The Wet Abrasive Blast System :-
1. Reaching difficult areas behind stiffeners & structures with ease
2. Remove rust on fitting, edges feathered and existing good coating feathered with light profile for new coating application
3. On board ships, ships hull, Static Tanks, Jetties/Wharfs, Pipelines etc where dust is not acceptable and working on live plants
ADVANTAGES AND BENEFITS
1. Enviromentally friendly and good visibility during blasting
2. Economical equipments set up
3. Low media consumption - media consumption is controlled by "differential pressure principle" and "media flow orifice size". Estimated media consumption per m2 is between 8kg to 12kg. Higher for corroded surfaces
4. Low water consumption
5. Low pressure requirement - Wet abrasive system requires 80psi to 100psi compressed air to perform the required surface preparation quality
6. Safety - Utilizing both air and water pressure at such a low output makes the working environment safe. The blasters can maneuver and handle the low pressure gun with ease to reach every corners
7. Hard to reach areas - Hard to reach areas on a ship's tanks are plenty. Wet abrasive system can reach all these areas with ease. No need for tedious hand power tooling to these areas at all
8. Tank cleaning - with extremely low consumption of media, tank cleaning becomes easier
9. Surface Preparation Quality - wet abrasive system has the ability to blast to bare metal removing all corrosion scales and deep rust pitting. At the same time the blasted surfaces is washed off completely all salt and chloride contamination
10. Feathering and Sweeping existing coating
11. Media use - silica sand, copper slag, garnet, sodium bicarbonate, vissy glass, glass beads, plastic beads, walnut shell
12. Cost Comparison
Dry Grit Blast - High
Ultra High Water Jetting - Extremely High
Wet Abrasive System Blasting - Low
