Aquablast Middle East new concept in UHP waterblasting technology

Posted: 27 September 2003

Aquablast Middle East , the High Pressure and Ultra High Pressure water Jetting specialist company based in Dubai has introduced a new concept in to the Middle East in UHP waterblasting technology.

Aquablasts new 55000 psi water blasting pump technology enables blast contractors to blast up to twice as fast as what is currently available to them in the market within the Middle and Far East.

The Aquablast twin gun systems utilise 8 liters of water per minute per gun at 3800 bar. On tests carried out on a 700 micron two coat epoxy painted surface, the blaster was able to produce 16 meters of blasted surface per hour to a water jet equivalent of that of SA.2.5.

This means that one pump operating the twin gun system can blast upto 32 square meters an hour. These rates are currently 4 times faster than dry blasting and three times that of 40'000 psi water blasting.

Due to the low flow and higher pressure output , water blasters are able to blast longer without suffering fatigue. With the added bonus of using the Aquablast Stripper Gun II, the lightest gun available today in the market, the man hour down time is greatly reduced.

The benefits of utilising Aquablasts environmentally friendly UHP water blasting technology over that of dry grit media blasting is no grit purchase, no grit clean up and disposal cost, allowing other trades to carry on work in the surrounding blast vicinity, and the elimination of breathing apparatus requirement for the blaster.
