade H10 from Fraser Pump is a highly efficient pressure jetting machine developed for surface cleaning and preparation in applications on dry land or down to 10m below water.

And since the design uses only low nozzle pressure (less than 5.5bar) it creates both a more user friendly, safer operating area whilst also reducing environmental pollution.

Aquabrade H10 delivers a precise controlled blend of liquid, abrasives and compressed air, discharged in the form of a wet slurry via a cleaning nozzle, the effect is to scour away encrustations such as paint and corrosion remarkably quickly.

By varying nozzle pressure and type of abrasive the Aquabrade H10 is able to tackle a wide variety of applications on both hard and soft surfaces, including the cleaning of GRP and steel hulls, wooden decking and corrosion removal for weld preparation.

Other shallow water applications include pipeline repair, cleaning polluted oil residues from harbour pilings and stonework.

One of the many advantages brought to the market by the Aquabrade H10 is faster cleaning and preparation work compared with dry-grit or high-pressure jetting systems.

Mike Dyson, Director of Fraser Pump says "For many harbour operators the Aquabrade H10 fulfils many routine cleaning applications extremely efficiently".

"It is a versatile and flexible machine designed to provide both topside and subsea operational capability in a single unit".

"This has an advantage over traditional machines, enabling hull cleaning operations to be successfully carried out without the need to take boats into dry dock".

The Aquabrade H10 has initially been developed as a trolley version that can be easily deployed anywhere on a single site.

It comprises abrasive and water reservoirs and a water, air and abrasive mixing facility, control valves and pumping equipment.

Fraser Pump can also provide the Aquabrade H10 machine in skid or trailer mounted versions.
